Food is one of the most traded goods, and the conflict in Ukraine, one of the European breadbaskets, has triggered a significant additional disruption in the global food supply chains after the COVID-19 impact. The disruption to food output, supply chains, availability, and affordability could have a long-standing impact. As a result, the availability and supply of a wide range of food raw materia
The performance of timber in exposed environments is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. For timber cladding and decking, two important aspects include reduced structural performance due to fungal decay and aesthetical changes resulting from superficial effects such as photodegradation and moulds. Predicting the long-term performance of timber is important because it enables rational m
BACKGROUND: Global perceptions of barriers to women in orthopaedics have not been assessed. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of international barriers to women entering and advancing within orthopaedic surgery.METHODS: An anonymous, online survey was distributed to women medical students, trainees, and practicing surgeons via Women in Orthopaedics Worldwide, the "Women in
Background: Trajectories of asthma and allergy in children are heterogeneous and commonly derived from parental report of disease or clinical records. This study combined parental-reported and register-based dispensed medication data to characterize childhood trajectories of co-existing asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. Methods: From a Swedish population-based birth cohort (N = 5654), survey
Aim: Global interspecific body size distributions have been suggested to be shaped by selection pressures arising from biotic and abiotic factors such as temperature, predation and parasitism. Here, we investigated the ecological and evolutionary drivers of global latitudinal size gradients in an old insect order. Location: Global. Taxon: Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). Methods: We compiled
With the adoption of MiFID II, a new, less regulated ‘level’ of capital mar-ket, the SME Growth market, is now available for the member states of the European Union. Available for SME Growth markets, there are several regu-latory alleviations for issuers of shares regarding e.g. the supply of infor-mation to the market, compared to issuers on regulated and MTF markets. With this in mind, this thes
De nickel-kadmiumbatterier som tillverkas vid Saft AB i Oskarshamn är uppladdningsbara och används vanligen som backup för strömförsörjning på sjukhus, flygplatser och till och med för hela städer. Ett problem för nickel-kadmiumbatterier är upplösning av kadmiumhydroxid, det aktiva materialet i kadmiumelektroden. Utöver förlust av aktivt material kan det upplösta materialet bilda ett tunt lager påIn this project, the properties of Cd(OH)2 in alkaline solution were studied. The processes of oxidation and reduction for Cd(OH)2 in alkaline solution are very complex and even though many studies have been done on the subject, it is not completely understood yet. It is from a Ni-Cd battery point of view, important to understand these processes to prevent loss of active material. The Cd-electrode
As companies compete on the global market with an increasing amount of competitors trying to win market shares the need for an increasingly effective production becomes apparent. By utilizing the correct indicators the company can identify and improve their weaknesses to becoming more effective. The project is performed at five of Alfa Laval’s production sites, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The study is also
This Master thesis was conducted at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB (TKMS AB), formerly known as Kockums AB. TKMS AB is based in Malmö, Sweden and is a manufacturer of conventionally powered submarines. The next generation of submarines, type A26, is currently under development and introduces many new features compared to prior submarine designs. Following increased fire and sound reduction demands
Branding är det begrepp som används för att beteckna det arbete som läggs ner för att bygga starka varumärken. Branding har allt mer kommit att handla om att bygga upp en identitet och en image kring verksamheter, för att på så vis skapa konkurrensfördelar. I litteraturen betonas vikten av att den valda identiteten ska förmedlas genom alla de kommunikationskanaler och kontaktytor som finns tillgänBranding is the term used to denote the work being done to build strong brands. Branding has increasingly come to focus on building an identity and a brand image around businesses to create competitive advantages. The literature emphasizes the importance of the selected identity to be communicated through all communication channels and interfaces available. Thus, branding can include everything fr
A highly selective oxidative palladium(II)-catalyzed (Wacker-type) cyclization of readily available allylic tosylcarbamates is reported. This operationally simple catalytic reaction furnishes tosyl-protected vinyl-oxazolidinones, common precursors to syn-1,2-amino alcohols, in high yield and excellent diasteroselectivity (>20:1). It is demonstrated that both stoichiometric amounts of benzoquinone
Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran
Background: Several objective gait parameters are associated with cognitive impairment, but there is limitedknowledge of gait models in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Research question: How can 18 objective gait characteristics be used to define different components of gait inpeople with MCI (with suspected incipient neurocognitive disorder) and cognitively unimpaired people (CU),resp
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal carcinomatosis in the absence of distant metastasis occurs in approximately 8 per cent of patients with colorectal cancer. Cytoreduction followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new treatment option. Patient selection is crucial to outcome.METHODS: Cytoreduction followed by HIPEC was performed in 102 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The foll

Microsoft Word - BTBU Fredrik ht18.docx Travel Report by Fredrik, autumn semester 2018 • Why did you apply to your host university? I have had an interest in China since my first visit in 2008. I had a feeling that I have to go back there one day and now I had the opportunity to do so. Not for traveling but to study and experience more of Beijing. BTBU was the only university in Beijing that I cou

Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt år 2021, med ett starkt rättspolitiskt motiverat perspektiv – att skydda och stärka ställningen för barn som tvingades bevittna våld mellan närståendepersoner. Innan bestämmelsen trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning fanns det inte något annat skydd. Av den anledningen redogörs detta kort för genom uppsatsen, för att ge läsaren en förståelse om hur bestämmelsThe child protection offense was introduced into Swedish law in 2021, with a strong legal policy perspective - to protect and strengthen the position of children who were forced to witness violence between close persons. Prior to the entry into force of the provision in Swedish law, there was no other protection. For this reason, this is briefly described throughout the paper, to give the reader a
