To find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana, a multi-criteria spatial-based model is developed using the GIS-MCE approach. In respect to the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approach, in this research a set of criteria is classified under 3 themes – economic, environmental and social. To determine the criterion and theme weights and perform their aggre

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to contribute to the knowledge about Generation Z in the consumer society context, through a critical investigation of the possible negative impacts of the internalization of the consumerist mentality within the digital capitalist society. This is relevant since such internalization could interfere with the capacity of individuals to maintain long-term rela

The social and environmental impacts associated with corporate water use and discharge in Kazakhstan is historically high, and in certain watershed pose a significant threat to the health of the local communities and ecosystems. Today the industries are consuming almost a third of freshwater and remain one of the biggest polluters in the country. The situation is aggravated with the changing clima

Title: Using scenarios to balance future requirements and capability development Author: Erik Jacobsson Division: Production Management Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson at the Technical Faculty of Lund University, Innovation Advisor at the case company Keywords: Scenarios, Corporate development, Energy Sector, Capabilities, Technology Background: The speed of change in the world is ever increasing

Title: “Language is access to everything” - A qualitative study of SFI-teachers' experience of the transition to digitalized distance education. Authors: Rania Elwan and Fitore Mehmeti Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Assessor: Maria Bergendal Arvidsson The purpose of the study is to investigate from teachers for Swedish for immigrants (SFI) perspective how the transition to digitalized distance ed

Title: Destination branding through local food products: The case of Südtirol / Alto Adige Date of the Seminar: 4th of June 2020 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Florian Felder & Edoardo Macelloni Supervisor: Tommy Shih Keywords: Destination branding, food tourism, inverse country of origin, stakeholder collaboration, Südtirol / Alto Adige Thesis purpose: The pu

Food insecurity is a reality faced by millions of people worldwide. Poor access and availability to food markets, poverty, and uncertain global system futures all exacerbate this issue. In seeking to combat food insecurity for South Carolina residents and improve the viability and resilience of local food markets around Greenville County, South Carolina, this assessment determines optimal potentia

Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the

I en så kallad synkrotronljuskälla utvinns synkrotronljus från elektroner som färdas runt en lagringsring i nära ljusets hastighet. Detta ljus kan användas för att bedriva olika sorters experiment med syftet att studera strukturer och egenskaper hos olika material. MAX IV i Lund är en modern synkrotronljuskälla, där synkrotonljuset används av många olika forskargrupper med lika många intressen ochMAX IV laboratory is a modern synchrotron light source, providing synchrotron radiation for a wide array of research groups. To provide users with high-quality synchrotron radiation, the electron beam from which the synchrotron radiation stems needs to be well understood. This thesis describes a first implementation of time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) as a tool to measure longitudina

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en avsevärd del av Sveriges klimatpåverkan och resursanvändning, där stålproduktionen är en betydande faktor. Trots att stål är ett material med hög återvinningsgrad är direktåterbruket av bärande stålkomponenter i dagsläget begränsat. Detta utgör en outnyttjad potential för att minska koldioxidutsläpp och främja en cirkulär ekonomi, där Design för Demontering The construction and real estate sector accounts for a considerable share of Sweden's climate impact and resource use, with steel production being a significant factor. Although steel is a material with a high recycling rate, the direct reuse of load-bearing steel components is currently limited. This represents an untapped potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting a circul

Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur upprepade likar-tade välfärdsbedrägerier i form av bidragsbrott enligt bidragsbrottslagen (2007:612), särskilt när de bedöms vara systematiskt begångna, hanteras inom rättssystemet. Genom att undersöka hur fenomenet systematisk brottslighet kommer till uttryck och klargöra begreppet systematik och analysera dess till-lämpning inom straffräThe overall purpose of this essay is to investigate how repeated similar wel-fare frauds in the form of benefit crimes according to the Swedish Benefit Crimes Act (bidragsbrottslagen (2007:612)), especially when they are judged to have been systematically committed, are handled within the legal system. By investigating how the phenomenon of systematic crime is expressed, clari-fying the concept of

This thesis investigates the operational performance of IKEA’s Order-Initiated Flow (OIF) model for the Food Category in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It examines how extended lead times impact product availability, shelf life, and cost efficiency, and identifies the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. The research aims to evaluate the alignment between the desig

Background: Logistics within the food industry have been under increased pressure in recent years due to factors such as the invasion of Ukraine and Covid-19. This has put additional focus on efficiency throughout the supply chain, including warehousing activities. Warehousing has historically often been seen as a burden as it provides limited value-adding activities which means organizations cons

Since the feminist movement developed today, women still face the challenges of gender inequality. In some countries, women even cannot see the hope for change. Hence, when aiming to counteract gender inequality, it is important to address the macro level and the micro level. The research focuses on the micro level of resistance to gender inequality instead of large-scale protest movements to exp

The main goal with this thesis was to investigate the possibility to reduce the number of blades in a high pressure gas turbine row. The reason for this study was the interest to reduce the amount of cooling air needed within the blade row by reducing the wetted area, hopefully without losing efficiency. Another reason for reducing the number of blades was to reduce the costs. A new design of an

Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. Especially people that live in areas where grains and legumes are the staple food source, as well as vegan and vegetarian groups, may be more vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The presence of phenolic compounds i

What does Candida have in common with vaginal microbiota? We share our body with millions of microbes, which share a common space and interact tightly. All the interactions between them are important for keeping a good microenvironment. However, there is always a disruption of what should be otherwise a comfortable place to live. Such changes can be subtle or can affect entire communities of micr

Emittenters skyldighet att offentliggöra insiderinformation enligt marknadsmissbruksförordningen (MAR) är betydelsefull för att upprätthålla en transparent och effektiv värdepappersmarknad med allmänhetens förtroende.
