The global demand for fresh food has increased during the past five years and the demand is anticipated to continue growing in the future. The consumers' expectations are also getting higher and higher, which is why it is of great importance that the actors within the food industry meet these requirements to remain competitive. Fresh food is perishable goods which have a short shelf life. The

While flying today the customers will receive static advertisements on the screens placed in front of every seat. Hence, the advertisements do not differ depending on the flight’s duration or personal interests. Our goal was to develop a marketing tool where the marketing team at different airlines could specify under which circumstances a certain advertisement would be displayed onboard. The desi

Introduction: Knowing diffusion coefficients in supercritical carbon dioxide is important from an efficient process in chromatography and extraction. Background: Several papers have estimated diffusion coefficients in pure supercritical carbon dioxide, but rather few have investigated the effect of adding a cosolvent. Aim(s): Building and validating a system for estimating diffusion coefficients

We present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat

Under the Family Planning Policy, the contraceptive use in China is not only the outcome of personal choice but highly influenced by the policy regulations. Using provincial level data, this study aims in finding to what extend does Family Planning Policy have its impact on the contraceptive use of married Chinese women aged 15-49 years from year 1992 to 2017. Controls for social economic status (

The animosities between India and Pakistan have been continuous since partition of British India over seven decades ago. Disputes over Kashmir and the rivers flowing through the region can be said to represent a nucleus of the tensions between the two countries. Due to environmental stress and population growth, hydropolitics is persistently being set under pressure. Three security frames, nationa

This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural produ

In 2011, the Dutch dredging company Van Oord was hired to expand the Suape port’s capacity by dredging the entrance to a new shipyard, and to deepen the access channel to the port in order to allow bigger tankers to reach a newly built local oil refinery. The company took out insurance for these projects by the Dutch ECA Atradius DSB (Dutch State Business). These projects ended up having major imp

The dairy industry has a noteworthy environmental footprint, specifically on global warming and resource depletion. Yet, environmental challenges also adversely impact the sustenance of many dairy value chain stakeholders. This is problematic not only in terms of livelihood for more than 70 million rural households but also considering the growing population and hence the increasing dairy demand.

Academia is vertically gender segregated, where women are underrepresented in senior positions in all fields (Allbright, 2019; Curtis, 2011; European Commission, 2016; Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ), 2017). This study investigated research self-efficacy and social belongingness expectations as social cognitive mediators of research career interest in a sample of 239 Swedish social scienc

This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.

Lumazine Synthase forms pentamers, C5 in some organism and icodahedra, Ih in other. The aim of this project is to investigate which evolutionary steps could have led the pentamers to assembly into icosahedral capsids. Therefore prevoius work has been performed to reconstruct ancestral sequences for the pentameric and icosahedral forms of Lumazine Synthase. The icosahedral sequence had been express

The aim of this bachelor thesis was to investigate whether or not Bäljane stream is a possible recipient for treated leachate from a Swedish municipal solid waste plant. This report will see how the current environmental status is in the river and how it will be affected in the future if emissions of treated leachate occur. Earlier studies regarding the environmental status in the river was evalua

I boverkets rapport Beräkning av behovet av nya bostäder till 2025 framgår det att 600 000 nya bostäder behöver byggas fram till år 2025. Regeringen anser att ett ökat industriellt träbyggande kan bidra till att möta behovet av nya och överkomliga bostäder av god kvalitet. Trä kan ge goda förutsättningar för industriell byggproduktion och hög prefabriceringsgrad som i sin tur kan pressa byggkostna

Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation

The world of creating new software is currently going more and more towards being as fast and agile as possible to be able to adapt to changing customer demands. The design process of new software should reflect that, which doesn't leave much time for scheduling user tests in person. How can feedback from users be gathered in a scalable way, and the design of a product be made using a fail-fas

En morfologisk analys av ett konstprojekt som bedrevs inom ramen för den ideella föreningen Ars & Modus verksamhet mellan 2004 – 2009. Utifrån analysen dras riktlinjer upp för en pedagogisk studie. Konstprojektet skrivs först in i ett större politiskt, ekonomiskt och konstnärligt sammanhang, där konstbegreppet utvecklas och problematiseras. Därefter belyses konstens alltmer instrumentella situA morphological analysis of an art project that was active during the years 2004 through 2009 within the framework of the NGO Ars & Modus. With this analysis as a starting point a study is then outlined. First the art project is put in a wider political, economic and artistic context and the concept ”art” is further developed and problematized. Then the growing instrumentalisation of art is hi
