Research question: How does organizational culture, using complex adaptive systems perspective, influence problem creation process in the front end of innovation? Theoretical perspectives: Front end of innovation literature is the core subject of this thesis,focusing on problem creation process. Academic literature on organizational culture and complex adaptive systems is presented to show the re
I dagens Sverige uppmärksammas bränder som sprider sig genom konstruktionen i byggnader allt mer (Johansson, 2015). Hos räddningstjänsten har det förekommit felbedömningar och kunskapsbrist som har resulterat i stora skador. Ett exempel är en brand i ett bostadshus i Luleå där konstruktionen bestod av trä bakom den tegelfasad som fanns, uppfattningen var att stommen var av betong (Larsson, 2014). The purpose of the study is to draw attention to and further develop the issue of access to blue prints and other information that might ease the operations of the fire department using literature studies and interviews. The method for carrying out the study was with a semi-structured interview method where questions were asked to different respondents, who are working as operational chiefs in fir

Skräp som skräp? Eller? Vad gör det om vi slänger lite fel i soppåsen ibland? Det mesta blandas väl bara och bränns upp ändå? Nej, så är det inte, och särskilt viktigt är det att inte slänga produkter med farliga egenskaper i vanliga soporna. Farligt avfall är produkter och ämnen som kan innebära en risk för miljön eller människors hälsa. Det handlar inte bara om kemikalier som färg och oljor, uAnnually, approximately 11 000 tons of hazardous waste ends up in the residual waste in Sweden, causing economic losses as well as negative environmental- and health impacts. This study examines the extent of incorrect sorting of household hazardous waste (HHW) in six municipalities in southern Sweden.

Varje stjärna vi ser på himlavalvet en stjärnklar natt tillhör vår galax Vintergatan, och var och en har de en historia att berätta. Målet med astronomi, den äldsta grenen av naturvetenskapen, är att förstå hur dessa magnifika strukturer uppstod och formades till den skepnad de antar i dag. Stjärnor bildas ur enorma gasmoln, och vid slutet av sin livstid slungar de ut sina beståndsdelar i galaxen.Metal-poor (MP) stars in the Milky Way (the Galaxy) and its satellite galaxies open a window into the earliest times in the history of the Universe, probing the chemistry of the earliest times. Recent galaxy formation simulations predict that the oldest MP stars are those on tightly bound orbits in the inner regions of a galaxy (Tumlinson 2010). Applying this to the Milky Way, MP stars in the bulg
