The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a global recession that has had large negative effects on both men and women in the Swedish labor market. We examine how the Swedish strategy of not imposing a lockdown has affected gender-specific labor market outcomes: relative female employment rate and weekly hours worked. To begin with, we study the development of these outcomes in Sweden. Looking at relative f

När den globala marknaden ökar och e-handeln utvecklas blir lageraktiviteterna alltmer viktiga för företag. Lager i sig adderar inte något extra värde på de produkter eller varor som lagras i dem, utan generar enbart värde till kunder genom att kunna erbjuda de produkter som de efterfrågar i rätt tid, i rätt kvantitet och kvalitet. Således blir det viktigt för företag att studera processerna i ettThe warehouse activities have become more important as the global market increases and the e-commerce develops. Warehouses do not add any extra value to the items that are stored in them, but only to customers by providing them with their orders at the time they want it, in the right quality and in the right amount.

Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quad

This Bachelor thesis studies the formation of quantum droplets in a dilute dipolar Bose Einstein Condensate with the initial shape of a torus. The main question to address is how this formation occurs as the magnetic dipole moment of the particles changes orientation with respect to the xy plane. The (mostly) attractive dipolar, and the repulsive contact and Lee-Huang-Yang interactions of the ga

Studien syftar till att identifiera skillnader och kvaliteter för det helprefabricerade mellanbjälklaget massivbjälklag samt det halvprefabricerade mellanbjälklaget plattbärlag. Det övergripande målet är att skapa ett kunskapsunderlag för val av mellanbjälklag i bostadsprojekteringar. Ett plattbärlags främsta fördelar är dess flexibilitet och branschens utbredda kunskap och erfarenhet av det. Des

Cirka 35% av Sveriges befolkning lever med långvarig smärta (LS) och de ges olika bemötanden byggda på subjektiva bedömningar av vårdpersonalen samt baserat på hur patienten hanterar sin kroniska smärta. Syftet med litteraturstudien är att belysa hur kvinnor respektive män med LS bli bemötta inom vården. Den här studien genomfördes som en icke-systematisk litteraturstudie. Vid noggrann analys a

This mixed method study has investigated how a change process can be carried out in a public organization when faced with external disturbances. Also, it has been investigated what factors could explain or decide how employees of a public organization view a change process and what implications that might have for management. A recently finished major change process in Malmö Stad has been used for

Currently, it is controlled manually and without any support of structured analytical inventory control methods. Purpose – The purpose of this Master’s Thesis Project is to investigate and suggest a method suitable for inventory control of E.ON’s so

Studien syftar till att undersöka arbetsmotivation och arbetstillfredsställelse hos två olika grupper av sjuksköterskor kopplat till Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori, Self determination theory och Inre/ yttre motivationsfaktorer. En jämförelse av fast anställda sjuksköterskor samt hyrsjuksköterskor utfördes. Specifikt undersöktes skillnader och samband av hygienfaktorer och motivationsfaktorer mellan grupThe study aims to investigate work motivation and job satisfaction among two different groups of nurses linked to Herzberg's two-factor theory, Self determination theory and internal/ external motivation. A comparison between continuous employed nurses and hired nurses was performed. More specifically, differences and relationships of hygiene factors and motivational factors between the two gr

In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating. There is scope for furt

One of the alternate necessary conditions that must be met in order to be able to deny or restrict the use of electronic communication systems for youths at closed youth homes is that such use must be deemed harmful for the youth him or herself, or for another person. This necessary condition is stipulated in 16 § 1 st. Lag (1998:603) om verkställighet av sluten ungdomsvård. The aim of this bachel

The main objective of this paper is to assess the impact of the flexicurity system, which was implemented in Denmark in 1994, on unemployment. The Synthetic Control Method (SCM) is used to construct a counterfactual scenario of what the situation would have been like in Denmark in the absence of the flexicurity reform. Our results suggest that the unemployment level in Denmark has been on average
