Kemira Kemia AB produces a water treatment chemical named ”PIX-Sulfate”, where “PI” stands for “poly iron x”, and the “x” represents a conjugate ion, such as chloride or sulfate, in this case, sulfate. The main process for producing PIX Sulfate at Kemira’s plants today is to dissolve magnetite in diluted sulfuric acid and to oxidize the resulting liquid using oxygen. Currently, this process is car
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect woke marketing has on the consumer and the effect it has on the brand’s identity Methodology: The research paper uses a qualitative approach, including both primary and secondary data collection.

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons from neural stem cells, persists throughout life but with a rapid reduction during aging. With such a reduction, decline in cognitive abilities and the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases are imminent. It is, therefore, important to better understand the role of key factors involved in the reduction of neurogenesis during aging. Microglia, the brain-
The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h
The main objective of this paper is to assess the impact of the flexicurity system, which was implemented in Denmark in 1994, on unemployment. The Synthetic Control Method (SCM) is used to construct a counterfactual scenario of what the situation would have been like in Denmark in the absence of the flexicurity reform. Our results suggest that the unemployment level in Denmark has been on average
The sociotechnical systems that present societies operate within fail to address sustainability which contributes to the exacerbation of environmental, societal, and economic injustices. Sustainable innovations are considered a potential solution pathway. Nevertheless, to have large scale impact, they need to commercialize successfully. Scholars agree that sustainable business models are essential
The enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 is one of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate. The expression of dermatan sulfate has been linked to several severe pathological conditions including breast, lung, and oesophagus cancer. The change in expression alters i.e., the tumorigenesis, cell viability, and adhesion. By altering the activity of dermatan su
Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) are essential sharp-end workers in the increasingly complex Air Traffic Management (ATM) system that the European ATM network has become. This research is based on an event that occurs many times daily in the Copenhagen Area Control Center (ACC). ATCOs choose whether or not to split sectors. To cope with workload, which is constituted by variation in traffic volume
This thesis investigates how place can be understood through assemblage theory and what that implies for the understanding of human relation to place. The framework has been widely used outside and within human geography, at a few instances related to place. Exploring place as assemblage is done through a case study of S:t Pauli cemeteries in Malmö. Main methods are walk along interviews and obser
