The manufacturing and use of nanoparticles has rapidly increased over the last years. There is a growing concern about potential negative enviromental effects, particularli to aquatic systems, due to the high probability of nanoparticles ending up in these systems. It is of the highest importance to anderstand nanoparticles toxicity and behavior in the natural environment, so a complete risk asses
Nyckelord: Skandal, ursäkt, ansvar, kundförtroende, åtgärd Syfte: Denna uppsats vill skapa en bättre förståelse för hur företag bör uttrycka sig i media efter en skandal, för att bättre möta det som konsumenterna efterfrågar av dessa uttalanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är därmed att hjälpa företag att förbättra sina uttalanden vid skandaler och därmed lyckas bättre med sin krishantering. Metod:
Vilken typ av luftbehandlingssystem som ska användas vid nybyggnation av en byggnad, är något som det alltid måste tas ställning till. Ibland fungerar bara en enda lösning, ibland finns det flera lösningar att välja på. Det beror på de förutsättningar som finns i projektet, till exempel byggnadens utformning och det utrymme som finns tillgängligt för luftbehandlings-installationen. Många konsulter
I denna kvalitativa studie undersöks hur rytmikmetod kan användas i instuderingsprocessen vid undervisning i vokal- och/eller instrumentalmusik för högstadie- och gymnasieelever. I studien intervjuades fyra musiklärare som undervisar i kör- eller ensembleundervisning varav tre är utbildade i rytmik. Det tydligaste resultatet i denna studie är att rytmik interagerar med och möter instuderingsproce
Irresponsible Business Practices (IBPs) form the counterpart of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). While the latter represents a very popular field of research, IBPs are still under- researched especially when both factors are put into context. In the furniture retail industry, IBPs are a rather recent subject in production process and supplier relationships. As the purpose of CSR is not to co
This thesis explores the Nearest Neighbour recommender algorithm and a proposed way of recomputing the elements of a set, containing values from a similarity metric. In essence, this extends the neighbourhood used in the algorithm by making use of close neighbours’ neighbours. This proposal is motivated by the hypothesis that high user preference similarity is transitive. A programme was implement
Tillgången på information har aldrig varit så utbredd som den är idag eftersom mediebruset finns överallt och är världsomfattande. Det har därmed blivit svårt för människor att hitta rätt information vid rätt tillfälle inom exempelvis ehandeln. E-barometerns helårsrapport (2014) menar att e-handelns framtida utmaningar är att underlätta konsumenters informationssökande och organisera den stora in
Clusters of stem cells at the tip of each plant shoot give rise to all of its above-ground organs, effectively controlling the development and the physical shape of the plant. A core network of negative feedback between CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and WUSCHEL (WUS) regulate the stem cells existence and behaviour in Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite the close relationship of these genes, their expression domains a
Driving comfort is subjective; every driver has their set of preferences on how a car should behave. As the ability to control and suppress unwanted disturbances has increased with increased technological abilities, the demands on driving comfort in modern cars also rise. To account for these new demands, the testing and evaluation of the driving comfort becomes increasingly important for car manu
Biofuels are considered to be an environmental friendly alternative to fossil fuels as they have the potential to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases. Studies have showed that an increased use of ethanol could alter the atmospheric chemical composition and enhance urban ozone concentrations resulting in higher human mortality rates. In recent years furanic compounds have been considere
Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm has been widely used in the Digital Signal Processing industry as a rudimentary operation to select the specific frequency components of a signal, which has been involved with other time domain signals. In order to fulfill the requirements of executing precise calculations and less power & area consumption, an algorithm with less number of adders and
All biological information is located in the genome. However, not all of the genome is available for transcription at all times. In the nucleus, genomic DNA is tightly packed around histones which are further packed into nucleosomes and chromatin. The packing of DNA inhibits transcription factors from transcribing the underlying DNA. To make the DNA more accessible, the packing can be modified in
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how financial management works in smaller construction projects by studying a case company, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their routines and systems. The objective of the study is to provide improvement suggestions for the case company and their financial management. Problem: How to work with financial management in smaller construction
Internet of Things (IoT) has become a frequent subject mentioned worldwide. PalCom is a system for handling the problems that occurs in IoT applications and is focused on the user groups that are developers and skilled PalCom participants. This forecloses a higher level user group for managing their own PalCom network, e.g. end users for a smart home where they build their own smart home manager w
Syftet av detta arbete är att visa hur en person utan insiderinformation kan kartlägga nybyggnationen av kontorsfastigheter och utvärdera huruvida det är en balans mellan utbud och efterfrågan på denna marknad. Arbetet grundar sig i antagandet att det finns en obalans i utbud och efterfrågan på Malmös framtida kontorsmarknad. Till arbetet samlades information från hemsidor, marknadsundersökningar
The Indo-Pakistani rivalry has lasted for more than seven decades, experienced four major wars, countless armed skirmishes and extensive cross-border communal violence, resulting in more than one million casualties, and enormous amounts of resources diverted towards security. The disputed Kashmir region is often cited as the main reason for the persistence of the conflict. However, due to environm
This thesis analysed the development of international trade patterns during the period from 1980 to 2013. More specifically, the research focused on the structure of North-South relations during this period and how China has influenced its dynamic. The legacy of colonialism left behind a particlar configuration of international trade, which was highly disadvantageous for the countries of the globa
Att bygga hus med glas är ingen nyhet. Det ger fördelar som att kunna se ut och få in dagsljus. Växthus skapar en skyddande miljö för växter, och då solen strålar värms byggnaden upp genom växthuseffekten. Kombineras ett vanligt boende med ett omslutande växthus skapas ett så kallat naturhus. Grundtanken är att kunna leva med minimal miljöpåverkan och maximal livskvalitet. Växthuset ger möjlighet Building houses with glass is not novelty. It provides benefits like being able to look out and shed light inside. Greenhouses create a protective environment for plants, and the sun rays heats up the building due to the greenhouse effect. Combining a standard accommodation with a wraparound greenhouse creates a so-called “nature house”. The basic idea is to be able to live with minimal environmen
