Automation is one of the key topics of the 21st century with many workers concerned about their jobs being replaced by machines. This has led to an ongoing debate to determine to what degree automation is occurring, and which occupations are going to be affected by it. This paper attempts to take a different approach which differs from mainstream authors by focusing on the tasks that each occupati
The aim with this research is to contribute to a holistic understanding of employer branding as a co-created process between the employer and the employees. This is done via capturing employees’ stories about an attractive employer. Theories of culture, sensemaking and storytelling are used as a theoretical starting point. A qualitative approach is chosen for gathering empirical data from intervie
In a conventional prostate cancer radiotherapy treatment workflow, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used for radiotherapy treatment planning and target delineation. MRI is necessary in the process due to better soft tissue contrast compared to CT-images. Using two different imaging modalities in radiotherapy treatment planning requires image registration, which cou

This study aims to investigate the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance of listed Singaporean companies. We collect the data from 137 listed companies for the period of four years from 2013 to 2016. In this research, corporate governance is driven by a wide range of variables, which include the dual role CEO, board size and board independence. Besides, the financial
This paper investigates the spatial distribution of different knowledge sourcing mechanisms by a network of video game developers in the Skåne region of Sweden. The video game industry has evolved considerably since its inception; transforming from a localized niche industry to one of the fastest growing media industries in the world. This paper aims to address how industry evolution engenders bot
In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
Cloud is used more than ever before, and the trend seems to continue as more and more organizations choose to use cloud services such as database, storage, computing, or web servers. As more organizations choose cloud, the question of which cloud platform that best suits their needs is more relevant than ever. Within this thesis, the four largest cloud platforms have been evaluated to give future
The Swedish railway system has a lack of capacity, which has caused major delays and problems with punctuality. One of the reasons is the increase in rail traffic over the recent decades. To reduce the pressure on existing railways, the Swedish government is planning to construct the first Swedish high-speed rail link. Connecting Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö with high-speed trains. A high-speed r
To satisfy the increased demand for transportation in Sweden the new high-speed railroad line is expected to be finished in 2035. The railroad is expected to connect the three major cities Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg with a top speed of 350 km/h. In this report the cost of on-board personnel and energy is investigated on the Lund – Stockholm stretch for speeds up to 420 km/h. The cost of perso
The notion of the bioeconomy is a growing topic in both politics as well as in academic papers. Related to sustainable transitions, this paper analyses to what extent differences in visions and expectations exist in the developing bioeconomy. In particular, the aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge regarding differences in expectations and visions for industries collaborating in the deve
The interest for corporate governance as a research subject has surged over the past decades as a result of a number of publicised corporate scandals. These events highlighted the substantial impact that poor decision making at board level can have on a firm and its stakeholders. In an effort to counter the threat of dysfunctional boards, stricter corporate governance regulations have been enforce
In attosecond physics, pump-probe experiments have been a promising tool to study the fundamental light-matter interaction process of photoionization. In this context, photoelectron spectroscopy is used to spatially and temporally characterize the ejected photoelecron. Low repetition rates can be limited in resolution by space-charge effects \cite{spacecharge} and measurement statistics which can
The aim of this essay is to examine young men's stories and thoughts about the violence and the street shootings that have been committed in Malmö in recent years. The stories and thoughts are thus aimed to identify some forcings behind the violence in the city. By listening to the young men's stories, the purpose is to portray norms and factors that contribute to criminal activities among
Människan har genom alla tider givit upphov till avfall. I takt med att utvecklingen fortskridit har även mängden avfall ökat vilket ställt krav på en effektiv avfallshantering. Deponering och kompostering är några av de metoder som används för omhändertagandet av avfall där mängden organiskt avfall som deponeras har minskat till följd av de förbud som införts. Mängden organiskt material som omhänThrough time, mankind have given rise to waste. Along with the evolvement of technology the amount of waste has steadily increased which in turn have put high demands on waste management. Landfills and composts are some of the methods used for treatment of waste where the amount of organic waste that is being landfilled has decreased due to restrictions. The amount of organic waste that is being t
This study will examine how relative solmization can be used to teach children and young people how to sing and read sheet music. Data collection was done using four methods; case study, observation, qualitative interview and stimulated recall. The literature chapter of this study accounts for the differences between absolute and relative solmization, and then describes relative solmization based
När massiva träbjälklag används i byggnader är dimensioneringen ofta styrd av krav på utböjningen. För att minska utböjningen för ett bjälklag måste böjstyvheten ökas. Ökning av böjstyvheten för ett bjälklag kan antingen ske genom en ökad höjd eller genom användning av material med högre styvhet. Den vanligaste metoden för att öka böjstyvheten är genom att öka höjden på bjälklaget. I denna rapportWhen massive timber decks are used in buildings the design is often regulated by serviceability limit state (SLS), mainly the vibration criteria. To decrease the risk for vibrations of a deck the bending stiffness needs to be increased. To increase the bending stiffness of the deck either the depth of the deck can be increased or the stiffness of the used material. The most common way to increase
The study adapts on the cybernetic controls part of the framework of Malmi and Brown (2008) elaborating the discussion to resolve the limitations of traditional accounting practices with the combination of modern accounting techniques. Since some conventional practices of accounting are no longer commensurate to the contemporary lean manufacturing environment, the emerging techniques come in place
This paper investigates the journalistic language in El País, Spain’s most read newspaper, with the aim to problematize the use of male generic nouns in Spanish. According to our theoretical framework, the feminist critique of language, male generic nouns are considered to be the result of a patriarchal and androcentric system. Thus, the analysis studies how and to which extent the usage of male g
Dagens stadsbyggnadsprojekt är komplexa och många funktioner ska trängas på en liten yta i våra städer. I ett försök att ge grönstruktur i städer större plats har flera kommuner runt om i landet börjat ställa krav kring grönytefaktor; ett sätt att mäta mängden grönska på tomter i staden. I denna studie undersöktes vilken effekt detta krav har på samhällsbyggandet och hur det fungerar i samspelet mAbstract Title: Green Area Factor in affect – How does the implementation of Green Area Factor requirements work in Sweden today?
