Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker ledarskapsstilar inom byggsektorn. Mer specifikt undersöker den vilka ledarskapsstilar som förekommer inom byggsektorn, om vissa förekommer mer ofta än andra, om chefer inom byggsektorn ändrar ledarskapsstil beroende på vilken situation som de befinner sig i samt om det finns några skillnader i föredragen ledarskapsstil mellan olika chefspositioner inom byggsektorn

This thesis investigates the use of science-fiction film as a medium through which the collective understanding of future urban environments can be discussed. It poses the question of how images of architecture in science-fiction films influence our perceptions and understanding of the future of our lived environments. By focusing on images of fictional future urban environments that have been sel

The purpose of this project was to create an object that improves the performances of football players, preferably on all levels, be it professionals or amateurs. The main theme was science and technology, to explore how they together can be used to accomplish this task. The project consisted of doing research on site at amateur football clubs, which included observations of training sessions a

Tin whiskers have long caused issues to electronic components and made the subject of many articles. According to NASA the oldest reports concerning whiskers date back to the 1940's. The whiskers are single-crystals growing from, for example electronic components. Despite the long history of tin whiskers the actual cause of their growth is still unknown. The hypothesis held by the author is th

As a de facto leader in corporate governance and sustainability reporting (SR), this study provides a thorough and comprehensive characterisation of SR among the UK’s leading companies. A content analysis was undertaken of key corporate communications across a sample of 66 constituents listed on the London/ Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 index. Through a systematic analytical framework

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown using catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy were used as scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes. The probes were prepared by placing a GaN nanowire on a tungsten STM probe using a nanomanipulator in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and welding them together using an electron beam induced platinum deposition. STM imaging was performed on indiuA microscopy field known as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), uses various methods to get a picture of a sample surface down to such a small scale that individual atoms can be observed. One particular method to perform such microscopy uses the phenomena of quantum tunneling rather than using visible light. This method is called Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and the way it works is extremely d

The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states. This thesis aimed to explore how Sami national identity is constructed, shaped and promoted

Området Ramlösa station och Helsingborgs godsbangård innefattar bland annat resecentrum, rangerbangård, tågdepåer och kombiterminal för att nämna några. Utöver det är området en del i stadsförnyelseprojekt H+ som ska omvandla en miljon kvadratmeter till en mer blandad stad, för att möta framtidens behov. Inom området har aktörer tillkommit, försvunnit och behovet har förändrats över tid. Det har o

From the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a tendency to hybridize Buddhism with modern technology, which embodies rich ambiguities. At the conference AI World 2016, a robotic monk Xian’er with artificial intelligence(AI) premiered in China and was claimed as the icon of the harmony of techno-Buddhism. This paper will explore the ambiguity of Xian’er – why and how the harmony comes int

Målet med detta arbete var att rena fram proteinet Chlamydia trachomatis ribonucleotide reductase R1 Δ248. För att göra detta effektivt, med en så liten förlust av proteinet som möjligt under processen, så krävs kunskap om proteinets egenskaper. Med vetskapen att denna mutant, som saknar de första 248 aminosyrorna jämfört med den icke-muterade varianten, enbart har en ATP-kon medan den icke-muteraThe enzyme Ribonucleotide Reductase (RNR) reduces ribonucleotides (NTPs) to deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), which are then used as building blocks in the synthesis of DNA. In this thesis are reported the expression and purification of a mutant version of Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 , called Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 Δ248. The R1 subunit o

STI (Soil Topografic Index) är ett hydrologiskt index som beskriver markfuktigheten i ett landskap. Då indexet är baserat på de relativt konstanta faktorerna topografi, jordens textur och jorddjup beskriver det ett generellt markfuktighetsmönster. Indexet applicerades på jordbruksmark i Helsingborgs kommun för att få kunskap om vilka områden markfuktigheten tenderar att vara låg eller hög. Vid extThe index STI describes water flow path in a landscape. Whit the help of STI it´s possible to detect areas where the soil moisture is expected to be very high or low. When comparing the result of the STI for the chosen study-area with interviews for farmers in the same area, where was a similarity between which areas the STI identified as risk for high soil moisture and which areas the farmers ide

Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A

The drastic changes in infrastructure and arrival of luxury tourism to South Sinai has brought the global world at the doorstep of the region’s nomadic bedouins. The ever-expanding global influence has given birth to a generation of young bedouin women who absorb the surrounding new ideals, behaviors and understandings, blending them with their tribal culture. This has created identity hybridities

Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. Furthermore, precipitation drives Surface Mass Balance (SMB), which is the sum of accumulation and the

Hösten 2017 startade uppropet #tystnadtagning för att uppmärksamma skådespelerskors upplevelser av sexuella trakasserier i arbetet. Genom flertalet berättelser delade skådespelerskorna i uppropet med sig av personligt upplevda sexuella kränkningar i syftet att förändra sin arbetssituation. Denna uppsats syfte är att generera större branschspecifik kunskap om sexuella trakasserier i arbetet ur kvin

Purpose: The ambition of this study is to update the underlying assumptions about the role of a brand manager in the new digital era by illuminating how the role is executed and perceived by brand managers themselves. This study aims to update the language concerning a brand manager’s role with the help of metaphors and also, problematize the traditional assumptions regarding brand management. Me
