A full description of the entire system room-wall-room in a theoretical model for sound insulation is still today too computation intensive, implying that the higher frequencies cannot be studied. Some simplifications must thus be introduced. The simplification proposed in the present paper is to replace the rooms with wave-guides, i.e. infinity long rooms. The model then reduces to the (more or l
Since Abney (1987), generative syntax has invested much interest in the structure of the Noun Phrase, producing numerous theoretical as well as descriptive studies. Within the field of Scandinavian Noun Phrase studies, Delsing (1993) was a groundbreaking work that has since been followed up by several important studies, including Vangsnes et al. (2003) and Julien (2005). This field of inquiry is e
Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do
We aim to reinforce the importance of more qualitative empirical studies researching the particularities of co-creation efforts, in the context of new, ambiguous mutations of work and organization generated by internet technologies. While answering our research question we will look into personal accounts referring to the individual’s experience of volunteering for Mozilla, and we will contribute
In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten
In this thesis, the compatibility between the standards developed in ISO/TC 223 – Societal Security and the standards developed in ISO/TC 262 – Risk Management, is examined. A joint qualitative method of analysis, consisting of document analysis and semi-structured interviews, is applied. With the help of an operational definition of compatibility, the study results in a coefficient of compatibili
This report describes the development of a green design camera concept for Axis Communications AB. The problem description for this thesis stated that the concept should be developed by modifying one of Axis current products to achieve a decrease in environmental impact. Also, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of the camera should not be increased and the concept should be able to fulfill the same mec
With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su
Purpose: The 21st century’s focal point of sustainability obliges businesses to adjust their internal resources and operations towards a complex and dynamic environment. Previous research focused on definitional and motivational aspects of dynamic capabilities for sustainability. Hence, a research gap exists in how dynamic capabilities for sustainability are developed. Thus, this study addresses t
På senare år har ökad uppmärksamhet riktats mot det omfattande fusk som ägt rum i samband med högskoleprovet. Fusket ter sig extra allvarligt då de riskerar att skada allmänhetens förtroende inför antagningsprocessen till högre utbildning och utbildningssystemet i stort. På grund av fusket har frågan kring vad som ska hända med en persons högskolebetyg om det uppdagats att personen fuskat sig inIn recent years increased attention has been paid to the extensive cheating that has taken place in connection with Högskoleprovet (A Swedish admission exam for universities). The misdemeanor should be taken seriously as it risks damaging the public's trust in the admission process to higher education and the education system in general. The question arises regarding what should happen to a p
The purpose of the following thesis is through the combination of a semiotic and phenomenological analysis, to investigate the flemish 17th century painting Achelous Defeated by Hercules. The Creation of The Cornucopia (Allegory of Fruitfulness). The theoretical approach will be based on a treatment of the picture as a symbolic body, which evokes bodily responses similar to those that a real body
There is an urgent need to ensure sustainable consumption patterns in western countries such as Sweden. Movements around the world demanding leaders to take action for the survival of our planet also puts pressure on companies to act responsibly. Since consumption patterns are influenced by the decisions made by companies on how to do business the choice of business model can promote or hinder mor
Att gårdsförsäljning av alkoholdrycker ska bli en verklighet i Sverige är något som många vill se. För att gårdsförsäljningen ska kunna existera vid sidan om det svenska alkoholmonopolet krävs att den är förenlig med rådande EU-rätt. Centralt för den EU-rättsliga regleringen är upprätthållandet av en inre marknad där det råder fri rörlighet för varor. Artikel 37 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionens On-farm sales of alcoholic beverages becoming a reality in Sweden many wish to see. For on-farm sales to coexist with the Swedish alcohol monopoly, compatibility with current EU law is required. Central to EU legal regulation is the maintenance of an internal market with the free movement of goods. Article 37 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) regulates state trading mon

In recent years the concept of “Blue carbon” has brought attention to the importance of Mangroves, Seagrass and Saltmarsh ecosystems in carbon cycles. Concerns over climate change has had countries commit to decreasing CO2 emissions, often using natural processes to sequester CO2. This trend has often followed a market approach through creating a monetary value and market for CO2. This Climate Fin
En studie om sökta och erhållna belöningar genom användning av Enterprise Social Media: ett medarbetarperspektiv Många anser att ESM har potentialen att både förenkla och förbättra samarbete, och stärka det ”sociala kapitalet”, men ändå misslyckas 80% av implementationerna. Denna studie hoppas ge insikter i vad som driver de som ändå använder ESM, med förhoppningen att bidra till fler lyckade fraA study of the gratifications sought and obtained through using Enterprise Social Media: an employee perspective Although ESM is widely held to have the potential to improve both collaborative efficiency and to strengthen social ties among employees, around 80% of ESM implementations fail. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of why some people do use ESM, which in turn can lead to
