The workplace is an ideal place to enhance employees’ wellbeing, and health promotion is being integrated into organisations by employers as a way to enhance performance quality. Employees are motivated in different ways to live healthy and active lifestyles. However, organisations vary in the ability to enable certain types of health programs, such as allowing employee to exercise during working

The objective of this study is to explore the determinant of innovation in the manufacturing sector at the private firm level in china. The data comes from the World Bank survey, China - Enterprise Survey Manufacturing Module (2012). In this paper, I used the broad definition of innovation that includes product and process innovation. Based on the survey answers, I sought to test four hypotheses b

When a infrastructure project need to be done the planning process is needed. To inform but also to get input to the idea that´s suggested a consultation with the individual concerned is needed. Consultation is the best way for individual concerned to comment the project. To consult with the concerned is essential for upcoming project. The people need to have an opportunity to get involved into th

Uppdragsledning är en viktig del i järnvägsprojekt och avgörande för ett framgångsrikt projekt. Utveckling i uppdragskaraktär och utformning under de senaste åren har lett till nya projektmetodiker. Metodikerna kan hantera stora och komplexa uppdrag genom anpassning efter förändring i projekt och dess omgivning. Agil är en av metodikerna som detta arbete behandlar. För att undersöka implementering

EU’s and the Swedish government’s requirements to lower the energy consumption for buildings are getting stricter. In April 30 2014 the law on energy metering (SFS 2014: 267) was issued. The law deals with energy metering in new construction and reconstruction, during 2015 a decision must be taken on how measurement in existing buildings should be handled. Individual metering and charging (IMC) co

To accomplish safe, accessible and effective travel by train, a well-functioning passenger information system is required. This thesis aims at providing a technical solution for a system able to indicate the position of arriving trains at the platform. This will be achieved with the help of receded LED lighting within the inner marking of the safety zone. The lighting system will also give warning

Denna uppsats syftar att besvara frågan när kausalitet föreligger för revisorers skadeståndsansvar. Denna fråga har varit aktuell sedan det kända Prosolvia-målet kom för några år sedan. I det målet ansåg hovrätten att för att bestämma om kausalitet förelåg var man tvungen att skapa ett hypotetiskt händelseförlopp. I detta hypotetiska händelseförlopp undersöktes om skadan hade uppkommit om revisorThe current statues of confusion for accountant’s damage claims is spreading in Sweden. After the highly mediatized Prosolvia-case a lot of questions regarding causality has surfaced. When does causality for an accountant’s damage claim become applicable? Since the Prosolvia-case verdict there has been a stream of confusion of how the court decided to determine the causality. They decided that one

Godstransporter fyller en central roll i det industrialiserade och globaliserade samhället. I takt med att den globala handeln har ökat har en ökad efterfråga på transporter drivits fram. Trots att transporter bidrar till ekonomiska och sociala fördelar världen över står transportbranschen inför flertalet hållbarhetsrelaterade problem där godstransporter har identifierats som ett av de största hotEffective freight transportation is a central part of the modern society, creating social and economic benefits. Nevertheless, the logistics industry is facing substantial sustainability challenges, where freight transports have been identified as the main environmental hazard. Scholars have previously highlighted the centrality of the purchasing process for reducing the environmental impact of th

PURPOSE: The purpose of this research project is to further advance theory on management of product development by providing insights on customer orientations. The study contributes to the literature by bringing in Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a new perspective to theorize the process of translations between customer orientation and engineering orientation within product development. RELEVANCE:

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka skadeståndsansvaret för sakskada på lös egendom som glömts kvar eller tappats i en näringsidkares affärslokaler av en person som har eller har haft ett avtal med näringsidkaren för att utnyttja hans tjänster. För att kunna uppfylla det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen utgick jag från följande frågeställningar: - Under vilka förutsättningar kan en näringsidkThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the liability for property damage which has been inflicted on personal property belonging to a private person which is left behind or has gotten lost in premises belonging to a businessman, when the owner has or has had a contract with the businessman concerning his services. In order to meet the overall objective of this paper, I formulated the following q

Methodology

The turbulent market environment experienced over the last decades has attracted the broad interest of institutional and retail investors towards non-directional and absolute return investment strategies. The scope of this paper mainly concerns the investigation of whether a pairs trading strategy based on the cointegration approach generates excess returns on the Swedish equity market or fails to

One of infiltration ponds used in the preliminary step for drinking water production at Vombverket in the southern part of Sweden was set for the experiment in this study. The pond was split into two sides as one side received the source water from Vomb Lake and (untreated side). For another side, the water from the same source was pre-treated by DynaSand filter and PAC before transferred into the

Vegetation on land is globally taking up about 30% of the CO2 that is emitted by human activities (oceans take up 30%, while 40% remains in the atmosphere). This ability to store carbon in the vegetation and in the soil is very important to mitigate the climate changes, but all land based ecosystems are not carbon sinks. Ecosystems that are losing carbon needs to be further investigated, so we can

This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee

Vi studerar multipliciteten av egenvärdena till Laplace-operatorn i enhetsskivan med Neumann-randvillkor. Vårt resultat är att alla egenvärden är enkla eller dubbla, ett resultat som är välkänt om man istället föreskriver Dirichlet-randvillkor. Beviset bygger på några egenskaper hos Besselfunktioner. Vi ger också en tillämpning på stående vattenvågor i en cylinder.A study is made of the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator in the unit disc with Neumann boundary conditions. Our result is that all eigenvalues are simple or double, a result which is well-known if one instead considers Dirichlet boundary conditions. The result is proved by using some properties of Bessel functions. We also give an application to standing water waves in a cy

Syftet med denna uppsats är att få en ökad förståelse för hur destinationer med mörk historia arbetar med imageutveckling samt vilken roll lokalbefolkningen har i identitetsutvecklingsprocessen. För att kunna besvara syftet utgår vi därför ifrån två perspektiv. Organisationens perspektiv samt lokalbefolkningens perspektiv på destinations- och imageutvecklingsprocessen. Utifrån detta syfte har vi s
