The entire retail industry is facing drastic changes at the moment: topics such as personalisation and omni-channel are on each management agenda. Additionally, new retail store concepts are continually popping up, and the changing role of store associates causes concerns. In particular, physical retailers are struggling on how to reinvent the physical store by changing the store’s main purpose. T

One response to mitigate climate change is the replacement of conventional products with more environmentally friendly ones. The increased popularity of organic food can be said to be an effect of this development. This popularity has in combination with the prosocial characteristic of organic food and its associated price premium made sustainable consumption a political question, as it raises que

Det är välkänt att det industriella jordbruket har omfattande negativa sociala, ekonomiska och miljömässiga effekter. Hållbart jordbruk ses som ett alternativ till detta nedbrytande system. Dess syfte är istället att skapa ett jordbruk som är hållbart på lång sikt. Med detta som utgångspunkt undersöker denna uppsats hur den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken (CAP) har påverkat hållbart jordbruk i SveriIt is well known that industrial agriculture has extensive negative social, economic and environmental effects. Sustainable agriculture has been designed as a way of out this negative cycle, and is meant to create an agricultural system with temporal stability. With this starting point, this thesis investigates how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has affected sustainable agriculture in Sweden

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

I svensk skatterätt beskattas varje aktiebolag var för sig enligt principen om det enskilda skattesubjektet. Det finns emellertid undantag till denna huvudregel, för att tillmötesgå skattemässig neutralitet för koncerner. Koncernbidragsreglerna i 35 kap. inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) utgör ett viktigt inslag i koncernbeskattningen, genom att tillåta resultatutjämning mellan koncernbolag utifrån sIn Swedish tax law every company is taxed separately, according to the principle of the separate tax subject. There are, however, several exceptions to this rule, in order to accommodate tax neutrality in respect to taxation of corporate groups. The rules on group contributions in chapter 35 of the Income Tax Act (1999:1229) is a substantial part of the rules on group taxation, allowing tax equali

Den legala arvsordningen ska garantera att en bröstarvinge får del av föräldrarnas egendom när de dör. I Sverige ska den del en bröstarvinge är garanterad vara hälften av kvarlåtenskapen delat med antalet bröstarvingar. Denna del kallas laglott. Detta innebär en begränsning av en förälders rätt att testamentera bort egendom. Endast hälften av en förälders egendom kan fritt fördelas utanför den legThe right of inheritance is supposed to ensure that an offspring receives part of the parents' property when they die. In Sweden, the part that an offspring to the deceased is guaranteed is half of the estate divided by the number of siblings. This part is the reserved portion (portio legitima). This means that a parent's right to bequeath property is limited. Only half of a parent's p

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) include a large group of chemicals that has been used for many decades because of their mechanical and chemical stability. They owe these unique features due to the strong C-F bonds in their molecules. PFAS can be fully or partly fluorinated and the more fluorinated they get, the more persistent they become. They have been used in several industries such

Stjärnströmmar är strömmar av stjärnor som har blivit ryckta ur antingen klotformiga stjärnhopar eller dvärggalaxer, som är i omloppsbana rund mer massiva galaxer. Forskare har hittat dessa stjärnströmmar runt vår galax Vintergatan. Exempelvis Sagittarius strömmen, som formas från dvärggalaxen Sagittarius, och Palomar 5 strömmen, som bildas av en klotformig stjärnhop. Strömmarna har också observerStellar streams are probes of the properties of their host potentials, giving clues about the host's shape, mass and substructure. There are several observed stellar streams both around the Milky Way and around external galaxies, and they are studied thoroughly. However, the impact of (i) the properties of the progenitor cluster or dwarf galaxy that form the streams, of (ii) the streams' o

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden har inte varit konstant sedan jorden bildandes, men det är svårt att studera hur inflödet förändrats eftersom meteoriter lätt omvandlas och förstörs på jordytan. En metod för att studera förändringar i inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden är att titta på förändringar i halten kromit i sediment. Kromit är ett mineralMeteorites are easily altered in the oxygen-rich environment on the Earth surface. Fossil meteorites are thus uncommon and in the ones, which are found, almost all minerals are secondary. However, the spinel group mineral chromite is resistant to alteration and has successfully been used as a proxy for ordinary chondrites in sediment. The frequency and composition range of spinel group minerals in

