Palaeoproterozoic magmatism throughout the North Atlantic Craton (NAC) has produced dyke swarms of diverse orientations and emplacement ages. In southern West Greenland, previously identified swarms include the ca. 2500 Ma Kilarsaarfik dykes, ca. 2215 Ma boninitic norite (BN) dykes, and the abundant ca. 2040 Ma Kangamiut and coeval 2050-2030 Ma MD3 dykes. Additional insight into the distribution o

The thesis aims at finding means for assessing and improving the requirements engineering (RE) process in order to enhance software product quality and increase the competitive edge of software organisations. Quality can be defined as the ability to satisfy the customers’ expectations. Thus, from an RE perspective, improved quality implies improved requirements elicitation and prioritisation effor

Artikel 1(1) i FN-stadgan ger uttryck för FN:s grundläggande syfte, att bevara den internationella fred- och säkerheten. Vidare föreskriver artikel 2(4) FN-stadgan att alla medlemsstater ska avhålla sig från bruk av, eller hot om, mellanstatligt våld. Dessa regleringar kompletteras av att stater enligt folkrätten tilldelas en omfattande suveränitet. Som utgångspunkt är stater således förbjudna attArticle 1(1) of the Charter of the United Nations states the main purpose of the United Nations, which is to maintain international peace and security. To achieve the purposes laid out in the Charter all states shall, according to article 2(4) of the Charter, refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inc

Continuous Integration is an approach to handle the complexity in modern software development projects. Instead of developing modules separately and then performing a time consuming phase of integrating all modules in the end of each project, it is possible to continuously test the compatibility of a single module as they develop. The company HMS Industrial Networks is a leading independent distri

Att multinationella koncerner ägnar sig åt aggressiv skatteplanering har under det senaste decenniet blivit en självklarhet. De kan genom att utnyttja olikheter i ländernas skattelagstiftning planera sin beskattning och allokera kostnader till ett högskatteland och intäkter till ett lågskatteland för att på så vis behålla en större del av vinsten inom koncernen. Det har uppdagats i flertalet journThe fact that Multinational enterprises (hereinafter only referred to as MNE's) engage in aggressive tax planning has become a matter of course in the last decade. This is usually possible due to the fact that they are active in many countries. By exploiting differences in the tax law of the different countries in which they operate they can plan their taxation in order to retain a greater pro

Problem: When opening a newspaper today there is a good chance that the headlines have something to do with recent developments in the global climate debate. This development is forcing companies to take action. The problem for many companies, including Thule, is that they are unaware of the environmental work conducted throughout their value chain and also what they need to do to become green. Th

The increased competition caused by the global economy we are facing has forced companies to develop well established corporate strategies. Merging or acquiring a company has for a long time been used by organizations as one of the main strategic tools for expanding globally or for entering new markets. The problem is that over 50 percent of the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) fail by deliverin

Sweden has traditionally pursued a restrictive policy on alcohol. One of the fundamental and outstanding features of this policy is the monopolization of the retail sales of alcoholic beverages. Spirits, wine and beer with an alcohol content of more than 3.5 per cent by volume may only be sold by the State-owned Systembolaget AB. The products available in Systembolaget's shops are selected and

Internet har bara de senaste årtiondena intagit en självklar roll i västvärldens vardag; genom denna kanal sker såväl social kommunikation och marknadsföring som affärstransaktioner och myndighetsutövning.

The basis of this study lies in implementing Information systems (IS) and the related issue of user resistance. An IS-implementation can be a challenging process and there are numerous pitfalls. One of these pitfalls is the emergence of user resistance, and previous research indicates the management of user resistance can be affected by contextual factors of the IS-implementation. The purpose of t

Hållbarhetsfrågan är viktig för samhället, företag och individen, vilket leder till att en motreaktion till shoppingdagen Black Friday växer och allt fler företag tar ett avståndstagande från överkonsumtion. Därmed ämnade studien till att undersöka hur företags avståndstagande från Black Friday kopplas till hållbar marknadskommunikation, och hur dessa avståndstaganden påverkas av grafiska tecken. Sustainability is an important matter for society, companies and individuals, which has led to a growing resistance against Black Friday, which more and more companies engage in. The aim of this study was thus to examine how companies’ renunciation of Black Friday is linked to sustainable marketing communications, and how graphic elements influence these renunciations. This study also aimed to exa

Detta examensarbetet handlar om att forma en hemisfäroid från en platt honeycomb-skiva samtidigt som honeycomb-strukturen bibehålls. Honeycomb-strukturen är ett hexagonalt mönster som kan vara gjord av hexagoner, cirklar eller trianglar. Inom kartografi görs jordens sfäriska yta om till en platt representation i form av en karta. Omvandlingen är omöjlig utan förvrängning eller uppdelning i mindreThis Master thesis is about forming a hemispheroid out of a flat honeycomb while retaining the honeycomb structure through an even spread of deformation. The honeycomb structure is a hexagonal structure which can be made out of hexagons, circles or triangles. In cartography the surface of the earth, a spheroid, must be distorted or cut up in order to create a flat map. In the same way forming of

This study used the urban context of Brunnshög, Sweden as a real case study to assess non-visual daylight conditions in urban environments. More precisely, the work was focusing on how the light spectrum – through surrounding façade colour and window type – can have an impact on the circadian potential.
