The result of using a Common Point of Reference framework decision base, to implement implicit information patterns, aimed to support business decisions during the initial phases of change and improvement projects, was examined in this study. Participants (n=30) were asked to solve four different assignments with a decision base as support consisting of fictive change project data from a fictive m

Abort är lagligt i Vietnam sedan 1945. Vietnam har under flera årtioden haft bland de högsta aborttalen i världen. Avsaknaden av trovärdiga siffror på abort och samlad information på abort talar för ett behov av en övergripande beskrivning av nuvarande lagstiftning och situation. Inget övergripande arbete har tidigare gjorts kring abortlagstiftningen. Denna uppsats, till viss del utförd i Vietnam,Abortion was legalized in Vietnam in 1945. Vietnam has for decades had among the highest abortion rates in the world. Due to the lack of reliable numbers on abortion and a lack of collected information on abortion a comprehensive picture of the current legislation and situation is well needed. No overview of the abortion legislation in Vietnam has been provided earlier. This thesis, partly conduct

The employment law in Sweden is very extensive compared to other countries. My aim with this essay is to compare the employment law for an employee with the employment protection for a CEO. The CEO is not protected by the employment Protection Act and therefore his terms of employment are completely up to the agreement he signs when he begins his employment. To do this I need to recite the main p

Participants in both conditions read a scenario where an eyewi

Uppmärksamheten rörande flyktingfrågan tenderar att beröra människor på olika sätt. Det kan få dess effekter på gott och ont. Jag har valt att koncentrera mig på en mer påtvingad invandring som jag väljer att kalla det. Den påtvingade aspekten på det menar jag är människors flykt från dess hemländer, vilket får de att bli flyktingar av olika slag. Jag diskuterar där de olika grunder som kan bli akThe attention regarding the refugee issue tends to affect people in different directions. It has its effect in both a good and bad way. I have chosen to concentrate on what i call a forced migration. The forced aspect in this subject is those people fleeing from their respective homelands, which ends up resulting in that these people become refugees of different kind. I will discuss the bases whic

The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a joint collaboration of 17 European countries, where the world’s most powerful neutron source will be built for future research within a vast variety of fields. In order to deliver the highly energetic neutrons, protons are accelerated to energies in the GeV range and then collided with a spallation target. This acceleration process requires superconducting

The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan

Långvarig exponering av stress kan leda till fysiska och psykiska besvär såsom posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Ambulanspersonal utsätts för många stressorer i sin yrkesutövning. Studiens syfte är att belysa faktorer som skapar stress samt hur ambulanspersonal påverkas av densamma. Studien är en systematisk litteraturstudie där tretton vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades och sammanställdes. Re

Säbybäckens vattenkvalitet Säbybäcken är en liten bäck i den skånska kommunen Landskrona. Målet med anläggandet av Säbybäcken var från början enbart att dränera det omgivande landskapet, men bäcken har därefter även kommit att ha andra viktiga funktioner. Bäckens utgör exempelvis lekplats för havsöring och har också kommit att avvändas som rekreationsområde av omgivande samhälle. Säbybäcken bör iWater quality in the Säbybrook The Säbybrook is a small stream in Landskrona municipality, situated in a landscape dominated by agricultural practices. The stream serves as a spawning ground for sea trout and nature conservation aspects has hence grown in importance over the years. Improvements of the environment in the Säbybrook has thus become a matter of interest for Landskrona municipality, w

Vad är konturerna för det sociala arbetets fält? Så lyder problemformuleringen i denna studie. Syftet med arbetet är att utarbeta en alternativ modell för förståelse av socialt arbete utifrån Bourdieus fältbegrepp. Arbetet utgår från ett antal allmänna fältaspekter. Dessa allmänna drag operationaliseras genom att översättas till ett antal teman som kan knyta an till ett empiriskt material. Intervj

The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion of the eastern sand spit of the inlet and accretion of sediment on the coastline south east of the groin. The object

This Master Thesis was done in collaboration with Nederman AB in Helsingborg and the aim was to analyse and develop a suggestion for a new modernized Powerbox which is one of Nedermans products in the auto workshop segment. The Powerbox is a product for sourcing of compressed air, vacuum suction and electric power. Nederman is a strong brand and considered a market leader in many of its areas. The

Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,

When treating patients suffering from renal failure with hemodialysis, an obvious point of interest is the actual blood cleaning efficiency of the dialyzer (artificial kidney). This efficiency is called clearance or dialysance. The method currently used for estimating clearance is based on doing a step-change on the process. Due to the nature of the process, this method is slow and has a relativel
