Abstract This paper is a comparative study of the final reports of the Norwegian and Danish power studies performed in 2003. While the Danish study found that democracy is thriving, the conclusion of the Norwegian power study was that democracy is in a crisis. The purpose of this paper is to find explanations to why the studies in two Nordic countries arrived at such different results. Methodolo
In disadvantaged areas of Eastern Sri Lanka, girls tend to be more vulnerable to both voluntary and forced recruitment by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). This thesis focused on how a group of recently released young female ex combatants reintegrated into their community. This was done through a case study of girls in a vocational training program in Eastern Sri Lanka, who had been rel
The aim of this study is to investigate the hotel attributes that affect selection by football fans when travelling away from home to participate in a sport event. Attributes that identified in previous researches were segmented into five major sets and the most common and relevant to the purposes of this study were chosen to form the questionnaire. Questionnaires were distributed through online c
Syfte Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur strategier kring e-banking påverkar tre tillfrågade bankers nuvarande banktjänstemän i deras dagliga arbete, för att vidare bygga på den forskning som har gjorts inom e-banking och komplettera forskningen om anställdas förhållningssätt till fenomenet. Metod Studien utfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi där semi-strukturerade intervjuer via pePurpose The purpose of this study is to explore how e-banking strategies affects three Swedish banks’ employees in their daily work, to further build on the research that has been done within e-banking, and to complete the research on employees’ approach to the phenomenon. Methodology The study was conducted with a qualitative research approach; semi-structured interviews through personal con
A growing world population and rapid urbanization have resulted in larger cities and greater acknowledgement of the importance of sustainability, hence, sustainable cities have started to emerge. In order to cope with all factors affecting sustainability, better mechanisms for decision making in those cities are requested. The purpose of this report is to increase the understanding and fill the ga
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to measure the success of an initiative that migrates customers from one channel to another, in order to improve or upgrade the way of handling customer support between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The strategy for this thesis was to carry out an iterative case study - theory-led by
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to make a contribution, by connecting the transfer of meaning within the context of TV series. The meaning is transferred from the brand to the character in a TV series and then further to the viewer. To look at different role functions that are used in dramaturgy and narrative techniques, we will be able to see how the brand will have a specific role
When installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib
Fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are being used increasingly in lightweight applications where high strength and stiffness is required. One of the main challenges with designing components from such materials is to predict the ultimate strength and behaviour of the structure. Furthermore, due to anisotropic material response and a complex micro structure, various interacting failure mode
Den här studien syftar till att förstå och analysera de erfarenheter av själavård, med fokus på själavårdssamtal som svenska fältpräster bedrivit i Afghanistan under perioden 2002–2014. Vidare diskuterar jag utifrån det själavårdande perspektivet fältprästens övergripande funktion i utlandsstyrkan. I studien utgår jag från olika modeller för själavård vilka Berit Okkenhaug kategoriserat som kerygmThe aim of this study is to understand and analyse, with particular reference to pastoral care, the experiences of pastoral care Swedish army chaplains underwent in Afghanistan in the period 2002–2014. Furthermore, from the perspective of pastoral care I will discuss the role of the army chaplains in the international force. The study is based on three different models of pastoral care, categorise
Denna studie handlar om den rättsliga prövningen av en europeisk arresteringsorder i Sverige och Irland. En arresteringsorder är ett rättsligt avgörande i syfte att begära överlämnande av en person för lagföring eller verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Den utfärdas i ett land och ska utan ingående prövning verkställas i ett annat. Samarbetet kring den europeiska arresteringsordern skilThis study is based on the judicial review of a European arrest warrant in Sweden and Ireland. An arrest warrant is a judicial decision to request the surrender of a person for prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence. It is issued in one country and shall be executed in another without thorough examination. The European arrest warrant differs from the traditional extradition procedure i
The integration of machine learning (ML) into software operations (MLOps) has significantly increased the demand for data to train and test models, making data sharing and reuse essential to mitigate the high costs of data collection and preprocessing. This study aims to advance the understanding of data sharing within an MLOps context by examining the establishment and governance of a data ecosys
Despite shrinking civic space, civil society organisations (CSOs) in Uganda continue to shape pathways toward sustainable and inclusive agricultural transformation. This paper explores why and how CSOs use non-confrontational strategies, particularly advocacy to influence policy and institutional processes regarding agricultural development. It draws on in-depth interviews with CSO actors, includi
This article elaborates on the notion of “decarbonisation by dispossession” in order to shed light on the contradictory character of capital-driven energy transitions. First, we suggest conceptualising “decarbonisation” as a “socio-ecological fix” to intersecting, climate-induced crises of accumulation and hegemony, aimed at saving capital rather than the planet. Second, reflecting on the mineral
The concept of importance of criteria is used as a central element in several decision making contexts, specifically in value aggregation, e.g. as an input to decision support tools. For example, in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision makers are asked to estimate how much more important one criterion is than another. However, it is not clear how people understand aggregation models based
The steel industry is with its high emissions an important sector to transform from fossil-fueled to fossil-free. In recent years, the technology development has accelerated quickly regarding iron ore reduction using hydrogen produced from electrolysis within the EL-DRP-EAF steel production route. However, it is problematic that the energy supply for the majority of the efforts made within the gre
Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse
Ska hyvling ses som omreglering av anställningsvillkoren eller som en omplacering enligt anställningsskyddslagen? Detta kan beskrivas som en process i två steg där omreglering och omplacering egentligen inte bör jämföras då de har olika rättsliga utgångar. Det är främst en avtalsrättslig fråga men som är av stor betydelse i ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv där det finns en komplexitet i hur omreglerPlaning the employment can partly be seen as re-regulation of the employment terms or as a relocation according to the Employment Protection Act. It is primarily a contractual issue but which is of great importance in a labor law perspective where there is a complexity in how the re-regulation should actually be handled where legal cases and doctrine may provide guidance. The redeployment in the E
