Today’s work environment is currently undergoing radical changes and although the aware-ness of social collaboration is growing within organizations, they still struggle with the digital transformation and thereby with the integration of Enterprise Social Network (ESN). Our study aims to investigate the role of ESN within the todays’ organizations. Specifically, it intends to build on previous res
Valutakursrisk har historiskt hanterats med negativt korrelerad eller okorrelerade instrument för att minska den totala risken i en portfölj. Som ett resultat av en integrerad värld har sådana instrument blivit allt mer sällsynta. Råvaror såsom guld har påvisat ett negativt samband och mycket av den bakomliggande teorin i uppsatsen är därför starkt relaterad till guldet. Digitala valutor är ett nyExchange rate risk has historically been dealt with through negatively correlated or uncorrelated instruments in order to reduce the overall risk in a portfolio. As a result of an integrated world, such instruments have become increasingly rare. Commodities such as gold have demonstrated a negative relationship, therefore much of the underlying theory in this thesis is strongly related to gold. Di
Urban land-use planning, which is a useful tool for the sustainable development of a city, is a complex decision making process. However, the modern GIS technologies facilitate such complex jobs in two ways – (i) GIS allows to work with large numbr of datasets, (ii) a number of methods, techniques or models could be embeded in GIS for land-use suitability analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AH
In scholarly literature, it is widely acknowledged that ‘the shadow of hierarchy’, hence the threat of disadvantageous Community legislation, is an important con-cept in European social dialogue (ESD), where European social partners – that is organised labour and management – are given the chance to negotiate binding agreements on some aspects of European labour and social policy. While the shadow
The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in
Sweden is striving to fulfill Vision Zero, a road traffic safety project that aims to prevent people from getting killed or seriously injured in traffic. To further improve safety and accessibility of the existing roads, widening of roads can be performed. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and summarize different variants of construction for road widening, using the existing data and exper
Abstract We studied the effects of UV-A radiation and predatory fish on mantle pigmentation of freshwater snails Radix balthica. The results showed that UV radiation and fish chemical cue induce larger ratios of pigmented area on mantle, respectively and when combined. UV radiation and predatory fish chemical cue seem to affect mantle pigmentation independently. The ratios (0~100%) of pigmented ma
It is estimated that approximately 8-10% of yogurt-based products stick to the carton packaging material surface (Hansson, 2011), and therefore consumers cannot pour the entire product out of the package. This is a multi-dimensional problem since product loss is expensive, because all the resources throughout the supply chain are wasted (European Parliament, 2011; FAO, 2012). In addition, the rema
The purpose of this thesis was to explore gender norms, beauty ideals and social practices and the way these become ‘visible’ on the Japanese female body as (re)producing the ideal Japanese femininity and skin color in particular. In order to achieve that, I investigate and identify these norms, the mechanisms that implement them on the body and the attitudes and expression of resistance against t
This thesis evaluates the UNISDR led campaign Making Cities Resilient and specifically investigates how cities are matched within the campaign’s initiative city-to-city learning, which factors that may be conducive for successful partnerships as well as whether the participating cities implements activities in accordance with the rights-based approach. The evaluation is partly based on a literatur
Thesis purpose: The purpose of the present master thesis is to examine if new ideas generated in an organization are able to change its business model, thus leading to business model renewal. For that reason the way an organization can be creative is going to be examined, focusing on the result that the application of an idea had, investigating possible connections between new ideas and the renewa
Local residents are often considered as destination stakeholders and their role assumed to be important in the destination development. However, when it is coming to their direct engagement in Destination Management Organizations (DMO) strategic planning, the question of their actual engagement on practice arises. This research discusses stakeholder theory and its application to the tourism indust
Våld i nära relationer, och då främst mäns våld mot kvinnor, utgör ett erkänt samhällsproblem. En särskilt utsatt grupp är våldsutsatta kvinnor med osäker uppehållsrätt som kommit till Sverige på anknytning till en svensk man. Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence. Their migration status depends on that of their spouse, and they receive only a temporary residence permit. If the relationship is broken, the conditions for the residence permit are no longer present and the woma
The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica
Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. Currently this type of analysis is done manually by trained professionals. It is time consuming and the diagnos
Offentligt anställda har enligt regeringsformen krav på sig att iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet för att upprätthålla allmänhetens förtroende för staten. För att säkerställa att bestämmelserna efterföljs, har lagen om offentlig anställning införlivat regler om bisysslor. Lagstiftningen kompletteras av vidare bestämmelser i de statliga kollektivavtalen. En bisyssla kan omfatta i princip vilket åtagIn order to maintain the public’s trust, the Instrument of Government dictates that all public employees must act objectively and impartial. To ensure compliance with this regulation, the Public Employment Act has incorporated legislation on incidental employment. Incidental employment refers to any employment, assignment or activity that may harm the reputation of the authority. This is further r
The aim of this study is to provide understanding on how the discursive construction of mental health and illness in politics relates to health policy and in turn to inequalities in mental health. Based on Carol Bacchis discourse analytical framework WPR, I analyze policy documents from the Swedish parliament in fall 2022 in order to investigate how mental health and illness is represented in the
The COVID-19 pandemic, a global crisis marked by uncertainty, exacerbated the dissemination of misinformation and conspiracy theories through social media platforms, thereby posing an additional health risk to society. This study employs Carol Bacchi's WPR approach to conduct a discourse analysis focused on vaccine resistance within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to gain valuabl
Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become
In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
