Med hjälp av en kvalitativ dokumentstudie skapades detta arbete med syfte att undersöka de skildringar som gjorts om baby boomers, generation x och millennials, i relation till det påstådda ledarskap som krävs för att hantera respektive generation. Efter insamling av tidningsartiklar genomfördes en dokumentstudie, vilken analyserades utifrån en diskursanalys. Resultatet från empirin presenteras i

We have studied the main features and the phenomenological consistency of a family-nonuniversal Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with a softly broken U(1)xZ2 family symmetry that enforces the flavour hierarchies in the Standard Model (SM) while implementing a tree-level Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) suppression in a Branco-Grimus-Lavoura way. Furthermore, the alignment limit is imposed i

Across the globe, persons with disabilities do not enjoy equitable access to social, economic, and human capital compared to their non-disabled counterparts, and are politically, economically and culturally disenfranchised. Ghana ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2012 and is thereby obliged to amend their national disability laws, making them compatible w

Forskning kring att utvinna information om musik direkt från en ljudinspelning har pågått sedan slutet av 1900-talet. Många nya upptäckter har gjorts de allra senaste åren, dels på grund av att forskningsområdet har varit relativt outforskat men också då den tekniska utvecklingen har gått framåt väldigt kraftigt. Denna avhandling utforskar en gren inom forskningsområdet, kallad multipel fundamentaThe research field of automatic music transcription has vastly grown during the 21st century, where the goal is to transcribe a polyphonic music signal into annotated sheet music. Within this field, the subproblem of fundamental frequency estimation in a piece of music is a difficult problem, e.g., due to dissimilar structures in signals from different instruments playing the same note. This becom

This study aims to provide a better understanding of how successful late entrants narratively construct their brand biographies in order to position themselves favorably in the market with already dominant players. A multiple case study with two different late entrants, Everlane and Too Faced, has been analyzed by using narratological theories based upon Algirdas Greimas’s hierarchical order of su

The aim is to develop a profound comprehension of what role knowledge plays in the process of integrating the internal knowledge within organizations with the external knowledge that can be found in the surrounding cluster initiatives. This research contains a qualitative case study which was developed by following an interpretative, abductive approach that granted the authors to work with theory

The Sveconorwegian orogeny (c. 1 Ga) lead to the recrystallization of large parts of southwestern Sweden, with widespread metamorphism as well as local migmatization. The Idefjorden Terrane, which has been studied less extensively than the nearby Eastern Segment, is divided by the Göta Älv Shear Zone and the Dalsland Boundary Thrust into two main units; the Western and Median Segments. A garnet am

Purpose and aim – The increased polarization in society results in the fact that companies are increasingly being called upon by consumers to take a stance on controversial socio-political issues. This contemporary phenomenon is defined as CEO/brand activism, and it is particularly prevalent in the United States. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of CEO/brand activism on bui

The number of low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors available on the market has increased in recent years. They are affordable, compact and require no maintenance which means they easily can be deployed and utilized for real-time air monitoring. However, the accuracy of low-cost PM sensors has been reported to vary depending on several factors. This thesis aims to investigate and reduce errors

Fulufjället, Dalarna. Projektet handlar om att designa ett museum där platsens olika kontexter i natur, vind, snö och ljus ligger i huvudfokus för utförandet, med utgångspunkten att vara obemannat och ta hand om besökaren på bästa möjliga sätt.

Purpose: In the setting of a large Swedish media organisation, the purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how internal factors (strategy, organisational structure and culture) affect the organisation's ability to handle ambidexterity and how the factors interrelate. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was conducted, from multiple levels within a large Swedish media o

In this study we have examined how fathers experience and construct fatherhood in relation to equality, masculinity and fatherhood ideals. With the backdrop of Sweden’s comparatively progressive equality and parenthood politics we have conducted seven semi-structured qualitative interviews with Swedish fathers aged 25-35. We have analysed the material using categorical content analysis with theore

Informal green spaces are “small green areas” which are some square meter plots along streets or in junctions, in front of public or private buildings. Informal urban green space become or remain in neglected condition due to the lack of capacity of the municipality to maintain them. Further, there is a lack of responsibility, competency and motivation of the residents to voluntarily take care of

This work investigates, from an architect’s perspective, images of the forest as a space and as a resource. In a personal exploration, the author’s own relationship to forests, as well as cultural and scholarly conceptions of what the forest is and means are examined and questioned, connected and contrasted. Seemingly uncomplicated popular images that are shaping our view of the forest as well as

This paper explores the use of an automated pipeline to construct synthetic (artificially derived) trip data from aggregate socio-demographic sources to build a simulation of individual vehicles interacting with one another. The study shows that quality data sources are required in order to do this effectively and accurately. It is shown that aspects of typical patterns and behaviours may still n
