Studiens syfte är att skapa en nyanserad förståelse för upplevelserna med att arbeta på distans och att leda på distans. Genom en kvalita

Can strategic thinking be taught? Randomized experiments were organized to estimate the effect of information nudge on strategic decisions. The information nudge consisted of seeing a short text and a picture with an explanation related to game theory. Test subjects played two games: a p-beauty contest game and a variable-sum game. The main finding was surprising; the treatment was related to answ

Airlines are required to manage safety by implementing a Safety Management System (SMS). These systems are built on experience with quality management and seek to provide a structure for organisations to manage the risks presented by and to their individual operations. Safety is presented by the SMS as a ‘state of being’ arrived after following risk management to a level as low as reasonably pract

Following rapid urbanization and population growth in cities, many recent studies indicate the impacts of microclimate conditions on the energy performance of buildings. However, the methodologies and simulation tools used to evaluate the energy performance of buildings in urban settlements have overlooked the impacts of microclimatic conditions simply by the use of weather station data. This stud

Despite women being the backbone of the agricultural sector in India, the patriarchal agrarian system poses major obstacles and challenges specific to women farmers with consequences well beyond the individual. This research aims to explore how mobile phones can empower rural women vis-à-vis agriculture. Taking the lens of Feminist Theory, the ambition of this research is to study real-life expe

How do neighbourhoods affect life chances? This is a question that researchers have asked in different forms as early as the 50’s –and there is no shortage of papers exploring neighbourhood effects: how where we live affects our well-being or our participation in the labour market, our life expectancy or, in general, our life outcomes. Yet, there is less consensus than one would expect from a fiel

Den här uppsatsen har därför undersökt svenska skogsarbetare och skogsentreprenörers uppfattningar om sin rådande arbetsmiljö.

Vad är det minsta ni någonsin har mätt? Vad är den snabbaste händelsen ni någonsin observerat? Kanske har ni haft turen att studera naturen omkring er med hjälp av ett mikroskop, kanske har ni sett en "slow motion" film av explosioner som sker på endast en bråkdel av en sekund. Finns det någon begränsning på hur små objekt vi kan mäta, på hur snabba händelseförlopp vi kan observera? På In the search for a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the atom, the development of femtosecond pulsed laser sources has opened up for many applications, in particular in time-resolved physics. For many of those, like the generation of attosecond pulses through high-order harmonic generation, high intensity is needed and the quality of the beam is a critical factor. Most commonly,

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om postkoloniala strukturer påverkar den internationella barnrätten generellt.

Research comparing the ideological beliefs, radicalization pathways, and extremist rhetoric of both Salafi jihadists and militant white supremacists has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. However, there has not yet been an in-depth comparison of how those extremists portray the communities they incite violence against. In light of this gap in the existing research, the author of t

In this thesis I argue that one of the missing components in movements working against inequalities and violence is a larger participation of men. I review the theoretical arguments on why it is important for men to join these movements by exploring recent research on the topic of motivations for engagement in gender equality work. I investigate these motivations and situate them in the Swedish co
