The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how the perception of stress for HR-professionals within staffing- and recruitment, might differentiate when working more or less from home. An additional ambition was to develop an understanding of how the work characteristics, job-demand, control and support, could have an impact on the above association. To examine this, an explorator

Syftet med studien är att bidra med ökad förståelse för orsakerna varför butiker inom den svenska dagligvaruhandeln väljer att implementera snabbkassor eller inte. Från ett företagsperspektiv vill vi därför kvalitativt undersöka vilka för- och nackdelar livsmedelsbutiker ser med snabbkassor samt hur företagen resonerar kring sin målgrupp i beslut om snabbkassor.

How do emotions influence our memory? While emotionally salient memories are typically found to be remembered better and more vividly than mundane events, emotion- memory interactions can also be maladaptive. Though ample research has emphasized the modulatory role of emotion in memory, much remains to be understood about the way in which emotions may modulate neural mechanisms underlying memory p

I takt med den globala uppvärmningen, Covid-19-pandemin och kriget i Ukraina står den svenska nötköttsbranschen inför fler utmaningar än någonsin för att framgångsrikt och långsiktigt arbeta med hållbar utveckling. I studien appliceras Triple Bottom Line vilket inkluderar social, miljövänlig och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Tidigare forskning har en avsaknad kring hur Triple Bottom Line kan appliceras fö

Samhället genomgår ett omfattande paradigmskifte för att bekämpa de utmaningar som är förenade med de antropogena utsläppen av koldioxid (CO2) och andra växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen. Fordonsindustrin som står för en femtedel av de globala utsläppen, varav tre fjärdedelar är kopplade till vägfordon, ser en omvälvande ökning i efterfrågan på icke-fossildrivna fordon så som The societal integration of electric vehicles (EVs) imposes several challenges on the electrical grid, where congestion and overcurrents through related components are of focus for this thesis. Active network management through control systems is one flexible solution to this problem, and in the project Active Network Management for All (ANM4L), a congestion management algorithm utilizing PI contr

In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. First of all, we tried to synthesize and prepare an isati

År 2019 slår svensk media rekord i antal rapporteringar om klimakteriet. Men när det gäller hur klimakteriet ska definieras eller hur länge det pågår, går experternas åsikter isär. Enligt WHO och Socialstyrelsen är klimakteriebesvär en diagnos, som graderas utifrån 11 olika symptom av psykisk och fysisk karaktär. Symptomen är dock ganska vaga och liknar diagnoskriterierna för depression och utmatt

This study investigated whether integrative encoding in an associative inference paradigm (AIP) using naturalisitc narrative videos to present the stimuli, comes at cost of memory specificity by testing source- and details-memory of the presented videos and measuring electroencephalography (EEG). Based on earlier work (e.g. Carpenter et al., 2017), it was expected that integrative encoding in the

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising bio-based chemical that may serve as a green alternative to polyethylene terephthalate as a raw material in manufacturing plastics. A novel method to produce FDCA from the oxidation of 2-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) using resting cells of Gluconobacter oxydans was tested in this project. The different subspecies of G. oxydans including DSM 2

This qualitative study is based on interviews with seven Afghan refugees in Sweden, and the aim is to shed light on their experiences and perspectives regarding their integration journey in Sweden. To clarify, the focus of the study is to gain knowledge on the significant factors and barriers related to the integration process. Thereby it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the integrati

As a result of the global battle against climate change and thereby the new, green EU objectives, the Commission has finally published its revised draft Guidelines on Horizontal co-operation agreements. The Guidelines now include a Chapter dedicated to sustainability agreements. This Thesis aims at clarifying on how environmental aspects can be taken into account in the competition law assessment

This thesis explores the ways in which Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ individuals living in Sweden navigate their sense of belonging. The interview-based approach focuses on the narratives and lived experiences of self-identified Middle Eastern queers and their feelings of attachment in relation to ethnic and queer communities in Sweden as well as Swedish society. The findings show that the sense of belong

Anxiety disorders are some of the most prevalent disorders in modern times and often seriously impact the daily lives of sufferers. Although there is an abundance of research investigating potential links between anxiety and threat response, there is a lack of study into the nuanced relationships between different anxiety types and threat types. In addition, there are considerable limitations to m

One of the first results in classical computability theory was establishing the undecidability of the halting problem. In this thesis we will prove an even stronger version in the internal logic of the effective topos; more precisely in its full subcategory \(Mod(\mathcal{K}_1)\) of modest sets internal to assemblies \(Ass(\mathcal{K}_1)\). We will do this by proving that the diagonal halting set

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i de styrdokument som reglerar utbildningen för nyanlända elever i Sverige och i den autonoma regionen Andalusien i Spanien. Det svenska styrdokumentet utgörs av de allmänna råd som Skolverket publicerade 2016 och det spanska dokumentet är en lagtext som reglerar undervisningen för nyanlända från 2007. Studien är en kompThe aim of this study is to investigate what similarities and differences there are to be found in those policy documents that regulate the education for immigrant students in Sweden and in the autonomous region Andalucia in Spain. The Swedish document consists of “general advices” that are provided by the Department of Education of Sweden from 2016 and the Spanish document is a legal text that re

Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for

Under coronapandemin har Sverige tillämpat en coronahateringsstrategi som bygger på frivillighet och personligt ansvar där tvång inte tillämpas. Myndigheter och experter har haft uppdraget att formulera rekommendationer istället för specifika ingripande åtgärder. Där människor har haft friheten att välja det som dem själva vill följa utav dessa rekommendationer. Rekommendationer under pandemier är
