Purpose: Return policies are an important component for consumers when making a decision to transact with an E-tailer, as such it is equally important for E-tailers’ that the returns policy aids in this decision by reducing information asymmetry. While lenient return policies have the ability to influence the customer positively, they are also subject to opportunistic behavior from consumers, as
Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur accounts används i finansiell rapportering av företag som misslyckades att nå prognoser av analytiker. Vi ämnade dessutom att undersöka likheter och skillnader avseende användandet av accounts bland utvalda företag i Sverige och Singapore.
Studien avsåg undersöka hur kontext påverkade eventsegmentering och minnesbaserad, temporal bedömning. Vidare undersöktes samband mellan psykiskt mående och förmåga till eventsegmentering. Ett datoriserat minnestest användes för att utforska hur kontext påverkade upplevelsen av temporal närhet mellan två objekt. Objekten hade tidigare presenterats med antingen samma kontext, två olika kontexter elThe study intended to examine how context influenced event segmentation and memory based, temporal estimation. Furthermore the study explored correlation between mental illness and event segmentation. A computerized memory test was conducted to investigate how the contexts influenced the estimation of temporal proximity between two objects. The objects were presented with either same context, two
Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla ett konceptförslag på ett avtagbart handtag till köksredskap som är anpassat till personer med reumatism. Då reumatism ofta inträffar i en senare del av livet har individen i fråga redan en uppsättning av köksredskap. Handtaget är därför menat att vara avtagbart så att användaren kan använda sina existerande knivar istället för att kö
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to understand how customers construct the relationship, prior identified in the literature, between packaging, haptic sensory and perception with regard to FMCG products. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the role of haptic packaging characteristics on FMCG products for customers. Methodology: The philosophies of epistemology and ontology were considered b
When an agitator is in commission for an extended period of time the impellers can become clogged. In order to clean the impeller, the agitator is runned backwards. This is one of the main functions for a product that CG Drives & Automation is developing for a customer in the agitator business. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop and test this product for CG Drives & Automati
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood material that is often used as load-carrying element in multi-storey buildings (with more than two floors) with wooden frame. Sometimes it is necessary to make notches in load-carrying elements in order to create space for installations. Today there are no instructions regarding how to design CLT in Eurocode. Design of CLT can instead be based on European tec

The aim of this thesis is to highlight what makes a good bicycle infrastructure with the goal to increase bicycling in urban areas. The focus has been to evaluate the bicycle infrastructure in the city of Lund, by investigating the differences between the main bicycle routes and the regular bicycle network in the city. A literature review of both scientific literature and bicycle planning manuals
Product quality is a major concern for all companies. Predicting the lifetime return rate allows for identification of products with atypically high return rates. Such products might otherwise not have been detected before it is too late to take any action to reduce the return rate. Furthermore, predicting a product’s return rate allows for estimation of the company’s expected cost of handling ret
This thesis will examine the plausibility of exchanging protocol from a normal server-client to a peer-to-peer solution for over-the-air updates, using a single case study for Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. It will examine the effort, the risks, and what the actual gain may be comparing to a client-server approach for over-the-air software updates. Sony Mobile today uses a content
Abstract Introduction: Smoking is a major public health concern, accounting for nearly 700,000 deaths on an annual basis, globally. The socio-economic differences within smoking are well established, reflected in a social gradient that is estimated to account for half of the socio- economic differences in mortality for men aged 35-69 years in developed settings, such as the European region. Aim:
Inom nuvarande forskning om Internet of Things (IoT) finns det inte många studier som har tittat på användarperspektivet eller på hur företag som är verksamma inom IoT avväger användarupplevelse när de utvecklar IoT-produkter. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur användarupplevelsen tas hänsyn till under utvecklingsprocessen för IoT. Den syftar också till att undersöka i vilken utsträckninIn current research of Internet of Things (IoT), there is limited research on the user perspective and even less on how companies operating in the field consider User Experience (UX) when developing for IoT. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how UX is considered during the development process of IoT. It also includes exploring to which extent this is done with a data-driven approach. The st
This paper focuses on description and analysis of the management control systems (MCSs) in different startup companies. The qualitative study with an exploratory approach was chosen. In order to identify factors that affect MCSs in the startups, and examine actual impact on the design of MCS in these companies, interviews have been conducted with three Swedish firms, selected from the group of com
In this master thesis the consistent initialization problem is studied and three different algorithms were developed regarding the subject area - a graph algorithm used for solving the initialization problem, a parallel algorithm to enable parallel computations when solving the initialization problem and lastly a genetic algorithm used as a preprocessing stage for parallelization. The thesis is b
The decentralization of fiscal responsibilities in China has strengthened economic development and enhanced local public management. However, due to fiscal competition, local governments that are fiscally constrained tend to neglect environmental standards in favour of economic growth. This study researches how outcomes of fiscal federalism in China, measured by budgetary ratios of gross regional
Cities around the world are leading the race toward an environmentally sustainable future, but one of their major obstacles have been the personal automobile. The movement of people using public transportation often has a far lower impact than the personal automobile, but these systems are often rigid and expensive to build and operator. Now, with the emergence of intelligent transport systems – a
Det europeiska Dataskyddsdirektivet avser bland annat att skydda enskilda individers integritet vid brottsbekämpande och behöriga myndigheters behandling av personuppgifter. Genom att uppmärksamma svensk tillämpning av Dataskyddsdirektivet vill jag belysa balansen mellan integritet och kontraterrorism. Jag har valt realism som teoretisk utgångspunkt då realism kan förklara staters intressen. Det i
This thesis is a general overlook on the societal benefits of walking infrastructure. It is divided between a literature review; concerning what makes people walk, what benefits this might give and how to place a value on these factors, and an empirical part; researching how evaluating value, and by other means quantifying effects, is used and can be used in the planning of walking infrastructure.
