In the context of multinational corporations, subsidiaries became increasingly important for the organization as a whole over the last decades. Taking into account gaps found in the literature in the field of subsidiaries, the authors of this thesis aim to understand “how does individual intrapreneurship within a subsidiary impact the role of this subsidiary in an MNC context?”. In order to under

Betong är ett byggnadsmaterial som har funnits och använts i tusentals år, dock i olika former och av olika slag. Idag är betong ett av de mest använda byggnadsmaterialen, inte minst som stommaterial vid uppförande av flerbostadshus och i konstruktioner belägna i hårt utsatta miljöer. Betong består i grunden av cement, ballast och vatten som beroende på sammansättning bildar betong med olika egenConcrete is a building material that has been used for centuries, in different variants and contexts. Today concrete is one of the most used construction materials, mainly as a load- bearing material in buildings such as multi-story buildings and other constructions, as well as constructions in harsh environments. Concrete consists of cement, ballast and water which, depending on the composition,

Läkemedelsmarknaden är uppbyggd runt företag, så kallade originalföretag, som utvecklar nya läkemedel och patenterar dessa. Patent är viktigt eftersom det ger originalföretagen en tidsbegränsad monopolistisk marknadsställning. De har därigenom möjlighet att genom stora marknadsvinster få tillbaka investeringarna som gjorts för att ta fram nya läkemedel. Patent ger också incitament till fortsatt foThe pharmaceutical market is based on companies, called originators, who develop new drugs and patent them. Patents are important since they allow the originators a time-limited monopolistic market position. The originators then have the opportunity to enjoy significant market profits to cover the costs for the development of a new drug. Patents are also an incentive for continued research and dev

The overall aim of the study is to create a greater understanding of how individuals belonging to second-generation immigrants feel that their identity is shaped by living in different cultures at the same time. The purpose includes to understand these individuals' experiences of belonging and sense of identity. Furthermore, the purpose is to create a greater understanding of how their experie

Bakgrund: Långvarig psykisk sjukdom är ett växande problem, främst i form av depression och ångest. Höga krav och hög arbetsbelastning är bidragande orsaker. Det leder i många fall till minskad aktivitet. Meningsfulla aktiviteter bidrar till hälsa och har en rehabiliterande kraft. Vad som är meningsfullt är en subjektiv upplevelse och kan beskrivas I värde och meningsdimensioner. Syfte: är att und

Abstract Authors: Lina Norlin & Caroline Claesson Title: Lending a helping paw – a qualitative interview study on dogs contribution to social work Supervisor: Olof Pavalder Assessor: Nataliya Thell The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of dog-assisted interventions in social work, seen from the practitioners experiences. In addition we wanted to shed light on the method a

Sweden has set a goal to produce 100% renewable electricity in 2040. In order to accomplish this, a transition towards renewable energy (RE) is necessary. However, the development of RE needs to coexist with other interests of the nation, as RE typically occupies large areas of land or off shore water. This has resulted in conflicts, for instance, between offshore wind power development and nation

Abstract Authors: Hilda Andreasson & Maria Geritz Title: A phenomenon – several perspectives. A study concerning professionals’ construction of individuals suffering from co-morbidity in the form of abuse and mental illness. Supervisor: David Hoff Assessor: Anders Östnäs The purpose of this study has been to investigate, through a discourse analytic approach, how professionals construct co

A transition probability is essentially a likelihood of ’something random’ transitioning from one state of being to another. Though, more formally, for all intents and purposes, the ’something random’ is a sequence of random events, which is a stochastic process. There are many stochastic processes that are valuable to understand. Examples can be found in a multitude of topics, from finance to biol

I föreliggande studie utformades en modell utifrån hypotesen att negativa attityder i commit- meddelanden predicerar misslyckande i Open Source-projekt. Denna modell testades kvantitativt med ett bekvämlighetsurval av digitalt förvarade projekt eller så kallad repositories (n = 990) på GitHub. Ett egenutvecklat verktyg i form av en webbapplikation användes till att utvinna samtliga data och ett in

The aim of this study was to examine attitudes towards LGBTQ-people among social work students at Lund University in Sweden. The purpose was specifically to study if the attitudes change during the program and if the social work education has any impact on the attitudes. The data was collected through a digital survey-method which was distributed by email to students of all semesters of the educat

Visste du att våra jordar står för 20% av världens koldioxidutsläpp? För att förhindra global uppvärmning och ödesdigra klimatförändringar måste åtgärder vidtas! Som tur är kan jordarna även fånga koldioxid och omvandla det till markbundet organiskt kol, då agerar de biologiska kolsänkor. Forskningsområdet är nytt och komplext men denna studie ger en översiktlig bild över svenska åkermarkers, skogReducing greenhouse gas emissions from land use, and increasing carbon storage in soils, is an important climate mitigation strategy. I conducted a literature study based on 174 articles to investigate the potential of temperate forest-, agricultural- and pasture land and urban parks to store carbon in soils; identified measures that could increase their storage potential by increasing the rate of

I samband med rekrytering blir potentiella kandidater ofta granskade på sociala medier. Praxisen kallas screening och informationen som framkommer utgör ett underlag för rekryterarens beslut om huruvida en viss kandidat bör gå vidare i rekryteringsprocessen eller inte. Användandet av sociala medier inom urvalsprocessen kan dock kopplas till sex olika markanta utmaningar. Dessa utmaningar gäller in

To keep up with the rapidly increasing global population, a significant increase in production of protein foods is required. The environmental impact of the meat industry, in combination with consumer awareness, calls for this food production to become more sustainable. One solution is development of meat analogues, which are meat-like texturized products based on vegetable proteins. In this proj

The main goal was to improve the longitudinal flying qualities by investigation of low stick forces and pitch-sensitivity of the ultralight aircraft, BW600-RG and to provide design suggestions for improvement. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to estimate stability derivatives and coefficients for calculation of the flying qualities derivate stick force gradient. Flight testing was condu

Some theological schools consider the human conscience to be subordinate as a means to revelation of God’s nature compared to the biblical text. This can lead the reader of these texts to do violence to their own conscience by conforming it to the perceived biblical witness, although the two (the reader’s conscience and the biblical witness) can appear as in stark contrast to one another. A cognit

Ett sätt för företag att legitimera sitt informationssäkerhetsarbete är genom att upprätta ett ledningssystem för informationssäkerhet, även kallat LIS. Genom ett LIS kan ett tydligt värde uppvisas mot kunder och andra intressenter. Ett införande av ett LIS kan däremot påverkas av olika typer av faktorer, exempelvis säkerhetsmedvetenhet, ledningen, kostnad och policys och regelverk. Faktorerna kan
