The record has been kept at and used by Polisen Södertörns victim group, and holds subjective comments about both the women and their related. The record has been established and used during the ye

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet visselblåsare utifrån ett intressentperspektiv. Yttrandefriheten är grunden för visselblåsare men den skapar ibland svåra intresseavvägningar. Rätten i sig ger även exempel på olika intresseavvägningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att synliggöra vilka intressen som ligger till grund för hur gällande rätt har utformats avseende visselblåsare. Vidare är syftet att jämföra vilkaThe subject for this essay is Whistleblower from a stakeholder perspective. Freedom of expression is the foundation of the Whistleblowers. But sometimes it creates difficulties when balancing different interests (for instance duty of loyalty). The law also gives examples of the balancing of different interests. The purpose of this essay is to highlight the interests which are the basis for how the

Mikrotexturer är mikrometerstora avtryck på kvartskornens ytor samt på korn med andra mineralogiska egenskaper. Kvartskorn, som förekommer i de flesta sedimentära miljöer, innehåller mikrotexturer som undersöks särskilt på grund av kvartsmineralets unika mineralogiska egenskaper som möjliggör bevarandet av mikrotexturer genom olika miljöer. I denna studien är mikrotexturer en viktig källa för att Microtextures are micrometer-sized imprints on the surfaces of quartz grains and on grains with other mineralogical compositions. Quartz grains, which occur in most sedimentary environments, contain microtextures which are especially studied due to quartz unique mineralogical properties allowing for preservation of microtex-tures through different environments. In this study, microtextures are an

The present quantitative research focuses on studying the effect of uncertainty in online information search related mainly to travel planning. The main emphasis is in the individual and combined effect of these variables towards different demographic segments of international travelers. In order to do so it draws insights from Uncertainty avoidance (Hofstede, 2001) and information foraging theory

We study the predictability of sentiment on stock return of the Hong Kong market. We measure sentiment by forming composite sentiment indices from several proxies using principal component analysis and the partial least square method. We find that sentiment measures using either method have similar in-sample forecasting power but the one formed by using partial least square method has better out-o

Medelpensioneringsåldern i Sverige har länge varit mer eller mindre konstant trots att medellivslängden har ökat. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida det finns en optimal pensionsålder när den förväntade återstående livslängden är en annan än den Pensionsmyndigheten förutsatt och om detta kan förklara den konstanta medelpensioneringsåldern. Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ metod och

Bakgrund: Amyotrofisk Lateralskleros (ALS) är en dödlig neurodegenerativ sjukdom. Destruktion av motorneuron leder till att ALS-patienterna blir helt förlamade, vilket medför en stor påverkan i patienternas liv. Syfte: Belysa patienters upplevelse av att leva med ALS, genom att beskriva hur patienters liv och livskvalitet påverkas av sjukdomen. Metod: Litteraturstudie med integrerad analys. Result

Mykorrhiza motverkar läckage av kväve Tillgången på kväve (N) begränsar tillväxt i nästan alla land-ekosystem. Därför förväntas ekosystem optimeras för att hushålla med denna resurs. Förbränning av fossila bränslen och industriell tillverkning har nyligen fördubblat tillgången på N. Jag har undersökt hur träd ingår partnerskap med svampar för att effektivisera sitt upptag av N, och hur deras relaEctomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) mediate nutrient exchange between trees and soil in coniferous forests. Nitrogen (N) currently limits net primary productivity (NPP) in many terrestrial ecosystems but N deposition may alleviate this limitation, inducing limitation of phosphorous (P) instead. Studies have shown reductions in production of EMF mycelia (EMM) when trees are alleviated limitation of N, unle

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för medlemmarnas kommunikativa funktioner i ett oetablerat politiskt parti och hur dessa funktioner kan användas i partiets arbete med strategisk kommunikation. Vidare behandlar uppsatsen hur oetablerade partier kan arbeta och ta tillvara på de interna resurserna för att nå sina mål. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en fallstudie av det politiska partietThe aim of this study is to obtain greater understanding of the different functions that members can contribute to an unestablished political party, and how these functions can be seen as assets in the organization’s work with strategic communication. Furthermore, this study investigates how unestablished parties can seize the underlying resources for its purpose to reach the organizational goals.

Den stigberoende drivmedelsindustrin Hur kommer det sig att det finns så många olika biodrivmedel tillgängliga men att inga har slagit igenom stort på marknaden? Denna uppsats undersöker begränsningar och drivkrafter med att införa två biodrivmedel, etanol och dimetyleter, på marknaden. Intervjuer med två stora fordonsföretag samt en litteraturstudie har genomförts. Med dagens utsläpp av växthusThere are a number of existing and new biofuels on the Swedish market. These operate differently and need to be managed in different ways. In order to solve problems associated with the transport sector's large and unsustainable energy consumption and emissions of CO2, it is important to study how biofuels can work in practice and gain a broad knowledge of prerequisites for their mainstream ma

This bachelor’s thesis has focuses on the internal hierarchies of gender within the gay, male, community. Based on interviews with young gay men in Sweden, I explore the way that we (for I situate myself in the studied field) feel, experience and relate to concepts of masculinity, femininity and desire. From this I conclude that the position of negotiation with hegemonic masculinity is one of prec

The diploma work is partly a collaboration with the Swedisch furniture company IKEA. The task has been to develop a childrens bed with the aim to fulfil the need for compact solutions in childrens rooms, encourage childrens development and incorporate play. The result has become two parallel concepts, where one has taken guidelines from IKEA´s way of working with product development, its restrict

This thesis investigates the importance of scale for power dynamics in the negotiation of risks connect-ed to Urban Rivers in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to unequal distribution of wealth, global inequalities in the distribution of risk become increasingly important. Scale as a significant dimension of inequality is discussed in the context of Nairobi’s urban, as water scarcity and flooding events

Talented employees are important for companies, and graduate programs are designed to internal educate talented students to make them a strong resource for the company. A problem is that trainees tend to leave the company after the program. This master thesis investigates how trainees become motivated, during and after the program, to retain within the company and where the perceived expectation g

Climate scientists argue that the world’s increasing CO2 emissions are damaging for humans and the planet. If this is true, then how come governments are not rushing to provide sufficient incentives for a fast transition into renewable energy? The thesis proposes an explanation by focusing on included and excluded discourses in the EU climate and energy debate. The research is based on a case stud

Lukas van der Heiden Hotet från havet Klimatförändringarna förväntas i framtiden ge upphov till allt fler klimatrelaterade risker i kustnära områden i Sverige, bland annat i form av havsnivåhöjningar, stormar, översvämningar och erosion. Ett antal personer boende i kustnära områden i Helsingborg samt Helsingborgs kommun har via intervjuer delat med sig av sina uppfattningar, upplevelser och åsikAbstract Helsingborg is one of the coastal municipalities in Sweden that have experienced coastal flooding. This is a risk that may occur more frequently due to the current climate change. The purpose of this study is to examine how residents living near the coast in Helsingborg perceive the risks of climate change, if they have used any measures to protect themselves and their homes from this, a

In the process of an individual's personal brand-building, which can be seen as an approach in order to highlight a person's main features, consumption has become an important instrument. Individuals are using consumption as
