The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the effect of organizational context on supply chain integration. One result is a context- based model that can provide support for practitioners regarding what level of integration to establish with suppliers and customers. Given the notion that most organizations are dependent on other organizations, it leads to a need for not only
To most people bitumen is an unknown material although it is the most important ingredient in asphalt pavements, something that everyone knows and uses every day. By merely distilling crude oil a substance is produced with unique properties and durability, which could not have been produced by synthetic means, at least not in those quantities used. The production is not that simple and the raw mat
With the BECC and MERGE short projects we aim to fill the gaps at the intersection of our research areas. What is a joint BECC and MERGE Short Project?The complementary expertise and methodologies used by MERGE and BECC scientists has the potential to make significant contributions to our understanding of climate change and its links to biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to inform national a

The traditional pre-post treatment difference reflects an incremental notion of change, where a quantity of some psychological function is added to (or subtracted from) a pretreatment quantity. This study presents a complementary, experiential notion of change. Rather than a difference, change is a feeling or experience of having changed, a feeling that one is different than before. Based on a pos
The resurgence in developed countries of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, has led to a search for new sustainable methods to monitor and control this human ectoparasite. Because of increased resistance to insecticides, traps baited with attractive cues are considered a promising method to be developed into efficient monitoring tools for bed bugs. Despite their potential as attractants, only
This study highlights relatively new investment phenomena such as ETF investing and forthcoming trends in placement strategies to incorporate long-term visions and sustainable holdings. ETFs are popular for several reasons, but the investment vehicle also has some embodied volatility, in contrast to more traditional securities, making them less desirable for the risk-averse investor. This thesis&#
Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and
Acoustic emission is the response to the application of stress. Two sensors were attached to the setup to measure acoustic emission as a voltage. The beams were loaded until rupture in four point bending. Lab VIEW® continuously took readings of load, deflection, acoustic emission, date and time and saved all data on a hard drive.
The thesis has two aims to first describe the phenomena by explaining how interim management works and what the charachteristics of an interim manger are. The second aim is to look at the value issue of interim management; What value does an interim manager provide to a company and how do interim managers try to capture and cultivate this?The qualitative method has been used. The interim managemen
Protecting groups, or PGs, are important in synthetic organic chemistry. However, protective group free chemistry, i.e. to manage reactions without the use of traditional PGs, has recently caught the attention for the entire field of chemistry. When working with sugar molecules, it is important to know that the molecule contain several hydroxyl groups. It is thus essential to make sure the sugar
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical for all aspects of vascular pathobiology. In vascular disease the balance of its structural components is shifted. In atherosclerotic plaques there is in fact a dynamic battle between stabilizing and proinflammatory responses. This review explores the most recent strides that have been made to detail the active role of the ECM - and its
Deflationism about truth is often said to be incompatible with truth-theoretic semantics. However, both of these labels are ambiguous, making the truth of the incompatibility claim dependent on interpretation. I provide one pair of natural interpretations, on which both views relate essentially to grounding and on which they are indeed incompatible. This result has some intrinsic interest as well
Nature-based solutions, such as urban green spaces, are shown to contribute to carbon emissions reduction and carbon sequestration, and also to have valuable indirect effects and behavioural impacts. Implementing such solutions could achieve carbon neutrality within the decade in several major cities in Europe.
Identified knowledge gaps At the 2020 BECC-MERGE Spring Meeting our members identified the following knowledge gaps at the intersection of our two Strategic Research Areas (SRAs), the filling of which will require joint activities and a commitment to facilitate these on the part of the SRA Boards. Evaluation of existing land use & management scenarios: What impact would the global land use scenari
