Idag finns konsumtionsbeteenden och normer som uppmuntrar oss att köpa och returnera så mycket kläder vi vill. Både produktion- och konsumtion influeras av den så kallade fastfashion-modellen som leder till massproduktion och överkonsumtion av kläder. Idag har modebranschen den snabbast växande e-handelssektorn i världen. Baksidan av e-handelns framväxt är att returer av kläder har blivit alltmer Due to the growing e-commerce volumes, product returns have become an increasingly important issue within the fashion industry. About 70 % of all returns are caused by poor fit or size. Therefore, there is a need to improve fit and size information online to decrease the rate of returns. In recent years, there has been an increased interest for implementing AI solutions to improve consumer informa

The Swedish social-democratic state has long been synonymous with a strong welfare system accompanied by high levels of trust. Lately, the Swedish population have demonstrated unease and dissatisfaction towards the Swedish state, and this trend seems to be more apparent amongst some specific socioeconomic and demographic groups. Previous research and theories have used trust as a measurement of th

This study aims to understand how individuals perceive and respond to a reform, focusing on the dichotomy between the "surface"—the presentation of the reform—and the "substance"—the internal reality experienced by employees. Specifically, it examines the implementation of an Activity-Based Workplace (ABW) at Havsby. Utilizing a qualitative methodology within the interpretivist

Polycrystals, crystals consisting of multiple grains with different crystallographic orientations, gained interest in recent years as they mimic industrial catalysts. They have been studied thoroughly utilizing imaging techniques to investigate the various surface structures of the grains; however, measurements under ambient pressure conditions are necessary for closing the pressure gap. In this t

Despite the widespread adoption and advanced capabilities of existing learning management systems (LMS), critical usability and functionality issues persist, hindering user experience and educational outcomes. Our research addresses these challenges by developing a comprehensive set of design principles designed to enhance LMS by following the design science research methodology. Through extensive

This thesis explores the contemporary cultural and political influences that both compete for and contribute to the shaping of England’s national identity. Amidst recent politicisation of nationhood and belonging, counter-narratives to prevailing regressive discourses have emerged and this thesis aims to elevate the progressive discourses that better represent modern-day, multicultural England. Th

Sustainability reporting has shifted from voluntary to mandatory in the EU under the CSRD requiring companies to adopt a double materiality perspective and adhere to common reporting standards known as ESRS. This regulation aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and comparability of sustainability data, fostering more sustainable business models and changing established management practices. T

The previous studies that mention Tagore and Gibran together have dealt merely with their lives or the influences they have had to one another. There has not been a comparative study of their works, say Gitanjali and The Prophet, with the focus on certain themes, such as love and longing. The prose-poems of Gibran and Tagore's songs have been influenced by Sufi poetry on the themes mentioned a

Standardmodellen inom partikelfysik har besvarat många av de frågor som människan har ställt genom åren. Till exempel har vi fått svar på frågor som: Vad är de minsta partiklarna uppbyggda av? Vilka krafter får dem att röra sig som de gör? Hur får partiklar sin massa? Även om många frågor har fått svar, leder varje öppnad dörr till en ny dörr bakom, med ett nytt lås vars nyckel ännu inte har hittaIn this thesis, we study the Higgs boson mass spectrum of a Scale Invariant Two Higgs Doublet Model that includes an additional real singlet. This model results in three neutral CP-even states due to the mixing with the singlet. At tree level, one of these states has zero mass. To obtain a consistent and accurate mass spectrum for the Higgs bosons, the scale invariance is broken by incorporating r

Denna text analyserar musikens roll i skapandet av dokumentärer och undersöker hur kompositören kan påverka det slutliga verket och vilken roll musiken har i det. Den belyser vikten av tidigt samarbete mellan tonsättare och regissör med betoning på öppen kommunikation och ömsesidig respekt. För detta genomfördes intervjuer där samma scen presenterades med två olika musikstycken. Sedan analyseradesTitle in English: The hidden embodiment of the story - An approach to music in documentary film. This text analyzes the role of music in the creation of documentaries and examines how the composer can influence the final work and what role music plays in it. It highlights the importance of early collaboration between composer and director with an emphasis on open communication and mutual respect.

A. R. Hochschild’s investigation into the gendered division of housework in the US during the 1980’s established the term ‘The Second Shift’ within the sociological scientific field and beyond, as a way of describing the housework done at home, mostly by women, in addition to the paid working day. This Bachelor’s thesis examines the relationship between the gendered division of household labour in

Purpose – The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the applicability and functions of tender platforms for logistics projects hosted by consultancy firms (CFs), and the benefits and challenges for logistics companies. Background – The digitization trend has transformed procurement practices, with e-tendering and tender platforms gaining attraction across industries. This shift is gra

The following bachelor's thesis investigates the sustainability-related tensions present within the single-use paper products and packaging industry. The addressed research question was structured in consideration of relevant theories, such as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), Dyllick & Hockerts (2002) sustainability model, stakeholder theory, and paradox management strategy within corporate s

As the world becomes a global market and the number of multinational enterprises (MNEs) continues to rise, understanding effective international marketing strategies becomes increasingly critical. This paper explores promotion strategies adapted to individual cultures and markets from a consumer perspective, addressing gaps left by previous studies that predominantly focus on quantitative analyses

This thesis presents a case for the establishment of a human right to financial inclusion under the human rights framework, as well as argues for states to legitimize the right through legal protection in the form of a legislation in order to effectively guarantee the significant benefits of the right for everyone. The rationale for this research is that, despite its immense contribution in human

This study follows cycling as an experienced symbolic activity during the 1890s in Sweden. The period has been framed in both Swedish and international research as pivotal for the activity in the western world. Cycling and the object itself were seen as emblematic of modernity and social status; the symbolism it had was lost due to the introduction of the car and the increased prevalence of bikes,

Forskning inom elektromagnetiska fenomen kan betraktas som en av de viktigaste vetenskapliga fälten, då en betydande del av modern teknologi och infrastruktur bygger på principer som har utvecklats från detta område. Att förstå det fysikaliska ursprunget av magnetiska effekter och deras tillämpningar är av stort intresse inom fasta tillståndets fysik. På senare år har teoretisk forskning förutspAltermagnetism is an emerging field within condensed matter physics. This new magnetic phase was first theoretically considered and later experimentally observed. The physical properties of altermagnets are speculated to make them appealing candidates for applications within fields such as spintronics and superconductivity. To determine which materials exhibit altermagnetism, numerical considerati

Background Companies are increasingly realizing that efficient distribution can contribute to gaining a competitive advantage in the market. By efficiently routing vehicles, the optimal balance between customer service and costs can be achieved. Consequently, the vehicle routing problem is one of the most critical challenges logistics companies face today. However, previous research on vehicle rou