In recent years the railway has received a lot of negative publicity thanks to the large amount of delay hours that occurs during winter conditions and especially at snowfall. In our railway network, the points are the most targeted problem components were snow and ice cause the most problems. Due to its moving parts and low tolerances for disorder, a few millimeters of gap between the rails is en

Arsenic is an element and has a natural part in the earth with a content of 1,5-2,0 mg/kg in the earth crust. Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock and the Swedish bedrock contains anything from 1,0-40 mg/kg. Arsenic is more poisonous in its inorganic form than in its organic. The two most common types of inorganic arsenic are arsenite and arsenate. Arsenite (AsIII) is the most acute poisonous

At the end of August 1999, the local government council of Malmö city decided that the area known as Kvarteret Bilen would be made available for the European Housing Exhibition 2001 (Bo01-mässan). Kvarteret Bilen extends over approximately 80 hectars and includes the western parts of the Western Harbour area (Västra hamnen) of Malmö. Kvarteret Bilen as a whole, but especially the western sections

Som ett led i de åtaganden som ställs på de länder som har undertecknat Kyotoprotokollet måste landvisa kolbudgetar fastställas. För att fastlägga bra kolbudgetar är det viktigt att kunna göra bra uppskattningar av kolmängden inom olika geografiska områden. Detta dels för att kunna uppskatta befintliga mängder och dels för att kunna påvisa förändringar över tiden. Denna studie hade som huvudmål atAs part of the undertakings of the Kyoto treaty, country-wise carbon balances must be brought forward. To do this, it is important to be able to make good estimations of the amount of carbon in forest areas. The reasons for this are to estimate the existing amounts as well as to prove changes over time. The main goal of this study was to estimate the amount of carbon stored in trees in a hundred-y

Jurisdiction over piracy under international law is universal according to UNCLOS, but piracy itself has changed since the regulations that UNCLOS is based on was concluded. This thesis discusses the question whether the views on jurisdiction over piracy under international law has changed and the conclusion that is reached is that views have changed, at least in areas that are badly affected by p

The new Discrimination Act (2008:567) entered into force on 1 January 2009 and it is now illegal to discriminate a person based on age in Sweden. Earlier discrimination legislation had no rules regarding age but following the implementation of Directive 2000/78/EC Employment Framework came a comprehensive legislation on discrimination which contained the ban against discrimination on grounds of ag

The purpose of the present Master Thesis is to study, analyse and compare the attitude and knowledge of conventional or non-organic food consumers and organic food consumers in the packaging food disposal. Sweden and Spain are the countries chosen to develop this project. The research therefore will try to answer the following questions: • How much do conventional and organic food consumers know a

Tidigare var ett av kraven enligt den svenska rättsordningen för ändrad könstillhörighet att den sökande var steriliserad eller av annan orsak saknade fortplantningsförmåga. Steriliseringskravet upphävdes i juli 2013 efter att Kammarrätten fastställt att kravet stred mot både 2 kap. RF och EKMR och därför inte skulle tillämpas. Frågan är nu om staten kan anses vara skadeståndsskyldig gentemot de sUntil the 1st of July 2013, one of the requirements according to Swedish law to change gender identification was that the applicant had to be sterilised or by other reasons remain permanently infertile. The requirement was abolished after a ruling from the Administrative Court of Appeal, which stated that the requirement violated both the ECHR and Chapter 2 of the Instrument of Government. The que

I en allt mer energieffektiv värld så spelar allt fler av energiförlusterna allt större roll. Tidigare hade man samma förluster som idag från kanalsystemet men de totala förlusterna var större. När man nu har minskat andra förluster i huset får kanalför- lusterna en allt större betydelse i den totala energianvändningen, vilket leder till att det nu finns anledning att ta större hänsyn till dem. I To minimize energy losses becomes more and more important in a world where energy efficiency is a big priority and necessary if we want a future on our planet. The relative impact from ducting losses on the energy performance of the building was earlier so small that it was plausible to ignore them. Nowadays many of the other parts of the losses have been cut which means the air ducts now might st

Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard
