Vissa offentliga verksamheter har börjat implementera öppna intranät i syfte att skapa mer transparens för medborgare. Det finns skilda uppfattningar och åsikter om vilken påverkan ett öppet intranät har på en verksamhet. Dessa uppfattningar och åsikter är däremot varken referentgranskade eller resultat av vetenskapliga studier. Således har vi valt att undersöka hur ett öppet intranät påverkar en

The technology has advanced but the vehicle industry has not evolved at the same pace. Mechanical constructions with a steering wheel are still being used to control the steering of cars. The mechanical construction makes it harder to implement autonomous features, it adds weight and takes up space. It is commonly known that the steering wheel has been along since the early days of the car but is
This thesis focuses on the era of early film, with the aim to address an almost forgotten film language. Three aspects have been taken into account—variable frame rates, suppressed sound and hearing, and projection speeds—to analyze several examples of film to ascertain the techniques used by early filmmakers. I have also applied my findings of the techniques of yesteryear to contemporary films th
Dagens samhälle står inför stora miljöproblem genom klimatförändringar. En stor bidragande faktor är utsläppen av växthusgaser som produktion av energi leder till. IT står för en stor del av världens energikonsumtion. Detta har lett till att teknologier och praxis har utvecklats för att minska IT:s miljöpåverkan, vilket kallas för grön IT. Ett antal studier har gjorts för att kart-lägga utsträckni
Background Low fill rates of goods transportation causes low overall utilization of resources in the logistics sector. The total goods flow is expected to increase and thus CO2-emissions. Rail freight is a low emission alternative to e.g. road haulage. To counter this development, initiatives have been aiming for achieving better efficiencies and promoting rail freight. Information sharing is cons
Betong har under lång tid varit ett av de vanligaste byggnadsmaterialen och används idag i stor utsträckning till framförallt bärande konstruktioner. En bärande konstruktion utsätts för olika typer av påfrestningar och en av de mer problematiska för betong är frostangrepp. Problematiken beror på betongens begränsade draghållfasthet och att vid låga temperaturer fryser vattnet i betongen till is. EConcrete has been one of the most common construction material for a long time and today it is used to a large extent in load-bearing structures. Load-bearing structures are exposed to different types of stresses and one of the most severe is frost damage. The problem with frost damage is due to the low tensile strength of concrete. When the water in concrete freezes at low temperatures the water
In recent years, crowdfunding has emerged as an alternative for entrepreneurs when raising external capital for their ventures. Funders within the crowdfunding context often face information asymmetry issues since it is difficult for them to measure the venture credibility based on the information and financial history presented during a crowdfunding campaign. Therefore, it becomes important for t
There is a consensus within both academia and politics on the important role of cities in achieving a more sustainable world, however, many scholars emphasise that the implementation of sustainable cities is often unsuccessful. The planning process from sustainability visions to actual implementation in an urban context is not straightforward or linear, and discursive struggles influence the proce
Hur människor rör sig genom staden till vardags spelar roll. Inte minst inom stadsplanering har fysisk mobilitet kommit att bli en viktig fråga, då denna sägs ha potential att motverka segregationsprocesser. Trots detta råder det brist på akademisk forskning inom området. Denna uppsats kombinerar ett intresse för hur mobilitet respektive den vita medelklassen påverkar städers socio-spatiala uppdelPeople’s everyday movements across the urban space matter. Indeed, for city planners looking to counter urban segregation processes, the issue of physical mobility is of prime concern as it bears the potential of overcoming ethnic and socio-economic divisions in the city. Yet, there is a lack of academic research matching this interest. In examining the role of mobility and the white middle-class
Inequality of Opportunity has recently emerged in the development agenda. The unequal access to opportunities can reinforce poverty and inequality traps. Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs have consolidated as an important policy tool to fight against poverty. In addition, they have a great potential to equalize opportunities. The relationship between CCT programs and inequality of opportuni
Havet och vattnet symboliserar för mig avkoppling och rekreation, likväl som träning och sport. Att blicka ut över havet eller en vattenspegel får mig att känna ett lugn och välbefinnande. Det här examensarbetet tog sin början då jag ville undersöka ett aktuellt ämne. Jag fick till min kännedom att det flytande badhuset Liljeholmsbadet invid Bergsunds strand på Södermalm i Stockholm hade stängts For me the ocean and water symbolize relaxation and recreation, as well as training and sport. To look out over the ocean or a water mirror makes me feel calm and relaxed. This thesis began with the idea to explore a current topic. I discovered that the floating bath Liljeholmsbadet at Bergsunds strand, Södermalm in Stockholm was in a bad condition and due to that the municipality of Stockholm de
The study of post-translational modification has driven scientist to have a better understanding of protein function, activity and behavior in the metabolism that could later be useful for developing new drugs and treatments targeting key proteins in diseases, like cancer or neuronal disorders. In this project we tried to optimize the Acyl-Biotin Exhange of proteins coming from Chinese Hamster Ova
The sharing economy is currently widely discussed and politically of great importance, especially in urban areas. After a first rise in public interest due to a potential decrease of consumption, engaged actors are now calling for regulation mechanisms to defend the concept against the co-option by large incumbent firms, who transform the original idea into new economic opportunities. The accommod
Den ökade sjukfrånvaron på grund av psykiska besvär har givits allt större uppmärksamhet i samhället, vilket väckte ett intresse av att studera fenomenet ytterligare. Detta genom att se till vilken inverkan psykosociala arbetsmiljöfaktorer kan innebära för effektiviteten och kvaliteten i arbetet. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att, utifrån såväl ett ledar- som medarbetarperspektiv, undersöka de
The academic field of followership is, in relation to leadership, considerably unexplored. Numerous academic subfields and theories have emerged within the school, the most influential being a four frame model developed by Robert E. Kelley. The model divides followers on the two dimensions active and critical thinking, into five categories: Sheep, alienated, pragmatist, yes-people and effective fo
Erosion av vattendrags flodbottnar och intilliggande strandmiljö är ett stort samhällsproblem som förväntas öka i takt med framtida klimatförändringar. Statens geotekniska institut (SGI) har erhållit anslag för att kartlägga större vattendrag i Sverige med hänseende på risken för skred i framtiden till följd av klimatförändringar. Ett vattendrags sårbarhet för erosion kan bedömas utifrån ett indexErosion of river basins and adjacent bank environment is a major environmental problem that is expected to increase in the future due to climate change. The Swedish geotechnical institute (SGI) has been granted funding by the Swedish government for mapping major rivers in Sweden with regard to the risk of landslides due to climate change. A river's vulnerability to erosion can be assessed base
