Business Intelligence (BI) users have started to demand more flexible products, which has forced the BI field to move towards self-service. Flexible products do however imply new challenges for designers, in order to facilitate such design. Thus, BI designers must be capable of understanding organizations better and what decision makers need, and thereafter frame appropriate solutions for them. Th

Human right is an area of law under constant development. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse whether there is a conflict between the EU’s presumption of liability of parental companies owing 100 percent of its subsidiary and the company’s human rights to a fair trial under the European Convention of Human Rights Article 6. Both bodies of law are involved when considering a conflict between

The aim of this study was to explore how first line managers in municipal elderly care describes the personnel situation when it comes to sick leave and staff turnover, and how first line managers work to create well-being among employees in the workplace. To collect data, seven qualitative interviews were made with first line managers who worked within municipal elderly care. The analysis of the

Ökad risk för konflikter mellan naturvård och friluftsliv i skyddad natur ställer höga krav på en effektiv naturförvaltning, inte minst i Söderåsens nationalpark. Besöksantalet i Söderåsens nationalpark har ökat markant på sistone, vilket vittnar om en stadig uppgång för naturturismen och en växande friluftsrörelse. Nationalparken har höga naturvärden och är en populär tillflyktsort bland såväl

Trots att betydelsen och vikten av att kunskap om hbtq-frågor för psykologisk praktik och psykoterapeutiskt behandlingsarbete länge påvisats, finns det knapphändigt med forskning ur behandlarperspektiv rörande vad den kunskapen består av och hur den omsätts i psykoterapeutisk behandlingspraktik. Denna studie undersökte hur ett antal svenska behandlare med självdefinierad specifik kunskap om hbtq-pAlthough the importance of having knowledge of LGBTQ-issues for psychological practice and psychotherapeutic treatment has long been demonstrated, there is scarcely any research from the practitioner perspective regarding what that knowledge consists of and how it is translated into psychotherapeutic treatment practice. This study investigated how a number of Swedish therapists with self-defined s

In this study, I have researched how a teacher at an upper secondary school in Sweden teaches critical theory to her students. The questions that were the base for this study included: how the teacher taught critical theory to her students and which theories they use, as well as how they use it and if the teacher includes critical theory when she plans her lessons. There are a lot of previous rese

The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the impact of credit ratings on European firms’ capital structure decisions based on the premise of Darren Kisgen’s Credit Ratings–Capital Structure (CR-CS) hypothesis: that firms face discrete costs (benefits) associated with differences in credit rating levels. This project's empirical investigations are based on historical data from Stand

This thesis examines Swedish relation to the EU’s 2020 goal in terms of energy efficiency and renewable resources. In 2010 EU came up with a new unified goal for all member states. One of the five targets concerns environment: until 2020 every member state should increase its energy efficiency with 20%; the total amount of energy production came from renewable resources should be 20% as well. Swed

PFAS är en grupp kemikalier med olika toxiska egenskaper och som har spridat sig idag överallt i naturen. Gruppen är vanligt förekommande inom olika konsumentprodukter som slutligen hamnar på deponier i form av avfall och kan där ifrån släppas ut via lakvatten. För att förhindra utsläpp och minska spridningsrisken av PFAS från deponier så är det viktigt att undersöka och anlägga fungerande sanerinPFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. This thesis focuses on two components, first a literature study w

Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat en ökning av stressrelaterade symtom hos svenska skolungdomar. Ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv finns det vinster i riktade insatser till denna grupp, inte minst för gymnasieelever som står nära inträde till arbetsmarknaden. Ett begrepp som har uppmärksammats i relation till långvarig stress är utmattningssyndrom. Ett liknande symtomkluster som beskrivs i konstruktetStress-related symptoms are increasing amongst Swedish youth. Long-term stress can give rise to clusters of symptoms, as illustrated by the constructs exhaustion disorderand mental fatigue. This study explored these clusters with self-assessment forms Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS) and Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS) in a non-clinical high school population to find out whether the forms mi

