Temporarily unavailable products in the grocery retail environment cause problems for multiple parties, resulting in possible sales losses for retailers and high dissatisfaction among consumers. With price promoted products being twice as often out-of-stock (OOS) as regular-priced items, the need for a further understanding of reactions to price promoted products is evident. The purpose of this th

The main goal of this research was to identify the materials and/or approaches that would allow the decrease of oxygen ingress with resulting shelf-life extension. Both flexible (pouch) and rigid (bottles) packaging has bee

Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på varför vissa konsumenter väljer att handla ekologiskt och vad som är deras drivkrafter. För att undersöka dessa motivationsfaktorer används en kvalitativ metod där tio ekologiska konsumenter har djupintervjuats och en fokusgruppintervju med fyra konsumenter har genomförts. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av kunder som kontinuerligt handlar i butikerna Sju

The Brazilian tax system is known to be very complex. The main reasons to that is presumably the fact that the federalist pact adopted by the Brazilian Federal Constitution gives a considerable autonomy to all federal entities (the federal government, the states, the Federal District and the municipalities) to impose levies. Besides that, the Brazilian tax system is composed by numerous levies, su

Beginning with the question of whether, and how, gender equality can be measured, this thesis is written with the ambition to evaluate one aspect of the Swedish government’s equality goal, equality in power and influence, with the help of an index. It departs from a discussion within the field of gender studies where gender equality is found to be an “empty” word that can be used for a variety of

Allt fler organisationer med en house of brands arkitektur, vilket kännetecknas av att företagsvarumärket döljs bakom flertalet olika fristående, välkända produktvarumärken, har på senare tid lagt ner stora resurser på att kommunicera det övergripande företagsvarumärket. Således kan ett skifte och en ny trend identifieras i hur organisationer med denna struktur interagerar med sin marknad. Denna sToday, more and more organisations with a house of brands architecture, characterized by a strong company brand and several independent, well-known product brands, are using a large amount of resources on communicating the company brand. This development indicates a shift in how organisations with this architecture operates on the market. This study aims to examine how organisations use branding s

We decompose the monthly Swedish consumer confidence index into a rational part based on fundamentals and an irrational part based on exogenous, irrational beliefs. Subsequently, we investigate the impact of investor irrationality and its short-term predictability on industry returns in Sweden. In addition, we provide an explanation to the reason some industries are more prone to investor sentimen

By using a quantitative method, handing out questionnaires to 145 young adults in upper secondary schools in Skåne, we asked questions about their perceived mental health and how normal or stigmatizing they regarded help-seeking in general. In scientific studies and governmental reports regarding

Studien har som syfte att analysera om centralbankerna har ändrat sitt sätt att föra flexibel penningpolitik efter finanskrisen. Studien väljer att lägga till huspriser som en förklarande variabel då denna faktor var en bakomliggande del av finanskrisen och anses vara intressant att studera i sammanhanget. Studien har utgått ifrån Taylor-regeln som har bevisats kunna förklara räntesättningen av ce

Surrogate motherhood and whether it should be legalized or not, has been a controversial area in Sweden. Swedish law has not any evident legislation prohibiting surrogate motherhood, but existing law can be interpreted as not allowing such arrangements. Due to that, many couples in Sweden are going abroad in order to implement surrogate arrangements. Therefore, some problems have occurred when the

In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. The calculation is first performed theoretically, highlighting the expansion of the result into a diagrammatic structure referred to as Witte

EU:s regelverk om offentlig upphandling uppdaterades 2014 och snart kommer uppdateringen i den svenska lagtexten. Det blir nu ännu tydligare att det är tillåtet att ställa miljökrav vid offentlig upphandling. Det är en vanlig uppfattning att det inte går att upphandla varor, tjänster och byggnadsverk med bättre miljöprestanda eftersom att de traditionellt sett inte kan konkurrera med kriteriet ”This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP. The study of EU-legislation shows that the possibility to request b

Thesis Purpose: This study has a twofold purpose. First, the authors want to contribute to research on idea evaluation in the fuzzy front end by specifically shedding light on the food industry as this sector differs from other industries (Galizzi & Venturini, 1996; Tidd & Bessant, 2014; Triguero, Córcoles & Cuerva, 2013). Second, different evaluation criteria will be outlined for high

Denna uppsats baseras på min översättning av utdrag ur romanen Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963) av Elena Garro och utgör mitt examensarbete för översättarprogrammet vid Lunds universitet år 1.
