The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th
Climate change is a fact, new innovations and solutions need to be applied to mitigate the effects around the world. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, one of them being carbon dioxide. There are many attempts to make a turn-around regarding the use of fossil fuels and one of them is wind power. However, due to extreme loads their service life is ju
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka kundresan på andrahandsmarknaden, där utbudet på hyllan i förväg är oklart för konsumenten. Var börjar den, hur går den till och vad händer efter ett köp av ett plagg - det ska denna studie undersöka. Frågeställning: Vad motiverar konsumenter att välja second-hand vid köp av klädesplagg? Metoden: Forskningen är baserad på en kvalitativ studie med Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the customer journey in the secondary market, where the supply on the shelf is unclear to the consumer in advance. Where does it start, how does it happen and what happens after a garment is purchased - this study will examine that. Thesis question: What motivates consumers to choose second-hand when buying clothing? Methodology: The research
Unlike in the past, the path to adulthood has become more complex and varied for young people today than ever before. Twenty-somethings must be ready to adapt to the challenges and difficulties of this period. Over the last decade, with the development of the digital age, smartphones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, especially for young people. In China, the use of smartpho
One of the most promising alternatives to reduce global CO2 emissions is the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels in the transportation sector. Production of biofuels from energy crops or residues arises as an answer, but the technology is still costly to be implemented at commercial scale. This project proposes reducing bioethanol production costs by using animal bedding as feedstock. The main
Diasporas of second-generation migrants are a growing phenomenon globally, and could be one of today’s most important, yet one of the less prioritized fields of research within migration studies. Through investigating what factors that facilitate and/or hinder the integration process of Afghans in Iran, divided into social, economic and political structures of society, this study fills an empirica
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a blind spot detection system for increased safety and comfort for a biker. The solution is based on power-efficient small A111 radars, developed by Acconeer AB, which have a range up to seven meters while consuming only a few milliwatts. Sensor evaluation is performed for the intended use and from this, concepts are generated. These are tested to obtain t
This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an
Recent developments in opto-optical modulation technique calls for improved temporal control of light modulation processes of coherent XUV light. This thesis project evaluates an experimental method aimed at achieving redirection and amplitude modulation of XUV-light, by using precise determination of decay times in states of noble gases that are deemed suitable for opto-optical control. It is pos
Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run
During the 21st century, public diplomacy and branding received a new angle and application closely related with the meaning of securitization. Even though the importance of this meaning, researchers nowadays notice a research gap considering the three above-mentioned fields. NATO, as a popular security brand, represents an under-researched sui generis organization that gets involved with securiti
The aim of this study was to examine how the Swedish Court takes the will of the child in consideration, regarding legal decisions during custody disputes. Eight documented rulings have been reviewed from 2019 and 2020. A thematic content analysis has been made on eight of the rulings. The purpose of the analysis was to interpret the ruling decision process in the light of Convention on the rights
There are several examples of studies that cover rebel-to-party transformations, yet most only focus on the issue in the context of negotiated peace agreements. This thesis aims to apply theories of insurgency studies combined with strategic analysis of war termination in a comparative case study, to see under what circumstances voluntary rebel-to-party transformation may occur. The cases were sel
Bakgrund: Användning av olika handelskanaler vid köp av ett klädesplagg har ökat de senaste åren. Företag anpassar sig mer efter konsumenters växande behov av tillgänglighet och flexibilitet. Köpprocessen, från behovsupptäckt till köpbeslut, utförs bland annat i fysisk butik, online på bärbara och stationära datorer eller via mobila enheter. Konsumenter har numera blivit vana att oberoende av kont
Aims: Information on standards including structure- and process-based metrics and how exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) is delivered in relation to guidelines is lacking. The aims of the study were to evaluate standards and adherence to guidelines at Swedish CR centers and to conduct a cost analysis of the physiotherapy-related activities of EBCR. Methods and Results: EBCR standards at
Gene amplification is a crucial process in cancer development, leading to the overexpression of oncogenes. It manifests cytogenetically as extrachromosomal double minutes (dmin), homogeneously staining regions (hsr), or ring chromosomes (r). This study investigates the prevalence and distribution of these amplification markers in a survey of 80 131 neoplasms spanning hematologic disorders, and ben
Merparten studier som har undersökt hur nattjour påverkar prestation, hälsa och säkerhet, har genomförts i USA där det är vanligt med mycket långa arbetsveckor och arbetspass. Aktuell studie avsåg undersöka effekter av nattjour beträffande kognitiv funktion, riskutsatthet och belastning, under förhållanden representativa för svensk sjukvårdsorganisation. I studien deltog 30 läkare i södra Sverige,Most studies examining how on call duty nighttime affects performance, health and safety, were conducted in the United States where long working weeks and shifts are common. The current study examined the effects of on call duty nighttime on physician´s performance and strain under conditions representative for Swedish healthcare organization. The study enrolled 30 physicians from southern Sweden,
Problem: Scania Commercial Vehicles (Scania CV) initiated the project, as a result of a vision regarding future preventive maintenance (PM) programmes. This vision and its core concepts will impose great changes to the way PM for heavy trucks are viewed upon at Scania CV. Within this vision many questions have risen, one of which is: How does one measure the performance of a preventive maintenance
