New interactive information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up new possibilities in the field of distance education. The traditional distance education organisations are challenged by conventional universities who have developed into dual mode institutions using interactive ICT. This challenge from conventional universities may also involve a conceptual challenge - from distribution

Traditionally, liquid food processing equipment has been designed and engineered from a static perspective, where it has been taken for granted that dynamic behaviour easily could be handled by “add on” of control equipment such as sensors and computers with control programs including control loops. However, as production demands, e.g. mixing accuracy, are escalated, this approach fails, and the i

It is disclosed a circuit for extracorporeal blood treatment in which a flow-inverting device is interposed between a blood treatment unit and a blood pump placed on an artery branch connected with a vascular access of a patient. The flow-inverting device allows the blood flow within the filtering unit to be kept unchanged even following an inverted circulation in the patient-side artery and vein

The key success factor for companies is to develop and deliver services and products that satisfy customer needs and create customer value. When introducing e-businesses as a new channel, it is becoming increasingly important to consider customers, since they will have a higher level of influence on the company through the interactive channel.

There is a variety of options in the Thai countryside today, especially in an area like San Sai in Northern Thailand, situated in the vicinity of a city. What are the arguments for staying within the agricultural sector? As the economy grows, the demand for new products is increasing, creating opportunities for those who want to invest in agriculture. But it has also become more difficult to be a

Vi har under kursen Molekylär Cellbiologi för Ekosystemvetare vid LTH undersökt studenternas förmåga att bedöma muntliga projektredovisningar och jämfört den med lärarnas. Under kursen genomförde studenterna ett projekt där en muntlig gruppredovisning, med efterföljande kamratdiskussion och försvar, bedömdes och poängsattes av en opponerande studentgrupp och ett lärarlag. Vår undersökning visade a

The base of the world economic pyramid, generally called the base of the pyramid (BoP), consists of four billion people with average per day income of four dollars. While some authors suggest a systems approach to design and develop products and services (i.e. interventions) for BoP markets, a little work has been carried out in this area. Furthermore, a framework to represent interventions in the

Gränsdragningar om vad som ska värderas som önskvärt respektive icke-önskvärt beteende är inte något nytt fenomen, nytt är sätten på vilka gränssättningarna idag görs (Qvortrup & Rüsselbæk Hansen, 2014). Om mänskligt (avvikande) beteende tidigare till stor del har kommit att betraktas genom en psykologisk lins (Rose, 1995) är idag det patologiska landskapet neurologiskt präglat (Han, 2013), vi
