Our purpose was to examine why and how to start a ”bridge building enterprise” between qualified Chinese human capital and Swedish structure capital. The theoretical framework consists of literature from well renowned authors and is divided into four different parts: Intellectual Capital, Knowledge Management, China & Intercultural understanding. The empirical foundation has been gathered from
This chapter investigates participatory sense-making within ecological sound art. The field links to “a broader set of cultural practices in which the imperial power of ‘the human’ over the rest of the world is shifting in favor of what we might call a more eco-systemic engagement” (Hogg, 2013). In summer 2018, the project sent poet Gunnar D. Hansson, composer Anders Hultqvist and ecological sound
Background: Treatment of chronically occluded infrainguinal venous bypass grafts in patients presenting with recurrent chronic limb threatening limb ischemia (CLTI) represent a clinical challenge. Recent case reports have suggested the use of endovascular recanalization techniques without preceding thrombolysis. This study assesses feasibility and mid-term outcomes of this technique. Results: A re
Den teknologiska utvecklingen och digitaliseringen av arbetslivet påverkar hur information kan skapas, bearbetas, lagras och kommuniceras. Integreringen av informationsteknologi (IT) i arbetet förändrar förutsättningarna för utförandet av arbetsuppgifter och skapar nya arbetsförhållanden förknippade med IT-användning. Anställda kan behöva förhålla sig till att vara tillgängliga utanför arbetet, föThe technological advancements and digitalization of work has transformed how information is created, processed, stored and communicated. The integration of information technology (IT) has created new working conditions. Employees need to handle expectations of being accessible outside of work, responding to messages and learning new technology. The purpose of this study was to use the Job Demands
Terrorist organisations ability to conduct successful counterintelligence activities to achieve operational security is key in managing a successful terrorist attack. This thesis examines empirical data by using an analytical framework consisting of three complexity levels of terrorist counterintelligence: Basic denial, Adaptive denial, and Covert manipulation. Within the analysed case, eight inci
This thesis uses Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and Multimodal Discourse Analysis to study how a house of brands, like Procter & Gamble (P&G), handles femvertising, that it is produced by its own brands. The paper analyses the phenomenon using examples from commercials that belong to P&G’s #WeSeeEqual campaign and the controversial commercial video from Gillette The best men can
Plant-insect interactions play a crucial role in the evolution of the coevolving web of life, shaping local interaction networks and moulding the diversity and the evolutionary history of two of the most diverse groups of organisms on earth. The interaction between Lithophragma bolanderi (Saxifragaceae), which presents a geographic mosaic of ploidy levels, and the pollinating floral parasite Greya
Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv
This thesis identifies the increasingly hegemonic narrative surrounding green capitalism, what the narrative entails and how the discourse may manifest materially in policies and development programs. Specifically, the thesis explores how the narrative of green capitalism and green growth is expressed in the discourse in communication in the case of P4G – Partnering for Green Growth and Global Goa
In-band full-duplex has emerged as an attractive solution for significantly enhancing the throughput of wireless communication systems by doubling the spectrum efficiency compared to conventional half-duplex systems. However, the existence of self-interference is a significant barrier to operate full-duplex systems. In order to cancel the self-interference by analog and digital solutions, time syn
Transformativt ledarskap är en av de mest inflytelserika teorierna inom ledarskapsforskning idag och dess fördelar har blivit uppmärksammade från flertalet perspektiv. Syftet med följande studie var att undersöka relationen mellan personlighetsdrag i HEXACO-modellen, en utmanare till den etablerade femfaktormodellen, och uppskattandet av transformativ ledarskapsstil. Datan samlades in genom en intTransformational leadership is one of the most influential theories in leadership research today and its benefits have been highlighted from several perspectives. The purpose of the following study was to examine the relationship between personality traits in the HEXACO model, a contender to the established five-factor model, and the appreciation of transformational leadership style. The data was
The insurance industry is notoriously conservative and has seen comparably few technological improvements in the last fifty years. A wave of new technology- driven insurance firms, or insurtechs, is changing that. By leveraging new technology and offering more customer-centric and innovative products, these firms have captured shares in many insurance markets. One technology — yet to be broadly a
Up to 5% of children in Sweden experience domestic violence at home. A common misunderstanding when it comes to children being exposed to domestic violence is that they are not being harmed by the exposure. As a result of this, children are not being adequately protected against the potentially harmful outcomes that follow. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how and if children’s risk
The aim of this thesis has been to analyze the case of Google Spain v. AEDP, and the legal impacts of that particular case. One of the most important outcomes of the case was the establishment of the principle of the right to be forgotten. The definition of the principle of the right to be forgotten is to grant a data subject the right to have his or her personal information deleted and thus, maki
Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p
This thesis work contributes to the effort of detecting single rare earth ions doped into crystals, an operation crucial for the development of rare earth quantum computer hardware. Doping crystals with rare earth elements, their trivalent ions substitute some of the crystal’s original bonds. These ions have a partially filled 4f shell, protected by the full 5s and 5p shell from the environment wh
This paper highlights new challenges to Sweden’s psychological defense, brought on by new information and communication technology which by its nature divides society. By evaluating older theories regarding framing, the paper finds that not only the way information is spread but also the social practice in connection to it is changed by the decentralizing aspects of modern information technologies
The purpose of this study is to examine how debate articles in Swedish newspapers manufacture the consequences of legalizing cannabis, in two different time periods, 2005 to 2010 and 2015 to 2020. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of 59 debate articles from five different Swedish newspapers. 26 debate articles represented the first period and 33 debate articles represented the l
This thesis investigates how Vicke Lindstrand’s public sculpture Legend i glas, located in Teaterparken in Växjö, can be related to its location and spatial context in terms of meaning, function and reception. Central questions asked are: How do changes in the direct surroundings affect the situation of reception? How does that affect the meaning and function of the sculpture? To what extent is me
Molten salt applications are challenging from a material perspective. This degree project was carried out at Alfa Laval to give them a better understanding of the corrosion of solar salt on the standard heat exchanger material stainless steel 321. Similar tests have previously been performed externally. By developing test methods for in-house corrosion testing time and money can be saved. In thi
