Denna fallstudie syftar till att utvinna fördjupad kunskap om mellanchefens komplexa och mångtydiga roll som meningsskapare och meningsgivare under en digitaliseringsförändring. Tidigare forskning har nämligen betonat mellanchefens roll som avgörande under en förändringsprocess. Detta eftersom mellancheferna innehar en roll som meningsskapare när de omvandlar övergripande organisationsinformation The purpose of this case study is to gain a deepened knowledge about the middle manager's complex and ambiguous role as sensemakers and sensegivers during a digital change. Former research has emphasized the middle manager’s role as crucial during a process of change. This because the middle managers hold a role as sensemakers when they convert the organizational information to their own units
The understanding of the link between the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector and gender has been extensively researched and is widely accepted as foundational for achieving safe and equal provision of WASH-facilities. Interventions aimed at improvements in the sector are common in low- and middle-income countries, however, there is a limited number of approaches for measuring their outcom

Artificial neural networks are, again, on the rise. The decreasing costs of computing power and the availability of big data together with advancements of neural network theory have made this possible. In this thesis, LSTM (long short-term memory) recurrent neural networks are used in order to perform financial time series forecasting on return data of three stock indices. The indices are S&P
When we discovered that children's literature is actively used in social work as a therapeutic tool for children whom have been exposed to domestic violence, we chose to analyse what these books were mediating to children. The aim of our study was to reveal how domestic violence is constructed in children's literature. Therefore, our focus has been the constructions of violence, constructi
Like many other international human rights law instruments, the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees was written from a male perspective, which has resulted in that the refugee definition of the Convention historically has been interpreted through a framework of male experiences. For this reason, many asylum claims of female applicants have been ignored. In order to be granted refug
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
In January 2014 a reformed CFP came into force in the EU. The reformed policy tackled many of the policy field’s troubled areas and offered realistic solutions for elements of the policy which had been criticised for years by academics, stakeholders and even EU institutions. The purpose of this thesis is to explain how the reformed policy came about and in doing so it adopts a case study design wh
This report is the result of a Master Thesis project in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering LTH at Lund University. The project was conducted in collaboration with ArjoHuntleigh AB, a company based in Malmö, Sweden. ArjoHuntleigh develops integrated healthcare solutions for people with low mobility and thereto related problems. The report describes the deve
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Hjälper Nhandugue-flodens vatten Urema-sjön i Gorongosa Nationalpark, Moçambique, från att torka ut? I de centrala delarna av Moçambique ligger Gorongosa Nationalpark som skyddar ett omfattande ekosystem av flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter drygt 20 år av inbördeskrig hade 1994 antalet stora däggdjur, så som lejon, zebror och bufflar, minskatGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Rift. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. From 20 years of civil war the large-mammal population in the park had in year 1994 been reduced by 90 % or more, and in 2004 a restoration project was started in order
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
The industry of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly during the last decade, with for example carbon nanotubes (CNTs) incorporated in high-tech composites and nanosized TiO2 in sunscreens and paint. With an increased potential of human exposure to these novel ENPs, especially during production and handling of nanoparticles, the concern of risks when people become exposed has increased
Assisterad befruktning har, vid sidan av internationella adoptioner, kommit att skapa möjligheter framför allt för de som lider av ofrivillig barnlöshet, att bilda familjer som inte är baserade på genetiska eller biologiska band. De olika metoderna för behandling av ofrivillig barnlöshet ger upphov till en rad etiska och juridiska frågor, bland annat om vilka metoder som ska tillåtas och vilka kraAssisted reproductive technology has, in addition to international adoptions, come to create opportunities, particularly for those who suffer from infertility, to form families that are not based on genetic or biological ties. The various methods of treating infertility raises a number of ethical and legal issues, including what methods are to be permitted and the requirements that must be met in
Sammanfattning I Europakonventionen artikel 8 skyddas rätten till privatliv. Varje person har rätt till skydd av personuppgifter som tillhör honom eller henne. Globalisering och teknologisk utveckling har anmärkningsvärt förändrat sättet på hur personuppgifter behandlas. En uppdaterad lagstiftning för personuppgiftsskydd behövs och EUs föreslagna förordning reflekterar tydligt utmaningarna för Summary The protection of personal data is a fundamental right in accordance with Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Every person has the right to the protection of information that concerns him or her. Globalisation and technological advancements have enormously transformed the way our personal data is collected. An updated legislation on data protection is needed and the pr
The possibility to make environmental strategy a part of the core strategy through a framework called inside-out/outside-in was suggested by Porter in 2007. Researchers have also stated that the output of implementing a certain strategy ought to be valued during strategy planning. The two areas; environmental strategy and profitability analysis have although not frequently been combined, and thus
This article aims to expand our understanding of projectification in Swedish municipalities. Above all the article explores to what extent processes of projectification can be identified and if so how they unfold. The article draws its inspiration from critical management studies and uses the notion of sensemaking to identify the practices of projectification processes. Three processes of projecti
Attention is drawn to the feasibility of using high sensitivity isothermal heat conduction calorimetry to study metabolic responses of differently processed and stored fresh-cut fruit. The heat production of endogenous (tissue metabolism during 12 h of analysis at 10 degrees C for kiwifruit and strawberry) and exogenous (microbial growth during 18 d of analysis at 10 degrees C for cantaloupe) biol
