In the plant-based beverage industry, a residue called okara, is generated in large quantities in the liquid-solid separation step. Despite the high nutritional value of okara from soy and oat beverages with respect to fiber and protein content, these residues are generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. It would be more sustainable to utilize okara for human consumption, however, th
This study examines the process of gentrification. In so doing, the main aim is to explore a context wherein the process of gentrification is deemed unconventional. The context deemed unconventional is the one beyond the city, more accurately a coastal hamlet called Brantevik, located in the municipality of Simrishamn, in the southeastern part of the Scania region. By investigating whether Brantev
Uppsatsen behandlar beviskravet i brottmål och alternativa hypoteser i förhållande till åklagarens gärningspåstående. Beviskravet innebär att rättens övertygelse om den tilltalades skuld ska vara ställd bortom rimligt tvivel. Eftersom att lagreglering saknas om beviskravet har detta fastställts i praxis. Komplikationerna med ämnet är huvudsakligen att det inte klargjorts utförligt, i varken doktriThe thesis concerns with the evidence requirement in criminal processes and alternative hypotheses in relation to the prosecutor's accusation of crime. The requirement of proof means that the court's conviction of the defendant's debt must be “beyond reasonable doubt”. Due to lack of legislation on the proof requirement, it has instead been established in court practice. The mainly com
Title: A framework for how logistics service providers should handle returns as a warehouse operation for pure e-commerce companies Authors: Louise Meurling and Matilda Sturesson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics at LTH Problem description: Managing the reverse logistics process in a warehouse is a central part of the activities for companies operating in e-commerce.
Den additiva tillverkningsprocessen och kvalificeringen av komponenter i metall är komplex och tillverkningsmetoden är inte ännu fullständigt förstådd. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att förvärva kunskap om kvalificeringsprocesser kopplade till additiv tillverkning i metall och att utveckla en hållbar kvalificering för additivt tillverkade komponenter hos Alfa Laval. KvalificeringsprocedThe process of additive manufacturing and qualification of components in metal is complex, and the manufacturing method is still not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to gather knowledge of the qualification procedures connected to additive manufacturing in metal and to develop sustainable qualification for additively manufactured parts at Alfa Laval. The qualification pro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kommer det sig att liknande reformprogram återfinns i olika länder? Varför väljs vissa idéer framför andra? Avhandlingen syftar till att öka förståelsen av så kallad policydiffusion, spridning av olika typer av policy, och den dynamik som omgärdar spridningen. Detta görs genom att undersöka hur externa, eller utländska, idéer integreras och översätts i en ny omgivniSimilar policies may be found in different countries. This, in turn, is an indication that policies travel. But why are certain policies imitated while others are not? The author seeks to further our understanding of policy diffusion and its dynamics by investigating how foreign ideas are integrated and translated into new contexts, and how these imported ideas influence national policymaking and
Abstract: Purpose – While the importance of measuring customer satisfaction levels is well established, less research exists on how organizations operationalize such knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to describe an action research (AR) case study resulting in a workshop model to operationalize the concept of value. The model facilitates organizational learning and mindset changes in order to
Europeanization as a crucial insrument for democrtatization process in target countries requires gradual complaince with EU membership conditions where conditional positive incentives (ultimately EU membership) in return are offered as rewards to acceding countries. Provoked by conflicts at domestic level, the current setbacks in Europeanization proceses of several countries (here is Turkey and Se
Metal additive manufacturing is a rapidly emerging technology, with a growing number of companies interested in its implementation. The technology can have several positive effects, such as more efficient production, reduced transports, more focus on circular economy and reduced costs. However, the manufacturing process is still relatively slow, where components require extensive post-processing a
This thesis explores the end-consumers’ perspective on C2C returns within e-commerce. It investigates the consumer's attitudes towards and expectations of the service by investigating potential motivational incitements and perceived hinders when potentially participating in the process. A literature review on current research on returns management and C2C services was conducted, followed by fo
Efficient inventory management is crucial for successful supply chain management with it attributing up to 30% of an organization’s supply chain costs. A key strategic decision in inventory management remains whether to centralize or decentralize inventory with both decisions having their advantages and disadvantages. Most studies highlight the importance of an organizations supply chain network i
In the late 1990s, the member states of the European Union decided to establish a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), in order to enhance refugee protection. However, the emerging common asylum policies have been deeply criticized for breaching international norms and principles. In this thesis I argue that a discrepancy does exist between the international human rights norm expressed as the Gen
Objective – Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to combine quality assurance and strategic planning activities. The process has bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate strong staff-involvement and long-term strategic stability.Methods – In 2008 the library started implementing a system in which each library team should state a number of improvement ac
Writing over two decades ago, Stuart Hall (1991) first told the story of European identity as contradictory processes of marking symbolic boundaries and constructing symbolic frontiers between inside and outside, interior and exterior, belonging and otherness, which are central to any account of the political psychology of European integration. The study of European integration has come a long way
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe chronic inflammatory autoimmune connective tissue disease. Despite major efforts, SLE remains a poorly understood disease with unpredictable course, unknown etiology and complex pathogenesis. Apoptosis combined with deficiency in clearing apoptotic cells is an important etiopathogenic event in SLE, which could contribute to the increased load of poten
Cysteine proteases mediate liberation of Plasmodium berghei merozoites from infected hepatocytes. In an attempt to identify the responsible parasite proteases, we screened the genome of P. berghei for cysteine protease-encoding genes. RT-PCR analyses revealed that transcription of four out of five P. berghei serine repeat antigen (PbSERA) genes was strongly upregulated in late liver stages briefly
We study the distribution of phases and amplitudes for the spectral representation of weighted moving averages of a general noise measure. The simple independent structure, known for the Gaussian case, and involving Rayleigh amplitude and uniform phase distributions, is lost for the non Gaussian noise case. We show that the amplitude/phase distributions exhibit a rich and more complex structure de
