A statistic released this year (2018) by the World Road Transport Organization shows that more than 80% of inland freight is moved by road. Frequent e-commerce activities and end-consumer demands on delivery performance have increased transport needs yet fill rates have decreased. Transport is less efficient and unsustainable while profit margins also shrink, motivating fiercer competition among s

Current concerns for how unsustainable plastic packaging waste management is and how it negatively affects the environment, combined with the fact that it does not promote a circular economy has given origin to a strategy for plastics in a circular economy defined by the European Commission, in 2018. Thus, this study intended to compare and analyse two different plastic packaging waste recycling s

The paper investigates the financing behavior of firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (SSE) main markets using the pecking order theory. The study also examines the influence of institutional and insider ownership identities on the financing decisions of the firms. Examining a sample of 107 firms from 2009-2017, we found the pecking order theory of corporate financing consistent with firms

The questions of how regions develop over time and new regional growth paths emerge have been widely investigated by economic geographers. This study, with a wide understanding regarding the role of history, enhances our perception on how evolution process acts and what type of dynamics are influential to create a new path development by unfolding the different characteristics of development phase

The research of this thesis aims at exploring, and adding a contribution to, the academic work devoted to analyzing techniques for wildlife management using Foucauldian Biopolitics. This case study researches the attitudes of six pro-wolf people toward techniques for wildlife management. This research finds that in order to understand these attitudes, one has to combine the understanding of biopol

I Bergslagen, Sverige, finns Skandinaviens största tungstenstillgångar, och här har man i årtionden brutit denna värdefulla metall. Brytningen fick dock ett abrupt slut runt 80-talet, men i dagsläget finns planer från prospekterare att återuppta industrin. Bildningsmodellerna för tungstensmineraliseringarna har sedan länge varit omdebatterad, men brett accepterat är att värme från närliggande granCombined U-Pb and REE trace element LA-ICPMS analyses were performed on zircons, from the scheelite-bearing Wigström skarn, associated micro-granitic dykes and the highly evolved parental Högberget (sensu stricto) granite. Combined systematic of zircon typology and microtextures, trace elements and isotopic chemistry suggest the presence of several diverse zircon types, spanning from early- to lat

Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a

The aim of this project is to analyse planetary boundary layer height (BLH) measurements from the Hyltemossa research station and find their dependence on seasonality, time of day, and air temperature. Further, investigation was made into the correlation between mass concentration of particulate matter with equivalent diameter<1μm (PM1) and black carbon (BC) aerosol and the BLH and how this varies

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse how a CSR strategy can create a competitive advantage using the CSR Stage Model in a comparison between MAX and McDonald's. It was found that a majority of consumers value a fast-food restaurant’s CSR work and take that into consideration when choosing between restaurants. Moreover, the survey respondents perceived MAX to be the most sustainable fast-foo
