Det brukar heta att vi alla är nya någon gång. Ändå bortser majoriteten av ledarskapsforskningen från något som vi menar är av oerhörd betydelse för att ledarskapet ska fungera väl eller inte, erfarenhet. I dagens forskning finns brister kring korrelationen mellan ledarskap och graden av erfarenhet. Vår studie ämnar skapa förståelse för fördelar och nackdelar med oerfaret ledarskap samt visa på hu

Currently humanity faces environmental challenges that require political action in order to maintain the integrity of human and environmental systems. However, political authorities are not always ready to make rigorous decisions to support the necessary changes.

The through-silicon via (TSV) is a type of vertical electrical connection that can pass through a silicon wafer or die. By using TSVs, compared to using wire bonding as interconnections in a capacitive fingerprint sensor, the capacitive strength between the sensor die and the finger can be increased. However, since TSV structures are both more complex as structures and have a more complex manufact

In the shadow of commercial fishing fleets, recreational fishers are a lesser known but still substantial group exerting pressure on the world’s aquatic ecosystems and its fish stocks.

Försäljning av andrahandsprodukter för att underlätta en mer miljövänlig konsumtion Att köpa begagnade produkter är ett bra alternativ för den som vill handla prisvärt och miljövänligt. Men hur arbetar olika aktörer inom andrahandsmarknaden med att nå ut till kunder och hur kan deras erfarenheter hjälpa till att utveckla en butik som strävar efter att kunderna ska handla mer miljövänliga varor? Today’s linear economy with a production and consumption pattern based on a take-make-waste principle puts a large pressure on the planet’s environmental boundaries. To achieve a sustainable development a more resource-efficient and waste-reduced system must be developed. In a so called circular economy, where the aim is to decouple development from the use of scarce and linear inputs, new busines
