The purpose of this thesis is to gain an understanding of the credibility gap between consumers and marketing strategies that aims at gaining moral legitimacy by taking a stand, since it is becoming increasingly important for companies to gain moral legitimacy. By triangulating theories within consumer culture theory, corporate social responsibility and organizational legitimacy and conducting a q
Having a specialized editor or IDE has become commonplace for many programming languages. Smaller languages, especially domain-specific ones that normally have very narrow usage areas, often lack such convenience features due to their naturally small user base. Tools for implementing editor support for these languages are called language workbenches. Unfortunately these often lack features for mor
The data visualization softwares Qlikview and Qlik Sense are based on an associative data model, and this thesis analyzes different tools and methods for solving 0-1 integer programs as well as examines their applicability to the computational engine behind these softwares. The first parts are dedicated to a theoretical background on mathematical optimization, linear programming and Qlik’s impleme
Abort är lagligt i Vietnam sedan 1945. Vietnam har under flera årtioden haft bland de högsta aborttalen i världen. Avsaknaden av trovärdiga siffror på abort och samlad information på abort talar för ett behov av en övergripande beskrivning av nuvarande lagstiftning och situation. Inget övergripande arbete har tidigare gjorts kring abortlagstiftningen. Denna uppsats, till viss del utförd i Vietnam,Abortion was legalized in Vietnam in 1945. Vietnam has for decades had among the highest abortion rates in the world. Due to the lack of reliable numbers on abortion and a lack of collected information on abortion a comprehensive picture of the current legislation and situation is well needed. No overview of the abortion legislation in Vietnam has been provided earlier. This thesis, partly conduct
Abstract Purpose: A new phenomenon has emerged in the world of branding which has not yet been researched in an academic setting. Brands that look the same, feel the same, offer similar business models towards consumers but still somehow feel modern and unique at a first glance. The purpose of this exploratory paper is to define and analyze the phenomenon of blands. Methodology: A literature rev
Introduction: Knowing the viscosity of carbon dioxide expanded solvents is important in extraction and chromatography processes due to its effect on mass transfer. Background: Rather few studies on viscosity of carbon dioxide expanded ethanol at different pressures, temperatures, and molar ratios exist. Aim(s): Building a system and validating a method to determine the viscosity of supercritic
The purpose of this text is to, through a case study of Russia and Ukraine, analyze the relationship between effectivity of contract enforcement and regime type. The hypothesize is that authoritarian regimes in which incumbents’ power is more safely secured will have a more robust and independent judiciary than hybrid regimes, which will have a positive effect on contract enforcement. The analysis
This paper evaluates whether a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach can be implemented, on the Swedish stock market, to optimize a portfolio. The objective is to create and train two DRL algorithms that can construct portfolios that will be benchmarked against the market portfolio, tracking OMXS30, and the two conventional methods, the naive portfolio, and minimum variance portfolio. We eval
Trots att barn under 15 år är inte straffmyndiga och därmed inte får dömas till någon påföljd kan brott de begår bli föremål för en polisutredning. När möjligheten för polisen att utreda brott begångna av icke straffmyndiga barn infördes på 80-talet var det främst för att resultatet av utredningen skulle ligga till grund för samhällets sociala insatser beträffande barnet, ett ändamål som ändrats mDespite the fact that children under the age of 15 are not criminally responsible and therefore cannot be sentenced to any punishment, they can still be investigated by the police. When the possibility to investigate crimes committed by children under the age of 15 was introduced in the 1980s, the purpose was mainly to assist the social services with information about the child in order to provide
Den här studien uppstod ur behovet av studier om kompositionsundervisning på högre nivå. Syftet var att undersöka hur lärarens och elevernas roller gestaltar sig i en kompositionsutbildning på en folkhögskola. Frågeställningarna berörde aspekter som roller och funktioner hos lärare och praxisgemenskap samt återkoppling och gestaltning av kompositionsprocesser. För att studera dessa perspektiv har This study arose from the need for more studies on the teaching of musical composition at higher levels. The purpose was to examine how the roles of the teacher and the students take shape in a course of musical composition at a Swedish folk high school. Aspects studied include the roles and functions of the teacher and the community of practice, as well as the shaping of compositional processes a
Gaze behaviour has previously been shown to support memory retrieval. Looking at the encoding location of a to-be-retrieved object leads to higher retrieval performance. How gaze exerts this function is still unknown. One possibility is that gaze fixations upregulate the activity and accessibility of memories associated with a looked-at location. This study uses an adapted retrieval-practice parad
Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre
Today, organizational competitiveness largely depends on a company’s ability to learn, which is why more and more organizations aim to enhance organizational learning through practicing Knowledge Management (KM). Due to the little research on organizational culture and subcultures in KM literature, practitioners often embark on KM change efforts in a technocratic fashion and focus solely on techno
I mogna industrier prioriteras ofta verkningsgrad och processen snarare än själva produkten. Detta innebär att dessa industrier anpassar sig långsamt när de externa förhållandena skiftar. Exempel på sådan industri är Sveriges köttindustri. Denna präglas av stor klimatpåverkan, även stora mängder matsvinn. Nya teknologier undersökes i nuläget för att skärpa detta svinn; exempel på sådan teknologi äThe competitive landscape mature industries find themselves in tends to make them enforce practices that ruthlessly focus on efficiency and process. This narrow focus makes them slow to adapt to changes in the external environment in which they operate. One such case is the Swedish meat industry. Like many industries, there are downsides involved with meat production and for meat a significant one
The cost of developing and researching novel molecular compounds in the pharmaceutical industry is very high today. If an actor accidentally releases too much information about a novel molecule to the public the molecule becomes prior art, and as an effect, can not be patented. This has resulted in a fragmented space where collaboration across organizations is virtually non-existent. We propose a
Ökad risk för konflikter mellan naturvård och friluftsliv i skyddad natur ställer höga krav på en effektiv naturförvaltning, inte minst i Söderåsens nationalpark. Besöksantalet i Söderåsens nationalpark har ökat markant på sistone, vilket vittnar om en stadig uppgång för naturturismen och en växande friluftsrörelse. Nationalparken har höga naturvärden och är en populär tillflyktsort bland såväl
