Solel som tjänst- hur nya affärsmodeller gör solelsbranschen mer cirkulär Den pågående expansionen av solenergi ger upphov till frågor om hur vi ska hantera de framtida problemen med elektroniskt avfall. Innovativa affärsmodeller visar hur solelsbranschen potentiellt kan hantera problemet genom att anamma principer från cirkulär ekonomi. Den här studien presenterar hur 10 svenska solelsföretag seWhile the development of solar power is an important step in replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy, the fast increase in PV system deployment is projected to create large amounts of electronic waste in the next decades. Circular economy has been suggested as a key concept for changing society towards more resource efficient systems where products and materials retain their value along their

Näringslivet kan dra nytta av öppna data på flera olika sätt men man måste vara medvetna om de hinder som finns på i det snabbt växande landskapet av öppna data i Sverige.Open data is broadly expected to generate innovation and economic value for both the public and private sector. Though the diffusion of open data has kept a fast pace, knowledge of visualisation and points of access of open data remains low. Moreover, literature of the private-sector application of open data is still scarce. The first objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge about the

Sustainable development has become a major goal of development policies across the globe and environmental innovation is commonly viewed as a means to fulfil this goal because it can create growth while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Recent research in economic geography has provided evidence for a positive relationship between variety in local knowledgebases and innovativeness. Fol

Among others, they face discrimination, racism, and stigmatization, and they end up resorting to different techniques to cope with their situation, and they even change their identity and go through identity negotiation process with the surrounding new society.

Pentaklorfenol (PCP) är en klorerad aromatisk förening som användes flitigt för att behandla trä mot mikrobiell nedbrytning innan den blev förbjuden på 70-talet. På grund av dess höga löslighet förekommer PCP som en grundvattenförorening kring äldre sågverk. Hjortsberga i södra Sverige är ett exempel på denna typ av förorening och är det område som undersöks i arbetet. Förorenat grundvatten sprids

The concept of industrial symbiosis (IS) provides practical solutions for resource efficiency and low-carbon development. The IS represents a collective, multi-industrial approach for companies to improve their economic and environmental performance through the sharing of heat, electricity, water, by-products, information, and reuse of waste. The main challenges to IS emergence include a long dura

Purpose: Investigate the relation between block ownership and stock liquidity. Methodology: The empirical methods used in this project are of quantitative nature. We use a set of dependent variables representing liquidity measures in order to test how our main explanatory variable, sum of block holdings, affect this. Furthermore, control variables such as market capitalization, share price and vo
