The number of supply chain disruptions has increased over the last couple of years. The Covid-19 Pandemic, blockage of the Suez Canal and Russian invasion of Ukraine are some well-known examples of disruptions. Academia seems to have noticed the increasing disruptions and has explored proactive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as an approach to address this. Consulting firms also suggest compan
In 1964, a theory was presented on how an invisible field is acting in nature, which causes mass to arise. The theory gives an explanation of how something can come from nothing and thus takes humanity one step closer to understanding how the universe works. Proving the theory was problematized by the fact that no experiments could be conducted since particle accelerators at the time weren't p
Due to a combination of economic challenges as well as uncertain policy conditions in the United States and the European Union, the development of (advanced) biorefineries has been slower than anticipated. This has hampered the transition to a more sustainable and less carbon-intensive economy, namely the bioeconomy. In this thesis, the technological innovation system (TIS) approach is combined wi
Förekomsten av juridiskt oskolade som ett inslag i den dömande verksamheten, är ett fenomen som existerar världen över. I Sverige har institutionen med s.k. nämndemän länge varit en del av rättssystemet. Dess rötter härstammar från det medeltida samhället, men systemet har under åren modifierats flertalet gånger och inflytandet på rättskipningen har varierat. Det huvudsakliga syftet och dess viktiThe presence of non-judicially educated in courts is a recurring phenomenon all over the world. In Sweden, the institution with lay judges (in Sweden; nämndemän) has a long history in the judiciary. It originates from the medieval era, but has over the years been modified several times and the institution’s influence over the administration of justice has varied over the years. However, the purpos
The rise of China and 1978-market reforms contrasts other post-socialist economies process of institutional and economic change. President Deng Xiaoping announced China’s continued commitment to socialism, yet his leadership is by some viewed to be the most radical social and economic transformation in contemporary Chinese history. One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Chinese reform period
The number of species classified as red-listed has increased by 11% between 2015 and 2020, with beetles and butterflies being especially affected. Among these are the vulnerable longhorned beetle (Stictoleptura scutellata) and the endangered false blister beetle (Ischnomera sanguinicollis). Forty percent of all known species in Sweden are dependent on hostplants, indicating the value in mapping po
Risk communication forms an integral part of disaster preparedness. In light of the increasing likelihood and intensity of forest fires, areas like Canton Bern in Switzerland, not usually known as a forest fire hotspot, have planned to strengthen their risk communication efforts to help increase overall preparedness and mitigation. Using the example of forest fires, this paper will shed light on t
Alla människor har rätt till hälsa enligt artikel 12 Konventionen om ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella rättigheter (ICESCR) och artikel 35 i EU:s rättighetsstadga (stadgan). För många människor är läkemedel livsviktiga. Emellertid har läkemedelsbolag med patenträttigheter en möjlighet till fri prissättning. Företag behöver tjäna pengar för att kunna forska fram nya produkter och läkemedelsbolag kAccess to pharmaceuticals can be vital for a lot of people. The public’s right to health is ensured by article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and by article 35 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European union (the EU Charter). However, pharmaceutical companies with patent rights can charge whatever price they want on medicines. Companies
Klimatförändringarna och följderna av dessa har upprepade gånger utpekats som en av vår tids ödesfrågor. Fokus har fram tills relativt nyligen till övervägande del legat på hur klimatförändringar kan förhindras genom utsläppsbegränsningar och omställning till ett mer hållbart samhälle. I och med att kunskaperna ökat synes det dock idag stå klart att flertalet av klimatförändringarnas effekter redaClimate change and its consequences have long been viewed as one of the defining challenges of our time. The focus of research pertaining to climate change have until recently been overwhelmingly focused on the issue of mitigation while adaptation to climate change has received comparatively little attention. But, as the realization has dawned that many consequences of climate change are already b
För och nackdelar med ett human traffickingnarrativ Human trafficking har, under 2000-talet, erhållit mycket uppmärksamhet, något som har resulterat i uppkomsten av ett dominerande internationellt traffickingnarrativ. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och problematisera Europarådets Group of experts on action against trafficking in human beings (GRETA:s) narrativ om barntrafficking. MotiThe pros and cons of a human trafficking narrative. Human trafficking has, in the 21st century, received substantial attention, which has resulted in the manifestation of a dominant international trafficking narrative. The pur-pose of this essay is to examine and problematize the European Councils Group of ex-perts on action against trafficking in human beings (GRETA:s) narrative regarding child
Dagens arbetsmarknad har blivit allt mer rörlig och individer har fler möjligheter gällande valet av arbetsplats än vad de under tidigare decennier haft. Humankapitalet har även kommit att ses som en allt mer betydande faktor för organisationers konkurrenskraft. Dessa aspekter har i sin tur lett fram till att en organisations arbete med employer branding kommit att spela en allt mer väsentlig roll
The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm
A series of tests were performed to explore the limits of two capacitive level sensors using the principle of parallel finger layout (sometimes called comb fingers) for sensing. The goal was to present a decision basis for Baxter to use when choosing a sensor to implement in their next generation hemodialysis machine. The devices under tests were 1) sensor type A: developed in-house and 2) sensor
The municipality of Helsingborg, located in Scania implemented the Livskvalitetsprogrammet (The programme of living quality) in 2016. The goal with the programme is to unite sustainable development and quality of life. The work with the programme will continue towards 2024. I was given the assignment to research the knowledge of the programme throughout the organisation. The questionnaire is to be
Mountains provide a variety of ecosystem services, such as drinking water, which sustains not only mountain communities but also people living further downstream. While climate change threatens most ecosystems, its negative impacts are up to three times greater in high altitudes. As well as changing the water cycle this further accelerates climate change. Although they contribute comparably little
This study aims to examine how the sensitivity for macroeconomic announcements surprises changes for the exchange rate in terms of a crisis. Previous research has been biased for U.S announcements and their relation towards emerging market, which has shown that U.S announcements affect more than the domestic. It also suggests that business cycle and uncertainty affect and increase the reaction for
Medborgarnas politiska delaktighet har en central roll i en god demokrati. För att uppnå politiskt deltagande, främst bland de grupper i samhället som sällan deltar, använder många svenska kommuner sig idag av medborgardialog. Medborgardialog innebär att politiker och tjänstemän bjuder in till samtal för att diskutera olika frågor som berör medborgarnas intressen. Denna uppsats är en normativ stud
The problem: wearable eye trackers deliver eye-tracking data on a scene video that is acquired by a camera affixed to the participant’s head. Analyzing and interpreting such head-centered data is difficult and laborious manual work. Automated methods to map eye-tracking data to a world-centered reference frame (e.g., screens and tabletops) are available. These methods usually make use of fiducial
Platform trials have become widely adopted across multiple disease areas over recent years, however, guidelines for operationalising these trials have not kept pace. We outline a series of documents that summarise the statistical components, and implicit processes, of the Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial to provide an informal template for other researchers and reviewer
