The paper is concerned with the existence of objective uncertainties. What would it take for objective uncertainties to exist, and what would be the consequences for our understanding of the world we live in? We approach these questions by considering two common theories on how we are to understand the being of propensities and how it pertains to possible outcomes that remain unmanifested. It is a
The main goal of this paper is to derive a method for a daily gross primary production (GPP) product over Europe and Africa taking the full advantage of the SEVIRI/MSG satellite products from the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) sensors delivered from the Satellite Application Facility for Land Surface Analysis (LSA SAF) system. Special attention i
The latent heat flux (LE) between the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere is a major driver of the global hydrological cycle. In this study, we evaluated LE simulations by 45 general circulation models (GCMs) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) by a comparison with eddy covariance (EC) observations from 240 globally distributed sites from 2000 to 2009. In addition, we imp
The purpose of this research is to explore how a stakeholder interaction perspective can add to the understanding of the dynamics of the process of corporate social responsibility (CSR) development in retail buyer–supplier relationships. Firstly, we find that interaction with suppliers and other stakeholders seems to have a pivotal role in the development towards sustainable retail supply chains.
Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e
THE DISPLACEMENT rate is given for a mode III crack growing in a steady state under dynamic conditions. The material is assumed to be visco-plastic and high strain rates are considered. A regular perturbation expansion is performed. First-order perturbing strains are, with one exception. square root singular near the crack-tip. For overstress exponents less. or equal to 2, a reasonably large regio
Zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry because of their high strength, good corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section. Zirconium has a strong affinity for hydrogen, however, and if hydrogen concentration builds up, the material will gradually degrade. In one class of such hydrogen caused degradation, called hydride induced embrittlement, hydrogen chemically re
Insurance companies manually find replacements for thousands of products every day. Can a machine replace the manual labor while remaining faithful to the consumers’ desires?
Föroreningssituationen i Skurups dagvattensystem Regn- och avrinnande vatten, så kallat dagvatten riskerar att förorena vattendrag, mark och grundvatten med dagens separerade avrinningssystem som oftast leder direkt till recipient utan behandling. Tungmetaller är några av dessa föroreningar som undersöktes i Skurups stads dagvattensystem. På alla undersökta platser kunde tungmetaller återfinnas meThis study investigate the pollution levels (heavy metals) in Skurups city’s storm watersystem. Rain and runoff water (storm water) can be polluted and pose an environmental problem because it rarely gets purified on the way to our waterways. To find the various outlets where storm water reaches waterways, Skurups urban storm water systems were mapped. The city’s different businesses inside indust
En liten molekyl med en stor uppgift Alla människor ser olika ut, vi har olika hårfärg, är olika långa och har olika hudfärg. Har du någonsin undrat vad det är som gör dig till dig? Svaret är till stor del dina gener. Vi består av celler och varje cell i din kropp har alla dina gener som behövs för att skapa dig. Man kan likna en gen vid ett recept som cellen använder för att veta hur den ska tiHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga
Ecological rehabilitation projects - as a form of reforestation interventions - are increasing worldwide and present an opportunity for climate change mitigation and supporting local livelihoods. Implemented in post-conflict situations, they are increasingly promoted as solutions for peace. Aiming at understanding their contributions to sustainability and peacebuilding, I examine proposed rehabili
Title: What is the role of pop-up stores in a multichannel environment? A study on understanding how pop-up stores affect the experience that customers receive and the relationship they share with retail brands. Supervisor: Ulf Elg Examiner: Ulf Johansson Thesis purpose: The present study aims to investigate the role of the pop-up stores of retailers on the customer experience in a multichannel
Barn som upplever våld i hemmet har innan 2021 inte haft ett straffrättsligt skydd i svensk lag. Det finns studier som visar att var tionde barn i Sverige någon gång har upplevt våld mellan närstående. Situationen där vuxna utövar våld i vad som ska vara barnets tryggaste zon, kan ge förödande konsekvenser, både fysiskt som psykiskt. Den 14 juni 2018 beslutade regeringen att tillsätta en särskildBefore 2021, children who experience violence in their homes have not had criminal protection in Swedish law. There are studies that show that every tenth child in Sweden has ever experienced violence between relatives. The situation where adults use violence, in what should be the child's safest zone, can have devastating consequences, both physically and mentally. On 14 June 2018, the govern
This master's thesis investigates both custom lossless compression and high-quality lossy compression of microscopy images of white blood cells produced by CellaVision's blood analysis systems. A number of different compression strategies have been developed and evaluated, all of which are taking advantage of the specific color filter array used in the sensor in the cameras in the analysis
Abstract in UndeterminedThe point of departure in my story is the contrast between two models of democratic voting process: popular democracy and what might be called committee democracy. On one interpretation, voting in popular democracy is a procedure whose function is to aggregate the individuals’ preferences to something like a collective preference, while in committee democracy what is being
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka återförsäljares uppsägningsskydd och rätt till ersättning vid avtalets upphörande. För ett företag som önskar etablera sig på en ny marknad gäller det att välja rätt exploateringsmetod. Ett alternativ är då att utse en representant som säljer produkten på den nya marknaden. En lokal representant som känner till marknaden och eventuellt redan har ett etablerat försThe purpose of this essay is to examine the retailer’s dismissal protection and the right to compensation for termination of contract. For a company who wishes to establish themselves in a new market it is important to choose the right development approach. An alternative is then to appoint a representative who sells the product in the new market. A local representative who knows the market and po
