Considering the increasing pressure on suppliers to use B2B e-business, this thesis turns its attention to the supplier situation by taking a closer look at how collaborative uses of B2B e-business are of value to suppliers. This book differs from much of the

Theoretical Reflections of Solvation in Polar Media

Using experiments it is rather easy to measure things on the macroscopic length scale, while it is much harder to measure something in the microscopic world like molecular structure. The opposite is true in theoretical chemistry. It is today rather easy to calculate a bond distance or a coordination number, but it is not possible to perform a calculation aiming at the description of macroscopic ph

Anthropogenic Open Land in Boreal Landscapes : Investigations into the Creation and Maintenance of Arable Fields on Swedish Farms

Popular AbstractJordbruksmarken representerar i det beskogade boreala landskapet en aktiv åtgärd som håller skogstillväxten borta. I avhandlingen undersöks lantbrukares praktiska beslutsfattande i samband med den öppna marken på gårdar som i Sverige ofta består av både jordbruks- och skogsmark. Som teoretiska ramverk används begreppen tidrum, landskap, orientering och åtagande för att förstå lantb

Gendered Attitudes Towards Physical Tending Amongst the Piously Religious of Late Medieval Sweden

Gendered differences concerning intellectual and physical religious expressions in medieval Europe have previously been discussed by several medievalists. It has been suggested that medieval male piety was expressed primarily in practical and intellectual terms within canonical rituals and in verbalized form in prayers and mass. Female piety, on the other hand, is thought to have been expressed in

Policy capacities for new regional industrial path development – The case of new media and biogas in southern Sweden

Over the past few years, a growing body of work in economic geography and innovation studies has enhanced our understanding of forms and determinants of regional industrial path development. The importance of policy, however, has received limited attention and accordingly, the role of policy for the emergence and development of new regional industrial growth paths remains largely unexplored. This

Patient preferences and willingness-to-pay for ADHD treatment with stimulants using discrete choice experiment (DCE) in Sweden, Denmark and Norway

Background: The choice between different attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications depends on different drug attributes. Economic evaluations of drugs often disregard the utility of other attributes compare with the drugs' efficacy. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess patient's preferences and elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP) for different drug attributes in the treatment of

Unequal lands: Soil type, nutrition and child mortality in southern Sweden, 1850-1914

BackgroundChild mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality decline. Not much is known about the role of nutrition in such geographic differences, and about the factors affecting the nutritional level and hence the resistance to diseases.ObjectiveFocusing on nutrition, we analyse the effects of soil type, used as an indicator of the farm-level agricult

Community-based tourism in practice : Evidence from three coastal communities in Bohuslan, Sweden

Local involvement in tourism development is defined as a key issue for sustainable tourism, however it is often questioned and less seldom implemented in reality. Reasons behind this condition are lack of knowledge and practical experience on community-based tourism as a bottom-up approach. In this paper it is argued that local involvement in tourism development is both a democratic right and a st

Wenlock bentonites in Lithuania and correlation with bentonites from sections in Estonia, Sweden and Norway

Seven Wenlock bentonite beds from four drill cores in Lithuania with sufficient thickness for sampling were analysed by XRD and XRF. The sanidine composition of bentonites combined with graptolite biozonation of the host rock were used for correlations. Two of the studied bentonite samples at the antennularius/flexilis biozone boundary can be confidently correlated between two Lithuanian sections.

Association of knee pain and different definitions of knee osteoarthritis with health-related quality of life : A population-based cohort study in southern Sweden

Background: While the impact of knee pain and knee osteoarthritis (OA) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been investigated in the literature, there is a lack of knowledge on the impact of different definitions of OA on HRQoL. The main aim of this study was to measure and compare the impact of knee OA and its different definitions on HRQoL in the general population. Methods: A random sa

Precarious employment is a risk factor for poor mental health in young individuals in Sweden : A cohort study with multiple follow-ups

Background: The globalisation of the economy and the labour markets has resulted in a growing proportion of individuals who find themselves in a precarious labour market situation, especially among the young. This pertains also to the Nordic countries, despite their characterisation as well developed welfare states with active labour market policies. This should be viewed against the background of
