Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Geografiska Informationssystem (GIS) är ett system för att hantera geografisk data som jämfört med traditionella forskningsmetoder gör det lättare att sammanställa och analysera dessa data. GIS började utvecklas i Nordamerika på 1960-talet och har under de senaste två decennierna haft stor påverkan på hur hanteringen av rumslig data går till. Användningsområdena Geographical Information System (GIS) is a technique that has revolutionized the way we process spatial data. The possibilities for GIS are endless and it is today used in a wide range of subject areas such as social planning, environmental monitoring and marketing. However, the process of implementing GIS is a long and usually runs in to a lot of problems. The aim of this study is to compare and

The objective of this report was to investigate different types of glass when exposed to heat radiation from a typical fire in a dangerous goods carrier. The purpose was to evaluate if tempered glass could be used in facades instead of the more expensive fire resistant glass. Experiments were made in a cone calorimeter where different thicknesses of laminated, tempered and fire resistant glass wer

RegVis är en plattform som visualiserar nyckelvariabler inom regional utveckling och hur dessa förändras över tid och rum och hur de påverkar varandra.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether placement, using a special display, of ecological products, will have an effect on consumer buying behaviour and thereby sales of these products. When talking about sales we refer to the amount of ecological products that are being bought, habitual and unplanned, as a response due to the placement of the products in-store. To further elucidate t

Problemställning: Low tech-komponenter anses enligt teoretiska rekommendationer ofta som icke kritiska. Dock har de egenskaper som en gång ansågs synnerligen low tech förmodligen förändrats och blivit mer komplexa i takt med att underliggande krav inom high tech-miljöer har ökat. Det är befogat att diskutera och kanske omdefiniera de eventuellt senare omprioriterade komponenterna, vilka i aggreger

Using the models from van Maanen and Schein (1977) and Dutton et al. (1994), we have been able to investigate the socialization process and organizational identification both from the organizational as well as the individual’s perspective. The link between these two perspectives establishes a better insight into the company’s actual socialization intentions and the individual’s identification with
