There is a limited amount of research regarding the use of information systems (IS) augmenting organizations ecological sustainable initiatives. While the field of Green IT somewhat has been studied, Green IS has not received the same attention in scientific research. In this report we have aimed to identify areas that are poorly, or have yet to be, augmented by IS. Thus highlighting areas where o
This essay aims to discuss the complicacy concerning minority and indigenous rights and its complex relation to other international law instruments. In this research I focus on the situation that occurred when the Bolivian president sent an amendment to the Secretary General concerning the withdrawal of the two articles regarding coca leaf-chewing in the Single Convention on Drugs. The member-stat
Med röntgenstrålning går det i dagsläget att avbilda kroppens inre anatomi i antingen två eller tre dimensioner. Vid en vanlig slätröntgenundersökning (2D) tas en så kallad projektionsbild från en eller två vinklar, framifrån/bakifrån och från sidan. Detta genererar en tvådimensionell bild där alla (anatomiska) strukturer mellan röntgenröret och filmen överlagras, d.v.s. de går inte att separera fDuring the last century several attempts have been made to overcome the fundamental problem of X-ray imaging, i.e. that anatomical information existing in 3-dimensions has to be represented on a 2-dimensional radiograph. In this thesis, digital tomosynthesis, a rened version of conventional tomography, has been investigated. Digital tomosynthesisenables retrospective reconstruction of an arbitrary
Mätningar av vingar och klor av flygödlefossil från museer i Uppsala och München har gjorts för att försöka förklara hur de morfologiska skillnaderna mellan underordningarna Rhamphorhynchoidea och Pterodactyloidea avspeglar sig i flygödlornas flygfunktion och levnadssätt. Exemplaren av flygödlorna som ingår i mätningarna ligger i kalksten och skiffer från Solnhofen, Eichstätt och Holzmaden som avsTo explain how the morphological differences between Rhamphorhynchoidea and Pterodactyloidea affect flight performances and life styles wings and claws of pterosaur fossils from collections in Uppsala and Munich have been measured. The measured specimens are from Jurassic limestones and shales in Solnhofen, Eichstätt and Holzmaden and include Dorygnathus, Campylognathoides, Rhamphorhynchus, Anurog
Tre grustag undersöktes i nordöstra Tyskland, Kreuzbruchhof, Fritscheshof och Spargelberg. Syftet var att rekonstruera den senaste glaciala aktiviteten i området. Tolkningarna och således rekonstruktionen grundar sig till största delen på sedimentologiska och strukturella undersökningar. Kreuzbruchhof består mestadels av glacifluviala sediment med undantag för några mindre diamikta enheter tolkadeThree gravel pits near Neubrandenburg, NE Germany, were investigated - Kreuzbruchhof, Spargelberg and Fritscheshof. The investigated gravel pits are situated in an undulating kame landscape 150 km south of the Baltic Sea. The aim of this study was to reconstruct the Late Weichselian history (e.g. deglaciation of the Pomeranian ice sheet) of the area. Reconstruction was based mainly on sedimentolog
Idag lever vi en globaliserad värld där varor, tjänster och personer rör sig över större avstånd på ett allt enklare och snabbare sätt. Detta har resulterat i att fler företag har valt att etablerat sig internationellt och i allt större utsträckning strävar efter att etablera sig och verka globalt. När företag verkar i flera länder är en av konsekvenserna att företagen måste efterfölja lagar och rToday we live in a globalized world where goods, services and people can move easily over wide distances smoother and faster for each day. This has resulted in an increasing number of companies striving to establish and operate globally. One of the consequences when companies establishes worldwide is that they must comply with laws and regulations in the countries where they choose to establish. T
Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b
In this project, we are studying the material flow and the information flow of sample materials and the appurtenant report of deviation for the purpose to be able to suggest better solutions. The sample material, which is to be analysed, is to be continuously taken from the production flow. The purpose is to navigate the process by the results found by the analysis. Because of this, it's very
This research carried out an assessment on the socioeconomic factors related to the use of violence (psychological aggression and physical assault) against children within the family context, and the extent to which childrearing patterns can be transmitted across generations. The sample under study consisted of 13,205 observations from mothers in all regions of Peru and their children aged 1 to 5
The purpose of this research is to explore the phenomenon of Unconventional Brand Collaborations from a consumer culture perspective and discover the factors that make them appealing to Gen Z. Hence, this study aims to give another perspective than the one given by previous literature on brand collaborations, which emphasizes the need for a high perceived fit between the parent brands. To fulfill
This paper proposes and investigates a Bayesian relation between optimal L2 regularization strengths and the number of training patterns and hidden nodes used for an artificial neural network. The results support the proposed dependence for number of training patterns, while the dependence on hidden architecture was less clear. Finally, applying different regularization strengths on different laye
Världen står inför stora utmaningar när det gäller miljö- och klimatförändringar. För att bemöta detta finns svensk och internationell miljölagstiftning och hållbarhetsmål. I detta ingår regleringar och förslag till åtgärder gällande avfallshantering och hantering av naturresurser. Byggbranschen är den sektor som genererar störst mängd avfall i Sverige, en stor del av detta består av schaktmassor.The world is facing challenges when it comes to environmental and climate changes.

Municipal wastewater contains a lot of compounds that could be seen as resources. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are common ingredients in fertilizers and can all be found in wastewater. Nowadays only a small part of the nutrients found in wastewater are used on arable land. Urine contains the most of the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium secreted by humans. Source separation of urine is a wa
The production of single cell biomass by the collaboration company in this project for use as a meat alternative is a potential source of sustainable alternatives to functional ingredients for the food industry. With its high protein content, creating a protein isolate from the single cell biomass became interesting and a study of single cell protein functionalities could offer a possibility to in
Introduction: Superfruits have been promoted as nutrient-rich food that can improve your health, however, many scientists argue that the validation of the term is based on exaggeration of the limited studies that are available.
