  2. 1. The Constitution of Consumption : Food Labeling and the Politics of Consumerism

    Author : Carl Yngfalk; Torkild Thanem; Jacob Östberg; Avi Shankar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; power; Foucault; consumerism; consumption; consumer culture; institutions; markets; dialectical; food labeling; best before; företagsekonomi; Business Administration;

    Abstract : The power dynamics of consumerism is an important aspect of contemporary consumer culture. Within the field of marketing and consumption, consumer culture theory (CCT) tends to understand power in terms of agency, the ability of consumers to emancipate from a market infused by the culture of consumerism.

  4. 2. Some Fluid Dynamic Characteristics in the Scale-up of Rushton Turbine-Agitated Tanks

    Author : Eva Ståhl Wernersson; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical technology and engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; Rushton turbine; turbulent kinetic energy; geometry; local energy dissipation rate; power input; scale-up; anemometry measurements; agitated tanks; turbulence; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

    Abstract : Turbine-agitated tanks are used in chemical and biochemical applications to increase mixing which, in turn, affects the yield, productivity and product quality. The purpose of this work was to study the hydrodynamic influence on the scale-up of turbine-agitated tanks, commonly used in fermentation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Behind the scenes of land grabbing : conflict, competition, and the gendered implications for local food production and rural livelihoods in Cameroon

    Author : Frankline Ndi; Simon Batterbury; Australia Victoria University of Melbourne; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Land grabbing; conflict; competition; access to land; gender; food production; rural livelihoods; political ecology; Cameroon;

    Abstract : Large-scale land acquisitions or land grabbing are widespread – cutting across almost all parts of the developing world – Asia, Latin America and Africa. In recent years, this phenomenon has grown at unprecedented rates with Africa being the most targeted continent. READ MORE

  6. 4. Flow and turbulence in the discharge stream of different agitators for stirred tanks

    Author : Tamás Kovács; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluiddynamik; Gaser; plasmas; fluid dynamics; Gases; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; Scaba; 6SRGT; pseudo turbulence; Rushton; stirred tank; plasma; Mechanical engineering; hydraulics; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the fluid dynamic properties of the conventional Rushton turbine and another impeller type, the Scaba Radial flow Gas dispersing Turbine (with six concave blades) are compared. For comparison, point-wise velocity measurements were made in the discharge of the two turbine types using Hot-Wire Anemometry in constant temperature mode (CTA) with a split film probe. READ MORE

  7. 5. Lake Hydrodynamics and Pollution Transport under Climate Change : The Case of Lake Victoria

    Author : Seema Paul; Henrik Ernstson; Zahra Kalantari; Abhijit Mukherjee; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bathymetry mapping; model verification; water balance; correlation; tracer transport; wind hydrodynamics; pollution and nutrient transport; climate effect; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : A very small part of the total earth’s water is freshwater (only 2.5 %). Unfortunately, due to climate change and pervasive manmade activities, surface freshwater quality in many places of the world has become degraded. READ MORE
