Three different models (STEP–GENDEC–NOflux, Zhang2010, and Surfatm) are used to simulate NO, CO2, and NH3 fluxes at the daily scale for 2 years (2012–2013) in a semi-arid grazed ecosystem at Dahra (15∘24′10′′ N, 15∘25′56′′ W, Senegal, Sahel). Model results are evaluated against experimental results acquired during three field campaigns. At the end of the dry season, when the first rains re-wet the
Background: Both bullying victimization and perpetration were associated with depression, social phobia, physical and psychological child abuse and Internet addiction in Lebanon. The prevalence of bullying in Lebanon is alarming, with 50% of school-aged children and adolescents reporting being bullied at some point. The high rate of both bullying victimization can be reflective of the inefficacy o
Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population. Materials and methods: We analyzed n = 6346 men and women enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Prediabetes was defined using American Diabetes Association guidelines. The sample was randomly partitioned to Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population.

After years of secretive, back-door negotiations, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was finally revealed to the public on November 5, 2015. While the TPP has been regarded by some as the “gold standard” for free trade agreements in the twenty-first century, a wide spectrum of political opposition has continued formed around the deal. This paper builds on the growing body of critical scholarship
The integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is steadily increasing, which introduces challenges such as voltage fluctuations, reduced system stability, and lower power quality. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can support the grid by providing services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving, contributing to a more stable and energy-efficient power system.
In this thesis, the traditional way of conducting chromatographic separation by linear elution was re-evaluated by introducing variable elution buffer trajectories in the mobile phase. Through numerical simulation of ion exchange chromatography using a finite volume method approach, various salt concentration profiles were optimized for improving the separation of components, using yield and produ
I denna uppsats undersöks hur prisjusteringsbestämmelsen i AB 04 och AB 25 (som är avsedd att ersätta AB 04) ska tolkas, med särskilt fokus på om rekvisiten om väsentlighet och oförutsebarhet kan tolkas i ljuset av hardshipklausulerna i DCFR, UPICC och PECL. Flera författare i den juridiska litteraturen uppmärksammar likheter mellan regleringarna. De aktuella bestämmelserna, AB 04 kap. 6 § 3 och AThis thesis examines how the price adjustment provision in AB 04 and AB 25 (which is intended to replace AB 04) should be interpreted, with a particular focus on whether the provision can be interpreted in light of the hardship clauses in DCFR, UPICC and PECL. Several authors in the legal literature have noted similarities between these regulations. The relevant provisions, AB 04 Chapter 6, Sectio
Sociala medier har blivit en central arena där konsumtionsrelaterat innehåll, trender och knapphetspräglade produkter sprids i ett snabbt tempo mellan konsumenter. Samtidigt har användningen av knapphetstaktiker såsom begränsade upplagor och tidsbegränsade erbjudanden blivit allt vanligare inom marknadsföring. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på sambandet mellan knapphetstaktiker, FOMO och
Lag (2021:787) om klimatdeklaration för byggnader anger i dagsläget inga gränsvärden för utsläpp av växthusgaser vid uppförandet av byggnader. Om ett förslag från Boverket om ändring av lagen antas kan dock gränsvärden för klimatpåverkan regleras i lag redan sommaren 2025. I väntan på lagstiftning regleras gränsvärden för klimatpåverkan i klausuler i entreprenadavtal. Syftet med denna uppsats är aThe Act (2021:787) on climate declaration for buildings currently does not state any limit values for greenhouse gas emissions during the construction of buildings. However, if a proposal from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning regarding an amendment to the act is adopted, limit values for climate impact could be regulated by law in 2025. Pending legislation, limit values
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore and develop an understanding of the rather unexplored phenomenon of using flagship stores in the FMCG industry. We want to explore what an FMCG flagship store is to understand why it is used in the context of strategic brand management. Moreover, we want to develop an understanding of how the brand experience might influence the consumer-bran

Abstract Analysis of CTENTM building system Approximately 40 % of the total energy consumption in Sweden is being consumed in the building market. The introduction of passive houses to the market have created circumstances for a reduction of nearly half the energy consumption compared with today’s energy regulations. The idea of how to do this is well known but has never gained any foothold until
The purpose of this paper is to study the impact the coal industry in el Cerrejón has had on the indigenous Wayúu population at the north of Colombia. The issue is addressed in through a human right lens discussing the importance of environmental and indigenous rights, which are not yet included in any legal document of the United Nations. The topic of environmental and indigenous rights is furthe
Despite a number of corporate governance reforms introduced following an Anglo-American blueprint, the Swedish corporate governance system still contains several country-specific traits. In this article, we try to understand this continuity of the national corporate governance system. We do this by outlining a model for describing the processes of change built on Mary Douglas’ (1986) theory of ‘inDespite a number of corporate governance reforms introduced following an Anglo-American blueprint, the Swedish corporate governance system still contains several country-specific traits.

Anthropogenic activities, such as using fossil fuels for energy production, synthesizing carbon-based products, and employing nitrogen fertilizers to meet the ever-growing food demand, have drastically disrupted the planet's carbon and nitrogen cycles. These activities effectively lead to global warming, eutrophication, and NOx production. Hence, the world is in need of coming up with new sust
