However, the construction industry is a step behind other industries when it comes to implementing new technical methods, and this is for several reasons. Some examples of these: 1. Conservative culture: For a long time, traditional construction methods have been an unwritten rule in the co

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises a significant transformation of communication practices. Given the surging global interest in Generative AI among communication professionals, particularly considering its potential economic benefits for developing nations like Cambodia, this study investigated the key factors influencing Cambodian communication professionals' a

The advancing field of biomaterials seeks to improve the quality of life by restoring lost biological functions. While the use of naturally or synthetically originating biomaterials poses scalability and toxicity issues, proteins are an interesting alternative characterized by biocompatibility and tunability. Amelogenin and dragline silks are two well-studied proteins of interest due to their mech

Biofilm som bildas på materialytor vanligt förekommande i processutrustning inom livsmedelsindustrin utgör ett hot mot livsmedlets säkerhet och kvalitet. Bakterier som närmar sig en yta kan fästa in, föröka sig och skapa en matris av extracellulära polymersubstanser (EPS) vilken de bäddar in sig i. Biofilm som väl etablerats är svår att tvätta bort och det är därför av intresse att undersöka faktoBiofilms formed on surfaces encountered in process equipment in the food industry pose a threat to food safety and quality. Planktonic bacteria can adhere to a surface, proliferate, and embed themselves in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance known as the EPS. Because biofilms are difficult to remove once established, factors influencing the initial attachment is of interest to investigat

Title: Spare Parts Inventory Management - A Case Study at Axis Communications AB Purpose: The purpose of the thesis was to explore the phenomenon of spare parts in the forward supply chain and identify the challenges, gaps, and opportunities to increase the overall efficiency of their spare parts inventory management practices. Background: Organisations have recognized the need for balancing the

The ability to cooperate and function well within a group context is vital within several different facets of the practicing social worker. Studies have shown that students' attitudes towards group assignments may later carry over toward their professional careers, which when negative may affect their ability to operate within a career that is largely dependent on both inter-organisational coo

Sustainable development requires coordination among multi-level actors to achieve set targets, with networks playing a key role in sharing knowledge and fostering collective actions. These networks’ success hinges on member engagement, but since participation is voluntary, members choose their level of involvement. Despite the importance, factors influencing network engagement remain rather scarce
