In Sweden, household waste is separated at the source, making the success of the recycling system largely depending on the active participation of households. In a well-established recycling system with functioning recycling infrastructure and information, the conditions for ‘recyclers’ and ‘non-recyclers’ are akin, indicating the external conditions, recycling infrastructure and information, not

Social Mobile Apps: A Case Study of Carlsberg’s CrowdIt Purpose/Originality/Value: Through an analysis of the Carlsberg’s CrowdIt-App, the case study whishes to draw attention to three conceptual areas, which have received scant attention,namely social mobile application (app), culture, and strategic mobile campaigning. While some prominent Public Relations and Communication Management scholars ha

Since 1910, the major income of Venezuela comes, from the oil exploitation industry which is connected to the consolidation of the nation-state. This oil wealth has throughout history influenced its relations with countries in the Americas, United States and the rest of the world. This case-study examines Venezuela as a petro-state and its impacts on Latin American post-liberal regionalism and po

This theory testing study investigates the decision-making of the member states in the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO, using a game theoretical approach. Game theory has its origins in political philosophy and can thus be valuable when analysing the behaviour of states in international regimes. Through using the specific game theory model Stag Hunt, this study aims to examine if such a model c

This paper examines the relationship between Big Data and two financial assets. This is achieved through replication of the portfolio method proposed by Preis, Moat and Stanley (2013) which examines and tests the relationship between search engine query volumes and financial markets. Collecting data from 98 different search terms, this paper extends the study by applying the strategy to two new fi

A multi-antenna base station (BS) can spatially multiplex a few terminals over the same bandwidth, a technique known as multi-user, multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO). A new idea in cellular MU-MIMO is the use of a large excess of BS antennas to serve several single-antenna terminals simultaneously. This so-called "massive MIMO" promises attractive gains in spectral efficiency with

Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b

The ray tracing algorithm has long been used to create near photorealistic images and even simple ray tracers can simulate effects such as shadows, reflections and refractions where other methods struggle. Today, the state-of-the-art CPU ray tracers are typically those that are able to efficiently leverage datalevel parallelism at the instruction level by using SIMD extensions to allow the process

The Japanese economy has since the beginning of the 1990’s suffered from a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Known as the Lost Decade, but extending its influence well into the 2000’s and beyond, many attempts has been made to reverse the stagnation. The latest of these has come to be known as Abenomics and is headed by incumbent Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. In this essay we investigate wheth

I Sverige är det få arbetsterapeuter som arbetar inom skolan. Enligt studier skulle arbetsterapeuter tillsammans med andra yrkeskategorier kunna bidra till utveckling av skolverksamheten. Inga tidigare studier har identifierat vilka aktivitetsproblem elever med multihandikapp har i sin skolmiljö. Syftet var att identifiera aktivitetsproblem samt dess orsaker hos elever med multihandikapp på en gym

The current market of financing mechanisms to support distributed solar energy within the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region is infant and as such has not been described or analysed appropriately. Within Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt this research firstly identified and described the contextual background of these four countries and how they impact on financing mechanism deployment

This thesis aims to examine the development of CSR reporting in the banking sector. The emphasis is set on a number of characteristics. Trends for standardization will be also examined.

Bridges have been built around the world for at least 3000 years and have made it possible for man to travel over obstacles like valleys and rivers, which has contributed to the rapidly growing infrastructure we have today. Efforts made to save materials and reduce production costs have led to lighter and slender structures, which in turn can cause dynamic problems where the bridge is sensitive to

This paper aims at assessing the economic features and the environmental impact of a wooden tower used in wind-solar renewable energy generating systems. The life cycle assessment method and return on investment method were used in order to achieve the objectives of the study. Two types of towers were used in the analysis: an impregnated wooden tower and an untreated one. Besides wood, the tower i

Urbanisation has contributed to the acceleration of production and consumption causing strain on the urban environment. Sustainable urban planning aims to manage the transition within cities to reach more sustainable practices, however, there are competing interests in how this should be done from a ‘compact city’ and ‘green city’ perspective. This study aims to assess the potential for an urban

De flesta föräldrar i Sverige går till barnhälsovården med sitt barn från att det är nyfött. Det gör att sjuksköterskan i barnhälsovården har stor möjlighet att stötta föräldrar i deras tilltro till sin förmåga som förälder vilket kan hjälpa föräldern att skapa goda förutsättningar för sina barn. Syftet var att beskriva föräldrars upplevelse av stöd från sjuksköterskan i barnhälsovården. Studie

Materialitet kan användas på hotell till att påverka den sociala interaktionen och för att skapa en upplevelse som väcker känslor. Samtidigt lyfter det fram en problematik i hur materialitet kan förmedla ett potentiellt värde som attraherar gäster och underlättar värdeskapandeprocessen, men som även har potential att överträffa förväntningar. Uppsatsens syfte är att ur ett företagsperspektiv med

Analysing eye movements recorded with mobile eye-tracking devices is difficult since the eye-tracking signals are severely affected by simultaneous head and body movements. The automatic analysis methods developed for static eye-tracking systems do not take this into account and are therefore not suitable for application to data which also contains head and body movements. As a result, data record

The paper looks at books that have been adapted from games to see how a relationship between these two medias have changed how the book are portrayed on their cover. To investigate how the covers have been portrayed it looks at several books that have been adapted from a game. The covers are then analyzed based on, how much they limit themselves to their targeted audience, how strong position they
