Negativa servicemöten har visat sig påverka anställda till att känna mindre motivation, inte minst negativa servicemöten som inbegriper könsstereotypa antaganden gentemot kvinnor. Ett verktyg för att prestera utefter förmåga är självledarskap. Vi vill undersöka om unga kvinnor självleder sig själva i negativa servicemöten där könsstereotyper förekommer. Syftet ska besvaras med hjälp av följande fr
Due to labor shortages and an aging workforce, businesses are having difficulty hiring and maintaining talented staff. Employer branding is an important factor in attracting and keeping top employees. However, current research on job seekers' expectations and fulfillment is lacking. This study explores job seekers' expectations and how they align with job and organizational culture in real
Brandteknisk dimensionering av träfasader i Br1-byggnader – i teorin och i praktiken Användandet av trä som byggnadsmaterial har ökat eftersom trä är ett mer hållbart material för miljön. För att kunna använda en träfasad för en byggnad i fler än två plan, eller som på annat sätt har ett högre skyddsbehov behöver fasaden klara SP FIRE 105 som är en testmetod för träfasader. Träfasaden byggs däreThis report explores the use of wooden façades in Br1-buildings by identifying and assessing test methods for façades available in Sweden and other European countries. The aim is also to investigate to what extent SP FIRE 105 is being used and how variations made to tested façades are being assessed. The methods used have been a literature study and interview study. The results show that there are
Anthropogenic impact on terrestrial ecosystems continues to grow as we further enhance atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentrations. The changing climatic conditions and direct influence of CO₂ on vegetation has a big impact on ecosystem functions. Such impacts include CO₂ fertilisation, found to be an important driver of the global greening trend. By increasing leaf photosynthesis and enhan
Chaperoner – kroppens egna försvarssystem mot neurodegenerativa sjukdomar Parkinsons sjukdom och Alzheimers sjukdom är exempel på neurodegenerativa sjukdomar vars orsak attribueras till aggregeringen av amyloida proteiner. Chaperoner som DNAJB6 har visat sig vara effektiva i att förhindra denna aggregering, och i detta arbete har deras termodynamiska beskrivning undersökts. Proteiner är kroppens bAmyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases. Aggregation of amyloid proteins is caused
High latitude peatlands play a significant role in global soil carbon budgets, attributed to the slow decomposition rate of Sphagnum mosses that facilitates carbon sequestration through the build-up of peat. As climate change is predicted to increase soil temperatures and decomposition rates of organic matter, studying environmental and intraspecific mechanisms that controls decay resistance of Sp
The purpose of the essay is to examine notions of what characterizes a good priest in the Church of Sweden's ordination vows and the guiding materials available for the interpretation of these. I analyzed the ordination vows which the priest takes at his or hers ordination and used a virtue ethics and a professional ethics perspective to interpret four documents to find out what they say about
Residential energy consumption in Europe is unsustainable, relying heavily on fossil fuels and contributing to climate change. The European energy crisis, as a naturally occurring experiment, disrupted energy consumption in households due to drastically increased prices and raised public awareness while creating a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of change in household energy consumption.
Under 1980-talet formulerades den officiella målsättningen ’ett narkotikafritt samhälle’. Samtidigt riktades det straffrättsliga fokuset mot konsumenterna och under 1993 infördes fängelse i straffskalan för eget bruk av narkotika. Idag lider Sverige av en hög narkotikarelaterad dödlighet såväl som omfattande problem med den organiserade brottsligheten. Under mars 2022 tillsatte regeringen en utred
Detta examensarbetes huvudsyfte var att jämföra säkerhetsfaktorerna för den svenska och den danska beräkningsmetodiken i markförhållanden sand och lera ovanpå moränlera. Den verkliga bärförmågan i markförhållandena togs fram genom CAPWAP-mätningar. Säkerhetsfaktorn med den svenska beräkningsmetodiken blev 2.7 och säkerhetsfaktorn med den danska beräkningsmetodiken blev 1.3. Detta visar att den sve
Current levels and patterns of consumption in affluent societies are highly unsustainable. Research shows that efficiency measures prove insufficient to keep within the planetary boundaries, as they operate within the same consumption paradigm. In response, the sufficiency approach has been put forward, which strives to reduce consumption levels in absolute terms. A growing awareness of the impact
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how journalists at Lilla Aktuellt and Juniornyheterna are influenced by their news audience, primarily children and youths, on Tiktok. Both editorials work on behalf of Swedish public service, which means they have to report objectively and impartially. Previous research has shown that public service organizations must reassess what it means to be of public

Moreover, the RA content was compared in various lemon balm samples including: commercial dried lemon balm, commercial lemon bal
Hospitals have been a crucial element of healthcare for centuries, providing a space for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The design of hospitals has evolved dramatically throughout history, with significant changes in both the form and function of these institutions. Ancient hospitals were closely connected to nature, with an emphasis on the role of surroundings in the healing process. However
Allmänt känt är att världens regnskogar bidrar till flertalet ekosystemtjänster som hjälper till att upprätthålla förutsättningarna för liv på jorden och som vi människor kan dra nytta av. Den höga och välutvecklade biologiska mångfald som dessa skogar inrymmer är att tacka för detta. Rwanda, ett litet land beläget i den östra delen av Afrikas tropiska zon, har under det senaste seklet varit objekRainforests are of great importance for biodiversity and several ecosystem services. In Rwanda, a considerable decline in rainforest covers have been observed during the last decades. The Gishwati-Mukura Forest is one of the rainforests in Rwanda that has experienced a substantial reduction in forest cover, 99.4 %. The aim of this research has been to investigate what the changes in forest cover o
Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens Urban freight transportation is crucial for the functioning of a city and city life. However, the way urban freight transportation is occurring is unsustainable since there are few regulations and dangerous situations easily arise. The purpose of the thesis was to examine transportation in car-free areas and identify the associated problems, guidelines and explore potential solutions to the identi
