Dagens arbetsplats förändras konstant bland annat genom anställdas nytänkande och nyfikenhet. Arbetsmiljöer där anställda känner sig motiverade, en organisation som anställda identifierar sig med och inte minst en arbetsplats där anställda känner sig respekterade och hörda är nyckelfaktorer bakom en organisations framgång. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan oThe contemporary workplace undergoes constant transformations, driven in part by employees' innovation and curiosity. Work environments where employees feel motivated, an organization that employees identify with, and notably, a workplace where employees feel respected and heard are key factors behind an organization's success. The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether there is a

Lignin är ett ämne som finns i alla växter och bidrar med stabilitet genom och skydd mot an-grepp från bland annat svampar och bakterier. Ämnet produceras i huvudsak som en biprodukt när träd används för att producera pappersmassa genom olika metoder, och omkring 100 miljoner ton lignin produceras varje år. Tack vare att lignin har en speciell struktur, där aromatiska molekyler är sammanlänkade i To decrease the dependency of fossil-based raw materials in society, and with that, the chemical industry, new and sustainable raw materials need to be investigated. Lignin is an abundant aromatic biopolymer, that can be used to produce, e.g. aromatic fine chemicals through depolymerization. In this master’s thesis, different homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts were screened for oxidative depo

Microsoft Word - Summary översatt.doc 1 Summary This thesis begins with a quote from Bertolt Brecht. In an aphorism about Mister Keuner, “What is wise about the wise man is his stance”, Brecht discusses knowledge – not any knowledge, but embodied knowledge, a knowledge which produces a stance, in the Brechtian sense of the word. The quote does a good job of summarizing the discussion about the ac

Abstract The purpose of this study was dual. First, I aimed to examine primary care counsellors’ attitudes towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Socialstyrelsen’s recommendation that CBT should be the main treatment option for depression and anxiety disorders. Second, I aimed to explore the counsellors’ discretion in their daily work and whether these recommendations limit their discreti

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

Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. This has been repeatedly observed by studies using event-related potentials (ERPs), fu

Med kriser och konflikter i Europa ökar intresset för självförsörjning av mat och energi, och viljan att fasa ut fossila bränslen. Skåne, med sina bördiga marker, är bland de regioner i Sverige som har bäst förutsättningar att bidra med både mat och energi från jordbruket. Men medan behovet av råvaror från jordbruket ökar, så förblir tillgången på åkermark begränsad. Konkurrensen om råvaror från jBioenergy derived from agricultural biomass has potential to phase out fossil energy sources while strengthening the bioeconomy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to meet the rising demand for renewable energy sources, it is crucial to understand what motivate farmers to sustainably increasing agricultural feedstock production. Through eight semi-structured interviews, and online

Research links motivation to well-being and personality. There have also been studies regarding the connection between personality and health. In one scientific study, certain personality traits and greater motivation predicted high levels of well-being, but greater motivation also predicted lower well-being when the individual had a high tendency to worry and pessimism. In order to help organisat

I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t

Syfte: Studien syftar till att kartlägga hur erfarna logopeder i konsensus perceptuellt bedömer transkvinnors röster. Ett vidare syfte är kartlägga om logopedernas perceptuella konsensusbedömning av parametern maskulin respektive feminin och parametern röstansträngning korrelerar med transkvinnornas självskattning av samma parametrar. Metod: Undersökningen är en deskriptiv studie som kombinerar kPurpose: The following study attempts to map how experienced speech-language pathologists perceptually evaluate trans women’s voices in consensus. A further purpose is to compare perceptual evaluations of speech-language pathologists (SLP’s), to examine any correlation to trans women’s self-evaluation of the same parameters. Method: This descriptive study entails quantitative as well as qualitat

The regressions use yield spreads as dependent variables, a self-constructed ambitiousness proxy, Average Annual

Background: Change is something all organizations experience, and in the fast-paced business-world that is today, the ability to change needs to be higher than ever. The problem is, individuals hate change, it is in our genes to resist it, which complicates how organizations can navigate the change-landscape. To solve this, new ways to work with change arise every day and the latest trend: change

The current legislative framework regarding criminal record checks in Swedish municipalities can be perceived as lacking and may lead to violations of privacy and exclusions of formerly incarcerated individuals. Criminal record checks can, however, help employers make hiring decisions to ensure safety for elders and children. In light of this dilemma, the aim of this research was to examine the le

This thesis explores the feasibility of integrating a fall detection system into microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees using onboard sensors, with a focus on optimizing machine learning models for real-time operational efficiency within the limited computational capacities of such devices. Initial investigations utilized the public UMAFall dataset to gain insights into fall detection methodol

Morgondagens energisystem står inför stora utmaningar och snabba förändringar både i Sverige och i världen. För att nå ambitiösa klimatmål ses elektrifiering som en viktig lösning på problemen, där Svenska Kraftnät räknar med en nära fördubbling av efterfrågan på el till 2045. Denna ökning, till stor del driven av förnybara energikällor som är svårare att planera och pronosticera, innebär betydandThe energy system of tomorrow faces major challenges and rapid changes both in Sweden and worldwide. To achieve ambitious climate targets, electrification is seen as a key solution, with the Swedish TSO projecting a near doubling of electricity demand by 2045. This increase, driven largely by renewable and intermittent energy sources, poses significant challenges for grid stability. Consequently,
