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 purpose of this study is to examine types of challenges during the implementation of BPM regarding the set and use of performance indicators from a theoretical and practical perspective. Consequently, this thesis generates an understanding by illuminating reasons behind the previously found challenges. Hereby, this case study has followed a qualitative, abductive research strategy. The used pr

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

Göta älv är Sveriges största vattendrag som sträcker sig från Vänern ner till Kungälv där bifurkationen delar den i Nordre älv och Göta älv (Göteborgsgrenen). Vattendraget är ett riksintresse och används bland annat för fiske, rekreation, som recipient och framförallt råvattentäkt för många kringliggande vattenverk som försörjer cirka 700 000 invånare. Kungälv kommun bygger och planerar inför ettGöta älv is the largest river in Sweden, which runs from the Lake Vänern into Kattegatt. The river is of national interest and is used as a drinking water supply for 700 000 inhabitants, for fishing, recreation and as a recipient for treated wastewater. The water quality is affected by runoff waters, precipitation, waste water and accidental spills from industry and vessels. Kungälv County is in

Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern

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

Risk management is a process that is necessary in projects, yet there are companies that are either performing it or not performing it thoroughly. Studies show that projects, where risk management is involved in the process, succeed better in aspects such as time and budget. Risk management consists of identifying, analysing, doing a risk response and monitoring. There are different types of risk

Examensarbetet är en studie som syftar till att kartlägga de kritiska delarna inom logistik i byggbranschen och belysa dessa ur ett Lean perspektiv med fokus på förbättring. Nuläget av branschens logistikflöde vid byggnation och försörjningskedjan av prefabricerade byggelement skall också kartläggas. Studien ska på ett rådgivande sätt ge förslag till alternativa lösningar av logistikens problemomr

The railway is an important part of the Swedish infrastructure. For several years there has been an increase in traffic as well as in the demand for a well-functioning railway system. However the increased traffic does at the same time set higher demands for availability, reliability and punctuality. In order to meet these demands and to perform maintenance work in an efficient and predictable way

Girls continue to be less interested in studying engineering than boys. Previous research has found that this gender difference is in part due to girls’ lower self-efficacy, lower sense of belonging in engineering and higher communal goals, which they perceive are difficult to fulfil in engineering. This study tested if a role model intervention can improve these factors in female high school stud
