Denna uppsats syftar till att tillhandahålla förståelse kring de bestämmande faktorer som påverkar användandet av factoring och de upplevda attityderna gentemot factoring. Uppsatsen kommer även tillhandahålla en samtida syn på factoring som finansieringsmetod och försöka förklara användandet med hjälp av finansiella teorier. Uppsatsen använder en kvantitativ forskningsstrategi med en kombination aThis thesis aims to provide an understanding regarding the determinants of the usage of factoring and the perceived attitudes towards factoring. It will also provide a contemporary view of factoring as a financing solution and try to explain the usage in the context of financial theories.

Constructing dam is a possible solution for remitting the scarcity of irrigation water resource in Bortala, Northwest China. Considering the complexity of dam site selection, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was chosen in combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) as the method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making on selecting dam site. Precipitation, slope, geological layer, soil type, land

The app-industry today is ruled by two giants, namely Android and iOS. For companies and developers, it is essential to deliver their product to the majority of users, thus adapting to both platforms. The platforms involve their own way of developing applications and only barely resembles each other. A problem that the industry faces resides here, having to hire staff with knowledge in either Andr

Existing literature on investor motivations when financing social ventures is limited, despite a growing rise in the establishment of social enterprises and a growing interest in social entrepreneurship in Europe. The research presented in this paper, alongside the analysis that complements it, aim to provide new insights into the field of social venture financing, or what many business angels now

Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka hur kunskapsföretag använder sig av olika ekonomistyrningsformer för att nå sina mål. Metod: Studien har sin utgångspunkt i en deduktiv ansats och kvalitativ metod, där befintlig teori testats mot ny empiri och utmynnar i en kvalitativ analys. Teoretisk referensram: Den inledande delen behandlar mål som ett led i ekonomistyrningen. Därefter presenteras den teori s

An increase in demand for fresh vegetables resulted in an increased production of minimally processed, ready-to-eat salad in Sweden. That also brought new food safety challenges that are yet to be addressed. To assess whether ready-to-eat leafy green vegetables present a threat in terms food borne outbreaks, aerobic bacteria, as well as bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family were rec

Quantum many-body systems can be studied theoretically from first principles using microscopic models, but the computational cost of numerically exact calculations increases exponentially with the number of particles and the complexity of the interaction, limiting the systems that can be analysed. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) methods, heavil
