In markets with fierce competition and low switching costs, the capability to keep customers is just as important as the capability to get new customers. One of the cornerstones of efficiently keeping customers from churning is the ability to identify customers that are more prone to leaving the company than others. This way, churn prevention resources and measures can be efficiently directed towa
The Swedish Sea Cadet Corps (Sjövärnskåren / SVK) is a unique voluntary organisation with potential to greatly contribute to the Swedish society in times of crisis. The unique feature of SVK being the only voluntary organisation in Sweden that operates in the maritime domain, does not come without problems. I have in this study made clear to the reader where the problem lies and why there are prob
This text is a qualitative study based on interviews with gender non normative co-parents who have experiences with the Danish healthcare system in the process of becoming a parent. The study explores how experiences with the healthcare system can be understood as a part of their subjectivation. Through the lens of queer feminism, represented by Judith Butler, it thus critically investigates how s
A number of non-EU members – or third states – have chosen to participate in EU CSDP operations. This thesis seeks to answer why one of them, Iceland, has chosen to do so despite not being a member of the Union and not having any armed forces which are traditionally used in such activities. States have various motivations for participating in international crisis management operations and the same
Uppmärksammandet av att organisationer har ett arbetsgivarvarumärke, i kombination med en ökad efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft, har lett till uppkomsten av ett flertal best practice-modeller och konsultbyråer som specialiserat sig på att förvalta organisationers rykten som arbetsgivare. Tidiga definitioner av det som kommit att kallas för employer branding beskriver målet med detta att
Alfa Laval DC Lund is both a spare part manufacturer and distributer. The spare parts that Alfa Laval DC Lund supplies are used for the heat transfer business unit of Alfa Laval. Sometimes orders need to be produced fast as customers may have breakdowns in production and sometime orders arrive months earlier than customers want to receive delivery as scheduled services occur at the customer.

A model for the third order optical response of carotenoids is used to analyse transient grating and pump-probe data of peridinin in solution and bound in the peridinin-chlorophyll protein (PCP). For peridinin in solution, the transient grating signal detected at 505 nm exhibits a bi-exponential recovery whose fast phase is assigned to relaxation from the S-2 state that has a lifetime of 75 +/- 25

Rwanda har den högsta andelen kvinnliga parlamentariker i världen. 2008 antogs en ny lag om genusbaserat våld in Rwandas parlament. Den här kandidatuppsatsen undersöker hur kvinnor i Rwanda upplever effekterna av lagen i relation till deras handlingsutrymme och politiska självbestämmande, empowerment. En fältstudie genomfördes under april- maj 2010 med syfte att samla material om kvinnors erfarenhRwanda has the highest representation of female parliamentarians in the world. In 2008, a law against gender based violence passed the floor in the Rwandan government. This bachelor’s thesis examines how women in Rwanda experience the effects of this law in terms of their own perceived acting space(s) and empowerment. A minor field study was carried out in Rwanda April-May 2010 in order to gather
Moving to a new country and living in a new culture involves many processes of change and adaptation for the individual. Not only is the person surrounded by a new language, different norms, behaviour and traditions, but suddenly he or she is also an “immigrant” in this new society. This study was set out to examine the experience of being an immigrant in Sweden, with the aim to make the Swedish s
This study examines the effect that macroeconomic instability has had on the integration process of the Common Market of the Southern Cone (Mercosur) after 1999. The thesis concludes that while the member benefited from the creation of Mercosur up until 1998 through growth in intra-regional trade and the creation of static welfare effects, macroeconomic instability has eradicated most of these ben
This study was performed using daily spot prices, from January 1997 through July 2004; of the three assets that constitute the crack spread i.e. crude oil, gasoline and heating oil - all listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Our objective has been to characterize the dynamics of the spread and subsequently create trading strategies to yield returns that surpass that of a passive appr
The catalytic performance of porous silicon (PS) micro enzyme reactors (muIMER) is strongly dependent on the PS matrix morphology for enzyme immobilisation. PS was achieved in the muIMER by anodisation in a HF-ethanol mixture. PS etching of structured silicon surfaces commonly results in an inhomogeneous pore formation. The deep channel microreactors described herein have previously suffered from
High poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) content and volumetric productivity were achieved by fed-batch culture of Halomonas boliviensis using a defined medium. Initial shake flask cultivations in a minimal medium revealed that the growth of H. boliviensis was supported only when the medium was supplemented with aspartic acid, glycine, or glutamine. Addition of 0.1% (w/v) glutamine in the medium resulte

A comparative study of two different systems for evaluation. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. As with any type of treatment the requirement for evidence based practice (EBP) has also affected art therapy (AT) when used as an interve
Background: Enhancement of enzymatic digestibility by some supplementations could reduce enzyme loading and cost, which is still too high to realize economical production of lignocellulosic biofuels. A recent study indicates that yeast hydrolysates (YH) have improved the efficiency of cellulases on digestibility of furfural residues (FR). In the current work, the components of YH were separated by
This study investigates several commercial selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts (A–E) for application in a high-temperature (approximately 525 °C) and high-concentration (5000 ppm NO) system in combination with CO2 capture. The suggested process for removing high concentrations of NOx seems plausible and autothermal operation is possible for very high NO concentrations. A key property of
In this paper we study the evolution of radiative fluxes, flux radii and observable dust masses in protoplanetary discs, in order to understand how these depend on the angular momentum budget and on the assumed heat sources. We use a model that includes the formation and viscous evolution of protoplanetary gas discs, together with the growth and radial drift of the dust component. We find that we
