Issue of study: The development of technology and society is closely linked. Mutual dependency and complex interrelationships make straightforward analysis of issues regarding the future of technology and society hard to perform. Therefore, the study addresses the question of how organizations should describe and analyze the interactions of technology and society in order to gain a better understa
The aim of the study presented in this report was to investigate what cues cyclists use to interpret the intention of motor vehicles (MVs) they interact with. This was done with help of on-site observations of cyclists’ interactions with motor vehicles (MV) at signalised intersections with different bicycle infrastructure facilities: A) no dedicated cycle facility, B) cycle lane and C) cycle path.The aim of the study presented in this report was to investigate what cues cyclists use to interpret the intention of motor vehicles (MVs) they interact with.

Theories based on optimal sampling by the retina have been widely applied to visual ecology at the level of the optics of the eye, supported by visual behaviour. This leads to speculation about the additional processing that must lie in between-in the brain itself. But fewer studies have adopted a quantitative approach to evaluating the detectability of specific features in these neural pathways.
Animals are often used in advertising, especially in commercials. When given human characteristics, and used in several commercials over a longer period of time, anthropomorphic animal spokespersons are born. These animals are neither real animals nor humans. They are hybrids, or fake animals. Fake in the sense that they are fictive, they lack an existing model and they are an assembly of many thi
The purpose of this essay was to focus on the prospects and limitations for the drug-abusers to make a change to a new way of life. Questions: What can literature tell us about the risks involved with the client leaving the treatmentfacility? How can social service departments offer support and what kind of support does the client request? What is important for him/her to feel participant in socie
Emanating from Putnam’s two-level game theory of international negotiations, the thesis analyse the interplay between the domestic, the supranational and the international level in the European Union, when negotiating the Bra War with China. The thesis expands Putnam’s theory into a three-level game theory in order to better understand the complexity of the European Union. The work concludes five
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken roll konstnärliga uttryck spelar i uppmärksammandet av mänskliga rättigheter hos fyra icke-statliga organisationer, vilka är Lunds Fontänhus, Rädda Barnen Lund, Amnesty International Sverige och Human Rights Watch Sverige. Det här syftet undersöks med hjälp av fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem intervjupersoner som arbetar hos eller samarThe aim of this thesis is to examine the role that artistic expressions play in drawing attention to human rights at four non-governmental organizations, which are Lunds Fontänhus, Rädda Barnen Lund, Amnesty International Sweden and Human Rights Watch Sweden. This purpose is examined by using four semistructured interviews with five interviewees who work at or collaborate with the non-governmental
India's open prisons offer an innovative method of confinement by giving some prisoners more freedom and chances for rehabilitation. However, little is known about how individuals who are directly involved, such as detainees, their families, and prison staff, see these jails. This thesis aims to investigate their viewpoints and experiences, with a particular emphasis on stigma, incarceration,
Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera hur regelverket kring penningtvätt samspelar med dataskyddsrätten, särskilt i fråga om hanteringen av kunduppgifter som används för att uppfylla bankers krav på kundkännedom. Uppsatsen behandlar dels vilka skyldigheter bankerna har enligt penningtvättsregler, dels vilka krav EU:s dataskyddsbestämmelser ställer på bankernas behandling av personuppgThe purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse how Anti-Money Laundering regulations interact with Data protection law, particularly regarding the handling of customer data used to fulfil banks’ customer due diligence requirements. The thesis examines both the obligations imposed on banks under Anti-Money Laundering rules and the requirements set by the EU’s data protection framework for th
This thesis aims to explain the rise of CSR and the increasing private sector strategies within foreign aid in Sweden. The theoretical approach is grounded in three hypotheses that could explain the rise of this I) that the global idea on a changed role for business has fostered the development II) that it is due to a conservative more pro-business government in power or III) that it is a developm
This research emerges from an ongoing debate about the plans of building a new Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. In 2009 the proposal Lambda won the architectural competition issued by Oslo Municipality, and since then a conflict has accumulated regarding the architectural design, if the building fulfills the normative functions of an art museum, and what role the art museum plays as a knowledge-based
This report is an evaluation of the Swedish police force qualifications and competence regarding fire investigations, more specific regarding their knowledge in fire theory and fire behavior.

Their intention is to gather information about why the fire occurred. Th
This master thesis analyzes the accounting and auditing reforms in the Post-Soviet world. It is the very interesting issue, because comparing with the rest of Europe and Asia the former soviet countries have extra challenges in this process. They are not only trying to adopt international accounting and auditing standards, but also move away from command economy which is not an easy task. The regu
Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should
Att glömma något vi vill minnas är irriterande, men glömska för oviktig information kan hjälpa oss att minnas det som är relevant. Studier om glömska på grund av att gammal och irrelevant information stör den information som ska återkallas (proaktiv interferens, PI) har visat att man kan reducera interferens genom att introducera ny information som skiljer sig från den gamla, och på så sätt förbätForgetting what we want to remember is irritating, but forgetting unimportant information can help us remember what is relevant. Studies of forgetting due to older, irrelevant information interfering with what needs to be recalled (proactive interference, PI) have shown that interference can be reduced by introducing new information that is different to the previous, helping memory for this materi
This is an explorative study about subject indexing of a special collection of books, administered by the John Andrén Foundation at the library of Ystad. The study summarises a number of theoretical perspectives as well as some practical instructions on how to carry out the task. Theories have been placed into five different groups according to their various approaches to subject indexing. These h
This thesis investigates how Swedish municipalities perceive and interpret their responsibilities within crisis management, specifically regarding the provision of food to schools and care facilities. In the context of Sweden's civil defense there is considerable uncertainty about the division of responsibilities between governing actors. By analyzing how they perceive and try to fulfill their
Den kriminalpolitiska debatten har under de senaste åren till stor del handlat om de unga lagöverträdarna. Barn under 15 år utnyttjas av den organiserade brottsligheten till att begå grova brott till följd av deras särbehandling inom straffrätten. Dessa barn har ännu inte uppnått straffbarhetsåldern men kan likväl begå brott i juridisk mening enligt svensk rätt. Sedan år 1964 har det funnits en mö
Archetypes, as universal patterns or prototypes, are deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness and shape our expectations about the appearance, function, and meaning of objects. However, as products and their contexts change, it becomes necessary to find ways to break away from existing archetypal images. This thesis explores the development of archetypes, the boundaries of object categori
