The society is constantly changing because of the globalization and the requirements of specialization increases. In regional growth policies regional expansion is advocated as a mean of increasing economic growth. Increased mobility is a prerequisite for regional expansion, something that conflicts with established climate and transport policy objectives. This essay examines how municipalities in
Post-Materialism is a theory introduced in the 1970's. Post-Materialism is set of values that is stated to have changed, foremost in industrial countries. This shift in values is predicted to lead to changes in attitudes, actions and the social structure, because those who prioritize Post-Materialist values are suggested to think and identify themselves differently. In this thesis, changes in
The objective of this thesis is the integration of the TRIZ-method (Altshuller) and the AAK-method (Roth)into the industrial design engineering process model and the validation of the integration by the industril design engineering project "Conceptual design of an armchair for elderly people".
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på ifall man kan tala om ett oberoendekrav på styrelseledamöter i svenska börsbolag utifrån aktiebolagslagen och Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning. Jag har valt att använda mig att rättskälleläran med inslag av rättsvetenskaplig metod. De klassiska rättskällorna lag, förarbeten och doktrin har legat till grund för uppsatsen, kompletterat
Under våren och sommaren 2012 rasade i Sveriges kulturmedier klasshatsdebatten, sedan poeten Johan Jönson läst upp en av sina dikter på Dramaten. Vänsterdebattörerna uppträdde med stor teoretisk variation: här blandades Lenin, Foucault och Branting. Uppsatsen undersöker om dikten (och dess uppläsning) tillsammans med sina publicerade reaktioner sa någonting om ambivalensen inom dagens vänster. Fok
I samband med Ädelreformen öppnades möjligheter att införa Medicinskt ansvarig för rehabilitering (MAR) i den kommunala hälso- och sjukvården. Kunskapen om hur MAR påverkade arbetsterapeuter i deras arbete var outforskad. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuter upplevde att MAR påverkade deras arbete och yrkesroll. Studien hade en kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervj
Abstract Customer demands for board adapted for their specific needs make a flexible production with many different qualities advantageous. The board quality changes can include a change in the composition or only a change in grammage. A grade change is a product quality change in a paper or board machine. Grade changes may however cause problems in the production. When changing the production fro
At Haväng in eastern Scania, South Sweden, an underwater landscape occurs on the seabed. The landscape consists of deep-rooted pines standing in organic deposits. Due to sea level changes, the area was exposed during two phases (11,700 to 10,700 and 10,000 to 8,500 years ago) so that pines could live there, to subsequently drown and end up submerged. This study aims to show how the Baltic Sea form
Background: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), a complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), is linked to cerebral vasospasm and associated with poor long-term outcome. We implemented a structured cerebral microdialysis (CMD) based protocol using the lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR) as an indicator of the cerebral energy metabolic status in the neurocritical care decision making, using an LPR ≥ 30 as
We present a constructive approach to bounded l2-gain adaptive control with noisy measurements for linear time-invariant scalar systems with uncertain parameters belonging to a finite set. The gain bound refers to the closed-loop system, including the learning procedure. The approach is based on forward dynamic programming to construct a finite-dimensional information state consisting of H-infinit
We investigate the persistance of embedded eigenvalues under perturbations of a certain self-adjoint Schrödinger-type differential operator in L2(R; Rn), with an asymptotically periodic potential. The studied perturbations are small and belong to a certain Banach space with a specified decay rate, in particular, a weighted space of continuous matrix valued functions. Our main result is that the se
This explorative study investigates the emergence of gray zone markets from search engines amidst the global expansion of online markets. With the analytical approach of infrastructural inversion, we examine how the search infrastructure constructs access to a gray zone market including both authorized online pharmacies and unauthorized vendors. Using Sweden and Google Search as a case, we explore
Adipic acid is an industrially important dicarboxylic acid and an essential precursor in the synthesis of Nylon-6,6. Due to the environmental impact associated with the current synthetic methods for Nylon-6,6 production, greener alternatives based on renewable and bio-based feedstocks are needed. In the present study, the potential of two Pseudomonas putida strains engineered for muconic acid
This study analyses seven sufficiency-oriented SMEs in the French fashion sector, categorizing their strategies into efficiency, shift and sufficiency. It reveals the tension in balancing sustainability with financial viability, highlighting the systemic challenges posed by consumer preference for fast fashion.
Over the last few years, we have witnessed a surge in protest movements around the world. As planet Earth shows its vulnerability and a global pandemic has fundamentally recalibrated the textures of our individual and collective lives, a shared concern for survival triggers individuals and groups to contest the status quo and to call for alternative solutions to the pressing issues of our time. Th
Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a rheumatic disorder that causes chronic joint inflammation beginning before the age of 16 years. Pharmacological treatment necessary to prevent joint destruction and functional impairment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intra-articular corticosteroids, conventional synthetic (cs) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (D
