Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th

Title: An Industry Perspective: The Perceived Barriers in Different Forms of U-I Collaboration and How they Influence the Outcome Date of the seminar: May 2018 Course: ENTN39 Master´s Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master´s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Olaf Bouwstra & Tillie Johansson Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Examiner: Sotaro Shibayama Research que

Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin

Syfte: Syftet är att ur ett resursbaserat perspektiv öka förståelsen för ett konsultföretags resursanvändning, och för de bakomliggande faktorer som skapar framgång i ett växande konsultföretag. Syftet är även att utreda om den resursbaserade teorin kan vara ett komplett analysverktyg för sådana företag. Metod: Vi använder oss av en kvalitativ metod med deduktiv ansats. Vi kommer med hjälp av priPurpose: The purpose is to increase the understanding of the resource allocation of a consultancy firm from a resource-based view, and analyze how the underlying factors can create success in a growing consultancy firm. The purpose is also to review if the resource-based view can be used as an analyzing tool for such firms. Methodology: We have been using a qualitative method with a deductive ap

Mobila teknologier har medfört en ökad flexibilitet i anställdas vardag. Detta har kommit att påverka de anställdas balans mellan arbete och fritid då de tilldelas arbetsuppgifter även på sin fritid. I denna studie undersökte vi hur dessa anställda upplever att smarttelefonen påverkar denna balans. Syftet var att belysa vilken inverkan den flexibilitet som smarttelefonen frambringar har på balanse

The thesis is concerning the lack of emphasis of human rights in the works and treaties of World Intellectual Property Organization. So, it looked at finding a human rights framework for World Intellectual Property Organization, which would provide greater accessibility and participation by the society. In order to frame it, the impacts of intellectual property on human rights were analyzed. The i

Vi har redogjort för K2- och K3-regelverken och i praktiken finns tydliga skillnader. I K2-regelverket finns begränsande förenklingsregler och i K3-regelverket ges möjlighet att göra egna bedömningar och utforma redovisning och årsredovisning efter företagets situation. I slutsatsen utgår vi från ett medelstort företag, vilket vi definierar som ett företag som ligger över gränsvärdet 50/25/50 men

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) aims to develop end-of-life product systems and reduce environmental impacts of product across entire life cycle. The empirical study of how EPR programmes have influenced design change is still few especially for complex and durable products such as EEE. Japan introduced EPR programmes in 2001 for four large home appliances (TV sets, air conditioners, refrig

During recent decades we have witnessed growing scientific concern, public debate and media attention concerning the possible adverse effects on humans and wildlife that may result from exposure to a wide range of environmental contaminants. These contaminants are called endocrine disrupters, or endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of

Radionuclides from the Chernobyl accident were released and dispersed during a limited period of time, but under different weather conditions. As a result the radionuclides were unevenly distributed on the ground. During the years the initial deposition has been altered at some locations by different processes, but remains relatively unchanged in others. Here we report on the current inhomogeneous

Public procurement for innovation is a matter of using public demand to trigger innovation. Empirical studies have demonstrated that demand-based policy instruments can be considered to be a powerful tool in stimulating innovative processes among existing firms. However, the existing literature has not focused on the role this policy instrument can play in the promotion of (knowledge-intensive) en

Syftet med studien är att, utifrån institutionell teori och exit- och voice-teorin, studera hur företagen på Nasdaq OMX SSE, Large Cap, efterföljer Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning (Koden). Centralt är sambandet mellan företagets ägarstruktur eller ägartyp kopplat till avvikelser från Koden. Tidsperioden är 2006 till 2008. Det vetenskapliga angreppssättet i denna uppsats är en hypotetisk-deduktiv met

This report contains an evaluation of the establish frequency for external emergency plans. The conclusions are based on case studies and poll answers. The assessment in this report is that the establish frequency has increased during 2004. Suggestions how to reach a better understanding for the subject has been given.

Globaliseringen av kulturen, ekonomin och politiken leder till gränsöverskridande interaktioner för många aktörer mellan regioner och länder. I takt med att kommunikationen blir allt snabbare och når allt fler platser ökar kontakten mellan människor och ger ögonblickligen information om händelser från alla jordens hörn. Nya innovationer och medicinska genombrott stärker livskvaliteten och ökar livThe globalization of culture, economy and politics leads to cross-border interactions of actors across regions and countries. As communication gets faster and reaching more places contact between people is increasing and information on events from every corner of the world is accessible. New innovations and medical breakthroughs will strengthen the quality of life and increase life expectancy for

Problem The procurement of a complete factory, including the design, manufacturing and installation, is a common way for automotive producers when acquiring new production equipment for new models. Due to the long lead times of a procurement process, the process has to commence well before the finalisation of the design of the car to be built. This makes the formulation of requirements very comple

The goal of this thesis has been to evaluate the design guidelines that currently exist regarding designing for metal additive manufacturing (AM). More specifically, this project has focused on the design guidelines regarding thin-walled features and how well they work when applied to adapt an industrial part for manufacturing with the AM process laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Making the walls

The case of Bertil Ströberg has repeatedly been called one of Sweden's most remarkable criminal cases. The indictment against Ströberg from 1983 claims that he committed grave espionage against Sweden on behalf of Poland. Ströberg says that he is innocent of the crime, and fought until his death to get his case reopened in the Supreme Court. That Ströberg would be innocent is explained by the

The purpose of this study is to answer in what ways EU regulation and national strategies protect individuals under the age of majority from the misuse of artificial intelligence. This is done by examining the Commission's current proposal for the Artificial Intelligence Act, and by analyzing the national AI strategies in twelve Member States. Additionally, AI experts are interviewed about chi

This Bachelor's degree project investigates how sofas can reach longer life span through circular design. It follows the steps of a classic design development process, from research and ideation to a final prototype. The result is Remain, a modular sofa that can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled multiple times enabling reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling.
