We have made five different hypotheses based on three prominent articles within the M&A research area that deal with the subject o
The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,
Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en

Effekten av temperatur på kaseinmicellstruktur i kaseinmicellkoncentrat. Anders Lindqvist: 2015 Med mål om att optimera produktionen av koncentrerade mjölkproteinlösningar och att få bättre kunskap om mjölkproteinet, kasein, och hur det påverkas av temperaturförändringar studerades förändringarna av koncentrerad mjölkproteinlösning efter att ha blivit utsatt för olika temperaturer. De förändrinThe viscosity of concentrated casein solutions play a vital part in the product quality of medical nutrition as well as for the energy consumption in spray drying. Previous work has shown that a lower viscosity can be achieved through processing (Hemar et al. 2011). This project focused on the effect on temperatures on micellar casein isolate (MCI). A temperature range of 5-90 °C has been studied

This essay estimates the trends in Income-Related Health Inequalities (IRHI) in 11 European countries between 2006 to 2013 and investigates the sensitivity of these trends with respect to different inequality measures. The motivation for this study is both empirically and theoretically driven. Empirically, there have been many studies aiming to quantify and explain IRHI but relatively few have inv
Med direktiv 2008/52 EG avser kommissionen främja uppgörelser om tvister i godo, särskilt genom medling. Direktivet kräver att medlemsstaterna ger domstolarna befogenhet att föreslå parterna i målet att denna metod används, dock utan att tvinga dem att använda den. I Sverige har detta direktiv implementerats genom Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttsliga tvister. Uppsatsen ger en förklaThrough Directive 2008/52/EC the European Union intends to encourage amicable dispute resolution, particularly through the use of mediation The Directive requires the Member States to authorise the courts to suggest the use of this method to the litigants, without, however, compelling them to use it. In Sweden, this directive was implemented through Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttslig
Research on financial crises is important and especially relevant nowadays when the economy is slowing down globally. The crisis 2007-8 and the Great Depression of the 20th century are the longest and most severe financial calamities ever experienced and they share some eerie similarities with the Panic of 1857 – they all originate in the US but have international implications because they take pl
Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface
Hydrauliska parametrar är viktiga att kunna mäta i samband med stadsplanering, prospektering och för att få fram information om hur en möjlig föroreningstransport genom jordlager och berggrund skulle kunna ske. Slugtest är ett enkelt akvifertest som tar fram värden på formationens genomsläpplighet och har flera fördelar jämfört med andra akvifertester. I denna studie berörs grundvattenrör med liteHydraulic analysis plays a crucial role in urban planning, prospecting and environmetal assess-ments. Slug test is an aquifer test often used by hydrogeologist and engineers to determine the hydraulic conduct-ivity. In this bachelor thesis I discuss aquifers with small diameter piezometers where some of the them are screened across the water table. The essay is conducted in cooperation with the su
After the breakup of the Soviet Union Estonian economy found itself cut off from its main markets and production links. One major barrier in the economic transformation and diversification process that followed was the lack of necessary tacit productive knowledge in the country. Furthermore, local firms had no or only weak links to the global production and knowledge networks that function as impo
The objective of this study is to analyse the possible relationship between competition and innovation using Statitics Sweden Community Innovation Survey 2012. The dependent variable innovation is measured in terms of expenditure on R&D and obtained numbers of patents. The independent variable competition is measured in terms of a Herfindahl-Hirschman index and two Lerner-index, one at industr
År 2005 började europeisk industri- och energiproduktion handla med utsläppsrätter i handelssystemet EU ETS. Tanken är att marknaden kommer minska koldioxidutsläppen där priset för utsläppsminskningar är lägst, och den Europeiska kommissionen beskriver EU ETS som ett nyskapande och kostnadseffektivt styrmedel. Men flera företag i mineralbranschen upplever utsläppshandeln som krångligt och orättvisThe European Union Emissions Trade System (EU ETS) is the central climate political tool for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions within the union, and is still the largest emissions trading system in the world ten years after the launch in 2005.
