Going the Extra Mile : Urban Delivery of Large Goods / Gå den extra milen : Urban sista-milen-leverans av stort gods

Sundström, Emelie, Södergren, Emma January 2021 (has links)
In light of the growing e-commerce and rising population in cities, along with the ongoing climate crisis, the efforts to improve transportation options are intensifying. Thus, the field of last-mile delivery, i.e., the last stretch of transportation to an end customer, is becoming an increasingly researched topic. Innovative delivery solutions, leveraging novel technology or business concepts, are quickly becoming a necessity to retain customer satisfaction while performing sustainable and cost-efficient deliveries. Facing the challenges associated with the last mile is especially arduous in the context of large goods, i.e., packages which are significantly larger than parcels that would fit in a regular mail or post box, and may include furniture, home appliances and other bulky tools. Despite that large goods delivery comprises a large market, there is limited research on how novel last-mile delivery innovations, mainly discussed for application on parcels, can be deployed for larger items. This thesis is an explorative and qualitative study which starts in a background of important trends in transportation, and moves on to provide an analysis of three cities (Barcelona, San Francisco and Seoul), as well as a fourth city (Stockholm) that is both analyzed and considered for implementation. This is done in the form of a case study where data is collected from a literature review as well as interviews with representatives from the company IKEA. Various last-mile delivery concepts are explained and analyzed with Rogers’ diffusion of innovation framework. The research generated insights on how a mixture of different solutions have emerged on the studied markets, mainly based on social, technological and regulatory factors. Although most of them would be theoretically usable for medium to large goods in the future, there are different obstacles to a commercial-scale adoption today, with technological and regulatory maturity being main hurdles. Parcel deliveries play a part in driving customer expectations forward, forcing large goods retailers to evolve their deliveries in order to not lose business. Ecosystems of delivery solutions are likely to emerge in the future, catering to customers’ flexibility demands. In terms of concrete solutions, e-cargo bikes, pick-up points and neighbourhood deliveries are identified as appropriate for the current market state of Stockholm and related third party agreements, physical properties and platforms are discussed in the context of implementation. Additionally, suggestions for future research is to consider further models for generalizing implementation requirements, along with deepening the analysis of last-mile delivery ecosystems by looking into actors for the suggested solutions. / I och med ökande e-handel och stigande befolkning i städer, i kombination med en pågående klimatkris, intensifieras ansträngningar för att förbättra existerande transportalternativ. Därmed ökar mängden av forskning som fokuserar på last-mile delivery (ungefär sista milen-leverans), med andra ord den sista biten av en transportsträcka innan en vara når slutkunden. Innovativa leveranslösningar, som drar nytta av ny teknik eller nya affärsmodeller, håller snabbt på att bli en nödvändighet för att upprätthålla kundnöjdhet, samtidigt som leveransers kostnadseffektivitet och hållbarhet måste säkerställas. Utmaningarna som är associerade med sista milen är särskilt svårlösta när det kommer till stort gods, vilket är kollin som är signifikant större än vanliga paket som skulle få plats i en brevlåda eller postbox, och inkluderar bland annat möbler, vitvaror och andra skrymmande varor. Trots att leverans av stort gods utgör en omfattande marknad så är den befintliga forskningen begränsad vad gäller hur nya last-mile-innovationer kan användas för stort gods; detta diskuteras framförallt i samband med vanliga paket. Denna uppsats är en explorativ och kvalitativ studie som tar avstamp i en bakgrund som beskriver viktiga transporttrender och vidare analyserar tre städer (Barcelona, San Francisco och Seoul), samt en fjärde stad (Stockholm) som både analyseras och diskuteras för potentiell implementation. Detta utförs i form av en fallstudie där datan inkluderar en litteraturstudie samt intervjuer med representanter från företaget IKEA. Flertalet last-mile-leveranskoncept förklaras och analyseras med Rogers’ teori för innovationers spridning. Studien gav insikter om hur en blandning av olika lösningar har uppkommit på de undersökta marknaderna, i huvudsak beroende av sociala, tekniska och legala faktorer. Fastän de flesta i teorin skulle kunna appliceras på medelstort till stort gods i framtiden så finns det idag olika svårigheter som bromsar införandet av dessa på en kommersiell skala; teknisk och legal mognad verkar vara de huvudsakliga hindren. Paketleveranser spelar en viktig roll i att driva på kundernas förväntningar, vilket tvingar försäljare av stora varor att utveckla sina leveranser för att inte tappa sin omsättning. Ekosystem av leveranslösningar kommer troligen att utvecklas i framtiden för att möta kundernas krav på flexibilitet. Vad gäller konkreta lösningar identifieras elektriska lastcyklar, upphämtningsställen och grannskapsleveranser som passande för dagens Stockholm, och följande tredjepartsavtal, fysiska egenskaper och plattformar diskuteras i implementationssammanhang. Fortsatt föreslås framtida studier att överväga ytterligare modeller för att vidareutveckla och generalisera implementationskrav, samt att fördjupa analysen av ekosystem relaterade till last-mile-leveranser genom att undersöka involverade aktörer för de föreslagna lösningarna.

