For developing and implementing innovations that improve a firm's environmental performance ('eco-innovation'), external knowledge and technologies, and hence the openness of a firm, are crucial. This paper analyses the factors that drive eco-innovation in firms, drawing special attention to the firm's ability to implement new ways of working within the organisation ('workplace innovation'). Based
Blood biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, offering advantages over CSF and PET due to their accessibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness. This study evaluated the effectiveness of individual plasma biomarkers, such as phosphorylated Tau (pTau) 217, as well as biomarker combinations, with a focus on the pTau 217/β-Amyloid (Aβ) 1–42 ratio to predict amy
PurposeIn the transformation to the circular economy, circular logistics nodes are becoming increasingly important to, for example, match supply and demand, coordinate flows, increase logistics efficiency and customer utility, and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this study is to expand our theoretical understanding of the circular retail transformation and its implications for circular
The healthcare systems of today are facing large challenges, with increasing amounts of patients and overworked hospital staff. Prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most prevalent diseases, with incidence numbers expected to rise over the coming decade. Medical imaging plays a central role in current diagnostic procedures for these diseases, enabling the potential use of machine-
The rise of solo living presents significant social and environmental challenges, particularly in high-income countries like Denmark where nearly half of households are single occupancy. This study explores the social dynamics driving the trend towards living alone through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals living alone in Denmark. Pathways to solo living include urban relocation, aging out o
As some insect groups are declining at alarming rates, accurate and automated insect monitoring is needed to prioritize habitats for conservation. The dual-band entomological Scheimpflug lidar technique is a promising candidate method for real-time insect monitoring: it allows the detection of thousands of flying insects per day at high temporal and spatial resolutions. The signals contain a pleth
Light extinction is widely used to study particles in sprays, soot-forming combustion, and multiphase reactive flows. However, quantitative interpretation of extinction signals remains challenging when particles have a sufficiently large scattering albedo, meaning that incident photons are scattered much more than they are absorbed. This is especially true when experiments involve large apertures
We present PyeLink and SyeLink, two complementary open-source Python tools for running eye-tracking experiments and parsing data from SR Research Ltd. EyeLink eye tracking hardware. PyeLink simplifies experiment creation through plug-and-play support for multiple display backends (Pygame, PsychoPy, Pyglet) while enabling two features not available in existing tools: recording data during calibrati
Title Factors for success : a study of school libraries at compulsory schools and how to integrate them in the education Abstract This Master's thesis aims to identify success factors for the integration of school libraries in the education. The search for factors are concentrated to three areas: control documents for the school and school library, the Principal and organisation and the col
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geografiska informationssystem på internet är ett relativt nytt fenomen som främst har utvecklats från ett behov att distribuera geografisk data, dvs utbyte av digitala geografiska data och tillhörande tjänster. Men det är även ett kraftfullt verktyg för att presentera information på internet. Detta examensarbete i naturgeografi syftar till att skapa en webbaGIS on the Internet is a rather new phenomenon, which has evolved from the need of distributed geographical data. It is also a powerful tool for presenting information on the Internet. This master thesis aim to create a web based GIS application with information on lime spreading and the situation concerning acidification in the county of Kronoberg, Sweden. The web based GIS application will be us
Bakgrund/Frågeställning: Den nynazistiska grupperingen Nationalsocialistisk Front var i slutet av 1990-talet mycket aktiv i Karlskrona kommun i Blekinge. Kommunen svarade genom att lansera ett program man kallade "att visa demokratins muskler" för att bekämpa grupperingen. Detta arbete gick ut på att kommunen genom tillämpning av den befintliga lagstiftningen ville försvåra för nynaziste
The purpose of this essay ("Gateway to the Past. An archaeological quality controlled subject gateway as a resource for higher education in Lund") is to examine how a quality controlled subject gateway could increase the quality of the information supply for the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University. The essay gives a brief background to subject gateways and al
The purpose of the following thesis has been to study librarians' attitudes towards comics for grown up people. I have compared the attitudes among the staff in two public libraries in Sweden, Malmö public library and Lund public library. I have conducted five interviews with librarians and observed how the comics are handled in each library. I have also carried out a literary study of the his
The aim of this thesis is to explore the job satisfaction of librarians and try to nuance stereotypes, which the public has and which still exist in massmedia concerning librarians and their work. The study is qualitative and based mainly on semistructured interviews with ten libraries born between 1937s and 1973s of which eight are women and two men. Furthermore, I have divided them into two grou
The main purpose of this Master´s thesis, is to describe and discuss what constitutes the library collaboration between The Swedish Royal Library and the National Library of Guatemala, but also to analyse which effects the support has for public library work in Guatemala. The data consists of interviews and direct-observations during 2 months of fieldwork in Guatemala, Central America. The analysi
I denna studie har vi ur ett intressentperspektiv undersökt vem som tjänar på offentliga e-tjänster. Syftet med studien var att tydliggöra olika intressenters nytta av offentliga e-tjänster och visa på den påverkan som dessa har för olika intressenter. Detta gjordes med hjälp av en kvalitativ studie, som främst bestod av intervjuer med intressenter för barnomsorgse-tjänster i Simrishamns kommun. N
I ett klimat med kraftigt stigande fastighetspriser, rekordhög hushållsskuldsättning och sjunkande räntemarginaler för hypoteksbolagen ter sig en analys av potentiella kreditförluster för hypoteksbolagen som tämligen aktuell. Denna kandidatuppsats syftar till att studera hypoteksbolagens kreditrisk för utlåning till privatpersoner med bostäder som säkerhet. Analysen genomförs genom studier av utve
