Rooted in the environmental movement, the climate movement in Sweden is on the rise and increasingly gaining support in its fight against climate change and its unequal impacts. If successful, the movement can play an important role in changing society. There is increased awareness and proof of the gendered effects of climate change, but awareness of the role of gender in the climate movement seem

This study examines the effect of governmental market intervention on MNCs´ internationalization process and operations in a foreign market. A divergence is proposed between past literature´s dominant view of government intervention as a constraining factor for MNCs, with the observation of many MNCs operating in Singapore, whose government takes a clear interventionist stance in the market. There

Archivists tackle a variety of problems in their daily work, among them are issues concerning privacy-based material. This work demands a good understanding of the laws which govern this practice, laws comprising the Freedom of the Press Act (tryckfrihetsförordningen SFS 1949:105), the Public Access and Security Act (offentlighets- och sekretsslagen SFS 2009:400), and the Archival Law (arkivlagen

Innovation enablement is of growing importance in order to stay competitive in the financial services sector. Although frontline employees are considered to be valuable innovators, the research about their involvement in the innovation process is still in its infancy. The existing literature acknowledges that the overall participation of these employees in the innovations is limited, without furth

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en högre grad harmonisering mellan GAAP och IFRS har lett till en mindre skillnad i REM och AEM samt hur företag inom båda regelverken har hanterat EM under tidsperioden. Studien är kvantitativ med en deduktiv ansats och undersöker åren 2002–2019. För att beräkna användandet av AEM används den modifierade Jones modellen. För att beräkna användandet av REM

Partikelfysikexperimenten vid "The Large Hadron Collider" i Genéve utforskar de mest grundläggande frågorna i fysiken, genom att mäta resterna av elementärpartiklar som kollideras vid väldigt hög hastighet. En accepterad modell av fundamentala partiklar och deras kopplingar beskrivs idag av standarmodellen, en modell som utan tvekan har stora brister. ATLAS-experimentet vid "The LarLimited data storage capability is a large obstacle for saving data in high energy particle physics. One method of partially circumventing these limitations, is trigger level analysis (TLA) as used by the ATLAS experiment. The efficiency of TLA can be further increased by doing effective data compression. One class of artificial neural networks are called autoencoders, which may be used for data

This study was motivated by the current vulnerable status of Chinese taught as a second language in Swedish gymnasium education, calling for further knowledge on how theories on second language (L2) acquisition can benefit instruction on L2 Chinese. Since language textbooks often constitute the curriculum in Swedish classrooms, two Chinese textbooks were targeted for analysis in terms of the seque

The climate crisis urges countries around the globe to end their national energy systems’ dependencies on fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The development of renewable energy sources and its increasing physical interventions into the living space of citizens lead to growing public protests that pose a threat to planned energy infrastructure projects. In response to public protests,

The aim of this study was to create an understanding of how decision makers within social services’ children and youth work resonate regarding the incorporation of the Children’s Rights Convention (CRC). The study is based on six qualitative interviews with professional social workers in different parts of Sweden. Theories within sociology of law were applied in the analysis of the results to illu

Research into burnout has often focused on the helping professions, such as medical care (Schaufeli, Leiter & Maslach, 2009). However, the cost of burnout to private organisations is high, since it correlates with lower productivity and increased turnover/turnover intention amongst others (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). Project managers are at a particularly high risk of burnout due

Barnarbete har funnits sedan urminnes tider över hela världen. Lagstiftning och andra regler har successivt växt fram i syfte att skydda barn från de hot och faror arbetslivet kan medföra. Jag vill undersöka hur regleringen och utvecklingen kring barnarbete har skett under drygt två sekel samt hur rättsläget ser ut i Sverige idag. Denna uppsats kommer besvara två frågeställningar. FrågeställningarSince ancient times child labor has been found throughout the whole world. Legislation and rules regarding child labor have emerged gradually and in this essay I want to investigate how the regulation of child labor in Sweden are today. And how the development has been during two centuries. My two question of issues are under what conditions can children under the age of 18 gain employment in Swed

Syftet med studien är att utifrån portföljmetoden och tidigare forskning undersöka begreppen kreativitet och personligt uttryck i en kompositorisk process. I resultatet framgår det att jag utifrån mina egna erfarenheter av att komponera musik för ett specifikt ändamål, ett yogapass, upplever att den kreativa skapandeprocessen främjas av musikaliska begränsningarna medan mitt personliga musikaliska

This research aims to contribute to the field of crisis communication conducted within the specific context of a non-governmental organization (NGO). Focus is put on investigating the perceived strategies for crisis communication that the Swedish Red Cross made use of during its crisis in 2009 and 2010 as well as a ten-year media representation of the issue. The empirical material consists of inte

Följande rapport behandlar Kårhuset vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Byggnaden består av fem plan och är byggd i mitten av 90-talet. Kårhuset innehar verksamheter av varierande karaktär, exempelvis föreläsningssalar, restaurang, kontor och bastu, vilket resulterar i att byggnaden har en hög besöksromsättning. Målet med rapporten är att framställa en brandteknisk riskanalys avseende personsäkerheten,The following report is an evaluation of the fire safety of Kårhuset, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The aim of the evaluation is to review the personal safety, which means investigating whether the available time for evacuation out of the building is enough, in case of fire. Further on, the evaluation relies on a qualitative risk analysis, where three worst credible cases were discove

This thesis sheds light on a particular group of men in Swedish society: fathers working in business. According to R.W. Connell’s theory, these men hold significant power as businesses become increasingly globalised. Moreover, Connell states, they are bearers of a new form of hegemonic masculinity: transnational business masculinity. This form of masculinity is characterised by a prioritisation of

The purpose of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of how employees make sense of Just Culture and how Just Culture is practiced in the organization. Applying Just Culture in organizations that operate in risk industries has benefits. It creates an atmosphere in which employees are willing to report their mistake. Therefore, the question is "Why did the mistake happen?"instea

Social enterprises are hybrid organizations with two institutional logics, one focusing on social goals and the other one focusing on economic profitability. Both logics set the attributes for an organization. These attributes are, for instance, goals, values, or beliefs. The presence of two different logics can generate tension in these attributes. One type of tension is belonging tension. This t

This study examines crisis management work and crisis preparedness ability among Swedish universities - contributing to fill out the existing research gap within this area. It takes 20 crisis management plans into account, focusing on four more in particular along with the undertaking of semi-structured interviews with four university Vice-Chancellors. Furthermore, a conventional content analy

In the European Union’s (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), free allocation of emissions allowances to avoid carbon leakage has resulted in a distorted pricing signal and a failure to reduce emissions in the most polluting industries. A Border Carbon Adjustment (BCA), a mechanism which would apply a tariff to imported goods based on their embedded carbon content, has been suggested as a solution.
