Undersökningen hargjorts genom att ta fram en bokningsprototyp och resulterade i för ?och nackdelar,användningsområde och hur CQRS, Event Sourcing och händelsebaserat gränssnitt kanimplementeras tillsammans..

I dagens samhälle kan en tendens urskiljas att ökade krav ställs på företag gällande miljö, etik och sociala frågor. Därmed har begreppet CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) vuxit fram och många branscher arbetar idag aktivt med socialt ansvarstagande. Studiens syfte var att undersöka CSR ur både ett konsumentperspektiv och ett marknadsföringsperspektiv. Tyngdpunkten låg på konsumentperspektivet och problemformuleringen formulerades därför till: Hur påverkas svenska konsumenters kunskap, attityder och köpbeteenden av att svenska klädföretag bedriver ett CSR arbete? Fokus ligger på de etiska aspekterna av CSR och hur konsumenterna påverkas av dessa när de handlar kläder.

The aim of this thesis is to find a statistical model that sort logs according to a predicted modulus of elasticity on the sawn boards. The input parameters for the model are X-ray variables from an X-ray scanner. For some of the log classes sawn at the sawmill it is desirable to have a narrow distribution of modulus of elasticity on the sawn boards. 250 pine logs from five different diameter classes were numbered and followed through the sawmill process. Log data were collected from X-ray and 3-D scanners in the log intake.
