This study investigates the evolving strategic role of Human Resources (HR) in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. By comparing perspectives of HR-leaders and CEOs, HR’s strategic contribution is explored, as well as the barriers limiting its influence and the priorities needed for driving increased organisational success. A qualitative, comparative approach was
In robotic systems, uncertainty in model parameters, such as joint stiffness, link lengths, or mass distributions, can significantly affect performance and precision. This thesis investigates the quantification and propagation of such uncertainties using the programming language Julia, with a focus on developing a systematic framework for uncertainty-aware modeling and simulation. It leverages the
Klimatförändringarna medför att svenska byggnader i allt högre grad utsätts för värmeböljor och höga inomhustemperaturer under sommaren. Det ökade behovet av kylning, särskilt i välisolerade och energieffektiva byggnader, har lett till att alternativa lösningar för kyla under varmare perioder börjat att efterfrågas. En relativt ny metod som väckt intresse i Sverige är golvkyla. Tekniken använder sClimate change has led to increasing indoor overheating risks in Swedish buildings, prompting demand for efficient cooling solutions. Floor cooling, i.e. using the same hydronic system as underfloor heating to circulate chilled water, is gaining attention as an energy-efficient and easily integrated method. However, its long-term effects, particularly in wooden floor structures, remain unclear. Mo
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
Social workers in Swedish child welfare operate within a context where children’s right to express their views is legally regulated, while professional decision-making often takes place in complex situations involving different perspectives and interests. This study aimed to explore how social workers describe their use of professional discretion in cases where children’s and parents’ wishes do no
Ett problem med parkeringsapplikationer är att användare ofta glömmer att avsluta aktiva parkeringssessioner, vilket leder till överbetalning. Denna uppsats designar och utvärderar automatisk avslutning av parkering på ett sätt som minskar överbetalning samtidigt som användarnas tillit och kontroll bevaras, samt utvärderar resultatet. Projektet resulterade i en testapplikation för iOS med en automA problem with parking applications is that users often forget to end active parking sessions, which leads to overpayment. This thesis designs and implements automatic parking termination in a way that reduces overpayment, while preserving user trust and control, as well as evaluating the results. The project resulted in an iOS test application with an automatic termination feature called AutoStop
Colour clines constitute an interesting topic of study for evolutionary ecologists as they allow for the testing of different hypotheses on the adaptive value of colour variation. One possible explanation for the selective advantage of colouration is crypsis. In Littorina saxatilis from the Rías Baixas (northwest Iberian Peninsula), a temporally stable and spatially recurrent colour cline has been
Den teknologiska kombinationen mellan den verkliga världen och virtuella element kallas för Augmented Reality (AR). AR-tekniken har funnits i decennier men med de senaste årens framgång inom området, ser framtiden lovande ut. Det finns fortfarande en hel del att undersöka när det kommer till hur man interagerar med AR-miljöer ur ett användarcentrerat perspektiv. Målet med detta projekt var att utfThe technological combination between the real world and virtual elements is called Augmented Reality (AR). The AR technology has been existing for decades, but the advancements the past years have been even more promising. There is still a lot to investigate when it comes to how to interact with AR environments through a user-centered perspective. The goal of this project has been to explore how
I en undersökning från 2012 som publicerats av Statskontoret uppgavs det att Sveriges markanvisningssystem hade fått kritik för att vara för oförutsebart och det ifrågasattes om dåvarande system gynnade konkurrens och likabehandling av byggherrar. För att öka transparens och konkurrens samt för att hitta ett verktyg som kan utgöra ett bra stöd för kommunerna, infördes 1 januari 2015 lag (2014:899)This master thesis evaluates the outcome of the Law (2014:899) on guidelines for municipal land use that were adopted in 2015. According to this, all the municipalities who work with the land allocation processes, must adopt guidelines for this process. The law does not regulate in detail and it is therefore open for interpretations. The reason to adopt the law was to increase transparency, predic

Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos
There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search
The present study examines the discussions about alliance policy in the Swedish council of the realm 1680-1683. Taking issue with earlier research that has portrayed the Swedish foreign policy during this period in realist terms, the study instead uses the concepts of friendship, status and sovereignty to give context to the arguments used by the council when discussing alliance partners. Regardin
Few studies have been made on challenges and enablers with implementing Stage-Gate processes in mature organizations. The aim with this thesis, is therefore to fill the gaps in knowledge within implementation of Stage-Gate processes and additionally describe the general challenges and enablers with Stage-Gate processes for R&D and innovation projects. PaperCo, a mature international organizati
When in need to tell stories we often find ourselves using not only our words but also accompanying gestures, as well as pictures. However, what if we were to use only gestures to narrate? Would the stories we tell be clear enough to understand? The thesis investigates the potentials and limitations of pantomime, which consists mostly of gesture, for storytelling. Concretely, through a unique two-
The protection of farmland in property formation relies heavily on one part of the Swedish property formation law, 3 kap. 6 § fastighetsbildningslagen. The overall purpose of this specific law is to secure the national food supply of Sweden but in reality it is only effective regarding the very large agricultural properties which leaves a lot of the actual farmland without protection. As a result
Many systems within the IT infrastructure have a Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuration changes. Some of these systems may expose a Configuration Management interface over a web service but this web service usually only exposes a fraction of the configuration possibilities in a CLI. Thus it would be of great help to investigate how a framework for automated CLI discovery can be developed,
The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of discrimination among disabled journalists. The background of our study is the growing interest within the media industry for newsroom diversity which aims at achieving better representation. Our definition of diversity includes people with disability in conformity with the Swedish discrimination law, which is accepted as standard within th
