Packaging design in organic food supply chains – a case study in Sweden

Packaging design is vital in the consumer product industry. This is why the recent consumer preferences for locally produced and organic food need to be met by product and package producers in the packaging design process. The purpose of this study is to understand how packaging design is managed in food supply chains with a special focus on organic and locally produced food in Sweden. It also ide

Eco-marketing & Eco-management. Exploring the eco-orientation - performance link in food retailing.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Miljömarknadsföring och miljömanagement. En undersökning av sambandet mellan miljöorientering och försäljning av ekologiska produkter samt försäljning generellt inom svensk dagligvaruhandel.The purpose of this thesis was to develop a conceptual framework of food retailers’ ecological orientation that considers the interaction between ecological marketing and ecological management. In this context, the relationship was examined between ecological orientation and sales of ecological food products and the overall store performance of Swedish food retailers. To fulfil this purpose eco-or

An elliptical analytic link loss model for wireless propagation around the human torso

A simple analytical model for the link loss between two very low profile wireless body area network transceivers located at the same level on the human torso is presented. The model is based on the attenuation of the creeping waves on an elliptical approximation of the human torso. A good agreement between the model and the FDTD simulations on realistic heterogeneous phantoms of different age and

Current Debates on Citizenship and Belonging: Multiculturalism, Gender and Sexuality

Debates around gender and sexuality currently inform important negotiations of citizenship and belonging in Canada. In this chapter, we broadly outline main areas of research in the social sciences for Canadianists from German-speaking countries. We focus on two separate but interrelated themes that have recently gained a particular salience in Canadian society and politics: 1) Gender and the oste

RNA in model lipid membranes - interactions in bulk and at surfaces

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande celler omges av membran, som reglerar dess kontakt med omgivningen. Cellmembran består av flera sorters lipider men även av kolhydrater och ett stort antal proteiner med olika funktion. Lipider är en grupp av molekyler som har ett hydrofilt (vattenälskande) huvud och en hydrofob (vattenavstötande) svans. I en omgivning lik den i kroppens celler d.v.s. beståThe work presented in the thesis “RNA in model lipid membranes- interactions in bulk and at surfaces” aims to characterize the interaction between RNA and model membranes with different properties as well as to determine if ssRNA associate with model membranes in different ways. Several techniques have been used to characterize these systems, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation

Statistical and Functional Analysis of Genomic and Proteomic Data

High-throughput technologies have led to an explosion in the availability of data at the genome scale. Such data provide important information about cellular processes and causes of human diseases, as well as for drug discovery. Deciphering the biologically relevant results from these data requires comprehensive analytical methods. In this dissertation, we present methods for gene and protein expr
