Organisational learning is assumed to be a part of creating improved work processes in an organisation. This type of learning can be difficult to achieve in operational and reactive work environments. Challenges in observable causality, time constraints and complex external conditions means that the operational control room is one of those reactive work environments. There is a need for a system t

The starting point of this thesis is the managing of user-generated data in the online ecosystem and expanding development of big data.

Dagens krav på läkemedel är höga, de ska t.ex. stanna kvar i kroppen under lång tid, ha lång hållbarhetstid och vara lätt att dosera. Att PEGylera ett läkemedel kan ge dessa egenskaper. Idag är dock denna tillverkningsprocess långsam och ger ett lågt utbyte. Size Exclusion Reaction Chromatography (SERC) är en ny teknik som förhoppningsvis ska förbättra denna process. Protein är idag vanligt förekoThe PEGylation process is a covalent attachment between a protein (the pharmaceutical) and poly ethylene glycol (PEG) and since the beginning in 1977 PEGylation processes have been used to improve pharmaceuticals. PEGylation of a pharmaceutical achieves improved properties like greater solubility in water, longer residence time in vivo and extended shelf life. The PEGylation process is in general

Det som är grunden i Roger Griffins teori om fascism är en ultranationalism som är

Det nordiska centret för genus i militära operationer är ett nordiskt säkerhetssamarbete som startades 2012, på Livgardet i Stockholm. Genus har inte varit en del av den militära diskursen väldigt länge och flera anser att den inte behöver bli det heller. Gendercentret utmanar således den traditionella synen på militären och dess uppgifter. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur GendercentreThe Nordic Center for Gender in Military Operations is a Nordic security cooperation, which started in 2012, at the Lifeguards in Stockholm.

Jag undersöker den demokratiska idéhistorien och dekonstruerar de, för demokratin grundläggande, begreppen.
