A Framework for Sustainable Strategic Energy Company Investment Analysis and Decision-support: Towards the Operationalisation of Sustainable Energy Systems

In addition to being a key criterion of the sustainable development proviso, for business, the integration of social- and ecological considerations into decision-making is of growing importance for minimising future environmentally-related risk and associated economic costs, as well as gaining a share in growing markets favouring products and companies focusing upon social responsibility and ecolo

Cell and Particle Trapping in Microfluidic Systems Using Ultrasonic Standing Waves

Analysis methods are currently being miniaturized in order to save time and money while achieving higher sensitivities. The ultimate goal is to create a lab-on-a-chip where all analysis steps and instruments can be automated and integrated into a single chip. In order to perform cellassays and microparticle based bioassays on chip, methods to manipulate particles and cells in microsystems are desi

Religion and Conflict : Essays on the Origins of Religious Conflicts and Resulotion Approaches

This manual introduces a theoretical and practical framework among theologians, as well as other professionals. It proposes a historical and sociological, as well as a political and gender approach to the three monotheistic religions based on conflicts provocation and their transgression.

Butterfly Diversity and Dispersal in Fragmented Grasslands

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har utbredningen och förekomsten i av många arter av fåglar, växter och insekter knutna till jordbrukslandskap på olika håll i Europa minskat på grund av jordbrukets rationalisering och intensifiering. För att motverka dessa negativa trender måste man ha kännedom om den relativa betydelsen av lokala och regionala ekologiska processer för popDuring the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. I have studied the ef

Managers' Perception of Flexibility in Manufacturing - A Study in the Swedish Engineering Industry

Managers’ perceptions of flexibility in manufacturing were investigated in a research case study conducted at six Swedish companies within the engineering industry. The goal of the study was to establish which factors managers considered to be important for manufacturing flexibility and how companies and managers perceived flexibility. The size of the company, the complexity of the products and th

Maritime Transport and Risks of Packaged Dangerous Goods
