Purpose: The purpose is to explore a potential adoption of RFID technology in Spanish oranges producers´ outbound flow of the grey RFID-tagged plastic pallets that are delivered to Swedish wholesalers. The exploration will be focus on aspects regarding RFID technology, like level of knowledge and awareness, the willingness to invest on it, the attitude of the companies regarding the adoption, the
Global demands for water continue to rise while at the same time, the availability of reliable water resources are deteriorating. As 70% of the world’s human consumption of water resources is directed towards agricultural production, the need to improve water use efficiency and sustainability in these areas is of utmost importance. In order to tackle these issues, the concept of “Integrated water
Quantication of cardiovascular flow and blood volumes are useful tools in diagnosing cardiovascular disease such as congenital heart defects and different kinds of valve leakage. Medical imaging techniques enables non-invasive analysis of anatomy and physiology. In order to perform flow quantification from medical image sequences, the boundaries of the vessels of interest are usually delineated ma
Issue of study: Today, in an information-driven economy, it is more important than ever to be innovative. Developing new ways to create and deliver value is the main method of competition in the business world. Although the picture differs widely from the industrial age, the principals used to manage these companies and employees are same as a century ago. Paying people will just make them do what
The purpose of this paper is to deliver a clearer picture regarding the possible effects of the in-store TV screens on consumers’ impulse purchase decision and how factors such as the gender and generation can influence the consumers’ behavior towards this digital signage. Therefore this objective academic paper will contribute to bring discernment and relevant material for future studies through
Personer som flyr förföljelse och dylikt gör det i många fall utan ID-handlingar eller andra nödvändiga dokument som kan stödja deras asylberättelse. På grund av detta präglas asylmål i regel av omfattande bevissvårigheter, vilket resulterar i att sökandens utsaga får central betydelse vid bevisvärderingen. Detta kan vara problematiskt då asylsökanden ofta möter hinder i asylprocessen som försvåraPeople fleeing persecution and other unpleasantries often do so without ID or other necessary documents to support their asylum story. Due to this, asylum cases are usually characterised by their extensive evidentiary difficulties, resulting in the applicant’s testimony being of central importance in the evidence assessment. This can be problematic as asylum seekers often face obstacles in the asy
Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which

No-regret options generate net social and/or economic benefits at any climate conditions, including the present time. They are often determined as the ‘key to moving forward despite uncertainty’ This study investigate the level of recognition of no-regret adaptation strategies in the climate change policy framework in Thailand as well as to examine the approaches to raise the priority of no-regret
Metan är en effektiv växthusgas som har stor betydelse för det globala klimatet. Metanemissioner från våtmarker med underliggande permafrost anses bidra väsentligt till dynamiken som styr koncentrationen av metan i atmosfären på de nordliga breddgraderna. Under nedfrysningen av marken hösten 2007 uppmättes ett stort utsläpp av metan vid en mätstation på nordöstra Grönland. Mängden metan motsvaradeMethane is an effective greenhouse gas of vital importance to global climate. Methane emissions from permafrost dominated peatlands contribute significantly to the dynamics of the high-latitude atmospheric methane concentration. During the freezing period of autumn 2007 a large methane emission peak was recorded at a peatland in northeast Greenland. The integral of this abrupt peak was equivalent
The aim of this study was to look into the discretion that the probation officer executes in cooperating with lay supervisors. In Sweden about fifty percent of the offenders sentenced to probation or on parole have lay supervisors and these supervisors are appointed by the probation officers. I asked the officers what they were looking for in a lay supervisor, certain qualifications or personaliti
This paper examines the weak form EMH regarding to the china’s stock markets and the role of WTO accession in the market efficiency. We consider A share and B share and composite index traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange using daily data for 6 indexes for the period from the earliest available data to 2008/03/14. We assume WTO accession plays a positive role in the Ch
The purpose of this master thesis is to present a model that illuminates the important factors when deriving technical information from market data within a company. For companies to be able to become and stay competitive in the market, product quality is an important factor. Whilst good product quality leads to customer satisfaction and loyalty, lack of quality brings costs in service and replace

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To describe the study design of a randomised controlled trial with the aim of comparing two different regimes for children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes; hospital-based care and hospital-based home care. BACKGROUND: Procedures for hospital admission and sojourn in connection with diagnose vary greatly worldwide and the existing evidence is insufficient to allow for any c
This doctoral thesis has its theoretical origin in the notion that the information flow between management teams, financial analysts and investors is especially exposed to information asymmetry when knowledge-intense companies are concerned. Information asymmetry may aggravate agency problems and risk causing an impairment of the efficient allocation of capital on the stock market. Therefore, the
Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a serine protease, which is predominantly expressed by the prostate gland and found in seminal plasma at mean levels of 6 mg/ml. It has 79% amino acid sequence identity with prostate-specific antigen (PSA or hK3). The aim of this work was to produce hK2 by recombinant expression technologies in order to study its biochemical and biological properties and its
As the concept of gentrification celebrates an even forty years, some of the most basic questions about the process itself remain contentious. What is gentrification? What are its root causes? There is surely no lack of answers, though these are largely stamped by disciplined convention. The purpose of this chapter is to revisit these basic questions and formulate answers that facilitate “having g
The modernisation of Swedish households during the twentieth century prompted a considerable productivity growth in household production. This paper examines the association between this process and the allocation of female time in Swedish urban households during the period 1920-1990. Estimates presented in the paper suggest a minimum potential time reduction for a fixed volume of routine househol
Various ecosystems, including shallow lakes, are suggested to possess alternative stable state dynamics. The response of such systems to environmental change is non-linear and not fully reversible, which calls for identification of feedback mechanisms and subtle changes connected to structural stability. Here, we used a 25-year data series on water chemistry to make inferences on processes prior t
