I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the

Internal social media (ISM) platforms have transformed internal communication by enabling dialogue, participation, and shared meaning-making across organizational hierarchies and locations. While previous research has highlighted ISM’s role in knowledge sharing and employee engagement, less attention has been paid to its function in shaping organizational identity from a managerial perspective. Th

This thesis uses real data from the Bank of International Settlements to create financial networks for the interbank market using five different methods for network reconstruction. The goal is to analyze how defaults propagate to assess the importance of banks and to examine how the network’s structure affects the system’s vulnerability. By applying network theory, communicability theory, and the

Based on an explorative case study approach, this thesis investigated whether the Uppsala model functioned in Samsung Electronics Corp. (SEC) case. The purpose of this study was to upgrade the Uppsala model by using a representative case of SEC. This thesis found that there are two dimensions derived from the Uppsala model. The first dimension is the sequential nature of the internationalization p

It is frequently claimed that what is known as the “flying geese model” of dynamic comparative advantage has with few mistakes explained the East Asian catching up process. This paper offers a critical study on, especially from the prospect of South Korea, whether the flying geese model is acceptable to explain the economic relations among the three Northeast Asian countries, South Korea, Japan, a

Previous research on hydropower projects impact on people’s socio-economic development has mainly focused on relocated people, immediately after they were relocated, arguing that relocation result in underdevelopment of people´s livelihoods. Henceforth, this research contribute to the literature through including a long-term perspective to highlight immediate and long-term impacts on relocated and

The aim of this thesis is to discuss the construction of Taiwanese identity in Shanghai and compare with the studies on identity formation in Taiwan itself. The thesis is divided into three parts: cultural identity, ethnic identity and political identity. A total of 10 male and female students from Taiwan who had resided a year and above and enrolled in higher education in Shanghai were interviewe

Full-scale experiments have been carried out to adapt the activated sludge model ASM2d to include the influence of metal dosage (Fe3+ and Al3+) for phosphorus removal. Phosphorus removal rates, nitrification rates, as well as pH and sludge settling performance, were evaluated as functions of the metal dosages. Furthermore, models relating certain parameters to the dosage of chemicals have been der

For a long time debate has taken place regarding the trends and extinction rates associated with the Cretaceous- Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event on land. While mainly focussed on vertebrates and more especially non-avian dinosaurs, the dynamics of the plant cover remains nonetheless a major component for the understanding the biological response across the K-Pg interval and associated ecosy

It is not unusual that women and children fall behind in development countries. It is not even unusual that these groups are exposed to all forms of discrimination due to the countries lack of capacity to erase poverty. We also know that women and children in a larger extent suffers from the shortage of proper health conditions. India is one of these countries. It is a country where women even bef

Land degradation is always With Lis but its causes, extent and severity are contested. We define land degradation as a long-term decline in ecosystem function and productivity, Which may be assessed using lone-term, remotely sensed normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. Deviation from the norm may serve as a proxy assessment of land degradation and improvement - if other factors that

The message conveyed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is clear: the global climate crisis has arrived (e.g., IPCC, 2007, 2014). It is commonly understood that responding to this crisis requires coordinated actions at a global level (Weischer et al., 2012, p. 117; Kulovesi, 2012, p. 193). Attempts to slow down the increase in global temperature, as well as to organize and exc

Coxsackievirus A24 variant (CVA24v) is a major causative agent of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis outbreaks worldwide, yet the evolutionary and transmission dynamics of the virus remain unclear. To address this, we analyzed and compared the 3C and partial VP1 gene regions of CVA24v isolates obtained from five outbreaks in Cuba between 1986 and 2009 and strains isolated worldwide. Here we show tha
