Abstract The behavior of automobile exhaust is well known through combustion science, but the potential health and environmental risks of secondary exhaust particles (created by solar irradiation) and soot are less well understood. Primary pollutants (raw exhaust) react in the atmosphere when irradiated by the Sun creating secondary pollutants (Secondary organic aerosols, SOA). The purpose of this
Big data usage is an often-hyped phenomenon within industry and academia. The automotive industry commonly employs BI technology to improve the quality of their decision-making. However, recent developments within the automotive industry such as the connected car and advanced manufacturing make big data usage increasingly important. Since the adoption of new technologies in organizations turns out
Eutrophication is one of EUs most severe environmental problems. It is therefore of great importance that governments have well functioning environmental policy instruments to manage this problem and it is essential to assess these instruments. This study evaluates the Swedish environmental policy instrument Local Water Protection Project (LOVA), which aims to reduce the release of the nutrients n

Tidigare undersökningar har visat på förhöjda halter av pesticider i svenska yt- och grundvatten. Därför har en grov riskanalys utförts i Sjöbo kommun, Skåne, för att undersöka om det föreligger en risk för rester av växtskyddsmedel i dricksvattnet i kommunens enskilda brunnar. Utifrån geologiska och hydrologiska förhållanden samt nitrathalter från tidigare analyserade vattenprover kunde framföral
The main purpose of this dissertation is to analyze how the levels of equality and trust influenced the development of different Welfare State Regimes in Brazil and Sweden (see Esping-Andersen 1990). In order to show the relationship between inequality and trust, the dissertation utilizes Jordahl’s (2007) mechanisms which posteriorly will be related to the specific historical contexts of both coun

This thesis derives from a museological perspective on contemporary art exhibitions. The core in today’s art institutions is the exhibitions. In contemporary art exhibitions there often is a question about creating a meaningful context to translate to the public. The content of contemporary art is in relation to social, political and philosophical subjects in human relationships. Together with th
Personer som genomgått amputation av en nedre extremitet kan använda sig av en mängd olika strategier för att hantera sin nya livssituation. I tidigare forskning har strategier inte fått något större fokus utan den har inriktat sig på den fysiska återhämtningen. Syftet var att beskriva vilka strategier vuxna personer som amputerat en nedre extremitet kan använda för att bemästra sin nya livssituat
The present study investigates transcontinental differences of CEO communication towards stakeholders in CSR disclosure.

Climate change is shifting from being seen as a future prediction once, the realisation that it is already a reality is growing. Action to combat its impacts has to be taken now. Next to mitigation measures increasing emphasis is put on climate change adaptation action. While mitigation aims to tackle global climate change, adaptation focuses on reducing the local impacts. Climate change adaptatio
Under 2013 skapades kampanjerna Marabou Black, Miss Skinny och DILL, som alla kom att benämnas PR-bluffar. Kampanjernas målsättning var att väcka uppmärksamhet genom vilseledande information. Huruvida dessa PR-bluffar kan anses vara etiskt godtagbara är något praktiker, PR-praktiker och reklammakare, varit oense om. Syftet med denna studie var att skapa ökad förståelse för fenomenet PR-bluff och uIn the year of 2013 three campaigns were created: Marabou Black, Miss Skinny and DILL. These campaigns were titled as PR-scams because they aimed to get attention by using misleading information. Whether PR-scams could be considered as an ethically acceptable PR-strategy or not is something practitioners, PR-practitioners and advertisers, disagree on. The aim of this study was to create a greater

The history of international human rights law shows that the articulation of human rights has often been scripted around the experiences of some rather than all. For example: men. As the creation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has tried to address specifically the oppression of women, has this fragmentation of some rather than all repeated
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to further look at which firm-adjustable factors affect the liquidity of a firm's stock in the Swedish stock market. We also want to determine which out of these suggested factors have a significant effect on liquidity across different proxies of liquidity. Finally we aim to determine whether our findings are consistent with previous research findings. Met
The conventional agricultural production system is not sustainable. Organic agriculture is assumed to be sustainable from the environmental perspective, and its production and labelling has been regulated in the European Union (EU). The EU organic regime has been challenged by proponents of agroecology, a philosophy that merges agriculture and ecology and considers environmental and social aspects
I takt med att klimatet förändras ser vi allt oftare naturkatastrofer äga rum, och Sverige är inte undantaget från denna utveckling. Samtidigt blir Facebook och andra sociala medier ett allt vanligare verktyg för kriskommunikation i offentliga organisationer. Traditionellt har forskning inom kriskommunikation ett managementperspektiv och därför undersöker denna kandidatuppsats istället kriskommuniAs the climate on our planet is changing, natural disasters are occurring increasingly often, and Sweden is not an exception. At the same time, Facebook and other social media are more frequently used as crisis communication tools among public organizations. Traditionally, research within the field of Crisis Communication is pursued from a management perspective, and therefore this thesis uses a r
Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is a threat to our society, many young Canadians do not view it as a major issue. This suggests flaws in the way that youth are educated on climate change. I therefore investigated climate change education in Canada to recommend improvements. I analyzed Canadian secondary science curricula according to two frameworks to determine ho
