Purpose: The Workplace Dialogue is a digitalized method directed at managers. The purpose of this study was to explore managers’ experiences of using the digital Workplace Dialogue in cases of employee ill-health. Design/methodology/approach: The Workplace Dialogue provides an easy and accessible method for managers, including text, short films, client examples and concrete guides that provides su
Modeling of real-world fuels and fuel mixtures in combustion engines, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), calls for the development of compact and computationally efficient chemical kinetic mechanisms. To improve the modeling capabilities of multicomponent fuels it is necessary to transition from the single-component descriptions of fuels and move toward more complex, accurate multicomponent
Indigenous archaeology and archaeology of Indigeneity are paramount in the contemporary world. We certainly need more of it across the archaeological scale and across the archaeological globe. Archaeology’s unhealthy attachment to colonialism, colonial administration and imperialism keeps on affecting our discipline on all levels. It is therefore encouraging to read Felix Acuto’s call for an engag
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions:Our paper outlines the development of vocabulary proficiency tests for minority languages and addresses the challenges in doing so.Design/Methodology/Approach:The strategies are exemplified based on recently developed tests for Sicilian and Venetan, two large languages in Italy without official status. Users of these types of languages tend to have on
The Social Democratic Workers Party of Sweden portrays itself as a party for all workers. However, with the precarious situation of the newly emerged crowdworkers the status quo, in terms of letting the unions handle it, is not enough of a solution, which is puzzling. Or in other words, it is not seen as a strong enough action. Therefore, three hypotheses on why the Social Democratic Workers Party
The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
The problem of echo separation using digital beamforming (DBF) on receive for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is of notable importance to allow for practical systems. Regrettably, current DBF-MIMO-SAR schemes, such as the short-term shift-orthogonal (STSO) scheme, are computationally cumbersome, increasing the required hardware complexity. To alleviate this pro
Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery provokes substantial pain and therefore analgesic consumption. The effect of fascial plane blocks on analgesic efficacy and overall patient satisfaction remains unclear. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that fascial plane blocks improve overall benefit analgesia score (OBAS) during the initial 3 days after robotically assisted mitral valve r
Objective: To investigate the impact of including fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in the planning of paediatric radiotherapy (RT). Methods: Target volumes were first delineated without and subsequently re-delineated with access to 18F-FDG PET scan information, on duplicate CT sets. RT plans were generated for three-dimensional conformal photon RT (
I present a theoretical model for competitive interaction between schools and grade inflation. To test the model, I estimate the effect of competition on grade inflation in Swedish upper secondary schools using data from all schools in the years 2012-2015. To solve the endogeneity problem of competition, I use Instrumental Variable estimation with Fixed Effects. I use the sudden shutdown of 17 sch
The main focus of this paper is to establish diagnostics of stator faults of the stator windings of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) drive system. To accomplish this objective, a new diagnostic method is proposed. In the proposed method, stator fault detection is based on the dc offset of the Stator Flux Linkage (SFL) in the antisynchronous reference frame (ASRF). The DC offset of the
Purpose: To investigate factors guiding follow-up imaging after hospital discharge in atraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) across large European academic centers and compare decision-making patterns using a standardized approach. Methods: Expert neuroradiologists from nine European centers in eight countries detailed their follow-up algorithms for deep and lobar ICH, specifying (1) patient-re
People's preferences for income inequality vary, and this research investigates the influence of socioeconomic status on these preferences. Drawing on a structural position theory that considers individuals’ self-interest and rationality to be driven by their socioeconomic status, this paper examines the extent to which socioeconomic status affects the likelihood of accepting income inequality
This study analyzes the memory of Rosenhagen, a People’s Park in Anderslöv. The Park was founded in 1930 by the local labor movement and has since then served varied, but important functions in the community. In January 2022, the main building in the Park was burned down in arson, which initiated a process within the association to write down the history of the Park to make sure that Rosenhagen wo
This master's thesis seeks to address the problems associated with the utilisation of sustainable Information Communication Technologies (ICT) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to various barriers such as cost, limited resources, and lack of awareness. The research question seeks to examine the internal factors and characteristics of SMEs that influence their utilisation of ICT
The study explores the influence of agro-processing activities in the lives and livelihoods of cassava farmers in five communities located in four districts in the Ashanti and Volta regions in Ghana. The qualitative research is done by performing thirty-six semi-structured interviews to farmers and stakeholders along the cassava value chain. The research concludes that agro-processing activities a
With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products. In the furniture industry, this approach towards circularity is coupled with consumers being asked to transport the EOL/EOU furniture to second-hand/ret
Med den ökade urbaniseringen som de flesta städer står inför, är utbyggnad av större anläggningar och hushåll oundviklig. Denna expansion medför ett behov av mer tillgänglig markyta att bygga på, vilket även innebär att platser med varierande markförhållandena behöver utnyttjas. Detta kan resultera i att markegenskaperna inte alltid är passande för stora anläggningar. En lösning till detta problemWith the increased urbanization major cities are facing, expansion of larger facilities and households are inevitable. Expansion means larger areas of the surface needs to be used where the risk of varying subsurface soil properties increases with larger surface areas. This can result in soil properties that might not be stable enough to support these constructions. A potential solution to solve t
