Purpose: This master thesis aims at bridging the distinct notions of production and consumption by investigating how well-established consumption frameworks gain significance in the employment world. Therefore, we ask how Gen Y talents experience their jobs as commodities and act as consumers in the workplace as a reaction to this comodification. The purpose of this paper is to gain a general unde
Min uppsats syftar till att behandla en retorisk forskningsfråga inom ett inramat område. Jag kommer att analysera en artikel skriven av Robert L. Scott och jämföra hans tes med en grupp tänkare från antiken med fokus på kunskapsteori.
På grund av det kommunala självstyret och kommunens beskattningsrätt, argumenteras det för att kommuner sinsemellan har blivit platsbundna konkurrenter om icke platsbundna hushåll och företag. Trots den konkurrenssituationen finns det flera exempel som visar på att kommuner samverkar för att skapa attraktivitet och utveckling i sin delregion, vilket inte minst märks i de svenska storstadsregionern
This thesis investigates the effect of Objective-1 regional transfers on the per-capita income growth performance of EU NUTS-3 regions during the budgetary period 2000-2006. To be able to distinguish a causal effect and account for possible endogeneity a quasi-experimental regression-discontinuity design is employed. This strategy relies on the arbitrary set 75%-rule for Objective-1 fund eligibili
Det finns idag omfattande forskning om försörjningskedjans roll för produkttillgängligheten (Aastrup & Kotzab, 2010; Corsten & Gruen, 2003; Grant & Fernie, 2008; Trautrims et al. 2010). Dessvärre är forskningen på butiksnivå och ”de sista 20 metrarna” mindre uppmärksammad. Detta trots konstateranden om butiken som den felande länken, vilket resulterat i att personalens roll inte beakta
How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing
Space exploration is an area of growing international interest and activity. China is an emerging space power, has become increasingly active in space exploration, and has advocated for further international cooperation in various space activities. To identify opportunities for international cooperation proposed frameworks have used technical and policy parameters to locate suitable partners for s
Uppsatsens behandlar den nedre gränsen för uppsåt i svensk rätt, gränsen mellan uppsåt och oaktsamhet. Uppsatsen fokuserar på hur uppsåtets nedre gräns kom att förändras i och med NJA 2004 s. 176 och hur uppsåtets nedre gräns och bevisning kring denna tillämpas i praxis idag. Uppsatsen undersöker också om dagens rättsläge ligger i linje med den som HD förespråkade i NJA 2004 s. 176 och om en ytterThis essay discusses the lower limit of intent, the line between intent and carelessness. The main focus of this essay is how the lower limit of intent changed due to NJA 2004 s. 176. In addition, the essay examines the use of the lower limit of intent and the surrounding evidence in current case law. The essay also examines whether the current legal position is in line with the one that The Supre
Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker upplevelsen av en partners depression och hur denna kompenseras för i relationen. Med hjälp av psykofarmaka eller terapeutisk behandling vårdas många individer med depression i hemmet utan att vara inskrivna på avdelning. Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med individer vars partners lider av måttlig till svår depression. Studien visar att upplevelsen
Våld i nära relationer är ett betydande hälsoproblem och sjuksköterskan kommer i sitt arbete med stor sannolikhet att möta kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer. Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskans möte med kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt baserad på nio artiklar. Analysen av artiklarna resulterade i sex kategorier
Building materials account for a high percentage of the non-land cost of self-help housing. Few studies, however, have examined the use of building materials by self-help builders and the practicalities of producing and distributing the materials in an alternative manner. This paper discusses the nature of construction by self-help in the intermediate-sized Colombian city of Pereira, focusing in p
The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re
The potential to source thermal energy from buried infrastructure such as tunnels and metro stations may offer significant potential to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of heating and cooling, and reduce the costs associated with dedicated drilling for traditional ground-sourced systems. However, this remains a niche approach with few commercial schemes globally, partly due to high initial cost
This article is based on anthropological fieldwork undertaken at two elite universities in Beijing. It addresses the paradoxical situation of the many instances of suicide among Chinese elite university students in Beijing, which constitute a public secret. The pressure of education weighs heavily on the shoulders of China’s only child in each family, known as the generation of little emperors and
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established, evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, treatment outcomes vary widely, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve sufficient improvement. Robust predictors of individual differences in symptom change are currently lacking. Gen
In the transition to a circular economy there is a need to advance the understanding of how consumer acceptance of circular product-service systems (PSS) can be fostered, since the lack thereof inhibits their adoption and diffusion. This study therefore aims to enhance the understanding of circular PSS acceptance by making two main contributions. First, it proposes a framework that provides a stru
Refugees drown, are beaten, and are pushed back at the borders of the states of the Global North. Moral outrage is understandable in the face of such treatment. But does it constitute a good political theory? Can morality supply us with good normative arguments for a political world? In this article, I argue that they cannot. Drawing on political realism, I show why moral arguments for admitting r
