Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today requi

The principal function of a trademark is to give consumers a guarantee of the identity of a market product, by enabling the consumers to distinguish that product from others of a different provenance. In order to make a product stand out in the market place, the industry constantly seeks to invent and use new ways to appeal to customers. Lately, unconventional sensory marks, such as scents have ma
Den ökande internetanvändningen och teknikutvecklingen har lett till en förflyttning av traditionella brott till den digitala miljön. Internet möjliggör kommunikation i en annan utsträckning än tidigare och större möjligheter för sexualförbrytare att kontakta barn i syfte att utsätta dessa för sexuella övergrepp. Digital bevisning avseende elektronisk kommunikation blir ett avgörande inslag i samtThe increasing use of internet and the development of technology has led to the transfer of traditional crimes into the digital environment. The internet enables communication to a different extent than before and greater opportunities for sexual offenders to contact children with the aim of exposing them to sexual abuse. Digital evidence is a crucial element in all investigations of such crimes.
Arsenic is a very potent toxicant. One major susceptibility factor for arsenic-related toxicity is the efficiency of arsenic metabolism. The efficiency, in turn, is associated with non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arsenic methyltransferase AS3MT on chromosome 10q24. However, the mechanism of action for these SNPs is not yet clarified. Here, we assessed the influence of gene
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
Theoretical and empirical research often points to a positive relation between corporate sustainability and organisational performance; however, attempts to conceptualise the multi-dimensional nature of sustainability practices are rare in the current literature. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework to aid in understanding and explaining the relationship between sus

As a consequence of increased knowledge about health and changed social structures, people tend to grow older and the life expectancy on average keeps on getting higher (Hemström, 2012). The life expectancy of half of the girls and boys born in Sweden during 2011, is 93 respective 91 years old. Today, it is more common that people pass away in their own homes or in retirement homes, than in a hosp
Understanding farmer behaviour is needed for local agricultural systems to produce food sustainably while facing multiple pressures. We synthesize existing literature to identify three fundamental questions that correspond to three distinct areas of knowledge necessary to understand farmer behaviour: 1) decision-making model; 2) cross-scale and cross-level pressures; and 3) temporal dynamics. We u
Two important features of the global economy in the last few decades have been the increasing degree of regional economic integration and the increasing volatility of real exchange rates. Due to the EU membership and the single European currency, issues related to regional economic integration and exchange rate changes hold prominence on the business and political agenda in Sweden.

Innan 1994 fanns ingen lagstadgad rätt till personlig assistans. Efter den s.k. Handikapputredningen år 1989 kom ett lagförslag som utmynnade i Lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS). Enligt denna lag skulle de funktionshindrade som hade krävande och omfattande hjälpbehov ha rätt till en personlig assistent. Försäkringskassan blev beslutsmyndighet för att avgöra huruBefore 1994 there was no legal right to a personal assistant in Sweden. After the so-called Handikapputredningen in year 1989, Lag (1993) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS) was instituted.* According to this law, the disabled people who had exigent and extensive needs would have right to a personal assistant. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA) became the agency responsi

Digitalisering av försörjningsstöd har under en tid kommit att diskuteras flitigt till följd av nya och fler implementerade digitala arbetsmetoder. Ändamålet är bland annat att effektivisera ansökan om försörjningsstöd som tidigare handlades av socialarbetare. Även e-tjänster har implementerats på allt fler instanser inom försörjningsstöd och förflyttar därmed en stor del av kommunikationen mellan

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
Filmturism och dess påverkan på destinationer är ett komplext fenomen. Användandet av storytelling på destinationer som är influerade av filmturism har visat på tydliga fördelar för att turister ska återvända till platsen. Storytelling är tillsammans med filmturism utgångspunkten för denna kandidatuppsats. Storytelling inom filmturismsammanhang tillämpas ofta i samband med upplevelser för att belyFilm tourism and its impact on destinations is a complex phenomenon. The use of storytelling on destinations that are influenced by film tourism has shown clear benefits for tourists to return to the place. Storytelling, together with film tourism, is the starting point for this bachelor thesis. Storytelling in the context of film tourism is often applied in the context of experiences to highlight
We have measured the land-atmosphere CO2 exchange using the eddy covariance technique in a high Arctic tundra heath in northeast Greenland (Zackenberg). On the basis of 11 years of measurements (2000-2010), it was found that snow cover dynamics was important for the CO2 exchange. The start of CO2 uptake period correlated significantly with timing of snowmelt. Furthermore, for years with deep and l
