Anthocyanin, a subgroup of flavonoids, is one of the most extensively distributed plant-based components (Pedreschi R,2007). What impedes a broader industrial adoption of anthocyanins is its poor stability. Micro-encapsulation is one of the most popular techniques to protect the anthocyanins from oxidation. Micro-encapsules consist of a selected encapsulating material surrounding the anthocyanins.

Cities are expected to increase in extent and land-use intensity in the future. Thus, it is important to understand how overall species diversity responds to increasing urbanization to develop urban biodiversity conservation strategies. In this study, I used birds a biodiversity indicator. Using general linear mixed models, I analyzed how urbanization impacts alpha and beta diversity of birds. In

Abstract Digital marketing has been widely explored within B2C while the development within B2B is slower. B2B companies still face difficulties to meet changed customer preferences for marketing and communication. Customers expect personalized marketing in real time, the information flow is changing and it is challenging, both for customers and companies, to handle all available data. This

Background: For most companies that handle large material flows there are buffers between different stages in the supply chain, often referred to as inventory. The main reasons for having these inventories are to achieve economies of scale when handling material flows and to buffer against uncertainties when matching demand and supply. Hence, the main objective in inventory control is to decide

Background Today’s healthcare faces a transformation, driven by an ageing population and an over encumbered care and welfare sector. Self-care solutions based on emerging information and communication technologies make it possible for patients to monitor their medical conditions from home, without the direct assistance of healthcare professionals. Thereby time and resources within the healthc

Background/Problem Description: The purpose of project management is to keep track, organize and assure that the specific goal of a project will be accomplished before the project ends. Without a project management model, it is hard for an organization to monitor and fulfill the purpose of project management. Therefore, ESSIQ AB believes it would be beneficial to have a project management mode

A number of global megatrends, such as self-driving technology, elec- trification of vehicles, ICT, CSR and a lot of other social and political trends are currently impacting the Swedish truck freight system. Identi- fications of these trends and preparedness for the potential impact they will have on the future truck freight system will be paramount for both incumbents and new actors in this system

While industrial robots have traditionally been designed for tasks such as pick-and-place that require a high repeatability, an increasing demand for off-line control and high-precision applications have in recent decades put higher demands on the accuracy of robots. One application in that vain is the detection of X-rays that have been scattered from a sample during X-ray diffraction, which produ

Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is

The goal of this thesis is to gain knowledge on the psychological reality of some known rules, conditions, and categorizations that have been observed in the phenomenon of Japanese “rendaku” (also known as sequential voicing). The results presented in this thesis are based on a quantitative study that was aimed at native speakers of Japanese. The conducted experiment for this study was designed as

This thesis will examine the topic of gendered language in Japanese and the elements that contribute to making “feminine” and “masculine” speech what they are. This thesis will further try to distinguish the differences that can be found in women’s and men’s speech. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what perceptions exist of men and women who choose to either break or follow what are consi

Child undernutrition is a worldwide problem with dire consequences that compromises the quality of life and economic growth on different scales (individual, household and community). It affects mainly highly vulnerable populations. Maternal characteristics have proven to be key determinants for child nutritional status. Recently, Brazil has been considered to be a role model in how to fight undern

This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st

This thesis concerns the evaluation of cost functionals on H2 when designing optimal controllers using finite Youla parameterizations and convex optimization. We propose to compute inner products of stable, strictly proper systems via solving Sylvester equations. The properties of different state space realizations of Laguerre filters, when performing Ritz expansions of the optimal controller are

Förtätning är en stark stadsbyggnadstrend idag. Med förtätning av tätorter kommer behovet av att göra kompromisser, alla stadsbyggnadskvaliteter kan inte rimligen få plats inom samma yta. De allra flesta kommuner har stora visioner och målsättningar om att fler ska gå, cykla eller åka kollektivt inom och ifrån kommunens tätorter, att bostadsbyggandet ska öka enligt särskilda nivåer, att handeln iIn Sweden, if you want to receive a building permit, you need to be able to solve the parking need from the use of the development, within, or close to your property. This is regulated in the “Planning and Building Act (PBA) (2010:900), Plan- och bygglagen”. The law regulations leave room for interpretation as of what the parking need is and how it should be handled more specifically. For this r

Co-dependency is a controversial concept today and a major social problem at both national and international level that affects a large group of individuals. There is a debate about whether or not co-dependence should become a separate diagnosis or not. There are also shared opinions about what a co-dependency really means. This study is about studying people who identify themselves as co-dependen

This study is about how preschool teachers interpret the Swedish legislative rule concerning mandatory reporting and how organizational culture affects the teacher to make a report. Our main questions are: How is the obligation to report in SoL 14:1 interpreted by preschool teachers and how is the obligation to notify practiced based on their interpretation? Are there and how do preschool teachers

Tidigare forskning kring klimat och identitet har framför allt fokuserat på hur vi kan förstå varför vissa människor konsumerar miljömedvetet, eller hur konsumtionen och identiteten hör ihop. Få studier har kopplat ihop just en miljömedveten identitet och den klimatsmarta konsumtionen, inte minst utifrån tanken om att vi lever i ett konsumtionssamhälle. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de
