Improving teamwork has become a major safety goal for healthcare organizations. Audit tools currently available are useful, but they remain inadequate because they are reactive and fail to provide context for “the interaction between people and the operational context (i.e., organizational, regulatory and environmental factors) within which people discharge their operational duties” (Maurino, 2005

In my thesis work I have explored the relationship between site and building. As the focal point for my studies I have had a, too me, very familiar site in the outskirts of the village of Höör in the centre of Skåne. e site has been the property of my grandfather who took care of the place until he got to old to do it. I spend a lot of time here when visiting my grandparents as a kid. Today my mot

Undersökningen fokuserar på att reda ut privata aktörers förhållanden till Lennart Lundquists ekonomi- och demokrativärde. Ambitionen är inspirerad av Lundquists teoretiska tolkning av privata aktörers värdeförhållande, och varningen som han därefter målar upp för privatiseringen av offentlig förvaltning. Närmare fokuserar studien därför på att reda ut huruvida privata aktörer prioriterar ekonomiv

The consumption of plastic bags is a global problem that leads to increased concentration of plastic in the world oceans. In 2014, annual consumption of plastic carrier bags amounted to around 100 billion in the EU, which corresponds to an average of about 200 bags per person per year, of which many plastic bags are used only once and/or end up as waste in nature. This thesis is a comparative case

There has been plenty of debate on the relation between civil society and democracy. This case study of Poland thus adds to this debate. The research was done through analysing reports from civil society organisations and conducting two interviews with civil society organisations. The conclusion is that although civil society organisations in Poland can have a positive impact on democracy, there a

On 9 December 2015, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) in a move that gave recognition to the work young people are doing to promote peace. In an investigation to critically examine whether UNSCR 2250 recognizes youth agency for peace or whether it may be used to securitize young people, this thesis analyzes the discurs

The aim of this master thesis was to develop and build a prototype of separate hydrofoils compatible with a Europe-dinghy (A common, single sail, one-person dinghy), to be used as a proof of concept. This was to be done without causing any permanent changes to the dinghy’s hull. The consulting firm Essiq AB supported the project. Extensive benchmarking of existing foiling dinghies, already on the

Följande uppsats är en kvalitativ studie vars syfte är att undersöka Tinder och Tinder-användares upplevelser. De övergripande frågorna som önskas besvaras är: Vad händer när människor söker kärleks- och sexpartners via en plattform som Tinder? Hur påverkar detta användarnas intentioner, känslor och förståelse? Mitt tillvägagångssätt har varit en kombination av kvalitativa metoder däribland interv

Uppvärmning i småhus bidrar till olika typ av miljöpåverkan, vilket delvis beror på vilken uppvärmningsform som används. Landskrona Energi AB önskar bygga ut sitt fjärrvärmenät till en ort som heter Asmundtorp, som ligger utanför Landskrona stad. På så vis skulle de kunna avskaffa en gammal panncentral som finns på orten, som drivs på flis och olja, och dessutom få fler fjärrvärmekunder. För att m

Wavelet theory, which shares fundamental concepts with windowed Fourier analysis, introduces the notion of scale in an effort to aid in joint time-frequency analysis. Having century-old roots, much of the essential research on the subject of wavelets was conducted during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite being a rather young toolset, wavelets have shown to be very useful when studying signals with tran

Utifrån den potentiellt utsatta situation som personer med funktionshinder har i relation till de anställda på boende för stöd och service syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka de anställdas förståelse av sitt uppdrag och dess mål, samt undersöka hur de genom sitt narrativ konstruerar LSS-användaren. Intervjupersonernas förståelse av sitt arbete är främst att stödja och hjälpa LSS-användare, men ytt

Baddeleyit är en zirkoniumoxid som normalt sett inte är stabil i kiselmättade miljöer, utan då omvandlas till zirkon. Mitt arbete kommer att handla om ett extremfall då baddeleyit har påträffats i en kvartsit i södra Ghana. Zirkoner med baddeleyitomvandlingar hittas precis vid kontakten till en deformerad granit. Efter att ha undersökt både bergarten och de enskilda zirkonkornen i ljusmikroskop ocBaddeleyit is a zirconium oxide that normally is not found in silica rich environments, because it’s not stabile. It will rather react and form zircon. My paper will deal with an extreme case where the baddeleyit was found in a quartzite I the southernmost part of Ghana. Zircons with baddeleyit inclusions were found right above a contact with a deformed granite. After some studies on the rock and

This thesis was written in collaboration between Faiveley Nordic in Landskrona and the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University. It was set out to find improvements or cost reductions of the overhaul process at Faiveley.

In recent years radical right parties have gained electoral strength across Europe, while the vote share of social democratic parties has declined. Using regional data and two fixed effect models this study investigates the impact of manufacturing employment and a range of other economic and demographic variables on the vote share of these parties in both national and European parliament elections

Potato cultivation is vast for many agricultures in southern Sweden. What many might not be aware of, is how much pesticides which are used in the cultivation process. In "Late blight prediction and analysis"[1] predictions of late-blight attacks was modelled on potato-corps using Elastic Net among other methods. This thesis is an algorithmic complement describing Alternate Direction Met

Denna uppsats handlar om att undersöka och analysera om Sverige skulle kunna stärka skyddet för arbetstagare när det kommer till frågor som rör lön, genom att införa allmängiltigförklarat kollektivavtal. Undersökningen kommer att göras genom att jämföra Sverige och Finlands kollektivavtalssystem, hur de är uppbyggda och vad som är specifikt för respektive land. Länderna i fråga är till synes väldiThis essay is about investigating and analyzing if Sweden could strengthen the protection for workers when it comes to questions relating to employment wages, by introducing extended collective agreements. This will be done by comparing Sweden's and Finland's systems of collective agreements, how they are constructed and what's specific for each country. The countries in question are v
