The competitive position achieved by the Japanese and Western industries during the 1970s to mid-1990s, and 1980s to mid-1990s, respectively, derived from understanding, implementing, and developing Total Quality Management (TQM) as a comprehensive management philosophy. Several research and/or company studies provided evidence of this development and its impact on leading companies’ efficiency an

De vanligaste kontakterna under vikingatiden ur ett svenskt perspektiv gick österut. Miljontals islamiska mynt flödade in i Skandinavien från Nordafrika, kalifatet och det samanidiska herraväldet i Centralasien. Deras ursprung varierade, och silverströmmens kronologi gör det möjligt att beskriva föränderliga relationer mellan aktörerna. Några välkända artefakter från samma riktning kom till Skandi

The feasibility of different options to reduce the risks of climate change has engaged scholars for decades. Yet there is no agreement on how to define and assess feasibility. We define feasible as “do-able under realistic assumptions.” A sound feasibility assessment is based on causal reasoning; enables comparison of feasibility across climate options, contexts, and implementation levels; and ref

In research on Birka strong focus has since long been directed towards long-distance contacts with Western as well with and Northeastern Europe (todays Russia, Belarus and Ukraine). The great attention paid to west- and east European contacts has likely contributed to that contacts with Finland have fallen out of the discussions. However as seen from studies of the pottery in Birka the Baltic Finn

Climate change poses an immediate challenge to every actor in society. In this rapidly changing context, organizations are faced with a need to make structural changes to their business strategy and operations as current business models are challenged. Communication is a vital aspect and determinant of organizational change. The purpose of this study has been to examine how an organization communi

Capitulation is wisdom - not defeat! The aim of this study has been an attempt to clarify how parents of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome and intellectual disability manage to cope in their everyday life despite the high levels of stress and long term strain it involves being a parent and a caretaker of such a child. We focused our study on the family as a

Globalisation is characterised not only by long-distance exchange by commodities and people, but also by a microbial unification of the world (une unification microbienne du monde), as was described by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie in the 1970s. Proof of microbial unification can be seen through the dramatic consequences of the Black Death in the 14th century CE as well as the Covid-19 pandemic, which i

Over the past decade, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have revolutionized next-generation semiconductors, driving unprecedented advancements in cost-effective optoelectronics. While lead-based perovskite semiconductors exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, their inherent toxicity and vulnerability to environmental degradation remain significant barriers to widespread commercializ

The increased demand, driven by a growing population and changing dietary habits, has created immense pressure on agroecosystems throughout the globe. In semi-arid areas, this increased pressure has led to excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture, which poses a threat of potentially toxic metal (PTM) contamination in agricultural soils. PTMs in agricultural soils result in significant environ

The goal of this study is to investigate the applicability of asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF)–multi angle laser light scattering (MALLS), and to develop a method for analysis of cationic potato amylopectin (CPAP) having ultrahigh molecular mass (UHMr). Use of the aqueous carrier having low salt content (3 mM NaN3) resulted in a distortion in AsFlFFF fractograms of CPAP with a

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the latent functions of projectification using local government practices as an example and explore organisational consequences of an increasing reliance on a project logic. Inspired by the institutional logic perspective, local government and their organisations are studied as sites where several, coexisting institutional logics are ‘available’ for civil s

Abstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. infestans, there is a need to explore several new approaches th

Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
