This Master’s thesis investigates how public administrations in Sweden have developed e-archives and how these have been tailored according to the needs of use. The study takes off from within the context of what is called e-Government, which means that public administrations increase their use of IT in order to facilitate their operation and interaction with citizens. This development has been ch
Denna magisteruppsats är baserad på en översättning av valda delar av en amerikansk handbok som på ett underhållande sätt förklarar värdepappershandel och aktieinvestering. Uppsatsen är indelad i tre delar: källtextanalys, överväganden inför översättningen och översättningskommentar. Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins analysmetoder ligger till grund för källtextanalysen som även kompletterats med in
Stakeholders’ participation has been recognized as a pillar for a transition toward a more sustainable society. However, there is little empirical evidence concerning the viability of participation mechanisms at large scale. This research analyzes a popular referendum process in Switzerland against a law that would have been a step toward a low-carbon society in the Canton of Fribourg. Aiming to i
Attention to the role of religious NGOs (RNGOs) in international arenas has grown in the past decade. This study explored the role of values in the policies of RNGOs involved in humanitarian aid. It sought to compare the values of RNGOs with varying levels of involvement with the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response (SCHR) in order to determine if values may be an issue inhibiting cooperat

The thesis questions whether it is possible to justify an elevated railway solution instead of using cut and fill techniques. The report describes the construction techniques followed by different socio-economic effects such as maintenance, barrier effect and land claims. Construction time and construction costs for a number of traditional railway and elevated railway projects are presented in the
Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the profile of contemporary skills and knowledge provided in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) postgraduate programs offered by Swedish universities and compares them with job requirements. Design/methodology/approach – This master thesis employs the desk-based research involving content analysis based on 14 postgraduate LSCM pro
Forskning kring tidigt liv möter svårigheter utöver de som forskning kring senare liv ställs inför. På grund av att de tidigaste bergarterna inte finns bevarade har viktig information om jordens tidiga förhållanden för evigt gått förlorad. Dessutom var de tidigaste livsformerna små och morfologiskt enkla, vilket betyder att abiotiska pseudofossil lätt kan infiltrera fossilarkivet. Ett centralt temEarly life research faces additional challenges than those of the study of later life forms. Due to the de-materialization of the earliest rocks, valuable information about the early Earth is forever lost. Furthermore, early life was small and morphologically basic, effectuating abiotic pseudofossils to infiltrate the fossil record. A central theme is the close connection early life research share
Design och formgivning har blivit allt viktigare för en produkts möjlighet till kommersiell framgång. En följd av brukskonstens ökade ekonomiska och kulturella betydelse har blivit att en ny typ av företag, vars affärsidé bygger på att sälja reproduktioner av kända designmöbler har växt fram. I Sverige har Ikon M och Designers Revolt uppmärksammats särskilt. Företagen har utnyttjat att Storbritann
Den ökade globaliseringen har bidragit till att alltmer gränsöverskridande verksamhet utövas av internationella koncerner. Förekomsten av skatteplanering för att undgå en hög skattesats har således ökat, vilket även orsakat att staternas skattebaser rubbats. Som en reaktion på de ökade gränsöverskridande aktiviteterna har internationella samarbeten etablerats i syfte att minska missbruk av de nati
Problemställning: Ändringar i EU:s lagstiftning har på senare tid förändrat mervärdesmatsbranschen genom att skärpa kraven för påståenden till konsumenter. Samtidigt har mervärdesprodukter växer för husdjur ökat. Att på ett korrekt sätt följa den nya lagstiftningen kräver en ny typ av kunskap inom mervärdesbranscherna, vilket blir ännu tydligare för produkter med innovative påståenden som inte är Background: Recent changes in EU legislation have changed the industry of functional foods by tightening substantiation requirements for claims made to consumers. Parallelly, functional products are growing within the pet food segment. To follow the new legislation requires a new kind of knowledge within both industries, which becomes even more apparent when developing innovative products with les
The upcoming changes in the demographic structure will put pressure on the healthcare system in Skåne. Tax financed hospitals with more beds, doctors, nurses and other personnel will not be the solution to cope with the upcoming demands. Increasing healthcare productivity is one way, where digital healthcare is a potential part of the solution. One of the major limitations of the digital healthcar
Phosphorus and nitrogen causes eutrophication in the lakes and seas. One source for phosphorous and nitrogen is wastewater from households. To reduce the impact to the seas it is important to purify the wastewater sufficient.In my literature study I have investigated if the greywater (wastewater from bath/shower, dish och wash) has any environmental and health influence on the surroundings. I have
Today’s work environment is currently undergoing radical changes and although the aware-ness of social collaboration is growing within organizations, they still struggle with the digital transformation and thereby with the integration of Enterprise Social Network (ESN). Our study aims to investigate the role of ESN within the todays’ organizations. Specifically, it intends to build on previous res
The eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel.

The connection between supply chains, markets and businesses is getting more and more complex and it can be a big problem for enterprises to solve. One solution to the problem is the usage of a business intelligence system. This system helps the organization analyze critical data that can lead to saving resources by making the right decisions. The world is getting more and more mobile, and the BI-
Wastewater is an excellent source of nutrients and energy. By treating the wastewater in a clever way, it is possible to both recycle nutrients and recover energy, and thereby create opportunities for a sustainable system. In conventional wastewater treatment where the activated sludge process is used, aeration is needed and a lot of biomass is produced. In regions with warmer climate, or if low-v
Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur patienter upplevde deltagandet i en gruppbaserad behandling kallad RAINBOW. RAINBOW är en psykosocial behandlingsmodell för ungdomar med bipolär sjukdom och deras föräldrar. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra ungdomar som tidigare deltagit i behandling enligt RAINBOW-modellen. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med hjälp av grundad teori viThe aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of having participated in a group treatment called RAINBOW. RAINBOW is a psychosocial treatment for adolescents with bipolar disorder and their parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four adolescents who previously had participated in RAINBOW. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data and six main themes were identified
COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) obtained from recently recovered people is safe and effective against SARS-CoV-2. Currently available CCP is a “hybrid” product with antibodies from individuals who had both infection and vaccination (vaccine-boosted CCP). B-cell depleted patients are at risk of not producing antibodies after either infection or vaccination, hence conceivably among those who woul
