This research characterized the barrier properties and transport mechanisms of multilayer films comprising polylactide (PLA), chitosan, and nanocelluloses extracted from agricultural by-products. The investigation employed complementary analytical techniques to evaluate water vapor and oxygen transport behavior, comparing cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from cor

This study examines how youth leaders in peace projects in Ethiopia develop through their engagement. Based on six weeks of fieldwork across three peace projects in Addis Ababa, Jimma and Hawassa, the study takes a strength-based perspective of the leaders and asks how the peace-project engagement serve developing.

Folding is an essential step in the manufacturing of paperboard packaging materials.In order to get nice folds with no cracks the paperboard lamina is creased in predetermined patterns. The act of creasing introduces delamination, which locally weakens the material. The creasing operation thus changes the local material characteristics of the paperboard, characteristics which parameters are hard t

After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict. As this also coincided with a rise of mass communications and increased education more people than e

In-work poverty is a societal problem that should be prevented according to the European Pillars of Social Rights. However, the European Social Fund Plus, being the main European social policy, only addresses the issue indirectly. The aim of this thesis is to build an explanation for this partial actuation of the European Union. By adopting an abductive approach, a process-tracing is conducted to

Background: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is generally associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elderly and obese subjects may be particularly susceptible, although short-term effects are poorly described. Methods: Sixty healthy subjects 25 males, 35 females, age 55 to 83 years, body mass index > 25 kg/m(2)) were included in a cross-over study with 5 hours of

BACKGROUND: Frequent hyperglycemic episodes are increasingly being associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: We studied the extent to which acute glycemia and glycemia after subsequent meals can be modulated by the characteristics of cereal foods, such as glycemic index (GI) and content of indigestible carbohydrates. DESIGN: Twelve healthy subjects

Transport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)

Large-scale developments changed a society with relatively little gender equality in the late nineteenth century to the egalitarian welfare state that we know today. Using personally-collected data at the Swedish county-level, a measure of gender equality - t

I slutet av 90-talet utvecklades produkten korslimmat trä, KL-trä. Framtagningen av KL-trä var ett projekt för att framställa ett byggnadsmaterial med avseende att kunna konkurrera med betongindustrin och därigenom bidra till en lägre miljöpåverkan, då trä har en låg påverkan på miljön i förhållande till många andra konstruktionsmaterial. KL-träelement är vanligtvis konstruerade som plattor och haIn the late 1990s cross-laminated timber (CLT) was developed. The development of CLT was a project aimed to produce a structural product that could compete with the concrete industry and contribute to a reduced effect on the environment, due to the low environmental impact of timber in relation to other building materials. CLT elements are usually constructed as panels which contain multiple layer

Background-The prognostic impact of ECG left ventricular strain and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in asymptomatic aortic stenosis is not well described. Methods and Results-Data were obtained in asymptomatic patients randomized to simvastatin/ezetimibe combination versus placebo in the Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis (SEAS) study. Primary end point was the first of myocardial inf

Due to intercultural encounters becoming more and more frequent in times of globalization, the importance of successful intercultural conflict management has increased. In intercultural conflict, cultural differences in conflict management styles (CMS) can lead to misunderstandings and poorer negotiation outcomes.

Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base

Abstract Through the concept of discourse we understand how the reality in one domain is constructed through linguistic combinations, where each of the signs receives its meaning in relation to one another . In the following essay I analyze, through Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, how the Sweden Democrats is trying to frame and establish their political discourse on immigration in the Swed
