Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how employees understand and support their employer’s internal CSR agenda and communication. In order to do this, we answer three research questions: How can employees be segmented into different groups regarding CSR support? How do employees who are supportive of a company’s CSR agenda differ from less supportive employees? How can an understan
Håll koll på din ridning Ryttare har visat stort intresse för en produkt som kan urskilja hur mycket de verkligen motionerat sin häst. I detta arbete har det därför utvecklats en algoritm som kan användas för att urskilja hästens gångarter. Detta har gjorts genom att använda sensorer i en vanlig smartphone. Ridning är en populär sport som utövas av många världen över. Ryttare lägger ner otaliga Horseback riding is a sport enjoyed by people around the world. Many riders are interested in knowing exactly how much they have exercised their horse and how much time that have been spent in different gaits. The goal of this master's thesis was to develop an equine gait recognition algorithm. Triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope signals were collected during different riding sessions by usin
Det är uppskattat att det finns fler stjärnor i universum än vad det finns sandkorn på jordens stränder och öknar tillsammans. Precis som stränder och öknar formar vår värld formar stjärnor vår galax och det bortom denna, och precis som att ett sandkorn är för lite för att berätta något viktigt om en strand, ger en stjärna inte mycket information till astronomer. Men många stjärnor i ett till varaStudying the formation and evolution of galaxies is a fundamental problem in astronomy that warrants repeated investigation by astronomers. How do spiral galaxies like our own come to have its distinct spiral arms? How do stars and their properties change over time and will they continue to evolve in the same manner? To try and attempt to answer such questions we need to look to our own Galaxy the
En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with
Glaciers are of extreme importance since they hold climatic data going back 2,000 years. Glaciers can provide important services such as ecosystem services, habitats, water runoff, and hydro-energy. They also affect the Earth’s processes and many feedback mechanisms. Glaciers all over the world are under the threat of climate change which may eventually lead to the disappearance of many of these i
Problem: Tetra Paks strategi är att expandera World Class Manufacturing(WCM) från produktionen till att täcka installationsprojekt för att reducera dess ledtid. Det finns dock en stor utmaning för att utföra detta, då flera avdelningar är inblandade samt osäkerheterna kring att installationerna utförs ute hos kund. Frågan är därför; hur kan Tetra Pak använda Early Management metodologi från WCM föProblem: Tetra Pak’s strategy is to expand World Class Manufacturing (WCM) from manufacturing to installation projects in order to reduce the installation lead time. There is a challenge in the WCM implementation since it requires a cross-functional approach and uncertainties with the installation projects being at customer’s site. The question at hand is; how can Tetra Pak use the Early Managemen
The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc
Under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen omkristalliserade stora delar av sydvästra Sverige och bildade metamorfa migmatitiska gnejser. I Idefjordenterrängen, väster om Mylonitzonen, har migmatiterna inte daterats och då kunskapen om de metamorfa processerna i området brister kan migmatiterna ge en bättre bild av när metamorfosen skedde. En migmatitisk gnejs från Delsjöområdet i östra Göteborg har datDuring the Sveconorwegian orogenesis, parts of southwestern Sweden was recrystallized and formed metamorphic migmatites. In the Idefjorden terrane, west of the Mylonite zone, the migmatites have not been dated and since knowledge of the metamorphic processes in the area is lacking, the migmatites can provide better constraints of when metamorphosis occurred. A migmatitic gneiss from the Delsjö are
Purpose – With an increasing attention given to emotions in decision making processes, this paper investigates how and to what extent they can influence managerial strategic decisions under uncertainty. Therefore, this study explores the existing knowledge and reveals underlying mechanisms. The final aim is to provide valuable insights for the top managerial level (i.e. strategy makers) while at t
Land degradation has a negative effect on agriculture, food security and ecosystems. It severely impacts the livelihood of the many people directly depending on agriculture around the world. Drylands are some of the most vulnerable areas around the world. Population increase and climate change add strain on the food production of these areas, making them especially vulnerable to land degradation.
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to research the nature of accounting for provisions, by examining how disclosed information of provisions in annual reports corresponds with the concepts of transparency, comparability and readability of financial information. With the empirical findings analysed, we then aim to hold a further discussion on how the provision disclosures in the annual reports
Rättsfallet People of the state of California v. Orenthal James Simpson, U.S. 1995 har beskrivits som århundradets rättegång. Trots övertygande teknisk bevisning friades den tilltalade. Hur kan man förstå utfallet? Detta arbete försöker ge ökad förståelse till den friande domen med en religiös förklaringsmodell. Arbetet prövar relevansen av Durkheims studie av urspungsreligioner och dess trossatseThe case People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson 1995 has been described as the trial of the century. The defendant, a legendary American football icon, was acquitted despite overwhelming technical evidence. How could this be? This paper tries to give a better understanding of the acquittal by way of religion as a model of explanation. The work tries the relevance of Durkheim’s
Hygiensäkerhet är en av de viktigaste punkterna inom livsmedelsbranschen. Konsumentens hälsa är inte bara beroende av en hygienisk produktionslokal, utan det vilar även i händerna på produktionspersonalen. Den personliga hygienen är det allra viktigaste eftersom deras händer är det sista som är i kontakt med livsmedlet innan den går ut till konsumenterna. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att s

The produced heat in hardening concrete is of special importance to consider as the temperature rise within a large concrete structure can become such high that the structure may experience thermal cracking. With use of a simulation program that is based on the finite element method, the temperatures within the structure can be estimated to predict possible crack development. The heat produced by

Bridges for pedestrians and bicycles are getting more common. Often, they are seen spanning motorways and railways, to separate walking and cycling traffic from fast going heavy traffic. It is common that the chosen bridge type for this purpose is a truss bridge consisting of rolled steel profiles. When more and more bridges are being planned, the planning process also needs to be rationalised. Th
