Globalization, and fierce competition has been one of the main factors contributing to the increase of 24/7 work availability. 24/7 work availability is defined by the constant reachability of workers, and is regarded to be enhanced by the introduction and democratization of ICT. Arguably, constant work availability has shown to negatively affect individuals’ work-life balance. To contextualize, a

Smärta vid samlag är ett problem allt fler unga kvinnor söker för, och många studier visar på en utbredd problematik. Trots att många unga kvinnor söker för vulvasmärta, saknas fortfarande teoretiska modeller för de psykosociala mekanismerna bakom problematiken. Syftet med denna studie var att få ökad kunskap om agentskap hos unga kvinnor med vulvasmärta. Kvalitativa djupintervjuer gjordes med ått

The analysis of spatial dependence can provide a useful perspective in the complicated analysis of the determinants of innovation in the regional level. Perhaps it is beneficiary to have geographical proximity towards other innovative regions. This study attempts to analyse and describe this patterns for 238 regions in two time periods of analysis (2000-2003 & 2007-2010). Visual analysis and s

Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur mellanchefer i flexibla organisationer upplever sin arbetsroll samt hur de arbetar för att möta de krav som ställs. Studien omfattar mellanchefer i flexibla organisationer, där bemanningsföretag har fått statuera exempel på flexibel organisation. Insamling av empiriskt material har skett via 10 semistrukturerade intervjuer, med t

Public space are open spaces and areas where people in the city move around, get together and play, regardless of background, age, ethnicity, gender and income. This is particularly important in poor neighborhoods where people have no access to places where to socialize. Well designed and planned public spaces are symbols of several important aspects of a city; health, safety, culture and local ec

Examensarbetets titel: Ratingverktygets betydelse för styrningen av plattformsföretag i delningsekonomin Seminariedatum: 27-05-2015 Ämne/kurs: FEKN90, Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet, 30 Högskolepoäng Författare: Cecilia Brahme & Lisen Hentschel Handledare: Jon Bertilsson Nyckelord: Styrning, Tjänster, Delningsekonomin, Plattformsföretag, Rating Syfte: Studiens syfte är att unders

I denna uppsats härleds och testas en ny omviktningsalgoritm med vars hjälp det nativa tillståndet av aminosyresekvenser, bestående av 16 aminosyror, kan förutspås. Algoritmen används till att kartlägga de neutrala näten av α-helixes och β-sheets inom ett kontinuerligt proteinmodell. För att undersöka omviktningsalgoritmens potential för att förutsäga den termodynamiska stabiliteten av olika aminIn this thesis, a new reweighting algorithm for predicting the native conformations of amino acid sequences, consisting of 16 residues in a reduced representation continuous protein model, is derived and tested to map neutral nets of α-helices and β-sheets. For examining the potential of the reweighting algorithm for predicting the thermodynamic stability of amino acid sequences, it is applied to

The main aim of this study is to contribute to the existing gap regarding the combination of green marketing and B2B marketing. Building on this, the focus of this paper is to investigate critically the relevance of sustainability labels for products in industrial markets and to find alternative practices that companies can implemented to build up trust and obtain credibility. The choice of the in

The factors behind the struggle for women’s empowerment in Iran are a combination of social, religio-cultural and traditional constraints. These have been institutionalized through the legal and legislative system, as well as the informal traditional practices in the public and private spheres. The Iranian legislative apparatus which directly and indirectly poses constraints on women’s presence in

Denna uppsats belyser de problembilder som konstrueras i offentliga debatter om Sveriges agerande gällande flyktingar från Syrien, samt vilken effekt detta har på identifierandet av ansvarsinnehav. I fokus för analysen står två interpellationsdebatter, där Sveriges regering kritiseras från olika håll för sin flyktingpolitik. Retoriken i dessa debatter analyseras utifrån två teorier gällande proble

This study uses interviews of planners in the southern Swedish city of Malmoe, to investigate how green space as a climate measure is justifyed and implemented in detailed urban planning. The results suggest that planning of green space is justifyed and influenced mostly by social and aestetic arguments. The climate argument is of lower value, but is rising in importance within the organisation. T

In this thesis top quark decays to a charm quark and a (CP even) Higgs boson are investigated in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) allowing flavour-changing neutral currents. The theory behind 2HDMs is introduced and the specific choice of 2HDM is put to test under theoretical constraints that require the potential in the Lagrangian density of the model to satisfy vacuum stability, tree-lev

This thesis utilizes content analysis and the method of theory triangulation to explore how leisure dancing is connected to other societal tendencies. Its focus is contemporary leisure dancing in Sweden and its connections to history, capitalism and international tendencies. This is managed by juxtaposing the following themes: First, dancing is an integral part of leisure, ritual and festivities.

Since the Twilight series publication and later the Twilight Saga film adaptions, the vampire romance of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen has turned into a worldwide phenomenon. This One-Year Master’s degree thesis will address the way in which the vampire ethics is depicted in the Twilight Saga by the character of Edward Cullen. My purpose is to analyze the vampire character of Edward in accordance w

This study aims to compare the different welfare provisions in the form of parental leave benefits and entitlements, and their effect on FLFP in Sweden and Japan. Evidence of a welfare based glass ceiling in the case of Sweden, and a glass ceiling, based on the lack of family welfare in Japan, is found. However Swedish women’s position on the labor market is stronger, when compared to Japanese wom

Catharism, in southern France, was one of many Christian movements in the thirteenth century that was classified as heretical because it did not conform to current church regulations. The image of the Cathars, given mainly from the Catholic Church's point of view, has been negative and distorted. For many, Catharism is relatively unknown and the aim of this study is to introduce the reader to
