This thesis investigates how impact assessment can contribute to organisational learning and whether there are ways to enhance it. To answer these questions, the research takes a form of a qualitative case study carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Reach for Change which represents a single case. The research data is drawn from two primary sources of evidence: organisation
Despite the entrenched and acknowledged rational and emotional duality characterizing the organizational nature, much academic research tends to favor both the former aspect and quantitative approaches to study organizational emotionality. As the process of organizing is itself emotional, this lack of problematizations on emotional organizational constructs calls for more qualitative studies that
In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. First of all, we tried to synthesize and prepare an isati
Due to social and environmental crises, the concept of sustainability has grown in importance in our society over the past years. Things are changing, even in the financial industry. From the perspective of investors, the general public, and enterprises, Corporate Social Responsibility and the creation of sustainable value are becoming more and more significant. One of the most cutting-edge tools
Revision är en viktig funktion i samhället och näringsliv för att försäkra den information som företag lämnar ifrån sig. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka begränsningar som föreligger för en revisor i samband med hans eller hennes utövande av revisionsverksamhet. För att kunna redogöra för det har det varit av vikt att också fastställa vad som avses med revisionsverksamhet och vad revisAuditing is an important function in society and businesses. It is important in order to ensure that the information which companies provide to the public is a correct rendering of the company’s economic position. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the limitations that exist for an auditor in connection with his or her exercise of auditing. In order to be able to account for this, it ha
The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. Recent modelling s
The perpetrator inference in the crime scene can be narrowed down in geography using ancestry informative markers (AIMs) to infer ancestry. The commercial kits including AIMs are in high demand in criminal investigations to infer the ancestral geographic origin from the individual’s genotype. However, more than 10,000 SNPs were used to carry out accurate inferences, causing extremely high costs. A
Additiv tillverkning (AM) är vanligtvis relaterat till snabb prototypframställning, även om det nu för tiden blir ett verkligt alternativ för mindre serieproduktioner. Expansionen av denna teknik är direkt relaterad till produktionskostnaderna, men med rätt verktyg i designfasen är det möjligt att även hjälpa utvecklarna av en produkt att välja vilket som är det bästa materialet eller AM-tekniken Additive manufacturing (AM) is commonly related to rapid prototyping, although nowadays it is becoming a real option for small-batch production. The expansion of this technique is directly related with the production costs. However, with the supporting tool in the conceptual phase of design it is possible to guide the product developers at selecting the most appropriate material and AM technology
Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar har ökat de senaste åren. Skolsköterskan möter dagligen elever och har en betydelsefull roll i det hälsofrämjande arbetet med ungdomar. En välfungerande elevhälsa gynnar elever och bidrar till en lyckad skolgång och utveckling. Studiens syfte var att belysa skolsköterskors upplevelse av att arbeta främjande och förebyggande för att motverka psykisk ohälsa hos elever p
Bakgrund: Det är vanligt att barn upplever rädsla i samband med besök i hälso- och sjukvården och vid medicinska procedurer. Upp till 45% av barn i åldern 4–6 år känner svår ångest under vaccinering vilket belyser deras oro av nålar och vården. Erfarenheter i form av rädsla, smärta och oro i och vid sjukvårdsbesök kan ha långsiktiga konsekvenser för barnet och i vissa fall kan det leda till nålfob
In the recent years the world of electronics has faced the fact that Moore's law and Dennard scaling do not describe the progress of performance and integration of integrated circuits anymore. Alongside the costs of reducing the physical dimensions of the transistors another problem that is faced by the current technology is the limited power efficiency and memory bandwidth that results from a
The goal of this article is to propose, through the use of GIS software, an interdisciplinary method to suggest new touristic flows after the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, the aim is to identify those sites of cultural and landscape interest that are little known but with great artistic, cultural, historical and environmental value that could give new vigour to the tourism sector. In the first
The purpose of the Master Thesis is, on one hand, to develop a traction control system, integrating and implementing two controllers in the vehicle, each of them previously designed and tested separately, to test them together to evaluate their performance. On the other hand, to develop accurate and well-performing controllers, the data acquisition needs to be precise so parameters and devices nee
DNA barcodes carry coarse-grained genetic information of DNA sequences taken from a genome. Potential applications include bacteriology, medical diagnosis and taxonomy. However, the current state-of-the-art tools for extracting DNA molecules from cells provide only fragmented pieces of chromosomal DNA. As a consequence, also DNA barcodes are fragmented. This calls for the development of complement
Sweden today is suffering from a housing shortage. Not least among young adults, students in particular. One reason to why the supply of housing is insufficient and unable to meet the demands most likely has to do with the slow construction rate that occured between the years of 2008 and 2012. The slow construction rate combined with an increased demand in proportion to the growing population has
Digital teknik inom beroendevården och användarnas upplevelser av dessa är ett relativt outforskat område och då stigmatisering av substansberoende, i detta fallet alkoholism, utgör ett hinder för individer att både söka hjälp och upprätthålla en nykterhet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken roll det digitala vårdverktyget TripleA fyller i åtta användares liv i relation till deras missb
Myths, religious beliefs, and symbols are crucial components of ethnicity. PKK as a nationalist separatist armed organization- intensively uses them to construct a Kurdish identity which is compatible with its ideology as well as its objectives to mobilize Kurds and to galvanize their support. This thesis seeks to describe how PKK –as a militant organization- has instrumentalised Islamic related t
I uppsatsen studeras de huvudsakliga instrumenten för biologisk mångfald i rättsakterna för EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP). Syftet är att studera hur dessa instrument förhåller sig till de principiella förutsättningar som krävs för att den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskapen ska kunna bevaras. Dessa instrument utvärderas därför utifrån den sjunde av de så kallade Malawiprinciperna.In this thesis the main instruments for sustaining biodiversity in the legal acts of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are studied. The aim is to study how these instruments relate to the basic prerequisites that are needed to protect biodiversity in the arable landscape. The instruments are therefore evaluated based on principle seven of the so-called Malawi Principles. The Malawi Princip
Sweden may be on the verge on making a historical shift in defence policy. The current non-alignment doctrine is under threat after the Russian annexation of Crimea. The two leading parties, the Social Democrats and the Moderate Party, have different opinions whether or not Sweden should join forces with NATO. Therefore the purpose of this thesis is to examine both parties’ arguments in order to e
