Showrooming is an increasingly popular form of research shopping whereby customers evaluate and gather information at physical stores but end up purchasing the product online. Showrooming is a potential thread for physical retailers. The increasing product commoditization and increased price transparency due to an increase in online retailing, can result in physical retail stores bearing the costs

Central Africa has the lowest food production per capita, slow yield development and the fastest growing population in the world. This study aimed to develop a model, which estimates the grain surplus or deficit in Cameroon for 2015-2030. Grains form the main diet in Cameroon and the modelled grains in this project are sorghum, millet, rice and maize. Additionally, in the case of a deficit, the yi

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol

Kandidatarbetet rör sig i skärningspunkten mellan det pedagogiska och det teologiska forskningsfältet och knyter an till den forskning om Svenska kyrkans gudstjänst som lagts fram vid Svenska kyrkans forskningsenhet under de senaste tiotal åren. Arbetet har handlat om pedagogik i praktik (undervisning) och liturgik. Jag har sökt föra samman dessa båda genom att utforska hur Svenska kyrkans liturgi

This study explores the experiences of youth’s participation in a youth-led organisation in Kibera, Kenya. The aim of the study is to interpret and understand the meaning youth attribute to their participation in such an organisation. The study is based on an inductive approach, where data is categorized in themes and explored through concepts like identity, and citizenship. The data was collected

I ett samhälle där bilismen ökar blir en mer hållbar bilism allt viktigare. Sverige har satt upp som mål att ha en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta till 2030 och en helt fossilfri fordonsflotta till 2050. För att kunna uppnå detta spelar elbilen en viktig roll. Genom intervjuer med olika aktörer på den svenska marknaden visas i detta examensarbete att en stor tilltro sätts till elbilen, vid sidan av In a society with growing car mobility, sustainable motorism becomes increasingly important. Sweden has set targets of having a fossil fuel independent vehicle fleet by 2030 and a fossil free vehicle fleet by 2050.In order to reach these targets the electric car plays an important role. Through interviews with different actors on the Swedish market, this thesis shows that much confidence is put in

Hur akviferlagers miljöpåverkan beskrivs i ansökningar och hur det påverkar tillstånd Akviferlager är den större och effektivare kusinen till jord- och bergvärme. Systemet använder sig av grundvattnet och ger både värme och kyla. Miljöriskerna är större än för enskilda villors jord- och bergvärme. Men hur väl utvärderas detta? Det finns ett hundratal akviferlager i Sverige som betjänar allt fråThe utilization of groundwater for the use of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is of growing interest in the world. The technique is seen as an environmentally friendly and cheap solution for the purpose of heating and cooling large buildings. Research has shown that an ATES will have physical, chemical and biological consequences for the environment. This study assesses how the consequences

Vill man kunna se materialens minsta strukturer gäller det att man har de rätta verktygen. Röntgenstrålning är ett utmärkt verktyg för att urskilja små detaljer inuti material. Strålningen tränger djupt in (vilket du kanske själv erfarit om du röntgats på sjukhuset) och de har en kort våglängd, en nödvändighet för att urskilja små detaljer. Detta arbete har undersökt hur olika material, särskilt nThe thesis aims to investigate the amount and distribution of heat in nano materials irradiated by highly focused X-ray beams, like those that will be produced by MAX IV. The beam used in the study had a flux of 10e11 photons per second and a diameter of 100 nm. The materials studied were a 2 µm long and 100 nm wide Indium phosphide (InP) nanowire on a Silicon nitride (Si3N4) substrate, a similar

Sammanfattning: Lärandet och kompetensutveckling är viktiga aspekter i arbetslivet, men det tycks finnas ett glapp mellan teori och praktik vad gäller upplevelsen utav lärande och kompetensutveckling. Denna studie exemplifierar hur lärande och kompetensutveckling kan ske i praktiken och överensstämma med teorin genom en pedagogisk ledare; Roberto Citterio som är chef på Pedagogisk Inspiration i Ma

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out if the current accounting rules in IFRS 3 which mandate annual tests for goodwill impairment in line with IAS 36 add any information value for users on the Swedish stock market. Methodology: The paper is based on a quantitative research method with a deductive approach to interpret investigated samples. By using an event study, we have analyzed the e

Business intelligence (BI) is all about making decisions. The purpose of many business intelligence tools is to improve these decisions by making data easy to visualize and understand. Qlik Sense is a BI tool developed by the company Qlik which allows users to visualize and explore data by filtering it (called making selections). At the time of this project Qlik Sense did not support visualization

Few studies have been made on challenges and enablers with implementing Stage-Gate processes in mature organizations. The aim with this thesis, is therefore to fill the gaps in knowledge within implementation of Stage-Gate processes and additionally describe the general challenges and enablers with Stage-Gate processes for R&D and innovation projects. PaperCo, a mature international organizati

This report describes the development of a concept which aim was to improve one of Thule’s bike accessories known as the Thule Pack´n Pedal Tour Rack. The Tour Rack is a bicycle carrier rack which has a patented attachment system that virtually fits any type of bike. The Tour Rack can be used either as a front or rear rack and it includes rails for mounting panniers and baskets. Even though the To

Previous research has shown that L1 speakers use Swedish word accents to predict what linguistic material is to follow. This study investigated how L2 learners of Swedish process the word accent – suffix association. Low to intermediate level L2 learners trained this association for two weeks, using the Language Melody Game. Before and after training, participants took part in a pre- and post-test

Despite the importance of the UK in meat production in the EU and its increasing population, there is still a lack of rapid, accurate and inexpensive technique to determine an appropriate durability for meat products. As the population increases, the demand for safe and of satisfactory food by both consumers and government raises, so as the demand for a favourable tool to ensure the safety of food

Background and Objectives: This project explored the needs of art galleries and collectors for Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS), in order to fill an existing knowledge gap and help companies to analyse these needs. Bespoken difficulties in the field significantly challenge the development of DAMS and have thus also hampered the evolvement of high-quality systems for the art market. There se

There is a need for a quicker and more effective way of determining a roads side areas than today’s methods, which incorporates doing ocular surveying along an entire road. Instead there is an interest of using Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for examining the road, and only need to do a complementary ocular survey on smaller parts of the road. Grid2+ is a national elevation model developed in Swed
