In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled

Today aromatic ring flipping has become a classic example to highlight the highly dynamic character of proteins. These dynamics occur when the aromatic side chains in phenylalanine and tyrosine turn 180o around its Cβ–Cγ axis, also known as its χ2 dihedral. Discovered in the 1970s’ these ring flippings are a common internal probe used in NMR spectroscopy to understand the protein interior dynamics

In a rapidly changing business environment, organisations need to find new ways to manage unpredictability to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it apparent that organisations across industries can be vulnerable and exposed to crisis. Therefore, this thesis aims to research how organisations can manage crises in a changing world and become more receptive to change, to provide valuable knowled

Architecture is always intrinsically tied to place. Regardless of how architects choose to interact with and study it, the context our buildings are meant to inhabit is an important piece of the puzzle. As the world is getting more interconnected and geographical constraints are getting less important to the architectural profession, I am interested in how the creative process changes when assumpt

Humanitarian aid workers (HAWs) face increasing risks in conflict zones, with 2024 marking the deadliest year on record. International humanitarian organisations (IHOs) must address this trend to continue delivering aid and protecting HAWs. This study investigates how IHOs adapt to the evolving risks in these contexts and explores challenges that adaptation measures may entail. A qualitative resea

In modern recruitment, organizations tend to face a persistent paradox: they must align candidates with existing cultural values while simultaneously promoting workforce diversity. This thesis investigates how HR professionals navigate the inherent tension between organizational fit and diversity within recruitment processes across multinational public and private organizations in Europe and South

Denna studie är en fallstudie av en byggnad belägen i Malmö, Sverige, som undersöker olika energieffektiva åtgärder och deras potentiella påverkan på byggnadens energikonsumtion. En förstudie genomfördes för att inhämta kunskap om tillämpliga energieffektiva åtgärder från befintlig forskning. Därefter genomfördes fallstudien i tre huvudsakliga faser. I den första fasen samlades byggnadsinformationThis study is a single case study of a building situated in Malmö, Sweden, examining various retrofit measures and their potential impact on the building’s energy performance. A pre-study was carried out to gain knowledge on applicable retrofitting measures from existing literature. Subsequently, the case study consisted of three major phases. In the first phase, building information was collected

In the background of climate change, consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of products. In China, more food companies started to apply and use the green food label as their strategy tool which can be used to attract customers and gain good reputation. However, it is still not clear how the green food label works and improves the firm reputation standing in customer pe

In urban areas, the battle of space is more important than ever. The spaces and environments we grow up in are shown to be crucial for the identity we develop throughout our childhood. Therefore, the way our cities are designed and developed can largely impact who we become. The whole perception of society starts with children’s play, yet we tend to deprioritize their playing environments. For dec

Title: How to become one in reality – A qualitative study about how different factors can influence knowledge sharing within cross-cultural virtual teams and how they can be facilitated Seminar date: June 3th, 2021 Course: BUSN39 – Degree Project in Global Marketing Researchers: Rebecca Roos & Mikaela Vanselius Supervisor: Ulf Elg Keywords: virtual teams, cross-cultural teams, knowledge

Wireless communication has seamlessly integrated itself into our daily lives, with Ericsson pioneering the development of comprehensive mobile ecosystems. As the demand for data traffic continues to surge, the enhancement of both cellular radio systems and backhaul infrastructure remains paramount. Within this context, Ericsson leverages microwave transport network solutions to address backhaul ne

This thesis presents a case for the establishment of a human right to financial inclusion under the human rights framework, as well as argues for states to legitimize the right through legal protection in the form of a legislation in order to effectively guarantee the significant benefits of the right for everyone. The rationale for this research is that, despite its immense contribution in human

In today's digital era, where personalized experiences have become crucial to consumer interactions with brands, the balance between personalization and privacy remains a complex and evolving challenge. Despite the recognized benefits of personalization in driving consumer spending, concerns about privacy and data security persist among individuals. This study addresses the "personalizati

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker förändringarna i arbetsgivarens möjligheter att säga upp en arbetstagare på grund av personliga skäl såsom bristande arbetsprestation och samarbetssvårigheter efter LAS-reformen 2022. Fokuset har varit att undersöka hur förändringen från “saklig grund” till “sakliga skäl” har påverkat regleringen kring uppsägningar. Studien har även syftat till att analyserAbstract The aim of the study is to investigate the differences in employers' possibilities regarding dismissals due to personal reasons after the reform of Employment Protection Act 2022, such as poor work performance and cooperation difficulties. The main focus has been to investigate how the changes from "objective ground" to “objective reason” has affected the regulation regardin

Enhancers are central regulators of cell-type-specific gene expression, yet direct functional mapping of active enhancer-promoter interactions in single cells remains technically challenging. DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam)-based chromatin recording offers a strategy to mark genomic regions proximal to proteins associated with active transcription sites in vivo, including enhancer regions, and

The ATLAS experiment has performed extensive searches for the electroweak production of charginos, neutralinos, and staus. This article summarizes and extends the search for electroweak supersymmetry with new analyses targeting scenarios not covered by previously published searches. New searches use vector-boson fusion production, initial-state radiation jets, and low-momentum lepton final states,

Although Singapore, a linguistically and ethnically diverse city–state, uses four official languages, namely Malay, Mandarin, Tamil, and English, which are supposed to enjoy equal status, there appears to be a pecking order to these languages. English seems to be the dominant language when taking into consideration the bilingual education policy, numerous campaigns promoting its use in terms of sp
