There is an urgent need to ensure sustainable consumption patterns in western countries such as Sweden. Movements around the world demanding leaders to take action for the survival of our planet also puts pressure on companies to act responsibly. Since consumption patterns are influenced by the decisions made by companies on how to do business the choice of business model can promote or hinder mor
Though there currently exists numerous ways and suggestions of how to measure emissions in transportation, companies struggle to accurately quantify their greenhouse gas emissions to make sound and green decisions. It is difficult to determine what to measure, how to measure and why to measure in a certain way. Hence, the purpose of this master thesis was to develop a performance measurement frame
Under de senaste åren har det skett en ökning av antalet unga kvinnor som använder sig av vitt nikotinsnus i Sverige. Det har gjorts uttalanden kring att detta är ett problem för folkhälsan då unga riskerar att bli beroende av en skadlig produkt. En del av problemet samt de diskussioner som uppdagats kring ämnet har varit bristen på marknadsförings- och försäljningsregler, vilket har gett företag Over recent years, there has been an increase in young women’s use of white nicotine pouches in Sweden. Statements have been made about this being a problem for public health since young people risk addiction to a harmful product. Part of the problem and discussion has been the lack of marketing and sales regulations, which has given companies the full ability to target specific groups. Considerin
Bakgrund Antalet hemlösa personer i Sverige har ökat och är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle. Hemlöshet är ett komplext fenomen där stigmatisering, missbruksproblematik och fysisk och psykisk ohälsa många gånger är inblandat. Att leva som hemlös kan påverka möjligheten till aktivitet och delaktighet i det dagliga livet. Syfte Syftet var att utifrån ett aktivitetsperspektiv belysa behovet av akt
En studie om sökta och erhållna belöningar genom användning av Enterprise Social Media: ett medarbetarperspektiv Många anser att ESM har potentialen att både förenkla och förbättra samarbete, och stärka det ”sociala kapitalet”, men ändå misslyckas 80% av implementationerna. Denna studie hoppas ge insikter i vad som driver de som ändå använder ESM, med förhoppningen att bidra till fler lyckade fraA study of the gratifications sought and obtained through using Enterprise Social Media: an employee perspective Although ESM is widely held to have the potential to improve both collaborative efficiency and to strengthen social ties among employees, around 80% of ESM implementations fail. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of why some people do use ESM, which in turn can lead to
The study conducted aimed to answer two different question statements: does the door-in-the-face technique influence willingness to accept a monetary offer in a ultimatum game scenario consisting of two steps, where participants were first presented with a lower bid followed by a higher bid and is there any personality trait within the five-factor model of personality related to a greater tendency
FN:s kommitté för mänskliga rättigheter har som ansvar att granska medlemsländernas efterlevnad av Konventionen om medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter och att lämna allmänna kommentarer om konventionen. I följande uppsats görs en textanalys på en av dessa kommentarer, vilken kommenterar Artikel 7 inom konventionen. Artikel 7 behandlar förbudet mot tortyr och annan grym, omänsklig eller förnedr
This paper is a critical discourse analysis aiming to examine how the Migration Court in Malmö uses children's own reasons for asylum and the concept of the best interest of the child in a selected number of decisions from January to March 2012th. We have investigated how the court formulates its decisions in order to under¬stand if a child’s claim for asylum is tested on its own merits and ho
Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u
This thesis concerns itself with low-momentum-transfer processes in high-energy particle collisions. These processes cannot be described in the framework of the fundamental theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), but rely on a pre-QCD approach, the Regge theory. Several models containing various degrees of complexity have been proposed within this framework, some of which have been developed and
This study estimated the climate footprint of halogenated inhalation anesthetics in Sweden and estimated effects of a decreased use of these compounds. We collected data on sales of desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane in Sweden during 2017 and calculated the mass of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) using Global Warming Potential data over 100 years for the compounds. Inhalation anesthetics contributed by
This chapter is dedicated to radio channel measurement and modelling techniques for beyond 4G networks, in particular: • new measurement techniques not only targeting radio channels, but also material properties in new frequency bands (Section 9.1), • improved physical models, cowering full-wave as well as ray-based methods, with a specific sub-section dealing with diffuse scattering (DS) and comp
Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure. It is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and it often persists after successful renal transplantation. sHPT is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There are two mBackground. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure.

Barriers to decision quality were reported by 473 administrative officers and investigators in three Swedish national public authorities: the Tax Agency, Social Insurance Agency, and Police Authority. In line with previous research, we assumed that limited possibilities to plan one’s work would hinder decision quality. Both disruption of workflow and high workload were reported to inhibit work pla

A new European Union policy could increase the supply of legitimate pharmaceuticals in developing countries and thereby minimize the problem of counterfeit medicines, but many challenges remain. This paper describes the proposed European legislation and discusses its' potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Ultimately, we consider if the United States should consider similar po
