Title: Exploring Expectations of an Unattended Delivery Service: A Case Study in Sweden Author: Mary Catherine Osman Supervisor: Daniel Hellström Purpose of Paper: The goal of this thesis is to better understand Swedish consumers’ expectations of an unattended delivery box system such as Nowaste’s E-drop. Methodology: This thesis answers its research question through a series of case studies in w
Ett fullt mekaniskt rotationsbromssystem aktiverat och reglerat av vinkelacceleration har utvecklats av Brillianze Sweden AB. Bromsens användningsområde ska utökas och därför skapades modeller för flerkroppsdynamiska simuleringar i Adams/View. Det är första gången forskning eller simulationer har gjorts på systemet. Det huvudsakliga målet med avhandlingen var att bekräfta och fortsatt undersöka bA fully mechanical rotational brake system activated and regulated by rate of change in angular velocity has been developed by Brillianze Sweden AB. Its field of usage is currently limited and is to be expanded upon. Therefore new models were made to perform multibody dynamics simulations in Adams/View. This is the first time any research or simulations have been made on this specific brake system
Discriminatory behavior on the basis of sexual orientation challenges the economic problem, as it causes inequal access to the job and housing markets. In this study, I measure and analyze discriminatory behavior against same sex couples through a field experiment in the Portuguese housing rental market. This is the first attempt at conducting a correspondence field experiment testing for discrimi
Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. Matola is one of the most populous cities in Mozambi
Archaeobotany and GIS are closely linked with archaeology, it is hard to imagine a modern archaeological investigation without them. The two appear to complement each other. GIS links highly complex sets of data with space, and offers a range of analytical tools. Archaeobotanists look for patterns in data over time and space to interpret human behaviour. Yet GIS is underused in archaeobotany. Ther
Green marketing communication in the tour operating business is an emerging field of research. In recognition of green marketing communication researchers’ and practitioners’ within the tour operating business need to achieve a more profound understanding of legitimate green marketing communication. This is because of societies and especially millennials increasing sensitivity and scepticism towar
The #MeToo movement sparked a massive outrage amongst women in many western countries. Nevertheless, the movement did not gain as much media attention in asian regions. Japan is one of the countries that have generated international dialogue about this phenomena. The purpose of this study is to determine why #MeToo was not as successful in Japan as in many other countries and what the little outco
The human gut microbiota is involved in the host’s health and disease. There has been growing interest in the next generation probiotic candidate Prevotella copri, which plays a beneficial role in glucose metabolism. It is a Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that was first isolated from human faeces and which is present in plant-based fermented foods as well as in human breast milk. The aim of this
Functioning as a core constitution for the global system, sovereignty is an important manifestation of discourse. This paper adopts a holistic post-structural framework and asks: how can global sovereignty shifts be understood? The answer is framed as a method for conceptualizing shifts, where we have been able to identify four concepts that each manifest those in different ways. They are: 1) Auth
Denna uppsats använder teknokratisk populism som teoretiskt ramverk för att undersöka dess applicerbarhet på Demokraternas valstrategi inför Göteborgs kommunval 2018. Detta görs genom den kombinerade användningen utav framinganalys och kvalitativ textanalys på debattartiklar skrivna av partiets politiker i Västsveriges största dagstidning Göteborgs-Posten. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger på hur teknokrat
This thesis aims to investigate if there is a correlation between Donald Trump’s political beliefs and his foreign policy behaviour towards North Korea during 2016-2019. By applying the theoretical framework Operational Code redesigned by Alexander George, Trump’s political beliefs are visible through ten questions. These political beliefs which are divided into philosophical and instrumental beli
Today, a climate crisis is immanent. In this thesis I have conducted nine semi-structured interviews with Swedish climate activists. I here answer four research questions: 1) how they construct the problem of climate change; 2) how they present the non-activists and their motivations; 3) how they present themselves and their own role; and 4) how strategies and reactions can be understood from the
The aim is to develop a profound comprehension of what role knowledge plays in the process of integrating the internal knowledge within organizations with the external knowledge that can be found in the surrounding cluster initiatives. This research contains a qualitative case study which was developed by following an interpretative, abductive approach that granted the authors to work with theory
The concept of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach to flood risk mitigation and urban landscape planning. Many European cities are considering integrating SuDS features to their stormwater management practices. More frequent weather events and water quality issues have emerged among the main drivers to advance the discussion on innovative way
I rapporten utvärderas the Waste Management Planning System (WAMPS), som är ett förenklat LCA-baserat verktyg för att jämföra avfallsscenarion utifrån miljömässiga aspekter. Syftet med studien var att hitta bristfälliga områden i modellen som behöver förbättras/uppdateras. Utvärderingen genomfördes genom att jämföra modellens struktur med liknande modeller samt genom att jämföra de resultat som beThis report evaluates the model Waste Management Planning System (WAMPS), which is an LCA-based tool used to compare different waste management scenarios from an environmental perspective. The aim of the study was to find deficient areas in the model that needed to be updated or improved. The evaluation was conducted by comparing the structure of the model to the structure of similar models and by
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore and identify the factors leading to or inhibiting inclusion, and how these do so. Methodology: I conduct a qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews of respondents within an anonymous case company named Company X, and use pattern matching to both test factors of inclusion found in the diversity and inclusion literature, but also identi
This thesis aims to evaluate MathWorks HDL (Hardware Descriptive Language) Coder and compare the results with designs produced by its vendor dependent counterparts. The focus is mainly on evaluate the design effort needed to close timing and to get optimal resource mapping for a selected design. Different tests were carried out with the designs made in HDL Coder ranging from a small design to a co
