Phytase is an important enzyme in the food/feed industry. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate, an anti-nutrient compound present in cereals and grains, to release orthophosphate and myo-inositol-6-phosphate with lower degrees of phosphorylation. Phytic acid is a strong chelator capable of complexing with a variety of metal ions under neutral and alkaline conditions, as well as with proteins and

This study evaluates the impact of agricultural subsidies (CAP) on unemployment and employment outside the agricultural sector. For the CAP subsidies to have an effect outside the agricultural sector, the subsidies must have a second-order effect. Thus, the Open Economy Relative Multiplier for Sweden is estimated with aggregate municipality data for the years 2001 to 2009. A side-effect of the dec

As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu

This article analyses the ideas and potential contribution of dematerialisation and eco-efficiency, and an innovation framework to promote Sustainability and increasing business competitiveness. From a strategic point of view and productivity approach, initiatives to reducing the resource intensity in producing products and providing services include: dematerialisation of the economy, extending pr

The main topic of this thesis is the investigation of small molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces by means of core-level photoemission spectroscopy. The thesis consists of three parts; The first group of papers concerns the effects of internal molecular vibrations on the core-level photoemission spectra. The second and third groups of papers concern more basic adsorption properties, like adsorption

In this paper, the execution and results of an evacuation experiment that was conducted in a road tunnel in Stockholm in 2014 is presented. The primary objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of different emergency exit portal designs, and other technical installations/aids in the tunnel, during a fire evacuation in smoke. Based on the results, it is concluded that the emerge

Älska Skog educational competition (Gothenburg, Sweden)Gothenburg-based educational institute Universeum is running annual design competitions on forest topics for primary school pupils, starting in 2016. Based on various activities in which pupils gain knowledge about forest-related challenges and opportunities as well as forestry, they would design plans to deal with those problems. After a firs

The close relationship between young children’s living conditions and their healthlater in life is well documented and a safe and healthy environment during earlychildhood promotes cognitive functions and social development during the wholelifespan. Becoming a parent is a major life transition and it is sometimes described as a stressful and vulnerable time involving changes to lifestyle and routi

Syftet med den här studien är att hitta metoder för att kunna beskriva hur mätarlarver påverkar fjällbjörkskogen som ekosystem. I studien används olika metoder, fjärranalys och statistisk analys av satellitdata, samt intervjuer med personer som har god lokalkännedom. Genom att kombinera kvantitativ- och kvalitativmetod har dataanalysens slutsatser kunnat bekräftas. Det aktuella studieområdet liggeSince the mid-1950s, studies have frequently been conducted on couplings between geometrid moth outbreaks and mountain birch, though not nearly as much focus has been on connections between geometrid moth outbreaks and ground cover. Previous studies have shown that major outbreaks of Epirrita autumnata occur in 9 – 10-year cycles (Karlsson et al., 2004). Sometimes also the Operophtera brumata are

Aktiebolaget är dagens absolut mest populära bolagsform. Den är i Sverige ungefär 250 år gammal och har naturligt utvecklats i takt med samhället. Sedan Sverige gick med i EU har dock en trend kunnat ses där kravet på aktiekapital i privata bolag minskat. Detta har skett genom den konkurrenssituation som uppstått på den inre marknaden inom EU. Denna konkurrenssituation har uppstått som ett resultaLimited companies are today's most popular form of companies in Sweden. Limited companies has existed in Sweden about 250 years and has naturally evolved in line with society. However, since Sweden joined the EU, a trend has been seen where the requirement for share capital in private companies has decreased. This has been done through the competitive situation that has arisen in the internal

Interest in cross-national partnership is increasing in Europe, a situation very much reflected in calls for funding. Multi-language qualitative research methodologies need to be strengthened in order to support this growing trend toward the promotion of cross-national collaboration. This practice analysis reports on our experience of carrying out cross-national and multi-language based qualitativ

The review of Kristina Fjelkestam’s Det sublimas politik: emancipatorisk estetik i 1800-talets konstnärsromaner [Sublime politics: emancipatory aesthetics in nineteenth-century Künstlerromane] focuses on how the author makes use of the sublime as a means to connect three women writers use of the Künstlerromane in their political, emancipatory projects. On the other hand, the review also deals with

Everett C. Hughes's classic concept of a "going concern" should stand for both entire institutions and for chains of activities within institutions. In this article the author explores this expanded version of Hughes's concept to show how staff and residents in a youth care setting interweave everyday concerns-meals, lessons, breaks, meetings, or other mundane but concerted projects-with interpers

We have decided to conduct a case study of German and Swedish mid-level managers within the automobile industry. Primarily we used a qualitative method of investigation and a phenomenographical methodological approach in order to conduct an in depth analysis. We conducted semi-structured interviews with six mid-level managers each in Germany and Sweden. The semi-structured interviews allowed us to

The purpose with this essay was to study how the social work is shaped in the methadone programme and how the staffs treat and work with the social integration for the patients. We have studied the experience of a medical assisted treatment from two different treatment clinics and focused on their treatment programme. We have chosen to focus on the social aspect but we have also been taking part

Environmental management accounting (EMA) is a management tool for the better consideration of environmental costs. Many benefits of EMA are discussed in the literature, but there are no comprehensive studies that weigh the benefits of EMA against the costs of its use. As a result, many organisations are uncertain about the outcomes of EMA and are, therefore, reluctant to implement such a tool. In

The aim of the study was to distinguish if there was a difference between how work is perceived and how unemployed are viewed by people in collectivistic and individualistic cultures. A phenomenological approach was used in order to capture the participants life-worlds and their meaning constitution of a phenomenon, in this case the meaning of work and how unemployed are viewed. Subjects from diff
