In knowledge based industries, how has the changing economic climate in the United States altered hiring and training programs? Technology related jobs have faced a shortage of educated workers in the past and this trend was expected to continue in the future (See Waiting for Superman). With this situation in mind, has this sector followed the stereotype of the recession by laying off workers and
The purpose of my task was to map the pallet flows at Findus and put together as well as analyze the problems. My work has also included finding out what alternatives there are to the present pallet exchange system and suggest measures to reduce the problems. The problems can be divided into poor quality and hygiene issues. The poor quality, for instance poor strength is due to arbitrary judgemen
Popular Abstract in Swedish Även om civil flygindustri har genomgått stora teknologiska och kommersiella förändringar under de senaste årtiondena så har grundläggande civil flygutbildning inte förändrats på motsvarande sätt. Förändringarna inom civilflyget har sällan resulterat i forskningsprogram med inriktning mot grundläggande flygutbildning och denna utbildningsfas har länge varit föremål för Although the civil aviation industry has gone through great technological and commercial change in the last decades, basic civil aviation training has not kept pace accordingly. The changes in civil aviation have rarely resulted in research programs in the field of basic training, which has long received minimal attention from the industry. In the research presented in this thesis, methods for und
In January 2014 a new system for archival description will take effect in all Swedish government agencies, as prescribed by the Swedish National archives. This system is based upon the notion of processes as a way to describe organizations; processes containing activities and transactions that renders traces of information. It is a system that is fundamentally different from the preceding one. The
Inom ett demokratiskt samhälle är likhet inför lagen en av de viktigaste principerna. Men är den möjligt att uppfylla i praktiken? Går det överhuvudtaget att behandla människor lika trots att vi ständigt delar in varandra i olika kategorier? I Sverige idag tilldelas alla barn ett juridiskt kön redan vid födseln. Beroende på om barnet anses vara en flicka eller en pojke följer sedan helt olika förvEquality before the law is one of the most important principles within a democratic society. But can it be put into practice? Is it at all possible to treat people equally in a society where we constantly divide each other into different categories? Today in Sweden, all children are assigned a legal sex at birth. We have different expectations on what qualities a child is supposed to have dependin
Skogsbruket är viktigt för svenskt näringsliv och står för ungefär 20 % av Sveriges totala export. Efterfrågan på virke blir därmed stor vilket resulterar i att avverkning sker ständigt, året om, på all typ av mark under alla olika sorters väderförhållanden. Ett stort problem inom skogsbruket är de markskador som ofta uppstår efter en slutförd avverkning. Markskador ändrar markens textur och egensForestry is important for Swedish industry and accounts for 20% of Sweden’s total export. The endless demand of wood results in logging all year round, but other aspects have to be taken into consideration. The ecology, forest recreation and the outdoor activities that the forest is providing is very important to preserve. A major problem in forestry is the soil damage after a successful harvest.
The Yellow River Basin Commission (YRCC) is struggling with demand and supply water imbalances due to inter-jurisdictional rivalries, and has consequently promoted the development of water rights trading to incentivize provinces from not exceeding their allocated withdrawals in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). This thesis employs the case of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to examine factors that facil
Problemställning: Till följd av Bergendahls Foods tillväxt de senaste åren har företagets transportplanering blivit allt mer komplex. Planeringen sker i dagsläget manuellt vilket gör att slutresultatet kommer allt längre från det optimala. För att anpassa planering och transporter till den ökande efterfrågan krävs en grundlig genomsyn av transporterna. Studien ämnar därför göra en kartläggning ochProblem: The manual transportation planning at Bergendahls Food has recent years become increasingly complex due to the growth in demand. In order to adjust to the changes, Bergendahls Food requires a thorough mapping of their transportation activities. The lack of supporting IT-system obstructs the ongoing transport review why this case study aims to map and analyze the transports in order to inv
The industry of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly during the last decade, with for example carbon nanotubes (CNTs) incorporated in high-tech composites and nanosized TiO2 in sunscreens and paint. With an increased potential of human exposure to these novel ENPs, especially during production and handling of nanoparticles, the concern of risks when people become exposed has increased
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns över 500 kräftarter i världen och vi hittar dem på alla kontinenter utom Antarktis och Arktis. I Sverige finns två arter, den inhemska flodkräftan och den introducerade signalkräftan. Signalkräftan introducerades till stor del för att ersätta förlusten av flodkräfta i många pestdrabbade vatten i södra Sverige. Att det just blev signalkräftan berodde främst på In this thesis I examine the dynamics of crayfish in streams and lakes. I have studied the influence of abiotic and biotic factors on abundance, growth, trophic position, niche breadth, and recruitment of crayfish, by conducting field studies, an outdoor channel experiment and timeseries analysis. Overall, the results show that abundance of crayfish is mostly affected by the abundance of predatory
The paper reports a project conducted within the framework of the National Library of Sweden's Expert Group on Library Statistics. The project is financed by the National Library of Sweden, and it aims to capture how library managements make use of the current library statistics (based on the ISO-standard) in the decision-making process. Questions are also asked about the quality and usefulness of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Malign hypertermi, ärftligt och farligt vid narkos – hur diagnostiseras det ? I april 1960 sövdes en yngling i Australien. Han var mycket orolig därför att tio släktingar dött av eter-narkos. Han sövdes i stället med ett nytt medel – halotan, det höll på att kosta även honom livet. En kortfattad fallbeskrivning i Lancet fick stor uppmärksamhet och på andra ställen i väMalignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a rare inherited muscular disorder, which may cause a lethal increase in metabolism during anaesthesia with certain commonly used anaesthetic. Susceptible individuals are without any signs or symptoms. It is important to identify individuals at risk, since the MH reaction is preventable. Susceptibility to MH is diagnosed with an in vitro contracture te
A description and analysis of organizations and institutions responsible for land use planning and transport planning in a fast growing African metropolitan area, Dar-es-Salaam.
Maritime archaeological investigations of the wreck of the medieval warship Gribshunden (1495), flagship of King Hans of Denmark and Norway, have revealed diverse artifacts including exotic spices imported from far distant origins: saffron, ginger, clove, peppercorns, and almond. The special circumstances of the vessel's last voyage add unique context to the assemblage. Gribshunden and an accompan
Aims: Preclinical and human studies suggest that a social partner's genotype may be associated with addiction-related outcomes. This study measured whether spousal genetic makeup is associated with risk of developing drug use disorder (DUD) during marriage and whether the risk associated with a spouse's genotype could be disentangled from potentially confounding rearing environmental effects. Desi
BACKGROUND: Central sensitization has been suggested as an explanation of the wide range of gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms commonly seen in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In this study, the presence and level of central sensitization, and its association to gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were explored in IBS in comparison with control groups.METHODS: We investigated patients with I
The characteristics of an Elekta amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) in response to a 6 MV photon beam generated without a flattening filter, an unflattened beam, have been determined. The characteristics were then compared to those for a conventional photon beam generated with a flattening filter in the beam, a flattened beam, in order to determine the suitability of
The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also hinge on male investment strategies in sexually cannibalistic species. In many spiders, males perform energetically costly courtship rituals to increase acceptance by females and minimise the risk of sexual cannibalism. However, due to sperm competition, males may invest less energy whe
