This paper investigates the decision-making processes of mayors on the municipal level in Brandenburg, Germany, to support 100% renewable energy policies as well as the respective key success factors. Three different cases and their specific settings are examined: (1) Turnow-Preilack with Germany's largest solar power plant, (2) Prenzlau, a town claiming the title 'City of Renewable Energy’ and (3
An aqueous system containing fluorapatite (Ca-5(PO4)(3)F), (FAP) and varying amounts of goethite (alpha-FeOOH) has been investigated. Batch experiments and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy were used to monitor the dissolution products of FAP, as well as the adsorption, and phase transformation of phosphate at the goethite surface over a period of 129
A critical issue for brand fan page marketing is to drive consumer engagement and to or- chestrate enjoyable engagement experiences that consumers desire. Despite the growing amount of research on how various characteristics of brand posts would influence different levels of consumer engagement on the brand fan page in the Western context, the study of consumers’ intrinsic motivations for engageme
Policy on Planning for Children and Youth in urbanization environment. Enriching Urban Cityscape for Children and Youth through Scandinavian (Swedish and Danish) child methodology on the old European planning model. In this model, traffic management has the most potential in planning. For the study Dhanmondi, the site planned during the British Empire, was chosen within the capital city Dhaka, Ban
When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar
During the second half of August and the first part of September 2017, I radiotracked several European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) around the Stensoffa area in Southern Sweden. Several locations were taken for each bird each night, including diurnal roost and nocturnal points composed by flying and resting behaviours. Being a long-distance migrator already on the way south during autumn migr
The average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee
The city of Chennai evolved around the river, Cooum. The river supports irrigation to agricultural fields in the north and supplies water to the city of Chennai. It also acts as a major flood carrier for the city. Before the 1960s, the river was clean and used for activities such as bathing, boating and fishing. During the colonial rule, the city was initially planned to sustain a much lesser popu
Galectin-1 is a member of the carbohydrate-binding protein family galectins. Galectins are involved in the immune system. However, in cancer growth, galectin-1 is overproduced to not make the immune system respond. Therefore, inhibitors of the protein were synthesized to make the immune system approach the cancer and respond. From previous studies and simulations on the computer program Maestro di
Rondo är en byggnad på Lisebergs nöjesfält som uppfördes 1940 och har genomgått förändringar både av byggnaden och av verksamheten sedan dess. Brandskyddet varierar genom byggnaden beroende på hur moderna delarna är och en verifiering av Rondos brandskydd är därför relevant. Rapporten syftar därför till att utvärdera Rondos brandskydd; målet med rapporten blir då att analysera de brandscenarierRondo is a building at Liseberg amusement park that was constructed in 1940, and both the building and the establishment have since gone through several changes. As a result, the degree of fire protection of the building varies depending on the modernity of the parts. A verification of the functionality of the fire protection is therefore relevant. The report aims to evaluate the fire protectio
This thesis aims to unpack Danish academic knowledge production at the individual, institutional, societal, and systemic levels related to Islamophobia in Denmark. It raises central questions on the role of reflexivity in academic writing, employed epistemic frameworks, and autonomy of Danish academic knowledge production from law, politics, and media. Drawing on a theoretical framework around Is
Unlike effects associated with eutrophication and marine plastics, few are aware of the negative environmental impacts sand dredging can have on marine ecosystems. Major habitat losses, changes in salinity and increased turbidity impose a potential threat to a large variety of marine and brackish species. Even worse is the fact that few people know that sand extraction currently is taking place wi

Syftet med denna studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur medarbetarna ser på sin användning av LinkedIn i förhållande till sin organisation. För att uppnå detta krävs en djupare förståelse för medarbetares användning och upplevelse av LinkedIn. Tidigare studier som undersöker LinkedIn har främst fokuserat på hur rekryterare kan använda plattformen och inte hur enskilda medarbetare använder plattfoThe purpose of this study is to contribute with knowledge about how employees perceive their LinkedIn usage in relation to their organization. To increase the awareness of how organizations can work strategically with LinkedIn the link between organizations and employees has been studied. Other studies examining LinkedIn have mostly had a recruiter perspective or have not considered users as emplo
In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t
The bleeding patterns of severe von Willebrand's disease (VWD) adversely affect quality of life, and may be life threatening. There is a presumed role for prophylaxis with VWF-containing concentrates, but data are scarce. The von Willebrand Disease Prophylaxis Network (VWD PN) was formed to investigate the role of prophylaxis in clinically severe VWD that is not responsive to other treatment(s). U
The effect of Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12) and Lactobacillus salivarius (UCC500) on the formation of carboxylic acids (CAs) was studied in the hindgut of rats fed pectin, inulin of low solubility, and lactitol. When the pectin diet was supplemented with Bb-12, the formation of CAs was larger throughout the colon of rats, due to increased formation of acetic acid (P < 0.01) and, in the distal par
Sea turtles are known to perform long-distance, oceanic migrations between disparate feeding areas and breeding sites, some of them located on isolated oceanic islands. These migrations demonstrate impressive navigational abilities, but the sensory mechanisms used are still largely unknown. Green turtles breeding at Ascension Island perform long oceanic migrations (>2200 km) between foraging areas
In this article, we review recent theoretical work that has complemented the extensive experimental data available for multicopper oxidases (MCO) and led to the elucidation of the reaction mechanism of this class of enzymes. The MCOs couple four one-electron oxidations of substrates at the mononuclear type 1 copper (Cu-T1) site with the four-electron reduction of dioxygen at the trinuclear copper
We present a model for developing health services for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa and other places where MSM are heavily stigmatized and marginalized. The processes of the SPEND model include Safe treatment for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV; Pharmacy sites for treatment of STIs in countries where pharmacies and drug stores are the source of medical advi
