BACKGROUND: Ecuador is a Spanish speaking country located in northwestern South America with an approximate population of 16 million people. It is considered a developing country. The public healthcare system is divided into three branches and there are also private services available. Musculoskeletal disorders are overly represented in the developing world, especially where poverty and rural livi

Att ta fram metoder för upprening av komponenter är ofta en tidskrävande och kämpig process. Processen kräver först ett flertal experiment med små mängder prov, vilket utförs i småskaliga labb. När sagda småskaliga labb fått kläm på tekniken är det dags att testa den i en större skala. Men om nu komponenten som ska renas är dyr att framställa blir denna process snabbt kostsam. Det är här mjukvaranPreparative chromatography is an important separation technique in downstream processing for several industries. It has the ability to separate two or more component from each other to achieve high purity. Most components that are separated with preparative chromatography are high value components and it is therefore necessary to use small amounts in the development of the process too lower costs.

This study investigates the process of how eight people left competing informal institutions, in the form of gangs, to join substitutive informal institutions, which is more compatible with a democratic society, and in this way became ‘good citizens’. The research question is as follows: How do ex-gang members explain their change in lifestyle, from past involvement in gangs to the subsequent tran

This study explores the analytical and conceptual closures within political economy and degrowth literature. In order to explore these closures, poststructural theories of postcolonial and queer have been used. Derridian deconstruction has been applied to the degrowth literature to illuminate the silences and contradictions present within the texts. A deconstructive reading of the degrowth literat

Relationship marketing is getting more focus from researchers today. The idea of earning the trust and loyalty of customers by engaging in relationships has been put to practice in many retail areas. Retailers and researchers are stressing the importance of establishing relationships with their customers and are in many ways focused on the physical service encounter. Literature often suggests that

Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using

The purpose of this study is to explore identity dynamics in mergers and acquisitions. As Clark, Gioia, Ketchen and Thomas (2010) point out, traditional economic perspectives are often not sufficient in explaining merger outcomes. Extant research on identity largely take a functionalist approach and frequently use quantitative methods, not taking the individual seriously. In contrast, we want to b

The aim of this study was to examine youth entry to the Swedish labor market. Young people´s own experiences of their entry into the labor market were in focus as well as their experiences regarding the importance of social actors through their path. The study was intended to highlight the impeding and enabling factors that a youth can face along their path to the labor market. This has been made

The relationship between employer and employee at the Swedish labor market is statutory in the Codetermination Act (1976:560), which declares that negotiations are to be concluded between the employers and affected trade unions before significant organizational changes are made. However, many organizations alternatively choose to terminate local collaboration agreements intended at increasing part

Over the past 30 years, globalization emerged as a trend and has completely taken over the world we live in now. According to UN data sources, there were 244 million international migrants - 20 of which are forced refugees, living abroad worldwide in 2015. Hypermobility, standardisation od space and distance are the some of the consequences of globalization. Detachment from something familiar, los

The primary aim of this thesis is to analyze and uncover stereotypes concerning Caucasian westerners among Japanese citizens. This is done by looking into recent Japanese cinema in order to analyze how Caucasian westerners are displayed in the movies in which they appear. A semiotic approach as defined by Jonathan Bignell is used in order to gather data from the selected movies, and the findings d

This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an

Att en gärningsperson företagit en kontrollerad handling som lett till en okontrollerad följd är ett av kraven i den svenska straffrätten för att uppfylla rekvisiten för straffansvar i den modell för ansvar för en brottsbeskrivningsenlig gärning, beskriven av straffrättsprofessor Nils Jareborg och som tillämpas i svenska domstolar. Vid en analys av NJA 2012 s. 45 föreföll definitionen av vad somA necessity in the Swedish system for criminal liability is first that the person charged has committed a criminal act and that the criminal act is a result of a “controlled action” that leads to an uncontrolled consecution. This model is described by the professor of criminal law Nils Jareborg and is applied in Swedish courts. When I read the case NJA 2012 s. 45, from the supreme court of Sweden,

New products on the market are likely to be simulated in a computer sometime during the development process. The environment for which the physical model of the product is developed may not always be the optimal for control simulations of the model. To be able to export models from one environment to another a common model definition must be defined. The Functional Mock-up Interface, FMI, provides
