Kaffeindustrin är en stor bidragande faktor till de livshotande miljöproblem jorden genomgår. Sverige är ett av de länder som dricker mest kaffe i världen, därmed undersöker denna studie hur en svensk kafékedja arbetar med CSR inom området kommunikation. Syftet är att undersöka hur hållbarhetskommunikation bedrivs inom en kafékedja vars ambition är att genomföra ett hållbart arbete. Därmed undersöks det KRAV-märkta företaget Wayne’s Coffees hållbarhetskommunikation utifrån kommunikationsteorins två indelningar, symmetrisk och asymmetrisk kommunikation. Denna studie bidrar med ny data inom CSR och hållbarhetskommunikation genom att undersöka hur ett svenskt företag kommunicerar sitt hållbarhetsarbete. Datainsamling har skett genom intervjuer med Wayne’s Coffees produkt- och hållbarhetschef samt företagets anställda. Likaså har företagets kunder besvarat en webbenkät och en fysisk enkätundersökning. Slutsatserna är att Wayne’s Coffee arbetar både symmetriskt och asymmetriskt i sin hållbarhetskommunikation. Företaget använder sig främst av asymmetrisk kommunikation internt och externt. Wayne's Coffees hållbarhetskommunikation är fungerande internt genom intranät och dialog med ledningen. Däremot finns brister i den externa kommunikationen, asymmetrisk kommunikation i form av reklamkampanjer når inte ut till företagets kunder. / The coffee industry has a significant environmental impact and is a major contributor to environmental issues. Since Sweden is one of the countries that consumes the most coffee in the world, this study examines how a Swedish coffee chain works with CSR, specifically communication. The purpose is to investigate how communication regarding sustainability is conducted within a cafe chain whose ambition is to be environmental friendly. To answer the purpose, the KRAV-labeled company Wayne's Coffee's environmental communication is examined on the basis of the two divisions of communication theory, symmetrical and asymmetric communication. This study contributes with new data in environmental communication, specifically CSR, by examining how a Swedish company communicates its environmental work. The method is conducted through interviews with Wayne's Coffee's product and sustainability manager as well as the company's employees, a web survey and physical survey with the company's customers. The conclusions are that Wayne's Coffee works both symmetrically and asymmetrically in its environmental communication. The company mainly uses asymmetric communication both internally and externally. Wayne’s Coffee's environmental communication is functioning internally through intranet and dialogue with management. However, there are shortcomings in external communication, asymmetric communication in the form of advertising campaigns does not reach out to the company's customers.

El presente trabajo propone la aplicación de lineamientos y herramientas de la filosofía Lean Construction para lograr una adecuada planificación, ejecución y control de proyectos de construcción de edificaciones multifamiliares con el objetivo de minimizar y prevenir los diversos problemas en obra, que no sólo repercuten en costo, tiempo y calidad sino también en la imagen de la empresa. A través de estas herramientas se busca lograr disminuir los retrabajos, el incumplimiento de calidad, mejorar la rentabilidad del proyecto y disminuir la cantidad de observaciones de post venta para lograr la satisfacción de los clientes del caso de estudio Precursores. Finalmente se espera que con el presente trabajo se logre tener un mejor enfoque de gestión de proyectos multifamiliares y que sirva como punto de partida para que empresas constructoras y profesionales logren sus objetivos superando la expectativa de sus clientes / Abstract: This research work proposes the application of guidelines and tools of Lean Construction philosophy to achieve adequate planning, building and control of multi-family building projects with the objective of minimizing and preventing various problems at work, which only affect in cost, time and quality but also in the image of the company. Through these tools, we expect to reduce reworks, non-compliance quality, improve the profitability of the project and reduce the number of post-sale observations to achieve customer satisfaction in Precursores case study. Finally, it is expected that in this work a better approach to multi-family project management will be achieved and it will serve as a starting point for building companies and professionals to achieve their objectives and surpassing the expectations of their clients. / Tesis

We synthesized and analyzed the findings to propose improvements and foster the long-term growth of small- and medium-sized cooperatives. Our improvement proposal is based on the supply chain models implemented in the industry. The research also relied on information sources from researchers with experience in the assessment and analysis of the perishable food supply chain in different scenarios worldwide.

Approximately 40,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with endometrial cancer annually. Biological data suggest coffee or tea consumption may lower endometrial cancer risk through estrogenic and insulin-mediated pathways. Epidemiologic data are inconsistent, with two of three prospective cohort studies showing an inverse association with coffee consumption and two prospective cohort studies finding no association with tea consumption. We used publicly available data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study to evaluate the association between coffee, tea and endometrial cancer risk. We identified 48,912 eligible post-menopausal women with a mean follow-up time of 7.5 years. During this period there were 452 incident endometrial cancer cases. We used Cox-proportional hazard models to evaluate the effects of coffee and tea consumption on endometrial cancer risk, while adjusting for potential confounders including age, body mass index and hormone therapy use. Overall, we did not find an association between coffee consumption and endometrial cancer risk. Compared to women who did not drink coffee on a daily basis (none or < 1 cup/day), the multivariable adjusted hazard ratios for women who drank 2-3 cups/day was 0.95 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74,1.22] for total coffee, 0.91 (95% CI 0.68,1.23) for regular coffee, and 0.94 (0.62,1.42) for decaf coffee. Compared to obese women who did not drink coffee on a daily basis (none or < 1 cup/day), the multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for obese women who drank ≥ 2cups/day as reported at baseline were: 0.79 (95% CI 0.53,1.17] for total coffee, 0.62 (95% CI 0.39,1.00) for regular coffee, and 0.78 (95% CI 0.40,1.50) for decaf coffee. Furthermore, obese women who consistently reported drinking ≥2 cups of regular coffee/day had an even further reduced risk [HR 0.40 (95% CI 0.18,0.91)]. In comparison to women who did not drink tea on a daily basis, obese women who drank 1 cup and ≥ 2cups of tea/day had multivariable adjusted hazard ratios of 0.45 (95% CI 0.22,0.92) and 0.99 (95% CI 0.60,1.62), respectively. The results from our study suggest that regular coffee consumption may be protective against endometrial cancer among obese postmenopausal women, with inconclusive results for tea. Our study adds to the biological understanding and to the small body of prevalent epidemiologic literature on coffee consumption and endometrial cancer risk.
