Back in the mid 1900s, Zimbabwe was one of the most developed states in Africa with well-established infrastructure and a flourish economy thanks to inter alia agricultural exports and industries, among other things. A survey has been performed in order to evaluate the socio-economic conditions in Zimbabwe. This paper uses the fore mentioned study to investigate the challenges and problems that ca

Delivery lead time (DLT) is seen as one of the most important service factors affecting the consumers willingness to fulfill a purchase within online retailing (Esperet al., 2003). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect variations in the offered DLT have on customer conversion rate within e-commerce. This is done by analyzing historical online customer demand data from a case comp

This survey study analyzes correlations between disturbances in sleep, screen time, physical activity and perceived stress among young people at a secondary school in the south of Sweden. Bivariate correlations, simple linear regressions and a multiple linear regression analysis were made to try to understand the relationship between the dependent variable of sleep disturbances measured with the “

Big data is becoming ever increasingly important in every kind of scientific field, and data visualization is a big part of gaining an understanding of the data. Exploring data builds on intuition but exploring some data on a 2D screen can remove some of the intuition that is gained by exploring in 3 dimensions. Navigation of data visualization programs are often complex and slow to move through.

The project sets in Prishtina, Kosovo, and explores the oasis of a park in the middle of the intense city. The different movements created by us, has led to the interest of developing architectural fragments of stops to activate the park and further extend the public use of the National Library: a way of creating new movements in order to connect them two together. “A search for the path of total

In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an

The purpose of this paper is to examine levels of fatigue in a submarine crew using a modified watchkeeping schedule. By conducting a quantitative study, based on a survey carried out on a Swedish submarine crew, this paper uses a theory-consuming method in order to clarify if a modified watchkeeping schedule is able to maintain sufficient levels of readiness. This paper revolves around the thesis

Uppkopplade enheter, eller Internet of Things (IoT), blir alltmer vanliga i våra hem vilket resulterar i ett behov att fjärrstyra dem. Man kan åstadkomma detta via app- likationer som distribueras av tillverkarna av dessa IoT enheter, vilket kan resultera i att du behöver flertalet applikationer för att kontrollera dina IoT enheter. Problem kan också uppstå när man ska namnge sina IoT enheter, detAs connected devices, or Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming increasingly more common in our homes we need a way to control them remotely. Remote control can be achieved with native applications created by the providers of these IoT devices which can result in you needing several applications to control your IoT devices. Furthermore, issues can arise when naming your IoT devices, e.g. if they a

The purpose of this paper is to compare the outcome between naval gunfire support and strategic effect during the Falklands War. By conducting a qualitative case study regarding the effects of naval gunfire support and its effect on a unit combat effectiveness, using Ben Shalits Sequential Adjustment Model, the study will attempt to find out how a military unit is affected by stress and demoraliza

Sedan år 2000 har 52% av företagen på Fortune-500 gått i konkurs på grund av bland annat ökad konkurrens och nya krav från kunder. Detta ställer större krav på hur företag arbetar med innovation som sägs vara en av de viktigaste faktorerna för företags framtida överlevnad. Dock visar det sig att omsätta teorin i praktiken är utmanande och inom forskningen saknas en enhetlig definition om vad innovThe average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee

Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups. The problem today is that some building features, which are needed to estimate the renovation

Svenskarnas privata konsumtion orsakar utsläpp motsvarande cirka sju ton koldioxidekvivalenter per person och år. Det är sju gånger mer än den utsläppsnivå som krävs för att Sverige ska kunna nå målet om att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till under två grader, i enlighet med Parisavtalet. Trots det finns det ingen aktör som är uttalat ansvarig för att minska dessa utsläpp. Frågan kompliceras Despite the fact that local and household levels are causing large amounts of the greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden, global climate policy has mainly focused on international and national solutions when coping with climate change mitigation. The aim of this study is to unearth and discuss measures that municipalities can use in order to mitigate the climate impact of their citizens. The method us

Vi betalar i allt mindre utsträckning med kontanter i Sverige, något som leder till strukturella förändringar. Dessa tar sig uttryck i att bankomater plockas bort och affärer slutar hantera kontanter. Personer med funktionsnedsättningar omnämns som en särskilt utsatt grupp i ett kontantfritt samhälle, speciellt när tillgången till digitala betalningsmedel är begränsad. Samtidigt har Sverige en amb

Talmy’s typology of motion events has been studiously explored from a range of angles, but few have focussed on the domain of caused motion. The few languages that have been studied in the domain of caused motion did not include Farsi. This thesis covers this research gap, and provides a first account of one type of caused motion, namely placement events, in Farsi, with the aim of finding out if t

The work with climate change must be structured hierarchically, with global agreements at the top and local authorities and individuals at the bottom. Although, while climate adaptation is recognized at the global scale, there are challenges getting the adaptive actions implemented in practice at the local level. Knowledge about climate adaptation cannot be generally communicated, rather it must a

The purpose of this study is to examine if the Eurozone is an Optimal Currency Area (OCA) or not. To do this we have examined if the European Central Banks monetary policy announcements have a significant impact on the equity markets and on the 10-year government bond yields in the Eurozone. We examine this by looking at eleven different countries in the Eurozone. These are: Germany, France, Belgi
