Denna uppsats behandlar det nya direktivets betydelse för möjligheterna att ställa krav på sociala hänsyn. Det innefattar även den utveckling som har skett på området sociala hänsyn i övrigt. Direktivet innebär inga större förändringar avseende sociala häThe new directive on public procurement, the European Parliament and Council Directive 2014/24/EU, is to be implemented in Swedish law by the year 2016. This paper discusses the new directive’s significance for opportunities to make demands on social considerations. It also includes the development that has taken place in the area of social considerations in general. The directive involves no maj

Syfte: Uppsatsen syfte är att utöka förståelsen kring huruvida fakulteter vid ett universitet arbetar med sin märkesidentitet med hjälp av internal branding för att differentierar sig i en värld där konkurrensen hårdnar och ackrediteringar riskerar att likforma fakulteterna. Metod: En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med ett hermeneutistiskt fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt. Den analys och slutsa

This thesis deals with the matter of competitive balance in European club football. Its starting point is UEFA’s new set of regulations known as Financial Fair Play. These new rules officially started to be active for the season 2013-2014. The ground rule for FFP as I will call it further on, is the so-called “break-even” criterion, and cancels the possibility for clubs to make losses at the end o

EU är ett komplext och unikt politiskt samarbete som sedan sin expansion i och med Maastrichtfördraget 1992 har kommit att omfatta flera nya kompetensområden, såsom sociala, rättsliga och säkerhetspolitiska frågor, från att tidigare huvudsakligen ha hanterat ekonomiska frågor. Samarbetet innebär nu hantering av frågor av olika grad av känslighet för medlemsländerna. Vår undersökning ämnar till at

This paper takes off in the rapidly growing fields of financial independence and financial literacy. We develop a model focusing on reaching financial independence during retirement and mitigate financial decision making for financially illiterate. The model is based on theoretical research within financial literacy, economic life-cycle and safe withdrawal rates. To ensure qualified monthly saving

The main focus of this thesis has been to examine and compare how the size and number of internal power transformers affects the technical performance (robustness, power quality and efficiency) of a utility-scale PV plant. The technical performance was examined in a simulation environment (MATLAB Simulink), where a PV plant with a fixed number of PV arrays and converters, corresponding to a rated

This master's thesis explores how organisations manage and measure performance through performance measurement systems. Though as performance management systems often relies on ad-hoc, informal methods, leading to inconsistencies and misalignment with organizational objectives. This study advocates for a systematic approach to performance management system implementation, aligning it with orga

The global business environment has changed rapidly during the past decades; part of that change is the concept of Born Globals. Small and emerging companies are deviating from the traditional globalisation models with incremental steps to internationalisation in favour of turning global from inception. When a Born Global firm acquires Venture Capital, new demands on efficiency and returns are set

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur det vita snuset är positionerat och marknadsförs på den svenska marknaden för valda fallföretag samt undersöka vilka budskap de sänder, för att bidra till teorin med insikter om positionResearch question: How is white snus positioned and marketed in Sweden? What messages do white snus brands convey in their advertising, and who are these messages targeted towards? Purpose: The aim of the study is to describe how white snus is positioned and marketed in the Swedish market for selected case companies, as well as to examine the messages they convey, in order to contribute to the the

The stability of the Nystrom method for the Muskhelishvili equation on piecewise smooth simple contours Gamma is studied. It is shown that in the space L-2 the method is stable if and only if certain operators A tau(j) from an algebra of Toeplitz operators are invertible. The operators A tau(j) depend on the parameters of the equation considered, on the opening angles theta(j) of the corner points

We consider several simple combinatorial problems and discuss different ways to express them using polynomial equations and try to describe the Gröbner basis of the corresponding ideals. The main instruments are complete symmetric polynomials that help to express different conditions in rather compact way.

After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict. As this also coincided with a rise of mass communications and increased education more people than e

Dagens Nyheter etablerade under våren 2022 lokala redaktioner i Luleå och Umeå med syftet att förmedla nyhetshändelser från Norrland till en rikspublik. Sedan uppstarten i mars 2022 till tidpunkten för genomförandet av denna studie har runt 180 artiklar producerats av redaktionens reportrar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur Norrland representeras och gestaltas i Dagens Nyheter och ifall etaDuring the spring of 2022, the Stockholm-based newspaper Dagens Nyheter established two newsrooms in the cities Luleå and Umeå located in the north of Sweden. The purpose was to communicate news events from Norrland to a national audience. From the start of the newsrooms until the time of this study, around 180 articles were published. The aim of this study is to investigate how the region of Nor

The frequent restocking of stores and constant promotional offers associated with fast fashion presents the physical cues for consumers to engage in fashion-oriented impulse buying. This consumption behaviour has led to over consumption and the underutilization of clothes, adding to the problems of textile waste all over the world. Despite the increasing interest in consumers’ disposition behaviou

Denna uppsats syftar till att utvärdera ett förslag till ett integritetsdesignmönster. Utvärde-ringen sker genom att samla in litteratur som rör integritetsfrågor och fenomen för att se vilka faktorer som är relevanta att ta i beaktande för vårt mönster. Den empiriska delen av uppsat-sen består sedan av utvärderingar från personer som har en expertis i integritetsfrågor. I mötet mellan litterature

This thesis investigates the effects of monetary policy on investments by venture capital firms. Modeling central banks’ interest rates and various macroeconomic variables on venture capital investments, we find a statistically significant relationship whereby expansive monetary policy is correlated with more investment in startups by venture capital. The panel data models use data from 2000 to 20

In the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

This thesis experiments with the data structure of a sparse voxel octree (SVO)to see if it may improve the performance of empty space ray marching in volumes. While ray marching is a somewhat new technique it is used more often in traversal of volumes. It can be used for realistic volumetric effects in computer games or it can be used in the medical field when examining and visualizing MRI scans.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur revisorer gör sina professionella bedömningar och därigenom skapa en djupare förståelse för varför revisorer tolkar och granskar företags finansiella rapporter på detta sätt. Denna tvärsnittsstudie grundar sig i konstruktivism där materialet samlats in enligt kvalitativ forskningsdesign. Vidare bidrar uppsatsen med ett hermeneutiskt synsätt på revisorns be

This thesis in collaboration with ESS proposes a workflow for developing, deploying, and integrating machine learning models into the control system. Machine learning offers a promising potential for control systems but often introduces technical debt, with the actual model code representing only a small fraction of the total code base. To address this a data-centric process is proposed for retrie
