The aim of this chapter is to contribute to the knowledge on the organization of work in the textile supply chain on the eve of industrialization. To do this we make a case-study of Herman Krutmeijers Hosiery and textile factory which was active in Malmö between 1768 and 1784. We are especially interested in the role of the spinners and try to answer three specific questions: what did the organiza

People depend on the benefits derived from nature, so called ecosystem services (ES). ES are a promising framework to evaluate ecosystems and promote conservation, but they are also difficult to measure and visualize, and the accuracy of such efforts is questionable as a basis for land management. In this thesis, I both measured and problematized the measurement of ES. In the first part of this th

As almost three out of four EU citizens live in urban areas and this number is expected to further grow, studies on urban ecosystems and their services are crucial to understand a city’s environmental structure and capabilities. The European Commission has published a relative report which suggests an urban ecosystem condition indicator framework, yet without suggesting respective thresholds tha

Outsourcing and contract manufacturing have developed as effective business strategies for electronics manufacturing services in the recent years. Most Consumer Electronic brand firms do not actually make the consumer products they sell but hire contract manufacturers, mostly in the developing world. Asia is currently the major production base of mobile phones for instance, with China and ASEAN ac

Artificiell intelligens får ett allt större utrymme i den allmänna debatten och dess användningsområde växer hela tiden. Ett användningsområde som blivit allt är Kreativ AI. Kreativ AI syftar till att återskapa den mänskliga kreativiteten genom att skapa konstnärliga och litterära alster. Denna uppsats syftar till att belysa och besvara några av de centrala upphovsrättsliga utmaningarna och frågesArtificial intelligence is gaining more and more room in the public debate, and its field of application is constantly growing. One area of use that has become bigger is computational creativity. Computational creativity aims to recreate human creativity by creating artistic and literary works. This essay aims to highlight and answer some of the vital copyright challenges and issues posed by Compu

Uppsatsen undersöker skattetilläggsfrågan i anslutning till en inkomstskatterättslig bedömning av inkomster genom carried interest. Carried interest är en särskild typ av vinstfördelning som kan berättiga till asymmetriska vinster inom riskkapitalstrukturer. För närvarande saknas specifika lagregler i Inkomstskattelagen (1999:1299) som avgör hur dessa inkomster ska beskattas. Skattetillägg är en The thesis examines the issue of tax surcharges in connection with an income tax assessment of carried interest. Carried interest is a specific type of profit-sharing arrangement that can entitle individuals to asymmetric returns within private equity structures. Currently, there are no specfic provisions within the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229) determining how such income should be taxed. A

This thesis investigates the evolving legal status of Sports Governing Bod-ies (SGBs) like UEFA and FIFA under EU law. It specifically questions whether their regulatory frameworks and practices align with EU competi-tion law and free movement principles. The research heavily relies on the analysis of recent pivotal court decisions, including the December Rulings and Diarra. The thesis begins by

Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) is a crucial analytical tool employed by Novo Nordisk for the assessment of potential aggregation in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) derived from peptides and protein biopharmaceuticals. This investigation focuses on SEC analyses conducted under denaturing conditions, utilizing Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HULK) adapted columns. Intrigui

Demand for plant products has increased in recent years. To produce a vegetable yogurt with good taste and with the right consistency is problematic without the milk protein casein. Product development of a vegetable yoghurt type product was made. Collaboration with Veg of Lund AB was performed on their currently existing products My Foodie blueberries, raspberry and sea buckthorn with a focus on

Introduction: Cancer is classified into several stages, being more difficult to cure in later stages. Thus, early detection is important. This project aims to help the development of a non-invasive method for early cancer detection using hair samples. Background: Isotopes are known to leave a temporary and geographical signature in different samples. Capillon Analytics AB uses isotopes to detect c

“When the confirmation call came in, I was excited and happy but when they lauded my abstract for being outstanding, my heart melted with joy as I knew whom to thank,” Violla Nabawanda. Violla, 36, had always wanted to publish for an International Journal. Her efforts to make this a reality were ever futile. She figured it was because of her limited knowledge in evidence-based research writing. Th

Efficient and clean production of electrical and mechanical energy for use in industry, transportation and propulsion is currently a concern. The transition from fossil fuels to biofuels involves challenges related to the fuel composition and combustion, as well as methods to increase engine fuel flexibility. One potentially useful tool under development is Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC), where

Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators have fascinating physical properties which are promising for applications within spintronics. In order to realize spintronic devices working at room temperature, materials with a large nontrivial gap are needed. Bismuthene, a 2D layer of Bi atoms in a honeycomb structure, has recently attracted strong attention because of its record-large nontrivial gap,

The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. LL-37 displays direct antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogens, but also modulates the immune responses by ac

Fungi and bacteria are the two principal microbial groups in soil, responsible for the breakdown of organic matter (OM). The relative contribution of fungi and bacteria to decomposition is thought to impact biogeochemical cycling at the ecosystem scale, whereby bacterially dominated decomposition supports the fast turnover of easily available substrates, whereas fungal-dominated decomposition lead