According to estimates advanced by the United Nations, the annual SDG funding gap amounts to $2.5 trillion. The covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the underlying issues as the global recession led to an unprecedented rise in public debts and economic distress triggered by defaults, capital flights and fiscal austerity. In light of these challenges, the Global Investors for Sustainable Developme

The Philippines is one of the most affected countries by climate change. Income levels do not say much about its national wealth as it leaves out depreciation and excludes other necessary types of capital but are still mainly used to report a country’s economic standing regardless of its sustainability. This study uses Genuine Savings (GS) as an indicator of sustainable development and offers thre

Exploring a prolonged life cycle of materials through an adaptive transformation Take, make and waste. Our society is trapped in a linear economic system where we extract raw materials, process them into products and as they have served their purpose they are reduced to waste. This unsustainable mentality seeps through to all things consumable, from fashion and cellphones to kitchen counters and

Trots att cancerforskningen går framåt och att nya behandlingsmetoder ständigt utvecklas finns det fortfarande cancerformer med dålig prognos, som till exempel avancerad urinblåsecancer. Immunterapi, behandling som stärker kroppens eget immunförsvar, har visat sig kunna leda till kraftigt ökad överlevnad men bara en liten andel av alla patienter svarar på behandlingen. Finns det andra sätt att stäThe development of immunotherapeutic drugs has revolutionized cancer treatment and highlighted the immune system’s key role in combating cancer. Although immunotherapy has shown remarkable clinical benefits, treatment efficacy varies and low response rates are reported in several cancer types, including bladder cancer (BC). Although approved immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated lo

A sediment record obtained from a small lake in Warming Land, northern Greenland was subjected to biostratigraphic and geochemical analyses to investigate environmental and climatic changes during the last c. 2300 years. Macrofossil analysis, encompassing both vegetation and fauna, was applied to assess the ecological dynamics of the lake and its catchment. Geochemical proxies in the form of total

Safety practitioners in high-risk organizations face many challenges in an ever changing safety environment. How do they keep up with these day-to-day challenges? This study explored the possibilities for a safety strategy to contribute to the Safety of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Nineteen depth interviews and one a focus group comprising of thirteen participants were held. The participants w

I Socialstyrelsens rapport ”Vårdnadsöverflyttning i samband med våld i familjen” som publicerades 2013 framkom att det i många fall tog lång tid för vårdnaden att flyttas från en förälder som dödat den andra föräldern. Detta föranledde regeringen att utreda möjliga lösningar för att vårdnadsöverflyttningen i sådana fall skulle kunna göras snabbare, och resulterade i införandet av 6 kap 10 d § föräThe National Board of Health and Welfare presented a report in 2013 regarding custody transfers relating to violence in the family. The report showed that it took a long time for a custody transfer to occur in cases when a parent had killed the other parent. This led the government to investigate possible solutions to make such custody transfers happen faster, which resulted in chapter 6 section 1

In the competitive landscape of the modern business world, human capital stands as the cornerstone of organizational success. Retaining talented employees, particularly within Generation Z due to their high demands and aspirations, poses a great chal-lenge for organizations. This study investigates the impact of employer branding strategies on the employment intentions for retention of Generation

2013 presenterade OECD tillsammans med G20-länders ett åtgärdsprogram för att ta sig an och komma till rätta med urholkningen av skattebasen och otillbörliga vinstförflyttningar som var möjliga till följd av att de internationella skattereglerna var utdaterade. Åtgärdsprogrammet innehåller bland annat regleringar avsedda att motverka skatteflykt bland multinationella koncerner. Europeiska unionen In 2013, the OECD, in collaboration with G20 countries, introduced an action plan to address and tackle the erosion of the tax base and undue profit shifting made possible due to outdated international tax rules. The program includes regulations aimed at combating tax evasion among multinational corporations. The European Union has adopted Directive (EU) 2022/2523, which Sweden, as a member of the

Wrist fractures are a prevalent injury in Sweden. While most patients recover within a year, approximately 5000 patients a year experience significant long-term pain and impaired wrist function. Current rehabilitation methods lack the capacity to objectively measure post-fracture wrist function. Proprioception, the awareness of the body in space, is crucial for wrist function but remains challengi
