Feedback möjliggör medvetande om handlingar, egenskaper, beteenden eller liknande som från början kan ha varit omedvetna. Budskap kan tolkas olika av individer vilket kan bero på skillnader i ålder, etnicitet, familjesituation eller erfarenheter. Vid öppna kommunikationsklimat är chanserna större att medarbetare vill försöka att förstå dessa olikheter och medvetandegöra saker hos varandra genom fe
Fossilbaserad elproduktion i Sverige fasas ut allt mer och ersätts med förnybara energikällor. Omställningen till ett mer förnybart energisystem fortgår redan nu eftersom intermittenta förnybara energikällor, såsom vindkraft, driftsätts varje år. Denna omvandling innebär utmaningar för elnätet eftersom tillgång och efterfrågan inte alltid sammanfaller. Flexibilitetsåtgärder kan mildra dessa effekt
What part of the welfare state is to be handled by the non-profit sector? This is something that is recurring in the Swedish political debate and lately there has been special focus on the women shelters. Questions have been raised about whether voluntary staff is competent enough to have responsibility for abused women, but the volunteers own view on the topic is nowhere to be found. Therefore th
This study explored an exemplifying case of the business activities of Donbasi Internally Displaced Persons in order to examine a relationship between entrepreneurs’ necessity motivation and growth orientation. Three main questions were addressed to generate this knowledge: How are displaced entrepreneurs making a living? Why are they doing what they are doing? How do they foresee the future of th
This thesis will examine the increased amount of information made available through modern media, and how this affects the diversity in consumption. The thesis will focus on how diversity in music consumption has evolved over the years. There are two contradicting theories that try to describe the impact modern media could have on consumption, the theory of the Long Tail and the Superstar effect.
This study intends to conclude the theoretical explanation and obtain empirical support for the relationship between M&A and corporate hedge. It applies Logit and Tobit Model to test two null hypotheses about M&A, along with six other proxies that are seen as determinants of corporate hedging activity. The result proves that corporate hedge is affected by mergers and acquisitions. First, M
It’s been known that checking of construction documents has become worse over time. There’s a lot to get done in a very short period of time and many therefore choose to do a sloppy checking or no checking at all. Checking of construction documents is done to ensure quality. Checking include both strength, building technics and technical drawing. External checking was the standard over 20 years ag
Environmental certification for buildings has become more common since the first certification system became available on the market in the 90s. Today there are hundreds of thousands buildings with an environmental certification. More and more companies choose to place their business in a certified building. The problem when companies are in the election of a new facility may be the lack of knowle
Distribution as a concept means that a task (for example, data storage or code execution) is parallelized on multiple computers. It goes hand in hand with the concept of big data – extreme amounts of data that can’t be processed by a single computer. Because of this, the most established tools for distributed parallelization is tools that are designed to handle big data. This thesis explores wheth
This study concerns materials logistics in the construction processes of complex building projects in urban developing areas, where the authors have carried out a case study on the future urban renewal project Oceanpiren, H+. Urban renewable projects can be regarded as a common category in construction, due to increasing urbanization followed by an enhanced demand. This type of project is often re
Sedimentologi och stratigrafi från senaste tidiga ordovicium till och med mellanordovicium i nordvästra Estland har undersökts. Studien omfattar klippsektioner och Testepere stenbrott på Pakrihalvön, samt en vägskärning utanför staden Tabasalu strax väster om Tallinn. De exponerade lagerföljderna representerar en epeirisk karbonatramp med låg relief som utvecklats i det baltoskandiska grundhavet. The sedimentology and stratigraphy of the latest Early Ordovician through Middle Ordovician of northwestern Estonia has been investigated. The study encompasses coastal cliff sections and the Testepere quarry on the Pakri peninsula, as well as a road-cut outside the town of Tabasalu just west of Tallinn. The exposed successions represent a low relief epeiric carbonate ramp developed in the Baltosc
2016 publicerades betänkandet av 2014 års Demokratiutredning, Låt fler forma framtiden!. Demokrati är ett av politikens mest grundläggande begrepp och som sådant både legitimerar det makten, och utgör måttstocken för utövandet av den. Samtidigt präglas demokratin, både som begrepp och praktik, av en mångtydighet. Denna studie tar därför som sitt studieobjekt demokratins begrepp med syftet att utif
Information om p-pillers påverkan på miljön under preventivmedelsrådgivning. Under senare år har det visat sig att de hormoner som finns i våra preventivmedel läcker ut i naturen via avloppsverken och påverkar livet i vattendragen. Det är många kvinnor som vill ha information om denna miljöpåverkan vid preventivmedelsrådgivning men det är väldigt sällan det tas upp under rådgivning visar den senSince findings of intersex roach in the 1990s it has been clear that hormonal contraceptives has an impact on the aquatic environment via leakage from the sewage treatment plants. This study aims to investigate how women in Sweden experience the counselling they receive on contraceptives in regards to their environmental effects. To investigate this a survey was performed and 795 women in all ages
Utsläpp från jordbruk och förbränning av fossila bränslen ökar den atmosfäriska belastningen av reaktivt kväve (N). Kvävenedfall beräknas fortsätta utgöra betydande skada både för miljön och människors hälsa under de kommande decennierna. Övergödning som resultat av kväveläckage är en av de negativa effekterna av nedfallet. Den inträffar när tillförseln av N in i ett ekosystem överstiger upptagninEmissions from agriculture and the combustion of fossil fuels increase the atmospheric load of reactive nitrogen (N). N deposition is projected to continue posing significant harm both for environmental and human health over the upcoming decades. Eutrophication as a result of N leaching is one of the negative effects of heavy deposition. It occurs when the input of N into an ecosystem exceeds its
Since the gang rape of a physiotherapist student in Delhi 2012 the media reporting on sexual violence has increased by 30 percent. Several studies have looked at how media report on sexual violence in India, but very few have looked at the increased news reporting from a critical point of view. This thesis draws upon interview narratives collected in Delhi in February and March 2016 and looks at h
Today, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in women. Early detection of breast cancer relapse presents increased treatment options and better control. Protein biomarkers from plasma are currently measured by state-of-the-art methods like ELISA, which require antibodies with high sensitivity and specificity. Developing such assays is laborious and time consuming. Thus, there
Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects around 20% of all mothers worldwide, and 8-15% of Swedish parents. PPD can harm the parent-infant attachment, which in turn can delay the child’s early development. Aim: To study nursing strategies to promote the family relations and bonding between child and parents when one of them suffers from PPD. Method: A literature review with an integrated
För att snabbare kunna diagnostisera och behandla patienter vill man göra mikroskopering automatisk istället för manuell som den är idag. Vi har utvecklat ett automatiskt system för att analysera bakterier i ett digitalt mikroskop. Att automatisera vården är ett koncept som blir vanligare och vanligare. Även inom laboratorieverksamhet har det anammats. Dock finns det en bit kvar att gå, framföralManual microscopy is a time-consuming and inefficient procedure in microbiology laboratories today. Common analyses in these laboratories are detection and classification of Gram stained bacteria (Rydberg J. personal communication. Feb. 2016). Bacteria that have been Gram stained are either Gram negative or Gram positive. Gram negative bacteria are pink/red and Gram positive bacteria are purple. M
