International standards are playing a key role in leading and shaping the smart manufacturing landscape. The integration and consistency among different standards is therefore essential to effectively support industrial automation evolution and to ensure their applicability. This paper focuses on the ISO18828 and ISO22400 standards, related to the production planning process and manufacturing, con

Night,dawn,and dusk have abiotic features that differ from the day. Illumination,wind speeds,turbulence,and temperatures are lower while humidity may be higher at night. Nocturnal pollination occurred in 30% of angiosperm families across 68% of orders,97% of families with C3,two-thirds of fam-ilies with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM),and 71% dicot families with C4 photosynthesis. Despite its w

Formation of Maillard products and the influencing factors, which are of crucial importance for both manufacturers and consumers, are still not fully understood. Thus in this study available lysine was used as a marker to monitor the extent of Maillard reactions in freeze-dried, spray-dried and drum-dried skim milk powders during 200 days of storage at highly controlled atmospheres. Storage variab

Guatemala is a democratic country in Central America characterized by many social inequalities which limits the quality of democracy in the country. This thesis is based on field research in Monterrico, on a local community in Guatemala, to investigate democratic participation on a local level, from an inclusivity perspective. This topic is investigated in relation to local development processes w

The multidisciplinary Green Extraction approach has recently advanced by integrating the principles of Green Chemistry and the Circular Economy. In this framework, waste products are redefined as negative-cost raw materials for the recovery of high-value compounds with cross-sectoral applications, contributing to both economic and environmental sustainability. This study focuses on the valorizatio

Cyklometallering är en reaktion som används i alltifrån tillverkning av nya material till katalys av industriella kemiska processer, så att de sker snabbare och energisnålare. I denna reaktion reagerar en metall med en organisk molekyl (en ligand) och bildar en cykel och en ny metall-kolbindning. En typ av komplex som bildas genom cyklometallering är pincer-komplex, och dessa komplex kan bland annCyclometallation reactions and pincer complexes are both essential in organometallic synthesis and catalysis. The C-H bond activation is a key step in cyclometallation and metallacycles such aspincer complexes can thus be used to study this bond activation event. Much research has been conducted on the PCsp2P pincer complexes and their cyclopalladations, but not as much on their analogous sp3-hybr

När man färdas genom Sverige går det enkelt att notera att en stor del täcks av skog, närmre bestämt ungefär 70%. Flera av våra viktiga ekosystem med höga naturvärden finns bland denna grönska. Mycket skog innebär även många skogsägare som har olika behov. Därför behövs även olika typer av naturskydd för att hitta något som passar alla. Människan är del av ekosystemen, och vi skulle inte klara osThe European union and the Convention on biological diversity require 30% of all land to be protected by 2030, stressing the necessity for increased nature conservation. To meet the requirements different forms of protection are needed. Thus, nature conservation agreements (NCA) relevant for further exploration, as they are not used in as large of an extent as other nature conservation types. Thi

De första universiteten i Europa grundades i en tid då samhället var strikt hierarkiskt. Det bestod av sammanslutningar, så kallade korporationer, med olika rättigheter och skyldigheter sinsemellan. Universitetet utvecklades till att bli en sådan korporation. Efterhand tillerkändes vissa korporationer privilegier, inledningsvis av den andliga makten och sedan av den värdsliga. Ett av de privilegieThe first universities in Europe were founded during a time when society was strictly hierarchical. It consisted of various associations, so called corporations, each with their own different rights and obligations. The university developed to become such a corporation. Subsequently, certain privileges were granted certain corporations, at first by the spiritual power and later by the worldly powe

Bakgrund: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter med sensorisk bearbetning, vilket kan påverka aktivitetsförmåga och livskvalitet negativt. Sensorisk modulering har nyligen introducerats som en positiv metod inom vuxenpsykiatrisk verksamhet i Sverige, men arbetsterapeuters kunskap och användning av metoden inom primärvården är ännu outforskad. Syfte: Att undersöka arbetsterapeutersBackground: Individuals with mental health problems often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can negatively affect their ability to engage in activities and reduce quality of life. Sensory modulation has been introduced as a promising approach in adult psychiatric care in Sweden, but occupational therapists' knowledge and application of this method in primary health care re

The increase of shrub extent in arid and semi-arid environments is reducing the species richness all over the globe. This process of shrub encroachment was found to result from changes in anthropogenic land use, especially from too high or too low grazing intensity. The Great Alvar on the island Öland, Sweden, is a unique grassland ecosystem with a high species richness. Changes in land use patte

Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they

In 2003, the Kimberley Process, a public-private partnership gathering governments, the diamond industry and several civil society organizations, entered into force. This international scheme, aiming at fighting against conflict diamonds, imposed export bans on diamonds from the Marange Fields in the Eastern part of Zimbabwe and from the Central African Republic. Indeed, evidence of violations of

Urbanization is a process where rural population move to urban places for better job opportunities and facilities. This is a natural process and more or less unavoidable. But when this process takes place rapidly and at large -scale, the urban cities will undergo various changes that will impact the environment. Rapid and large-scale urbanization is mainly observed in developing countries of Asia

The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge of how uncertainty affects decision making processes regarding carbon footprint. This study explores companies' perspectives on what uncertainties they experience, how these uncertainties affect their decision making processes and how the companies handle these uncertainties. The study’s data is generated through semi-structured intervie

Inhibition of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) aggregation is an important goal due to the connection of this process with Alzheimer's disease. Traditionally, inhibitors were developed with an aim to retard the overall macroscopic aggregation. However, recent advances imply that approaches based on mechanistic insights may be more powerful. In such approaches, the microscopic steps underlying the aggregatio

This seems a plausible principle as long as it is applied only to fixed populations. However, once this restrict

In the present paper, an optimization of the draw-in of an automotive sheet metal part has been carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Space Mapping technique. The optimization adjusts the drawbead restraining force in the model such that the draw-in in the FE model corresponds to the draw-in in the physical process. The conclusion of this study is that Space Mapping is a very ef