La recherche contemporaine sur l'efficacité de l'enseignant

Côté, Richard 25 April 2018 (has links)
Quelles dimensions peut-on relier à l'efficacité de l'enseignement dans la classe? Quelle importance doit-on accorder à l'enseignant lui-même face au processus d'enseignement et aux effets ou apprentissages visés par l'école? Quelles sont les dimensions de l'enseignant qui sont les plus reliées aux effets visés par l'enseignement? Telles sont les questions que nous nous sommes posées au début de cette recherche. La démarche que nous voulons entreprendre vise à dégager, dans le vaste contexte de l'efficacité dans l'enseignement, les dimensions qui touchent plus précisément à l'efficacité de l'enseignant. Dans cette optique, nous voulons d'abord élaborer une synthèse critique des études qui ont porté sur les différentes dimensions de l'efficacité de l'enseignant. Dans la deuxième partie de notre démarche, nous allons définir le problème de l'efficacité de l'enseignant en regroupant les dimensions de l'efficacité de l'enseignant qui nous semblent les plus importantes et profitables à investiguer. Nous allons, ensuite, définir notre problème de recherche. Dans une dernière étape, nous présenterons le cadre théorique qui va soutenir nos investigations. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2014

No. of bitstreams: 1 2010_dis_CRSDPonte.PDF: 785994 bytes, checksum: 43007e0aef45ddb8ddabd44c5772fc19 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / From a epistemological reading of some writings of the American psychologist, Carl R. Rogers, in which he declares “theoretical affinities” with the thought of the Danish philosopher, Sören Kierkegaard, the biggest objective of this study is to collate the concepts of “Individual”, delineated by Kierkegaard, and the concept of “Person”, formulated by Rogers, in its similarities and differences. Contributing to the constitution of one more face of the Person-Centrered Approaching epistemology (created and developed by Rogers), is also intention of this research, to approximate these concepts taking as support the hypothesis of that the supposed kierkegaardian influence in Roger’s production is not so significant as he (Rogers) and, over all, his commentators, wants to make to believe. Being Kierkegaard in a philosophical and epistemological dimension of a pietistic and anguished Christianity, where its biggest goal was to show the true “Christian-to-be”, and also that the “Individual” is that one who chooses to exist subjectively in a tensioned relation with God, hardly could his philosophy stand as another so heterogeneous context as it was the case of Humanist North America Psychology, where Rogers had space and that considered the “Person” as a “reliable worthy organism” that keeps in itself the potentialities of constructing itself in all its spheres and in direction to an authentic existence and congruence. Approaching the concepts of “Individual” and “Person” in its similarities and differences, describing until where the influence of Kierkegaard in the rogerian thought is veridical, it is intended to show the place in fact of the kierkegaardian philosophy in the construction of the psychology centered in the person effected by Rogers. / A partir de uma leitura epistemológica de vários escritos do psicólogo estadunidense, Carl R. Rogers, em que ele declara “afinidades” teóricas com o pensamento do filósofo dinamarquês, Sören Kierkegaard, o objetivo maior deste estudo é confrontar os conceitos de “Indivíduo”, delineado por Kierkegaard, e o conceito de “Pessoa”, formulado por Rogers, em suas similaridades e diferenças. Contribuindo na constituição de mais uma faceta da epistemologia da Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa (criada e desenvolvida por Rogers), é também intenção desta pesquisa, aproximar estes conceitos apoiando-se na hipótese de que a suposta influência kierkegaardiana na obra de Rogers não é tão significativa como ele (Rogers) e, sobretudo, seus comentadores, querem fazer crer. Estando Kierkegaard numa dimensão filosófica e epistemológica de um cristianismo pietista e angustiado, em que sua meta maior era mostrar o verdadeiro “devir cristão”, e que o “Indivíduo” é aquele que escolhe existir ligado subjetivamente numa relação tensionada com Deus, dificilmente poderia sua filosofia servir de base em outro contexto tão heterogêneo como era o da psicologia humanista norte-americana, onde Rogers tinha seu espaço e que considerava a “Pessoa” como um “organismo digno de confiança” que guarda em si mesma as potencialidades de se construir em todas as suas esferas e em direção a uma existência congruente e autêntica. Aproximando os conceitos de “Indivíduo” e de “Pessoa” em suas semelhanças e diferenças, descrevendo até onde a influência de Kierkegaard no pensamento rogeriano é verídica, pretende-se mostrar o lugar de fato da filosofia kierkegaardiana na construção da psicologia centrada na pessoa efetuada por Rogers.

