Digitalisering av arbete omvandlar arbetslivet i stora delar av världen. Trots detta har få studier undersökt medarbetare inom HR-professionens uppfattning av sin yrkesroll och motivation i arbetet i förhållande till dessa förändringar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka HR-anställdas erfarenheter av och förväntningar på arbete med data-drivet beslutsfattande, och hur deras attityder och förhållDigitalization of work changes work life in large parts of the world. Despite this, few studies have examined employees within the HR-profession’s perception of their professional role, and motivation in their work in regards to these changes. The aim of the study was to examine HR-employees experiences of, and expectations on work with data-driven decision making, and how their attitudes relate t

Women in the humanities : scientific ideals during the second half of the 20th century This thesis examines scientific ideals of female humanists during the second half of the 20th century through the analytical concept scientific or scholarly persona. The aim with this thesis is to show how scientific ideals have been negotiated in the context of obituaries of female scholars active in the humani

Problem background and research problem: Previous research has shown that demographic characteristics of corporate executives can influence financial decision-making. According to Upper Echelons Theory, factors such as gender, age and experience play a role in shaping strategic decisions. However, research on the role of CFOs remains limited, especially within capital-intensive industries like the

Compressed air systems account for roughly 10 % of industrial electricity use, suggesting that even marginal gains in compressor efficiency yield substantial cost and emission savings. Although screw compressors are valued for their compact and reliable design, the process of optimizing the performance of a machine for a specific application is typically time-consuming due to manual testing under

Bathymetry, the measurement of underwater terrain, is crucial for understanding lake storage volumes, water resource availability, and ecological conditions. While there are an estimated 117 million lakes worldwide, bathymetric data remains limited for most of them. Traditional methods for measuring bathymetry requires fieldwork which is costly and time-consuming. For this reason, new less fieldwo

Syftet med denna studie var att belysa och utforska psykologers upplevelser av tidsbegränsad terapi. Tidsbegränsad terapi definieras på så vis att antalet sessioner är begränsade före uppstart av psykologisk behandling. Det övergripande syftet med studien är att belysa olika perspektiv av hur tidsbegränsad terapi påverkar psykologen i sitt arbete och behandling. Fem verksamma psykologer med olika The aim of this study was to explore how psychologists perceive time limited therapy. Time limited therapy is defined as restricting the number of sessions before the beginning of therapeutic treatment. The overall purpose of the study is to shed light on different perspectives in terms of how time limited therapy affects the therapist in their work and the treatment. Five psychologists with diffe

This thesis investigates how low-frequency ultrasound can enhance membrane filtration performance and reduce fouling, one of the most critical limitations of membranes in water treatment technologies. Two types of membranes were studied. Flat-sheet polyethersulfone (PES) membranes, widely used for their mechanical and chemical stability, and electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) made from styrene

Realistic virtual environments offer valuable applications in rehabilitation, especially for individuals with limited mobility. However, most existing virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation platforms rely on procedurally generated or low-detail natural scenes, often lacking ecological and spatial authenticity. This study proposes a complete and cost-effective workflow that combines unmanned aer

Moral är ett svårdefinierat begrepp, och även ett begrepp som inte förekommer i Lunds universitets programbeskrivning för kandidatprogrammet i sociologi, trots att det ofta är tätt sammanflätat med de frågor som lyfts i programmet. Kravet på värdeneutralitet inom sociologisk forskning växer med tiden, trots att många sociologer uppmärksammar svårigheten i att fullkomligt utesluta moral och värderi

This study compares analytical and numerical models for groundwater modelling. The focus of comparison is to investigate the change of the analytical results when there is only a partial penetration of the aquifer. Two methods of comparison are used, the first one consisting of calculating a radial distance from a shaft to the point where the drawdown is 0.3 meters with both models. The second metCan pen and paper groundwater models compete with computer programs? Could something as simple as a pen and paper equation on the back of an envelope compete with advanced and expensive computer programs? Surprisingly, the answer could be yes for sandy soils. When modelling how a construction project will affect the groundwater surface, it’s easy to assume that the more advanced the model is, the

This thesis evaluates the feasibility of arbitrage free autoencoder models for forward curve simulation using European bond data. In the model, an autoencoder is used to learn a low dimensional factor representation of forward curves. The risk neutral evolution of forward curves can be calculated by introducing a stochastic process in this low dimensional latent space. A correction factor is added

This study explores how school counsellors and treatment practitioners perceive and address violence in young people's intimate relationships. Using a qualitative approach, six semistructured interviews were conducted, three with school counsellors working at upper secondary schools and three with practitioners from various treatment settings. The analysis was guided by the normalisation proce

Sverige genomgår för tillfället strukturella förändringar i befolkningssammansättningen. Andelen äldre blir större och andelen yngre blir tvärtemot mindre. Denna demografiska utveckling får stora följder för samhället, inte minst för bostadsmarknaden. Människor i olika åldrar har olika boendepreferenser och när fördelningen i samhället förändras, förändras också behovet av olika typer av bostäder.Sweden is facing significant demographic changes, with declining birth rates and an ageing population that is not only growing older but also growing in number. These shifts affect many areas of society, particularly the housing market. Since people of different ages have different housing preferences, the demand for various types of housing is also changing. Against this background, this study ex

This thesis is conducted through a thematic document analysis and explores the reasons why inadequate labor conditions in Bangladesh have remained unchanged since the tragedy of the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013. The findings identify two significant factors that constrain the work toward fair working conditions in the ready-made-garment industry: 1) an ongoing ‘glocal’ conflict among stakeholders i
