Handelsbranschen befinner sig mitt i en tid av stora omfattande förändringar, vad gäller till exempel människors ändrade köpmönster, digitalisering, urbanisering och globalisering . En av de stora konsekvenserna av dessa förändringar är förändringen i relationen mellan handel och plats.Detta har varit utgångspunkten för forskningsprogrammet ”Retail Destination” vars resultat redovisas i denna skri

The present invention describes a method for the treatment of tall oil pitch (TOP), said method comprising heating the TOP and optionally additives including water and steam to a temperature of at least 300°C; maintaining the temperature in the reactor at 300°C or higher for a period of time to enable thermal treatment of the TOP to act on components thereof toproduce fatty acids and/or rosin acid

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems must overcome severe phase noise impairment to exploit its full advantage (e.g. high data rate). However, the estimation of phase noise combined with wireless channel requires not only high-computational complexity, but also does not guarantee a stable solution. In this paper, the fact that the coherence bandwidth of a mmWave system is much larger than those of con

DebattTillgången till vatten kan inte längre ses som en lokal fråga utan måste ses ur ett bredare perspektiv, som kräver en samordning som är ny för Sverige. Det behövs sammanhängande nationell styrning och en strategi med helhetssyn på vattenfrågan, skriver nio svenska vattenexperter som kommer att debattera detta ämne under politikerveckan i Almedalen.

In this paper, we suggest that psychology as a science, and especially as a clinical practice, can develop new ways of thinking and working with clients by including critical, feminist, and norm-critical approaches. Ethical guidelines highlight that psychologists should respect the client’s rights and dignity. New policies for evidence-based psychological practice also emphasize responsiveness to

This thesis deals with the addition of upconversion detection to non-linear mid-infrared laser spectroscopy techniques. The techniques investigated here are degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) and infrared polarization spectroscopy (IRPS). These techniques are useful for detecting many of the key species in combustion, such as CH4, C2H6, HCl, and HCN. These species can be probed using ro-vibrationa

Critical thinking is an important aim of higher education, and it is a skill particularly important in interdisciplinary fields. I am proposing a seminar where, based on an initial text and some central discussion questions, we can discuss our experiences with teaching and learning in an interdisciplinary manner. The experience from sustainability-related teaching shows that addressing interdiscip

We consider Boolean circuits over {∨, ∧, ¬} with negations applied only to input variables. To measure the “amount of negation” in such circuits, we introduce the concept of their “negation width.” In particular, a circuit computing a monotone Boolean function f(x1, . . ., xn) has negation width w if no nonzero term produced (purely syntactically) by the circuit contains more than w distinct negat

Globalization has increased in recent decades, resulting in structural changes of production and labor demand. This paper examines how the increased global engagement of firms affects the structure of the workforce. We find that the aggregate distribution of occupations in Sweden has become more skilled between 1997 and 2013. Moreover, firms with a high degree of international orientation have a r

A combination of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) impregnation of pyrrole and sonochemical transformation of permanganate (KMnO4) was used to impart conductive and catalytic properties to silk fibers. The results indicated that the conductivity (from polypyrrole –PPy) and catalytic activities (from manganese dioxide –MnO2) were independent and complementary within the processing parameters use

The mode of enquiry in African economic history has changed quite radically in recent years. In 1987, Patrick Manning surveyed practices and databases in African economic history and compared empirical strategies of scholars who studied the African past. Current practice, which A. G. Hopkins called “new African economic history,” incorporates econometric methods. The specific methods chosen and th

Motion is a major confound in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the body, and it is a common cause of image artefacts. The effects are particularly severe in cardiac applications, due to the nonrigid cyclical deformation of the myocardium. Spin echo-based DWI commonly employs gradient moment-nulling techniques to desensitise the acquisition to velocity and acceleration, ie, nulling gradient mome
