This paper explores how marketing is conducted in for-profit social ventures. Knowledge regarding the for-profit social context is considered rather limited given that it has been largely marginalized by being associated either to the fully for-profit or solely non-profit extremes. In that respect, much of the existing literature has not to acknowledge the unique challenges that a dual mission, su

The electric vehicle public charging network has been suggested as a major challenge hampering the further adoption of electric vehicles. Little research have applied a user perspective when investigating the charging network, and there is a knowledge gap concerning what affects the charging network experience of electric vehicle drivers. The area of research was limited to include electric vehicl

Risk för föroreningsspridning vid framtida översvämningar Mellan åren 1995 och 2015 registrerades över 3000 översvämningskatastrofer världen över. Detta gör översvämningar till den överlägset vanligaste förekommande naturolyckan. På grund av pågående klimatförändringar och den globala uppvärmningen förväntas antalet översvämningar bli ännu fler i framtiden. Detta beror dels på att framtida skyfaAccording to IPCC:s latest report a rise in extreme weather situations is expected as a result of global warming. Climate changes are causing more intense precipitation and rising sea levels. Because of this, flood events are expected to increase. Studies show that flood events cause increased transport of contaminants due to flooding of contaminated sites. This can cause harm on both humans and t

Nya Zeeland – landet som ligger mitt på två kolliderande tektonikplattor. Ett land som präglas av jordbävningar och vulkanutbrott. Utanför Auckland i norra Nya Zeeland ligger den mytomspunna ön Rangitoto, som är en vulkan som tros ha uppstått från en s.k. hotspot, en plym av magma från djupt i manteln. Rangitoto har en eruptionshistoria på omkring 1000 år, och hade sitt senaste utbrott för bara 55The volcano Rangitoto belongs to the Auckland volcanic field and is situated north east of Auckland city, New Zealand. The volcanos of the Auckland volcanic field have previously thought to be of monogenetic origin, but recent studies indicate that Rangitoto has a long history of eruptions, which would suggest that the volcanic system may have entered a new phase. The last eruption is dated to 500

In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv

Optisk stimulerad luminiscens-analys (OSL-analys) är en metod som används för att datera bl.a. sediment från senkvartär tid. Det är av intresse för att ta reda på när geologiska händelser ägde rum och när isarna rört sig under senaste glaciationen och deglaciationen. Ett mineral som kan användas för åldersbestämning med OSL är kvarts. OSL åldersbestämmer inte kvartskornet utan avsättningsåldern föOptically stimulated luminescence analysis (OSL analysis) is a method used to date sediments from late Quaternary. The method is useful to find out when geological events took place and when the ice sheets moved during the recent glaciation and deglaciation. A mineral that can be used for determination of age with OSL is quartz. The OSL dating method does not determine the age of the individual qu

The aim of this essay is to explore cyberbullying and online hate in games with a focus on how the game developers attempt to self-regulate this hate. With the Swedish laws not being in place to protect the victims and sanctioning the offenders this aspect is a clear example of in-formal control. The essay used Barry Zimmerman’s theory about self-regulation. The empirical part of this essay consis

Kassarna sprids med vinden, informationen ligger i lä Vad får dig att återanvända en plastpåse, eller att avstå helt och hållet? Enligt nya krav måste matbutiken, klädesbutiken - ja till och med den lokala pizzerian - berätta för dig varför plastpåsarna är dåliga för miljön. Allt i syftet att få dig att tänka en extra gång innan du tackar ja till en plastpåse. Om några år är det tänkt att ja tackPlastic carrier bags are one of the most frequently littered objects. They tend to accumulate in the oceans, posing a threat to marine organisms and birds which mistake them for food. To tackle this environmental issue, the EU has decided to reduce the consumption of plastic carrier bags through an amending directive. The directive is regulated through the Swedish regulation regarding plastic carr
