Plant-emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play fundamental roles in atmospheric chemistry and ecological processes by contributing to aerosol formation1 and mediating species interactions2. Rising temperatures and the associated shifts in vegetation composition have been shown to be the primary drivers of plant VOC emissions in Arctic ecosystems3. Although herbivorous insects also strongly a
The need for autonomous robot systems in both the service and the industrial domain is larger than ever. In the latter, the transition to small batches or even “batch size 1” in production created a need for robot control system architectures that can provide the required flexibility. Such architectures must not only have a sufficient knowledge integration framework. It must also support autonomou
Background: Children whose parents have alcohol use problems are at an increased risk of several negative consequences, such as poor school performance, an earlier onset of substance use, and poor mental health. Many would benefit from support programs, but the figures reveal that only a small proportion is reached by existing support. Digital interventions can provide readily accessible support a
Future connected vehicles will require high-performance communication technologies for advanced cooperative driving applications such as maneuvering and cooperative perception. mmWave communications can meet the bandwidth requirements of such applications, but the typically harsh propagation conditions of vehicular environments hinder the broad adoption of mmWave devices on cars. Reconfigurable in
This article examines the role of Swedish municipalities and municipally-owned energy utilities (MEUs) in advancing energy democracy through local renewable energy projects. Energy democracy emphasizes citizen participation and local control in energy governance. However, traditional representative democracy and municipal involvement remain central in Sweden, where trust in institutions and high t
Study region: The Meichuan Basin, China Study focus: Soil water processes are critical in hydrological modeling, yet most studies focus on surface moisture due to data limitations, which hampers accurate simulations of root zone soil moisture dynamics. To address this gap, we developed three calibration schemes: M1 and M2, two benchmarks that rely solely on traditional streamflow data and incorpor
Coastal port cities are key regions for carbon emissions (CEs) research in China, due to their industrial density, frequent transportation, and diverse human activities. Taking Ningbo City as a case study, this study employed a top-down accounting method and integrated multiple sources of geospatial data to reveal the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of CEs from four sectors, including
Climate change impacts are a key challenge for sustainable urban development. To address this challenge, ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), i.e., the use of ecosystem services and biodiversity to help people adapt to climate change, is increasingly being considered as an alternative or complement to traditional, engineering-based approaches (increasingly also known as nature-based solutions). Howev
In this article we discuss the role of brands in the creation of sustainable markets. We focus on the increasing importance of ethical branding and how it might help to overcome some institutional shortcomings inherent in current market settings. We also discuss the increasing influence of brand communities and the seeming potential for a ‘democratisation’ of brand value and values. Brands are in
Bakgrund Det här examensarbetet handlar om Santa Marias mögelreklamationer av tortillas, samt hur företaget kan minska sina reklamationer. Eftersom tortillan inte har konserveringsmedel, skyddas den av modifierad atmosfär i primärförpackningen. När förpackningarna brister försvinner den skyddande gasen, och brödet möglar. Syfte och Mål Huvudsyftet för studien är att identifiera orsaken till att Problem Definition This Master Thesis is about the Swedish spice company Santa Maria. The company has experienced customer complaints with their tortilla product. The tortilla is packaged with a modified atmosphere technology. If the package gets punctured, the modified atmosphere will disappear and the product will begin to mould. Purpose and goal The main purpose of the study is to detect the
The market power of digital platforms and ecosystems has probably been the most discussed and concerning topic in competition policy in the last years. Some companies in the area of digital platforms have grown so rapidly that they now dominate entire industries. These firms are particularly Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft (the so-called GAFAM). Besides the dominant position these or
Prefabricated buildings were popularized in Eastern Europe due to a high demand for new housing after the World War II. They were based on the principles of modernism and are characterized by their large scale and being made of manufactured, concrete elements. In addition, the buildings were deprived of artistic elements, altogether resulting in them being monotonous and repetitive. They are locat
User generated content (UGC) makes up a significant portion of Internet traffic. As opposed to other content, UGC has so far been left outside over-the-top providing network operators content distribution networks (telco-CDN) due to the difficulty in determining optimised placement of such content. The side effect of this is that UGC content is not placed close to end users and therefore occupy un
Varumärkesrätten har alltid varit territoriell till sin natur, vilket har inneburit att skyddet som en innehavare av rättigheten ges enbart har varit begränsat till ett specifikt land. Denna territorialitet har visat sig vara svår att förena med Internets gränslösa och allestädes närvarande natur. I denna uppsats har jag utrett och diskuterat frågor som uppkommer vid gränsöverskridande varumärkesiTrademark law has always been territorially limited by its nature which has lead to the situation where the protection, granted to the owner of the right to a specific mark, has been limited to that specific territory. This territorial aspect has proven to be hard to reconcile with the borderless and ubiquitous nature of the Internet. In this thesis I have examined and discussed issues that arise
