With the dawn of the digital era, software solutions are becoming of increasingly strategic importance for corporations, and due to the complexity of the products and the huge lock-in effects which they often give rise to, software-procurement is growing into a critical activity. However, due to the phenomena of information overload, finding and making use of the right information when making stra
Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d
The paper aims at discussing the potential of the Belarus’ national mechanism of constitutional control to maintain the adherence of this post-soviet State to national and international human rights standards. At the outset, the paper provides an overview of the theoretical understanding of constitutional control as an appropriate mechanism of protecting and promoting human rights in the context o
Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th
In this thesis the implementation of fundamental democratic values in municipal multi-party elected councils, Hamn- och gatunämnden and Barn- och utbildningsnämnden in Varberg, is discussed. A discussion about what implications expert knowledge can have in the decision-making process is also conducted. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part an empirical analysis of ideas is conducted
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda artikel 17.3.a i Europeiska unionens förordning 2016/679, gällande behandling av personuppgifter, ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Artikel 17 i förordningen stadgar en juridisk rätt för registrerade att i vissa fall kräva att personuppgifter raderas. Artikel 17.3.a stadgar att denna rätt till radering av information inte gäller om behandlingen av informationeThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine article 17.3.a in regulation 2016/679 of the European Union, regarding the processing of personal data, from a perspective of legality. Article 17 in the regulation settles, under certain circumstances, a legal right for the data subject to have personal data deleted. Article 17.3.a settles that this right to have information deleted shall not appl
Knowledge transfer and learning in strategic alliances is mentioned in the literature as a business instrument to gain new knowledge in order to innovate and improve the competitive advantage. Most of the existing literature has been focusing on large organisations. Therefore, a better understanding about small and medium enterprises (hereafter referred to as SMEs) is necessary. By using a qualita
Death is the prerequisite of life, life the prerequisite of death, just like chaos and order, light and shadow, joy and despair, love and grief, are each other's premises. When life breaks into pieces, despair may ensue, but darkness offers possibilities to tap into the light. The use of experiential somatic practices and creative expressions can reach deep and help illuminate conscious and uncons
We were interested in catalogers as human beings and in their reaction to a changed working situation. In the light of the changes which have been made at the libraries during the nineties, we investigated why the very group catalogers reacted with an intense and engaged open debate at the same time as librarians with special competence didn t seem to react in this way. The open debate about the c
It is said that Malmö, in the past few decades, has taken on a more entrepreneurial role in order to adjust to an increasing inter-urban competition. The new conditions of urban development mean that marketing plays an increasingly important role. In the marketing of Malmö, the city is being portrayed as successful, creative and attractive. The past few decades have, however, also entailed an incr
Organisationers ökade engagemang för hållbarhetsfrågor, kan idag ses som en re-aktion av att omvärlden i allt större utsträckning förväntar sig mer än endast en förskönad fasad. Både interna och externa intressenter kräver allt mer pålitliga or-ganisationer med autenticitet och substans. För att leva upp till omvärldens krav krävs det en stark organisation med distinkt organisationsidentitet som bThe increased commitment to corporate social responsibility, seen among organi-zations, can today be viewed as a reaction to the fact that the outside world increa-singly expects more than an embellished façade. Both internal and external stake-holders demand more and more dependable organizations with authenticity and substance. When building a strong organization - to succeed in creating a stron
When a parent dies, a person’s life comes to an end while others are forever changed. The aim of this thesis is to explore and identify the needs of bereaved children and to investigate how professionals within the Swedish public health care system, work to support children in grief. The empirical part of this study was conducted over the course of two months in 2013. Four hospital counselors and
This contribution presents a novel process analytical technology (PAT) software interface for online monitoring and control of commercial high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems. The developed interface is an add-on to chromatography control software and uses industry-standard bidirectional communication protocols to link sensor technologies with the individual HPLC system components in
The most important moment in product development is when demands and specifications are decided for the product that is being planned. The specification defines the goal for the product development process. It is a very important steering opportunity for the continuing work and for environmentally driven demands that are to be addressed in the product development phase. The designers are said to h
Manual gestures and speech form a single integrated system during nativelanguage comprehension. However, it remains unclear whether this hold forsecond language (L2) comprehension, more specifically for simultaneousinterpreting (SI), which involves comprehension in one language and simultaneousproduction in another. In a combined mismatch and priming paradigm,we presented Swedish speakers fluent i
There has been much progress in the field of nanofluidics, and novel applications, such as single-cell analysis, have been achieved. In such cases, controlling the location of the gas/liquid interface is vital and partial hydrophobic modification is frequently used to pin the position of this interface. However, because the fluid manipulating pressure in such devices is comparable to the Laplace p
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have garnered significant interest as promising candidates for nanoscale optoelectronic applications due to their excellent optical properties. Axially heterostructured CsPbBr3-CsPb(Br(1-x)Clx)3 nanowires can be produced by localized anion exchange of pregrown CsPbBr3 nanowires. However, characterizing such heterostructures with sufficient strain and real space reso
The following paper is a compilation of the ongoing Swedish PhD-project “Multifunctional streets in the city - towards a more attractive city for all users and stakeholders”. In focus are arterial streets, i.e. highly multifunctional traffic environments characterized of conflicting functions, with an extensive mix of traffic modes, activities and interests. The aim of the project is to clarify an
