The aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of how Swedish retailers selling goods on the consumer market and the competition among them have been affected by the growth of e-commerce between the years 2007-2015. Firm specific data from 133 firms have been used together with market specific data estimated from 6850 firms to analyse why some firms do better than others, and which decision
Duni has successfully expand their business internationally. Internationalization makes the distance between the producer and consumers become longer and this leads to strength reduction of corrugated boxes along the supply chain. To overcome this problem, this study is conducted to find the extent of corrugated boxes strength reduction during logistical activities, practices and condition in the
Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin

Course: BUSN79 Business Administration: Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Seminar Date: June 1, 2018 Authors: Morten Henrik Sassen & Birger Willersen Advisor: Prof. Lars Oxelheim Purpose: This study aims to empirically examine the effects of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 on a perspective hitherto neglected by the recently emerging JOBS literature: The role of ve
Seafood can be a potential source of contaminants and when consumed contribute to an increased exposure of these substances. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are contaminants accumulating in our seafood and are therefore an emerging concern. It has been suggested that cooking seafood can influence the concentration of heavy metals and other organic contaminants, however, few studies ha
This paper studies the struggles over the landscape that emerge in south-east Skåne due to the exploration permission which was given to ScandiVanadium in 2018. It also examines how this permission has a background in trends of a green transition in the mineral industry. The paper departs from theories on global land rush and accumulation by dispossession, and uses certain aspects of the productio
The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ
Popular science summary: An MK-801 Hyperactivity Model in Zebrafish Larvae Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by psychosis, depression and cognitive impairments. The severity of this disease is easily underestimated, since the manifestations are not consequently lethal. Additionally, Schizophrenia is correlated with a 50 times increased risk of attempted suicide. Considering that a
Abstract Mean dive duration and probability of observing Minke whale surface feeding were estimated throughout three consecutive feeding seasons in Faxafloy bay, Iceland. Observations were done using manual theodolite and binoculars each season from June to August. Surfacings of the whale as well as behavioural notes were fixed into Pythagoras program. Mean dive duration was significantly longer i
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Ska du flyga långt med de där vingarna? Vissa fåglar flyger långt, andra inte. Silvertärnorna flaxar med vingarna från Arktis till Antarktis medan pingvinerna använder vingarna för att simma och inte flyger alls. Eftersom att olika fåglar använder sina vingar på så olika sätt så har nämnda vingar anpassats efter vingbärarnas behov. Vissa studier har visat sambaAbstract Bird wings are adapted to the needs of the birds and bird wings therefore differ between species, but also between ages and sexes. In this thesis, an interspecific analysis investigating relations between measurements of wing shape for birds within the Sylviidae-family, revealed strong connections between morphologically unrelated measurements. Long distances (compared to the wing length
The bottling plant of The Coca-Cola Company caused environmental problems: water shortage and water contamination. The villagers of Plachimada did not have sufficient water supplies for daily use; furthermore, clean water was contaminated and high levels of calcium and magnesium were detected. The villagers in Plachimada started the movements against The Coca-Cola Company and they still demand com
Human trafficking is an alarming issue that has been discussed by many scholars and policy makers from different fields. It has been argued that poverty is one of the root causes of trafficking, making people to take any risks to improve life. The severe exploitation that occurs during trafficking experience has put victims of trafficking in a difficult situation where they are often seen as objec
Det primära syftet med studien var att undersöka genomförbarheten av dagliga skattningar två gånger dagligen av symtom, psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) och funktion hos vuxna med systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE). Det sekundära syftet var att undersöka sambandet mellan de vanligaste och mest besvärande symtomen på SLE (dvs. smärta, trötthet, ångest, depression och kognitiv påverkan), hälsorelateraThe primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of obtaining twice-daily recordings of symptoms, psychological flexibility (PF) and functioning from adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between the most common and burdensome symptoms of SLE (i.e., pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment – CI), health r
This project was completed in collaboration with the graph database company Neo4j with the aim of developing a new algorithm for automatic detection of software bugs that degrade system performance, commonly referred to as performance regressions in the industry. Due to the large number of benchmarks used to monitor different aspects of the product environment, a flexible and robust solution was n
Bakgrund Löpning som aktivitet är ett tillgängligt sätt att nå upp i de rekommendationer om fysisk aktivitet som ges av FYSS (fysisk aktivitet i sjukdomsprevention och sjukdomsbehandling). Löpning för med sig ett flertal hälsofördelar, bland annat förbättrad mental och kardiovaskulär hälsa. Trots dessa fördelar är det vanligt att löpare drabbas av skador på det muskuloskeletala systemet. Dessa ska
