Abstract Background Swedish foods have difficulty competing against imported food that has different cost scenarios. Food price inflation has today led to a major focus on low cost for consumers. This focus has created a risk of lower food quality for consumers and lower profitability for the food industry. Target To develop a principled business model with a focus on identifying realizable value

Abstract The self-driving car (SDC) is about to exit fantasy and enter reality. SDCs are expected to be available for purchase in just a few years, and the new technologies that enable autonomous driving hold much promise, regarding safety, environmental impact, increased mobility and higher comfortability. However, there are worrying prospects, too. Some experts worry that the autonomous car

Idag har företagens varumärken gått från enbart det traditionella i form av en figur eller ett ord, antingen separat eller i kombination, till varumärkesportföljer som även inkluderar icke-visuella varumärken, vilka benämns inom varumärkesrätten som okonventionella varumärken. Till okonventionella varumärken hör bland annat ljudmärken, doftmärken, färgmärken, formmärken och även hologram. Hur denCorporate trademarks today have developed from solely a traditional form, meaning shape or word, together or in combination, to complete trademark portfolios that even include non-visual trademarks, referenced in trademark law as unconventional trademarks. Trademarks within audio, scent, color, form and even holograms are incorporated under unconventional trademarks. How this development has progr

Sammanfattning: EU-, Konkurrensrätten och Svensk Idrottsrörelse Idrottens och särskilt fotbollens popularitet och idrottsrörelsens ideella / icke-vinstdrivande förhållanden, idrottens särart, genererade stora samhällsvärden under 1900-talet och lämnades med marginell svensk rättsinblandning. Istället kom fotbollsföreningar och utövare att underordnas förbundsmonopol från 1904 med strikt [regel]hieAbstract: EU-law, the rules on Competition and movement of Sport The popularity of athletics and particular football and the non-profit circumstances of movement of sport, generated great additional value to society and was therefore almost left without intervention from Swedish public law-system during the 20th century. Instead, since 1904, all Swedish football clubs and players are forced to fol

Fibrillar macromolecules are long, linear structures that have helical symmetry. A technique called X-ray fiber diffraction (XRFD) is often used to help solve the three-dimensional structure of fibrillar macromolecules. Models of fibrillar structure, built de novo, using homologs or using experimental data derived from other methods should be compared to this experimental XRFD data to test and ref

Medicinal plants have been used for treatment of various human diseases for a long time in history. The Ambrosia arborescens Mill. plant grows in some of the developing Latin American countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. Ambrosia arborescens Mill, has a ubiquitous amount of sesquiterpene lactone (SL) compounds that can be extracted exclusively from the aromatic leaves of this plant. It has

Det pågår ständigt en utveckling för att minska både risker för miljö och hälsa inom den kemiska industrin. Oftast handlar det om att förbättra existerande processer eller att helt enkelt hitta nya vägar till samma produkt och i grunden ligger forskning bakom framgångarna.Polyurethane is a widely used polymer with a lot of different applications due to its versatility and often resilient properties. The polymeris often prepared as a two component system consisting of polyols and isocyanates and can be cured at relatively low temperatures. Even though the formed polymer is hazardless the isocyanate used in the manufacture is dangerous in itself, but even more so is

This thesis focuses on the wind power production and it is a part of the Smart Grid Gotland (SGG) project. One of the goals stated by the SGG project is to have an optimal

Betydelsen av en bra stallmiljö för en välmående häst och länsstyrelsens godkännande av stallar för en frisk häst En välmående häst är glad, nyfiken och positiv till arbete. För att hästar ska må bra i stallet är det viktigt att stallmiljön är anpassad efter dem. För att kunna se till att stallet är utformat på ett bra sätt är det nödvändigt att känna till de viktigaste faktorerna i stallmiljön sThis study shows that to establish good horse welfare in the stable the housing conditions need to be carefully considered. Swedish animal welfare legislation imposes requirements of stable and horse owners to act in a certain way to prevent animal suffering. But many owners lack knowledge about why horses have specific requirements of its housing environment and that is why this study is importan

Novel therapeutic strategy for acute myeloid leukemia Acute myeloid leukemia, AML, is a type of blood cancer that is generally common among elder ages with median age of 65 years old.
