The growing trend in organic consumption has lead us to develop a research about barriers that influences young consumer’s beliefs and attitudes toward organic food. The study is based on results of a survey conducted in a supermarket from Malmo on a sample of 270 occasional and non-organic young consumers aged 18-36 years. The data collected was analyzed with SPSS 23.0 by carrying out hierarchica

The growth of tissues and organs in plants is governed by the morphogen auxin coupled with the membrane protein PIN, which together generate patterns that guide development. Systems of this kind have been studied extensively in experiments and computational system biology models. This thesis builds on that work by introducing a stochastic version of these models to examine differences between stoc

Lunds Observatoriums Vakuum-Echelle Spektrograf (LOVES) är en spektrograf byggd för att studera ultraviolett ljus i våglängdsregionen 1000- 2000Å. Ultraviolett (UV) ljus i denna våglängdsregion absorberas i luft varför LOVES är konstruerad inuti en 2,5m lång evakuerad tank. LOVES är i dagsläget inte ett helt fullbordat vetenskapligt instrument. Detta projekthar haft som mål att utveckla och testa In this report we present the testing and development made using the Lund Observatory Vacuum Echelle Spectrograph (LOVES) during the last few years. Hardware development includes an assembly from base components due to relocation and necessary calibrations of the optics. Software devel- opment includes the making of a basic image processing pipeline for the instrument. The testing of LOVES wavelen

Competence requirements is a field that has reached broad recognition in areas such as the Logistics & Supply Chain Management (L&SCM). Yet, in the DES field, there is little research which emphasizes on competencies or prerequisites for DES application. The goal for this master thesis is to explore and analyse what competencies and prerequisites facilitates DES application. The focus of t

China’s economic development has not only led to enormous growth figures, but also to a severe degradation of the environment. Mass-consumption of fossil fuels like oil and coal in China contributed to reaching the level of the largest greenhouse gas emitter worldwide. For the Chinese government to react, it is crucial to take the electricity purchase decisions of households into account to succes

One of the central features of a successful decision support system is the interface. What to provide and how to provide information that later will support the users to make a decision is crucial. With the emergence of mobile business intelligence, the concern about how this technology could increase its user performance in the decision making context and how to deliver these capability to the wo
