Av den svenska befolkningen är det ca 15 % som lider av födoämnesallergi. Små mängder av ett allergent ämne kan orsaka allvarliga konsekvenser. Därför har alla livsmedelsföretag i Sverige ett lagstadgat ansvar att producera allergensäkra livsmedel. Otillfredsställande hantering av allergener vid de olika produktionsstegen kan ligga till grund för allergenkorskontaminering. Goda grundförutsättninga15 % of the Swedish population suffers from food allergy. Low doses of an allergenic substance may cause serious consequences. Therefore, it is mandatory by law for all food producing companies in Sweden to produce allergenic safe food. Unsatisfactorily handling of allergenic substances in the different steps of food production may cause allergenic cross contamination. Sound prerequisites are of m

Purpose: The aim of this study is to shed a light on the possible link between CSR and PMS. We explore whether and under which conditions PMS can be used as a tool to enforce sustainability. In order to do that, we provide a set of propositions about the factors that influence the decisions of organizations to implement a PMS to realize the objectives of sustainability. Methodology: Qualitative

The field of Conceptual History is often criticized for considering only a small slice of the historical vocabulary it intends to historicize. What about the discourse of the silenced, working at home, robbed of a pen? Concepts are indicative of many contexts of meaning: in this thesis, therefore, propelled by the foregoing question and statement, it is argued that the main protagonist of German,

The thesis builds upon a critical discourse analysis and ethnographic methods such as interviews and participatory observation, in an effort to contribute with original research about how the Swedish counter radicalization project discursively constructs political engagement as “pro-violent” and “anti-democratic”, and how these constructions impacts local political practices. The analysis reveals

Inom matindustrin och djurfoderindustrin finns det stor potential för användning av tång som näringsrikt födoämne. Palmaria palmata (P. Palmata), eller i vardagligt tal, dulse är ett rött sjögräs med högt proteininnehåll (8-35%), som innehåller många mineraler som t.ex. jod och är rikt på fiber. Den vanligaste polysackariden i dulse är xylan. Vetenskapliga artiklar föreslår att xylan är delvis bun

Indonesia has a history of hundreds of years revolving around the racism against its 3% Chinese ethnic minority—who are also known as Tionghoa. This circumstance engenders the racial-social order that has been shaping the attitudes and behaviours of the Chinese, both individually and collectively, in social, cultural, and political realms. The Chinese have become self-controlled and self-regulated

The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has a

It is common knowledge that shading systems and solar control glasses are used to avoid glare and overheating at expenses of daylight. In Dynamic Thermal Modelling tools, there is no assessment method where the shading use is expressed when predicting the building performance. Furthermore, literature often refers to studies where complex fenestration systems are optimized for specific cases. Howev

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur modeföretag använder CSR-kommunikationen och språket i deras hållbarhetsrapporter för att legitimera konsumtion. Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ metod utifrån ett kritiskt diskursanalytiskt perspektiv. Vidare har vi använt oss av Faircloughs tredimensionella modell för att analysera H&M, Gina Tricot och Filippa Ks hållbarhetsrapporter. Det empir

Hållbar utveckling är ett begrepp som länge varit ett aktuellt ämne och under de senaste två decennierna har även hållbart företagande kommit att få en allt viktigare roll i vår globala värld. Medvetenheten har ökat hos både aktörer och konsumenter vilket innebär att allt fler bryr sig om hur, var och av vem som produkter är tillverkade och tjänster utförda. Detta har lett till att det idag ställsSustainable development is a concept that has long been a current global issue and over the past two decades sustainable entrepreneurship has also come to play an increasingly important role in our global world. Awareness has increased among both stakeholders and consumers, which means that more and more people care about how, where and by who products are manufactured and services are provided. A

Skatteflykt och aggressiv skatteplanering leder årligen till stora inkomstbortfall för staten vilket ger upphov till konsekvenser för välfärden, skattemoralen samt konkurrensen och mindre företags möjligheter att etablera sig på marknaden vilket orsakar urholkning av länders skattebas och orättvisor. Direktiv 2016/1164 utvecklades samt antogs av EU för att kunna kryphål som finns gentemot skatteuTax avoidance and aggressive tax planning annually results in large financial losses för the state, which have consequences for the welfare, tax moral as well as for the competition and the ability for smaller companies to establish themselves on the market which causes erosion of tax bases and injustice. Directive 2016/1164 was developed and adapted by EU in order to cover the loopholes that exi

The aim of this study was to investigate close relatives' experiences of their role as long-term home care givers to a somatically ill partner, to increase the understanding of informal care in society. The method chosen was text analysis of five biographies. In analyzing the results, I applied the following theoretical approaches: Goffman’s dramaturgical approach, Linton’s role theory, and fi

Deriving from an increased awareness of the devastating effects of global warming consequences, the interest for green bonds is growing at an explosive pace. However, researchers and practitioners have raised concerns about the challenges of assessing green bonds. Responding to a well-defined research gap stemming from identified challenges to assess green bonds, the primary purpose of this study

Bakgrund och problemdiskussion: Detaljhandeln utvecklas ständigt och i snabb takt på grund av en ökad digitalisering. I samband med det har kunden fått en allt mer avgörande roll. Fysiska butikslokaler behöver därför användas mer effektivt och ett sätt att göra det är med hjälp av pop-up-butiker. Pop-up-butiker är flexibla och finns endast på marknaden en begränsad period. Butikskonceptet pop-up ä

This paper evaluates the low-cost optical sensor OPC-N3 from Alphasense as a suitable scientific instrument for measuring particulate matter levels in air, both outdoors and in- doors. The time-keeping and data-retrieval was additionally improved by connecting the OPC-N3 to an Arduino microcontroller equipped with a real-time clock (RTC) module and an external SD card. Inter-comparison tests demon

Based on these three literature streams we identified relevant key concepts and c

Background Managing risk has become a crucial challenge for supply chain managers. In a complex supply chain, there are relations that have to be managed from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer, and there is a lot of room for unforeseen challenges. The need to capture risk has for a long time been high, but due to the complexity of modern supply chains, uncertain developments are h
