In this study we examine how entrepreneurs, conscious or unconsciously, make use of impression management strategies in a textual se

Fler människor tenderar ständigt att bosätta sig i städer samtidigt som handelsvaror och transporter ökar. Det innebär utmaningar i att utforma en citylogistik som ska hantera ökningen på den komprimerade ytan som staden erbjuder. Citylogistik är komplext, det grundar sig i antalet aktörer med dess mångfald, men även policys och utformningar som kan utmana logistiken i staden. Citylogistik präglas

The ecological footprint of mankind has made a large impact on the world and is one of the main reasons for climate change, which is now the greatest threat faced by humanity. The world’s population is getting larger and food production is running high to meet our needs. Food is being shipped all over the world, even though many countries have the capacity to grow crops on their own. Sweden and ot

Social networking sites have become platforms of strategic importance to brand communication. However, to date, little is known about how brands should communicate with overstimulated digital natives on these platforms, especially concerning the language style they should use. In light of the phenomenon of brands increasingly adjusting to a human style of communication, this qualitative study take

Hur ofta reflekterar du över varifrån ditt dricksvatten kommer, vad det kostar och vad som krävs för att det ska nå hem till just dig? Det enkla svaret är: förmodligen nästan aldrig. Att förändra invanda beteendemönster är svårt. Framför allt när det inte tycks finnas tillräckligt med incitament för det. Men det finns faktiskt flertalet viktiga anledningar att vi bör bli bättre på att hushålla mClimate change will likely cause future water crises in many parts of the world, making it crucial for humanity to adapt to a life in which sustainable water use behaviors are key. To achieve this, organizations managing drinking water need increased knowledge on how to communicate conservation messages that will lead to behavior changes. This study used the framework the Behavior Change Wheel (B

The demand for higher education is quickly rising in the Sub-Saharan Africa region and the question of giving access to all members of society often comes down to financing. Many countries, including Tanzania, have opted for cost-sharing policies where the cost of education is split between the state and the individuals - leaving many without the possibility of attending higher education. This mas

Att vissa plaster kan brytas ned med hjälp av mikroorganismer och deras enzymer i jord, kompost och andra biologiskt aktiva miljöer är det långt ifrån alla som vet. Dessa plaster, en del av de så kallade biopolymererna, kan brytas ned till väldigt små delar som organismerna sedan kan dra nytta av genom att de får i sig bland annat energi och kolväten för att fortsätta leva, växa och förökas. I denThe use of biopolymers instead of traditional fossil fuel based and non-biodegradable polymers is seen as a positive step forward towards a more environmentally friendly future. This project investigates a granule product that is used in a dishwashing system with the aim of gaining knowledge about how it is affected by the storage in between uses and its biodegradability. The product is based on a

PolyAl, the material composed of laminated polyethylene (PE) films and aluminum (Al) in carton, is a challenge in recycling due to the strong adhesion of the layers and the low value of the end products. In Europe, recent efforts to improve the circularity of carton packages include the chemical separation of PolyAl, in order to obtain higher values of the PE and Al separately. However, an undiagn
