This dissertation explores the nexus between sustainable tourism development and corporate social responsibility (CSR). It addresses the scope for CSR to promote sustainable tourism in an international development context. This objective was pursued by exploring three sub-questions: what tools have been used to stimulate social responsibility in tourism; how has ecotourism influenced social respon
Background: Adequate resource allocation is an important factor to ensure equity in health care. Previous reimbursement models have been based on age, gender and socioeconomic factors. An explanatory model based on individual need of primary health care (PHC) has not yet been used in Sweden to allocate resources. The aim of this study was to examine to what extent the ACG case-mix system could exp
In this paper, a novel multiple representation data structure for dynamic visualisation of 3D city models, called CityTree, is proposed. To create a CityTree, the ground plans of the buildings are generated and simplified. Then, the buildings are divided into clusters by the road network and one CityTree is created for each cluster. The leaf nodes of the CityTree represent the original 3D objects
Growing demand for transport biofuels in the EU is driving an expansion of the industry in developing countries. Large-scale production of energy crops for biofuel, if mismanaged, could cause detrimental environmental and social impacts. The aim of this study is to examine whether the newly adopted EU Directive 2009/28/EC and its sustainability certification system can effectively ensure sustainab
The three-year research project funded by MSB applies design science, in combination with traditional scientific investigation, to develop a method to guide the planning phase of capacity development projects for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The method facilitates local participation and ownership as it builds on the strengths of the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), whil
Isotropic chiral media can be modelled in several ways. We show that when realizing such a medium from spiral inclusions with real permittivities and permeabilities in a periodic structure, a modified Drude–Born–Fedorov model is obtained. This model equals the original Born model for small wave vectors, but the strength of the chirality depends on the propagation direction. The effective parameter
Therapy-induced resistance remains a significant hurdle to achieve long-lasting responses and cures in cancer patients. We investigated the long-term consequences of genetically impaired angiogenesis by engineering multiple tumor models deprived of endoglin, a co-receptor for TGF-beta in endothelial cells actively engaged in angiogenesis. Tumors from endoglin-deficient mice adapted to the weakened
The topological characteristics of an IEEE 802.16 mesh network including the tree’s depth and degree of its nodes affect the delay and throughput of the network. To reach the desired trade-off between delay and throughput, all potential trees should be explored to obtain a tree with the proper topology. Since the number of extractable tree topologies from a given network graph is enormous, we use
We present the design of a split-and-delay unit for the production of two delayed replicas of an incident extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse. The device features a single grazing incidence reflection in combination with attenuation of remaining infrared light co-propagating with the XUV beam, offering a high throughput without the need of introducing additional optics that would further decrease the
Knowledge of the forest biomass and its change in time is crucial to understanding the carbon cycle and its interactions with climate change. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, in this respect, has proven to be a valuable tool, providing reliable estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). The overall goal of this study was to develop a method for assessing AGB using a synergy of low poin

När man i juridisk doktrin talar om inomobligatoriskt skadeståndsansvar åsyftas det skadeståndsansvar som drabbar part i ett avtalsförhållande. Den uppkomna skadan i dessa situationer är oftast ren förmögenhetsskada med vad menas sådan ekonomisk skada som uppkommit utan samband med person- eller sakskada. Huvudregeln i svensk skadeståndsrätt är att ren förmögenhetsskada leder till skadestånd endasIf one of the parties to a contract does not fulfill his contractual promise, or has given information to the other party that he will not perform as mentioned in the contract, he is said to breach the contract. With that a breach of contract is a legal cause of action in which a contract is not honored by one of the parties. Most of the time ones breach of contract leads to an economic loss for
Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka SEB:s och Swedbanks mellan 2005-2009 och belysa huruvida lagstiftning och finanskrisen påverkat deras kreditrisk. Metod: Vi kommer använda oss av den kvantitativa metoden med vissa element av den kvalitativa metoden. Vidare används en deduktiv ansats. Teoretiska perspektiv: Moral Hazard, kapitalbuffertsteorin Empiri: Empirin bygger på insamlat material från SEB och S
India has a composite federal structure comprising of 28 States with a strong unitary bias. A majority of rivers in India crisscross the political boundaries of two or more States. The river waters often give rise to inter-State water conflicts. Most of the conflicts are normally resolved by way of mutually agreeable water sharing agreements. However, in the cases of intransigence, the Constitutio
Syftet är att undersöka om en utomstående placerare kan erhålla en överavkastning gentemot marknaden genom att följa de köp- eller säljtransaktioner som insynspersoner utför. Studien inkluderar teorier så som den effektiva marknadshypotesen, Capital Asset Pricing Model, Fama-French Trefaktorsmodell. Studien konstaterar att det går att erhålla en överavkastning genom att följa insynspersoners köptr
The bachelor thesis contains a presentation of three NGOs working for sustainable housing and infrastructure development for the low-income families in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and the future prospect of introducing a wider range of multi-storey buildings. A high number of the Central American population live in densely populated slums in urban areas with harsh living conditions far below the pove
