This research aims to fill the knowledge gap with regards to food waste prevention with a specific focus on quick service restaurants (QSRs) – also known as fast food restaurants. Restaurants are in a prime position to reduce food waste produced in the consumptive stages of the food supply chain, and more focus should be placed on how restaurants can help achieve food waste reduction targets. The

För att ett barn ska kunna omhändertas utan dennes eller föräldrarnas samtycke krävs antingen att det föreligger brister i den unges hemmiljö eller i dennes beteende. Dessutom krävs att en prognos görs från förvaltningsrättens sida huruvida dessa brister utgör en påtaglig risk för att den unges hälsa och utveckling skadas. Rekvisitet påtaglig risk ersatte 1990 de tidigare rekvisiten fara respektiIn order to take a child into custody without the consent of the child or its parents it is necessary that there are deficiencies in the child’s home environment or in his or her behaviour. In addition, there also has to be a significant risk that the child’s health and development will be harmed. The term significant risk has been in use since the law was renewed in 1990 when it replaced the old

This thesis investigates the traditional role of women in society through looking at five novels about women by women.

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

It has been argued that harmonization leads to a more effective delivery of aid to recipient countries, and ultimately to the target population and thus cooperation in general would be an adequate means to achieve this goal. However, the implementation of the Paris Agenda has so far progressed slowly. Vietnam is often reported as a case where cooperation between donors is working fine. By making u

This paper deals with how the emerging strand of theorizing – systems of innovation – interprets the determinants of the rate and direction of the innovation process and its implications for policy measures therein. The immense impact technical change has had on economic growth in the past roughly 200 years has demanded an overdue attention since the second half of the twentieth century.And now a

Faced with the increasing concern about the effect of greenhouse gases in global warming, Carbon Capture and Storage technologies are developed. Oxy-combustion is one of these techniques; it consists of separating the nitrogen from the air and using the O2 (diluted in CO2) as an oxidant so that the resulting flue gases are mainly composed by carbon dioxide and water vapour and the capture of CO2 c

Purpose: The purpose is to map current measures in the main process Supplying and to select those that can be used to support the core process Plan & Secure Supply. Further, recommendations of new suitable measures for Plan & Secure Supply shall be given. Method: This is a qualitative study, mainly based on answers from semi-structured interviews with employees at IKEA. 51 interviews, with

The purpose with this study is to enhance our knowledge about virtual co-creation by investigating in the underlying role of the co-creating consumer and how companies manage co-creation as well as studying how power is distributed within this consumer- company relationship. The research undertakes a qualitative research strategy with an abductive methodological approach. Netnography is the chosen

Japanese is being thought of as a heavily culture-laden language. In this thesis we will take a look into seven Japanese concepts that are said to reveal something extra about Japanese culture. These Japanese cultural key words are studied by a Polish linguist named Anna Wierzbicka and with the assistance of her research in Natural Semantic Metalanguage, she is trying to unlock these concepts to c

I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor

Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t

Under 2008 svarade EU:s offentliga upphandling för 17-18 procent av EU:s BNP. Huruvida offentliga medel skall kunna användas som instrument för att förverkliga politiska ambitioner eller om upphandlande myndighet endast skall ta hänsyn till ekonomiska aspekter har varit föremål för diskussion. Jag har valt att kartlägga de normgivande regelverk som reglerar arbetsrättslig hänsyn vid offentlig upphIn 2008 public procurement made up 17-18 percent of the EU GDP. The issue of whether the disbursement of public funds can be used to promote social objectives, including preservation of labour law requirements or whether public authorities only shall take economic considerations into account when deciding what to purchase, has been subject to discussion. In this thesis, I have chosen to describe t

This thesis is dedicating to analysis the contribution of Knutpunkten building which is located in Helsingborg southern Sweden with regards to its visual impact role on the society and environment from its visual appearance of the elements of design mainly colour and light element. Different philosophical conceptions of colour and light from different theoretician notion is using as a main empiric

Objective Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare disease that can result in severe bleeding in a fetus or newborn, including intracranial hemorrhage. Maternal-fetal human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a incompatibility is a prerequisite to maternal HPA-1a alloimmunization, which may result in FNAIT. The risk of HPA-1a alloimmunization is approximately 25-times higher in HPA-1

Absorption bands of photosynthetic and other biological pigment-protein complexes undergo dramatic variations in position and shape upon changing the temperature. In this paper we have reviewed a calculation algorithm to simulate the temperature dependence of electronic spectra coupled to any number of vibrations with arbitrary coupling strength. A number of computer simulations is carried out in
