“Diversify or die” is a recurring and rather dramatic call for organizations to recruit, retain and manage a demographically diverse workforce, advocated by the business case for diversity, also known as diversity management philosophy. Diversity management places diverse social identities at the heart of organizational success and has gained much attention from management consultants and managers
Extn. of lignin from kraft black liquor is one method of lowering the large energy surplus in pulp mills. The lignin can be used as a bio-fuel to replace fossil fuels in heat or power generation, and the lignin-depleted black liquor can be reused in the cooking operation. As kraft black liquor lignin has a fairly high mol. wt., ultrafiltration can be used to selectively fractionate lignin from coo
The use of mobility devices, such as walking sticks and rollators, increases during the ageing process. Our aim was to explore how very old single-living Swedish women experience the use of mobility devices over time, in relation to everyday occupation. A multiple case study strategy involving quantitative and qualitative data was used. The findings indicate that the use of mobility devices, rolla
Previous studies demonstrated that neuropeptides are transported with fast axonal transport. Considerable amounts (30-40%) of anterogradely transported peptides accumulated distal to a crush, apparently recycling to the cell bodies. In the present study, we used primary and compartmented cultures of sympathetic cervical ganglia (SCG) to address questions on the origin of the recycling peptides. In
Foundations of buildings and structures are laid with various methods, both deep and shallow foundations. Piling is the most common method of deep foundations while spread footings are often used in shallow foundations, especially in buildings with column frame. An alternative is to use a composite pile foundation where piles and spread footings or piles and a base slab are used to carry the loads
Electromechanical metal oxides, such as piezoceramics, are often incompatible with soft polymers due to their crystallinity requirements, leading to high processing temperatures. This study explores the potential of ceria-based thin films as electromechanical actuators for flexible electronics. Oxygen-deficient fluorites, like cerium oxide, are centrosymmetric nonpiezoelectric crystalline metal ox
Ti3C2Tx MXene (or "MXene" for simplicity) has gained noteworthy attention for its metal-like electrical conductivity and high electrochemical capacitance-a unique blend of properties attractive toward a wide range of applications such as energy storage, healthcare monitoring, and electromagnetic interference shielding. However, processing MXene architectures using conventional methods often deals
Searches for new physics (NP) at particle colliders typically involve multivariate analysis of kinematic distributions of final state particles produced in a decay of a hypothetical NP resonance. Since the pair-production cross-sections mediated by such resonances are strongly suppressed by the NP scale, this analysis becomes less relevant for NP searches for masses of the BSM resonance above 1 Te
mmWave communication has come up as the unexplored spectrum for 5G services. With new standards for 5G NR positioning, more off-the-shelf platforms and algorithms are needed to perform indoor positioning. An object can be accurately positioned in a room either by using an angle and a delay estimate or two angle estimates or three delay estimates. We propose an algorithm to jointly estimate the ang
Capacities for source localization in response to incidents involving radioactive materials are essential for effective, efficient response. In this context, the directional response of a detection system is of importance. Many solutions currently employed for source localization involve approaches that may be onerous with respect to cost, complexity and practicality for field operations. To avoid
Previous studies have suggested that the development of diabetes in the BB rats does not require the expression of T lymphopenia. In order to derive non-lymphopenic diabetic rats and define the relationship between the T cell abnormalities, MHC genotype, and diabetes, we performed a cross between BB/H and diabetes resistant BB/control followed by an intercross of the F1. In the F2, the overall inc
The transglycosylation behavior and capacity of two clan GH-D α-galactosidases, BoGal36A from the gut bacterium Bacteroides ovatus and Aga27A from the guar plant, was investigated and compared. The enzymes were screened for the ability to use para-nitrophenyl-α-galactoside (pNP-Gal), raffinose and locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan as glycosyl donors with the glycosyl acceptors methanol, propanol
The wall flameholder is one of the credible alternatives to realize pilot ignition in augmented/ramjet combustors. To overcome the ablation for a long-term operation, two types of jet cooling, external-inhaled air and pressure-driven jet cooling, are proposed for the wall flameholder. In this work, the flow and combustion process in a laboratory scale rig is studied for different cooling schemes a
In the wake of an aesthetic capitalism, the cultural and creative industries (CCI) have become a growing and thriving sector of Western and other economies. Cultural entrepreneurial processes propel the CCI and their regime of aesthetic innovation and constitute constantly evolving art worlds. My dissertation focuses on the material-affective dimensions of these art worlds. It explores cultural en
Natural selection has produced diverse vision systems, from simple patches of photoreceptors to complex camera eyes, representing just one set of evolutionary outcomes. Computational evolution offers a way to systematically test hypotheses, isolate individual factors, and ask the “why” questions behind vision. We recreate vision evolution by coevolving eyes and behaviors in embodied agents and use
Sb-based semiconductors are critical p-channel materials for III-V complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, while the performance of Sb-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is typically inhibited by the low quality of the channel to gate dielectric interface, which leads to poor gate modulation. In this study, we achieve improved electrostatics of ve

Den här studien syftar till att öka kunskapen kring hur konsumenter förstår och påverkas av det relativt nya fenomenet varumärkesinkongruent marknadskommunikation. Utifrån resultaten från en förstudie utformades fyra fiktiva reklambilder med en varumärkeslogga från ett väletablerat varumärke. Dessa reklambilder utformades i enlighet med tre olika grader av inkongruens. De användes sedan i semi-strThis paper aims to increase the knowledge of how consumers understand the relatively new phenomenon brand incongruency and how it affects them. Based on the result from a pre-study, four fictional advertisements using a logo from a well-established brand were constructed in order to correspond to three different levels of incongruency. These were used in semi-structured interviews in order to exam
