Increasing security in transports without negatively affecting the logistical flow makes efficiency a critical factor. To achieve a viable end-to-end security solution in a supply chain, with complex network of dependencies, requires a holistic perspective. The pilot project was driven by Volvo Technology and it involved important stakeholders in the supply chain and port domain focusing on the PoIncreasing security in transports without negatively affecting the logistical flow makes efficiency a critical factor.

Rivers discharge a notable amount of dissolved Fe (1:5×109 mol yr-1) to coastal waters but are still not considered important sources of bioavailable Fe to open marine waters. The reason is that the vast majority of particular and dissolved riverine Fe is considered to be lost to the sediment due to aggregation during estuarine mixing. Recently, however, several studies demonstrated relatively hig

The currently available data on the distribution of C2 fracture subtypes is sparse. This study was designed to identify the proportions of the second cervical vertebra (C2) fracture subtypes and to present age and gender specific incidences of subgroups. A dataset of all patients treated between 2002 and 2014 for C2 fractures was extracted from the regional hospital information system. C2 fracture

Previous studies report high and increasing iron (Fe) concentrations in boreal river mouths. This Fe has shown relatively high stability to salinity-induced aggregation in estuaries. The aim of this study was to understand how the speciation of Fe affects stability over salinity gradients. For Fe to remain in suspension interactions with organic matter (OM) are fundamental and these interactions c

Vaccines may have non-specific effects as suggested mainly in mortality studies from low-income countries. The objective was to examine the effects of BCG and smallpox vaccinations on subsequent risk of lymphoma and leukaemia in a Danish population experiencing rapid out-phasing of these vaccines. In a background cohort (N=47,622) from the Copenhagen School Health Records Register, cases of leukae

Learning from demonstration represents a powerful type of learning and a promising alternative to programming robots. However, even after years of research in the field the current level of robot imitation skills can be compared to a 2-year old child. Most of the presented works up to now have been exact imitation of trajectories without any particular understanding about the rudimentary goals of t

The main purpose of any Customer Relationship Management(CRM) system of any customer-focused organization is to build new and retain old relationships with its customers.Such CRM systems provide customer data so that its users or top management can make correct decisions in order to improve organization’s performance. Nowadays, advanced analytics in the form of Business Intelligence (BI) can be us

As a result of insufficient harmonization between domestic tax systems, opportunities have occurred for multinational enterprises (MNE’s) to use aggressive tax planning. To overcome the difficulties, countries must be able to exchange information about the MNE’s tax payments. OECD and the EU have developed country-by-country reporting (CbCR) to ease the exchange of information. CbCR contains an ob

The developed tie-gradient representing the tie-strength-continuum along which multiple relationship-clusters can be allotted through comparison, provides a more nuanced view on tie strength. During idea generation, weak(er) ties are predominantly consulted, which does not preclude the inclusion of other tie strengths. During idea evaluation, we discovered a tie-cascade indicating that within a pr

Can states by introducing taxes, change the way their citizens consume? Can states tax away the sins of their population? In this following paper, I have examined varies excise taxes in Denmark. More specificly I have analyzed Denmark’s tobacco- and alcoholtax and their failed sugar tax. How effective are they and what made the sugar tax fail? What are the correlation between the taxes and what ar

The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

This thesis investigates the causal relationship between board diversity and the performance of firms that have gone public in the Nordics through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) during the 2020s, a period characterised by significant economic, regulatory, and demographic shifts. By implementing a robust instrumental variable (IV) approach with the Bartik shift-share instrument, the study examines

In December 2019, news came from China about a mysterious virus that infected people in the Chinese city of Wuhan. During the following weeks the disease spread further to a number of countries all over the world (DW 2019). The new disease turns out to be very dangerous and highly contagious. While the pandemic spread and people died disinformation started to spread in the media, social media, and
