In this article, the concept of distribution channel re-engineering stands for a restructuring of distribution activities where the physical distribution and sales functions are organizationally separated from each other. The objective of the re-engineering process is primarily to reach dramatic improvements in operational efficiency. Our study indicates improvements in the distribution process in

The essay discusses different aspects of the market for fish from the Baltic sea. The first chapter introduces the subject and discusses how the essay relates to fishery economics and gives a background of the development of the fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Prices of different attributes of Baltic cod is the topic of the second chapter. The results show that larger sized and better quality cod h

Focusing on the case of Tanzania, this study highlights the role of religious institutions in building national unity and consolidating democracy in the multi-religious contexts of Sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years cooperation along inter- and intra-religious lines has been strongly encouraged as a way of coping with tensions evident in the society. The case of the Inter-Religious Council for Pe

In this article, I argue that Finnish passive participle (e.g. avattu 'opened' and suljettu 'closed') can be multiply ambiguous: the "same" morphophonological forms exhibit different patterns of eventivity and agentivity, and are used to form "traditional" non-agreeing passives, agreeing resultative passives and agreeing sentences that describe "pure" states and behave in most contexts like "tradi

Krönika om 2007 års filmer med fokus på Sandrews beslut att sluta med filmproduktion efter sjuttio års verksamhet, konkursen för Astoria Cinemas, den svenska filmbranschens monopolisering, Ingmar Bergman och Michelangelo Antonionis död samt Arn-filmserien.

Abstract in Undetermined Study of Swedish actress Kristina Söderbaum and her reception in modern scholarship on Nazi cinema.

This paper studies the discourse deployed in Hofstede´s Culture's Consequences (1980, 2001), the international best-seller that introduces a model classifying national cultures according to four (later five) supposedly universal dimensions. Noting that this management-oriented scholarly discourse has had a huge impact in both the business world and academia, we take a critical stance towards the W

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att kunna mäta ett ämnes halt i ett prov behövs en analysmetod. Det första steget i en analysmetod innefattar provupparbetning. Med det menas att ämnet man vill mäta halten av avskiljs (extraheras) från provet med någon sorts extraktionsteknik. I laboratorier världen över görs dagligen många analytiska extraktioner. Det kan handla om t.ex. livsmedelsanalyser, miljöaToday’s requirements of fast, reliable and selective analytical methods with minimal usage of organic solvents have accelerated the development of new, automated extraction techniques. In this thesis recent extraction techniques with emphasis on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were investigated. Different environmental and industrial applications such a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt eftersom fler och fler organismers totala uppsättning gener, genomet, sekvenseras ökar fokus på att kartlägga de genprodukter, proteiner, som uttrycks. Att kunna studera de proteiner som uttrycks mer eller mindre vid olika tidpunkter eller cellulära tillstånd utgör en viktig del i sökandet efter kunskap om biologiska och medicinska processer. Studier av den totala The study of the protein complement of a genome is called proteomics. Proteomics can be defined as identification, quantification and characterization of a total set of proteins expressed at different time-points or under different cellular states to provide global information about biological processes. The study of membrane proteins is a challenging area in the development of proteomic research.

In the development and evaluation of alternative ionomers, the membrane development and ex situ characterization have been the focus of interest. The properties of a MEA are dependent on the composition of materials in the components, i.e. membrane, electrodes and gas diffusion layers, and the interaction between these parts. The complexity of water transport in different components is one example
