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 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
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 slutsaPurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to bring awareness whether the faculties at the universities is working with its brand identity by using internal branding in order to differentiate themselves, in a world where competition is intensifying and where accreditations threaten to uniform the faculties. Methodology: A qualitative study has been conducted with a hermeneutic phenomenological approa
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
Forskningsfrågor: Hur positioneras och marknadsförs vitt snus i Sverige? Vilka budskap sänder vita snusvarumärken i sin reklam och vilka är dessa budskap riktade till? 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
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
Solcellsparker blir både allt vanligare och allt större. I denna studie undersöks hur storleken och antalet transformatorer i en solcellspark påverkar dennas förmåga att leverera el. De rådande klimatförändringarna är en av de största utmaningar mänskligheten ställts inför. Fossil elproduktion är en stor bidragande faktor till utsläpp av växthusgaser globalt. Solceller ser ut att spela en avgöranThe 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 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.
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
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
Background: Increasing cost effectiveness and productivity are key issues for Haldex. These improvements are obtained through Haldex Way, the overall management and process improvement framework. Haldex Way‟s deployment, progression and assessment are based on a five level Tier model, the concern with Haldex Way Tier model is that its evolution has been inconsistent and the Tier levels have been a
För att bygga ett starkt varumärke krävs enhetlighet och starka värden som delas av samtliga medarbetare inom organisationen. Om tolkningsfriheten då blir för stor leder det till att olika värden och känslor kopplas till varumärket. Olika tolkningar kan sätta sig på olika delar av organisationen, vilket i sin tur förmedlas på ett inkonsekvent sätt till kunden.
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
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
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available to organisms. The detailed mechanism of this enzyme is currently not known, and computational studies are complicated by the fact that different density functional theory (DFT) methods give very different energetic results for calculations involving nitrogenase models. Recently, we designed a [Fe(SH)4H]
An approach to resilient planning and control of autonomous vehicles in multi-vehicle traffic scenarios is proposed. The proposed method is based on model predictive control (MPC), where alternative predictions of the surrounding traffic are determined automatically such that they are intentionally adversarial to the ego vehicle. This provides robustness against the inherent uncertainty in traffic
En studie som kartlägger innemiljön i svenska småhus har länge behövts, speciellt för nyare småhus. Tack vare våra finansiärer blev det möjligt. Ett stort tack till PVF och Formas. Ett tack riktas också till de företagsrepresentanter som har fungerat som referensgrupp och deltagit på PVF:s möten och kommit med idéer och synpunkter på projektet. Ett tack går också till alla media som har hjälpt til
Background: Microbial production of propionic acid (PA) from renewable resources is limited by the slow growth of the producer bacteria and product-mediated inhibition. The present study evaluates high cell density continuous PA fermentation from glycerol (Gly) using Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici DSM 4900 in a membrane-based cell recycling system. A ceramic tubular membrane filter of 0.22
