Problembeskrivning: Aktörerna inom detaljhandeln har idag problem med hög kapitalbindning och hård konkurrens. För den enskilde detaljisten kan det vara ödesdigert att göra felinköp av större varupartier, dels på grund av den finansiella risken, dels på grund av problemen med att upprätthålla förtroendet hos konsumenterna. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva och utveckla samarbetet mellan detaljist och
In Sweden the care of elderly is often criticized. Knowing that the average life expectancy is steadily increasing as well as the population of elderly we wished to examine how society is planning for the future. Thus the purpose of this study was to understand how politicians at municipal level construct future needs of, problems and possible solutions for the care of elderly. Six politicians of
The purpose with this study was to describe and analyze the hospital church function and importance in hospital care and its relation to the hospital counselor work. This study will also present the division of labor between the hospital church and hospital counselors. It will also examine the relationship between the hospital church and hospital curators and if there is a difference in the hospit
Inom civilrätten uppstår emellanåt behovet av att återställa ett förhållande så att det i möjligaste mån återspeglar de omständigheter som i ett specifikt skede tidigare gällde i relationen mellan de involverade. Sådant behov kan t.ex. uppstå vid ogiltighet alternativt hävning av kontrakt i avtalsrätten, vindikation i sakrätten eller återvinning i konkursrätten. Att rent faktiskt skruva tillbaka t
Vaccination is the most cost-effective way of preventing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) although there was a considerable delay in its institution in Tanzania. This study assessed health care workers' (HCWs) self-perceived infection risk and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. A concurrent embedded, mixed methods design was utilized to collect data among HCWs in seven Tanzanian regions. Quantitative
This thesis deals with the modeling of structured signals under different sparsity constraints. Many phenomena exhibit an inherent structure that may be exploited when setting up models, examples include audio waves, radar, sonar, and image objects. These structures allow us to model, identify, and classify the processes, enabling parameter estimation for, e.g., identification, localisation, and t
There is growing evidence that the hydrodynamic gradient expansion is factorially divergent. We advocate for using Dingle's singulants as a way to gain analytic control over its large-order behavior for nonlinear flows. Within our approach, singulants can be viewed as new emergent degrees of freedom which reorganize the large-order gradient expansion. We work out the physics of singulants for long
The modernization of China comes as one of the most interesting topics not only at this moment but also has been researched for a long time. The individualization theories come as a result of modernity. This thesis draws on ten in-depth interviews in order to analyze the individualization among the educated, middle-class young people who were born in the 1990s by testing Yan Yunxiang’s theories of
Title: Shipment Consolidation Policy Project. A case study at the Integrated Logistics Product Area at the Case Company. Authors: Carl Tornerhjelm, Tom Wachtmeister. Supervisor: Peter Berling, the Division of Production Management. Background: Larger corporations that distribute products and goods globally face both internal and external demands from stakeholders. High service levels call for freq
Barn som är under 15 år kan inte straffas i svensk rätt enligt 1 kap. 6 § brottsbalken (BrB) och därmed kan de inte heller bli föremål för rättsväsendets åtgärder p.g.a. brott. När samhällsåtgärder därmed måste tas, ligger ansvaret på socialtjänsten. Begår ett barn ett brott kan det ändå utredas av polis och åklagare genom stöd av lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL), en s.k. 31 § LUL-utredning. SChildren under the age of 15 can commit crimes but they cannot be punished under Swedish law in accordance with Chapter 1, Section 6 of the Criminal Code and therefore they cannot be subject to a preliminary criminal investigation by a Prosecutor or the Police. Instead, when children have committed a crime other societal measures can be taken. The responsibility for the care for these children lie
Tillgång till rent vatten och fungerande avloppssystem är en grundläggande samhällsfunktion som kommunerna ansvarar för att tillhandahålla. Dessa funktioner möjliggörs genom omfattande nätverk av VA-ledningar som ofta placeras i kommunalägd mark. När VA-verksamheten bedrivs genom kommunala bolag eller kommunalförbund uppstår frågor om markupplåtelseersättning till kommunen. Det saknas tydliga riktAccess to clean water and functioning sewage water systems is a fundamental municipal responsibility, often realized through extensive networks of pipes placed in municipally owned land. When water and sewage water services are managed through municipal companies or inter-municipal associations, questions arise regarding compensation to the municipality for the use of municipal land. The lack of c
This thesis investigates whether a variational autoencoder (VAE) can be trained directly on raw, ir- regularly sampled option quotes rather than on pre-interpolated volatility surfaces. A Raw Set VAE is proposed, combining a Set Transformer encoder with a pointwise decoder to process unordered, variable-length sets of SPX option contracts without requiring prior grid construction. To isolate the c
Child undernutrition is a worldwide problem with dire consequences that compromises the quality of life and economic growth on different scales (individual, household and community). It affects mainly highly vulnerable populations. Maternal characteristics have proven to be key determinants for child nutritional status. Recently, Brazil has been considered to be a role model in how to fight undern
Two decades after emerging from war and after many years of delay, Bosnia and Herzegovina at last submitted an EU membership application in 2016. There is little doubt, however, that candidate status and accession are still a long way off. Reform process is slow, and the country’s state of democracy is undermined by a variety of factors. To evaluate perspectives for the future, this paper investig
Predictable and repeatable execution is the key to ensuring functional correctness for real-time systems. Scheduling algorithms are designed to generate schedules that repeat after a certain amount of time has passed. However, this repeatability is also a vulnerability when side-channel attacks are considered. Side-channel attacks are attacks based on information gained from the implementation of
The aim of this study has been to examine the way social workers view ADHD and the scope given neuropshycological disorders such as ADHD within the professional delimitation of the social services child and family unit. The study has taken a qualitative approach with six semistructured interviews being held with social workers currently working in the child and family unit. These social workers we
Due to rapid urbanization and globalization in last decades, we face many serious problems. One of them is depopulation, a less discussed consequence of urbanization. Besides depopulation, a town called Abertamy copes with its complicated history and lost relationship to the landscape. In my thesis, I was searching for potential answers to today’s burning question: How to boost life in the countr
During the last three decades, a vast variety of methods to numerically solve ordinary differential equations and differential algebraic equations has been developed and investigated. The methods are mostly freely available in different programming languages and with different interfaces. Accessing them using a unified interface is a need not only of the research community and for education purpos
Many of the countries hosting a peacebuilding mission have resumed to violence after the international community has left. The reason for this has often been a too quick liberalization creating pathologies that might lead to renewed conflict causing peacebuilding to fail. Therefore, an alternative model, focusing on insti-tutionalization before liberalization (IBL), has been suggested. If this the
Tanzania is today one of the greatest aid recipients in the world, but still - after over 45 years of huge amounts of aid - one of the poorest and least developed countries. How can that be? Civil society is said to benefit the democratization process, but has not succeed in Tanzania. Has the extensive aid had any impact? Our purpose is to investigate this set of problems. We are using theories c
