Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar Guatemalas råvaruexport under perioden 1524-1945.In the integrated institutional-staples-‘vent for surplus’ approach, the opening of trade occurs because of initial demand. Once demand is determined, competitiveness is a function of transportation costs, entrepreneurship, capital, land and labour costs, as well as the role played by the State. When all these factors promote competitiveness within an institutional framework that decreased transac

Neoliberal and conservative actors, financed by the fossil fuel industry, have been identified as crucial parts of a climate change denialist counter movement since at least the 1980s. We claim that this intersection stems from more than just vested interest fuelling advocacy groups. By focusing on the intellectual developments and social networks of core actors in the environmental debate in Swed

There is an ongoing shift to mobility in business IT, as well as in the consumer space. Users do not demand mobile availability anymore, they simply expect the ability to access business IT with consumer devices. Stemming from this demand, mobile business intelligence (BI) has emerged as a response from the BI industry. Thus, mobile BI is an extension of traditional BI into mobile devices. In line

In spite of our current knowledge regarding the biology underlying cancer genesis, reliable methods for the discovery of cancer driver (CD) genes are still in great need. The rather recent incorporation of epigenetic markers to the cancer paradigm has nevertheless opened the door for the development of new computational approaches to the problem. This work is aimed to study the enrichment of cer

This thesis explores the employer branding strategies of four major student nations at Lund University through their Instagram content throughout the year 2023. The focus is on how these organizations leverage organizational culture and rhetorical strategies—ethos, pathos, and logos—to engage current and prospective members. Utilizing a qualitative content analysis, it is examined how each student

Att byggsektorn står inför ett rådande klimatnödläge är ett faktum. Idag investeras hundratals miljarder kronor för att i framtiden kunna producera fossilfritt stål; trots det läggs lite fokus på miljöoptimering av konstruktioner. Syftet med arbetet är att utvärdera hur parametrisk design kan användas som verktyg för att miljöoptimera stålstommar i industritrapptorn samt undersöka vilken profiltypThe fact that the construction sector faces a prevailing climate emergency is undeniable. Today, hundreds of billions of kronor are being invested to develop fossil-free steel; yet little focus is placed on environmental optimization of constructions. The purpose of this work is to evaluate how parametric design can be used as a tool for environmental optimization of steel staircase towers, as wel

Studien intresserar sig i huvudsak för makrillens roll i Gunnar D Hanssons diktsamling "Olunn". Titeln är ett av fiskens fornnordiska namn, och boken i sig är en sorts "lyrisk monografi" över makrillen. Specifikt används posthumanistiska teoriapparater, i huvudsak hämtade från Jacques Derrida och Timothy Morton, för att undersöka Hanssons explicita ambition att hitta ett nytt

Användningen av persondata har blivit ett allt vanligare fenomen och utnyttjandet av data spelar en mer central roll i ekonomin. Data är en värdefull resurs men det har blivit svårare för konsumenter att kontrollera hur data om dem samlas in och delas eller säljs vidare. Många aktörer är ofta involverade i datautvinningsprocessen utan att det framgår vilken roll de spelar och till vilket ändamål d

Under 2020 ökade aktiesparandet bland privatpersoner i Sverige. Investeringsbeslut grundar sig i den information som finns tillgänglig på marknaden. För att säkerställa att den information som förmedlas till marknaden är korrekt och inte vilseleder marknaden finns ett förbud mot marknadsmanipulation i marknadsmissbruksförordningen. Uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra rekvisiten för marknadsmanipulaIn 2020 the financial market saw an influx of investments from Swedish households. The decision to invest is based on the information available to the market. To ensure the investors are not deceived by false information, certain activities are prohibited under the market abuse regulations (MAR). The essay aims to clarify what market manipulation is and how infringements are imposed by the Swedish

Smittspridning i ventilerad inomhusmiljö har sedan Covid-19 pandemin startade blivit ett högaktuellt ämne. Smittan som uppstod i Kina spred sig snabbt över hela världen och gav upphov till omfattande restriktioner och förändringar i det vardagliga livet för miljarder människor. Till en början antogs Covid-19 endast spridas via dropp- och kontaktsmitta men forskning och kända utbrott visar att luftThe transmission of airborne aerosols in a ventilated indoor environment has become highly relevant since the Covid-19 outbreak. Initially, Covid-19 was only assumed to be spread via droplet and contact infection, but research and known outbreaks show that airborne transmission via aerosols occurs. Modern humans spend a large part of their life indoors. Understanding and calculating how virus-carr

In 2018 90 billion tonnes of raw material was extracted globally. It is estimated 20% of this went to waste and with the quickening pace of global metabolism this figure is predicted to have doubled by 2060. In the context of the Anthropocene we need to reduce this incessant cycle of mass extraction and production of waste, change the production systems from linear to cyclic and prove for industri

Many children with adverse reactions to beta-lactams are labelled as allergic without performing an allergy study to confirm it. In this retrospective study of 10 years, we have detected only 3.3% positive cases. Although International Guidelines recommend a second allergy work-up in patients with a negative study, we found from our results a low profitability of retesting.

Political exit from governments is an unusual phenomenon within Swedish politics. The purpose of this essay is, from an ethical perspective, to particularize, understand and analyze the actions of the Swedish minister of defence, Mikael Odenberg, in his decision to exit the government in September 2007. We will put light on the ethical conflict Odenberg apprehended, the courses of actions and fina

Uppmärksammandet av att organisationer har ett arbetsgivarvarumärke, i kombination med en ökad efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft, har lett till uppkomsten av ett flertal best practice-modeller och konsultbyråer som specialiserat sig på att förvalta organisationers rykten som arbetsgivare. Tidiga definitioner av det som kommit att kallas för employer branding beskriver målet med detta att The acknowledgement that organizations have an employer brand, combined with the rising demand of highly qualified workers, has led to countless best practice models and employer brand consulting agencies specializing in managing organizations’ reputation as employers. Early definitions describe employer branding as aimed at both potential and existing employees in order to attract, but also retai

Certifieringar påverkar aktörerna inom livsmedelsbranschen. Vi menar, efter vår studie av producenter i Svenska frukt och gröntbranschen, att certifieringar har både explicita och implicita effekter för att säkra livsmedel. Dels bidrar de till att förebygga osäkra livsmedel genom att kvalitetssäkra processer genom hela värdekedjan. Att de flesta aktörerna inom branschen har som krav att bara arbet

Risk and return go hand in hand, and one way for a firm to mitigate existing and potential investors' risk in a stock is to employ a financial service; liquidity providing. The value of liquidity provision has become relevant as market uncertainties and shocks in the market create disturbances. In addition, the market environment has changed with regulation and the increase of high-frequency t

The oil and gas industry is an activity that simultaneously resembles formula one and space missions. By the formula one´s side, it operates close to technological limits. And by the space missions’ side, several experimental or semi-experimental technologies are broadly used. O&G industry is indeed a high-risk socio-technical system.” (Eder Henriqson, personal communication) Such a statement

A resultant-type identity for univariate polynomials is proved and used to characterise SAGBI bases of subalgebras generated by two polynomials. A new equivalent condition, expressed in terms of the degree of a field extension, for a pair of univariate polynomials to form a SAGBI basis is derived.

Atomic (1 Å) resolution x-ray structures of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in complex with NADH revealed the formation of an adduct in the active site between a metal-bound water and NADH. Furthermore, a pronounced distortion of the pyridine ring of NADH was observed. A series of quantum chemical calculations on the water-nicotinamide adduct showed that the puckering of the pyridine ring in the
