The classical theory of the ideal free distribution (IFD) predicts that the spatial distribution of consumers should follow the distribution of the resources they depend on. Here, we study consumer-resource matching in a community context. Our model for the community is a food chain with three levels. We study whether the primary consumers are able to match resources both under predation risk and
This thesis explores the Chinese lifestyle migration practice in Jutland of Denmark as a contribution to expanding the categories of Chinese new migrants. The study analyzed ten in-depth interviews on the lifestyle migration practice with Chinese migrants in Denmark. The purpose of this study was to deepen the understanding of the motivations and experiences of Chinese migrants in seek of a better
With an increasing number of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries as well as a greater EU focus on human rights in supply chains, analysis of recent and emerging agreements is a valuable gauge. This analysis is based on existing EU agreements with Singapore and Vietnam, as well as ongoing negotiations with Tha
This paper provides an exploratory analysis about the effect of transportation infrastructure on poverty reductions in Mexico between 1990 and 2010. Using the density of highways and unprecedented official estimations of poverty at municipality level, I show that this type of infrastructure lead to reductions in poverty. On average, for every additional kilometer (km) of highway (km/100km2) povert
High-pressure homogenizers (HPHs) are widely used in the food industry for breaking down droplets and particles to improve product stability and mouthfeel. HPHs are prone to cavitation, characterized by the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles, leading to wear and reduction in efficiency. This study evaluates the potassium iodide (KI) oxidation method as a tool for measuring cavitation. The met
By use of a batch microcalorimeter of the thermopile type, heat production was measured in isolated populations of human peripheral blood cells exposed to defined immune complexes formed in vitro. It was found that most of the heat production recorded in whole blood after admixture of immune complexes occurs in the granulocytes. Under these conditions small but constantly higher activation values
This paper addresses sustainability clauses in the European Union’s (EU) free trade agreements (FTAs) and examines their role in integrating environmental, social, and economic objectives within international trade. Against the backdrop of global sustainability agendas – namely Agenda 2030 and the European Green Deal – the study investigates how these contractual provisions are designed to support
