Landfill operators require rapid site characterisations in order to optimise economics and meet environmental regulation during both site monitoring and expansion. Geophysical surveys are increasingly filling this need, with geoelectrical and seismic methods among the most commonly demanded methods. This paper presents and discusses two cases in which geophysical methods were applied to map the suLandfill operators require rapid site characterisations in order to optimise economics and meet environmental regulation during both site monitoring and expansion.

This paper presents a theoretically and methodologically grounded GIS-based model for the measurement and mapping of an index of living conditions in urban residential areas across Sweden. Further, the model is compared and evaluated using the Swedish Police’s assessment of crime-exposed areas. The results indicate that the geographically measured vulnerable living conditions overlap to a large ex

Purpose Complex organizations increasingly rely on middle managers as strategic linking-pins between the top and bottom levels of the organization. Using social identity theory and commitment theory as the foundation, this study evaluates a management and leadership development program (MLDP) intended to engage middle managers as strategy creators and implementers. We also evaluate the cascading e

Freezing is a widely used method of preserving food products. Efforts are currently being directed towards improving the quality of the sensitive tissues of plant foods such as leaves, after freezing and thawing. One of the methods under investigation is the combination of vacuum impregnation (VI) with cryoprotectants and the application of a pulsed electric field (PEF) to the plant tissue prior t

Tom Tyler’s theory of procedural justice argues that police may foster legitimacy by acting “procedurally just”. This can be done by granting citizens opportunities to partake in decision-making, by making decisions impartial and unbiased, and by showing dignity, respect and honesty in public interactions. Legitimacy depends on people’s assessments of fairness, Tyler argues. His psychological theo

What significance does Sense of Belonging hold in workplaces? Studies on Belonging are extensive and have revealed numerous positive effects. Despite this, there has long been a gap in the research focusing on the impact of Belonging in the workplace. The aim of this study was to investigate Sense of Belonging and its potential influence on Organizational Identification (OID), Self-Efficacy, and w

The aim of this thesis is to identify archivists’ attitudes towards crowdsourcing to see how they relate to modern archival theory and science. The study focuses on reliability, functionality and potential in user generated metadata. Crowdsourcing in the archival profession is connected to our increased internet use and the general digitalization of society, but it is also a result of a paradigm s

This thesis examines how the European Commission depoliticises TTIP, the free trade agreement currently negotiated by EU and the US government and what the consequences are. Taking on a discourse theoretical perspective on power, inspired by Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, where language plays a central part, this thesis regards depoliticisation as a discursive phenomenon. As language according
