Swedish cities are getting denser. People spend a lot of time indoors, it therefore becomes important to guarantee daylight availability and solar access in buildings, in order to save energy and ensure human well-being. However, this becomes important in the case of outdoor spaces as well. Outdoor spaces can become places that invite people to stay. Thus, spending less time indoors, having as a p
Tystnadskultur bland tjänstemän inom kommunala verksamheter har varit ett debatterat ämne i Sverige de senaste åren. Svenska tjänstemän har en unik position i den kommunala verksamheten där de både ska vara opolitiska och samtidigt bidra med objektiv fakta till beslutsunderlaget. Befintlig forskning argumenterar för hur strategisk intern kommunikation kan användas för att skapa ett öppet kommunikaThe experience of a culture of silence among officials in municipal workplaces in Sweden has been a debated topic for the last few years. Swedish officials have a unique position in municipalities where they both must be unpolitical and at the same time contribute objective facts to the decision-making process. Existing research argues that strategic internal communication can be used to create an
Den högsta ledningens kommunikation är av stor vikt i organisationer, då den utgör grunden för övergripande styrning och strategi, samt skapar förutsättningarna för en enad verksamhet. Trots vikten av ledningskommunikationen i organisationer saknas förståelse för fenomenet ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Denna studie utgår från ett medarbetarperspektiv, med avgränsning till generation Y, samt ett komThe top management's communication is of great importance in organizations, as it forms the basis for overall governance and strategy, and creates the conditions for a unified business. This study is based on an employee perspective, with a limitation to generation Y, as well as a communicative perspective on leadership. With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the conditions for organization
Denna studie syftar till att bidra till förståelsen hur organisationer inom den offentliga sektorn använder kommunikation för att reparera och återuppbygga förtroende, och för att förstå vilka typer av strategier de nyttjar för det ändamålet. För att uppnå detta har en kvalitativ analys av Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap kommunikation under covid-19-krisen och myndighetens interna krisThe aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of how organizations in the public sector use communication to repair and rebuild reputation, and to understand what kinds of strategies that they use for that purpose. To achieve this an analysis of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s communication during the covid-19 crisis and the agency's internal crisis at the end of 2020 an
Contributor to climate change, cities are the major responsible for a great amount of natural resource consumption and global waste production as a consequence of the ”take, make, dispose" aspects of our linear economic model. In face of this issue, Circular Economy (CE) is a new concept that seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by shifting the linear eco
Digitaliseringen och framväxten av internet har inneburit stora förändringar i hur organisationer kommunicerar externt, och forskning indikerade att nya digitala marknadsföringsstrategier som Inbound Marketing hade en ökad effektivitet hos privata företag till följd av det nya digitala landskapet. Trots detta fanns inga tidigare studier kring strategins potentiella värde för offentliga organisatio
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly transformed the world of academia, forcing many academics to begin working remotely, disrupting their work-life balance. Late-career academics are under-represented in the literature when it comes to their understanding of work-life balance and remote work. For this reason, we decided to combine the concepts of work-life balance and remote work, and explore the pe
Personlig varumärkning är ett koncept som innebär att varumärken och dess image till stor del identifieras med en person. Personliga varumärken kommer med stora fördelar, exempelvis att en djupare relation etableras mellan organisation och konsument, vilket kan vara svårt att uppnå för en mer opersonlig organisation. Däremot kommer det även med större risker, som att organisationen och personen ba
Alberta’s Tar Sands are one of the most environmentally and socially destructive fossil fuel projects on Earth. Socio-political resistance or acceptance will determine the Tar Sands’ future: whether production continues or whether it is phased out to ensure meaningful climate action in Canada. I examined how news media communicates a “Just Transition” from the Tar Sands and proposed that their wri
The global energy system is still dependent on fossil fuels, but it has become necessary to change this system immediately. In this research, I conduct a case study of the Central Java province in Indonesia to consider how an energy transition can be implemented at the subnational level. I investigate factors influencing the adoption of renewable energy in the province. I use the multi-level persp
Backshoring has been the focus of a growing body of research in recent years, with several different determinants having been postulated through theoretical perspectives in the previous research. This study aims to determine how applicable these perspectives and their reasoning are to cases of backshoring of six Swedish companies. In this context backshoring is defined as the relocation of product
Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka upplevelser, tankar och känslor frivilligt ensamstående mammor har gällande sitt föräldrablivande, i synnerhet i relation till sin kontakt med mödrahälsovården. Ensamstående mammor som genomgått assisterad befruktning i Sverige (N=10) deltog i studien. Datainsamlingen genomfördes via semistrukturerade intervjuer med hjälp av en intervjuguide. Materialet aThe aim of this study was to examine the experiences, thoughts and feelings of solo mothers by choice, regarding their transition to parenthood, with special regard to their contact with the maternal health-services. Solo mothers by choice who had gone through assisted fertilization in Sweden (N=10) participated through a semi structured interview carried out with the help of an interview guide. T
The shift from internal combustion to electric engines is currently transforming the automotive industry. Yet, the business model path forward for electric vehicles (EVs) is still uncertain, as the perspectives of different industry actors, especially incumbents and new entrants deviate. The understanding of varying views regarding business model design thus needs to be intensified. Therefore, the
The study aimed to investigate social workers in the department of children in foster care experiences of their discretion in relation to parents requesting that their children move back home from foster care, a request called “hemtagningsbegäran” in Swedish. The study also aimed to research the social workers views of “Lex Lilla hjärtat”. The study was based on seven semi-structured qualitative i
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is expected to become even more prevalent worldwide with an increasingly older and more obese population. The degenerative joint disease, causing pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints, has a complex etiology and knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms is still limited. Recent studies have however reported that the meniscus plays a
As our lives ever increasingly move online, the influence of social media is constantly growing. It has however proven difficult for legislators to keep up with rapid development of online spaces. Therefore, legislative control has largely been left to the social media platforms. To see if this is a good solution, this paper aims to analyze Twitters terms of use, rules, guidelines, and policies, i
Being in their early 20s, Generation Z has left its childhood behind and has entered the job market. However, employers have yet to prepare for their arrival. As strategic communication practitioners lack knowledge about attracting this cohort as future employees to their brand, and theorists in employer branding have overlooked Generation Z largely, this thesis aims to explain factors that enhanc
Various renovations were applied to the existing post-war building stock of the so called “Swedish Million Program”, that were built during the 1965 and 1974 period. Only 20% of those buildings were renovated and still the rest of them remains in need of vast renovations, to mitigate the climatic impact of the existing building stock. Nowadays, the annual rate of large-scale renovation in EU count
