The following study is a qualitative study of how the food industry has influenced policymaking regarding the implementation of a sugar tax within the EU. Through Pieter Bowen’s theory of access, stakeholders’ access to Efsa has been analyzed and the authority’s critical resource has been identified, in order to understand how the authority provides it. The study shows, in accordance with the theoThe following study is a qualitative study of how the food industry has influenced policymaking regarding the implementation of a sugar tax within the EU.

The complexities of organizational coordination’s communicative constitution: A qualitative study on coordinators activities in BPO-environments. The notion of organizational coordination has a limited view of language and communication since scholars usually refer to communication purely as a referential system. Rather problematic is that the notion of business process outsourcing refers to organ

Detta arbete är en översiktlig utvärdering av de konsekvenser som en förtätning i villaområden i Malmö kan tänkas bära med sig. Ett villaområde utgör typiskt en exklusiv boendemiljö i staden, med ett begränsat utbud av boendeformer och en trög omflyttning på bostadsmarknaden. Försöken i arbetet belyser att villaområden generellt har kapacitet att hysa fler hushåll, bli mer inkluderande och fungeraThis report is an evaluation on a general scale, concerning the consequences of densifying single housing areas in Malmö. An area consisting of single homes typically makes out a priviliged living environment, with a uniform range of homes, regarding residential sizes and forms for tenure, and a slow turnover in the housing market. This report attempts to show that single housing areas in general

För att utvärdera en relativt ny typ av filterbottensystem som finns installerat i ett flertal vattenverk i Sverige så gjordes en bedömning av samspelet mellan ett snabbfilters prestanda och dess filterbottensystem. Målet var att bedöma filterbottensystemets påverkan på kvaliteten av det filtrerade vattnet och på energikonsumtionen under backspolningsprocessen och att använda denna information för

The thesis studies the situation within Lund University in relation to the implementation of the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) developed by The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA). The aim of the study is to answer the following research question “How have Lund University implemented the European Standards and Guidelines developed by The European Associa

Koppar-guld fyndigheten Nautanen är belägen 75 km norr om polcirkeln, och 10 km nordost om Gällivare i norra Sverige. Fyndigheten ligger endast 8 km från den stora apatit-järnmalmen i Malmberget och 15 km norr om en av Europas största kopparproducenter, porfyrkoppar-(guld)malmen Aitik. Nautanen beskrivs som en järnoxid-koppar-guld (IOCG) fyndighet eller en hybrid IOCG med en kärna av höghaltiga reThe Nautanen Cu-Au deposit is located 75 km north of the Arctic circle, and 10 km northeast of the town of Gällivare in northern Sweden. Nautanen is just 8 km west of the giant Malmberget apatite-iron ore deposit and 15 km north of one of Europe’s largest copper producers, the Aitik Cu (Au) porphyry deposit. Nautanen is described as an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit or hybrid IOCG and conta

This thesis offers a study on the performance of the short-term/long-term model by Schwartz and Smith (2000) in the copper futures market for the period 1993-07-21 to 2013-03-05. The model's performance is evaluated in terms of its ability to model the term structure of copper futures prices, and is for this purpose compared to two one-factor benchmark models, an Orstein-Uhlenbeck process and

In the past decades, the laser technology market for industrial material processing has grown by double digits. Nowadays, material processing by high power laser represents the almost irreplaceable solution for many needs. The company SEI S.p.A., based in Curno, Italy, requested a solid-state laser suitable for fast marking application. A Nd:YVO4 crystal in end-pumped configuration was chosen in o

Land acquisitions have increased significantly over the last decade and claims have been made that these actions are both neo-colonial and wrong. Others claim that there are benefits to be gained for all parties, directly and indirectly involved. When land is being sold or leased from poor farmers to rich corporations what are the potentials and what are the limitations? Are livelihoods, displacem

During the 90s, the Swedish government implemented a series of neoliberal housing policies in search of a wayout for the economic crisis, including demolition of the ministry of housing, deregulations and disincentivising housing construction, which has created decline in housing production and privatisation of municipal housing companies. The neoliberal policy reform was attributed to the shortag

I övergången till en cirkulär ekonomi använder industrier i allt högre grad återvunnet material för att minska klimatpåverkan från sina produkter. Den ökade efterfrågan på återvunnet material drivs av både EU-direktiv och konsumenters preferenser. Både flask- och polyesterfiberindustrin ser potential i att möta EU:s krav och konsumenters efterfrågan genom att ersätta jungfruligt material med återvIn the transition towards a circular economy, industries are increasingly adopting recycled materials to decrease the climate impact of their products, driven by both regulatory requirements and consumer demand. The bottle and polyester fiber industries both recognize the potential to comply with EU policies and consumer preferences by replacing virgin material with recycled PET. Due to its desira

This study contributes to the growing literature on mobile work by examining the coordination of safety practices in public transport in Stockholm. We explore how safety, a critical and evolving theme in mobility studies, intersects with mobile work and its associated coordination challenges. Since the introduction of safety policies, security guards have focused on ‘circulatory maintenance’, a pr

Capturing ultrafast phenomena requires imaging techniques capable of resolving events occurring on femtosecond time scales. Traditional high-speed cameras are limited by electronic readout speeds and cannot reach the terahertz (THz) frame rates necessary to observe processes such as laser filamentation, plasma formation, or light-matter interactions in general. To overcome these limitations, this

Businesses play a key role in transforming production and consumption for sustainability,where circular business models (CBMs) offer one solution to reduce waste and rethink resource use.Although CBMs may be able to provide environmental and economic benefits, it is unclear how they canbe implemented effectively and contribute to sustainability goals. To understand how CBMs cancontribute to broade

New mapping and laboratory studies of the impactites at the Gardnos impact structure (Norway) show a variety of impact-deformed rocks. Our mapping and petrographic analyses have subdivided these breccias into three distinct categories: (a) melt-bearing sueivitic breccias, melt-bearing polymict breccias; (b) melt-free, polymict lithic impact breccias; and (c) monomict lithic impact breccias.
