Trots det väldiga överflöd av forskning som finns om organisationsförändring är det idé att börja titta på förändring ur ett mer långsiktigt perspektiv. Detta mot bakgrund av den tidigare forskningen som konstaterar att omkring 70 procent av alla förändringsinitiativ som görs misslyckas. Därför är det väsentligt att förstå förändring och dess implementeringssvårigheter på en djupare dimension. Den

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological illness affecting 10% of all women in childbearing age, 200 000 of them in Sweden, causing abdominal inflammation and adhesion formation, all of which inflicts pain. It affects every aspect of a woman’s life, not the least psychologically, leading to anxiety, depression and decreased function and decreased quality of life. This online survey explored what p

This work investigates how the heat produced by a solar dryer can improve the drying process of newly developed breathable membrane bags for drying and thus preserving fruits in developing countries and the increased efficiency of the process. For that purpose, a solar dryer was built and tested in an indoor solar simulator with similar irradiation as the sun. Due to a limited time span, only one

Syftet med uppsatsen är att reda ut förekomsten av intertextuella och intratextuella referenser i Twin Peaks. Med detta menas de filmlanskaps som kommenteras i serien Jag försöker i texten kartlägga deras härstamning, beskriva hur de dyker upp i serien och förklara deras förekomst. Till sist avser jag att ställa referenserna i relation till Lynchs bakgrund. Även denna utgör en fond mot vilken seri

This paper empirically investigates the relationship between industrial ownership and environmental degradation in the People’s Republic of China, with specific focus on two environmental indicators: volume of SO2 emissions and volume of industrial wastewater deemed unsafe for discharge. Sulfur dioxide and untreated wastewater emissions are considered some of the most problematic environmental and

The observation that countries highly endowed with natural resources often struggle with undesirable economic (e.g. low growth) and social problems has produced a large body of literature on the so-called resource curse over the last decades. One possible relationship that has been investigated is, whether resource abundance affects income inequality. This has been scrutinized to a much lesser ext

China, with the fast developing financial market, experienced two dramatic stock market crisis in recent ten years under government constrains. Thus, monitoring the systemic risk in China is crucial and meaningful. This paper applies CoVaR methodology to measure the dynamic systemic risk of China’s financial market from 1996 to 2016. The financial market is divided into bank and non-bank sectors.

The analysis of peptides using mass spectrometry produces signals, where intact and fragmented peptides are observable as specific signal peaks. This report investigates how signal processing and supervised learning, along with specialized peak detection algorithms, can improve the analysis of such peptide signals in a mass spectrometry technique called Data Independent Acquisition. To make this i

This thesis investigates possible problems due to pressurization of high staircases. The main problem arising when high enclosures are not pressurized in sections in the event of fire is that an imbalance of the pressure profile in the building occurs. Pressure difference between the stairwell and adjacent rooms becomes large enough that the doors to the stairwell may be difficult to open and clos

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att beskriva och analysera efterlevnaden av IFRS 3 utifrån ett storlekskriterium.

Method: The thesis has a descriptive and hypothesis-driven approach. The material has been prepared on the bas

Cooked ham is a particularly popular cured meat product. Nonetheless, meat consumption constitutes a controversial issue, as researchers correlate red and cured meat with the development of colorectal cancer. One of the main compounds of the cured cooked ham is nitrite. Although, its residual amount in products is considered as responsible for the formation of N-nitrosamines and the provocation of

Today, bioethanol is predominately produced with conventional feedstock that may not be desired for ethanol production due to their primary food and animal feed value. Therefore, lignocellulosic biomass, a relatively cheap and non-food competitive biomass has received attention. However, the complexity of lignocellulosic biomass poses challenges to developing a large-scale production process compe

This paper investigates and quantifies shareholder wealth effects arising through spin-off announcements in Western Europe. Building on existing research the study seeks to add recent results and to further investigate whether the effect of spin-off announcements on shareholder value has altered in current times. In order to find out to what extent abnormal returns around the announcement date for

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

The aim of the thesis is to analyse the current role of management accountants, how it is affected by contextual factors, and how it has changed over time. A quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is conducted. The factors of analysis are identified based on a combination of deductive and inductive approach.
