The importance of weather for tourism is now widely recognized. However, no research has so far addressed weather events from retrospective viewpoints, and, in particular, the role of “extreme” events in longer-term holiday memories. To better understand the character of ex post weather experiences and their importance in destination image perceptions and future travel planning behavior, this expl
Biotic homogenization, a de facto symptom of a global biodiversity crisis, underscores the urgency of reforming water resources management to focus on the health and viability of ecosystems. Global population and economic growth, coupled with inadequate investment in maintenance of ecological systems, threaten to degrade environmental integrity and ecosystem services that support the global socioe
BACKGROUND: We compared the association of levosimendan or dobutamine with norepinephrine for the maintenance of systemic and hepatosplanchnic perfusion during early endotoxemic shock. METHODS: Twenty anesthetized pigs (26.8 +/- 0.5 kg) were instrumented with flow probes and catheters to monitor systemic and regional perfusion as described in our companion article in this issue of the journal. Two
Resin adsorption is an effective technology for the fermentable sugar slurry detoxification in lignocellulosic biorefinery, but with the great limitation of the loss of resin capacity from inhibitor contamination and the extensive use of acid and base solutions for their regeneration. In this study, we developed a green and practical method with ultrasound assisting the depletion of poisoned resin
Our purpose was to investigate the schools and the social welfare´s experiences of Roman children´s school situation in a Scanian town. We have done a qualitative investigation, interviewing 14 persons from both school and social welfare. Through the interviews we wanted to find the factors which influences the Roman pupils schooling and which efforts the professionals has to their disposition to
The purpose of this study was to examine the professionals´ views concerning self-harm behaviour in adolescents they meet. We interviewed nine different professionals. Our questions were: What do the professionals believe are the reasons to self-harm? How do the professionals experience self esteem and identity in adolescents with self-harm behaviour? How do the professionals look at the self-harm
Den offentliga sektorn i Sverige har under de senaste decennierna påverkats av stora reformvågor. De bakomliggande idéströmningarna har kommit att gå under samlingsnamnet New Public Management där ekonomiska värden starkt betonas. Man menar att det inte bör göras någon skillnad mellan privata företag och offentliga organisationer i valet av organisationsstruktur och förspråkar att den offentliga s
Ett alternativ till att investera i ett traditionellt inhouse-system är att hyra en tjänst eller ett system av en tredje part. Detta fenomen kallas för Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS kan enligt litteraturen bidra med fördelar för företag i form av kostnadsbesparingar och korta implementeringstider. Men det finns också kritiker till SaaS som menar att det kan medföra säkerhetsbrister och minska
Uppsatsen behandlar utifrån en observationsstudie mässor och det mässlandskap som finns utformat under evenemangen med utgångspunkt i Bitners (1992) servicelandskap. Där finns tre parter, arrangörer, utställare och besökare, som ska interagera med varandra i en temporär miljö. Arrangörerna kan endast till viss grad styra hur utställarna har möjlighet att agera. Besökarna interagerar främst med utsThis essay discusses trade fairs and the landscape which is built during the event based on Bitners (1992) servicescape. From our observational study we have discovered that there are three parties involved which will interact with each other in a temporary environment; organisers, exhibitors and visitors. The organisers can only control how the exhibitors interact with the visitors to a certain e
Bakgrund: UNFPA är en underorganisation till Förenta Nationerna (FN). UNFPA fokuserar på populations- och utvecklingsstrategier och jämlikhet mellan könen. I mars 2005 bestämdes det i UNDP/UNFPAs styrelse att UNFPAs inköpsavdelning (PSB) skulle behöva förbättras om de skulle nå upp till sina mål. Flera studier har genomförts och resultatet av dessa visade bland annat på en rekommendation att införBackground: UNFPA is a subsidiary organ to the United Nations (UN) with a primary focus on population and development strategies, sexual and reproductive health and gender equality. In March 2005 the UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board had realized that for the UNFPA Procurement Services Branch (PSB) to operate in line with its mission, focus would need to be directed specifically towards improvements in t
Intersectionality is becoming an increasingly important concept within gender research, emphasizing that social inequalities should be seen in the light of other identities than gender alone. The theoretical perspective, suggesting that identities interact and shape people’s experiences and power positions, has also gained ground within the international community and development sphere. However,
The no-supply rule provided for in Article 19 and 29 of the Directive constitutes a deviation from the system of VAT. It enables Member States to consider that no supply of goods or services has taken place in the event of a transfer of a totality of assets or part thereof. Although the practice of the Court of Justice sheds light on some issues relating to the transfer of business (what exactly t
Samhället har förändrats från att ha varit ett produktionssamhälle till att numera vara ett konsumtionssamhälle med tjänsteföretag som erbjuder alltfler finansieringsmedel för sina kunders köp. I och med krediternas framväxt har kunderna fått möjligheten att kunna konsumera över sina finansiella tillgångar. Krediter är i dagens samhälle en service tjänsteföretag erbjuder sina kunder i konsumtionsp
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves. TheMangrove ecosystems have the potential to provide a host of ecosystem services to the communities surrounding them. Dense, healthy, networks of mangroves are able to provide a buffer to coastlines against the increasingly frequent and intense storms, expected under the influence of climate change. Additionally, healthy, mangrove ecosystem provide coastal communities with other benefits such as mor
Due to COVID-19 and the penetration of OTT services, the cinema industry is suffering from audience loss. With this contextual change, the question of whether the cinema industry will survive is constantly rising. As motivation is known as the driving force for behaviour, this thesis focuses on the audiences who still visit the cinema and explore their motivations for cinema attendance to find wha
Critical infrastructure is essential for a functioning society because of the services and goods they provide. Within these infrastructures there are several departments whose functionality is critical to society and when exposed to stress can lead to societal consequences. Therefore, it is important for the department within the critical infrastructure to have a solid crisis and continuity prepar
By partly replacing the use of primary energy sources with waste heat recovery, climate and environmental goals for the future will be closer at hand. This thesis investigates the waste heat potential of Alfa Laval's vacuum brazing furnaces in Ronneby and alternative ways of integrating the furnace's waste heat into the building's HVAC system. The main challenge was the low-temperatur
Since the tax reform of 1990 the Swedish tax system separates earned income and capital income. On earned income such as "income from business" taxes and fees leads to a total margin tax burden that vary between 45 and 75 %. This margin effect can be compared to the 30 % proportional income tax on capital income. The allocation of income to earned income or capital income is therefore an important
We report on a single-molecule readout scheme on total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) demonstrating a detection limit in the low fM regime for short (30-mer) unlabeled DNA strands. Detection of unlabeled DNA targets is accomplished by letting them mediate the binding of suspended fluorescently labeled DNA-modified small unilamellar vesicles (Ø approximately 100 nm) to a DNA-mo
