This thesis illustrates a method of analysing the risk management of an enterprise in its management system from a systems perspective. The method implies, by means of a model of the value chain of an enterprise, connecting the external and internal demands for risk management with the business processes of the enterprise. This is done with a view of pointing out defects in the internal demands in

The research explores the protections provided for migrant domestic workers who are highly undervalued and often exposed to trafficking, despite comprising an integral part of the labour force worldwide. Saudi Arabia is a focus destination country for the study, as it emerged from among the top destination countries absorbing 61 percent of recorded Ethiopian migrant domestic workers. Despite such

Njurarna har en renande funktion i kroppen. De ser till att blodet är fritt från olika ämnen och att kroppen gör sig av med restprodukter. Dessutom produc- erar binjurarna hormoner och reglerar blodtrycket. Detta är bara några av de många egenskaper som njurarna har. Eftersom njurarna har en viktig roll i många processer i kroppen kan en nedsatt njurfunktion ha flera olika typer av symptom som tröAim: Renography with 99mTc-MAG3 is one of the most common nuclear medicine examinations. It’s extensive use justifies a thorough investigation of the methods used to accurately determine the split renal function, for instance with regard to background subtraction and correction for renal depth differ- ences. Previous studies on this subject have been made, mainly on patient image data, thus the ”t

The importance of formal education systems in relation to environmental and social problems has been increasingly emphasised in international agreements and conferences. Despite this fact, the process of implementation in schools is slow. One important aspect of Education for Sustainability (EFS) is the connection between schools and their local environment. This implies that the schools can expe

This thesis describes the development process of an additive dosage system for a fuel dispenser. The level of additive concentration is low (<1000 ppm) and three predefined concentration levels are selectable for each filling. A device to visualize the additive dosing, when chosen, was also required. These prerequisites influenced the decision to design a separate additive system for pumping, mete

We present a novel method for the determination of density and compressibility of individual particles and cells undergoing microchannel acoustophoresis in an arbitrary 2D acoustic field. Our method is a critical advancement within acoustophoretic separation of biological cells, as the ability to determine the density and compressibility of individual cells enables the prediction and alteration of

The attractiveness of cycling-and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclists in the selection of the smartest route to follow

Background: Bariatric surgery is a standard treatment for severe obesity, but little is known about patients’ perceptions about the long-term impact of such surgery. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of living with a bariatric procedure for more than a decade. Setting: University hospital. Methods: At the 10-year follow-up after undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypa

Understanding the microclimate in a given site influences the preconditions of sustainable development in many ways. Cold and strong winds in the winter will, for example, intensify the energy use in buildings depending on the air tightness of the building enclosure (Bagge et al., 2011), and in areas close to the seafront strong salty winds may also increase the wear and tear on building materials

The goals of this essay are to identify rituals and ritual behavior at the department of archaeology and ancient history at Lund University. To do this a series of empirical examinations was conducted. Observations, interviews and polls revealed that some ritual behavior is in fact present. Two types of rituals were identified; the interaction ritual, as presented by Erving Goffman in the book Int

Ett allt mer vanligt förekommande fenomen är att företag i samband med nyemissioner anlitar företag eller privatpersoner som garanter. Om inte alla nyemitterade aktier tecknas av nuvarande aktieägare eller andra investerare och emissionen följaktligen riskerar att inte bli fulltecknad förpliktigar avtalet med garanten denne att teckna de resterande aktierna. Många garanter kräver i utbyte höga ers

En kvalitativ studie på revisionsutskott i svenska bolag. Teoretiska perspektiv har utgått från forskning och regelverk inom området samt reglerings- och förtroendelitteratur. Uppsatsens slutsatser är att dagens svenska revisionsutskott fungerar väl och att de brister som påfunnits i början av 2000-talet har rättats till. Revisionsutskotten har fått en mer formell utformning på bekostnad av den sv

Syfte: Denna uppsats syftar till att se om den svenska koden för bolagsstyrning har levt upp till sitt ursprungliga syfte, att förbättra bolagsstyrningen samt att öka förtroendet. På så sätt ska vi avgöra vilken betydelse sådan här reglering har för styrning av svenska bolag och förtroendet för dessa. Vi har även för avsikt att se om och i så fall hur inställningen till koden har förändrats efter

Cities have a crucial importance from the sustainability point of view. More than 50% of the global population lives in cities, therefore urban dwellers’ environmental knowledge can be of critical importance. Many argue that an important part of environmental knowledge is acquired outside of a formal school setting, therefore in this thesis I explore learning processes connected to community garde

The aim of the study is to research upper secondary teachers’ attitudes towards, and use of, critical perspectives in teaching literature in the subject of English in Sweden. This is done in relation to the inequality issues identified in the Swedish school context, the Swedish National Curriculum for the Upper Secondary School and the syllabi for English, along with a theoretical framework based

Under de senaste två decennierna har sexualbrottslagstiftningen, som återfinns i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, genomgått flera omfattande reformer. Flera av dessa har syftat till att skärpa straffansvaret vid sexualbrott på distans. Vid genomförda reformer har lagstiftarens syfte alltjämt varit att skifta fokus från de sexuella handlingarnas tekniska karaktär till kränkningen som sådan vid avgränsOver the past two decades, the legislation on sexual offences, which is found in Chapter 6 of the Swedish Criminal Code, has undergone several extensive reforms. Several of these have aimed to increase criminal liability for remote sexual offences. Throughout these reforms, the legislator’s intent has consistently been to shift the focus from the technical nature of the sexual acts to the violatio
