CSR has been gaining significance in the field of strategic management, as growing societal expectations have resulted in additional pressures for firms to act responsibly. Particularly the heightened sense of urgency regarding environmental sustainability has further amplified this development. Simultaneously, the global business landscape is changing at an accelerated pace and in an unprecedente
We devise a feed-forward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) procedure for predicting utility loads and present the resulting predictions for two test problems given by ``The Great Energy Predictor Shootout - The First Building Data Analysis and Prediction Competition''. Key ingredients in our approach are a method ($\delta$ -test) for determiningrelevant inputs and the Multilayer Perceptron. These me
Risk assessment is a useful tool in ensuring the continuous operation of critical societal functions. It can be used on many levels of an organization or society. One way to conduct risk assessments on higher system levels is to aggregate risk information from lower-level assessments. However, the process of aggregating risk information can be complex and different strategies for such aggregation Risk assessment is a useful tool to inform decision-making when it comes to ensuring the continuous operation of critical societal functions. It can be used on many levels within an organization or on multiple societal levels. One way to conduct risk assessments on a higher system level, such as on national level, is to aggregate risk information from lower-level assessments, e.g. from the regiona

Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. We can imagine that much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. Sounds like the future of communiMobile communications are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. Much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. In the 5G visions, better coverage in remote regions is also included, aiming for bringing the current "4 bill
Different types of data streams, time series, are generated in systems and collected in information bases all over the world. One may have data streams of temperatures, air pollution, share prices, traffic demand for networks or strength of the emitted radiation from a power plant. There are different statistical tools to analyse these data streams. An interesting tool to evaluate a data stream is
The tourism industry has the potential to bring sustainable growth to regions suffering from economic hardship. However, in order for tourism to live up to this potential, it is imperative that the traditional dynamics of tourism development are challenged. Decentralized decision-making and community empowerment have proven to be powerful factors in ensuring bottom-up development in the case of th
The literature suggests that executives still doubt the real contribution of HR, and one reason for this is that it is difficult to measure the Return on Investment in HR activities. In addition to this, earlier studies on the value creation of IT seems to discount the intangible value creation that IT investments bring to organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare how
Protein G, an immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding protein isolated from group C or G streptococci, binds to the Fc portion of IgG. Protein L, from the anaerobic bacterium Peptostreptococcus magnus, specifically binds light chains of Ig. In this study, protein G and L were used to measure the production of antibodies in immunized rabbits. Two rabbits were immunized with a mixture of human urinary proteins

Beyond curiosity and wonder—understanding the Museum Stobaeanum Museum Stobaeanum was the first public museum in Lund. Established in the early 18th century, it has its roots in the cabinet of curiosities of Kilian Stobaeus (1690–1742), professor in natural philosophy and history at Lund University. In 1735, Stobaeus donated his collections to Lund University. The earliest preserved inventories fr

Popular Abstract in English Imagine a solar powered flash light. Each photon absorbed by the flash light’s solar cell creates electric energy and the flash light’s light source converts the electrical energy again into photons. The purpose of such a device may be questionable, because you would be surprised if it would create more light than what it absorbs. However, under certain conditions it isIn this thesis the luminescence properties of highly doped semiconductors are studied with focus on degenerately n-doped InP. It is demonstrated how photoluminescence measurements on degenerately doped semiconductors allow an estimation of the doping concentration without need for electrical contacts. The degenerate doping can furthermore reveal the conduction band structure for energies higher th
