A number of policy instruments are used in order to provide consumers healthy products produced in a proper way as regards environmental impacts. The policy instruments are mainly directed to enterprises and companies producing products. Such actors are often addressed in terms of laws or regulations and represent different actors in a production chain. Policy instruments and the way they are used

Boken fungerar både som en allmän lärobok/forskningsöversikt i placemarketing och som en mer lokal inspirationsbok för Helsingborgsregionen. Boken behandlar bland annat stadsutveckling, sätt att räkna städers befolkning, stadens form och utseende, regional konkurrens, näringslivsutveckling, hur bilder formar städer samt diverse kreativietsaspekter som används för att befrämja utveckling av städer.

In the wake of well-known instances of corporate misconduct – for example Enron in the U.S., and Skandia in Sweden – consumers ask for more transparent corporate brand practices to make corporate brands trustworthy. However, potentially, consumers who put their trust in brands may be sacrificing some of their own control, thus weakening themselves in the trusting relationship. The aim of this book

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla människor har säkert någon gång i sitt liv haft en vanlig förkylning med snuva, och ökad slemproduktion som främsta symtom. På luftvägsslemhinnans yta möter kroppen omvärlden i form av inhalerade partiklar, bakterier och virus som fastnar i den tunna slemfilm som normalt täcker och skyddar det yttersta cellagret. Vid irritation av slemhinnan ses ofta en förhöjd sleMucins are essential components of the mucosal barrier. The complexity of the airway mucosal barrier is reflected in the lack of specific treatments to block mucin hypersecretion associated with several respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis. Currently, researchers in the mucin field are confronted with a growing number of mucin genes. In order to understand th

The thesis scrutinizes an emerging phenomenon in international relations: the increase in functional overlaps among international regimes. I approach this young field of study in three consecutive parts. The first part conceptualizes regime overlaps as ‘regime conflicts’. Following a broad sociological understanding of ‘conflict’, I define a regime conflict as an overlap among two or more internat

The Cauchy problem for the following system of conservation laws with relaxation time $delta$ is discussed: $(ast)$ $(u+v)_t+f(u)_x=0$, $delta v_t=A(u)-v$. A theorem on the well-posedness of the problem is given in the class of functions with bounded total variation. Then the behaviour of solutions to $(ast)$ as $delta o 0$ is treated and convergence of a certain finite-difference scheme to the so

The formation of nitrogen oxides during combustion of coal is a complex process involving both homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction step. In this thesis HCN and NH3 are used as model compunds for the nitrogen containing pyrolysis products

One way to increase distribution network reliability is to replace traditional overhead lines with underground cables. To fully utilize these investments, network owners will have to adjust their reliability engineering methods to suit the new cable networks. In this paper different condition assessment methods as well as improved failure statistics for cable systems are considered. The paper is b

A Matlab / Simulink-based simulator for real-time control systems is described. The simulator facilitates co-simulation of plant dynamics, controller code execution, and real-time scheduling. Three examples are given. The kernel primitives are described in detail.
