I nordvästra Lund finns ett handelsområde vid namn Mobilia. I området finns industri och dagligvaruhandel. Vid höga trafikflöden så har området uppfattats som otillgängligt och besvärligt att ta sig runt i för samtliga trafikantgrupper. Området har därför analyserats och som hjälpmedel så har analysen inspirerats av åtgärdsvalsstudier. Fokus har främst legat på oskyddade trafikanters tillgänglighe

Daily-deal websites have recently been a new and successful way of attracting product service providers since they offer ‘‘free’’ advertising and at the same time the opportunity to sell products and services via certain promotional campaigns. However, research on the concept of daily deal consumer behaviour has been somewhat limited in the context of online shopping, especially regarding empirica

This thesis examines the motives of IT employees to stay employed at their current job in an organisation or resign voluntarily and suggests possible factors for organisations to consider while designing retention strategies. The research was conducted as an inductive case study at an IT organisation headquartered in Sweden. A mixed method approach was adopted to gather empirical data through inte

Repeatedly it has been demonstrated that the specific performance of an individual or a small group of workers have a significant impact on the profitability of a company. Hence, talented workers are vital for companies in order to stay competitive in today’s fierce business market. In addition, in industries where employees constitute the offered product the role of talent becomes even more impor

Skam är en kraftfull känsla med både positiv och negativ funktion. Känslan kan vara övergående och reglera beteendet i förhållande till omgivningens normer. Internaliserad skam är ett mer konstant tillstånd av negativ självbild där individen uppfattar hela sig som misslyckad, pinsam och mindre värd än andra. Skammen kan döljas genom att man undviker situationer som aktiverar och avslöjar den plågsShame is a powerful affect with both positive and negative functions. The emotion can be transient and help the person to socialise and behave successfully in relation to social norms. Internalised shame is a more constant state of negative self-image in which the individual regards all of him- or herself as a failure, awkward and of less worth. The shame can be hidden by avoiding situations that

Chiral perturbation theory is an efficient effective theory to describe meson-meson scattering at low energy. An effective theory naturally introduces low energy constants and they are used, for example, to solve the ultraviolet divergences. The aim of this master thesis is to focus on meson-meson scattering to find some theoretical bounds on the coupling constants, based mainly on arguments from

The study contains both an empirical and theoretical purpose. The aim is to analyze and explain the current portrayal of auditors by Swedish media, and if and when this portrayal is made in a positive way. Different theoretical perspectives will be combined in order to develop a more comprehensive framework for analysing the relation between media and auditors. The theoretical framework is based

As the number of connected devices around us increase through the development of Internet of Things (IoT), the need for interaction with these devices increase. This thesis aims to examine the benefits of using wearables to achieve fast at-a-glance interaction. A functional prototype, UbiCompass, was developed for a smartwatch that exploits the direction of the connected devices relative to the us

Theoretical Perspective: The study relates engagement to strategic brand management, including the creation of a brand identity within the production process

In this thesis, the mechanical properties of thin films of low density polyethylene were investigated. There were three main objectives: to perform experiments, to simulate the experiments in Abaqus and to identify material parameters for some constitutive models by optimization. The experimental part consisted of conventional uniaxial tensile tests. Another objective was to investigate whether th

The end of the Cold War marked the end of a dual world power system and an opening up of world markets. This has resulted in a more complex risk landscape, complicating political risks that firms face abroad. The 1990s and onwards also marked an increase in global interconnectedness, increasing companies’ exposure to political risks. Political risk identification has therefore become important com

Nowadays dairy powders are common products and their market share is increasing. Dairy powders are produced for various reasons, such as to reduce the transportation cost, handle seasonal variation in milk or to valorise the by-products of the production.
