Riskhantering inom försörjningskedjor har påvisats vara relevant på grund av dess sårbarhet för risker från flera håll. De senaste åren har världens försörjningskedjor utsatts för mer omfattande risker och kriser än vad som kunnat föreställas, såsom Covid-19 och anfallskrig mellan Ryssland och Ukraina. Därmed identifierades ett kunskapsgap i tidigare forskning kring dess användbarhet vid omfattand

Med målet att utvärdera en mindre restriktiv teknik för genmodifiering i sötpotatis (Ipomoea batatas), både gällande ekonomiska begränsningar såväl som det tid och energi bemödande som ett sådant projekt oundvikligen påbrår, har vi arbetat flitigt med att etablera optimerade parameters för protoplast isolation och fortsättningsvis också utforskat lovande protokoll för transformation och regeneratiIn the pursuit of a less restrictive technique to be used for the purpose of gene editing in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas), both in terms of economic limitations as well as the enormous time and energy inevitably sunk into such a project, we have worked hard to establish optimized parameters for protoplast isolation, and furthermore investigated promising protocols for transformation and regenerat

Neighborhood attachment is an important and influential concept in environmental psychology. Yet, there is a lack of quantitative research that allows predictions to be made. Additionally, whereas neighborhood attachment is influenced by various variables, most studies only have assessed a few predictors. A quantitative study with cross-sectional design was conducted in order to create a comprehen

I Sverige har forskningen om svartas upplevelser i akademin varit begränsade, på grund av en självbild som är färgblind och som förhindrar erkännandet av svartas existens (praktik, tanke, kroppar). Denna studie är ett kulturanalytiskt försök att kunna bidra och bredda forskningsfältet för kritiska studier i den svenska akademin, genom att utforska svarta kvinnors känslomässiga och kroppsliga uppleIn Sweden the research about Black people’s experiences in academia is quite limited, because of a self-image that is colourblind which prevents the acknowledgement of Black existence (practice, thought, bodies).

Det sker en omställning i samhället där frågor om klimat och miljö får allt mer uppmärksamhet. Denna omställning sker även i byggbranschen som i nuläget står för stora delar av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp, men redan år 2045 ska landet inte ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att nå målet kommer det att krävas kreativa innovationer inom flera områden. En del av lösningen är att ta
