Purpose: This study aims at researching how the ethical issues raised by big data practices can be used to motivate internal CSR actions based on stakeholder engagement. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative approach based on a participant observation while the authors were doing an Internship in the innovation department at Aller Media A/S. A set of semi-structured interviews with employee

Uppsatsen syftar till att diskutera om miljöbalkens målsättning är miljömässigt godtagbar. Frågeställningen är om innebörden av en hållbar utveckling utifrån den utveckling av begreppet som sker i relation till forskningen om planetära gränsvärden kan sägas vara inom ramen för målsättningen om hållbar utveckling i miljöbalkens portalparagraf. Först presenteras rättsvetarna Kim och Bosselmanns syThe purpose of this essay is to discuss if the objective of the Swedish Environmental Code (EC) is environmentally acceptable. The question asked is if the meaning of a sustainable development according to the development of the concept that is occurring in relation to research about planetary boundaries is within the scope of the objective of sustainable development in the preamble of the EC.

Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using

Syftet med detta projekt är att skapa en modell över en kyltornsuppställning med COMSOL Multiphysics. Experiment utförs på uppställningen för att ge uppgifter om dess beteende. Modellen anpassas mot data genom att uppskatta modellens parametrar. Parametern uppskattningen utförs med hjälp av MATLAB genom att ansluta programmen med LiveLink, COMSOL 5.0 med MATLAB. Värmetransportkoefficienten, hg, beThe aim of this project is to create a model of a Cooling Tower setup using COMSOL Multiphysics. Experiments are performed on the setup in order to provide data of the behaviour. The model is fitted to the data by estimate the models parameters. The parameter estimation is performed with MATLAB by connecting the programs using LiveLink, COMSOL 5.0 with MATLAB. The heat transport coefficient,h_g, i

ERP systems became popular with large organizations in the 1990s. In the 21st Century, these products were expanded by addition of supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as access through the Web, creating the ERP II concept. Efforts to increase the market led vendors to serve not only large organizations, but also focus more on small-to-medium sized ente

High-quality healthcare decisions need to balance input from science and clinical practice. When two sources of evidence — such as scientific and practice-derived evidence — are compared, integrated, or need to stand-in for one another, they need to be comparable on similar dimensions. Since 1891, Swedish physicians have been operating under a legal requirement to base their healthcare decisions oBackgroundHigh-quality healthcare decisions need to balance input from science and clinical practice.

Evolutionary changes in populations of microbes, such as microalgae, cannot be traced using conventional metabarcoding loci as they lack intraspecific resolution. Consequently, selection and competition processes among strains of the same species cannot be resolved without elaborate isolation, culturing, and genotyping efforts. Bamboozle, a new bioinformatic tool introduced here, scans the entire

We presented a study of charge-independent (CI) and charge-dependent (CD) two-particle differential number correlation functions R2 and transverse momentum correlation functions P2 in pp collisions at s=2.76 TeV with the PYTHIA and HERWIG models.Calculations were presented for unidentified hadrons in three pT ranges 0.2 < pT≤ 2.0 GeV/c, 2.0 < pT≤ 5.0 GeV/c, and 5.0 < pT≤ 30.0

Objectives: Risky alcohol use before surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and longer hospital stays. Preoperative alcohol interventions can improve surgical outcomes but are not commonly integrated into routine care. This study sought to better understand patient's and provider's perceptions of alcohol-related surgical health and healthcare practices and illu

The MM500 meta-study aims to establish a knowledge basis of the tumor proteome to serve as a complement to genome and transcriptome studies. Somatic mutations and their effect on the transcriptome have been extensively characterized in melanoma. However, the effects of these genetic changes on the proteomic landscape and the impact on cellular processes in melanoma remain poorly understood. In thi

Backgroundamong the 1–1.5 billion persons with hypertension globally only, 20–30% have controlled blood pressure (BP). The most important problem identified is non-adherence to treatment, i.e., failure to change lifestyle and to take prescribed medication. Knowledge about the reasons for this is limited.ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to explore people's experiences of having hypertension.Desig

This dissertation deals with the educational discourse of the military government in Argentina during the years 1976-1983. In March 1976, the army assumed power through a coup d´état. The intervention was carried out in the name of Order, i. e. to save the country from the crisis in which it was immersed. Through the Proceso de Reorganization Nacional they attempted to restore order and discipline

Due to the increasing interest of producing power from renewable and non-conventional resources, organic Rankine cycles are finding their place in today’s thermal energy mix. The main influencers on the efficiency of an organic Rankine cycle are the working fluid and the expander. Therefore most of the research done up to date turns around the selection of the best performance working media and th

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research centre under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. This new facility is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is expected to be up to 30 times brighter than today's leading facilities and neutron sources. The ESS will enable new opportunities for researchers in the fields of life sciences, energy, environment

Does perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanate (PFOA) exposure disrupt the menstrual cyclicity? The female reproductive system may be sensitive to PFOA exposure, with longer menstrual cycle length at higher exposure. PFOS and PFOA are persistent man-made chemicals. Experimental animal studies suggest they are reproductive toxicants but epidemiological findings are inconsistent. A cros
