The architectural and engineering trend leads towards greater use of glass in buildings. Growing safety awareness often requires laminated glass. Laminated glass is formed as a sandwich of two or more sheets of glass and a plastic interlayer. Laminated glass can for example be used in stairs, floors, roofs, facades and balcony railings. This thesis deals with the most common interlayer polyvinyl
Problem Discussion: Nissan Diesel became a part of the Volvo Group in the end of March, 2007. A year has passed and the integration process is making progress but it is perceived to lack some momentum. Our sponsor would like to understand if there are any potential barriers to the integration process. (Haspeslagh, et al., 1991) and (Pablo, 1994) presents two different sets of determinants that can
Abstract Title: A study of in-store atmospherics impact on young consumers in fashion houses Date of the Seminar: June 4th 2008 Course: BUSM08.

Purpose: During the last years Real Options have been established in many areas of the day-to-day business. Recent literature also tries to address Supply Chain problems with option theory, since an efficient Supply Chain increasingly gains in importance as a significant competitive advantage. This thesis tries to answer the question, if Real Options can mitigate the costs induced by the Bullwhip
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the expectations of roles between supplier sales representatives and retailer store personnel in relation to in-store campaigns, this in order to enhance effectiveness of these functions creating an increase in consumer response. Methodology: The researchers believe that social phenomenon and their meanings are continually being a
This masters' thesis, "The New Economy of Vision : New Urban Spaces in post-1992 Shanghai", authored by Johan Vaide, draws on the economic reforms initiated in the late 1970s to show how Shanghai has experienced a rapid and well-calculated change of its cultural landscape. Due to the launch of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" in 1978 and the construction of an entir
Many modern psychological theories still assume that humans know about themselves to a wide and accurate extent, in line with the early classical cognitive frameworks. Other competing frameworks, such as dynamic cognition, propose that intelligent behavior can arise from an interaction between the brain, body, and environment, without the need of manipulating explicitly represented knowledge-state
Bakgrund: Det finns en brist på studier som belyser omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården. Fokus ligger på den akuta medicinska behandlingen och omvårdnadsåtgärder prioriteras inte i ett akut skede. För att kunna utveckla ambulanssjukvård är det viktigt att inte bortse från omvårdnadsbehov i det akuta skedet. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors perspektiv på om
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of leprosy at the medieval cemetery if the St Clement church in Helsingborg. The material was excavated during 1958-1962 by Margareta Weidhagen-Hallerdt, however the results from the excavation was not published until 2010. New excavations were performed during the late 1980s and the results from the osteological analysis, which was conducted b
Background: In order to decouple from carbon dioxide, alternative, renewable energy sources need to replace traditional fossil fuels. The fastest growing renewable technology has for the past years been solar, more specifically in the form of photovoltaics (PV). With the support of policy schemes, solar systems are being installed on rooftops of private houses and corporations - and are incre
Two decades after emerging from war and after many years of delay, Bosnia and Herzegovina at last submitted an EU membership application in 2016. There is little doubt, however, that candidate status and accession are still a long way off. Reform process is slow, and the country’s state of democracy is undermined by a variety of factors. To evaluate perspectives for the future, this paper investig
The VAT system has been operating since 1967 across the European Union and is currently still in need to be adopted as definitive. Some issues should be confronted in 2018 before the implementation towards a fairer and simpler system. The proposal from the Commission set up in 2016 details the changes taken into account. As a cornerstone of the mentioned VAT system, this thesis will analyse the
Facing the climate change and the energy crisis, the governments are taking steps to reduce the energy use and enhance the integration of renewable energy installations. Built environment is attributed to 40% of the global energy use, and the literature indicates that integrating the local renewable energy sources to the grid and meanwhile renovating the buildings can significantly improve the ene
Based on fieldwork interviews from two different trade unions in Luanda, this study aims to reflect on the role of civil society for the consolidation of democracy in Angola, and in particular, the challenges of trade unionism and its effects on democracy. Using the meth-od of inductive reasoning to process data, it first addresses themes derived from the inter-views such as Financial struggles, T
The Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. Surface mass balance (SMB) plus the dynamic mass losses fr
Human existence depends on a functioning food system; today’s food chain is cracking and alternative foods are being presented to the public. This thesis discusses how future food can be part of a greater discourse of climate change in the Anthropocene. Using three case studies of future food: ‘The Next Menu’, Huel and Project Nourished I investigate how future food is presented and what hidden me
The aim of this thesis, using interpretive approach, is to explore how former top-level athletes perceive leadership in their role as manager. Furthermore, how they perceive they transfer their experience in sport to their managerial role. We build our study on theories about leadership, followership, life skill development in sports and life skill transfer process. The fieldwork of this study inc
In the context of growing population and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy planning is becoming a topic of high concern. With the rapid pace of urban construction, it is claimed that 40% of America’s total energy consumption is accounted by the building sector. Energy modelling and simulation are believed to be effective in supporting urban energy planning. Today, the growing avail
In this paper, we look to develop understanding of the nature and potential impact of financial stress and fiscal shocks in the Chinese economy, examining how such stress spreads through the economy and how monetary policy can exaggerate or mitigate the resultant effects. In order to do so, we construct a TVAR model on Chinese quarterly data. To achieve that we develop a financial stress index com
