In common discourse it is often assumed that sustainability and business are opposing dials, where increasing the level of sustainability, decreases the financial benefits. However, many researchers have demonstrated that for established businesses there is a positive relation between the implementation of sustainability and financial performance. However, it cannot be assumed that this relationsh
This thesis is placed in the context of Employer Attractiveness and Employee Retention within the Pharmaceutical Industry of Egypt and Pakistan. Most of the studies conducted in the past are either specifically done on Employer Attractiveness, Employer Branding, or a combination of both, indicating a lack of research between employer attractiveness and employee retention; thus, this thesis will br
I have always been curious about the effects architecture and the built environment have on us. The special atmosphere and the ability to arouse a sense of safety and calmness, but also the negative feelings certain spaces can evoke. Which architectural elements contribute to the way we perceive a space and more importantly, does the built environment not only affect our emotions but also our ment
The purpose of this thesis is to question and discuss whether the complication of power-relations created upon the present surface of the human body can be surpassed, by re-conceiving the body and ultimately leaving the body behind, without the loss of Being, through the critique of art and photography. This overall query has been broken down into three questions. (1)‘Does the solution behind the
Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. This study explored the impact of la
In the last decades Peru experienced an unprecedented reduction in poverty amid a strong and sustainable economic rebound following structural reforms introduced in the 1990s which paralleled a downtrend in income inequality. Using microdata from the National Survey of Households (ENAHO) this study formally tests the simultaneous role of growth and inequality on poverty outcomes from 2007 to 2019.
Research conducted on industrial symbiosis often brings up the importance of trust and collaboration related constraints and enablers if inter-organizational efforts are to be pursued. This is also found in literature related specifically to Sweden and its agri-food sector. There are limited examples of collecting empirical evidence on trust in relation to IS and even less so with a focus on SMEs.
Spallation sources such as European Spallation Source (ESS) produces neutrons by bombarding high-energy protons onto the target wheel. To determine the location of the proton beam a Proton Beam Imaging (PBI) system will be installed. The PBI system at ESS relies on the properties of a luminescent coating that is sprayed onto the target wheel and the proton beam window. In this study, luminescent m
This study investigates the acoustic characteristics and cross-dialectal variation of the diphthongs /ai au oi ui/ in the Nuckö, Ormsö, and Rickul varieties of Estonian Swedish, which have previously only been described impressionistically (Lagman, 1979; Danell, 1905-34). Eight acoustic measures, reflecting the F1 and F2 frequency values at the first (InF1 and InF2) and second (FinF1 and FinF2) vo
This qualitative study seeks to highlight the contributing factors of social exclusion of asylum seekers and refugees in Glasgow. Deriving from an internship at the organisation Scottish Refugee Council in Glasgow, this study is based on primary data that has been gathered from a community conference with asylum seekers and refugees, as well as from interviews with staff from the organisation. Its
The Landeyjahöfn Harbour, located on the south coast of Iceland, has since its opening in 2010 been suffering from siltation problems. Sediment deposited in the harbour entrance, preventing the ferry to run at full capacity. The problem was addressed in previous studies, but without arriving at a sustainable solution, stimulating the present study with the overall objective to investigate the sedi
Chinese technical and vocational education (VET) has been developed rapidly after the economic reform since 1978. The graduates from VET schools have become the important labour force in the Chinese labour market. There is a debate on the employment situation of the VET graduates. Throughout the previous research, most of them focused on the employment rate and returns to education. This study aim
På senare tid har användningen av online kommunikation ökats drastiskt, speciellt angående chatapplikationer. Det gör både kommunikation snabbare och passar in väl med distansarbete. Då chatter i stora grupper kan bli röriga då det är många användare som skriver finns det potential för förbättring gällande strukturen och organiseringen av meddelandena. Det är målet med detta examensarbete att hittThe usage of online communication has increased heavily in recent times, especially chat applications. It both makes communication faster and fits well with remote work. As the chats of large chat groups can be messy with many writers there is potential for improvement in regard to the structure and organization of messages. This is the focus of this master thesis, what kind of effects using threa
Under de senaste åren har stora resurser lagts på forskning kring utvecklingen av biomaterial för ersättning av fossil-baserade material. Förpackningsindustrin i synnerhet är en sektor känd för att generera enorma mängder fast avfall, med produkter som inte sällan har betydligt kortare livslängd än sina materialkomponenter. Polylaktid (PLA) är en mångsidig biopolymer som används kommersiellt föIn recent years, large efforts have been put into the research of biomaterial synthesis for the replacement of fossil-based materials. Particularly in the packaging industry, a sector responsible for generating enormous amount of solid waste in which products have a considerably shorter life span than their material components. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a versatile, commercial biopolymer used fo
This thesis reports on the use of \(\nu_{dyn}\) to investigate the ridge structure in p-p and p-Pb collisions using the ALICE detector at LHC. The conclusions drawn in this thesis is that there is nothing which indicates long range correlations, but that the multiplicity dependence of forward-backward correlations measured using \(\nu_{dyn}\) is dominated by an increase in the local contribution f
In this thesis it was investigated how accurate the futures predict the spot prices and characterizing the futures risk premium on the German electricity market, which currently undergoes an energy transition. This was conducted twice, with realized data and with data from an own developed model. The realized spot price data and futures were obtained from the European Energy Exchange. The methodol
The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. In this work, I present an application I developed using the Python programming language in a GIS environment that can help fin
