Bakgrund Hållbarhet är ett koncept som har fått uppmärksamhet och som har gått från att vara ett ”modeord” till något som är integrerat i de flesta företags strategi. Författarna är intresserade av hur affärsmöjligheter kan bli utvärderade från ett hållbarhetsperspektiv och hur hållbara produkter kan skapa ett marknadsvärde. Företaget, som är verksamma inom kemi industrin, är intresserade av att k
Little is known about perioperative microcirculatory changes during major abdominal surgery, and the main objectives of this study were to evaluate perioperative microcirculatory alterations in this setting, and if changes in microcirculatory parameters are associated with post-operative morbidity and/or with changes in parameters reflecting oxygen delivery.
Age-related misfolding and aggregation of disease-linked proteins in selective brain regions is a characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Although neuropathological aggregates that characterize these various diseases are found at sites other than synapses, increasing evidence supports the idea that synapses are where the pathogenesis begins. Understanding these diseases is hampered by our la
The droplet aerosol analyzer (DAA) was developed to study the influence of aerosol properties on clouds. It measures the ambient particle size of individual droplets and interstitial particles, the size of the dry (residual) particles after the evaporation of water vapor and the number concentration of the dry (residual) particles. A method was developed for the evaluation of DAA data to obtain th
The dissolution and swelling properties of montmorillonite at different pH have been studied, using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), imaging and osmotic stress methods combined with Monte Carlo simulations. The acidity of montmorillonite dispersions has been varied as well as the counterions to the net negatively charged platelets. At low pH, Na montmorillonite dissolves and among other specie
A series of nine radiocarbon measurements obtained at increments of 50 years was used to wiggle match varved sediments in Lake Kalksjon (west central Sweden) to the calendar year time scale provided by the tree-ring-derived radiocarbon calibration curve. The anchor point for a series of 400 varves known to span the '8.2 kyr cold event' was derived from a combination of correlation analysis, Monte
This paper explores the geography and structure of global innovation networks (GINs) of two multinational companies belonging to industries with different knowledge bases. It contributes to the existing literature on knowledge bases, by studying both intra-firm and inter-firm GINs. By means of social network analysis based on primary data, we identify two different forms of GINs, namely the global
This proposal addresses the problematic of heritage in the making and how the digital engages in museum practices. Questioning reconstructions of the past, and the ways in which material culture and museums are used, to support heritage discourses. It concerns the ability of Chinese digital museums, to turn the past into present. Inspired by Foucault, this research, questions whether digital is ma
The present master thesis was performed in cooperation with the company “Aventure AB”. The company’s R&D department envisioned a new yoghurt-based product able to decrease the blood glucose levels after a meal. The innovative characteristic of the product is due to the diet fibers of the barley grain, which is going to be incorporated inside the yoghurt. The preliminary experiments which were
This article explores work clothes as a site for negotiations of gender in relation to expertise in retail. Pointing to the importance of studying dress for the understanding of contemporary labor processes, the purpose of the article is to understand cultural and gendered meanings of work clothes by analyzing how workers handle expectations of their appearances. Based on qualitative methods and i
Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) interact with the Earth’s atmosphere to produce energetic neutrons and cosmogenic radionuclides, such as 14C. The atmosphere is partially shielded from the interstellar GCR spectrum by both the geomagnetic and solar magnetic fields. Solar shielding is often expressed as the heliospheric modulation potential ϕ, which consolidates information about the strength and struct
Purpose – This paper aims to extend insights about the relationship between inter-organizational collaboration and approaches to control from the perspective of decision-makers. We investigate the relationship between approaches to control and intended forms of integration between actors responsible for solving the complex problem of integrated person-centered care for elderly with diverse and sig
Sub-Neptunes with radii of 2-3 R ⊕ are intermediate in size between rocky planets and Neptune-sized planets. The orbital properties and bulk compositions of transiting sub-Neptunes provide clues to the formation and evolution of close-in small planets. In this paper, we present the discovery and follow-up of four sub-Neptunes orbiting M dwarfs (TOI-782, TOI-1448, TOI-2120, and TOI-2406), three of
Opsin-like immunoreactivity was observed in the retinae and pineal organs of the mouse, rat and guinea pig, and the pineal organ of the cat. In the retina the immunoreaction was restricted to photoreceptor cells, which displayed immunostaining in their perikarya and outer and inner segments. Distinct pinealocytes endowed with characteristic processes were labelled in the pineal organs of the mouse
Music education research in Sweden and across the Nordic countries has investigated questions of cultural diversity in music education for several decades. Greater cultural diversity in music education has also been a longstanding curricular goal. While interest in broadening cultural diversity in music education has been high, the extent to which these aspirations have impacted singing repertoire
This Letter presents measurements of long-range transverse-momentum correlations using a new observable, v0(pT), serving as a probe of event-by-event radial-flow fluctuations, the underlying radial expansion, and the medium's properties in heavy-ion collisions. Results are reported for inclusive charged particles, pions, kaons, and protons across various centrality intervals in Pb-Pb collisions at
BACKGROUND: Accreditation of cancer centres aims to deliver high-quality, person-centered care and underscores the integration with education, research, and innovation. Over the past decade, cancer centres in the Nordic countries have engaged in accreditation processes through the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI).OBJECTIVE: This study provides an overview of a rapidly evolving lan
