This paper explores the issue of private retail governance to deliver SCP. In particular it focuses on the role of private retail eco-brands to promote sustainability both upstream and downstream in the food supply chain. The analysis and discussion centers around the question whether private retail eco-brands are better fitted to introduce sustainability into the food supply-chain than 3rd party

Through the making of courses in Rehabilitation engineering entirely over the Internet, Certec has pedagogically achieved three things. The most obvious is that our education has become more accessible for disabled students. Not so obvious was the effects that came from making the familiar strange when we were transferring to the net: It was impossible to invent a ‘net-pedagogy’ by doing anything

An attempt is made in this article to identify the success and failure factors in organizational change and learning process. The empirical study was made by following an organization-wide project that aims at changing pricing practices in highly decentralized sub-units through the efforts of corporate head office. The results show that the highly decentralized organizational structure and the ind

This paper examines the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on recent operatic practice, exploring its potential to affect the development of the genre from the artist’s perspective. While opera has historically evolved in tandem with technological advancements, the integration of AI raises important questions about its function within the operatic toolbox and its relation to the genre’s cor

A number of Extremely Large Telescopes for visual-infrared and adjacent wavelengths are in various degrees of progress. All have primary mirrors with equivalent diameters larger than 20 m and are intended for operation with adaptive optics systems. We discuss several ELT observing parameters as functions of wavelength. Stellar energy distributions and atomic line spectra are inspected as are the t

As the Human Proteome Project has outlined currently many research groups worldwide dedicated resources to focus on the completion of the human proteome catalogue. According to the project directives, not only all products of ca. 20,300 protein coding genes should be identified but also at least one splicing variant, one single nucleotide polymorphism product and some major post-translational modi

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a potentially attractive operating mode for stationary natural gas engines. Increasing demand for efficient, clean burning engines for electrical power generation provides an opportunity to utilize HCCI combustion if several inherent difficulties can be overcome. Fuel composition, particularly the higher hydrocarbon content (ethane, propane, and bu

Cosmological investigations, using high-redshift quasi-stellar object (QSO) absorption spectra, of possible variations of the fine-structure constant (alpha) require very accurate laboratory wavelengths for a number of resonance transitions from several different species. A change in alpha could be detected as a shift in the wavelengths of atomic transitions in the QSO systems and to accurately de

Bakgrund: Demens är en komplex funktionsnedsättning som kommer ha en prevalens på 130 miljoner år 2050. Den ökade förekomsten av demens ställer krav på team som jobbar inom vården. Teamen inom vården kommer att behöva samarbeta effektivt och jobba med aktivitetsbaserade interventioner som bevisats vara kostnadseffektiva. För ett effektivt samarbete behöver teamet kunskap om varandras kompetens. Sy

I denna studie har vi undersökt om den nya hörapparattekniken med öppna anpassningar kan bidra till förbättrad taluppfattning och livskvalitet för de personer som har drabbats av en diskantnedsättning på grund av cytostatikabehandling. Vi har även studerat hur hörseln har påverkats och förändrats före, efter och under behandlingens gång och om det kan finnas en koppling mellan hur hög dos patiente

The purpose of this thesis is to identify potential factors that affect the patient's experience regarding the care and treatment they have received at the Swedish Red Cross' Treatment Center. The treatment center help people who are suffering from trauma linked to war, torture and/or severe migration journeys. In 2019, 454 of their patients answered a survey about how they experienced the

This paper examines the importance of taste and health in food demand, as well as the effect on consumers’ experienced taste of the non-intrinsic value of healthy labels. Our analysis is based on taste experiments and Vickrey second price auctions on potato chips and bread. Our findings imply a large positive effect on demand, as measured by willingness to pay, for potato chips from higher taste s
