Bakgrund: Sälj och verksamhetsplanering (SVP) är ett ramverk för att balansera utbud och efterfrågan. Processens huvudsakliga syfte är att adressera komplexitet vid planering genom tvärfunktionellt samarbete, vilket involverar nyckelpersoner från relevanta avdelningar. För att effektivt bedriva SVP måste planeringen ske på rätt nivå. Om den görs på en för detaljerad nivå blir den översiktliga bild

Indigenous tourism is a debated topic as the lifestyle and culture of indigenous groups are increasingly being promoted as tourist attractions, especially by tourism promotors targeting tourists in more developed countries. Indigenous tourism has become a widely adopted approach used to generate income for indigenous communities, and to the countries in which they are located. However, the commodi

While previous research suggests that top managers’ long-term orientation is related to their strategic decision making processes, few studies have investigated this relationship in a Western cultural context. Therefor, the aim of the current thesis is to investigate the relationship between long-term orientation and strategic decision making processes, specifically, decision comprehensiveness, de

Produktionen av plast ökar snabbt och ständigt. Användningen, eller snarare brister i användningen av plast, uppmärksammas i allt större utsträckning. Ständigt publiceras bilder i media som visar stora berg av plastavfall som flyter omkring i haven. En stor andel av plastavfallet består av förpackningar. Den aktuella studiens utgångspunkt har därför varit en nationell målsättning som vill minska pPackaging stands for the largest use of plastic today and increased recycling of plastic packaging must be urged to maintain our natural resources. Plastic packaging is essential in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, however the environmental impact of plastic packaging implies that the industry should take responsibility in this matter. The purpose of this study is to define which ac

Skocpol’s States and Social Revolutions, first published in 1979, was a hugely influential book encapsulating what has become known as the “Third Generation” of theories of revolution. In it, she argues that “revolutions are not made, they come” (Skocpol, 1979, 17), insisting that structural factors such as pre-revolutionary social structure and state breakdown were primarily responsible for the o

On the basis of the recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to transition from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to Expected Shortfall (ES) in determining market risk capital, this paper attempts to investigate whether a Recurrent Neural Network provides more accurate VaR and ES predictions of the EUR/USD exchange rate compared to the conventional GARCH(1,1) model. A number of previous stud

The juvenile discount for young offenders aged 18 to 20 years old has been topical and debated for a long time. The government has appointed an investigation to investigate whether or not a removal of the penalty discount for young offenders should take place. Legally speaking the investigation must further investigate the regulation of the juvenile discount which is found in chapter 29, 7 § of th

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Parkinsons sjukdom är den näst vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomen efter Alzheimers sjukdom och idag lever ungefär 24000 personer med Parkinsons sjukdom i Sverige. Vanliga symptom är skakningar i vila, muskelstelhet samt försämrad rörelseförmåga. Symptomen uppkommer till följd av en sänkt koncentration av dopamin i hjärnan. Till en början är motorsymptomen lindriga men förvärras med tiden då fler doParkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease and today more than 6 million people are living with PD world-wide (2018). PD is characterized by muscle stiffness, shaking at rest, and postural imbalance. The symptoms are caused by a decreased dopamine (DA) level in the brain due to a gradual loss of DA producing neurons. The cause and trigger of th

There is widespread consensus that teamwork constitutes one of the key requirements in today’s multidisciplinary and highly complex system of delivering care. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to questions of how to define, teach, measure, and improve teamwork in healthcare. However, one cannot help but feel a certain disconnect between this ongoing trend, with an associated bia

Många avloppsreningsverk har inte den reningen som krävs för att fånga upp läkemedelsrester vilket leder till att resterna hamnar i miljön. Hittills har läkemedelsresterna inte varit ett så stort problem, men på grund av ett mer frekvent användande av läkemedel blir det allt vanligare att högre koncentrationer av läkemedelsrester återfinns i akvatiska miljöer. Några av dom som återkommer högst i uPharmaceutical residues are becoming more appearing in aquatic systems and it is affecting aquatic organisms. A literature analysis was made to determine if biochar can adsorb pharmaceutical residues and if it is more effective than the already established filter material active carbon. This study shows that biochar has good promises to be able to act as a filter to adsorb pharmaceutical residues.

Samhället med dess invånare och infrastruktur är utsatt för ett flertal risker och sårbarheter. Enligt lag är kommunerna skyldiga att identifiera vilka risker och sårbarheter som existerar inom kommunens geografiska område. Hanteringen av risker och sårbarheter i samhället sker delvis genom att kommuner upprättar en risk- och sårbarhetsanalys (RSA). RSA-arbetet ska innefatta vilka risker, sårbarhe

I Kristianstads kommun har man som en typ av situationell brottsförebyggande åtgärd valt att sätta upp kameraövervakning i det utsatta bostadsområdet Charlottesborg. Med en sådan påtaglig åtgärd i ett utsatt område väcks det mycket förväntningar om dess effekter. Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga vilka förväntningar yrkesverksamma hade på kamerorna innan de installerades, men även om de ans

While society becomes increasingly visualised, and research has argued for visuals being inherently strategic, strategic communication research lacks a visual perspective. To address this problem, this study investigates how challenger brands communicate visually and how the visuals’ meaning adds to the challenger narrative. Challenger brands are chosen as an example because of their determined mi

Like many other West African countries, The Gambia faces challenges regarding discrimination based on descent, which relates to the inherited disadvantage of being born into a specific group (RADDHO & IDSN, 2012). This sociological case study has the analytical purpose of discussing the case of social stratification and descent-based discrimination in the Fulani village of Nokuta in The Gambia

Abstract: There is growing numbers of literature debating over effective types of innovation modes and interactions that generate innovation output and moreover economic growth. However, these studies are mostly based on the case of developed countries and only few studies cover developing or transition countries. Within this context Estonia is chosen as the most successful post-Soviet transition

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to increase the understanding of phenomena surrounding the implementation of Big Data Analytics into the audit methodology, within the context of medium and large-sized audit firms, and how auditing knowledge and its dissemination affects the implementation process. Theoretical perspectives: An analytical model based on previous research regarding Big Data An
