Issue of study: The Swedish dairy company Vattnadahl is currently going through extensive changes, battling new market demands and internal reorganizations. As a consequence, the organization is facing challenges related to its organizational identity. From a theoretical perspective, organizational identity consists of an internal and an external part that together dynamically construct the identi

Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol

Alzheimers sjukdom och nanopartiklar – blir vi dementa snabbare? Demenssjukdomar kommer märkbart att påverka vår allt mer åldrande befolkning. Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste av dessa och leder till exempel till minnesförlust och förändrad personlighet. En sak som kännetecknar sjukdomen är bildandet av plack i hjärnan. Plack består av ihopklumpade protein. Proteinet som utgör dessa utgör desAbstract Alzheimer’s disease is a common form of dementia with one of its hallmarks being the formation of plaques in the brain consisting of fibrils formed from the amyloid beta peptide (Aβ). Nanoparticles have in vitro been shown to affect the rate of which these fibrils form. When nanoparticles enter a biological system they will be covered with proteins, a protein corona is formed. In this st

This thesis poses structural and behavioural competition problems in digital markets in terms of core platforms services provided by the gatekeepers under the proposed Digital Markets Act by the European Commission, where such problems are the most evident. This thesis analyses whether existing competition and more sector-specific legal tools are functional to address these problems. Traditional l

Purpose: To estimate the impact upon Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) associated with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), both with and without associated diabetic complications, for enabling calculation of utility values – Quality of Life Weights (QLW) – for populations with T1DM. Method: Two cohorts from Northern Sweden, one of T1DM patients and one of a general population, were given survey

The national day of Australia is Australia Day; a contentious public holiday that sparks a national debate on identity and multiculturalism every year. There are many different narratives that make up the Australian story, which encapsulates Australia’s diverse and multicultural history. Media plays a pivotal role in the representation of the national narrative; however, evidence of systemic power

The position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. This article discuss this process of change and its impact on Swed

Background: Overweight and obesity in the preschool years has become an established problem in Sweden. Objectives: To study the development of weight status between the ages of 4-5 and 10-11 in two groups of different socioeconomic belongings and to create an overview of weight management programs for very young children. Method: The study population was a group of children born in 1999, living in

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Microgelpartiklar är runda partiklar som har förmågan att ändra storlek beroende på olika yttre påverkan. I detta projekt har vi tittat på partiklar som blir upp till 10 gånger mindre när temperaturen höjs från 15˚C till 39˚C. Detta beror på att det nätverk som partiklarna är uppbyggda börjar ogilla lösningsmedlet när temperaturen höjs och hellre vill vara nära sMicrogel particles have been widely investigated for their ability to undergo a volume phase transition due to different stimuli such as solvent quality, pH or salt addition. Their ability to reversibly change their size and thus the volume fraction makes them suitable to perform thorough studies on intra and inter‐particle interactions and various phase transitions. In this research work we show

Kv. Renen 13 i centrala Varberg är sedan tidigare känt som kraftigt förorenat. På fastigheten har det från slutet av 1800-talet fram till 2003 funnits verksamheter i form av textilindustri som avlösts av finmekanisk verkstadsindustri. Det är framförallt den sistnämnda verksamheten som har orsakat rådande situation med höga halter klorerade lösningsmedel, trikloreten (TCE) och 1,1,1-trikoletan (TCAAn old industry estate, Kv. Renen 13, is located in central Varberg, southwest Sweden, and is known from previous investigations as highly polluted. Pollution started in the late 19th century with textile manufacturing, and in the 1960´s changed into a precision mechanics industry using chlorinated solvents, primary trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), as well as cyanide and meta

Three different circulation mechanisms are analyzed: 1) through-flow of a river; 2) wind generated oscillations; and 3) convective currents induced by heat flow from the bottom sediments. The through-flow takes place between the ice and a depth, which is mainly determined by the conditions at the inlet of the river into the lake. Just below this depth there is a sharp thermocline. The water mass b

Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, at some sites atop glaciofluvial sediment, at other sites atop littoral deposits, and in some places at both levels, while aeolian sand usually forms a surficWind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas.

The symmetric Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials for q > 1 are associated with an indeterminate moment problem. There is a self-adjoint second-order difference operator on 2(Z) to which these polynomials are eigenfunctions. We determine the spectral decomposition of this self-adjoint operator. This leads to a class of discrete orthogonality measures, which have been obtained previously by Christiansen a
