Constant comparative method användes för at

Enligt Hirschman och Holbrook (1982) innebär hedonism njutning, och de hävdar att turister reser av hedonistiska skäl. Hotellverksamheter har blivit allt mer ifrågasatta ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv när hedonism blivit allt viktigare inom hospitalitybranschen. Hållbarhet har blivit en trend i dagens samhälle och allt fler individer är medvetna om vad deras handlingar kan ha för konsekvenser för kl

Interviews and focus groups have been held with users from Malmö a

Heat exchangers are important devices in many applications. Extensive work is done in optimization, but the overall designs are often one of the conventional varieties such as plate or shell-and-tube heat exchanger. These are constrained by their manufacturing, for example the use of construction material such as sheet metal and cylindrical pipes. The current progress in additive manufacturing has

En oskriven men samtidigt stark princip inom den svenska försäkringsrätten är produktfrihetsprincipen. I korthet föreskriver principen att det är försäkringsbolagets prerogativ att fritt få utforma sin produkt. Den här friheten följer dock inte helt oväntat med en rad begränsningar, i den här uppsatsen undersöks några av de framför allt försäkringsrättsliga lagregler som inverkar på den här frihetAn unwritten but yet strong tenet of Swedish insurance law has long been the principle of product freedom (Produktfrihetsprincipen). In essence this principle states that it is the prerogative of the insurance company to freely design their product. However, this freedom naturally has its legal limitations and this paper seeks to investigate some of the cornerstones of Swedish insurance law that r

The debate on the inclusion of women in peacebuilding has hit the scholarship field and received wide attention in the last years.

Hälso- och sjukvården i Skåne står inför en ohållbar kostnadsökningstakt som till stor del beror på att allt fler människor insjuknar i kroniska sjukdomar. Många av dagens kroniska sjukdomar kan kopplas till en ohälsosam livsstil. Primärprevention handlar om att förhindra att sjukdomar uppstår hos friska individer och via primärpreventiva insatser går det att motverka ohälsosamma levnadsvanor i en

Throughout history, there have been several theories conducted regarding the internationalisation process, perhaps the majority concerning the traditional company. However, this degree project focuses on the applicability of internationalisation theories in regards to cleantech start-ups with circular ideas, hence a fundamental shift from the traditional linear business model.

Genom att använda X-band väderradar-data och ett neuralt nätverk kan höga avloppsvattenflöden till Källby avloppsreningsverk i Lund förutspås upp till en timme in i framtiden, vilket ger värdefull tid att vidta säkerhetsåtgärder. Med ytterligare data kan prognostiden potentiellt förlängas med flera timmar.This study aimed to forecast combined sewer flow into a wastewater treatment plant in Lund, Sweden by using uncalibrated X-band radar data with a neural network. Neural networks have proved themselves useful in the field of forecasting as they can solve multiple kinds of problems and recognise patterns in the data (Alemu et al. 2018) as well as model complex real-world problems (Zhang 2012). In 20

En innovationsprocess ska ta en idé hela vägen från forskning till marknaden. Detta är dock en lång process i vilken många barriärer kan uppstå. För det här examensarbetet har en fältstudie gjorts på ett stort svenskt industriföretag, med syftet att undersöka deras materialinnovationsprocess. De har upplevt att de möter utmaningar när resultaten av en innovation ska överföras från Forskning och UAn innovation process should take an idea all the way from research to the market. However, this is a long process in which many barriers can appear. For this thesis, a case study has been conducted, at a large Swedish industrial manufacturing company, with the purpose to examine their material innovation process. They have experienced challenges when transferring the results of the innovation fr

This study has its starting point in a public debate about disruptive behaviors at public libraries in Sweden. In 2019 a legal bill was proposed, which would make it possible to deny persons who disturb the order at libraries, access to libraries. Representatives from library organizations criticized the proposed bill, stating it is contrary to the current Swedish Library Act. The main purpose wit

We also analyze how narrowing these gender gaps can contribute to reduce poverty levels in Mexico. Our results rejected the existence of a gender gap between formal and informal occupations in Mexico. This represents new evidence for the lite
