In 2009, consistent with its objective to support and develop a European research infrastructure, the European Union (EU) created a neworganizational form for research collaborations: the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Since then, 21 different ERICs havebeen established in the EU Member States; the largest being the European Spallation Source (ESS).The financing of this ERIC i
Trees have the potential to improve urban air quality as leaves and needles capture air pollutants from the air, but further empirical data has been requested to quantify these effects. We measured the concentration of 32 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in leaves of pin oak (Quercus palustris) and needles of black pine (Pinus nigra) in the City of Gothenburg, Sweden, during the summer of 2
Various forms of supply chain management (SCM) research have been carried out in many different manufacturing or industrial settings over the last decades. However, less research exist concerning supply chain management in the service industry. Yet, definitions of supply chain management as they pertain to the service industry are only slightly different than those definitions of SCM in manufactur
In the global market of air transport, integration of products and services is now seen as being necessary for the long-term success of engine manufacturers. This paper describes research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. Our collab
The international increasing consumption implies an increase in the use of chemical products, articles and services. Between the years 2000 -2020 the production of chemicals is expected to rise with 85 percent. Chemicals is not something we can live without, they are all around us for example in food, electronics, clothes and hygienic products. The knowledge about hazardous chemicals and their env
Insect pollinators, such as bees, provides us with important ecosystem services. Unfortunately, a decline in key pollinators has been seen globally. Habitat loss and fragmentation, e.g, caused by urbanization, have been pointed out as important driving factors of pollinator declines. However, studies have also shown that species richness of pollinators can be greater in urban than in rural habitat
Evaluation of Standards and Techniques for Retrieval of Geospatial Raster Data - A study for ICOS Carbon Portal Geospatial raster data represent the world as a surface with its geographic information which varies continuously. These data can be grid-based data like Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) and geographic image data like multispectral images. The Integrated Carbon Observation System (I
Colombia, as many Latin-American countries have designed a series of welfare programs in order to relief poverty, due to the crisis experimented during the 90s. Hence, the present research estimate the impact on earnings of one of the welfare program implemented in Colombia “Empleo en Acción” and see the possible forgone income from participate in the program. Thereby, based on Diff-Diff method th
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
The student group is an emerging target with high potential for both the service industry and municipalities. However, previous studies scrutinizing this segment have been limited despite its significance. The aim of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of how domestic and international students perceive Helsingborg city and to offer insight into the key factors influencing students’ pe
Vid uppsägning på grund av arbetsbrist aktualiseras regler om turordning. Enligt turordningsreglerna har en arbetstagare med lång anställningstid företräde till fortsatt anställning framför en arbetstagare med kortare anställningstid. En förutsättning för företräde är dock att arbetstagaren med lång anställningstid har tillräckliga kvalifikationer. Det är detta kvalifikationskrav som är ämnet för

The critics about poor performance of NGOs over the last two decades focuses on their inclination towards ‘big D’ development – project based intentional activity in health, education and water which has little intention to challenge existing power relation and social structures - and underlined the loss of transformatory edge of participation. Critics further urged NGOs to realign their orientati
