While research has been focusing on the human side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A’s), research on trust specifically is still an emerging field. Conducting M&A’s and integrating companies introduces major changes for the acquired employees, making trust a critical factor to consider and to conduct research upon. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena of trust, we stu

The purpose of this paper is to find out how parents are affected by the child’s Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). In order to investigate, interviews have been conducted with parents with one or more child diagnosed with ADHD to find out about their general well-being as well as if they are receiving the proper support.

Organizational politicking (OP), otherwise known as workplace politics has for many decades been a deeply subverted topic in the management literature due to its widely negative credo. This study aims to investigate OP and its uncharted utilization within the communication profession drawing upon the empirical foundation of 15 qualitative in-depth interviews with communication practitioners in var

Digitalisering av försörjningsstöd har under en tid kommit att diskuteras flitigt till följd av nya och fler implementerade digitala arbetsmetoder. Ändamålet är bland annat att effektivisera ansökan om försörjningsstöd som tidigare handlades av socialarbetare. Även e-tjänster har implementerats på allt fler instanser inom försörjningsstöd och förflyttar därmed en stor del av kommunikationen mellan

After the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2018 there has been an increased concern in society on the identified climate impact of flying. This has resulted in a rise of grassroots social movements that attempt to find alternative, more environmentally friendly means of travel. This research has more closely examined two of these social movements within the tourism

Hydrocolloids are commonly used food additives that help in modification of viscosity, texture and stability of different food products, for example, dressings, meat products, juice, dairy beverages, etc. The application for hydrocolloids is wide, but one of the problems associated with hydrocolloids is that it is difficult to disperse them homogeneously which limits its utilisation to the fullest

The study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how transformational changes can affect employees’ creative process engagement. By conducting a single case study at a technology organization that has been undergoing several transformational changes over the last decade, we have tried to reach our aim. Adopting an interpretive approach, we have investigated our research problem by conducting se

Teknisk skuld är ett begrepp som innebär att framtida kostnader kommer att uppstå för de som väljer att ta genvägar i utvecklingsarbetet. Teknisk skuld liknas ofta vid finansiella lån och be-höver inte vara negativt så länge skulden hanteras och inte blir för stor. Den tekniska skulden löses av ”code refactoring” vilket innebär att koden förändras utan att funktionaliteten gör det. Små- och mikrof

After careful review of the ongoing research on bubble detection, this thesis deals with the potentiality of a bubble in the Swedish housing market in the past decade. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed procedure based on two models. Based on the augmented Dickey-Fuller test along with a forward recursive regression to identify unit-root behavior, the Phillips, Wu, and Yu&#

Research question: How does servitisation affect the adoption of sustainability-oriented innovations (SOIs)? A qualitative study on the role of servitisation on barriers and drivers for SOI adoption. Methodology: The methodological framework for this research is a qualitative multiple case study following an abductive approach. The agricultural industry was used as an empirical tool to conduct th

Föreliggande uppsats är en bibliometrisk samt översättningssociologisk undersökning av den spanskspråkiga skönlitteraturens närvaro i Sverige under perioden 1987–2017. Syftet är först och främst att undersöka hur mycket spanskspråkig skönlitteratur som har översatts till svenska, vad som översatts, vem som översatt och vem som utgivit litteraturen. Uppsatsens andra syfte är att försöka utröna vad

Den konstanta förändringen sker ständigt i dagens snabbt föränderliga och konkurrensutsatta IT-värld. För att hänga med i förändringarna kommer organisationer behöva anamma DevOps. DevOps är en sammanslagning av de två orden Development (Dev) och Operations(Ops) och gör det möjligt för organisationer att snabbt och frekvent kunna leverera mjukvara av hög kvalitet till kund. När organisationer impl

The current climate crisis experienced in the 21st century is a never seen before challenge that needs a collective response to address this global problem. Current processes of adaptation concern themselves mostly on local, regional or national level. As of now, the response to climate risks has not led to a cooperative approach to the issue, which has led to detrimental effects for those countri

The aim of this study was to examine how Lithuanian newspapers described child abuse between the years 2016 and 2018. The study is based on 42 articles about child abuse from Lithuanian newspapers, which were later processed with qualitative content analyzis. The analyzis of the articles was based on two different theories; claims-making theory and social constructivism. The result of the study sh

The Swedish legislation regulates that food producers provide safe food from a microbiological perspective. One way to ensure the foods´ quality, is to control the microbiological levels by combining the measures of different time durations and temperatures during cooking. The elimination of microorganisms in food depends on both temperature and time. The higher the temperature, the shorter the ti

A minimum wage policy has often been implemented to get workers out of poverty. However, the policy’s impact has been questioned, both theoretically and empirically, whether it fulfils its purpose. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of minimum wage on poverty in India. After the liberal reforms in 1991 has India been growing steadily, which has been followed by decreasing poverty

The hunter-gatherer group of Neolithic Scandinavia, the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC), appeared when the initial farmer society, the Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC), had already existed for several hundreds of years. They lived side by side first with the FBC, and later with the Battle Axe Culture (BAC), without adopting the agricultural lifestyle. Although the PWC individuals from a Baltic Sea Island (Go

This thesis investigates the macroeconomic relationship between education and CO2 emissions in developing countries. Building on existing literature, a framework is constructed that tries to identify the links underlying this relationship. Education is postulated to affect CO2 emissions in developing countries indirectly through inducing growth, fostering technological change, driving structural t

Eoliska sanddyner är en sällan undersökt resurs ur ett paleoklimatperspektiv. Genom att undersöka dynernas geomorfologi och strukturer kan de klassificeras som olika dyntyper. Eoliska sanddyner kräver speciella omständigheter och förutsättningar för att bildas och agerar värdefulla klimatarkiv för de tidperioder då de avsatts. Dessa klimatarkiv kan berätta om den lokala miljön gällande bland annatAeolian sand dunes is a seldom studied resource from the perspective of paleoclimates. By analysing the dunes geomorphology and structures they can be classified into different type of dunes. Aeolian dunes require special circumstances and conditions to be met to enable their deposition. The sand dunes can then act as precious climate archives for the time periods during which they were formed. Th
