Purpose - The collection-delivery points in Sweden are the main delivery method and facilitates a growing volume of parcel deliveries from e-commerce. As the model has been implemented on such scale in the country, the negative externalities previously outlined in the literature can get magnified in the context of the Swedish consumers. It is important to gain a deeper understanding on every aspec

Business to Business (B2B) försäljning står för en stor del av dagens sålda varor och tjänster. Dessa säljprocesser blir alltmer komplexa och involverar fler personer än tidigare. B2B försäljningen har också börjat ske mer online. Genom den här avhandlingen så har författaren undersökt hur en typisk B2B säljprocess går till i ett försök att hitta säljaktiviteter som kan samlas på en gemensam plaBusiness to business (B2B) sales constitutes a big part of today's sold goods and services. These sales processes are getting more complex and involve more people than before. B2B sales are also more and more taking place online. Throughout this thesis the author has researched the nature of a typical B2B sales process in an attempt to find sales activities that could be gathered in a common

This is an explorative study of source material that has not been studied before, journals from Asylerna för husvilla in the beginning of the 20th century Stockholm. Asylerna för husvilla was a municipal organisation which was a part of the public poor relief in Stockholm at the time and offered temporal lodging, ”asyler”, for homeless people. The study is a quantitative study of the people who st

40 L tap water was ultra-filtered by M10 lab unit using 10 kDa regenerated membrane and 800 nm syringe filter to get the NPs. The filter NPs are then separated and characterized using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation with coupled multi angle light scattering (AF4-MALS). Calibration curve for determining the size distribution is made by polystyrene latex bead (20, 60, 100, 300, and 500 nm

Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra till en vidareutveckling av begreppet arbetsmiljö då det skett stora förändringar på arbetsmarknaden. Stressrelaterade sjukdomar och arbetsplats-olyckor blir allt vanligare och det krävs därför ett tydligare humanistiskt och människo-rättsligt perspektiv på begreppet arbetsmiljö. För detta har de risker som kan leda till ar-betsskador undersökts. För att få en bild The essay aims to contribute to the further development of the concept of the working environment as there have been major changes in the labor market. Stress-related diseases and workplace accidents are becoming more common and therefore a clearer humanistic and human rights perspective on the concept of working environment is required. For this, the risks that can lead to work injuries have been

Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate social work students’ attitude towards surrogacy. Based on the concepts of altruism and the theory of mere exposure effect the analysis aims to contribute to a discussion of knowledge, ethical dilemmas and attitudes linked to possible future legislation of surrogacy in Sweden. The lack of guidelines and legislation for surrogacy makes it diffic

Political trust in the EU has declined substantially in recent year and the growing divide between the Eurozone and the other member countries are at the heart of the scholarly debate. As a result, there is a growing body of literature on the determinants of political trust and public opinions in the EU. Existing research propose and test several explanations for the foundations of political trust

Background and Research Question Historically, Lindab has largely focused its efforts on the production, but as a part of recent development in company strategy, supply chain management has gained more attention. In this regard, more attention has been given to stock reduction and minimizing total setup times to get a leaner production. Therefore, the company wants to investigate the current produ

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att beskriva symbiosen mellan samhällets normer och den mediala bilden av herr- och damhandboll i Sverige. För att göra detta har både en kvalitativ och kvantitativ innehållsanalys applicerats på två av Skånes mest lästa dagstidningar; Sydsvenskan och Skånska Dagbladet. Studien har utgått ifrån Lugis herr- och damlag. Materialet har studerats genom Iris Marion YoungsThe purpose of this thesis has been to describe the symbiosis between the norms of society and the media’s role in the portrayal of men and women´s handball in Sweden. To achieve this, both a qualitative and quantitative content analysis have been applied to two of Skåne’s most read newspapers; Sydsvenskan and Skånska Dagbladet. The study has focused on Lugi´s men’s and women´s team. The material

