Public sector IT projects are often reported as being total disasters; going over budget and beyond their time frame for a poor quality final product. However, IT failures are not unique for the public sector. As a response to poor IT development, many organisations are now transforming to agile. Grounded in the Agile Manifesto, the agile approach is a collective, iterative and user-centric approa
Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o
Different interests ascribe different meaning to the role of culture in urban regeneration and discourses are created. Previous research showed that successful examples of urban regeneration happened as culture-led bottom-up processes, where inhabitants had a supporting cooperation with the city administration. No strong evidence has been presented in previous research that culture has trickle-dow
Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires. This study aims at investigating pre-school children's level of knowledge about fire and evacuation and if the level of knowledge increases after an education. The aim has also been to present guidelines of how educational materials for children of that age should be designed. The work has been conducted by interviews with p
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker implementeringsproblemet som kan uppstå i avståndet mellan Sveriges riksdag och den verkställande byråkratin. Frågeställningen besvaras främst med hjälp av de värden som presenteras i Dahls demokratiteori (2002) och Lundquists teorier om byråkratisk etik (1988 & 1998) tillsammans med de värden som återfinns i Regeringskansliets värdegrund för statliga tjänstemä
Denna uppsats redogör för hur arbetsgivarens skyldigheter skiljer sig åt vid uppsägning respektive avsked och analyserar på vilka bevekelsegrunder en arbetsgivare kan välja att avskeda istället för att säga upp. Vid både uppsägning och avsked föreligger samma formella skyldigheter samt en skyldighet att förhandla innan åtgärden vidtas. Arbetsgivaren har dock olika lång tid på sig att lämna underräThis essay will discuss how the responsibilities of the employer differ between termination and dismissal and will furthermore analyse the motives an employer can have in order to justify the use of dismissal instead of termination. Before terminating or dismissing an employee, the employer must in both cases observe the formal responsibilities as well as the obligation to negotiate. The differenc
Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals
Children who grow up with a parent with an addiction and/or mental illness are at higher risk of developing the same disorder. There are children who even when growing up under rough conditions succeed to overcome their childhood and grow up to be “normal” citizens. These children have a high level of resilience and are usually referred to as Superkids. The aim of this study was to understand what
Urban environments are rapidly growing worldwide with severe consequences to animals and plants residing in our cities. Some of the most well-studied urban wildlife is passerine birds, where a wide array of effects have been documented; smaller clutches, earlier breeding, shorter telomeres and oxidative stress are just some costs among numerous others. Yet, few studies have so far investigated the
Girls continue to be less interested in studying engineering than boys. Previous research has found that this gender difference is in part due to girls’ lower self-efficacy, lower sense of belonging in engineering and higher communal goals, which they perceive are difficult to fulfil in engineering. This study tested if a role model intervention can improve these factors in female high school stud
Fewer hospital beds and an increasing amount of patients with comorbidities calls for more advanced care being performed in the municipal home care. This increases the incidence of acute illnesses needing to be assessed by the nurse in municipal home care. An early and structured assessment is crucial for making correct and efficient decisions about the level of care that the patient needs. This s
Denna uppsats handlar om det aktiebolagsrättsliga begreppet värdeöverföring. Uppsatsen har sitt fokus på förtäckt värdeöverföring i ett koncernsammahang. Förtäckt värdeöverföring definieras i 17 kap. 1§ 1st. p.4 enligt följande; annan affärshändelse som medför att bolagets förmögenhet minskar och inte har rent affärsmässig karaktär för bolaget. Uppsatsen ämnar skapa en djupare förståelse och kuns
Orden trygghet och studiero återfinns i Skollagen (SFS: 2010:800). Som en elev som inte kände trygghet under min egen skolgång och nu med en ämneslärarutbildning i musik i ryggen har mitt fokus hamnat på lärarens uppgift och möjligheter att skapa trygghet och studiero för elever, och mer specifikt för de elever som jag kommer undervisa i musik. Med den ingången är studiens syfte att undersöka vad
Traditionally, work on road safety analysis is based on accident statistics, but usually not in a structured and systematic way. Accident statistics provide an indicator of which sites are prone to personal injuries but do not represent an adequate indicator for assessing the road safety situation of the sites. This master thesis has been developed in order to create an understanding that preventi
This study is about understanding how contemporary, popular experts in parenting and children's behavior advices insecure parents how to deal with scared anxious children. The studies empiricism is retrieved from books, parenting sites and newspapers. The analysis and results is based on a method where the empiricism is studied from a problems perspective, analyzed in categories that answers q
Based on data from the past, predictive analytics can give a competitive advantage for companies when it is used to forecast the future. Specifically, predictive analytics can be used to aid decision makers in strategic planning. As the construction industry faces challenges with both more costly and complicated projects, predictive analytics can support decision makers in the industry in the most