Le massacre de la mission de Saint-François : mécanismes de domination et allégeance des Abénaquis à l'autorité coloniale britannique (1754-1814)

Houde, Patrick January 2012 (has links)
Alliés aux Français dans le désir de repousser les Anglais, les Abénaquis ne se gênent pas pour harceler les colons anglais établis le long de la frontière de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. S'ils agissent ainsi, c'est qu'ils désirent repousser les Anglais hors de leurs territoires de chasse de la côte Atlantique. Au cours des divers conflits entre Français et Anglais, les Abénaquis se sont forgé une réputation de féroces guerriers. C'est d'ailleurs celle-ci que le major anglais Robert Rogers cherche à mettre à l'épreuve lors de la Guerre de Sept Ans. C'est donc accompagné de 200 de ses Rangers qu'il s'enfonce dans les bois avec comme seul but, venger les nombreuses familles victimes des attaques abénaquises. Au matin du 4 octobre 1759, Rogers met le village à feu et à sang, avant de s'en retourner péniblement vers le fort No.4 à Charlestown. Avec l'effondrement de leur mission et le départ des Français, les Abénaquis se retrouvent devant de nouvelles autorités coloniales, cette fois-ci britanniques. Maintenant gouvernés par l'ennemi, l'expédition de Rogers sur la mission abénaquise de Saint-François a déclenché un processus de repli et de crainte face aux nouveaux dirigeants. S'assurer de la docilité des Indiens constitue la meilleure façon de les contrôler et d'empêcher une révolte. Il en résulte une nouvelle relation, basée sur la crainte et la menace, facilitant l'adhésion des Abénaquis à la politique diplomatique des Britanniques. Durant les premières années du régime britannique, les autorités vont grandement se servir de cette crainte de représailles, dans le but de s'assurer de l'obéissance des Indiens envers la couronne britannique. Que ce soit pour mater la révolte qui se prépare dans les Grands Lacs avec Pontiac, durant la Guerre d'Indépendance américaine ou durant la Guerre de 1812-1814, les Indiens vont sans cesse appuyer la couronne. Cela n'est pas dénué de sens, puisque lorsque vient le temps d'effectuer des demandes auprès des autorités coloniales, ils ne se gênent pas pour rappeler la fidélité qu'ils ont maintenue à l'égard des Britanniques. Une fidélité auparavant dédiée aux Français, puis conquise par les armes et les traités, à la faveur de Sa Majesté britannique.
