Problem The procurement of a complete factory, including the design, manufacturing and installation, is a common way for automotive producers when acquiring new production equipment for new models. Due to the long lead times of a procurement process, the process has to commence well before the finalisation of the design of the car to be built. This makes the formulation of requirements very comple

Background: Somali piracy and armed robbery against ships remain to be one of the major global concerns today. Since 2007, over 1,500 piracy and piratical attacks were reported to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre. These figures were gradually increased over the years, along with the degree of maritime violence. Somali pirates, with the urge of ransom payments, have consequently become more threate

Background: Inhibitory deficits are common in psychopathology. Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) and rumination are general risk factors for psychiatric distress that are similarly associated with dysfunctional inhibition—particularly in affective contexts. A number of cognitive remediation procedures have been developed to improve inhibitory control; however, most remediation programs focus on “c

Det här arbetet handlar om flow och hur begreppet samverkar med olika aktiviteter i våra liv. Bakgrunden till flow förklaras inledningsvis i kapitlet om teoretisk bakgrund och sätts senare i relation till inre förändring, socialt samspel, fysisk aktivitet, kommunikation, samt pedagogik. Syftet med arbetet är att ge svar på hur flow kan användas i undervisning. Som metod för datainsamling har jag g

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Stockholms skärgårds unika miljö utgör livs- och reproduktionsmiljö för ⅓ av Sveriges reproducerande fiskarter. Fisketrycket i detta område har länge varit mycket högt. Detta i kombination med att allt fler turister och fritidsboende söker sig ut till kustområdena ökar behovet av ett effektivt förvaltande av fisken och fisket för att förhindra utarmning samt säkThis work is a GIS study of fishing rights distribution between different categories of owners and properties in the Stockholm Archipelago. The purpose was to create basic data used to establish fishing laws and restrictions within the Stockholm County. Stockholm’s archipelago consists of a unique environment and is the natural life and reproduction environment for ⅓ of Sweden’s reproducing fish s

Purpose of the studyIn this paper, we discuss the unexploited possibilities of user-orientation to promote sustainable governance and management of value co-creation in innovation projects within welfare service ecosystem. The paper’s theoretical framework takes the outset in public service logic (PSL) and its user-oriented perspective. As such, we test the thesis that service-innovation seriously

By harnessing the powers of polycrystalline materials an unprecedented, technologically-driven age has taken formover the last 100 years. The polycrystal is today, arguably, the most central building block for electronics, renewableenergy, transportation and medical equipment industries. This material class is the reason for the emergence of thepowerful microprocessors, semiconductors, memory chip

Ecosystem services are benefits supplied by ecosystem to human societies. In France, recent legislation aims to include ecosystem service in environmental impact studies with the enactment of the Law for the recovery of biodiversity, nature and landscapes (2016). To do so, it is necessary to develop field methods for ecosystem service estimation. In this setting, a collaboration was established be

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the ability to self-renew and to give rise to all blood cells of the different lineages, and are thereby responsible for the replenishment of blood cells throughout life. These cells are tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic regulators, such as signals from the bone marrow microenvironment, complex transcription factor networks and epigenetic regulators.

The growing interest in sustainable development indicators (SDI) has resulted in the development and application of various SDI frameworks in the past two decades. Identification and selection of “right” indicators with such frameworks are essential, in the sense that, it is the information from these indicators that will help policy and decision makers to better understand the efficiency, effecti

BACKGROUND: Interactive behavior change technology (eg, computer programs, Internet websites, and mobile phones) may facilitate the implementation of lifestyle behavior interventions in routine primary health care. Effective, fully automated solutions not involving primary health care staff may offer low-cost support for behavior change. OBJECTIVES: We explored the effectiveness of an electronic

This thesis work is concerned with the efficient layout and operation of substations, i.e. those district heating (DH) system units which connect the network and internal building heating systems, such as radiator heating systems and domestic hot water distribution networks. The ambition was to make realistic investigations closely related to practical technologies within the field. The themes of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den fysiska grunden för fysiska aktionsverbThis work is a study of verbal semantics with a focus on the discussion and illustration of the role of body parts and the semantic incorporation into verbal roots of the actions that involve various body parts. Following a general discussion of the basic issues of language construction and human body actions with the image schemas of force-dynamics presented in line with the framework of cognitiv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avsikten med denna avhandling är att förstå de viktiga begreppsmässiga och operativa utmaningar som internationella biståndsgivare, liksom offentliga och privata institutioner, möter när man utformar och genomför alternativa former av sociala bostadsfinansiering som skall vara inkluderande för den fattiga urbana befolkningen. Avhandllingen försöker besvara tre frågor, bThe purpose of the thesis is to further understand key conceptual and operational challenges that international aid donors, and public and private institutions, face while designing and implementing alternative forms of social housing finance which aim to be inclusive for the urban poor. Based on an in-depth study of the work of the Foundation for the Promotion of Local Development (PRODEL) in thr

Languages differ with respect to which element they select as the subject in passive of ditransitive verbs: either the active indirect object (the goal argument) or the active direct object (the theme argument). In standard American English, e.g., only the goal argument may be promoted, as shown by the difference between (1b) and (1c). (1) a. John gave Mary a red bike yesterday. b. Mary was give

DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a holoenzyme consisting of a regulatory subunit, the heterodimeric Ku70/86, and a catalytic subunit known as DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). DNA-PK takes part in a number of cellular functions including growth control, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and DNA repair. The Ku86 subunit of DNA-PK has been reported to exist in human

Popular Abstract in Swedish I århundranden har vi människor fascinerats av flyttfåglar och frågat oss vart de ska, var de kommer ifrån och hur de hittar. Idag, tack vare forskning, vet vi mer om fågelflyttning än någonsin, men det finns fortfarande mycket kvar att ta reda på. Vadare som häckar i Arktis är riktiga långflyttare med många arter som flyttar mer än 10 000 kilometer varje vår och höst o

In the first part of this thesis we give an introduction to the field of inventory theory, and discuss some previous literature connected to the research presented in this thesis. In the second part, the original research which defines this thesis is presented in the form

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie handlar om mediereception som pedagogisk form och meningsskapande över tid. Jag är intresserad av att förstå komplexitet i meningsskapande processer som utgår från medieproduktioner. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka vad mötet mellan en grupp lärarstudenter och deras texter kan erbjuda för möjligheter och begränsningar för meningsskapande över tid i The present study is about media reception as an educational form, supporting meaning-making over time. The thesis stems from the desire to understand the complexity in a meaning-making process that takes its point of departure in media productions. The aim is to investigate the possibilities and limitations for meaning-making over time, afforded by the meeting of a group of student teachers and t
