Water scarcity is one of the environmental issues, which societies face nowadays. The demand for water in popular tourist destinations, in areas that are already subject to limited natural water resources, compounds the problem. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to examine whether social marketing can be an effective method to increase the reuse rates of towels in hotels. The chose
Aktieägaravtal är vanligt förekommande i svenska aktiebolag och fungerar som ett kompletterande styrinstrument för bolagets ägare. Genom att ingå avtal kan aktieägare frångå reglerna i aktiebolagslagen2 och bolagsordningen. Avgörande för om avtalet får den effekt som parterna avser är dock vilka rättsliga verkningar gällande rätt tillmäter aktieägaravtalet. Utgångspunkten är att aktieägaravtal intShareholder agreements are often used as a governing instrument in Swedish limited companies. By entering such agreements, the company’s shareholders can agree on rules that deviate from the rules of the Swedish Companies Act1 (SCA) or the Article of Association. However, whether the agreement will have the impact that the parties desire depends on what legal effects shareholder agreements are giv
This paper aims at assessing the economic features and the environmental impact of a wooden tower used in wind-solar renewable energy generating systems. The life cycle assessment method and return on investment method were used in order to achieve the objectives of the study. Two types of towers were used in the analysis: an impregnated wooden tower and an untreated one. Besides wood, the tower i
En av de viktigaste aktörerna på aktiemarknaden är Aktiemarknadsnämnden (AMN). Även om nämndens formella kompetens är omfattande, ankommer det inte på nämnden att avgöra hur aktiebolagslagen (2005:551, ABL) ska tolkas. Trots detta är nämndens förhållningssätt till ABL ofta av stor betydelse för rättsläget, rörande riktade nyemissioner på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Uppsatsen diskuterar särskilt hu
After localizing of the extracellular calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) throughout the gastrointestinal tract, free aromatic L-amino acids have been found to act as positive allosteric modulators suggesting the CaSR is a potential mediator in protein digestion. The binding site for L-amino acids in the CaSR is located in the venus flytrap domain (VFD). Point mutations on residue Thr-145 and Ser-170
The General Scheme of Preferences (GSP) is a trade promoting program offered by the EU to several developing countries. An extension of the program, GSP+, offer more beneficial market access contingent on positive conditionality. I use the gravity equation to estimate effects on export flows for the participants when changing from GSP to the more generous GSP+ using a sample of 53 countries over t
Much literature on the topic of democratization in post 2003 Iraq claims that cultural factors have impeded a process of effective and sustained democratic development in the country. In many instances however, these claims are very general and fail to specify and theoretically defend how exactly, cultural facets relating to attitudes and behavior such as lacking religious tolerance, have function
Urbanisation has contributed to the acceleration of production and consumption causing strain on the urban environment. Sustainable urban planning aims to manage the transition within cities to reach more sustainable practices, however, there are competing interests in how this should be done from a ‘compact city’ and ‘green city’ perspective. This study aims to assess the potential for an urban
As a growing number of popular films continue to document development issues related international development, it became ever more crucial to move beyond treating these films as mere sort of entertainments and start questioning how these popular commercial films are representing the developing world as well as the messages embedded in them. Some critics have pointed out that these Hollywood-produ
Background: Leading the way in developing digital surveillance camera systems Axis Communications has experienced remarkable growth during the last decade and is now considered the industry leader. Maintaining the core value of high quality is challenging with ever-increasing volumes and a high rate of new product introductions. To find and resolve issues with new products, and ensure a smooth tra
Forecasting volatility is a fundamental topic in in both academic and applied financial economics. Different GARCH-specifications are by far the most popular model based approach used for this purpose. This thesis evaluates the forecast accuracy of some specific GARCH-models; GARCH, EGARCH, APGARCH and MRS-GARCH. The primary purpose of the essay is to investigate whether the more flexible two-regi
In this study, an expectations-augmented model of the Phillips curve will be provided for the Swedish market during the period 1997-2011. This will be done for four different measures of the expectation gap. These four measures were acquired by pairing up two measures of inflation (CPI and CPIF) with two measures of inflation expectations (that of the firms and that of employee/employer organisati
Stochastic dierential equations (SDEs) proved a fundamental mathematical tool to model dynamics subject to randomness and are nowadays a necessary instrument in e.g. nancial mathematics, neuronal modelling, population growth and physiological modelling. In realistic applications SDEs parameters are unknown quantities that have to be estimated from available data. However inference for SDEs is non-
Denna framställning syftar till att besvara frågan om främjandeförbudets förenlighet med Europeiska unionens funktionssätt om frihet att tillhandahålla tjänster samt om den svenska lotterilagen är tillämplig i meningen att marknadsföra utom landet anordnade spel på svenska hemsidor. Redogörelsen för denna uppsats grundar sig på bedömningen om den svenska Lotterilagen är förenlig med EU-rätten. Ar
The aim of the Master Thesis is to analyse the state of the art in wet gas compression, wet gas modelling, derive a thermodynamic model for a compressor layout and compare the model to test data. Wet gas compression is a discussed topic within the oil and gas business. By reducing the number of components in a gas compression unit, the weight can be reduced and the efficiency of the production c
We have studied the surface oxide created on Rh(100) and Rh(111) when exposed to a gas mixture of CO and O2 at high pressures. The study of the oxide surface have been in comparison with already published result of the oxide surface created on the same surfaces but with only O2 in the gas. The analysis has mainly been qualitative but some quantitative analysis have also been conducted. The result
It is commonly expressed by political analysts that there are no longer any differences between the political parties in Swedish politics. The focus of this study has been to compare and analyze the narratives expressed in the election platforms of the major political actors in Sweden, namely Alliansen (the centreright political alliance, existing of the four parties that formed a government 2006-
De flesta föräldrar i Sverige går till barnhälsovården med sitt barn från att det är nyfött. Det gör att sjuksköterskan i barnhälsovården har stor möjlighet att stötta föräldrar i deras tilltro till sin förmåga som förälder vilket kan hjälpa föräldern att skapa goda förutsättningar för sina barn. Syftet var att beskriva föräldrars upplevelse av stöd från sjuksköterskan i barnhälsovården. Studie
