Due to the environmental impact of food waste and its implications on the economic performance of restaurants, the importance of reducing food waste has taken a central role in the management of restaurants. This paper examines the difficulties which arise in the restaurant industry in their efforts to reduce food waste. In addition the paper aims to answer the following questions: Is food waste p
This research examines the feasibility of initiating process orienting from one interdependent department in a firm. This was accomplished through interviews with the individual roles of the department studied as well as relevant project leaders and department managers on the board of directors. The findings suggest that the approach is viable based on the number of interdependencies mapped in the
This essay seeks to see patterns in parts of the Scottish independence manifest, which was released in connection with the Scottish Independence Referendum, 2014. Three chapters are chosen for their relevance to the purpose. Ideal Types – an analytical tool in Ideology Analysis – are then constructed, based on the theoretical discussion of each ideology earlier presented, for nationalism, regional

Abstract: New ventures’ survival chances are becoming increasingly lower threatening economic growth and the innovation capability of each country. Research on business survival has focussed on many internal and structural drivers, however, there is a large gap regarding external influences, especially the influence of labour market institutions. This thesis fills the gap by extract-ing and analys
This paper investigates the association between economic pull factors and different groups of immigrant inflows in several OECD countries. The aim is to find out to what extent the economic pull-factors in destination countries can have an impact on immigrant inflows. In order to achieve that, the paper starts by considering different theories of migration both at the macro and micro level. Data o
This is a study within the field of philosophy of education that seeks to develop an alternative understanding of inclusion within education in light of current changes in society. It discusses a shift within educational research from the field of diversity education towards the field of democratic education, and argues that an idea of separation between subjects implies a tension in the theory ca
This paper assesses the extent to which cross country empirical data can be used to explain the impact of institutions on economic growth in Africa. It does so by first establishing a theoretical framework on economic growth, focusing particularly on New Institutional Economics, also assessing several other theories that seek to explain economic growth. Having done so this paper analyzes whether i
Det här examensarbetet beskriver ett projekt som har genomförts med Phasor Solutions Ltd om att simulera olika fel som kan uppstå i en sfärisk närfälts skanner (SNFS). En SNFS är ett komplicerat mätsystem som gör det möjligt att göra exakta mätningar för en halvsfär runt antennen som testas. Då frekvenserna som används i skannern är höga, geometrin är komplicerad och att transformation mellan närfThis thesis covers the work that has been carried out with Phasor Solutions Ltd on simulating possible errors in their spherical near field scanner (SNFS). A SNFS is a scanner that enables exact measurement to be taken in a complete hemisphere around an antenna under testing (AUT). Due to the high frequency, complex geometries and the fact that the transformation between near-field and far-field d
This paper analyzes the impact of population growth, GDP per capita and technological improvement on Ethiopia’s carbon dioxide emission in the period 1971-2011. Using a STIRPAT model and Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) l to analyze this impact, the study found that the highly growing population of Ethiopia has the greatest impact on carbon dioxide emission. More specifically, 1% increase i
The growing number of African Presidents on Twitter affirms that media, in all its forms, will always play a fundamental role in contemporary politics. Moreover, based on its face value, the presence of Presidents on Twitter could suggest that citizens are gaining unprecedented access to their president. But, this thesis contends that the newness of Twitter should not blind us into thinking that t
Abstract Syftet med denna uppsats är att visa om det finns några mönster i relationen mellan bokbranschen och filmindustrin genom att undersöka om och i så fall hur förlag och författare bakom filmadapterade böcker använder sig av cross-media promotion i sin marknadsföring. Undersökningen utgår från Oscars-nomineringar i kategorin Bästa film mellan 2011 – 2016. Av alla nomineringar är det 27 styck
Studiens målsättning har varit att ur ett energibesparingsperspektiv samt ekonomiskt perspektiv utvärdera termostatiska cirkulationsventiler (termiska ventiler) som används i varmvattencirkulation (VVC). De frågeställningar som belystes i studien var hur värmeförluster från VVC med termiska respektive fasta ventiler varierar, om det är ekonomiskt lönsamt att installera termiska ventiler jämfört meThe study's objective was, from an energy-saving and economical perspective, evaluate thermostatic circulation valves (thermal valves) used in hot water circulation (HWC). The issues that have been highlighted in the study were how the heat losses from HWC with thermal valves varies from HWC with fixed valves, whether it is economically viable to install thermal valves compared to fixed valves
Studiens syfte är att studera hur Malmberg Borrning AB samlar in och dokumenterar mätdata från driften av geoenergianläggningarna som företaget bygger. Geoenergi är en förnybar energikälla med stor utvecklingspotential i Sverige och det är intressant att studera insamling och dokumentation av mätdata eftersom det är vad som ligger till grund för driftuppföljning och i sin tur teknikutveckling av n
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka varför människor blivit radikaliserade och tillträtt våldsbejakande högerextremistiska organisationer, samt få en inblick och förståelse över upplevelsen som medlem i en våldsbejakande högerextremistisk organisation. Det är därför viktigt att belysa vilka bakomliggande faktorer som kan ha haft en inverkan på radikaliseringen och tillträdandet till de olika v
