Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the profile of contemporary skills and knowledge provided in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) postgraduate programs offered by Swedish universities and compares them with job requirements. Design/methodology/approach – This master thesis employs the desk-based research involving content analysis based on 14 postgraduate LSCM pro
Morphology and facet engineering have been proved efficient strategies to prepare high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) materials. WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction photoanodes with different morphologies were prepared by simply controlling the amount of electrodeposited charge. The coral-like WO3/BiVO4 photoanode with the orientation growth of {110} and {011} active facets of BiVO4 exhibited the opt
The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is the core package astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages. In this article, we summarize key features in the core package as of the rec
The aim of this study was to determine if arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonisation influences rhizosphere bacteria differently depending on plant species. Thus, the effect of AM colonisation (Glomus intraradices) on rhizosphere bacteria of subterranean clover, cucumber, leek and maize was studied. The bacterial activity was measured as thymidine or leucine incorporation and bacterial numbers as co
The Spaniard Alfonso, Bishop of Jaén, was commissioned by St. Bridget of Sweden to prepare an edition of her Revelationes (the Liber Celestis). The present book gives an account of Alfonso's life and critical editions of three writings by him.
This thesis investigates the impact of solar shading devices on energy use and daylight quality in office rooms. The impact on energy use is analysed through computer simulations with the dynamic energy simulation program Derob-LTH while the impact on daylight quality is investigated through measurements in full-scale experimental office rooms and simulations with the program Radiance. This thesis
This master thesis aims to investigate the visual characteristics of Late Bronze Age tholos tombs in the region of Messenia, Greece by comparing tholos tombs from two study areas: the Pylian hinterlands and the Soulima Valley. The study utilises cost surfaces and viewsheds created in a GIS-environment as heuristic devices to do so. With the common assumption that the tholos tombs were erected as v
Tetra Pak is a large scale organization that provides its customers with a food packaging solution based on laminated carton board in various package formats. The packaging material is produced in more than 50 converting factories represented world wide. The production develops the material in roll form that are loadable in the filling machines. Each roll arrives to the filling site with a barcode
Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to international environmental, social and economic security. The growing energy consumption is producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are fastening climate change and polluting the environment. For this reason, the European Union (EU) desires to act as a global leader in combating climate change and is therefor
This paper presents a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ((t) over tilde) in the e(+/-)mu(-/+) continuum using 2.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95
Transfusion of ABO major incompatible platelets (where the recipient has antibodies against the ABO group of the transfused platelets) has been shown to be associated with lower platelet count increments following transfusion [1], although this does not appear to translate to a difference in bleeding outcomes [2]. Transfusion of minor ABO incompatible platelets (where the suspending plasma of the
Integrated Assessment and Modelling (IAM) provides an interdisciplinary approach to support ex-ante decision-making by combining quantitative models representing different systems and scales into a framework for integrated assessment. Scenarios in IAM are developed in the interaction between scientists and stakeholders to explore possible pathways of future development. As IAM typically combines m
This thesis aims to present the relationship between competition law and data protection law in the digital market. The paper illustrates the economic background that creates certain conditions for the interplay between the bodies of law. The emergence of the digital economy with platform-based business models is a challenge that cannot be tackled within a single system. Therefore, the paper prese
Double taxation has been widely accepted that constitutes an obstacle to the functioning of the single market. The European Union has adopted some uniform measures to have double taxation eliminated, for example, the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest-Royalty Directive. In addition, the Arbitration Convention has been concluded between Member States to eliminate double taxation in respec
Although several studies have reported a negative association between self compassion (SC) and depressive symptomatology (DASS), less is known about the pathways that constitute this relationship. This study aims to expand on the current research by examining if shame, guilt, or rumination act as independent mediators between self-compassion and depressive symptoms in a sample of young adults bet
Background: Blockchain technology has during the last years become a hot topic for supply chain management. Solutions are being developed and sold, but exactly what blockchain technology can bring to the supply chain is unclear. The technology can be divided into two main varieties, public and private. The public version sparked the initial interest in the technology but has not been as heavily pr
