High-pressure homogenizers are often used in tomato juice production to fragment tomato cells, to increase viscosity. Compared to emulsification, little is known about the mechanism of cell breakup in general and of vegetable cell breakup in particular. The objective of this contribution is to extend the mechanistic understanding of vegetable cell breakup in homogenizers, using a research methodol
Importance: Associations between putative risk factors and psychiatric and substance use disorders are widespread in the literature. Basing prevention efforts on such findings is hazardous. Applying causal inference methods, while challenging, is central to developing realistic and potentially actionable etiologic models for psychopathology. Observations: Causal methods can be divided into randomi
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore warehouse configuration in omni-channel retailing. Design/methodology/approach: A multiple case study is conducted with six large omni-channel retailers from three different sectors. Findings: The study shows an increase in the number, variation and frequency of flows passing through omni-channel warehouses. Along with an increased variety of stock
A load frame for in situ mechanical testing is developed for the microtomography end stations at the imaging beamline P05 and the high-energy material science beamline P07 of PETRA III at DESY, both operated by the Helmholtz- Zentrum Geesthacht. The load frame is fully integrated into the beamline control system and can be controlled via a feedback loop. All relevant parameters (load, displacement
This paper describes the development and application of a multi-criteria decision model to support stakeholder management in city logistics by prioritising among the diversity of stakeholders' goals. The decision model was applied and tested in a longitudinal case study of a city logistics initiative in Sweden with ten stakeholders. The data were collected included semi-structured interviews and s
Only very recently has the concept of circular economy gained momentum in the public sphere, and inspired consequent research. Within the field of built environment, the debate is even more nascent. This study aims at developing the definition of circular economy specifically for the purposes of the real estate sector. A definition of circular economy in real estate, is derived from the results of
Aim: The aim of the study was to determine whether paediatric ataxia speech subscores are reliably applicable for international early-onset ataxia (EOA) databases. If so, we reasoned that ataxia speech subscores should be associated with ataxia scores and involve high interobserver agreement, including those for internationally applicable Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) syllable r
Relational thinking has recently gained increasing prominence across academic disciplines in an attempt to understand complex phenomena in terms of constitutive processes and relations. Interdisciplinary fields of study, such as science and technology studies (STS), the environmental humanities, and the posthumanities, for example, have started to reformulate academic understanding of nature-cultu
Many industries have benefited from modularisation; while in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, the concept of modularisation is associated with dimensional coordination. This has added to an already extensive list of challenges due to market size and the concept of economies of scale in AEC industry, to name but a few. Moreover, there is a myth that the AEC industry is
The response of floating pile foundations in deep deposits of soft clay is governed by the settlements within the clay deposit surrounding the piles. A long-duration thermal response test (TRT) has been performed to assess the impact of heating and cooling on the geotechnical performance of a vertically loaded slender tubular steel pile in a deep deposit of sensitive clay. The results from the ins
Background: Anal cancer is a rare disease, which might be the reason for the "one size fits all" approach still used for radiotherapy target contouring. To refine and individualize future guidelines, detailed and contemporary pattern of recurrence studies are needed. Methods: Consecutive anal cancer patients, all treated with curative intent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), were retrospect
The purpose of the study is to identify and explore different applications of blockchain technology in supply chain management and suggest a framework for their analysis. The study addresses researchers' conflicting opinions regarding the hype of blockchain and clarifies which minor applications are hyped and which are currently more applicable. That helps supply chain practitioners appraise the d
ObjectivesTo describe the process and results of the updated Swedish practice guidelines for monotherapy in epilepsy.Materials and MethodsThe Swedish Medical Products Agency led the process together with medical experts. Evidence rating in accordance with the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) template was linked to the Cochrane group's GRADE system. Evidence from recently published tria
This article concerns the societal history of potato knowledge in early modern Sweden. Focusing on the communication process, it analyses when, how, why, and which type of knowledge of the potato was communicated and ultimately experienced a societal breakthrough in early modern Sweden. The article shows that knowledge of the potato was transformed as it crossed social, spatial, and media boundari
This thesis shows how globalization creates disenfranchisment. Through a world-system perspective and an alternate view on globalization as social reproduction, it explores how people get disenfranchised by exposing the relationship between psychosocial expression and politico-economic structures. Disenfranchisment is regarded on a deeper ontological level than mere loss of the possiblity to affec
Syftet med denna examensuppsats är att analysera konkurrensbegränsande klausuler i anställningsavtal och se hur dessa används i Sverige och i Storbritannien. Jag avser att göra en komparativ analys mellan de två jurisdiktionerna för att se hur användandet av sådana klausuler skiljer sig samt i vilken utsträckning användandet är lika. Studien är begränsad till klausuler som rör förhållanden efter aThe purpose with this thesis is to analyse restrictive covenants in employment contracts and see how they are used in Sweden and in Britain. I aim to do a comparative analysis between the two jurisdictions to see how the use of such covenants differs and is similar. The study is confined to covenants, which concern circumstances after the term of employment. I will focus on the use of non-compete
