Researchers who desire to bring about change in organizational settings require approaches to inquiry which can go beyond superficial appearances and prejudice. In seeking to go beyond mere examination of socio technical systems researchers have developed a proliferation of different approaches. Many of these have drawn upon social and human sciences to ground methods and assumptions in philosophi

I det här projektet bestämde jag mig tidigt för att arbeta utanför en urban kontext. Jag kände mig mer lockad av att behandla något som innebar okänd mark för mig: att utforska arkitekturens roll i ett sammanhang som ligger utanför de stora systemen, utanför urbana strategier, förtätning, bostadsbrist och segregation. Jag ville fokusera på den enskilda människan och beröra dennes interaktion med nThe focal point of this project is the interaction between the human individual and nature. It all started with a wish to study the role of architecture outside of urban contexts and bigger systems of urban strategy, segregation and densification. In order to do so, I chose to work with a location in nature that has made a particularly strong impression on me: the southern esker of Kåseberga. This

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur organisatoriskt lärande påverkar transaktionskostnader. Tidigare forskning indikerar att transaktionskostnadsteorins beskrivning av lärande behöver kompletteras för att ge en mer fullständig förståelse för de bakomliggande mekanismerna till företags agerande. Studien syftar därmed till att ge en mer övergripande förståelse för transaktionskostnadsteorin. StuThe purpose of this study is to examine how organisational learning affects transaction costs. Previous research implies that more research needs to be done to further develop the Transaction Cost Theory in order to give a broader understanding of transaction cost economics and the underlying mechanisms of firms’ actions. Hence, this study aims to give a more broad understanding by incorporating o

Sverige är ett av mycket få länder som inte har någon tidsgräns för hur länge häktning får pågå. Dessutom åläggs regelmässigt restriktioner som innebär att den häktade i princip är helt isolerad under häktningstiden. För detta har Sverige fått ta emot långvarig skarp kritik från internationellt håll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda det svenska häktningsinstitutet, med fokus på häktningstidernSweden is one of very few countries that has no legislation limiting time on remand. In addition, restrictions are imposed regularly, which means that the remand prisoner essentially is completely isolated during the period of remand. For this, Sweden has received long-standing sharp international criticism. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the Swedish detention laws, with focus on the

I denna uppsats granskas Högsta förvaltningsdomstolens användning av icke-bindande myndighetsregler, rekommendationer, vid rättskipningen i skattemål i relation till regeringsformens normsystem. Detta görs genom att använda en rättsdogmatisk metod med ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv och en internkritisk syn på rättsordningen. Regeringsformens norm- och normgivningssystem ställer upp strikta ramar The thesis examines the use of non-binding administrative regulation, or recommendations, in the tax case law of the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court in light of the hierarchy of regulation prescribed by the Instrument of Government. This is done using a legal-dogmatic method with a development perspective and an internally critical view of the law. The hierarchy of regulation and law-making

Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are no longer fixed or constant. Instead, they are continuously readjusted according to perceived demand and factors that influence the desirability of the product. It is in passenger transport where it has one of its biggest applications, in order to increase profits and maximize the use of limited capacity. While extensively studied for its econ

The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how

Formaldehyd är en kemikalie som används till allt möjligt. I första hand används den som en råvara till andra kemiska fabriker, men kan också användas för att göra olika typer av laminater. Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som utvecklar och säljer fabriker som producerar formaldehyd. Formaldehyd skapas när metanol reagerar med syre under specifika situationer. Formox har gjort många utvecklinA pre-adiabatic reactor concept for catalytic methanol oxidation was investigated. The reason was the possibilities of a reduced catalyst reloading time and reduced deflagration risk. An adiabatic reactor pilot was constructed. Trials were performed to confirm that the pilot was running at an adiabatic state. Information about the pilot pressure drop, temperature profile and outlet composition was

Despite climate risks posing a serious threat to business and business continuity, empirical research has shown little active involvement of the private sector in climate change adaptation (CCA). National plans of governments, as well as global agreements and reports, highlight the need for collaborative climate action on a global scale, placing special emphasis on private sector involvement as cr
