Purpose: Environmental sustainability in the wine industry has become increasingly important. Most countries have implemented programs to ensure sustainability. In South Africa, the majority of wine farms belong to the sustainability scheme. However, small and medium wine farms face challenges in adopting sustainability practices. Therefore, this research investigates the barriers faced by SME win

The liability of newness creates a different landscape for the start-up company that is trying to expand its team by hiring its first employees. Hence, the same hiring strategies that work for established corporations will not yield the optimal results for a start-up. The current literature focuses on understanding the needs of the start-up to devise a recruitment strategy. However, an understandi

Miljöarbete är ett omfattande område och organisationer kan arbeta med att minska sin miljöpåverkan på olika sätt. Logistik är en av de aktiviteter inom försörjningskedjan som bidrar till störst utsläpp av koldioxid vilket gör att det är en central del att arbeta med för att minska miljöpåverkan. Lastbärare är en komponent som kan användas under samtliga aktiviteter inom logistiken och som även bi

Digital teknologi såsom mobiler och datorer har gett oss stora möjligheter till att kommunicera med varandra på ett snabbare och smidigare sätt än vad som tidigare inte var möjligt. Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utveckla förståelse kring den upplevda påverkan digital teknologi har på våra sociala liv. Att belysa de processer som teknologi medför till att vara social som människa idag, de

Smart wearable technology devices have facilitated self-monitoring that enables control of health and fitness through various metrics that are based on the collected data. Although wearable technology devices can be beneficial for health and well-being, their current level of adoption and commercialisation is still in the early phase, and researchers are attempting to identify the factors that imp

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa eventuella samband mellan narrativ hörförståelse, nonordsrepetition och ordförståelse hos elever i årskurs 2 och 3. Metod: Testning av nonordsrepetition, narrativ hörförståelse samt ordförståelse genomfördes med testmaterial Crosslinguistic Nonword Repetition Test, Lyssna, förstå och minnas samt deltest Ordförståelse från Diagnostisk screening för analys aPurpose: The purpose of this study was to elucidate possible correlations between narrative listening comprehension, nonword repetition and word comprehension in 2nd and 3rd grade pupils. Method: Nonword repetition, narrative listening comprehension and word comprehension were assessed using the respective assessment materials: Crosslinguistic Nonword Repetition Test, Lyssna, förstå och minnas and

Despite a global increase in gender equality, intimate partner violence (IPV) still plagues all nations. Moreover, IPV is still a heavily stereotyped crime where women are victims and men are perpetrators. Due to the gendered nature of IPV, information that either conforms or deviates from gender expectations can change the perceptions of perpetrators and victims of IPV. The present study investig

The purpose of this study is to investigate how three Swedish authorities - the National Board of Health and Welfare, the Swedish Psychological Defense Agency (MPF), and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) - have handled the disinformation campaign against the social services. This study is based on a qualitative method and the empirical part is characterized by thematic document analysis

Aktionsforskning är en forskningsstrategi som utgår från verkliga problem i praktiska verksamheter och sker i samarbete mellan forskare och praktiker. Det finns kritiker mot aktionsforskning som hävdar att den inte når upp till vetenskapliga krav (Helskog, 2014, s.11). Exempel på sådana krav är generaliserbarhet och objektivitet. Försvarare av aktionsforskning hävdar att det är den forskningsansat

Climate issues are currently of attention in various contexts as changing climate factors affect us in many ways. One of these effects is the influence on the probability and frequency of fires, although other factors, especially anthropogenic ones, also play a role. In the Diyarbakir region, a Kurdish-Turkish province affected by the PKK's conflict (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan - Kurdistan Work

The significance of access to education has, like women’s role in peacebuilding, previously been examined in various studies. However, the relationship between these two has rarely been touched upon. Particularly the discipline of Sociology of Law has been observed to discuss the topics in separate academic discussions. Hence, findings in accordance with my study have revealed that there is no res

Introduction: Identification and quantification of OxPCs and LPCs in the lung surfactant with non-invasive sampling techniques and validated analytical methods are of great importance in terms of exploring biomarkers of oxidative stress in lung and other lung related diseases. Background: Although there are some well-structured analytical methods for the detection and quantification of OxPCs, the

The archaeological traditions of the Viking Age have a complex history. Some of it has been nationalist in orientation, at times constructing proud historical narratives reflecting ownership in and continuity of the past. These narratives conflict with increasing population diversity in the Scandinavian nations, where contemporary identity politics grapple with real and imagined realities of im

Som ett led i Sveriges bidrag till en minskad klimatpåverkan ska miljarder investeras i gröna industrisatsningar i Norrland. Samhällsomvandlingen kräver att invånarantalet ökar och att det byggs mer. Och för byggnationer krävs det yrkesarbetare i form av bland annat snickare, betongare, murare som det redan idag är en brist på marknaden. Yrkesarbetaryrket måste vara ett attraktivt val för dagens u

The main factors for usage of Induction assisted machining of Manganese steel were identified in this project. The testing environment to evaluate performance of the high frequency coils for turning and milling was created. The characteristics of the material that we are working with were measured. Such variables as the cutting speed, feed rate, area to be heated and the time of the heating on the

This study argues that shame and negative feelings such as fear and envy are central in contemporary lesbian music despite the dominant academic narrative that depressing lesbian music was left behind at the turnover to queer theory and culture in the 1990s. Lesbian shame is an area of study that has been overlooked by queer theory despite a consensus that gay and queer shame are important. This p

A growing trend within the technologies acting as enablers for 6g, such as Massive MIMO and Large Intelligence Surfaces, is benefiting from both the communication and the positioning aspects that they can provide. As these kinds of systems are employing a large number of arrays which provide high amounts of data, a distributed hardware approach having near-antenna processing is explored in this wo

I denna uppsats i sociologi belyses problematiken kring gängkriminalitet i Göteborgs Stad. Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse och insikt i hur Göteborgs Stad arbetar förebyggande och vilka insatser som genomförs, samt att se vilken typ av samverkan som finns. Detta för att kunna föreslå vidare åtgärder i stadens arbete med utsatta områden och gängkriminalitet som fenomen. För att kunna

Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely adopted for identity verification in various applications. Palm biometrics, utilizing the unique patterns of the human palm, has gained significant attention for its accuracy and security. This thesis aims to investigate and propose a comprehensive design for certain as- pects of a contactless palm print recogniImproving Contactless Palm Print Recognition Technology Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely used for identity verification in various applications. An- other promising biometric solution is palm biometrics, which utilizes the unique patterns found on the human palm for accurate and secure iden- tification. This thesis focuses on investigating and
