The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an influential global actor that in recent years has been criticised for the lack of female representation at their annual Davos summit. The WEF has justified this disparity as simply reflecting the current state of female leadership worldwide. This thesis explores both descriptive and substantive representation within the forum in order to determine whether or no
Given unsustainable food consumption patterns and current policies’ ineffectiveness to change them, new approaches are needed to promote sustainable food practices. In this thesis, I focus on the workplace as a leverage point for change. By studying the case of preschools in Lund with a mixed-methods approach that combines statistical and contextual analysis, I abductively develop a model of how t
10 000kalenderyears ago the first people wandered over the ice and onto Öland. Since then the vegeta-tion of Öland have been exposed to anthropogenic change and impact. During the Iron Age the population of Öland increases greatly due to strong connections to Rome. This time is commonly referred to as ”Ölands guldålder”. An increased population brought about an increase in land use which in turn b
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
Background Today’s diffusion of innovation theories are primarily based on the studies conducted up until 1991, which means that they have not taken the new Internet economies into consideration. When considering the enormous impact the Internet has had since its introduction, it stands to reason that there has also been an impact on how innovations diffuse in the marketplace. Problem definition A
Background Today many large corporations worldwide are facing new competitors that develop good enough products to a low price. This is a well-known problem for large companies and is not an industry specific problem. We have seen new entrants especially from Asia entering, ranging from the airline industry, grocery, retailing, wind energy market, banking to IT services. These are just examples an

With the book The Theory of the Growth of the Firm, published in 1959, takes the researcher Edith Penrose the first step towards what will later be known as the resource based view. Many scholars have since taken up where Penrose left and has further developed the approach to something that can now be described as almost a philosophy. Today is the resource based view synonymous with an internal fo
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om rekryterares personlighet, baserat på de personlighetsdimensionerna från Big Five, men även social önskvärdhet, är relaterat till preferens för särskilda rekryteringsmetoder i en rekryteringsprocess. Social önskvärdhet mättes genom den evaluativa faktorn, som kan beskrivas som en preferens för evaluativ information och en tendens att beskriva sig själv The purpose of this study was to examine if recruiters’ personality, based on the personality dimensions from the Big Five model, but also social desirability, is related to preference for certain recruitment methods within a recruitment process. Social desirability was measured by the evaluative factor, which can be described as a preference for evaluative information and a tendency to describe o
Allt sedan Öresundsbron öppnades år 2000 har både pendlingen över landsgränserna och integrationen i Öresundsregionen gått stadigt framåt. Det pendlas dagligen fram och tillbaka från bostaden i det ena landet till arbetet i det andra, framför allt är pendling över landsgränsen från bostaden i Sverige till arbetet i Danmark omfattande. Det finns alltid en risk för att en inkomsttagare blir dubbelThe commuting and the integration in the Öresund region have progressed ever since the bridge between Denmark and Sweden opened up for traffic in the year of 2000. Every day commuting across the border from the residence in one country to the place of work in the other country is taking place. The commuting between the residence in Sweden to the place of work in Denmark is the far most frequent.

Concordant with a wider political and cultural emphasis on individual choice and selfcare, European patients have during the last decade become empowered stakeholders as a result of digitization. Nonetheless, patient empowerment sits uncomfortable with the prevailing business model pertaining to the majority of pharmaceutical organisations whose PR activities primarily target healthcare profession
Problem definition Sustainability in fashion is one of tomorrow’s most important focuses but is not yet fully established in the industry, neither from the side of the business nor the customer. Customers’ statements tend to show an interest of sustainable fashion, but it is not quite so visible in the sales shares related to sustainable fashion products, which in turn can make sustainable fashion
This thesis applies the decomposition suggested by Alexander and Venkatramanan (2012) to the pay-off of a basket option of two assets with a non-zero strike to derive an approximate price of corresponding basket option. The decomposition yields two sub-baskets and a situation where sub-strikes must be chosen. Approximation errors are studied for different sub-strikes and whenever possible, a rule
Idag finns det få konsultföretag inom samhällsbyggnad som arbetar med FM-frågor. Detta beror bland annat på att det är en svårtolkad definition och begreppet FM är inte etablerat i branschen. Därmed bör konsultföretag utveckla en strategi för sitt FM-arbete. De bör satsa på helhetsuppdrag för att kunna hitta skal-och synergieffekter mellan olika discipliner. Dessa uppdrag kräver samarbeten mellan
Due to the research scarcity in consumers’ secondhand shopping behaviors and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) businesses on social media platforms, this thesis decided to concentrate on both secondhand products and social media. The aim of this thesis is to explore the consumers’ behaviors of buying secondhand products on social media – a new channel of doing C2C businesses. To achieve the research aim
Diabetes typ 2 är en folksjukdom som ständigt ökar i världen där miljöfaktorer och levnadsvanor är de främsta bidragande orsakerna till sjukdomen. Syftet var att utifrån ett patientperspektiv identifiera barriärer och förutsättningar för sjuksköterskans främjande av egenvård. Litteraturstudien grundar sig på 10 kvalitativa intervjustudier. Teman som framkom utifrån barriärer i resultatet var indiv
Alla har vi väl någon gång cyklat till jobbet, eller till skolan för den delen. I glatt humör trampar man upp för stadens brantaste backe tills det plötsligt kommer en rejäl vindstöt - då står man på tramporna, flåsande. Man gör sitt bästa. Men man har vädrets makter emot sig. Så när man väl står där innanför personalkökets trygga väggar (eller föreläsningssalens) är kaffet sedan länge uppdrucket,A new optical interferometer for delay stabilization in attosecond pump/probe experiments is constructed, featuring a custom-made hole-drilled recombination mirror and using a co-propagating HeNe laser for the interference. The interferometer is shown to generate an interference pattern of high enough contrast for delay stabilization. The stability of the measured delay is tested with the interfer
När världen blir mer digitaliserad och våra konsumtionsbeslut baseras på andras recensioner är det intressant att studera vilka faktorer som påverkar vår uppfattade tillfredsställelse. 1200 hotellrecensioner analyseras för att sätta fingret på vilka faktorer som kan vara avgörande när individer ger avvikande positiva eller negativa betyg. Studiens kärna består av tolv faktorer samt sex olika kultu
