Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi
How do museums reflect a pluralistic society? Since a few decades back in time, diversity is an established concept in Swedish cultural policy. One assumption is that museums could be places that reflect the diversity of cultural expressions in society and also counteract xenophobia and distances between people. Previous strategies to include diversity in museums have been marked by documentation

Children are entitled to an economic standard that is comparable with the standard that their parents have. This principle is reflected in the child’s right to receive an addition to the average maintenance allowance, a so-called standard addition. In year 2013, the Supreme Court stated that a child who lives alternately with their parents are entitled to a maintenance allow-ance. By applying arti

Elastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing. Efficient management of cloud resources is crucial in order to provide high quality services and applications. In this work we present a novel method for scaling cloud resources and provide stability guarantees. We do this by leveraging ideas and concepts from classic control theory, namely mid-range control and combElastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing.

The aim with this work has been to structure, summarize and analyse environmental demands within the framework for public procurement according to LOU (the Swedish Public Procurement law (2007:1091)) and the classic directive (Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply
The goal of this thesis was to, from several randomly selected patients with diagnosed malignant and benign tumors, record optimal lambdas and respective Renyi entropies for each lambda, run a basic statistical analysis of the results and see if there is any significant difference between lambdas/Renyi entropies of malignant and benign lesions.\\ The results showed no significant difference.\\ The
Malaria, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for about 600.000 death cases every year. Mainly affected are populations of subtropical countries in Africa and the largest groups of victims are children below the age of 5 years. The fast evolving drug resistances of Plasmodium against the the most pow- erful antimalarials threatens the successful containment of this

Adverse human rights and environmental impacts frequently occur in textile supply chains, posing severe risks of reputation to brands. For years, voluntary due diligence standards have aimed to make brands understand that they must take responsibility for these adverse impacts and that mitigating these risks is in their own interest. However, this approach has proven largely ineffective. Consequen

Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy
Popular Abstract in Swedish Many of the energy needs in today’s modern society are fulfilled by sources based on fossil fuels, including non-domestic oil and coal. It is well known that the increase in CO2 emission is the result of human activities, mostly fossil fuel consumption. The use of such fuels is unsustainable and has led to the phenomena such as climate change, political instability in sThe gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,
This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.
