Social media (SM) use in crisis and disaster management (CDM) is resource-intensive and can overwhelm emergency management authorities (EMAs). Digital voluntarism offers SM capacities for EMAs. A significant approach to reap benefits from digital voluntarism for domestic CDM is introducing Virtual Operations Support Teams (VOSTs). While VOSTs have been proven valuable in increasing capacities, the

While trade policies have been found to promote peace and international cooperation, they are also used in conflicts to punish or coerce the actions and behavior of one’s trading partners. In a globalized world characterized by interconnectivity and complex supply and value chains, their impact and relevance in political conflicts have become even more apparent. Such contemporary developments are

Penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism är ett globalt problem, och varje år slussas enorma summor genom det finansiella systemet. En rad åtgärder, främst genom mellanstatligt samarbete, har vidtagits i syfte att motverka brottsligheten. Samarbetet har utmynnat i ett EU-direktiv som för svenskt vidkommande genomförts genom lag om åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism (2017:630Money laundering and terrorist financing is a global issue, and each year tremendous sums of money are being channeled through the financial system. Several measures, primarily through interstate cooperation, have been taken to prevent and obstruct money laundering. The cooperation has led to an EU directive, which for Sweden has been implemented through law on measures against money laundering an

Purpose: To explore the positioning of tobacco-free snus as a new category in the disruption of the market. Theory: Positioning, Disruption, Blue Ocean Strategy, New Category Creation Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative and exploratory research method. Primary data on the positioning of tobacco-free snus as a disruptive new category in the market was gathered through two semi-structured int

Syftet med detta arbete var att testa hypotesen att zinkoxid tillsammans med en polymer (en stor molekyl bestående utav många upprepade, mindre molekyler) av pyrrol på silkesfiber kan verka katalytiskt, det vill säga sänka aktiveringsenergin för en viss eller vissa reaktioner utan att själv konsumeras. Med andra ord så var målet att producera hybridsilkesfiber som är katalytiska utan ljus. Silke äIn this report, we wish to test the hypothesis that zinc oxide (ZnO), usually only catalytic in the presence of light, can become catalytic when combined with polypyrrole and silk fiber in the absence of light. To template the synthesis of zinc oxide (sonication) and polypyrrole (oxidative polymerisation), we used four different silk fibers (Mulberry, Eri, Muga, and Tasar silks). We assessed the i

Along with the down-scaling of CMOS technology, ageing has become one of the most important reliability challenges in CMOS devices. Ageing is defined as degradation in certain device characteristics such as delay, which can result in failure. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are typically the first among the CMOS devices to adopt the latest technology. It is, therefore, crucial to tackle age

Albania is a country situated in the western Balkan peninsula, it is a parliamentary democracy and a transitional economy. Its population is approximately 3.5 million with 870.00 populating its capital Tirana.1 The Mediterranean country underwent its most difficult times during the communist regime, where the dictator Enver Hoxha ruled the country with an iron fist for 40 years. His policies exerc

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh was full of natural resources like water, river, forest, agriculture, land. Various agencies like government and non-government (local, national, and international) have undertaken and implemented development programs in the CHT at different times encompassing those natural resources to develop the CHT economy and contribute to the overall economic

Barnhälsovårdens mål är att verka för alla barns hälsa. Forskning visar en positiv korrelation mellan amningsduration och hälsovinster för både moder och barn och Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) rekommenderar delamning i minst två år. Studier visar dock att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal saknar kunskap och har dömande attityder gentemot kvinnor som ammar bortom spädbarnstiden och statistik pekar mot

For the purpose of gaining experience in the field of production design this project involved developing the production design of a self written short film of the fantasy genre. To reach the results, the three step production design process was used which includes concept art, planning and fabrication. The project started with writing a story that included elements of different categories

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa bland unga ökar och elevhälsan spelar en viktig roll i arbetet med de ungdomar som mår dåligt. För att på bästa sätt ge stöd åt unga med psykisk ohälsa krävs att skolans professioner samverkar. Syfte: Att belysa tvärprofessionell samverkan kring elever med psykisk ohälsa på högstadieoch gymnasieskolor ur ett skolsköterskeperspektiv. Metod: Datainsamlingen skedde genom tio

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the effects of both marketization and the corona pandemic on elderly care work in Swedish nursing homes. The study analyses stories, lived experiences and emotions of eight care workers by conducting qualitative semi-structured interviews. Further, I shed light on how these care workers see, feel and handle care users’ needs and organizational challenges in the
