In recent years, the development of meat-and dairy analogues has increased to meet demands from consumers, as well as serving as environmentally beneficial alternatives to meat and dairy. While traditional plant-based diets based on whole-foods have been shown to lead to beneficial health effects, the new analogues differ vastly from the ingredients of a whole foods, plant-based diet and the effec

The date is October 8th, 2022 in Herzogenaurach, Germany. You are a board member of Adidas, a world renowned sportswear brand - a brand which has seen an immense growth over the past decade, growth which has also translated into a record valuation for the company in the stock market. But today is not a day which calls for celebration. One of your key collaborators, a person which you could attribu

This thesis compares how Sweden and Finland’s contrasting exchange rate regimes shaped their export sector performance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While both are small, open Nordic economies, Sweden maintained a floating currency and independent monetary policy, whereas Finland adopted the euro and ceded monetary control to the European Central Bank. The study evaluates export revenue

I en tid när vi ser ett ökande intresse för arbetsflexibilitet, ett större behov av lokalt producerad mat och ett växande intresse för natur och friluftsliv. Samt i ljuset av det, för första gången på överskådlig tid en ökande inflyttning till landsbygden. Med dagens digitala teknologi ges numera större förutsättningar att kunna starta upp nya verksamheter på distans som skulle kunna fungera minst

The popularity of Open Source Software (OSS) has increased the interest in using it in safety critical applications. The aim of this study is to review research carried out on usage of open source code in development of safety-critical software and systems. We conducted a systematic mapping study through searches in library databases and manual identification of articles from open source conferenc

The performance of poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) (PMP)/silica nanocomposites was studied for membranes with a filler content between 10 and 40 wt%. An increase in permeability and a constant vapor selectivity were measured with increasing filler content. The constant selectivity was in contrast to earlier published results for silica filled poly(l-trimethylsilyl-l-propyne) (PTSMP) membranes. Therefore,

Understanding the spatiotemporal distribution of birds is crucial for effective management and conservation of their populations. However, we still have only limited knowledge not only of the wintering destinations of many Iberian breeding migrants but also of aspects as general as the migratory behaviour of the populations of many common avian species that breed in the Iberian highlands. We used

Many medical image analysis systems require segmentation of the structures of interest as a first step. For scans with gross pathology, automatic segmentation methods may fail. The authors' aim is to develop a versatile, fast, and reliable interactive system to segment anatomical structures. In this study, this system was used for segmenting lungs in challenging thoracic computed tomography (CT) s

The study reported in this paper examines foreign accent (FA) in adult simultaneous bilinguals (2L1ers). Specifically, we investigate how accent is affected if a first language is acquired as a minority (heritage) language as compared to a majority (dominant) language. We compare the perceived FA in both languages of 38 adult 2L1ers (German-French and German-Italian) to that of monolingual native

In this bachelor thesis, we appply the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to Waring's problem using Vinogradov's exponential sums approach. On the last section, we focus on the consequeces of the recently proved Vinogradov's mean value theorem.

The globular protein γB-crystallin exhibits a complex phase behavior, where liquid-liquid phase separation characterized by a critical volume fraction ϕc = 0.154 and a critical temperature Tc = 291.8 K coexists with dynamical arrest on all length scales at volume fractions around ϕ ≈ 0.3-0.35, and an arrest line that extends well into the unstable region below the spinodal. However, although the s

There are many benefits offered by integrated enterprise computer systems. There are a growing number of options available to obtain such management information system support. A major problem when selecting Enterprise Information Systems, in special ERP systems, is how to deal with the great diversity of options as well as the number of criteria used to evaluate each alternative. There is an impl

A recapitulation of the history of the the great library of the Bohemian statesman Peter Wok Rosenberg, which after his death entered the Emporor’s treasures in Prague, but was captured by the Swedish Army at the end of the Thirty Years War and brought to Stockholm, where parts still reside in the Royal Library. Its white bindings are a prominent feature of the Rosenberg collection.

I bokens åttonde kapitel relaterar Gregor Noll bokens tema om nya säkerhetshot till den aktuella frågan om EU:s hantering av flyktingar och asylsökande. Kapitlets tes är att EU:s invandrings- och asylpolitik ytterst utgör en protektionistisk ordning med utgångspunkt i nationalstatens kontrollbehov. Noll menar att denna ordning manifesterade sig redan vid unionens tillkomst under femtiotalet. De nu

Colour vision allows animals to use the information contained in the spectrum of light to control important behavioural decisions such as selection of habitats, food or mates. Among arthropods, the largest animal phylum, we find completely colour-blind species as well as species with up to 40 different opsin genes or more than 10 spectral types of photoreceptors, we find a large diversity of optic