Poly- och perfluorerade alkylsubstanser (PFAS) är en stor grupp av syntetiska miljöföroreningar som började att produceras i mitten av 1900-talet och har upptäckts globalt i miljön, människor och vilda djur. Oron över långtidseffekter ökar eftersom ämnena ansamlas i mänskliga organ och organismer samt att det fortfarande är osäkert hur dessa ämnen påverkar människor och djur. Djurförsök har visat Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found globally in the environment, in humans and in wildlife and it is still not sure how these substances affect humans and animals. This study was performed as a systematic review to examine when these substances first attracted attention in different research areas. Also, to examine when the first publication was published and how the rese

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. Aware that a variety of cerebellar models with different levels of details has been developed, we focused on a high-level model called MOSAIC. This model is thought to be able to describe the cerebellar functionality without getting into the details of the neural circuitry. To understand where this model

In the context of multinational corporations, subsidiaries became increasingly important for the organization as a whole over the last decades. Taking into account gaps found in the literature in the field of subsidiaries, the authors of this thesis aim to understand “how does individual intrapreneurship within a subsidiary impact the role of this subsidiary in an MNC context?”. In order to under

Densiteten I stadens utveckling utmanar oss arkitekter till att skapa bra arkitektur i stadsrummet. Staden växer och skapar nya förutsättningar i människans vardag. Staden förtätas och då brist på bra centralt placerad mark blir väldigt påfrestande så skapas nya urbana typologier. Jag vill i mitt examensarbete arbeta vidare på denna problematik och undersöka mer specifikt, hur ser bostaden ut i The density of the city’s development challenges us architects to create good architecture in the urban space. The city grows and creates new conditions in people’s everyday lives. The city is densified and when the lack of good centrally located sites becomes very challenging, new urban typologies are created. In my master thesis, I work further on this problem and investigate more on what hous

Sammanfattning Livsmedelsbranschen och vi konsumenter står inför en stor utmaning, att minska matsvinnet. Vi konsumenter har ett matavfall på cirka 95 kilo om året. Av detta anses ungefär 28 procent slängas av felaktiga grunder. Brödsvinnet uppgår mot 80 400 ton varje år. Svinnet uppstår i hela värdekedjan. En av anledningarna till det höga svinnet hos konsumenter är att brödet blir för gammalAbstract The food industry and we consumers face a major challenge, to reduce food waste. We consumers have a food waste of about 95 kilos a year. Of this, approximately 28 percent is considered to be thrown away on incorrect grounds. Bread waste amounts to 80,400 tonnes each year. The loss occurs throughout the value chain. One of the reasons for the high waste of consumers is that the bread

Climate change leads to rapid, differential changes in phenology across trophic levels, often resulting in temporal mismatches between predators and their prey. If a species cannot easily adjust its timing, it can adapt by choosing a new breeding location with a later phenology of its prey. In this study, we experimentally investigated whether long-distance dispersal to northern breeding grounds w

The study concerns the general trends in the automotive industry as a whole. A deeper e

Abstract The Transtaganolides/Basiliolides (T/B) are C-19 terpenolides found in the plants Thapsia Garganica L., Thapsia Transtagana Brot and Thapsia Villosa var. Villosa L. from the Umbelliferae family. Reports suggest that these compounds have reversible SERCA-inhibiting properties and therefore are of great interest for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkin

Electric bicycles have over time become a common method of transportation. With a rapidly increasing user base and expensive prices, there is also an increasing demand for safety and insurance. Bike safety can be used to notify the bicycle owner of a potential theft, or to locate the position of the bike when it is lost. Improving the autonomous vehicle’s position tracking when its location is unk

It is far from a secret that we presently live at a time when the journalistic terms are influenced by digitalisation and new types of media. While news reporting characteristically has been done by trained professionals, the news scene now finds itself with an influx of amateurs. However, whether people view alternative channels as trustworthy sources of information or not, there subsequently is
