The purpose of our thesis has been to see how impulse buying could manifest itself online by comparing the offline and online mediums through visual enquiry, and build on the already extensive literature on offline impulse buying. The object oriented visual enquiry was used offline and online to observe grocery stores and their current and potential impulse buying stimuli. We gained an initial und

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to examine the presence of CEO overconfidence in Sweden, and how monitoring of the board of directors affects the overconfidence in CEOs in Sweden. Methodology: Two proxies were used to measure overconfidence: OC1 which measured CEO insider trading, and OC2 which measured CEO portrayal in media. A multivariate regression using the ordinary least squares meth

Tidigare forskning på samkönad familjebildning i Sverige har främst rört homosexuella kvinnor och män som tillsammans delat föräldraskap i så kallade flerföräldrafamiljer. I denna kvalitativa studie fokuseras mödrar som istället vänt sig till fertilitetsklinik för insemination med donatorsäd från permanent okända donatorer. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med elva mödrar från sju samkönadPrevious research on same-sex parenting in Sweden has focused on families in which homosexual women and men share parenting tasks in so called multi-parent families. This qualitative study focuses on mothers who turned to fertility clinics for insemination with semen from permanently unknown donors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven mothers from seven same-sex families. Discour

Ida Mexnell Ett biobränsles påverkan på luftmiljön Användningen av fossila bränslen anses i dagsläget vara den enskilt största orsaken till den globala uppvärmningen, vilket beror på dess bidrag till ökningen av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Med hopp om att kunna bromsa den uppvärmande trenden pågår forskning för att ta fram alternativa bränslen som ska vara mer skonsamma mot miljön och inte bidra Renewable alternatives to fossil fuels are of importance nowadays since the use of fossil fuels is considered to stand for the largest contribution to global warming. In recent years, a group of cyclic ethers called furans have been proposed as potential renewable fuels. To enable evaluation of the usefulness of these compounds as fuels, it is important to understand their atmospheric chemistry si

South Africa is a water-scarce country that is expected to face challenges regarding freshwater resources in the future. This study aimed to identify the land cover in two different catchments and to analyse the water quality in relation to land cover data. The study shows that GIS and remote sensing can be successfully used as a tool in classifying land cover over time in order to use the results

Svenska kommuner innehar i dag stora mänger geografisk information, information som är nödvändig för att sköta kommunen. Förr i tiden var all geografisk information i pappersformat, sedan digitalerades den och fördes in i datorn. Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på hur man kan ta nästa steg, från datorn till mobiltelefonen. Dagens tekniska framsteg på den mobila marknaden har gett oss en helt ny Swedish municipalities today hold large amounts of geographical information, information that is necessary to manage the municipality. In the past all geographical information was stored in paper format, but it has now been digitalized and stored in computers. This thesis has focused on how to take the next step, from the computer to the mobile phone. Today's technological advances in the mobi

The purpose of this study is to find more efficient technologies to solve the problem of capturing and extract a contaminant cloud over a larger surface, e.g. workbench. The main air pollution that the technology shall be able to control is welding fumes, and the main focus is to obtain a contaminant free breathing zone. Today’s products for extracting welding fumes are either an extraction arm th

En av de mest användbara instrumenten för identifiering av ädelstenar är refraktometern. Standardrefraktometern är baserad på synligt ljus, men en första generationens infraröd refraktometer är ute på marknaden. Den här nya refraktometern har inte visat rätt värden och därför är syftet med detta projekt att testa olika parametrar och se deras påverkan på resultaten. En av de mest användbara instrOne of the most valuable instruments for gem identification is the refractometer. The standard refractometer is based on visible light, but a first generation infrared refractometer is out on the market. This new refractometer has not showed accurate values, and therefore the purpose of this project has been to test different parameters and see their influence on the results. The temperature seem

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the conflict of Norrvikens trädgårdar (Norrviken's Gardens) in the rural community of Båstad municipality in Sweden. For a long time, this park has been an arena for conflicts about land use and physical planning. With a theoretical approach, founded on second home tourism, the thesis examines the struggle between the different actors. Second home touri

Computer-aided modeling for simulation, optimization and analysis is increasingly used for product development in industry today, resulting in high demands on the tools used. A tool chain for transferring interpreted code of the modeling languages Modelica and Optimica from the simulation and optimization tool JModelica.org to CasADi has been implemented. CasADi provides several desirable features

As the processes of globalization intensify, the issues of people migration and citizenship receive more scholarly attention than ever. The questions regarding dual or even multiple citizenship are unavoidable nowadays and governments have to decide whether they tolerate the fact that their citizens may also be citizens of another state or do they prevent their citizens from acquiring multiple cit

Operationssjuksköterskan exponeras för blod och blodtillblandade kroppsvätskor i sitt arbete på operationssalen. Alla människor är potentiella smittbärare och risk kan föreligga att smittas av blodburen smitta. Stick-, skär- och stänkskada i vården innebär den största risken för överföring av blodburen smitta. Användandet av skyddsutrustning vid operation förhindrar smittspridning. Syftet med stud

Theoretical option prices can be computed using several different pricing models which make numerous assumptions about the markets and the underlying asset. Depending on those assumptions, the models have different strengths and weaknesses which make them more suited to a specific type of market. This study evaluates six different pricing models implemented in MATLAB, and introduces a combined mod

The question raised in this thesis – whether the domestic anti-abuse legislation applies to deny the tax treaty benefits – cannot be decided unambiguously. As controversial debate shows, it is rather difficult to elaborate the uniform international approach concerning this issue due to a number of arguments: the incorporation of double tax treaties into domestic law takes place differently in vari
