Denna uppsats jämför de lagstiftningstekniker som valdes av Sverige respektive Storbritannien för att implementera den del av Postdirektivet som omfattar de samhällsomfattande posttjänsterna och vilka resultat respektive land har uppnått. Den utvärderar även EU:s val av regleringsmetod. Motivet bakom Postdirektivet, som trädde ikraft 1997, var EU:s vilja att försäkra invånarna tillgång till samhäThis essay compares the different ways that Sweden and Great Britain respectively chose to implement the part of the Postal Directive that include the universal services and the results that have been achieved by each country. It also evaluates the EU's choice of regulatory approach. The motive behind the Postal Directive, which came into force in 1997, was the EU's desire to assure resid

Severe environmental degradation worldwide calls for imperative action from human society. Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), which constitute an important component in almost every economic entity in the world, are subject to growing concern, as their environmental performance is essential to regional and global environmental protection and sustainable industrial development. Due to the

Kevin Roberts has extended the comprehension of strong consumer brands to a higher level where loyalty beyond reason is established. He calls this new status Lovemarks. As the concept of Lovemark has only been applied in B2C markets, this thesis is directed to find out the applicability of Lovemarks in B2B context. In order to fulfill the research purpose, three main questions are answered based o

High school educators and administrators are increasingly concerned about educating and engaging their students in sustainability issues. Consequently, curricula in many schools are being redesigned in order to focus upon these issues and their consequences. This thesis describes a project, ‘Scholen voor Duurzaamheid’ (Schools for Sustainability, SvD), that is being used as a springboard in Dutch

This thesis contains two studies focusing on motivation in learning and teaching French as a foreign language in Sweden. In the first study, the effect of three specifically designed pedagogical activities on learners’ Ideal French Self (IFrS) and Intended Effort (IE) was examined in a group of 15-year-old Swedish pupils. No significant difference could be found between the two intervention classe

This a contribution to the cultural semiotics of African cultural encounters seen through the eyes of Swedish naturalists at the end of the eighteenth century. European travellers faced severe problems in understanding the alien African cultures they encountered; they even had difficulty understanding the other culture as a culture. They were not just other cultures that they could relate to, but

Orientation for insects in olfactory landscapes with high semiochemical diversity may be a challenging task. The partitioning of odor plumes into filaments that are interspersed with pockets of ‘clean air’ may help filament discrimination and upwind flight to attractive sources in the face of inhibitory signals. We studied the effect of distance between odor sources on trap catches of the beetle,

In many natural ecosystems, predation is well recognized as a strong evolutionary force, and predator-mediated selection has been demonstrated to induce changes in prey morphology, life history and behaviour. In my thesis, I have focused on behavioural responses in aquatic prey under the risk of predation. I have used two different species of prey, the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) from high and low

The influence of mass-transfer limitations on the performance of immobilized a-chymotrypsin operating in acetonitrile medium has been investigated. The enzyme was immobilized by deposition on various porous carrier materials such as celite, polyamides of different particle sizes, controlled-pore glasses, polypropylene or polyacrylamides. When carrying out kinetically controlled peptide synthesis r

New anti-inflammatory drugs with fewer adverse effects than existing drugs may prove to be useful in the treatment of several inflammatory disorders. A critical step in acute inflammation is the infiltration of neutrophils into tissues. Therefore, molecules that target and inhibit this early inflammatory event are attractive to engineer to suit medical needs. The Chemotaxis Inhibitory Protein of

A Slow Sand Filter (SSF) consists of biofilm attached to saturated packed sand with supernatant water on top, through which water flows by gravity. SSFs are used in the production of drinking water to improve water quality and remove pathogens, and, as they use biological filtration via the microbes present in the biofilm, they are simple and cheap to construct. A drawback of SSFs is that the diff

The development of neuromorphic computing requires devices that can use low power consumption and highly parallel architecture to process and store information, similar to the biological nervous systems. Molecular photoswitches, especially Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts (DASAs), offer a promising platform for such applications, because they undergo reversible, light-driven structural changes and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kostfiber kallas de kolhydrater från växtriket som inte bryts ner under matsmältningen och därför når tjocktarmen i stort sett opåverkade. Kostfiber finns till exempel i våra fyra sädesslag, havre, råg, korn och vete, vilka alla är cerealier. Framför allt är det de yttre delarna av cerealiekärnorna, klidelen, som innehåller mycket kostfiber. I cerealier är de vanligasteIt is well known that dietary fibre is good for the health. Cereals, and in particular the outer parts of the cereal kernels, are rich in dietary fibre. Rye bran, wheat bran, oat bran and barley fibre have been investigated regarding their suitability as additives in low-fat meat products. Two types of meat products, frankfurter-type sausages and meatballs have been evaluated in this thesis. In th

Electrical machines, chokes and induction heaters are found in most homes,offices and factories all over the world. They are used to create movement, filtrate the power or to generate heat. A typical unit consist of a coil and a flux conductor material. Some of the materials have been established for over 100 years, while others are only a couple of decades old.A new flux conductor material has be

Background Leaf-cutting ants live in symbiosis with a fungus that they rear for food by providing it with live plant material. Until recently the fungus' main inferred function was to make otherwise inaccessible cell wall degradation products available to the ants, but new studies have shed doubt on this idea. To provide evidence for the cell wall degrading capacity of the attine ant symbiont, we

The objective of this work was to design and evaluate an experimental setup to be used for field studies of particle formation in biomass gasification processes. The setup includes a high-temperature dilution probe and a denuder to separate solid particles from condensable volatile material. The efficiency of the setup to remove volatile material from the sampled stream and the influence from cond

Why is waste such an important topic for understanding the management of overflow? First, because waste is a classic symbol of overflow: to be flooded with too much stuff that demands handling, sorting, and decision-making is a feeling well known in consumer society. Facts and figures speak of the same overflow. Waste disposal is a growing problem. The downside of consumption is a growing mountain

When we study the properties of a test procedure, two aspects are of prime importance. Firstly, we wish to know if the actual size of the test (i.e., the probability of rejecting the null when true) is close to the nominal size (used for calculating the critical values). Given that the actual size is a reasonable approximation to the nominal size, we then wish to investigate the actual power of th
