The development of CSR has been evolving since the 1950s and continues to evolve today. The majority of this development has taken place in economic science and within the framework of the companies work with CSR.

The scale at which greenhouse gases are produced by human activities is a global problem, and as such it is being targeted broadly both by political means as well as technologically. One of the major contributors to the emission of green house gases globally, as well as in Sweden, is the transportation sector. This poses an opportunity for technologies that aim to reduce impact of the transport se

Due to society’s modernization and climate changes, transboundary crisis is becoming more severe. This means that communication in many cases needs to be virtual, especially via radio, instead of face-to-face. At the same time, there is a willingness to co-locate in a greater extent. The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding of how the means of communication affects the outcome of a

In 1994 the Swedish Construction Code, BKR, was changed from being based on material to being based on function. This permitted constructing multi-storey buildings with a bearing framework made of wood, which had been prohibited since the end of the 19th century. There is now a growing in- terest of using wood as a construction material. In Växjö four seven-storey buildings, Limnologen, are under

Global risks from disasters are increasing, and with more urbanization more resources are now spent on planning and preventive actions. This has led to increased interest in working with the concept of resilience. The concept has now been adopted by different organizations to launch initiatives and campaigns to increase the resilience of cities and societies. The purpose of this thesis was to acco

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. 3D printed prostheses have recently gained a lot of interest thanks to the

Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity, and the media often uses metaphors to describe and dramatize these events. Metaphors are a key part of how society communicates and can strongly influence perception. This thesis aimed to analyze the use of metaphors by the Swedish news media when reporting on wildfires and to examine whether the use of metaphors affect public perception of the s

I detta examensarbete görs en utvärdering av ankomstprognoser för tåg för att se hur de olika prediktionskällorna står sig mot varandra och hur pass väl dessa efterspeglar verkligheten. Vidare är detta examensarbete en sprint av ett forskningsprojekt som genomförs och bedrivs på Lunds Tekniska Högskola på uppdrag av Trafikverket. Till skillnad från forskningsprojektet bygger detta examensarbetIn this master thesis, an evaluation of arrival forecasts for trains is made to see how various prediction sources compare to each other and how well these reflect reality. Furthermore, this thesis is a sprint of a research project that is carried out and conducted at Lund University of Technology on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration. Unlike the research project, this thesis is based

"Inflammation resolution" has of late become a topical research area. Activation of resolution phase mechanisms, involving select post-transcriptional regulons, transcription factors, 'autacoids', and cell phenotypes, is now considered to resolve inflammatory diseases. Critical to this discourse on resolution is the elimination of inflammatory cells through apoptosis and phagocytosis. For major in

Decisions made by child welfare workers continue throughout the life of a case. Information is constantly being gathered and coming in from a variety of sources which can complicate the decision-making process. Child welfare agencies can benefit from understanding how child welfare workers make decisions and if certain interventions like the concepts from safety science can help increase the infor

Thermal comfort is a topic that for the last century has interested designers and researchers. European and International standards have given guidelines for assessment of thermal comfort in typical indoor environments for long occupancy, however the transitory spaces and semi-external spaces have not been addressed. Available literature was reviewed and summarize to find appropriate methods for a

Based on a research project on the refugee reception in Malmö, Sweden in the fall of 2015, this thesis explores how volunteers engaged in refugee related aid work acquire two conflicting identity positions. Through compassionate acts they orient between two poles: the refugees and the Swedish society. Analysis of interviews with volunteers engaged in the refugee reception, as well as observations

Today's network cameras are constantly evolving, giving us higher resolution and higher quality video streams which demands higher capacity data links. In Pan, Tilt, Zoom (rotating) cameras the Slip Ring acts as the single communication link between the stationary and rotating parts of the camera and at the same time enables unrestricted rotation. It is therefore a key component within the cam

A memorable journey to the North – A study of the travel experiences of Chinese tourists in Scandinavia With the increasing number of outbound Chinese tourists, tourism bureaus in Scandinavia are now exploring ways in understanding Chinese tourists as well as to prepare themselves to be more “China-Ready”. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research demonstrating the importance of memory objec

The relation between LIS and physical bibliography is examined primarily through an analysis of such LIS literature as applies physical bibliography in research or otherwise discusses its relevance to information studies. Quite a number of scholars are stressing the usefulness of this bibliographical tradition, even though its position in LIS agenda as a whole seems to be less established. These s

This thesis concerns the problems that surround the implementation and enforcement of international humanitarian law in non-international armed conflicts. The provisions applicable to such conflicts are common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions together with Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. The main obstacles surrounding the implementation of these provisions are of various natur

Media, technology and globalization are the key words in academic contemporary consumer and cultural research going on today. From these ideas, many different research directions could diverge. This thesis explores the listening habits of female, native Finnish and English speakers living in Sweden who are within the age groups of 20’s to 40’s. Focusing on media, technology, and mobile world citiz

Wind actions on roof-mounted solar collectors dier from those on an open range-deployment, due to turbulence and wind stream deection induced by the underlying building. As of December 2010, no construction codes in eect describes the wind loads on such structures, with the exception of the preliminary standard NVN 7250 from the Netherlands, with the latest draft released in 2007. The roofs consid
