Problem definition: The increasingly informed customer will lead to an even greater demand for expertise and knowledge of marketers. Firms need to find new ways to utilize the informed customer as a co-creator of value by more proficiently analyzing behavior, both online and offline. An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal

Offentliga upphandlingar utgör en stor del av de svenska och europeiska marknaderna och har sedan länge varit föremål för reglering som bland annat ska minska risken för korruption och säkerställa ett effektivt utnyttjande av offentliga medel. Sedan Sveriges tillträde i Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet 1992 har upphandlingsreglerna utgått från dem som framarbetats av Europeiska unionen. Det Public procurement constitutes a large part of Swedish and European markets and has since long been subject to regulation in order to, inter alia, decrease the risk of corruption and securing an effective use of public means. Since Sweden’s entry to the European Economic Area in 1992, existing rules of public procurement have originated from the rules drafted by the European Union. There exists a

Konkurrensen är hård på dagens arbetsmarknad och då vill företagen skydda sig mot att kompetensen i deras företag kommer till användning i konkurrerande verksamhet. Samtidigt vill arbetstagare kunna utnyttja sin kunskap till fullo samt fortsätta utvecklas inom sin profession vid avslutad anställning. Det medför en skillnad mellan parternas intresse vilken ofta regleras i konkurrensklausul och så lThe competition is fierce in today’s labour market, which results in that company’s competence is even more valuable than ever before. Which in turn means that the use of non-compete clauses is widespread on the labour market. This is to make sure the knowledge is not used by a competing business. On the other hand employees want to use and continue to develop their knowledge in their area of expe

Studien syftade till att undersöka om eventsegmentering kan utgöra en grund för minnesbaserad tidsbedömning i det episodiska minnet och huruvida objektets semantiska association till kontexten påverkar integrationen av minnet. Eventsegmentering etablerar upplevelsen av en händelse genom att särskilja vad som händer nu från det som hände nyss och bryter därmed ner tidsförlopp till enstaka händelserThe study aimed to investigate whether event segmentation can provide a basis for memory-based time assessment of episodic memory and whether object association to the context affects subsequent memory integration. Event segmentation establishes the experience of an event by distinguishing what is happening now from what just happened and thus breaks down the time-course of an event to include sub

Med avstamp i den mänskliga rättigheten att söka asyl och den väletablerade rätten till internationellt skydd för den som uppfyller flyktingdefinitionen, belyser uppsatsen exklusionsbestämmelserna, undantaget som kan utesluta en person från flyktingskydd. De humanitära skyddsåtgärder som Flyktingkonventionen erbjuder förverkas nämligen om det finns synnerligen anledning att anta att den asylsökandThis thesis starts off in the human right to seek asylum and the recognized right to international protection for refugees. It examines the exclusion clauses, the exception that can exclude asylum claimants from refugee protection. The protective measures guaranteed by the Refugee Convention are forfeited if there are serious reasons for considering that the claimant has committed crime against pe

Solving finite-sum minimization problems could be done by the use of a gradient descent algorithm. The algorithm evaluates the gradient with respect to the current state of the parameters and updates the parameters in the direction of the steepest descent. For certain problems, evaluating the full gradient at every iteration is computationally heavy and the gradient of the objective function is th

Green Roofs (GRs) have been used worldwide as a solution for greening cities, while providing useful services to society such as storm water management, improved air quality, energy savings, and increased biodiversity, to name a few. However, the environmental impact of their structure has been understudied, and more importantly, the carbon cost related to the use of materials that have a high car

Elevators could be an important alternative means of egress when it comes to evacuation. This report is the result of a model developed to calculate the efficiency of elevator evacuation in different scenarios in deep underground facilities. The model is an Excel-tool designed to be applicable in different tailor-made scenarios for analysis and comparison. This report includes four different cases

Självmord är ett stigmatiserat ämne som det inte pratas så mycket om i samhället. Samtidigt är det många som lider av psykisk ohälsa och ser självmord som den enda utvägen. Varje år dör cirka 1500 personer i självmord i Sverige. Förhoppningen med denna studie är att lyfta fram suicidala personers röster för att visa att vi behöver lyssna på deras upplevelser av psykisk ohälsa om vi vill sträva eftSuicide is a stigmatized subject that we, as a society, do not talk much about. Simultaneously, there are many people suffering from mental illness who think of suicide as the only way out. Every year around 1500 people die from suicide in Sweden. The aim of this study is to highlight suicidal people’s voices, in order to demonstrate that we need to listen to them if we want to achieve a decrease

