En studie utförd för att kartlägga en eventuell korrelation mellan ett varumärke på B2B-marknaden och en större benägenhet hos kunderna till fallföretaget att förlänga sin affärsrelation.

This project (Enzymatic degradation of arabinoxylan and phytic acid as a method to increase yield and bioavailability of nutrients in liquid oat base) evaluates the degradation of phytic acid, of the insoluble fraction from Oatly’s existing production process, with the aim of increasing available nutrients such as minerals and proteins. Previous studies have shown that phytic acid from this fracti

The Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami hit coastal cities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures of Tohoku Region devastating the energy supply system in the region. Following electricity outage and fuel shortages caused severe problems in the city of Kamaishi varying from lack of mobility, communication, heating to reduced health conditions. It is important to build resilience of commun

Sysav incinerates more than half a million ton of waste every year. A metallic fraction is filtered out from the material that is left after the incineration. This metallic fraction is then divided into one part containing larger objects and one part containing smaller objects. The latter fraction is hard to sell and gives rise to problems with dust at the site of storage. Since the fraction most

Röstvilans funktion och effekt är något som under de senaste åren har ifrågasatts allt mer. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka om det finns någon skillnad när det gäller sjukskrivningslängd och patientens upplevelser av den postoperativa tiden, mellan patienter som har ordinerats röstvila respektive patienter som tillåtits tala direkt postoperativt. Beslut togs om att enbart ta med patien

'Silence' in one word grasps the gendered structures within the Danish daycare regime. Through a rearticulation of this notion a detailed inquiry of processes with gendered effects within the public administration of the daycare regime is carried out. Though public daycare is an universal welfare service with political attention where gender-issues are very present, and a general gender-ma

This thesis investigates local civil society organizations in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) and their perceptions on what human rights are, what causes human rights abuses and human rights violations in BiH, and what role they perceive themselves to have in transforming the current human rights situation. The methodology used was semi-structured interviews collected in the field and later explored wit

“Porn is not for girls” – a qualitative study concerning how pornography affect young women in shaping their identities The aim of this study is to enrich the understanding of how pornography affects young women. What does it mean to be female? How do young women relate and communicate about pornography? What kind of influence does pornography have on young women’s identity development? Is pornog

The European Union is currently managing two projects heading under the names Europe for Citizens Programme and Culture Programme. The main aims of these projects interconnect in several interesting ways; they both have to do with questions of a cultural heritage of Europe related to the EU-citizenship. Investigating the relationship between cultural patterns and the EU-citizenship is the central

The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate

The idea that tunneling is enhanced by the compression of the donor-acceptor distance has attracted significant interest. In particular, recent studies argued that this proposal is consistent with pressure effects on enzymatic reactions, and that the observed pressure effects support the idea of vibrationally enhanced catalysis. However, a careful analysis of the current works reveals serious inco

Aims: To estimate the proportion eligible for lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) when using the systemic coronary risk estimation 2 (SCORE2) on apparently healthy individuals. Methods and results: Individuals aged 50-64 years were randomly invited to The Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study (n = 30 154). Participants with previous atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, or chr

Several standardized assessment instruments have been introduced in social work in the last ten years. One of them, the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), is used today in the Swedish social services, and in the Prison and probation services. Swedish state authorities make strong declarations to implement the ASI-interview while critics are sceptic to both its practical relevance and epistemological

Fatigue has been shown to be a consistent and common problem in Parkinson's disease (PD) in multiple countries and cultures. It is one of the most disabling of all symptoms, including motor dysfunction, and appears early, often predating the onset of motor symptoms. Several studies of the epidemiology of fatigue have been published, often using different scales, but few on treatment. The Movement
