Denna uppsats har undersökt huruvida graden av virtuell kommunikation (virtualitet) hos individer i virtuella team har ett samband med arbetstillfredsställelse. En webbaserad enkät skickades ut till ca 800 anställda på ett stort, internationellt företag och innehöll frågor angående hur nöjd man är med sitt arbete, hur mycket av kommunikationen som sker virtuellt samt två kvalitativa frågor med sty
Uppsatsen handlar om svenska bosniska muslimers upplevelser av vardagsrasism och särskilt sådana som kan relateras till islamofobi. Jag har gjort sex kvalitativa intervjuer med personer från Malmö och personer från en mindre stad. Enligt resultatet är inte svenska bosniska muslimer särskilt drabbade av just islamofobi utan mer av annan sorts vardagsrasism som negativa kommentarer eller allmän disk
The present thesis measures to what extent socioeconomic (SES) related child health inequalities exist in Ecuador, how has been its evolution in the last decade and which are the variables determining child health. In order to determine the SES-related child health inequalities a decomposition analysis is carried for the concentration index for two household surveys in 2004 and 2012. Results indic
Green walls have increased in popularity over the last couple of years. The many benefits of green walls have attracted the attention. Benefits such as the fact that they help cleaning the air from damaging particles as well as them help to increase the biodiversity. There are many different variants of green walls. The paper talks over living vertical walls and focuses upon living hydroponic wall
In the today's cold attics are wide problems with mould onset due to the humid climate in the attic. The reason for the mould damage are the thick insulation and absence of the chimney stock that makes the temperature drops in the attic. The mould onset is also due to less ventilation, the attic space is used as a storage room and air leakage through the attic hatch. A solution could be to iso

The task for this thesis was to implement a web interface that represents the chosen data in a graphical diagram. A big part of this thesis was to analyze d
Syftet var att studera hur anställda i riskzonen för stressrelaterad ohälsa upplevde deltagandet i en förebyggande stresshanteringskurs med inriktning mot naturens hälsofrämjande egenskaper. Frågeställningarna gällde kursdeltagarnas upplevelser av hur kursinnehållet påverkat deras stressrelaterade psykiska hälsa, vilken betydelse kursens inriktning mot naturens hälsofrämjande egenskaper haft samt
Callcenterbranschen växer kraftigt och flera forskare har uppmärksammat behovet av att identifiera vad som kännetecknar lämpliga kandidater för arbete på callcenters. Syftet med denna studie var att studera huruvida verbal förmåga, numerisk förmåga och personlighet, utifrån femfaktormodellen, predicerar typisk arbetsprestation hos anställda (N=100) på ett inkommande callcenter. Arbetsprestation opCall centres is a rapidly growing industry and several researchers have recognized the need to identify the characteristics of suitable candidates for work in call centres. The purpose of this study was to study whether verbal ability, numerical ability and personality based on the five factor model, predicts typical job performance of employees (N=100) in an inbound call centre. Job performance w

Människokroppen förändras med ökad ålder. Rörelseapparaten, där skelett, leder och muskulatur ingår, påverkas av ökad ålder och där muskulaturen är mest ansatt. Ett vardagligt moment som att resa sig upp ifrån en stol kan därför bli svårt att utföra för äldre personer med en ökad risk för att falla. Den vanligaste olyckan i hemmet är fall. Var tredje person över 65-års ålder faller minst en gång The human body changes with increasing age. The locomotor system, where skeleton, joints and muscles are included, is affected with increased age where muscles are the most affected. A casual moment as rising from a chair will therefore be difficult to perform for older people and an increased risk of falling increases. The most common accident at home is falling accidents. Every third person ove
The main purpose is to analyse success factors and problems/difficulties in the implementation of Lean within three service sectors, the banking, the healthcare and the airline maintenance sector. The secondary purpose of this thesis is to analyse how Lean is being implemented in the above sectors. A qualitative method of research has been used based upon multiple case studies with Nordea, Braathe
Vår studies syfte är att kartlägga hur könssammansättningen inom opinionsbildningen i FARs branschtidning Balans ser ut samt att utreda huruvida det spelar någon roll för utvecklandet av revisionsbranschen om opinionsbildningen inte är jämställd. Studien utgör till viss del ett komplement till existerande forskning inom genusvetenskapen, men erövrar likaså helt ny mark, eftersom det inte förekomm
Monazit är ett Ree– och Th-bärande fosfatmineral som förekommer i vissa magmatiska och metamorfa bergarter. Mineralet är användbart för datering av den metamorfa utvecklingen och kan bidra till att yt-terligare karaktärisera metamorfosen i en bergart, detta genom att man undersöker zoneringar i kristallerna. Mo-nazit har upptäckts i metasediment i Stensjöstrand och tunnslip har gjorts ifrån proverMonazite is a Th-bearing REE phosphate mineral which is present in some igneous and metamorphic rocks. It is a useful mineral for determination of the metamorphic history and age of its host rock because clues to past mineral reactions can be seen in trace element zoning. Monazite has been found in metasediments in Sten-sjöstrand and thin sections have been made from rock samples to study the mine
The Oxytocin Me! project has proven to be a response to the nowadays increasing focus on high technology. The topic I have chosen is both a health and social matter: stress. In this regard, I have developed a stress relieving product that should challenge people to use their body’s own natural resources. The result is an ergonomic hug cushion that should stimulate the body to produce oxytocin hor
In the past few decades, the central topic of targeting human development through aid has been given more importance by both international organizations, recipient and donor countries. One of the goals of this study is to investigate how the mutual cooperation between the inflow of Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA), on one side, and the implementation of the national socio-economic de
Veikimoräner är cirkulära moräner med ryggar längs kanterna som kan hittas i norra Sverige. Majoriteten är belägna längs en N-S gående kuperat landskap. Moränerna tros ha bildats under tidig-mellan Weichsel och har överlagrats av glaciärer från efterföljande glaciationer. Tack vare att Veikimoränerna har bevaratas i så gott skick kan dessa moräner ge värdefull information om glaciationer och dåvarVeiki moraine is a landform area consisting of rim-ridged subcircular hummocks and plateaus with depressions in between, mostly located within a N-S extending zone of a hummocky landscape. It is believed to have formed during the pre-late Weichselian and survived overriding by ice during the subsequent glaciations. Due to their good preservation, the Veiki moraine provides valuable information on
This thesis analyses the social construction and discursive development of the EU-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) and aims at an improved understanding of the interaction between political language use and social change in EU-China relations. To this end, the thesis undertook a critical discourse analysis, based on Fairclough’s dialectical-relational approach, and analysed how EU-C
When the rest of the world sank deeper into the mire of gold shortage and the Great Depression, China, a country still adhered to the silver standard, maintained a relative independent connection to the global economy. In the initial stage of the Great Depression, Chinese economy under relative inflation benefited from the blessing of the silver standard. However, with international silver prices
When girls in Japan acquired the right to higher education in the wake of the Meiji reformation in the 19th century, these girls began to talk in a way that was considered vulgar by the public. It was called teyo dawa kotoba (teyo dawa speech) – and over time it became what we call female speech today. During the Meiji and Taisho periods proper ladies did not talk that way, and it was considered t
