Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka fördelar nätverk som en organiseringsform ger upphov till samt hur denna organiseringsform påverkar företags transaktionskostnader. Detta då det för tillfället råder en kunskapsteoretisk lucka angående hur företag som inte har tydligt definierade vertikala gränser ska definieras inom ramverket för transaktionskostnadsteorin. Metod: Studien är av kv
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur ett varumärke kan gå från att uppfattas som rent till att bli smutsigt. Med utgångspunkt i teorier kring rent och smutsigt, brand communities och subkulturer vill vi bidra till en ökad förståelse för vad som kan påverka ett varumärke negativt. Metod: Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där den empiriska datainsamlingen har gjorts främ
Stadsodling har beskrivits som ett positivt inslag i det urbana rummet. Sedan 2006 har fler och fler hyresgäster i olika bostadsområden i Malmö möjlighet att odla i pallkragar i anknytning till sitt hus. Att använda odling för att skapa en viss typ av område och hyresgäst har dock inte tidigare belysts ur ett maktperspektiv. Syftet med denna studie är att med begreppet governmentality diskutera h
Bakgrund: Innebandy är den största inomhusidrotten i Sverige och har drygt 90 000 aktiva barn och ungdomar upp till och med 15 års ålder. För dessa ungdomar är det vanligt att föräldrar är tränare, framförallt pappor. Skadeproblematiken i innebandy är inte fullt kartlagt framförallt inte gällande barn och ungdomar däremot har de akuta skadorna hos samtliga innebandyspelare i Sverige ökat mellan 20
The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i
The meaning of sentences is a notoriously tricky beast to nail down. In spite of the ease at which we manage to understand new and unfamiliar expressions every day most of us would be at a loss if asked what that understanding consists in. In contemporary philosophy linguistic meaning is often conceived of as a relation of referring or representing things in either some possible world or the actua
Studies have shown that four years is a milestone when it comes to the development of explicit Theory of Mind (ToM). But recent studies have suggested that it is possible for younger children to show this ability explicitly, given that the test conditions are modified. The aim of this current study was to examine whether a more ecologically valid test setting could increase performance in a false
The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a
Occupational health and safety management systems are widely used as a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety in organizations. One important element of which is the development of Standard Operating Procedures to ensure uniform written safety procedures throughout the organization. Such procedures are sometimes restrictive and inadequate to deal with the dynamic and changi
Multiculturalism has had significant successes with promoting mutual cultural acceptance, inclusion and equality of national and cultural minorities in several western states. It is often praised by politicians and governments due to its emphasis on inclusion of minority-groups regardless of any cultural distinctiveness. Yet, such distinctiveness might be more significant for minorities and their
As more renewable and intermittent power sources are incorporated into the grid, the need for energy storage solutions increases. Implementation of hybrid energy storage solutions (HESS) could enhance system flexibility and contribute to the development of renewable energy systems. The purpose of this master thesis project is to investigate the technical and economic viability of different configu
Football, or soccer as the Americans call it, is the world’s most popular sport. Why is that? I believe it has something to do with the simplicity of the game. Compared to a lot of other sports, the only piece of equipment you need to play is a ball. With only a ball, a game of football could be played almost anywhere - in the park, at the beach, against a wall or on the street. One of the reason
Hur gör man torktumlare mer energieffektiva? Denna studie undersöker en torktumlare med datorsimuleringar och en teoretisk modell för att se möjligheter till att reducera motstånd i luftflödet.Drying clothes is an essential but energy demanding process in modern society. A common way to dry clothes is tumble drying. Electrolux is one of the world leading manufacturers of household appliances and currently is working on a heat pump tumble dryer product. This master thesis is a study of the aerodynamic properties for the internal air flow for the mentioned heat pump tumble dryer. If press
Årligen dyker rapporter upp om hur klimatförändringar förändrar vår värld. Stigande havsnivåer och kraftigare skyfall skapar redan idag problem runt om i världen, och Skånes låglänta kuster är speciellt utsatt i en svensk kontext. Hur ska kommuner i Skåne hantera det faktum att stadsdelar inom en snar framtid kan komma att drabbas av översvämningar flera gånger per år? Har de verktygen för att hanFloods are expected to increase around the world due to climate change, and Scania is especially vulnerable with its elongated coastline and lack of postglacial rebound. Spatial planning has a key role in adapting to these changes and coping with the consequences. This report aims to map out challenges when dealing with flooding in the field of spatial planning in already developed areas and to pr
This study examines attitudes towards Swedish immigration and minority groups in Sweden among social work students and law students at Lund university. Firstly, this study examines if there are similarities and differences in attitudes among the students by using univariate analysis. Secondly, this study examines if there are any correlations between attitudes and the following variables: age, gen
Stadsmiljö skiljer sig från det ursprungliga landskapet, som till stor del har lämnats orörd av människan. När mer och mer mark används till att bygga städer eller för att odla mat kan det skapa problem för pollinatörer, då de är anpassade till den naturliga miljön. Pollinatörerna kan däremot ofta överleva inuti städer i parker, rabatter och trädgårdar. Det är viktigt att bevara pollinatörer, då oRecent decline in wild pollinators have been reported and studies have found a connection to increasing urbanisation, larger homogenous landscapes and increased pesticide usage. The pollinators are important to preserve for various ecosystem services, such as plant reproduction, however the effects on pollination success has not been thoroughly studied in relation to urbanisation. In this study th
Most studies done on Drosophila are made in labs and focus on genetics, something which has formed a somewhat one-sided field of studies. To counter this bias, this report was based on fieldwork. From a classical ecological aspect, Drosophila populations in southern Scania were investigated in order to put more clinical Drosophila insights in a proper context. According to previous studies, urban
Genetically modified maize, can it be trusted? In a world with a constantly growing population there is a need to find a way to cultivate enough food for everyone and one of the things that might help with that is genetically modified crops. Genetic modification means that a trait has been given to a plant that it does not normally have. These traits can be resistance to a pest, disease or an her
The Bumbling Bumblebee, they see more than you think! Bumblebees are probably one of the most universally loved insects in the animal kingdom. They don’t irritate you or sting you unlike their relatives, instead they do their own thing while performing their daily tasks of collecting pollen and nectar for the colony. We wanted to learn more about how the bumblebee view the world and how the envir
The Internet, which is the most important component of digitalization, has proved to be a useful, but unfortunately economically difficult channel for the news agency. The rapid shift of digitalization in the 21st century has changed the game plan for traditional fashion journalism. Editors have, through various strategies at the best of their ability, adapted to the new market situation and large
