In the last decades, the role of warehouses has increased due to wider product range, emphasis on shorter lead times and constant changes in customer demand. The increased demands forces companies to improve their warehousing operations for better service level and decreased costs.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker huruvida kapitalstockens storlek har någon påverkan på ett lands arbetslöshetsnivå och om det med hjälp av kapitalstockens inverkan går att förklara den låga arbetslöshet som rådde under efterkrigstiden, ”den gyllene eran” som vi definierar som 1950-1975. Den gyllene eran ställs mot perioden 1870-2008 för att se om det finns några skillnader. Studien inkluderar de fyra
Syftet med föreliggande litteraturstudie var att beskriva upplevelsen av manliga sjuksköterskors yrkesroll. Litteraturstudien utfördes med en induktiv ansats där forskning och litteratur på området sammanställdes. En sökning av relevanta studier gjordes i fyra olika databaser och resulterade i tio studier som valdes till resultatet. Resultatet sammanställdes genom en integrerad analys där tre huvu
Healthcare is under pressure and a development towards a more integrated and efficient healthcare requires better communication and collaboration across boundaries. This thesis is about facilitation of change process in the healthcare context with learnings from an authentic project, carried out with the clinic for reconstructive plastic surgery at the Karolinska University Hospital. The methodolo
Inom vården har man haft problem med att anpassa sig till de tekniska framstegen som tagits. Möjligheten att komma ikapp denna utveckling och effektivisera de befintliga IT-verktygen finns fortfarande, men då måste man förstå hur bristerna och begränsningarna uttrycker sig. Kliniska beslutstödssystem, CDSS är verktyg som används dagligen inom vården för att stötta och hjälpa användare att ta mer i
This thesis focuses on how environmental information concerning food issues is situated and communicated on Swedish environmental blogs. Social media as a form of communication is a current society phenomenon and the Internet is a dominating source of information. A total of 11 Swedish environmental blogs were studied. Five of them function as main objects of information and the six remaining func
This paper’s purpose is to investigate the discourse in the Swedish media about sexism in the gaming world. A social issue that is highlighted is the constitution of gender in relation to online games. The goal is to gain knowledge about how women are represented in news articles. Producers of news articles seem to take gender constructions for granted. Through Norman Fairclough critical discourse
Engaging with stakeholders became more important for companies and brands throughout the years, especially through the rise of Social Media. TV shows do not only need to survive and convince offline through their compelling narrative – they need to transform their passive spectators into active participants in order to increase their reach, their economic success and to strengthen their fanbase.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a membrane protein group of central importance in the immune system. It is divided into two main classes, class I and class II. The MHCs are highly polymorphic which is believed to be indication of trans-species polymorphism (TSP). There is TSP when an allele is maintained in two species through a speciation event. The songbirds that I study here belon
The price volatility is an important property to monitor in financial trading. A volatile period implies threats of large losses, but at the same time opportunities of higher gains. This makes accurate volatility prediction models an important part of an algorithmic trading system. This thesis work investigates the extreme value dependence between the Foreign Exchange rate volatility and the rate

Antalet människor i världen med tillgång till elektroniska produkter som datorer och smartphones ökar kraftigt. I takt med att antalet produkter går upp så ökar även deras prestanda. Men är det bara att fortsätta bygga mindre och bättre komponenter för alltid? I den här artikeln beskrivs ett bekymmer som uppstår då elektroniska komponenter blir mindre, och några resultat från ett arbete som utförtWith the constant downscaling of transistors, silicon as a production material is falling out of favour because of increasing power consumption when the size of devices becomes smaller. Compound materials from group III-V in the table of elements are promising candidates to replace silicon. The aim of this work was to study current-voltage characteristics of a MOS capacitor made of the III-V compo

This master essay examines whether regional political institutions affect the imperative of firms to invest in innovation. It uses multilevel modelling techniques to explicitly test the spatial dimension of regional institutional embeddedness of the innovation process using micro-data on manufacturing firms in Sweden. The main argument of this essay is that firms are embedded in a region and that
This paper investigates the impact of political risk on financial performance. In order to assess the quantitative measure of political risk principal component analysis is performed referring to six indicators, which measure different areas of political environment. We employ several macroeconomic factors as control variables to strenghten the explanatory power of estimation. Panel data methods a
Studiens syfte var att undersöka konstituering av mening kring äldredepression bland självidentifierade äldre och primärvårdsläkare i Sverige. Ett ytterligare syfte var att urskilja möjliga skärningspunkter mellan deras livsvärldar. Frågeställningen var följande: Hur konstituerar primärvårdsläkare och självidentifierade äldre mening kring begreppet äldredepression? Hur förhåller sig dessa perspektThe aim for this study was to examine the meaning constitution of elderly depression among self-identified elders and general practitioners (GP’s) in Sweden. An additional aim was to investigate possible juxtapositions of their life-worlds. The research question was stated as follows: How is meaning constituted around the concept of elderly depression among self-identified elders and GP’s in prima

Avoiding consumer skepticism of corporate social responsibility programs has become an important factor in CSR communication. Literature points towards a need for a more consumer-focused, symmetrical approach to CSR communication, especially in the case of cause-related marketing. The Estee Lauder 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign uses a co-creational approach to CSR, centered on user-generate
