Fenomenet med e-handel växer men i Sverige är det fortfarande relativt få som väljer att handla livsmedel på nätet. Däremot ökar intresset och konkurrensen hårdnar. De stora svenska livsmedelsföretagen måste därför agera. Ett stort problem har varit att hitta lönsamma affärsmodeller för att flytta den traditionella handeln och hela butikens sortiment ut på nätet i ett så kallat e-grocery koncept.

Abstract Engrailed1 (En1) is a developmental gene in the homeobox family, and it is well established as a key factor for programming and maintenance of dopaminergic neurons of the mesencephalon. Heterozygousity for the gene causes progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra pars compacta and decreased striatal dopamine levels in most studied mouse strains, including Swiss

Increasing demand for lower fuel consumption increases the importance of a higher total energy efficiency in trucks. Since the efficiency of a modern diesel engine is in the range of 40 %, large amounts of waste heat are produced. Recovering this energy can be done with thermoelectric generators. However, these generators’ open load voltage and internal resistance are temperature dependant, which

Marketing research has acknowledged the concept of authenticity. It is argued that consumers in modern society increasingly search for something real, in contrast to what they perceive as mediated and distorted. Producers of regional food brands has acknowledged this trend, and started to market their products as being authentic. Given the potential practical and theoretical contributions in study

Introduction: Induction of labor (IOL) is one of the most common obstetrical procedures, with an increasing rate. The prostaglandin E1 analogue misoprostol is frequently used as a primary method of labor induction. The optimal dose and route of administration is yet to be ascertained. Aim: To compare efficiacy and safety between a regimen of sublingually administered misoprostol and a regimen of o

Pulse transformer size is fundamentally linked to application pulselength, pulse power and pulse rise time. In considering long-pulse high-power applications, it has earlier been demonstrated that the large voltage-time integral associated with long-pulse operation in combination with the severe pulse rise time required to ensure high pulse efficiency strictly limits the number of transformer wind

Objective: Although targeted approaches have become available in second- and third-line settings, platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard first-line treatment for advanced muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Therefore, the prediction of platinum resistance is of utmost clinical importance. Methods: In this study, we established a routine compatible method for the molecular classificati

The contribution of germline copy number variants (CNVs) to risk of developing cancer in individuals with pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 variants remains relatively unknown. We conducted the largest genome-wide analysis of CNVs in 15,342 BRCA1 and 10,740 BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers. We used these results to prioritise a candidate breast cancer risk-modifier gene for laboratory analysis and biolog

For the broader industrial usage of metal additive manufactured parts, especially made by laser powder bed fusion, a better prediction and understanding of the warpage and of eigenstresses within the final part are necessary. Due to the diverse and sophisticated metallurgical and thermal processes during production, physically motivated simulations are rather complex and time consuming. Therefore,

This paper discusses a Python interface for the recently published Dune-Fem-DG module which provides highly efficient implementations of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving a wide range of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Although the C++ interfaces of Dune-Fem-DG are highly flexible and customizable, a solid knowledge of C++ is necessary to make use of this powerful

Scholars and policy makers have intensely debated institutional reforms of the United Nations (UN) since its creation. Yet, relatively little attention has been given to institutional design preferences among the public in UN member states. This study examines two questions: Which possible rules concerning UN authority and representation do citizens prefer? Which personal and country characteristi

Oat (Avena sativa L.) is an important and nutritious cereal crop, and there is a growing need to identify genes that contribute to improved oat varieties. Here we utilize a newly sequenced and annotated oat reference genome to locate and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting agronomic and grain-quality traits in five oat populations. We find strong and significant associations betw

This study explores the experiences of Swedish upper secondary school chemistry students working with a socioscientific issue about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in everyday products, and how they perceive that this teaching has influenced them in their role as citizens in a democratic society. Data collection has been carried out on several occasions over a period of one and a half y

Willingness to pay (WTP) for booster doses of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines is an under studied research topic. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the WTP for the booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines and its predictors in Indonesia using an online survey distributed all over the provinces of this low-middle-income country. The WTP was evaluated using a basic dichotomous
