The Danes’ have the highest municipal waste generation per capita in the European Union and it is estimated that 40% of residual waste is biowaste. Fortunately, it is possible to address environmental pressures and counteract resource loss from incineration by the process of bio-gasification of collected biowaste in Denmark. However, despite efforts to reduce barriers of convenience and accessibil
This thesis analyses development patterns in the BRICS from a long term perspective by focusing on key issues such as economic specialisation, GDP growth contribution and growth patterns. Moreover, it is also featured a discussion regarding human development indicators. In essence, this approach provides a thorough overview of the process of economic development in the countries analysed. Regardin
The purpose of this study is to gain insights on what evokes consumer trust for (environmental) sustainability communication and shed light on how this trust impacts consumers’ perception of sustainability. A literature review and qualitative data collection, combining four focus groups and nine interviews, were the basis for a discussion on this topic. This study found that what evokes trust in s
The purpose of this study is to reveal and enable a deeper understanding and provide a more refined view on the intersections of employer branding, and (dis)identification, through the empirical focus on Millennials, based in the hospitality context. This is investigated by asking two research questions: “how is the employer brand presented to Millennials in Hotels International?” and “how is the
Denna studie syftar till att öka kunskapen kring hur reklam med icke-stereotypa porträtt av mansrollen upplevs av unga män (16-24 år). Vidare syftar den till att undersöka relationen mellan dessa porträtt och dess avsändare genom att belysa hur varumärket bakom reklamen påverkar upplevelsen. Då tidigare studier främst fokuserat på kvinnors upplevelser av icke-stereotyp reklam bidrar denna studie mThe purpose of this paper is to increase the knowledge of how commercials depicting non-stereotypical portrayals of the male role is experienced by young men (16-24 years). The aim is also to investigate the relationship between these portrayals and their senders by shedding light on how the brands behind the commercials affects the experiences. Since previous studies mainly have focused on women’
Several researchers have investigated the relationship between credit risk and stock returns, but their findings are ambiguous. While some have found the anomalous relationship that investors pay a negative risk premium when investing in high credit risk stocks, others have presented opposing results. This non-consensus and intriguing results motivated us to further investigate this relationship b
The solar and thermal performance of window is subject to a wide range of parameters. To simulate the energy performance is therefore difficult, and limitations might occur depending on the complexity of each case. This study presents some of the current limitations related to the assessment of window considering solar and thermal performance into the policy framework (standards, regulations and c
This thesis aims to examine an efficient asset and liability management method under Solvency II regulations, and to find an optimization framework that takes complex interactions between assets and liabilities into account. The investigated approach consists of a least-squares Monte Carlo method, where least-squares regression is used to obtain a proxy function for future net asset values. A fair
I en tid med hårdare konkurrens än någonsin, är det viktigt att hitta vägar att sticka ut. I ett tidigare projekt i samarbete med ledande kartong- och förpackningstillverkaren Smurfit Kappa AB utvecklades en display för gemensam exponering av kylda och icke kylda varor i livsmedelsbutiker. Systemet bestod av en modul kyld med peltierelement placerad i en golvstående kartongdisplay. Detta examensa
Economists have for a long time tried to explain the motivations behind bequests, why they exist and how they are divided. In Sweden, most bequests are equally divided, which raises the question of what motivates this decision even if there is a will written. This study aims to empirically examine if the Swedish decedents divide their bequests to make up for economic differences among their heirs.
Acidification and eutrophication are central environmental problems in Sweden, which effects biodiversity. The Swedish forestry may contribute significantly to these environmental problems. The forestry measures that may have a major impact on nitrogen levels in groundwater and increased soil acidification are harvesting, fertilization and whole-tree harvesting. Studies have shown that even storm
This paper aims at demystifying the agile way of working and to improve the understanding of the concept. We do this through a case study of a large bank which initiated a transition to agile five years ago, a transition which can be categorised as an attempt to shift from being bureaucracy to post-bureaucracy. To reach our aim, we engaged in in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysi
Do monetary unions between developing economies support sustainable economic development for the members? Previous research has only considered traditional research methods to examine costs and benefits of monetary unions in developing regions. This thesis applies new measures to determine how the operation of institutions encounters specific problems of developing economies for the case of the Co
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a big consideration in the automotive industry. In order to create an as pleasant driving experience as possible for the driver, NVH should be minimized. One of the sources of NVH comes from the transmission due to the synchronization process. When shifting between gears, the speeds of the target gear and the output shaft it is supported by, have to be synch
The purpose of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of how “nätvandrare” and “chat supporters” experience the problem of cyberbullying based on a norm perspective. We are using these two groups as temperature sensors. We are studying young people from “Nätvandrare” and “chatsupporters” point of view. Cyberbullying is a subject that is constantly growing in line with digitalization. In th
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of gamification on online trust, testing the impact through the use of an e-commerce website, Ebay. The objective of the paper is to discover how a certain type of visual design element implemented on websites impacts users’ extent of online trust. Specifically, this thesis focuses on the use of gamified elements as a website design tool to i
Limited access to formal banking leaves large shares of the population in developing countries underbanked or unbanked. One tool believed to enhance financial inclusion is the financial service mobile money, which has spread quickly especially in Africa. The mobile service offers payment, transfer and banking services to low rates and without the need of a bank account. In Lesotho, mobile money wa
