Carrot juice concentrate (CJC) produced from fresh carrots is used in various applications in the beverage industry. Its quality is mainly defined by the carotenoid concentration which in turn strongly depends on the quality of the raw material and the processing technique. Manufacturers are constantly searching for new ways to produce a high-colour CJC. Thermal, enzymatic and mechanical treatment
Climate observations have proven the existence of global warming. Projected climate change and its impacts are of great concern for the Swedish forestry sector. Managing forest ecosystem in changing climate is vital for the forest ecosystems and for the country’s overall development. Because of the long life-span of trees, forests are not capable to rapid adaptation to environmental changes. There
In the transition to more sustainable travel behaviour, there is a need to reduce car mileage for all sorts of trips including everyday leisure trips for social and recreational purposes. In this case study, qualitative interviews were conducted to improve and deepen the understanding of transport mode choice for such trips. The analyses of factors affecting mode choice for everyday leisure purpos
Pollinators benefit from increasing floral resources in agricultural landscapes, which could be an underexplored co-benefit of mass-flowering crop cultivation. However, the impacts of mass-flowering crops on pollinator communities are complex and appear to be context-dependent, mediated by factors such as crop flowering time and the availability of other flower resources in the landscape. A synthe
Environmental destruction has long been used as a military strategy in times of conflict. A long-term example of environmental destruction in a conflict zone can be found in Dersim/Tunceli province, located in Eastern Turkey. In the last century, at least two military operations negatively impacted Dersim’s population and environment: 1937–38 and 1993–94. Both conflict and environmental destructio
The practice of forcing a person to perform work without his or her consent and the denial of freedom to leave work has been part of human history for centuries. Despite great effort by the international community to combat forced labour, this scourge is still a prevalent practice in both developed and developing countries, with old as well as new forms of coercion being carried out every day. Mil
During the last years Ericsson Mobile Platforms (EMP) has seen increasing industry consolidation and that their position in the value chain was threatened. To avoid extinction from the market a merger was necessary to strengthen their position in the value chain, avoid margin stacking and reclaim the competitive edge needed for survival. A thorough analysis of the different players on the market s
Monapostrukturen ligger i Nampula provinsen i norra Moçambique, och utgör en del av Mocambique bältet. Strukturen är ca 35-40 km i diameter och har en mycket låg topografi. Trots detta syns den väl på satellitbilder och flygfotografier. Relationer mellan samt utbredning av de enskilda bergartsleden är inte helt klarlagd och frågor såsom transportriktning, litostratigrafisk uppdelning samt tektonisThe Monapo Structure is situated in the Nampula Subprovince in northern Moçambique, and makes up a part of the Moçambique Orogenic Belt. It is a 35 x 40 km subcircular structure, with a very flat topography, and it clearly shows up on aerial photos. The regional setting of the Monapo Structure is not yet clearly settled and many questions regarding transportation directions, lithostratigraphic gro
This paper addresses the problem of urban transport management in Sofia ? the capital city of Bulgaria. It highlights the tensions and contradictions in the current policy and practice and suggests that the adoption of mobility management in policy making would elevate municipal capacity to deal with complex transport-environment conflicts and set the framework for a sustainable development of the
The development of modern enterprises goes toward more complex supply chains with many links and worldwide transportation. The trend of using centralized warehousing as logistic setup has grown more popular during the last years. This development has created new risks and implied increased vulnerabilities for many enterprises. To manage these issues the area of Business Continuity Management has g
Childlessness is an increasingly visible phenomenon. Once predominantly associated with high-income settings, it now spans diverse cultural, economic, and political contexts, including the Global South. Among recent demographic shifts, childlessness has emerged as one of the most ideologically charged and widely debated topics in public discourse, particularly through media narratives. Although me
Most flowering plants depend on insect pollinators for their reproduction, yet these pollinators have been facing considerable losses in abundance and diversity in recent decades. The ongoing pollinator declines, caused by stressors including land-use and climate change, have raised concerns for species-rich plant communities such as those found in semi-natural grasslands. These communities contai
This paper examines the problems of nature conservation in the Third World. A Pakistani community-based conservation project, the Palas Conservation and Development Project (PCDP), acts as a reference point. A field study was conducted to elicit the preferences of the benefactors and of the beneficiaries, i e the PCDP staff and the locals of the Palas Valley in which the project operates. Four pre
This thesis investigates whether national amnesties for war crimes constitute an inadmissibility ground for a case in the International Criminal Court (hereinafter the ICC). The essence of this problem lies in the conflict between State sovereignty and international cooperation in the fight against impunity for war crimes and consequently between bilateral obligations and obligations erga omnes. M
