Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are no longer fixed or constant. Instead, they are continuously readjusted according to perceived demand and factors that influence the desirability of the product. It is in passenger transport where it has one of its biggest applications, in order to increase profits and maximize the use of limited capacity. While extensively studied for its econ
A method towards a dynamic daylight glare evaluation in the early stage of design was developed in this thesis, using existing glare metrics under multiple observer positions and gazes. The results pointed out that it is possible for a zonal characterization regarding glare sensation to be achieved with the combination of multiple existing metrics and a weighting system, named the adaptation possi
This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how
Formaldehyd är en kemikalie som används till allt möjligt. I första hand används den som en råvara till andra kemiska fabriker, men kan också användas för att göra olika typer av laminater. Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som utvecklar och säljer fabriker som producerar formaldehyd. Formaldehyd skapas när metanol reagerar med syre under specifika situationer. Formox har gjort många utvecklinA pre-adiabatic reactor concept for catalytic methanol oxidation was investigated. The reason was the possibilities of a reduced catalyst reloading time and reduced deflagration risk. An adiabatic reactor pilot was constructed. Trials were performed to confirm that the pilot was running at an adiabatic state. Information about the pilot pressure drop, temperature profile and outlet composition was
Despite climate risks posing a serious threat to business and business continuity, empirical research has shown little active involvement of the private sector in climate change adaptation (CCA). National plans of governments, as well as global agreements and reports, highlight the need for collaborative climate action on a global scale, placing special emphasis on private sector involvement as cr
To form a building adapted to the environment and at the same time preserve land, water and other resources in a long term it has to fulfill some requirements. Requirements are set by international and national governing authorities. In order for a regular consumer, property owner or entrepreneur to be guided towards sustainable construction, there are also several environmental certification syst
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if it exists a relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and firm performance and to answer if a legislated gender quota for corporate boards would affect the performance of Swedish public firms. The approach in this study is quantitative and conducted on 48 large cap companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, during the time period 20
The autumn of 2015 constituted a major break with the prior migration regime in Sweden, as the government implemented temporary migration laws in order to curb the large-scale arrival of migrants, which had taken the authorities by surprise at the time. Following this, the question of migration has gradually to a greater extent come to be framed as a threat by government officials and the politica
Hur kan vi tackla problemet med övergödning utan att våra reningsverk ska behöva använda massor med kemikalier för att ta bort ämnena skyldiga till detta fenomen? Övergödning av hav och sjöar, resulterandes i ökad algblomning och syrebrist, sker på grund av utsläpp av för mycket näringsämnen såsom fosfor. Sverige har därav strikta reningskrav för vattnet vi släpper ut och de flesta reningsverk bedAs eutrophication of lakes and oceans is increasing, regulations regarding phosphorus effluents becomes stricter. Consequently, the majority of Sweden’s wastewater treatment plants employs some method for phosphorus removal. Increased efforts for sustainable purification methods has also led to phosphorus removal by chemical means starting to be replaced by biological phosphorus removal. A common

Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet. Målet var att designa en lösning som kan monteras snabbt, enkelt och med bara en handThis master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to extend the existing range of mounts for surveillance cameras mounted recessed in ceilings. A recessed mount is an accessory for mounting cameras, or other devices, in ceilings when a discreet finish is wanted. The goal was to design a solution that can be mounted fast, easy and with the use of one hand only. The comp
I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo
Crises today are a constant threat to organizations and are likely to cause major consequences for the organization, its members and other stakeholders affected by the event. Most of the previous research on crisis communication has focused on the urgent crisis phase and organizations' efforts to restore its reputation. Only recently has research begun to engage in proactive crisis communicati
Like many other West African countries, The Gambia faces challenges regarding discrimination based on descent, which relates to the inherited disadvantage of being born into a specific group (RADDHO & IDSN, 2012). This sociological case study has the analytical purpose of discussing the case of social stratification and descent-based discrimination in the Fulani village of Nokuta in The Gambia
Background: Women working in the public human service sector in 'overstrained' situations run the risk of musculoskeletal symptoms and long-term sick leave. In order to maintain the level of health and work ability and strengthen the potential resources for health, it is important that employees gain greater control over decisions and actions affecting their health - a process associated with the
Popular Abstract in English Clothing plays an important role in our lives. It serves four main functions: adornment, status, modesty and protection. Wearing popular clothing with one’s favourite decorations, contributes to a person reaching his or her mental comfort. Clothing is also a symbol of status, and was particularly so in ancient times. Moreover, it protects the human body from injury fromClothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important inputs for both the modelling and for standards dealing with thermal comfort and heat stress. It might be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. Previous studies have demonstrated that the thermal manikin is the most ideal instrument for testing clothing evaporative resistance. However, the repea
Background: Performance of migrating birds can be affected by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors like morphology, meteorological conditions and migration strategies. We compared travel speeds of four raptor species during their crossing of the Sahara desert. Focusing the analyses on this region allows us to compare different species under equivalent conditions in order to disentangle whic
This paper introduces the possibility of increasing the efficiency and minimizing the risk in functions marketing in the aircraft industry by focusing on better control of the logistic parameters. Functions marketing can be described as the marketing of a function rather than a product. The emphasis in this paper will be on the maintenance, i.e. repair and overhaul, of aircraft engines.
