Implementation of platooning concept from business perspective.

Platooning is a way of how different transport companies could reduce fuel consumption and increase efficiency and safety. Concept implies that group of vehicles is driving in a convoy or string on the highway with close distance at particular speed with a help of driving assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control or cooperative cruise control. Several projects describe how platoonin

"Be yourself, vi accepterar det" -En studie om utmaningar vid nära relationer på ett mindre bankkontor

Vår studie syftar till att undersöka och belysa vilka utmaningar som uppkommer vid nära relationer i en mindre arbetsgrupp. Det gör vi utifrån frågeställningarna vilken påverkan har den mindre gruppens dynamik och styrning på dess enskilda individer och vilken roll spelar gruppdynamiken för uppkomsten av utmaningar. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats på ett mindre bankkontor i södra S

Utveckling av Androidapplikation med C# och .NET

This exam work has been carried by Omegapoint AB. The goal with this exam work was to develop a digital booking system with C# and .NET. With the help of the booking system the company employees would be able to book, change and cancel the conference room booking. To reduce the risk of time delay and to reach the results that would fit the client's goal. The decision was made that the developm

The 'real' marketers Destination Branding and Marketing 2.0

Due to an increasing ease of access to social media outlets, more tourists than ever are able to share their comments, images and videos of travel experiences. As such this user generated content is said to have more of an impact than professionally produced content on the decisions of prospective travellers. On this basis the major objective of this study is to identify the overall perspectives h

Integration of powdered activated carbon in tertiary disc filtration of wastewater

Mikroföroreningar är små molekyler som är restprodukter från t.ex. läkemedel, hormoner, kosmetika samt mikroplaster. Då majoriteten av dessa inte renas i våra avloppsreningsverk har mikroföroreningarna börjat ackumuleras i vattendrag och dess negativa inverkan på vattenlevande djur har börjat uppmärksammas. En av metoderna för att ta hand om och avskilja mikroföroreningarna i reningsprocessen är This thesis investigates the feasibility of integrating Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in to chemical treatment in combination with disc filtration of tertiary wastewater. Jar and tube tests have been performed, where the suspension was filtered through a 10 μm disc filter from Hydrotech Veolia Water Technologies. The effluent has been analyzed for total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids (T

The study examines how a slogan affect Brand Equity in an industry categorised by tough competition and where the companies offer similar services. Methodology: A qualitative study with a hermeneutic approach and a constructivist ontological perspective has been implemented. The thesis scientific ap

Investigation of cracking due to restraint forces in Swedish concrete slab frame bridges

När betongplattrambroar modelleras med moderna linjära 3D FE-modeller kommer stora dragkrafter att uppstå i brons tvärriktning från temperatur- och krympningslasterna. Dessa tvångskrafter är då mycket större än vad som har beaktats i de äldre 2D modellerna. Detta leder till att den tvärgående armeringsmängden, som beräknas i 3D-modellerna, är mycket större än vad som har varit norm innan. Denna avWhen concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,

Analysis of Jointless Bridges due to Horizontal Actions and Soil-Structure Interaction

Broar som konstrueras utan kopplingar och lager fungerar så att de ska ta upp krafter via moment i ramhörn eller liknande. Integrerade broar i olika utformningar byggs över hela världen, och är populära på grund av dess enkla utformning och fördelar rörande livscykelkostnader. Vanligtvis tenderar dimensionerna, då i synnerhet ändskärmarna, att bli väldigt tunga och tungt armerade. Genom att tillgoBridges constructed without joints function to take care of forces by introducing bending moments to the stiff connections. Jointless bridges, also called integral bridges, in different appearances are built all over the world, and are popular due to their advantages regarding life cycle cost. Usually the dimensions of the structural parts, especially the backwalls, tends to be large and the eleme

Asymmetric Alliance Formation from the Small Business Perspective

Purpose – This paper attempts to improve our understanding of strategic asymmetric alliance formation within the field of entrepreneurship. We employ previous research findings on alliance formation and power relationships to examine the alliance formation tactics of startups. Accordingly, we aim to answer the question: ‘How do entrepreneurs build ties with comparably larger and more established c

Earnings Management and the Cost of Publicly Issued Debt

The purpose of this study is to empirically test whether earnings management (both accruals-based and real) has an impact on the cost of public debt (approximated by credit ratings and bond yields) issued on the European bond market. Using a cross-sectional approach, accruals-based and real earnings management are estimated. The estimates are then used as explanatory variables in both an ordered r

A gender perspective on retirement patterns in Europe: The role of work-related characteristics in explaining cross-country differences in retirement decisions

This study addresses the question whether – and to what extent – work-related characteristics can explain the differences in retirement rates across thirteen European countries. To answer the research question from a gender perspective, a logistic regression and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis is conducted for the female and male population in each of the selected countries based on data fro

Jag sticker inte under stol med att jag behöver få ut något av det själv. En kvalitativ studie om motivens betydelse för volontärers engagemang i frivilligt socialt arbete.

Volunteers fill an important function in the social work that constantly and in various ways goes on in our society. Without the volunteers' involvement there is a risk that many more people fall between the cracks than actually do, even in the Swedish welfare state. Since volunteers are people whose resources are finite, it is important to gain insight into what motivates, encourages and even
