The aim of this thesis is to gather existing literature regarding the challenges senior human resource managers face in multinational corporations when managing a global workforce, as well as to discover the strategies that are used within the field of international human resource management. The systematic literature review revealed several main challenges and strategies and by building on those

I och med min utbildning till lärare i musik- och svenska som andraspråk vill jag låta dessa ämnesområden sammanfläta i mitt examensarbete. I och med den flyktingström som påverkat hela vårt land har skolsituationen i Sverige förändrats. Antalet nyanlända elever i skolan har ökat och många av dem ska få undervisning i musik. Detta är ett uppdrag som musiklärare inte varit beredda på. Därför är syfIn my education, to be a teacher in music and Swedish as a second language, I want these subjects intertwine in my degree project. With increase of refugees in our country, the school situation has changed. The number of new arrivals in school has increased and many of them will be taught in music. This is an assignment that music teacher has not been prepared for. Therefore, the aim of the study

This study examines the civil-military relations in Turkey during 1997-2016. The aim is to analyze the change in relations with the help of Rebecca Schiffs Concordance theory. It uses the method of process tracing to analyze the factors that, according to the concordance theory, explain different patterns in civil-military relations. Furthermore, given Turkey’s geographical position, the region’s

This thesis deals with the vast number of rapes that have been conducted in DRC (the Democratic Republic of Congo) since the outbreak of war in ’98. To do this I have used a comparative case approach where I have compared the DRC military with the UN’s peacekeeping forces in DRC. I have done this through content analysis, and I have analyzed studies and reports from my two different cases. By usin

Has Sweden abandoned its traditions on what foundations military interventions are decided upon, such as a solid UN mandate, valid framework organizations and inviolable legal status of its personnel? In June 2015 Sweden decided to participate in Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq. Twelve days later a new defence-policy was decided, focusing on national capabilities. Furthermore, government was cr

Nanoteknologi är ett område där man växa strukturer på ett kontrollerat sätt i nanometer skala. Dessa strukturer även kallad för nanotrådar har genom de senaste åren revolutionerat den teknologiska världen. Genom en bred användning av nanotrådar i tex, våra mobiltelefoner, solpaneler och mm, så har dessa objekt med sin elektriska förmåga gett upphov till snabbare och mer effektivare elektronik. NScanning tunneling microscope (STM) has in recent years been one of the most used microscopy approaches in surface science. The STM probe allows for the investigation of atomic resolution electrical properties of a material, these probes are usually of metallic characters. In this project, efforts have been made to investigate how good semi-conducting materials are as scanning probes. GaN-nanowire

Regeringen tillsatte 2016 en delegation, Tillitsdelegationen, och gav denna bland annat i uppdrag att utreda möjligheterna för en styrning baserad på tillit snarare än kontroll. Bakgrunden till denna uppsats finns i en undran kring hur långt Tillitsdelegationens idéer avviker från etablerad förvaltningspraxis gällande granskning. Genom att identifiera vilken typ av ansvarsutkrävande som represente

Denna uppsats studerar genom en jämförande studie korruption utifrån fallen Sverige och Island under tidsperioden 2002 till 2017. Varje stats rättsväsendes - för studien relevanta - lagförändringar jämförs med aspirationen att finna korruptionshämmande effekter inom dessa. Parallellt sker även en teoriprövande studie utifrån tre olika perspektiv; the indirect big bang approach, principal-agentteor

Denna uppsats ämnar till att via en fallstudie av Bosnienkriget och konflikten i Kosovo påvisa en skillnad i NATO:s benägenhet att intervenera med media som den påverkande faktorn. För denna studie har det applicerats delar av två olika teorier, vilket är cnn-effekten och chain-ganging & buck-passing. Resultatet påvisade att när medias rapporter ger en uppmålning av en snabbt utvecklande proce

An ambiguity characterises Swedish Sami policy. In some regards, Sweden is securing rights for the Sami and receiving praise from international organisations. However, Sweden is also criticised for not supporting Sami interests, as for instance regarding a ratification of the ILO convention No. 169. Thus, Swedish Sami policies have showed to support disparate ends; in some instances strengthening

Right-wing populist parties are on the rise all over Europe. While academia pays a lot of attention to well-established populist parties in France, Austria and Italy, new competitors such as the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany are mostly disregarded. Specifically, the impact those new parties have before entering power on a federal level has been neglected. The present research concen

The torque capabilities of electrical machines are today limited by magnetic saturation and the ability to transfer thermal loads away from the machine. A solution to thermal management in power turbo-generators involves hollow conductors allowing direct cooling of the heat source thus increasing the power density significantly. The work done in this master thesis investigates the pos- sibilities

Problem description: Mature industrial enterprises stand before the challenge of developing strategies and competitive advantage through their logistics services. The business development within logistics and distribution services is fast and rapidly changing as the customer experience is becoming increasingly important and the additional services are becoming an integrated part of the product off

Genomic rearrangements larger than 50 bp are called structural variants. As a group, they affect the phenotypic diversity among humans and have been associated with many human disorders including neurodevelopmental disorder and cancer. Recent advances in whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies have made it possible to identify many more disease-causing genetic variants relevant in clinical diag

Following evidence of overpricing in structured products, I develop a comprehensive framework for pricing Equity-linked notes (ELNs). My model, unlike previous research, accounts for both the bank's actual funding costs and counterparty credit risk. I also allow for Asian payoffs in the derivative part — a feature now standard in ELN issuances. Studying a sample of eight ELNs issued by a Swedi

Startups. Why are the odds of surviving the initial stages so low? While the internet revolution has made it easier to start up, for example by democratizing investments through crowdfunding, the rate of success is still daunting. Why? Ultimately, the world is still being built by humans. That means a group effort is required. To realize this, leadership is an undeniably crucial element. Yet, not

What if you could accomplish order by being lazy? The project is about the balance between order and disorder. Without any extra thought, sorting clothes to create a calm environment for both eye and mind. Häng & Släng is a clothing rack that yields order in the disorder of half-used clothes (not clean but not yet ready for laundry), without demanding effort. The sense of order is achieved by

Food infant composite meals are complex-based products for infants and toddlers (6-36 months of age). There are a wide variety of infant food dishes available in the market based on different technologies with different flavors, tastes and preferences. During the last 40 years the number of obese children have increased and at the same time there is an increase in diabetes in areas where toddlers

Nanopartiklars roll i den framtida medicinen Vad tänker du på när du hör ordet ”framtid”? Din första tanke är kanske den klassiska bilden av flygande bilar i gigantiska städer. Din tankebana kanske sedan flyter iväg till Star Trek där du tänker på att åka ut i rymden och utforska nya världar. Jag själv tänker på en perfekt värld med gröna energikällor och där mycket arbete är automatiserat. NågotNanomedicine is a growing field with great potential. When nanoparticles (NPs) come in contact with biological fluids a protein corona is formed on the surface. The protein corona has an effect on the pharmacokinetics and biological response. This might in turn lead to disadvantageous drug delivery and needs to be addressed when using NPs as drug delivery tools. How to build the protein corona and
