Vi löper ofta risker som vi inte tar. Och vi vet ofta litet om de situationer där vi tar risker. Dessa två iakttagelser utgör den här bokens utgångspunkter. Det är utgångspunkter som inte passar så väl ihop med mycket annat som vi brukar ta för givet i risksammanhang. Läsaren får därför många tillfällen att ompröva sin syn på saker som skillnaden mellan fara och risk, vad ett riskobjekt är och vad

In trying to get products out to market, manufacturers of FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) differentiate themselves through e.g. promotional efforts and display packaging (Point-of-Purchase packaging). For the display packaging, companies turn to contract packagers who are able to supply this service, providing the design, manufacturing and assembly and packing of the display packaging. This pape

This book examines some of the economic, political and social issues facing the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. Topics discussed in this compilation include Denmark's energy sector transition toward agro-biomass; Sweden's exchange-rate volatility trade with Germany; Norwegian quota reform in gender corporate representation; legislation, culture and development of qua

Purpose: Supply chain efficiency (economic and ecological) is affected by packaging design. The purpose of this research is to investigate how integrated approaches aiming for ecoefficient supply chains are used in packaging development processes and how a set of preselected factors influences the adaption of more or less integrated approaches at companies. Design/methodology/approach: The researc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Richard Hughes (1900-1976) blev mycket känd genom sin debutroman A High Wind in Jamaica, 1929. Han förhastade sig inte med nästa roman, In Hazard; den kom först 1938. Intervallerna blev allt längre. The Fox in the Attic från 1961 inledde hans romancykel The Human Predicament, och fortsättningen kom med The Wooden Shepherdess 1973. Av en planerad tredje del publicerades The two last novels by Richard Hughes (1900-1976), the first in his planned The Human Predicament series, are partly set in Germany in the years between the First and the Second World War. Much of the action in The Fox in the Attic (1961) takes part in and around Munich, culminating in a fictional reconstruction of the so-called Hitler Putsch on November 8-9, 1923, the future dictator's aborted ea

Thin films of crystalline mesoporous cerium dioxide were prepared by using a template of a copolymer surfactant (Pluronics 123) at ambient conditions in ethanol. The synthesised ceria was produced via a direct calcination step, without using a gelling stage. The precipitated CeO2 matrix was crystalline with a high surface area. The solution height over the synthesis vessel before the calcination s

This dissertation has three cornerstones: * Haptics * Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) * Blind Users Haptics deals with controlling human movements and getting feedback through the sense of touch. A haptic interface transmits forces to a person’s hand or fingers in a way that mimics the sensation of touching real objects. Virtual haptic touch can be particularly useful for people with visual i

Mobility Management (MM) syftar till att främja hållbara transporter och minska resandet med bil genom att förändra resenärers attityder och beteenden. Denna rapport är framförallt ett underlag inför framtida satsningar på MM-åtgärder i Lund och Helsingborg. Detta är ingen före-efter analys då det i nuläget inte finns material för att göra en sådan studie. Istället kan rapporten användas för en fr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den enorma variationen av beteenden och utseenden som återfinns i djurriket har i alla år fascinerat och länge förbryllat biologer. Rovdjurens skoningslösa utgallring är en av de stora drivkrafterna bakom evolutionen av alla dessa karaktärsdrag. Rovdjuren är såklart även en viktig strukturerande kraft i sötvattensmiljöer och har där lett till utvecklingen av mängder av The varieties of prey phenotypes that have been revealed in nature are vast and many of these phenotypes are the result of the selective force that predators have had on prey traits in the past. Even within species and populations we see variations due to both differences in the selection forces they live under but also due to individual trait variation. In this thesis I investigate both the direc

In Rabinowicz & Rønnow-Rasmussen (1999), we defended the following claims: (i) Not only states of affairs, or facts, but also concrete objects, such as things or persons, may have final value (value for their own sake); (ii) The final value of a concrete object need not be intrinsic, i.e., it need not be exclusively based on the internal (non-relational) properties of its bearer; (iii) The fi
