Diploid potato cultivars that are propagated by True Potato Seeds (TPS) are a new potentially revolutionary way of potato breeding. Conventional breeding is based on highly heterozygous tetraploid potato varieties. Diploid potato breeding by TPS is useful to create inbred lines and from there hybrid offspring. TPS is cheaper, has almost no diseases and is easy to distribute. Diploid potatoes have
On 1 April 2015, the EU milk quotas were abolished after 30 years in force. The purpose of this paper is to assess the Intra-Union trade effects of the reform, using the gravity model of trade. In particular, the aim is to find out whether competitive Member States have started to export more dairy products as compared to the non-competitive Member States following the reform. In order to perfor
The purpose of this thesis is to explore antecedents of recommendation intention for the mobile payment system. The research design was cross-sectional, thus allowing to make associations and patterns. Further, structural equation modeling is used to analyze the relationships between the antecedents and intention formation. The thesis uses the theory of planned behavior as a guiding framework and
This is a study on how the widespread use of GlobalGAP standards, a food safety certification scheme commonly used by the large food retailers, affects African countries’ propensity to export fruit and vegetables. The theoretical framework for this study is based on the ongoing debate on whether standards work as a catalyst or a non-tariff barrier to trade. The question at issue for this paper foc
With the deadline of the 2015 Millenium Development Goals approaching fast, developmental institutions are eager to identify which programs have made an impact and worth continuing as well as which have failed. There have been a number of programs conducted and evaluated in the last decade and now is the time to investigate where they can be improved and restructured. Conditional cash transfers (C
The European Energy production system is in transition towards renewable energy sources (RES). Concrete targets have been set through the European Union “Energy Roadmap 2050”. The transition has started by national states but concrete action towards the targets has been mainly taken up at a local level. In this context, this research work aims at exploring how can a community trigger and drive an
Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls, which provides mechanical support for plants and also contributes to resisting against plant pathogenic fungi. In the fruit industry, the lignin content can affect the quality of fruit. The biosynthesis of lignin involves a variety of enzymes, of which caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) is a class of methyltransferases that plays
Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. Residents in high altitude settlements are however exposed to ext
Associated Trio is the newest sub-regional format of cooperation in Europe, counting only a year since its foundation in May 2021 by the three member states: Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. It shares some similarities with the Visegrad Group, the most prominent cross-country cooperation format of the Central European states. The most important common feature of these two groups is that their member
Traditional change management models have been widely used to manage organisational change. However, this integrative literature review paper questions their relevance in environments characterised by complexity due to the intricate nature of challenges and uncertainties in these contexts. A novel framework is developed, encompassing key elements required to facilitate change in complex environmen
This study has been made to further our understanding of which types of horses were sacrificed in Röekillorna, Skedemosse and Stanstorp. But also, to get an idea on how the horses skeletal parts were handled and through that information try to understand the true importance of sacrificing a horse during the iron age, with a main focus on Röekillorna. By studying the osteological material from Röek
Automated Software testing is becoming increasingly popular, which in turn creates more information that has to be analyzed. At the software company Qlik a tool called NIOCAT is used to create clusters of failed test cases thought to originate from the same code defect. The clustering is done in order to decrease the ever increasing amount of manual analysis needed to be done with regards to softw

Population aging has tremendous economic consequences and generates an unprecedented pressure on the welfare state. As the number and share of ‘dependent’ people grows, the state struggles to finance pensions and health-related costs. In this optic, Sweden is no exception: the mean age of the population, life expectancy and share of people above 65 continuously increase – which warrants the focus
Popular Abstract in English This doctoral thesis investigates the onset of cardiovascular disease with a focus on socioeconomic differences as explanatory factors. Analyzing a contemporary population of natives and foreign-born individuals in Sweden, socioeconomic status is operationalized through a variety of measures. The importance of this study is found in the high cost of cardiovascular interThis doctoral thesis investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status and the onset of cardiovascular disease in a contemporary population of natives and foreign-born individuals in Sweden. The complexity of individual socioeconomic characteristics and the interrelationship with other cardiovascular risk factors is the focus of the studies in this thesis. As in most developed countries,
