Behovet av effektiviseringar för lagföringen av personer som har begått brott har länge diskuterats framförallt ur ett effektiviserings perspektiv men även ur ett processekonomiskt perspektiv. Stora och komplicerade mål skapar långa och resurskrävande utredningar som dessutom låter den misstänkte sväva i ovisshet under en lång tid. Ett förslag som har diskuterats men som än så länge avskrivits äThe need to make the process in which persons who have committed crimes are brought to justice has long been discussed from a efficiency perspective but also from a process economical perspective. Large and complicated cases create long and costly investigations and also make the suspects linger in uncertainty for a long time. One alternative that has been discussed but so far discarded is the i

Opaline silica deposits on Mars may be good target sites where organic biosignatures could be preserved. Potential analogues on Earth are provided by ancient cherts containing carbonaceous material (CM) permineralized by silica. In this study, we investigated the ultrastructure and chemical characteristics of CM in the Rhynie chert (c. 410 Ma, UK), Bitter Springs Formation (c. 820 Ma, Australia),

Abstract Manganese is a redox-sensitive trace element that is essential for humans and other organisms in order to develop and maintain health. Through sewage, manganese enters the oceanic environment from variety of anthropogenic sources, both domestic and industrial, and like every chemical, it can cause toxicity when it exceeds certain concentrations. The main objective of present study was to

The purpose or the study is to explore Google’s network expansion through acquisitions by integrating two different perspectives - Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory - in order to fill the gap in the existing branding literature in relation to network theory. In addition to Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory, the study also explores literature that is related to interrelatedn

I have conducted a qualitative study based on five adult sober alcoholics’ life stories. The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe

This study analyzes the personal identification process that takes place in the actual meeting of a job coach and a job seeker, with the purpose of making the job seeker employable. The empirical data consists of observations during nine job coach meetings, and interviews with four job coaches. The analysis is based on a social constructionist perspective. The findings point to contradictions in t

Tetra Pak Global Technical Support AB (GTS) is a company within the Tetra Pak group which main task is to supply the whole world with spare parts for all kinds of Tetra Pak machines. GTS supplies about half a million different parts, which demands a large purchase organisation. This thesis deals with the so-called Sourcing purchase, which is a term for purchase of non-forecasted parts that have no

Chilaw inlet, with the affiliated lagoon, is located on the west coast of Sri Lanka about 120 km north of the capital Colombo. Each year during the summer monsoon, which lasts from May to September, the inlet closes due to a sand spit forming across the inlet. The closure results in impeded access to the sea for the fishermen, who use the lagoon as anchorage for their boats, and in deteriorated wa

As energy demand soars to new levels in heavily industrialised European countries, difficult decisions have to be made on how to ensure sufficient future energy capacity. The decision of the EU to put nuclear energy back on the agenda as a means of solving this issue must be seen against the backdrop of the debate over climate change and the outspoken policy to substantially reduce greenhouse gas

Det upphandlingsrättsliga regelverket inom EU består framförallt av två direktiv, 2004/18/EG och 2004/17/EG. Dessa direktiv är i huvudsak baserade på EG-fördragets (numera EUF-fördraget) bestämmelser om förverkligandet av den gemensamma marknaden och syftar till att säkerställa en sund konkurrens inom hela Europeiska unionen. Direktiven styr i detalj hur en upphandlingsprocess ska genomföras och hThe regulations of public procurement in the European Union (EU) consist primarily of two directives, 2004/18/EG and 2004/17/EG. These directives are principally based on the internal market provisions of the EC Treaty (now the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) and are aiming to guarantee competition within the EU. The directives prescribe in detail how a procurement process should

This study was carried out in order to identify the main insect species responsible for forest damages (pests) in Sweden, and to explore the relationships between insect outbreaks and environmental variables (temperature, precipitation, and availability of insect host trees, including storm damaged trees). Special attention was given to changes in management practices through time, and their conse

Popular Abstract in Swedish Global uppvärmning, säkerhetspolitik och framtida minskad tillgång på fossila bränslen har de senaste åren skyndat på sökandet efter nya, förnyelse-bara drivmedel. Användningen av bioetanol har ökat avsevärt och är idag ett av de vanligaste biobränslena i världen. Idag framställs bioetanol vanligen genom jäsning av socker från socker-rör eller från stärkelse (från tillFuel ethanol from lignocellulose is one sustainable alternative to the fossil fuels of today. All sugars in the material must be utilized in order to achieve high overall ethanol yields. Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been engineered to ferment the pentose sugar xylose from lignocellulose to ethanol. However, ethanol production from xylose is slow and often incomplete. In this work s

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful imaging technique sensitive to tissue molecular composition, pH, and metabolic processes in situ. CEST MRI uniquely probes the physical exchange of protons between water and specific molecules within tissues, providing a window into physiological phenomena that remain invisible to standard MRI.

Thanks to the fierce competition and the globalization of markets as well as compa¬nies, supply chain management has emerged as one of the most urgent manage¬rial issues in business today. This thesis is devoted to one aspect of this vast problem area - the coordinated management/control of supply chain inventories. The objective is: To develop methods and models for coordinated inventory contro

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and for patients with end-stage disease, the only viable treatment is lung transplantation. In order to meet this clinical need, novel approaches of tissue engineering have emerged. 3D bioprinting technologies are one such rapidly evolving approach and show promising results in terms of biocompatib
