The concept of remote leadership is investigated from a leader perspective using a qualitative method, interviewing 11 remote leaders in the private sector. The following categories have em
With the advent of autonomous vehicles (AV) comes a plethora of new parameters to take into consideration in automotive design. Over the years, traffic signals and rules have developed in symbiosis, and are clear and easy to understand when the communication is between drivers. It is less clear between driver and pedestrian, especially when a pedestrian intends to cross the street. A non-verbal ag
Syfte: Syftet är att identifiera likheter och skillnader för ekonomistyrningssystem mellan olika kulturella regioner. För att uppfylla syftet utformades två delmål: (1) Förklara identifierade skillnader och likheter med kultur som utgångspunkt, (2) Identifiera olika ideer om framtida forskning. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där sekundärdata från tidigare forskning användes. En metod som Objective: The objective is to identify similarities and differences in management control systems in different cultural regions. To achieve the objective, two strategies have been formulated: (1) Explain identified similarities and differences with culture as a base, (2) Identify different ideas about future research. Methodology: A literature study was conducted in which secondary data from pre
Korslimmat trä, eller KL-trä, har gett nya möjligheter för storskaligt byggande av träkonstruktioner. Träets låga egenvikt kan dock resultera i ökad risk för vibrationer som upplevs obehagliga och mentalt påfrestande. Därför behövs bättre förståelse för det dynamiska beteendet av KL-trä för framtida användning. Datorsimuleringar för bjälklag av KL-trä kan dock vara tidskrävande och ibland försvåraThe deregulation of timber for use in large scale constructions has seen the addition of new innovative timber-based products to a category of products referred to as engineered wood products. A now well established addition to these products is cross laminated timber, or CLT for short. CLT products use a form of orthogonal layering, where several parallel wooden boards are arranged in a number of
Introduction: Dental caries among preschool children is a global problem, a burden on children’s well-being, and an economic burden on healthcare systems. In Sweden, preschool children with an immigrant background have a higher prevalence of caries. Extensive treatment need and long-standing poor oral health may require dental treatment within hospital care. This study aimed to investigate whether
Anammox-processen erbjuder en hållbar och energieffektiv metod för biologisk kväve-avskiljning inom avloppsrening. Men bakterierna som utför arbetet kväver en källa till nitrit, och en möjlig lösning på detta är att kombinera metoden med partiell denitrifikation. Kan ett samarbete mellan dessa olika grupper av mikroorganismer upprättas, och vilken påverkan har typen av kolkälla som används i proceIn traditional wastewater treatment, nitrogen is removed through the biological process combination of nitrification and denitrification. Although it is a well-established method, the need for aeration and possible addition of an external carbon source results in it being an energy-negative and costly process, thus making alternative methods for nitrogen removal compelling to examine. Anaerobic am

Många individer upplever höga stressnivåer på arbetsplatsen. Denna uppsats avser att utforska sambandet mellan olika aspekter som påverkar arbetsrelaterad stress i organisationer. Studien undersöker sambandet mellan fem individuella variabler: identitetshot, rädsla för negativ evaluering, självmedkänsla, arbetsposition och genus. I denna studie antas identitetshot och rädsla för negativ evalueringMany individuals experience high levels of stress at work. This paper aims to explore the relationship between elements that could generate and reduce levels of stress in work organizations. Specifically, the current research looks at the relationship of five individual difference variables: identity threat, fear of negative evaluation, self-compassion, work position, and gender. Identity threat a

Today, an increasing portion of the world's population is moving from one country to another every year to work. In recent years there has been a feminisation of labour migration where women from developing countries respond to shortages in care work in developed countries, as domestic workers. Hong Kong is today considered one of the best places of destination for foreign domestic workers. Ev
The aim of this thesis is to establish whether a neural network (NN) can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - retrieved from the computationally demanding dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS). It has been devoted to elaboration with various types of neural network architectures: Branched NNs capable of processing in
The raw material tier in companies’ supply chains can be a hotspot for sustainability issues like deforestation and resulting legal, reputational, financial and operational risks – yet companies’ supply chain management efforts as well as research on sustainable supply chain management still focus on direct suppliers due to poor upstream transparency. With technical progress, remote sensing and sa
Följande studie behandlar framtida biogasproduktion i Europa. Målet är att identifiera i vilka länder som det finns förutsättningar för tillväxt av produktion och användning av biogas samt möjligheter för en lönsam biogasproduktion i industriell skala. Med industriell skala menas en biogasanläggning som har en installerad kapacitet större än 2MWgas och kan därmed uppnå en lönsamhet vid produktion The following study addresses the future biogas production in Europe. The aim is to identify the prerequisites for growth of production and utilization of biogas as well as opportunities for profitable biogas production on an industrial scale. By industrial scale is meant a biogas plant that has an installed capacity greater than 2MWgas and can thus achieve a profitability in the production of bio
Högvalenta järn (IV)-oxo-komplex, där en oxidjon (O2-) är bunden till järnjonen, är ofta väldigt reaktiva molekyler och tros spela en viktig roll i många biologiska reaktioner. De antas vara de aktiva deltagarna i de reaktioner som så kallade oxygenas-enzymer utför. Med förhoppning om att kunna utnyttja dessa reaktioner industriellt har mycket forskning riktats mot att syntetisera kopior av dessa Oxygenases use molecular oxygen to oxidise a plethora of biologically important reactions. To gain access to these reactions on a synthetic, and in the longer run, an industrial scale research focused on mimicking the active oxidant species, synthesis and reactivity studies of high valent Fe(IV)-oxo complexes that function as mimics of the active sites in iron oxygenases has been performed in the
This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.
