Problem definition Sustainability in fashion is one of tomorrow’s most important focuses but is not yet fully established in the industry, neither from the side of the business nor the customer. Customers’ statements tend to show an interest of sustainable fashion, but it is not quite so visible in the sales shares related to sustainable fashion products, which in turn can make sustainable fashion
In surveillance applications one thing to consider is how much of a scene one can cover with a camera. One way to augment this is to take images with overlap and blend them, creating a new image with bigger field of view and thereby increase the scene coverage. In this thesis work we have been looking at how one can create panorama images with a pan-tilt-camera and how fast it can be done. We chos
The three major components of short-crust cookie dough are flour, sugar, and fat. Since high fat contents have been shown to have a major effect on the development of the gluten network, studying how these ingredients could affect the texture of the dough and the baked product became interesting. In addition, there are no existing methods on short crust cookie dough that allow predicting the chara
Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live. A catalyst for any debate over a theory of justice, Immanuel Kant’s work provides a fundamental basis from which we should begin to understand why society, with justice as a k
Private retail banking is a central aspect of contemporary life in Sweden. By engaging in banking actions and activities, individuals are able to access money, make payments and commercial transactions, and aim to organize and control private finances. Through the introduction of banking onto digital platforms, handheld devices and plastic cards, banking has become more flexible, mobile and indivi
In general, non-government organizations (NGOs) are regarded as charity and humanitarian advocacy agents in developing and developed countries. With globalization, NGOs have been influenced by commercialization and some of them started to run commercial activities. This essay studies whether commercialization plays a major role for NGOs in making them sustainable over time in Sweden. I have interv
The proposed evaluation process concluded with providing some suggestions for the stockyard that helps S:t Eriks Staffanstorp to work in a more time efficient way, to achieve a better customer service related to shipping times. The solution is divided into two different ideas: storing according the ABC analysis assigning the areas close to the shipping area the A products, and the second one is fo
In 2006, Nicaragua installed a complete ban on abortion, which spurred much debate in Nicaraguan civil society and had a strongly negative effect on women’s rights and lives. Previous research has dealt with the abortion discourses and found that much of it makes out a conflict between protecting the life of the fetus or that of the woman. However, there have also been found arguments relating to
Prescriptive building codes have been used for many years and created a common sense regarding what an adequate fire safety design and an acceptable level of risk is. Introducing performance based building codes brought architectural flexibility, more bespoke design, and cost-benefit analysis into fire safety design previously not possible in a number of different building types. Alternative Solut
Globally, aviation biofuel (biojet) technology has reached a degree of progress that allows immediate substitution of conventional fossil fuel in commercial air travel. However,numerous factors constitute an impediment to its large-scale use and deployment: a diagnostic analysis identifying key obstacles to biojet development is needed. For this reason, an examination of actors, institutions and a
CO2 Catalysis has been studied with Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) in combination with a mass spectrometer for a small, 23 cubic centimeters, cube shaped flow reactor. Both catalysis processes with one and with two catalysts inside the reactor have been carried out and analysed. Some results have been visualised by images showing concentration, given by the PLIF signal, of CO2 inside the
The aggregation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) into amyloid fibrils and plaques is one culprit to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Once a small concentration of amyloid fibrils has formed through primary nucleation, a fibril-catalysed secondary nucleation takes over, leading to a close to exponential growth. Here, we have investigated the effect of five (J46, I48, J44, I68 and J7) out of twelve previo
Assimulo is a Python-based workbench for solving differential equations with the goal of making a multitude of solver meth- ods available through a higher-level interface. By generalizing the problem description, a user is able to apply any solver of their choice without having to redefine the original problem. Fol- lowing these guidelines, a set of wrappers have been developed to extend Assimulo
The purpose of this study was to identify the reasons behind the employees noncompliant purchasing behavior at Company X. Another aim was to find the solutions to the reasons behind the non-compliant purchasing behavior to change that behavior. This study was carried out by following an abductive approach, where a qualitative case study research was conducted. The chosen case study method was a mu
Problem Discussion: Nissan Diesel became a part of the Volvo Group in the end of March, 2007. A year has passed and the integration process is making progress but it is perceived to lack some momentum. Our sponsor would like to understand if there are any potential barriers to the integration process. (Haspeslagh, et al., 1991) and (Pablo, 1994) presents two different sets of determinants that can
Kevin Roberts has extended the comprehension of strong consumer brands to a higher level where loyalty beyond reason is established. He calls this new status Lovemarks. As the concept of Lovemark has only been applied in B2C markets, this thesis is directed to find out the applicability of Lovemarks in B2B context. In order to fulfill the research purpose, three main questions are answered based o
