This paper explores the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the video game industry, taking video game studios as the main subjects. The aim was to understand the perceived importance of implementing CSR initiatives within businesses and to ascertain the current state of the industry in regard to the subject. A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen

Domestic violence is a cruel and inhumane act of aggression that is inflicted on a victim by someone in their close domestic circle. This includes partners, ex-partners, immediate family members, other relatives and family friends. Violence within the home is the most common form of interpersonal violence for women. The aim of domestic violence programs and shelters is to empower the survivors an

The transport sector is responsible for a third of Swedens’ total GHG emissions, where the private cars are a large part of this. Sweden is committed to reducing the emissions from the transport sector with 70 % until the year 2030. Shifting the vehicle fleet to electrical will be one important factor in achieving the goal, but such technical innovation will not be enough. To reach a more sust

Quark is a dairy product that has existed for a long time. However, it has grown in popularity during the last years due to the fact that it is often portrayed as a healthy alternative in the dairy section. There are no regulations connected to the manufacturing process of quark. At a specific dairy company, there is a desire to understand and optimise the quark production to obtain a consistently

Geographical Information Systems are a powerful tool for the processing of geographical data and can be used to implement predictive modelling for the purpose of archaeological research. The study presented here proposes a predictive model based on multi-criteria evaluation, and aims at analysing the parameters of known Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, in southwest France.

Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkas konsumenters uppfattning om ett varumärke av företags ageranden i krigförande länder? Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa förståelse för hur konsumenters uppfattning om varumärken påverkas av företags agerande i krigförande länder. Teoretiska perspektiv: De huvudsakliga teorierna handlar om hur varumärkens upplevda Business Ethics och upplevda CSR påverkar Research question: How do different actions from corporations, in countries waging war, affect consumers' perception of the corporation? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how consumers´ perception of brands are affected by corporations' actions in countries waging war. Theoretical perspectives: The main theories cover how brands´ perceived Business Ethics and perceived CSR

This thesis analyzes the link between materiality and brand discursiveness. This study examines how material culture contributes to brand narratives' meaning and symbolic construction. For this purpose, the creation of commodities with metal obtained from molten guns is analyzed through a discursive analysis and anthropological theory. This research describes how the brands analyzed deploy dis

Covid-19 pandemin har haft stor inverkan på alla delar av världen och har bidragit till att människor har varit tvungna att ta livsavgörande beslut. Det finns även individer som själva har valt att gå en annan väg i livet och tagit ett livsförändrande beslut. Vetenskapliga artiklar har påvisat resultat av att människor har själva valt att säga upp sig men även ökat ansökningar för organisationer u

Publications have recently drawn attention to archaeology’s historically predominant focus on prestige items and the elite, highlighting the need for a greater focus on society’s lower classes. A few studies have discussed how, or even whether poverty can be addressed in historical archaeology. However, the phenomenon has not seen the same attention in Viking Age studies, despite the great deal of

Data inom hälsovården kan användas för att hitta mönster för att exempelvis ta fram hur många som är sjuka, eller hur många som har fått ta blodprov. Det används ofta statistiska modeller för att göra undersökningar, men i detta projektet används artificiell intelligens, och mer specifikt neuronnät. Då tar vi hjälp av artificiell intelligens för att hitta mönster inom datakällor som kan vara svåraOutlier detection in high-dimensional data is a complex task, useful in many fields. One major application is in healthcare, where the high-dimensional healthcare registers can be used to detect patterns related to the medical behaviour and state of the population. In this project, neural network based autoencoders were used to study the Covid-19 vaccination campaign, where it was trained on healt

Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

Syftet med denna rapport är att utvärdera brandskyddet under Dansen med personsäkerhet som fokus. Eventuella åtgärder togs fram vid behov utifrån resultat från beräkningar och simuleringar. Dansen är en del av Lundakarnevalen som anordnas i Lund vart fjärde år. Dansen är en nattklubbsverksamhet som styrs av studenter och arrangeras i AF-borgen. Det beräknas vara ungefär 2550 personer i AF-borgen The purpose behind this report is to evaluate the fire safety measures already installed in place during Dansen with personal safety as the main focus. Also providing additional suggestions for improvements if needed as a result from hand calculations and simulations. Dansen is one of the main events of Lundakarnevalen, a once every four year student led event and planned festival in Lund. Dansen

Med ökande koncentrationer av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären kan energieffektiva tekniker för koldioxidinfångning (CCS) bli viktiga för att växthusgasutsläppen ska minska. Rapportens syfte har varit att experimentellt bestämma och utvärdera fyra egenskaper hos lösningar av vatten, dimetylsulfoxid (DMSO) och aminoalkoholen 2-amino-2-metyl-1-propanol (AMP) som ska användas i en pilotanläggning. Vid inWith increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt cryst

The purpose of this paper is to investigate one of the seven characteristics proposed by Northcott and Alkaraan (2007): the characteristic of non-programmability. This paper responds to the call for a nuanced understanding of how companies are programming strategic investment decisions (Alkaraan, 2016, p. 520). The purpose is fulfilled by conducting multiple case studies. The data collection metho

Cutting carbon emission from road transports worldwide is a key component in limiting global warming, and electrification is one of the most likely automotive technologies to achieve this goal. Therefore, Elonroad is developing an electric road system that will allow its users to charge while driving. This allows greater range and a reduction in battery sizes. This master thesis is therefore aimin

Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda hur man kan implementera och optimera användningen av en inspektionsrobot, på en byggarbetsplats. Detta examensarbete grundar sig i en fallstudie, där användningen av en inspektionsrobot vid skyddsronder undersöks. Fallstudien bygger på material som samlats in från roboten, intervjuer och observationer. Utöver fallstudien har det även genomförts en litteratur

In this thesis we will examine how to solve linear systems using the s-step biconjugate gradient algorithm, which is an iterative method based on the Krylov subspaces. It is useful especially when we have a large and sparse matrix. We begin looking over the biconjugate gradient algorithm (BiCG), in order to understand how to construct the s-step BiCG algorithm. We will go through some numerical ex
