Both e-commerce and m-commerce has had and have a big impact on how business today is operated. Furthermore, e-commerce is responsible for creation of many new jobs and its role to the overall economy in Europe is becoming increasingly important. E-commerce is a big part of retail and commerce and is constantly growing. However it is maybe not equally well known that the latest year mobile commerc
This study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the
Mot bakgrund av rådande kunskapsparadigm inom barnpsykiatrin samt förändringar i samhällets syn på barns psykiska hälsa avsåg studien att undersöka föräldrars syn på orsaker till ADHD och om denna kunde kopplas till behandlingsönskemål. Avsikten var att utröna om det fanns ett behov av behandlingsinsatser som adresserade mer än barnets ADHD-problematik. Studien genomfördes som en enkätstudie (N = Given the paradigms which are currently predominant in child and adolescent psychiatry and the changes in the societal view of children’s psychological health, this study examined parental attitudes towards the causes of ADHD and if these were related to choices of treatment. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a need for treatment which addressed more than just the ADHD sympto
This master thesis was partly performed as a field study in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana, located in southern Africa. The semi-arid climate in Botswana together with a rapid financial development in the country during the last decades has increased the need for water. The last years the water situation has been strained in Gaborone, and Gaborone dam which used to be one of the city’s dri
Diabetes Mellitus is a generic term for metabolic diseases were insulin levels are insufficient and in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus insulin also fails to stimulate glucose uptake. Recent findings indicate that cells from the innate immune system could be involved in development of both type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Basophilic granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and contribute to h
Området för hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleavlyssning) och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleövervakning) är ett område som tidvis vållar stor debatt bland jurister och även bland allmänheten. få EU-rättsliga akter har nog varit så medialt uppmärksammade som datalagringsdirektivet som nyligen ogiltigförklarades av Europeiska unionens domstol. DThe area of covert interception of electronic communication (telephone tapping) and covert surveillance of electronic communication (covert telephone surveillance or metering) is an area which at times causes much debate in the legal profession and among the general public as well. There are probably few legal acts of the European Union that have received as much attention in the media as the Data
Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera potentiellt problematiska aspekter av Militära underrättelse- och säkerhetstjänstens (MUST) sociala struktur, samt att belysa samspelet mellan organisationskultur och förändringsarbete. Studien görs utifrån underrättelseanalytikerns perspektiv och fokus är på det som är relevant för den analytiska processen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats, där datainsamThe purpose of this study is to identify potentially problematic aspects of the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MUST) social structure, as well as highlighting the relationship between organizational culture and change management. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on the perspective of the intelligence analyst, with focus on relevance to the analytical process. The theo
"We shall make it easy for the customer to choose the right for a sustainable development". An analysis of the two fuel companies' communication of responsibilities regarding climate and envi-ronmental issues. This master thesis examines how two fuel companies rhetorically communicates its view of responsibility for environmental and climate issues on their websites. In order to prov
Bakgrund: Den här studien undersöker elevers upplevelse av ljudmiljön i grundskolan. Forskning visar att dålig ljudmiljö försämrar bland annat taluppfattning och arbetsminne. Man har sett att barn påverkas i större utsträckning än vuxna men det finns få studier som undersöker hur de själva upplever ljudmiljön. En enkät utvecklades 2013 i England för att undersöka detta. Syftet med denna studie är
This study presents U-Pb baddeleyite ages for five dolerite dykes and one sill in the Mesoarchean granitic basement of south-easternmost Kaapvaal Craton in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The oldest dyke is ENE-trending, and is dated to 2729 ± 5 Ma. One ENE- and two SE-trending dyke are dated to 2580 ± 3 Ma, 2574 ± 5 Ma and ˃2517 ± 5 Ma (minimum age for the latter given by the 207Pb/206Pb da
In this report, a method was developed for quantitative validation of alternative fire protection designs. The report shows that uncertainties in calculations for fire protection and the fire protection devices in buildings are not often taken into account. If the method are used correctly it can serve as a guidance for quantitative validation of alternative fire protection. The method consists of
The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme
The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils via erroneous folding, also known as misfolding, occurs in several diseases. As a consequence, the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process is currently intensely pursued. Here, we study a minimalistic lattice-based model for amyloid formation using Monte Carlo techniques to sample the grand canonical ensemble, where the chemical pot
The bearing capacity of road E22 from Hurva to Linderöd is analyzed using data from Falling Weight Deflectometer, FWD. A new method called Traffic Speed Deflectometer, TSD, is analyzed and compared to data from FWD to determine the application range of the new method. In addition to these analyzes, various bearing capacity dimensions are explained and used for both methods. From the FWD data a bac
An insulating glass unit (IGU) normally consists of two or three glass panes which are separated by a spacer. The spacer creates a cavity between the glass panes which is filled with a gas to increase the insulating capacity of the IGU. To keep the gas in the cavity and to stop vapor from getting in, the cavity has to be hermetically sealed. This makes the IGU sensitive to pressure change and volu
Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till ny kunskap samt en djupare förståelse för intressentinvolvering i platsvarumärkesutvecklande och på vilket sätt detta kan vara värdeskapande för ett platsvarumärke som helhet. Detta genom att undersöka hur Helsingborgs stad arbetar med att involvera sina intressenter i sitt platsvaru-märkesarbete, genom projektet Sveriges matstad, och hur denna involveringThe purpose of this study is to gain new perspectives and a deeper understanding regarding stakeholder involvement in place branding, and in which ways this can be of value in the development of a place brand. This by examining how Helsing-borg city is working to involve their stakeholders in their place branding strategy, through their project Sveriges Matstad, and how this involvement is perceiv
The manufacturing and use of nanoparticles has rapidly increased over the last years. There is a growing concern about potential negative enviromental effects, particularli to aquatic systems, due to the high probability of nanoparticles ending up in these systems. It is of the highest importance to anderstand nanoparticles toxicity and behavior in the natural environment, so a complete risk asses
