The paper reviewed a collection of studies from 2015-2025 in Sweden on municipal organizational change, with the aim of discussing challenges and benefits during modern change processes and connecting it to previously existing theories. The results showed that there is some conflict between different governance models (mainly NPM and TBG), that TBG can be implemented differently in different munic

Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle är stressrelaterad ohälsa ett växande problem. Flertalet studier fokuserar på det rehabiliterande perspektivet av stressrelaterad ohälsa, och få inriktar sig på det preventiva arbetet. Syfte: Utforska hur arbetsterapeuter kan arbeta preventivt för att förebygga stressrelaterad ohälsa. Metod: En fokusgruppstudie som använde en kvalitativ explorativ ansats. Totalt sex perBackground: In today's society stress-related ill health is a growing problem. Multiple studies focus on a rehabilitative perspective on stress-related ill health, while few focus on preventive approaches. Aim: The aim is to explore how occupational therapists can work prevently to reduce stress-related ill health. Method: A focus group study that uses a qualitative exploratory approach. Six p

Kriget mellan Ukraina och Ryssland har synliggjort hur sociala medier idag utgör ett modernt konfliktlandskap, där humoristiska memer har fått en allt mer framträdande roll som bärare av strategiska narrativ. Denna uppsats ämnar utifrån en narrativ analys av humoristiska memer att undersöka vilka strategiska narrativ om Ryssland och Ukraina som ukrainska aktörer kommunicerar på X. Vidare ämnar stu

This study aims to investigate how people who are living in, who have lived or who are currently working at a non-profit organization in Södra Sofielund in Malmö, Sweden, experience the area through different aspects such as feelings of safety and belonging. This study also aims to discover what resources they wish to see implemented in Södra Sofielund as well as to investigate what resources are

This paper investigates how firms and financial markets respond to extreme weather events, using the flood in 2021 in Germany as a case study. An event study is used to assess short-term stock market reactions for listed firms in affected regions. The results show a significant and persistent decline in stock prices, suggesting that investors initially underreacted to the disaster. A difference-in

Denna studie undersökte möjligheten att använda icke-kontextuella mått på motivation: Tidsinvestering och Personlighet. Dessa icke-kontextuella mått utvärderades utifrån deras förmåga att predicera genomsnittligt betyg (GPA), ett vanligt använt mått på akademisk prestation och indikator för akademisk motivation. Resultaten analyserades via explorativ faktoranalys och multipel linjär regression basThis study investigated the possibility of using non-contextual measurements of motivation: Time-investment and Personality. These non-contextual measurements were evaluated based on their ability to predict Grade Point Average (GPA), a commonly used metric of academic performance and used tangible for academic motivation. Results were analysed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and multipl

This study assesses the effectiveness of post-classification change detection for monitoring land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics across West Africa between 2000 and 2013. Using publicly available maps from the USGS West Africa Land Cover dataset, the original 25-class scheme was reclassified into 8 generalized land cover categories to allow for a more interpretable change analysis. A pixel-wis

By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas, with much of this growth occurring in developing countries where the demand for affordable and accessible housing is not met, resulting in a growing population residing in slums or areas of slum-like conditions. One of the many risks associated with living in slums or areas of slum-like conditions is fires, which are freque

In this thesis, algorithms have been developed for automated design of fully differential amplifiers. Given the amplifier specifications, the automated design flow generates netlists for the amplifier core as well as bias circuitry. The algorithms are independent of Process Design Kit (PDK) and can target all the currently available open-source PDKs. Using the automated flow, 280 amplifier netlist

This study investigates how brand trust is constructed, challenged, and redefined on dating applications, with a focus on the communicative strategies and lived experiences of female users. Adopting a qualitative approach grounded in thematic analysis, it draws on semi-structured interviews with 15 women residing in Sweden to examine how users negotiate trust in emotionally charged, algorithmicall

In communication and management research, employee voice has been widely acknowledged as a central component for organizations long term development and survival. With the increasing digitalization and need for flexibility, digital workplace meetings have become a common form of communication, demonstrating a new arena where employee voice is expressed and shaped. Thus, the aim of this study is to

Detta projekt avsåg att optimera ett automatiskt backspolande filter för emulsionspolymerer på the Dow Chemical Companys anläggning i Landskrona, samt att jämföra det med det befintliga påsfiltersystemet. Då filtret använder färdigprodukten för att backspola filtret fokuserade optimeringen på att minska mängden produkt som spolas ut, så kallat reject, då detta medför avfallskostnader och förlust aThis project aimed to optimize an automatic backwash filter for emulsion polymers at the Dow Chemical Company's facility in Landskrona, and to compare it with the existing cartridge filter system. Since the filter uses the finished product to backwash the filter, the optimization focused on reducing the amount of product that is flushed out, so-called reject, as this entails disposal costs and

As climate change presents a complex and urgent challenge, philanthropic actors are recognised as ‘change agents’ in driving responses. This study explores how Philea, a European network, guides its members' foundations and philanthropic organisations towards greener transitions. Building on the theory of polycentric governance and the concept of environmental philanthropy, this study addresse

Introduction: PARP14 is a member of the PARP superfamily of enzymes, which are responsible for the ADP-ribosylation of target proteins and nucleic acids. The enzyme performs mono-ADP-ribosylation of its targets and is involved in many cellular processes, including DNA repair, cellular differentiation and apoptosis. PARP14 is specifically regarded as a writer, reader, as well as an eraser of ADP-ri

This master thesis was done in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Sys- tems, with the objective to find a standard lift solution for their overhead sectional door 1142. The current solution has a minimum required headroom of 900 mm, which means that there needs to be at least 900 mm between the lowest part of the door and the highest part of the whole structure when the door is open. While th

Kvantitativ perfusion - framtidens metod för att mäta hjärtats syresättning Hur vet man om hjärtat får tillräckligt med syre? Det räcker inte alltid med en bild, vi vill ha siffror. Med kvantitativ perfusionsanalys ges möjlighet att mäta blodflödet i hjärtmuskeln med hög precision, vilket kan förbättra diagnostiken och rädda liv. Ischemisk hjärtsjukdom, alltså när syretillförseln till hjärtmuskeIschemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Studying the left ventricular myocardial perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a validated method to assess and diagnose the disease. Quantitative assessment of perfusion has advantages compared to qualitative evaluation, still, no regulatory approved software exist. In this project, a

Student Brand Ambassadorship: The Influence of Identification with the University on Student Advocacy in Higher Education Institutions This study investigates how students’ identification with the university influences their willingness to engage in brand-supporting behaviors, conceptualized as student brand ambassadorship. This study argues for a differentiation between university as organizatio

Sammanfattning Det är viktigt för stora företag som Bosch att ligga i framkant när det gäller teknisk utveckling.
