The fast food industry is one of the important and growing segments of the overall restaurant industry. At the same time, it is a very dynamic and competitive business where too many vendors are chasing too few clients.To maintain sustainable growth and long-term success it is crucial to meet consumer needs and offer value to them. In order to achieve this, fast food providers must first evaluate
Work Shop B at ITT Flygt manufactures submersible pumps primarily for the construction industry and are today using an assembly principle, working on benches. Because of the demand on short delivery times and great variations of orders during the year there is a high pressure on the work shop. Because of the aspects above, the work shop wants to investigate whether it is possible to find a model f
Climate change is considered to be among the most serious threats to the sustainability of the world's environment, the health and well being of its people and the global economy. The rising levels of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere are expected to cause a rise in global temperatures. In Kyoto, December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was written under which industrialised countries have ad
Genom äktenskapsförord har makar möjlighet att reglera sina egendomsförhållanden vid en eventuell skilsmässa. Om en make anser att ett eller flera villkor i äktenskapsförordet är oskäliga kan denne åberopa jämkning enligt bestämmelsen i 12 kap. 3 § Äktenskapsbalken (SFS 1987:230) (ÄktB). I förarbetena till lagen, prop.1986/87:1, uttalade departementschefen att bestämmelsen ska tillämpas restriktivThrough prenuptial agreements, spouses have the opportunity to regulate their economic conditions in case of a divorce. If one spouse finds one or more conditions in the agreement to be unreasonable, they can appeal for adjustment of this through the regulation in 12 ch. 3 § ÄktB (the Swedish martial law). In the legislative history of the law, prop.1986/87:1, the minister expressed that the admin
Drained peatlands in Sweden emit approximately 11 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually. Attempts to rewet to eliminate emissions have shown that the irreversible processes of peat oxidation in the form of peatland deposition makes it hard, since it instead greatly increases methane gas emissions. This study presents a literature review of the environmental consequences of peat and peatland
Over the past few decades, employee engagement has been increasingly recognised as a key driver of organisational success. Although previous research has examined psychological and organisational factors influencing engagement, few studies have examined how it varies over time. This study explores the dynamic and sustainable aspects of employee engagement in Swedish organisations, focusing on how
Title: Where Identity Meets Meaning - An interpretivist qualitative case study on identity construction in mission-driven non-profit organisations Authors: Leonie Erika Renate Brake and Emily Florentine Horn Supervisor: Stefan Sveningsson, Professor of Business Administration Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden Submission Date: 25th of May 2025 Purpose: This study aims to un
This work studies the mechanism behind the photo-degradation of 2 types of COF nanoparticle, hoping to provide a deeper understanding of photophysics of catalytic process. As a new field of organic materials, COFs are undergoing fast development, which offers a powerful molecular platform for complex structural design and tailorable development. Lots of studies have been carried out to figure out
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the associations between impaired spirometry such as obstructive pattern and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and occurrent cardiovascular events and deaths in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: Cohort study of 517 patients with age ≥40 years and ≥10 pack-years of smoking, hospitalized for myocardial infarction at eig
Objective: In previous studies, atherosclerotic vascular events (AVEs) were shown to occur in ~10% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We undertook this study to investigate the annual occurrence and potential risk factors for AVEs in a multinational, multiethnic inception cohort of patients with SLE. Methods: A large 33-center cohort of SLE patients was followed up yearly between
Although vegetation phenology thresholds have been developed for a wide range of mapping applications, their use for assessing the distribution of natural bamboo and the related carbon stocks is still limited, especially in Southeast Asia. Here, we used Google Earth Engine (GEE) to collect time-series of Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Sentinel-2 images and employed a phenology-based t
The demand for better methods for condition control and monitoring of embankment dams will increase in a near future as a result of expected more extreme weather situations. Furthermore the availability demand on hydropower will increase as a result of switching from fossil fuels to wind and solar power, in some countries in combination with decommissioning of nuclear power. Temperature monitoring
PurposeTo investigate long-term effects of intravitreal injections on visual outcome, retinal function and structure in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO eyes) and macular oedema and compare with untreated CRVO eyes to determine the long-term effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor on photoreceptor cell function.MethodsA retrospective study of 38 eyes from 38 CRVO patients.
Objectives:Assess the extent to which the clinical trial registration and reporting policies of 25 of the world’s largest public and philanthropic medical research funders meet best practice benchmarks as stipulated by the 2017 WHO Joint Statement, and document changes in the policies and monitoring systems of 19 European funders over the past year.Design, Setting, Participants:Cross-sectional stu
BACKGROUND: Patients with mental illness have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to the rest of the population, which is partly related to unhealthy lifestyle habits. To individualise lifestyle counselling in primary care, the Swedish-developed Health Dialogue (HD) can be used as an educative tool at recurrent measurement points with the goal to improve non-health
Despite the benefits of a diverse approach to crop pollination, global food production remains reliant on a low diversity of managed pollinators, especially the European honey bee (Apis mellifera). To facilitate more robust pollinator management and improve the resilience of the production system, it is necessary to understand regional variation in the pollination ecology of global food crops. Wat
The goal of the thesis is to present the thorough documentation and analysis of a private dwelling in Pompeii, the Casa del Torello di Bronzo (V 1,7), the largest and most dominating dwelling in insula V, and in particular its complex system of water use and distribution. The work is embedded in the on-going study of the entire insula, carried out by the Swedish Pompeii Project, so that it will ul
Gardens are important habitats for pollinators, providing floral resources and nesting sites. There are high levels of public support for growing ‘pollinator-friendly’ plants but while plant recommendation lists are available, they are usually inconsistent, poorly supported by scientific research and target a narrow group of pollinators. In order to supply the most appropriate resources, there is
This dissertation investigates how the ageing process affected income, work, and family structures, and how broader economic forces shaped the living standards of older adults in 19th-century Stockholm. It situates individual life cycles within the wider context of 19th-century economic and demographic change. Through an integrated micro-historical analysis of household earnings, savings, poverty
