Transportation plays an essential role in the European economy. The European Transport Policy aims to establish a sustainable means of transportation system to provide the social, economic and environmental needs of society contributing to an integrated society. Major reasons for people to choose private cars over public transport are infrequent connections, inadequate infrastructure and low therm
Det finns mycket lite forskning om hur olika organisationsmodeller för nyanländas undervisning faktiskt fungerar. Därför har målet i den här uppsatsen varit att lyfta fem olika lärares uppfattningar om hur organisationen för nyanländas undervisning fungerar på deras skolor. Datainsamlingen har skett genom intervjuer. Lärare från olika delar av Sverige som arbetar på olika skolor med olika typer av
In water resource management, it is of importance to be able to predict how different activities might contaminate aquifers. For this kind of application, numerical modelling of water and solute transport can be a useful tool. The purpose of this study was to investigate if one-dimensional numerical modelling (Hydrus-1D) of water in the unsaturated zone of the subsoil is useful to assess the trans
Syfte: Syftet är att utreda hur going-concern varningar och andra faktorer påverkar storbankernas kreditgivningsbeslut och varför det finns likheter och skillnader storbankerna emellan. Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer med företagsrådgivare från tre storbanker i Sverige. Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsens frågeställningar besvaras med hjälp av institutionell teori. Denna teorin syftar till att
The restoration of particle number and angular momentum symmetry using projection operators has been theoretically investigated for mean-field Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) states. A computer code for the projection of particle number was then implemented. To do so efficiently and avoid the sign ambiguity of the Onishi formula, the computation of overlap between quasi-particle vaccums using Pfaffi
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the contractual relationships associated with the fair trade concept by applying organizational economics theory in order to contribute with theoretical and practical strategic management insights. The purpose stems from the underlying research problem concerning a lack of supplementary theoretical perspectives and development informing strategic de
Purpose - The paper seeks to contribute to closing the gap between conceptual benefits of Science Parks and their perceived effect. The paper aims to develop a conceptual framework of how managers of corporations and founders of startups perceive the emergence of interorganizational collaboration in a Science Park. The framework shall serve to understand how the Science Park can enable innovation
Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av smak- och luktförändringar i samband med vård på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats. Sju personer som hade vårdats på en intensivvårdsavdelning i södra Sverige intervjuades angående deras upplevelser av smak- och luktförändringar. Datainsamling utfördes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet a
The purpose with this paper is to put forward the complexity with employees’ identification with an organizations brand and the organization overall. We wish to examine the effects of internal employer branding, both through mainstream perspectives as well as through normative control. We hope to contribute with empirical support and deepen the knowledge for the impact that the brand has for the e
The current state of our environment is alarming. Increasing natural disasters worldwide and rising pollution levels made a conventional economic growth model illogical to abide by. Alternative growth models are of actuality, with the Green Economy being the most popular. Defined by UNEP (2011) as a “low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive” economy (p.9), it raises interest among the
The rapid urbanisation in Namibia led to the fast expansion of informal settlements, which are mainly characterised by a lack of basic services, such as running water, sanitation or electricity. To counteract the poor situation of informal settlements, land ownership is often argued to be a solution. While it is assumed to be an incentive for residents of informal settlements to invest in land dev
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur kollaborativt musikskapande fungerar i det progressiva doom-metal bandet At Cycles' End, och därmed också fördjupa kunskapen om hur den kreativa processen mellan bandets medlemmar går till, hur idéer bedöms och värderas, hur kommunikationen fungerar, samt på vilka sätt videodokumentation kan användas både i skapande- och repetitionssituationen och i veteThe purpose of the study is to investigate how collaborative music creation works in the progressive doom-metal band At Cycles' End, and thereby to deepen the knowledge of how the creative process works between the group-members, how ideas are judged and valued, how the communication works and what benefits the video documentation of the rehearsals gives to the creators and this scholarly refl
In order to successfully produce food products containing less damaged particles (approx. 1 cm3) it is important to investigate at which limit that the particle could be subjected to processing. This study attempted to predict particle breakage using mechanical test with image analysis as method validation. The characterization of different coarse particles was done using the developed methods on
The study shows how a professional service firm can manage intrinsic motivation by using training as a personnel control and how training can help when implementing cultural controls cultural. The results show that professionals’ perceive that all the needs for intrinsic motivation are positively related to training, with autonomy having the strongest relation, while extrinsic motivation to a larg
Reverse osmosis is one of the most common water purification techniques and is used in applications ranging from salt water desalination plants to medical devices. Baxter develops medical devices and water purification devices used in medical applications using the reverse osmosis technique. In this thesis a new flow path design is investigated. By replacing a single feed water pump with two indep
Many museums face the problem of low engagement on social media which is disadvantageous for them to improve brand relationships with their audience. This study aims to investigate the influential factors on the online audience perception of the museum by applying the brand resonance model. The Palace Museum in Beijing is selected as the case study and the followers of this museum on Weibo as the
