This thesis is using the example of Abercrombie & Fitch’s handling of presentational change caused by a crisis in annual reports. The company was accused to discriminate employees and customers on grounds of distinction of human beings, their appearance and ethnic backgrounds. Fairclough’s approach of critical discourse analysis is used as a theoretical and methodological framework to uncover

Abstract Problem: While it has been extensively studied which personal characteristics enhance entrepreneurial learning from failure, the mechanisms of how those characteristics contribute to entrepreneurial learning process has not yet been fully understood. Aim: Through a comprehensive model, this research aims to explore how different personal characteristics influence the different stages o

Historiskt sett har transportören, med undantag för force majeure och krigshandlingar, varit strikt ansvarig för all skada på det transporterade godset. Detta kom att förändrades under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet när transportörerna började begränsa sina ansvarsgrunder med klausuler i transportavtalen. Snart var transportörerna inte ansvariga för i princip någonting, vilket var pThe carrier has historically been strictly liable for all damage to the cargo carried, with the exception of acts of God and war. This changed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when the carriers began to limit their liabilities in the contract of carriage. They were soon not liable for very much which was problematic for the shippers, since they did not receive compensation when their goods

Att ta fram metoder för upprening av komponenter är ofta en tidskrävande och kämpig process. Processen kräver först ett flertal experiment med små mängder prov, vilket utförs i småskaliga labb. När sagda småskaliga labb fått kläm på tekniken är det dags att testa den i en större skala. Men om nu komponenten som ska renas är dyr att framställa blir denna process snabbt kostsam. Det är här mjukvaranPreparative chromatography is an important separation technique in downstream processing for several industries. It has the ability to separate two or more component from each other to achieve high purity. Most components that are separated with preparative chromatography are high value components and it is therefore necessary to use small amounts in the development of the process too lower costs.

Syftet med den här studien är att hitta metoder för att kunna beskriva hur mätarlarver påverkar fjällbjörkskogen som ekosystem. I studien används olika metoder, fjärranalys och statistisk analys av satellitdata, samt intervjuer med personer som har god lokalkännedom. Genom att kombinera kvantitativ- och kvalitativmetod har dataanalysens slutsatser kunnat bekräftas. Det aktuella studieområdet liggeSince the mid-1950s, studies have frequently been conducted on couplings between geometrid moth outbreaks and mountain birch, though not nearly as much focus has been on connections between geometrid moth outbreaks and ground cover. Previous studies have shown that major outbreaks of Epirrita autumnata occur in 9 – 10-year cycles (Karlsson et al., 2004). Sometimes also the Operophtera brumata are

The Japanese legal system before 1880 was based on a legal system of Chinese origin. After the Tokugawa-shogunate fell in 1867, the Japanese government carried out a modernization of the legal system through reception of European law. In the penal law area, the Penal Codes of 1880 and 1907 were issued based on the European model. The purpose of this essay is to compare penal law development in Eur

The aim of this qualitative study has been to analyze how young adults with Yugoslavian background form and sustain relations across national borders. The study covers second-generation migrants (hereby titled as young adults with Yugoslavian background) who are born in Sweden, with Yugoslavian born parents that came to Sweden as refugees between the years of 1990-1998. Ten semi-structured intervi

This study examined the acculturation strategies of immigrant adolescents in Sweden and their relation to the mental health symptoms. The participants were 101 immigrant adolescents and 52 Swedish adolescents 15 to 19 years old. ‘Immigration paradox’ was examined comparing the mental health of first and second generation of immigrants and the native Swedes. Youth Self Report was used to assess men

An assessed property value assigned to real estate in Sweden is required by law to represent 75 % of the market value two years prior to the year of taxation. It can be proven that the assessed value differs, when property is subdivided from an agricultural unit to create a single-family house unit. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and explain why assessed values of single-family hous

With the aim to reach goals in a more efficient way and to create a faster process for projects scientists in CIFE (Center for Facility Engineerig) developed a method for meetings they call ICE. ICE is known as a bigger form of meeting where many technique-areas gather to make the project move forward. Sweco, the company where the study took place, is the first Swedish consulting company to certif

Den Europeiska Unionen utgör ett överstatligt samarbete mellan medlemsstaterna och dess viktigaste mål är en konkurrenskraftig inre marknad. Konkurrensrätten utgör ett vitalt verktyg för EU:s upprätthållande av konkurrensen på marknaden och genomdrivs huvudsakligen av Kommissionen. Privata sanktionsmedel, särskilt konkurrensskadetalan, har emellertid fått ökad betydelse. Denna utveckling har resulThe European Union is a supranational cooperation between its Member States, and its main objective is a highly competitive internal market. Competition law is a vital tool in the protection of competition on the market. It is mainly enforced by the Commission. However, private enforcement through competition damages actions, has become increasingly important. This development has resulted in a Di

There are several unregulated intangible services (Swe: immateriella tjänster) within the Swedish law, where a contractor, with reference to freedom of contract, can limit their contractual liability by using limitation of liability clauses. A debate has taken place regarding gross negligence and whether or not it can act as an independent reason for breaching a limitation of liability clause, in

The digital and technical developments within the archive community during the last decades reflect how changes has been made in the conditions of preservation and curation of archive material.This has also raised questions concerning the approach to digital and web based documents within the archival community. The digital and technical developments had a significant impact on the social platform

Climate change is a fact and effects everybody on this planet, whether its humans, plants or animals. There is a comprehensive agreement about the mechanisms on how aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth, but there is a need of more knowledge to fully understand climate change and the strength of the aerosol radiative forcing. The aim of this thesis is to investigate if the SM

Säker hantering av animaliska biprodukter minskar spridning av sjukdomar Ungefär 200 människor har dött på grund av Creutzfeldt-Jakobs sjukdom, efter att ha ätit kött från sjuka kor. Sjukdomen är förknippad med den ”galna ko-sjukan” även kallat Bovin Spongiform Encefalopat (BSE). BSE sprider sig genom att kött- och benmjöl framställt av BSE-sjuka nötkreatur har använts som foder. BSE sprids till Animal by-products (ABP) is an unknown area in food control in Sweden, mainly grocery stores. ABP affects many different areas, such as food, feed, animal welfare and waste. Swedish Board of Agriculture defines animal by-products as follows: "Animal by-products are material from the animal kingdom which is not food and have not yet been processed or treated to be included in the concept of m

Efter kontakt med exploateringsavdelningen på WSP i Stockholm fick vi förslaget att,i samarbete med dem, titta närmare på hur kostnader för utbyggnad av allmän platsfördelas när fler än en exploatör verkar inom samma detaljplan. En fråga som WSP, iform av rådgivande konsulter, anser är intressant att undersöka. 6 kap. 40 § plan- och bygglagen (2010:900) ligger till grund för kommunens rätt att taThe aim of this paper is to represent various distribution principles that occur when a municipality divide costs for expansion of public space between developers who act in the same detailed development plan. We will look at different principles to divide costs, compare projects, investigate geographical differences, compare the cost that is debited and discuss transparency in the land developme
