Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a broad area of management study and practice that has become increasingly important for business practitioners and academics alike. While the majority of authors who have written on the subject, including ourselves, are proponents of CSR in general, there is an emerging viewpoint that it is simply not enough for corporations to singlehandedly address CSR t
Skolan har ingen lång tradition av att arbeta laborativt i matematik och dynamisk programvara är ett sätt att fylla denna brist. Dynamisk programvara låter eleven gå i dialog, utmanar, skapar nyfikenhet, åskådliggör begrepp och underlättar inlärningen. Det krävs emellertid att lärare är villiga att sätta sig in i de relativt nya möjligheterna eftersom datoranvändning i matematik- och fysikundervisReportedly in Swedish schools, there is no long tradition of investigative and laboratory work in the mathematics subject. Dynamic software is a term which encapsulates the purpose of software as a pedagogical instrument in teaching. There is great potential in this but also a need for teachers to engage and apply themselves to the new possibilities. Computer software in class does not automatical
Bakgrund: Personer med utvecklingsstörning har komplexa vårdbehov, ofta i samband med kommunikationssvårigheter.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate which firm-specific variables can explain the cross-section of expected stock returns in the German market. The tested explanatory variables are market beta, firm size, the book-to-market ratio, the earnings-to-price ratio, leverage, the dividend yield, the cash flow-to-price ratio and sales growth. Furthermore, the thesis also examines the con
MALIN WIDENBERG HUR MÅNGA GÅNGER ANVÄNDER DU DIN BÄRKASSE? Varje år använder vi i Sverige ungefär 120 bärkassar per person, men hur många gånger måste man använda de olika kassarna för att vara snäll mot miljön? Visste du tillexempel att du bör använda din bomullskasse minst 173 gånger för att den ska vara lika snäll som en fruktpåse? Men är verkligen fruktpåsarna så snälla, hur påverkar de och There are several different options of carrier bags available at supermarket retailers with and estimated consumption of 98.6 billion plastic carrier bags in the EU alone. The aim of this paper is to seek insight to the environmental impacts of the different carrier bags and put this in relation to GWP values. The paper also aims to investigate the consumer selection of carrier bags in Swedish Sup
Prästgårdsängens förskola i Kungsbacka byggdes år 2008 med passivhusteknik. På förskolan går barn i åldrarna mellan 1-3 och 4-5 år, där många aktiviteter bedrivs både utomhus och inomhus. Detta leder till att det blir mycket rörelse mellan inne och utemiljö. Förskolan består av ett plan och stor del av elförsörjningen kommer från de solceller som finns installerade på 220 m2 av skolans tak. Då intPrästgårdsängens preschool in Kungsbacka was built in 2008 with passive house technology. At the school there are children going aged between 1-3 and 4-5 years, where many activities are conducted both indoors and outdoors. This leads to that there will be a lot of movement between indoor and outdoor environment. The preschool consists of a flat and much of the electricity supply comes from the so
In 2008 occurred the beginning of what was to become the most comprehensive, global, financial crisis in modern time. The recent crisis has been substantial for most developed countries, where almost all Eurozone members have showed negative economic results. Our goal is to determine, with as much accuracy as possible, if austerity contributes to the Eurozone-countries’ recovery process from the E
The main purpose of this thesis is to propose a method for using a change point detection algorithm to forecast short term limit order book price changes. The idea is to test whether a significant change of the shape of the limit order book contains any information about impending changes to mid market. Using a data set consisting of all the changes of the limit order book throughout the trading d
Some costumes from the world of cinema have become part of a cultural reference system often used within both the fashion industry and Hollywood. They are iconic pieces of fashion that stay in style long after the closing credits. Bakom kulisserna takes a closer look at what is needed to become acknowledged as an iconic costume. Through a qualitative content analysis and a semiotic and sociologica
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze different factors which have an impact on the level of financial constraints that companies face. The main factors that are discussed in this paper are the size of firms and the level of country development, measured by institutional development, development of financial markets and economic development. Whited-Wu index is used to calculate the level of
Miljöcertifieringar för byggnader, anläggningar och stadsdelar tillämpas i dag i allt större utsträckning för att säkerställa hållbar utveckling i den byggda miljön. Deras främsta syfte är att främja sociala och ekonomiska fördelar samt uppnå minimal negativ påverkan på människa och miljö. Kraven för olika certifieringsnivåer är detaljerade och uppbyggda på tydliga betygssystem. Samtidigt har begrThis study aims to, through a comparative analysis, examine if there are any similarities between environmental certification schemes and the nature-inspired design tool Cradle to Cradle in environmental performance when building residential houses. The analysis shows that two of the four examined certification systems, LEED and BREEAM, have several traits that are similar to C2C. However, these s
Food wastage during distribution, retail sale, and consumption is a concern of great worry. It not only affects the economics of businesses but also puts natural resources under severe stress. For example, in the UK some 800,000 tons of bakery products are purchased each year and never eaten, mainly due to short life span of the product. Earlier investigations at Lantmännen Unibake, UK have identi
The formation of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils and accumulation in inclusion bodies termed Lewy bodies are considered the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. It has been found that the formation of fibrils is highly pH dependent, which is thought to be linked to the highly negatively charged C-terminal tail of α-synuclein. The aim of this project was to study if the pKa values of the C-terminal tail in
This study investigates influences of certain fund characteristics as independent variables on a funds active share, as introduced by Cremers & Petajisto in 2009. Furthermore, along with active share, the potential use of these variables to predict future mutual fund returns is tested. The study is conducted for the recovering German equity mutual fund market between 2010 and 2015 as a recover

The purpose of this research is to achieve a deeper insight of the emulsifying, suspending, and gelling properties of the meat proteins and see the possibility to use them to produce reduced-salt emulsion-type sausages. Sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were extracted from pork (longissimus dorsi, LD). Firstly, their aggregation behaviors in different salt concentrations – namely, 0.15 M, 0.4
