Information and communication technologies (ICTs) become more advanced and more accessible which leads to new ways of work. A rather new phenomenon is that of location independent workers (LIWs), who are enabled by these technologies to work while traveling the world. New ways of working assumingly lead to changes in the work-nonwork interface. This study takes a demands and resources approach to

Arbetet utforskar möjligheterna att lyfta fram och synliggöra byggnader som kan ha ett publikt intresse och tillgängliggöra områden och delar av våra städer som idag bara är nåbart av en liten del av befolkningen. Genom att öppna upp mer av vår omvärld ökas förståelsen för hur vårt samhälle fungerar samt bidrar till en starkare samlevnad. Arbetet använder sig av vattenkraftverk som exempelbyggnad

This study examined the acculturation strategies of immigrant adolescents in Sweden and their relation to the mental health symptoms. The participants were 101 immigrant adolescents and 52 Swedish adolescents 15 to 19 years old. ‘Immigration paradox’ was examined comparing the mental health of first and second generation of immigrants and the native Swedes. Youth Self Report was used to assess men

Viktor Orbán as the Prime Minister of Hungary is a figure that dominates headlines both at home and abroad. During his time in Hungarian and European politics, he has never shied away from using history to bolster his political message. Following the ongoing refugee crisis of 2015, he has employed history as tool against refugees. This paper aims to investigate which aspects of Hungarian history O

Research Problem:​ While research on rapid venture growth has mostly focused on high-growth firms in later stages of development, the topic has become increasingly important to understand for new ventures as well. With the establishment of crowdfunding as an alternative source of financing, companies have access to tools that enable quick expansion of their marketing, funding and distribution capa

Background: The IKEA Range & Supply organisation consists of business areas (BAs) and categories. BAs work with product development toward end-customers while the material-based categories work toward suppliers with purchasing and sourcing related tasks. There exists an internal cross-organisational interface between these units and IKEA recently created Sourcing Assignment as a tool to encour

Networking has been found to be ever more important in the economy of today’s globalised world. In recent years, public relations has started to pay attention to the process of networking and network theories. A branch which is understood to be based on networks and which is at the centre of current economic processes is that of creative industries. Creative industries consist of a diversity of sm

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier separating the brain from the circulatory system. The physical barrier is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells, which is the main component used for in vitro modeling. To create more physiologically relevant in vitro models, the field of organs-on-chips has recently been introduced, combining microfluidics and microengineering to

Den här studiens primära syfte är att jämföra och utvärdera två medborgardialogs metoder. De två metoderna är samrådsmöten och Public participatiory GIS (PPGIS). Samrådsmöten är en etablerad metod inom medborgardialog för samhällsplanering i Sverige. Uppsatser syftar till att pröva hypotesen om PPGIS är en effektivare metods för medborgardialog. Uppsatsen utvärderade först de två metoderna med hThe primary purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate two public participation methods. The two methods are public meetings and Public participatory GIS (PPGIS). Public meetings are an established public participation method for urban planning in Sweden. The thesis aims to test the hypothesis if PPGIS is more effective as a public participation method. The thesis first evaluated the two me

Beer is one of the most favorable alcoholic beverages and has a large consumption in the world. However, there are fewer beer consumers who perceive the lacing character after drinking. Four different concentrations (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L and 100 mg/L) of iso-α-acid and two levels (0.3% and 0.15%, w/w) of protein content were investigated towards lacing property on modified hydrophilic and hyd

The company has specialized at making check valves and flow regulators and wanted to develop their products further by implementing technology and creating a system where their customers can monitor the water flow in real time. My task was to look at the different opportunities of what and how this could be done and from that make a concept fully adapted for their needs. From interviews and resea

English as a second language (ESL) classrooms in Sweden constitute multicultural and social platforms where different language backgrounds and attitudes meet and where norms intersect, are contested and negotiated, creating possibilities for some, but limitations for others. The Swedish National Agency for Education promotes norm critical pedagogy (NCP) as a means to tackle degrading treatment and

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine influencer marketing’s effect on customer-based brand equity and customers’ willingness to post brand-promoting user-generated content. Methodology An integrative mixed method approach, with qualitative pre-study for scale development and a quantitative (n=222) main study, has been applied for testing the communication forms effect on the concepts.

Police states are among the most invasive tools at the disposal of an autocratic regime- and the Chekist police state of the USSR is no exception. By arresting, imprisoning, or outright killing any person found to be undesirable or lacking adequate ideological fervor, Stalin’s police force left an indelible mark on the 1930s. They can be viewed as a form of political institution, and as such have

Någon gång i våra liv har vi tittat upp på natthimlen och skådat vår allt lojala kompanjon. Månen har genom mycket av människans historia setts som ett oupn åligt objekt, men år 1969 så gick människan bortom sina gamla bergränsningar och tog sina första kliv på Månen. Från månstenar som samlats in genom detta uppdrag så upptäckte vi att Månen en gång i tiden måste ha haft ett magma hav. Men det unIn this thesis we add a temperature dependence to the newly developed variable polytrope equation of state (Varpoly EOS) from Weppner et al. (2015), making it more universal and more applicable for planetary simulations. In this process we develop a new model for the Gruneisen parameter, which is a parameter that describes how pressure changes with the internal energy. This new model conforms to t

Second-hand retailing has seen a considerable upswing in recent years. Customers rethink their attitude towards a more mindful way of consuming which makes second-hand shopping increasingly popular. This research study took the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework as a foundation leading to its first-time application in second-hand retailing. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationsh

Under detta projekt s˚a analyserades h¨ogenergetiska proton-proton kollisioner i syftet f¨or att b¨attre f¨orst˚a hur den starka v¨axelverkan med hj¨alp av gluoner h˚aller ihop kvarkar, en av materians fundamentalpartiklar, f¨or att bilda hadroner. Dessa h¨ogenergetiska protoner accelereras upp till 99 % av ljusets hastighet med hj¨alp av partikelacceleratorn ”Large Hadron Collider” (LHC), innan dThe purpose of this project is to further investigate whether the collective behavior observed in high energy proton-proton (p-p) collision can be attributed to the formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This is done by measuring the production rate of the strange φ meson in high multiplicity p-p collisions at √sNN = 13 TeV. The high multiplicity p-p events are then divided into different transver

Estimating area of polygons on the Earth’s surface is required in many fields in earth science. In the field of carbon modelling, one application of estimating polygons’ area is to estimate carbon flows for regions. This thesis aims to develop a methodology to estimate area of a polygon on a spherical/ellipsoidal surface applied to the problem to estimate carbon flows in regions. It is common th

Den här studien undersöker utvecklingsstadier i andraspråksinlärares förståelse, perception, av grammatiska strukturer i skrift i svenskan. Perceptionen mäts genom ett grammatikalitetstest, där informanterna antingen godkänner eller underkänner samt korrigerar meningar. Det förra betraktas här som passiv perception och det senare som aktiv perception. Studien utgår från Pienemanns processbarhetshi
