Ecotourism is the fastest growing segment of the global tourism industry and therefore it is important to

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en överblick över det nya, men snabbt växande, konceptet crowdsourcing. Konceptet kan enkelt beskrivas som en åtgärd att ta en uppgift som vanligtvis utförs av en utsedd arbetspresterande part (vanligtvis en anställd) och outsourca denna till en odefinerad, anonym och generellt stort grupp av människor i form av en ”öppen inbjudan”. Marknaden har under det senastThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the new, but rapidly growing, concept of crowdsourcing. The basis of the concept can be described as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.

They have to utilise capabilities in a unique way in order to internationalise rapidly and successfully. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to gain insig

Sedan 1950-talet har antalet bilar per person i Sverige ökat. Med en negativ påverkan på miljön såväl som på människors hälsa, representerar privat ägande av fordon en av de största utmaningarna i transportplanering. Att flytta resenärer från privata fordon till kollektivtrafik har visat sig fördelaktigt beträffande att minska koldioxidutsläppen, dock kräver denna typ av mobilisering politisk styr

Newly constructed building stocks have been decreasing in last decades; thus, renovation and retrofitting represent a large amount of opportunities to upgrade the building performance and energy efficiency of building assets in their life span, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An overall assessment of a lighting retrofit project can support to judge the quality of a retrofit as good

Differences in political orientation are partly rooted in personality, with left-wing political attitudes being predicted by Openness to Experience and right-wing attitudes by Conscientiousness.

Detta genom att intervjua nio stycken klimataktivister. I intervjuerna beskrivs klimatproblemen som å ena sidan att de ekonomiska lagarnas är överordnade

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Academic research has tried to explain the challenges women in executive positions face in connection to work-life balance, glass ceiling and the gender gap in management. However, these previous studies have been made mainly quantitatively. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the numbers by using a qualitative research approach. This thesis has collected in-depth data through interviews with
