Detta arbete undersöker och utvärderar nya metoder för att minska minnesanvänd- ningen i kompilatorer genererade med metakompilatorsystemet JastAdd.JastAdd is a tool for generating programming language compilers. These compilers generally use more memory than other compilers for the same language. In this thesis we have categorized the memory use of two JastAdd-generated compilers, to identify opportunities to reduce their memory use. We present several optimizations for reducing the memory use of these compilers. These include changes to the

Denna studie syftar till att identifiera samt behandla de utmaningar den svenska sjukvården ställs inför när informationssystem som man tidigare driftat i traditionella serverhallar på eller i närheten av sjukhus i allt större utsträckning ersätts eller migreras till molnbaserade lösningar. Genom en kvalitativ metodik har vi genom semistrukturerade intervjuer samlat in data från respondenter som a

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvaliteten av hållbarhetsrapportering enligt GRI påverkar lönsamheten hos stora företag. Legitimitetsteorin och intressentteorin har använts för att förklara varför företag upprättar hållbarhetsrapportering. Resultaten av studien uppvisar inga signifikanta samband mellan kvaliteten på hållbarhetsrapportering och lönsamhet.The purpose of this paper is to study how the quality of sustainability reporting affects profitability in large Swedish companies. Legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory have been used to explain why companies reports on sustainability. The results of the study show no significant connection between the quality of the sustainability report and profitability.

Cloud computing is a new technology which has changed business and society drastically, making it possible to create products and communication aids that were previously unheard of. Without it, services such as Facebook or Google Apps would probably not exist as we know them today. This thesis explores how cloud computing affects the value propositions of e-businesses, using data collected from mu

Under de senaste decennierna har det skett en expansion av butikskedjor i Sverige. Mindre butikskedjor har börjat etablera sig på marknaden och expanderat till fler städer, dock har de fått konkurrens från större butikskedjor som har etablerat sig i Sverige på senare tid. Alla butikskedjor erbjuder en uppsjö av utbud med kampanjer och rabatter samt andra erbjudanden för att kunna locka konsumenter

High quality III-V semiconductors on silicon substrate can make for significant progress in gate electrostatics and optoelectronic devices. Indium antimonide with its inviting properties can play a key role to further facilitate devise integration. But the question is, is it possible to obtain high quality III-V semiconductors on low cost silicon and still be able to manufacture it at large scale?

En undersökning av synen på barn och barndom i filmbearbetningar av Lewis Carrolls böcker om Alice. Utvecklingen av gestaltningarna av protagonisten och antagonisten i Aliceberättelserna jämförs med utvecklingen av synen på barn och barndom sedan "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" publicerades 1865. Studien syftar till att bredda och fördjupa kunskapsområdet kring utvecklingen av syn

Almost every organizations works with projects, since a project is a onetime task with a clear beginning and an end and have never be done before. It is hard to say that a specific project method will suit all projects. It is up to the project manager who leads the project to choose a project method and use this as a tool to get the project to be successful together with a project team. Some resea

This study revives a heavily debated relationship between government debt accumulation and economic growth. Although indebtedness levels stay high, current economic growth forecasts seem optimistic not only in the euro area but in other advanced countries, as well. 24 advanced OECD economies are investigated to understand if financial outcomes are detrimental to the real economic variables in the

This paper investigates whether immigration promotes bilateral trade within the European Union between 2008 and 2015. Results from an augmented gravity model indicate a positive linkage between bilateral migration and trade, results which are in line with prior findings in the field research. Notably, the pro-trade effect is slightly larger for the import sector and immigrants seem to facilitate t

China experienced a growing economy with a huge market and business potential and became the second biggest country in terms of GDP. However, because of the limitation of coherent business laws and government supervision, entering the Chinese market became a severe and complicated problem for different kinds of firms. Empirical papers show that networks, called guanxi in China make a primary contr

Software security has become an increasingly hot topic of debate during the last few years of cyberattacks, especially now that we are entering the era of Internet of Things. How does the developer of a product decide which software to include from a security perspective and is it possible to create a tool for software comparison that the developer could use for this purpose? The aim of this thesi

This bachelor thesis “Time to take back what was once ours and give the finger to the middle class’ – A netnographic study focusing on the Instagram account Klasshat and their relationship to the upswing of the second hand-phenomenon” studies the popularization of second hand clothes consumption through a class and fashion perspective. Even though the history of the second hand market is closely c

This paper examines the ambiguous property rights in China and if they affect the private sector development. The indicators for property rights include both broader property rights and intellectual property rights. The property rights theory offers a perspective as a fundamental component of a market economy to enable a growth of private enterprises. The incentives and constraints offered by the

A lookup table (LUT)-based inverse model was designed and used to analyze the property of in vivo skin tissues. The investigated wavelength range was from 400 nm to 1300 nm. The LUT was created based on experimental measurements of 35 tissue-simulating phantoms. This LUT was then used to fit measured values of 3 types of pig skin in an inverse model. The results show that this LUT-based inverse mo

The purpose of this study is to investigate ALM institutions’ strategies for digitizing and making historical photographs available in the digital domain from a user perspective. Historical photographs are an important part of our cultural heritage but photographs are fragile and can offer major challenges to the institutions that shall preserve, organize and make them available. For that reason,

Severe human rights abuses have been associated with globalisation. This paper explores the link between the aforementioned with a focus on some of the most severe impacts on workers within global supply chains – predominantly focusing on child labour and forced labour – and how trade agreements could help to lessen the blow, while at the same time avoiding protectionism. There will be a focus on

Despite the millenary practice of urban agriculture (UA) in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) cities, research conducted on the topic is much more recent and still little is known on the impact UA has on the engaged households in terms of food security, nutrition and health. The overall picture that emerges from the literature is one of stark contrasts; some advocate UA as a tool of empowerment, capable t

The game industry has continued to grow for decades and the social interaction trend has been growing for years in gaming. In retail, the e-commerce companies have been extending the social interaction trend to the e-commerce platforms and turning the e-commerce into social commerce. Even though the social commerce and gaming have aroused the interest of the researchers earlier, social commerce in
