This paper discusses urban sustainable development by comparing two approaches: a place-based sustainability approach which focuses the direct and often production based impacts on a region, and a system-based approach which reveals the indirect and consumption based effects of globalised patterns of production, consumption and trade. Malmö, a small/middle-sized city in Sweden, is used as a case s

Previous studies on pessimism and optimism in organizations have mainly focused on productivity and performance. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of optimism in the relationship between stress at work and health. An Internet-based questionnaire was sent to 1345 female and male employees at both managerial and non-managerial level working in a Swedish telecom company. Altoge

The goal of the thesis is to present the thorough documentation and analysis of a private dwelling in Pompeii, the Casa del Torello di Bronzo (V 1,7), the largest and most dominating dwelling in insula V, and in particular its complex system of water use and distribution. The work is embedded in the on-going study of the entire insula, carried out by the Swedish Pompeii Project, so that it will ul

Members of the REST gene family characteristically have a transcription unit consisting of three exons. The first and the last exon are conserved among members, while the second exon--encoding almost all of the mature protein--differs considerably. The so far known REST genes are highly, and almost exclusively, expressed in the seminal vesicles. By sequence analysis we have now identified the gene

Construction companies apply different logics to create value. Some companies are organized according to one primary logic, while others are based on multiple logics. Different value creating logics have different cost and value drivers according to the type of activities involved and the interdependencies between them. Where multiple logics coexist, the different cost and value drivers may genera

Abstract in UndeterminedPackaging as a component in the supply chain impacts efficiency and effectiveness. In the interaction between packaging systems and the supply chain, actors place various needs on packaging. These can be related to infrastructure or product characteristics, business settings or operations. They also depend on the supply chain context, the distribution conditions, the produc

We present a method for producing FrameNet-annotated text for non-English text. The method uses sentence-aligned corpora and transfers target words and frame elements using a word aligner. The system was tested on an English-Spanish parallel corpus. On the task of target word projection, the system had a precision of 69% and a recall of 59%. For sentences with non-empty targets, it had a precision

Successful expert systems have usually been built on fairly well established technological or medical knowledge [1],[2]. In the present article we report results from a project where interest instead is directed at knowledge connected with human behaviour
