The elderly population within the European Union is growing where as the amount of caregivers is not. The objective of the NavMem project is to make older citizens more self-sufficient and confident specifically while traveling on foot. This could potentially lead to a more active and social life while decreasing the need of senior citizen care. With this objective in mind the NavMem consortium ha
This study was carried out in order to identify the main insect species responsible for forest damages (pests) in Sweden, and to explore the relationships between insect outbreaks and environmental variables (temperature, precipitation, and availability of insect host trees, including storm damaged trees). Special attention was given to changes in management practices through time, and their conse
Dricksvatten är vårt viktigaste livsmedel och att vattnet vi får ur kranen är rent ser vi som en självklarhet. I Sverige är tillgången på rent grundvatten god tack vare rådande klimat och andra förutsättningar i naturen, men en stor mängd föroreningar och gifter som sprids i miljön riskerar att förorena grundvattnet. Dessa miljöbovar kan förekomma naturligt, till exempel i berggrunden, eller ha siWater is one of our most valuable resources and polluted water is possibly harmful to both humans and the environment. It is hence of great importance to maintain high quality in drinking water to protect human health. A large number of different contaminants and toxins spread in the environment have the potential to contaminate groundwater. One of these pollutants is arsenic originating from ammu
This paper aims to synthesise and build further on recent research of consumer behaviour, in order to explain how the industry affects consumer behavioural intentions towards early phase innovations. The rationale for this relies on the non-accessibility of early phase innovations and the implication that they cannot yet be experienced by consumers, which further means they cannot be objectively e
Problemformulering: Det ställs alltmer skärpta krav på att förbättra miljö, arbetsmiljö, logistik och ekonomi inom byggproduktion och det krävs därmed att hitta nya metoder som tillmötesgår de nya kraven. Konfektionering har tagits upp som en metod som kan minska byggproduktionens miljöpåverkan och skapa en bättre arbetsmiljö. Om denna metod även kan användas för att effektivisera logistiken och mProblem: In the construction industry there are increasingly higher requirements to reduce the environmental impact and production costs as well as improve the work environment and construction logistics. To meet these new requirements, new production methods are needed. Studies have shown, ready-to-use construction materials can be used in order to improve the environmental impact and the work en
Starting from the human and societal need to safeguard cultural heritage (CH) in order to connect to past generations’ knowledge and human experience, digital preservation (DP) is a common practice undertaken by cultural heritage organisations (CHOs). DP is heavily relying on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as the fundamental enabling equipment. However, ICT is coming wit
Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större The food industry in Sweden stands for approximately 20-25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of the total eutrophication in the country. One way to reduce the impact is to reduce the amount of food waste that occurs along the food chain. Food waste can vary between 10-50% depending on the course of the chain and the type of food. Through global and national goals, the problem of food waste
Mobila exergames, det vill säga mobilspel som uppmuntrar användaren till fysisk aktivitet, har ökat i popularitet de senaste åren i samband med spel som Pokémon GO och Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, men stora brister råder fortfarande när det gäller tillgänglighet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. I denna uppsats undersöks tillgängligheten i ett antal mobila exergames på marknaden för att utredMobile exergames, that is mobile games that encourage the user to engage in physical activities, have increased in popularity during the last years due to the success of games such as Pokémon GO and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, but there is a substantial lack when it comes to accessibility for people with disabilities. In this thesis the aim is twofold, first the accessibility of mobile exergames
Problem: The relations between first and second tier suppliers within the automotive industry have changed drastically during recent years. Previously involving the supply of simple components, today the relation involves collaborative product development of complex subsystems. The situation is rather new for the actors, hence there are a number of problems that act as restraints for the collabora

In addition to Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory, the study also explores literature that is related to interrelatedn
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om ett fullgott juridiskt ramverk i syfte att skydda den arktiska regionen redan är etablerat, eller om ytterligare juridiska instrument behöver tillkomma för att så ska vara fallet. Frågan diskuteras med bakgrund av det faktum att den arktiska isen smälter i en hög takt, och att framtiden för regionen sannolikt kommer att se väldigt annorThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the legal framework to govern the Arctic can be said to be in place already, or if additional judicial measures need to be taken, given the future that awaits the region as a result of the ongoing rapid ice melt. For many decades, or even centuries, it was the common perception that the Arctic would remain permanently ice-covered, and be
I have conducted a qualitative study based on five adult sober alcoholics’ life stories. The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe
The WEEE Directive requires the producers to fulfil e-waste compliance according to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) principle. In order for producers to comply with the requirements nationally, collective compliance schemes were formed. Usually the manufacturers join together and form producer responsibility organisations (PROs) which take the responsibility for organising the waste man
Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att belysa hur man inom svensk rätt sett på problematiken rörande simulation av sinnessjukdom, när simulantens intention varit att undvika straff. Jag har använt mig av ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv och berör inte modernare lagstiftning än den som är stiftad tidi-gare än år 1929. Även om huvudsyftet är simulationsproblematiken har jag ansett det viktigt att ge The purpose of this bachelor’s essay is to show how the Swedish legal sys-tem has dealt with simulation of mental illness, where the simulator’s pur-pose was to avoid conviction. I have used a legal historical perspective and the essay does not concern more modern legislation than that made before the year of 1929. Though the main subject of the study is simulation, I have also described the rest
Den vanligaste formen för utländska företag att bedriva verksamhet i Sverige är genom ett svenskt aktiebolag. Så har det varit under mycket lång tid men sedan år 1955 finns även möjligheten att bedriva verksamheten genom en svensk filial. Aktiebolagsformen är alltjämt vanligast men filialformen har med åren blivit mer populär. Vid utgången av år 2012 fanns 2 631 filialer registrerade i Sverige. FiForeign companies running business in Sweden usually register a Swedish ”aktiebolag” which is a type of company controlled by the company shareholders. Similar forms of corporations are the German Aktiengesellschaft and the British limited company. For a long time the only available option was to register a Swedish legal person in order to conduct business in Sweden. However, since 1955 it has bee
The authors Jeremy Carrette and Richard King argues that spirituality has become a subject of commodification (i.e. transformed into a commodity) as a consequence of the growing impact of Neoliberalism in the Western world since the 1980´s. These new forms of spirituality substitute traditional religion in secular societies and often operate with a hidden economic agenda. McDonaldization is a soci