To be in the hospital as a patient is a special occurrence, and patients’ experiences often vary when it comes to care, specifically in relation to hospital staff. The purpose of this study was to examine patients’ and personnel’s experiences of the care in an orthopedic clinic and to explore causal factors that maybe are affecting the experience of care. The community, the organization of the hos

Markslitage i fjällmiljö Ett ökat intresse för fjällturism leder till markslitage i fällen. Fjällmiljön har en lång återhämtningstid och därför måste åtgärder sättas in i god tid för att kunna bibehålla en storslagen fjällmiljö. Genom att studera området Södra Årefjällen, genom framställning i media och genom en dokumentsökning, har en kartläggning gjorts på hur olika aktiviteter påverkar markmiljThe alpine nature is sensitive and takes a long time to recover if damaged. The ground can be damaged by trampling, motor vehicles and bicycling amongst other things. This study focuses on the alpine area of Södra Årefjällen, which is located in mid-Sweden. The aim with the study was to see which activities that has the most impact on land and vegetation, what can be done to repair it and how visi

In this work we have addressed the task of segmentation in skeletal scintigraphy images with deep learning models, where we research different approaches to convert convolutional neural networks designed for classification tasks to powerful pixel wise predictors. We explore different network architectures where two primary research paths have been followed. Firstly, an encoder-decoder architecture

After the General Court’s (GC) decision in case T-472/13 H. Lundbeck A/S and Lundbeck Ltd v Commission it seems the concept of potential competition in the context of so-called ‘pay-for-delay’ agreements, or reverse patent settlements, might have been altered; that the bar in order for an undertaking to qualify as a potential competitor might have been lowered. This thesis aims to examine whether

This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t

Humanitära interventioner, alltså militära ingripanden i en stat utan dess samtycke för att skydda befolkningens mänskliga rättigheter, har under de senaste årtiondena varit omdiskuterade. Interventionernas förespråkare menar att vi alla har en moralisk skyldighet att hjälpa människor i nöd. De som är kritiska till interventionerna menar att dessa innebär en kränkning av en av folkrättens hörnstenHumanitarian interventions, that is to say military interventions in a state, without its permission, to protect the population’s human rights, have during the past decades been controversial. The advocates of the interventions regard it as everyone’s duty to help humans in need. The interventions’ critics argue that the interventions are a violation of one cornerstone of the international law, th

Varje stat har rätt att kontrollera sina gränser och bestämma vem som får vistas på det egna territoriet. Ett undantag från denna statssuveränitet är den absoluta rätten för skyddssökande att söka asyl. I och med att vi har fått en kontrollerad invandring i Sverige har vikten av att skilja mellan asylrätten och de bestämmelser som reglerar arbetskraftsinvandring blivit viktig. För att få arbeta Every state has the right to control their borders and decide who is allowed on their territory. An exception to this state sovereignty is the right to seek asylum. With regards to the developments of controlled immigration in Sweden, the importance of distinguishing between asylum law and the rules governing labour immigration has become vital. What this essay examines is what happens when two re

The current rules concerning the right to take industrial action were established in the early 1900s and are still an issue governed by the labour market organizations. In Sweden, the right to take industrial action is protected by constitutional law, which also includes sympathy actions. Limitations can only be made by law or particular agreements. In order to adapt to the current conditions, neg

En dendrokronologisk undersökning har gjorts på 128 tallar (Pinus sylvestris) från två torvmossar: Viss mosse och Åbuamossen i Skåne, södra Sverige. De delar av torvmossars lagerföljd som innehåller stubbar och stammar bildar stubbhorisonter. En stubbhorisont i en lagerföljd representerar en torrare fas i mossens historia, oftast som ett resultat av hydrologiska variationer orsakade av klimat föräIn total 128 pine samples (Pinus sylvestris) from two raised peat bogs, Viss mosse and Åbuamossen, Skåne, southern Sweden were examined with dendrochronological methodology. The result is a number of floating chronologies, of which the longest cover 570 years. The three most valuable chronologies were 14C-dated to construct dated chronologies. These chronologies are of certain dendrochronological
