In the manufacturing process of Tetra Pak packages, holes are cut out of the paperboard for straws and caps. The left-over paperboard clippings, called confetti, need to be evacu- ated from the machine. However, this evacuation process has proven to cause problems due to jams arising as the confetti get stuck in joints and along the pipe walls. This study investigates how the confetti behave, defo
As in many parts of the world, state response to COVID-19 in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) has included far-reaching measures such as restrictions of movement and the closure of schools, businesses and borders. The response has in itself caused substantive secondary impact to people’s health, well-being and livelihoods, which has in turn exacerbated preexisting vulnerabilities and gen
Modern healthcare strive for efficiency by implementing fast-track programmes to optimize postoperative recovery. When forming new health care interventions, it is important to consider the patient perspective. Breast cancer patients in Sweden are treated according to a standardized care plan to optimize postoperative recovery. Previous studies indicate that women of different age groups experienc
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly recognized as a key enabler in discovering scientific knowledge. Due to the current momentum, researchers from various fields try to incorporate AI to their research work. However, research to be truly identified as scientific research it requires to bring in new knowledge adhering to a scientific method. This study attempts to explore how AI affe
In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between R&D investment and strategy on firm performance for two automotive firms—Renault and BMW. This research was selected to explore the relatively undiscovered area of R&D expenditures and strategy as crucial determinants of firm performance. A mixed-method case study with a deductive research approach was chosen. The results
Members of three competitive basketball teams (N = 34, male: 14, female: 20, Mage = 17.94, SDage = 2.07) were observed in a within subject-design to reveal the relationships between the leaders’ expressed emotions, the followers’ emotions, and the followers’ performance with an attempt to provide practical implications and further details to the relevant theories. The leaders showed three differen
Titel: Tipping or Stiffing? - En kvalitativ studie om dricks i turistnäringen utifrån ett kundperspektiv. Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Service Management, VT 2018. Institution: Institutionen för Service Management vid Lunds universitet, Campus Helsingborg. Författare: Cassandra Darwiche och Johanna Månsson. Handledare: Johan Hultman. Problemområde: Dricks är en betydande ekonomisk aktivitet som är lös
Today, many cities around the world are looking for means to reduce their consumption-originated emissions and in this way improve their sustainability. Consequently, local governments are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of the ‘sharing economy’ (SE). By enabling the consumption of resources and services through sharing as opposed to purchasing goods for ownership, urban sharing
With many people not really understanding what the European Union is and how it works the EU is left to fight a lack of interest, identification and participation. The present thesis approaches the problem by looking at the linguistic and rhetorical device of metaphors as a popular means of creating understanding by explaining a complex topic in a transferred way. Numerous metaphors exist in EU di
This study aims to analyse how the Swedish media has been framing the Gállok case and the events surrounding it. Moreover, it seeks to understand which meaning is attributed to the concept of Sámi customary law within the Gállok process and decision-makings. This is done through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. They study is based on a theoretical framework that has its starting point in
The old caravan trade routes across the Sahara Desert largely fell out of use decades before the beginning of the 20th century. The route from Kano to Tripoli however remained active and continued to transport a significant volume of exports and regional trade well into the 20th century. This thesis investigates the resilience and downfall of this trade route against a backdrop of the European ‘Sc
Regulatory competition is a competitive process through which the jurisdictionss within a decentralized area develops and adapts to the market demands of that area. EU’s Single market is such decentralized area in the field of company legislation. Any EU citizen may establish a company in any Member State and as a consequence a race between the different national jurisdictions in the EU can emerge
Over the last century, large-scale water megaprojects have become a globally widespread method of addressing water scarcity by moving water from areas of water surplus to deficit. The U.S. state of California is a megaproject pioneer, having constructed two infrastructural systems in the mid-1900s that transfer water as far as 640 kilometers to satisfy agricultural and urban growth. While these pr
In today’s digital age, maintaining privacy is challenging as individuals often disclose personal information unwillingly. This discrepancy, known as the 'privacy paradox,' highlights the gap between privacy concerns and actual data-sharing behavior (Alashoor et al., 2022). Despite extensive research, there is limited understanding of how hedonistic and utilitarian motivations influence co
The current work aims to investigate the impact of angular momentum in galaxy formation especially in the coevolution of the stellar central density (Σ⋆,1.2kpc) and total stellar mass (M⋆). This is achieved by tracing the histories of three simulated halos where the specific angular momentum is altered by modifying the initial conditions of the Lagrangian patch of baryons. The analysis consists of
The release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from inland waters plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Yet, there are uncertainties related to estimating riverine CO2 evasion (FCO2), especially in data scarce regions such as the Tibetan Plateau. It is unclear how global change in the form of climate warming and anthropogenic disturbance affects emissions. This study reports annual CO2 fluxes a
