Denna studie har en socialkonstruktionistisk utgångspunkt och syftar till att undersöka upplevelser av intern varumärkeskommunikation som styrningsverktyg från ett mottagarperspektiv. Syftet grundas i en problematik där den strategiska idén med interna varumärken går förlorad när hänsyn inte tas till medarbetares subjektiva upplevelser av varumärket. För att uppnå syftet har en fallstudie genomförFrom a social constructionist view, the purpose is to examine experiences of internal brand communication as a management tool from a recipient perspective. The problem is based on the fact that the strategic intention of internal brands is lost when co-workers’ subjective experiences are not taken into account. To reach the purpose, a case study has been conducted where co-workers on operative le

The goal of this investigation is to study the performance of two different aspects of neural network ensembles: one ensemble contains over-trained networks and the other very many members. The over-training of the networks within the first ensemble is achieved with a larger number of hidden neurons than the approximation task in question would require. The result of the investigation is that over

The municipality of Lund is working to reduce its meat consumption by serving vegetarian food once a week in the municipal schools.

In this thesis an algorithm for simulating the equilibrium behavior of a large number of protein sequences at fixed temperature in a single run is investigated. The method, which works by allowing Monte Carlo updates of the protein sequence, is implemented and tested for a simple reduced-representation continuous protein model with three different types of amino acids. The effectiveness of the m

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors on underpricing in the UK and Germany. The focus hereby lies on the different institutional framework (common and civil law) and implied ownership structure of both countries. A quantitative analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression model and descriptive statistics. The dependent variable underpricing is regressed on

The roof structure of the church then had a flat wooden roof on the inside with room for tension rods so that the roof structure only affected the masonry walls with vertical loads. After a major fire in the 1200s, where the church was almost completely destroyed, cross vaults were built. This meant

De senaste åren har det skett en stor omsättning av högre kommunala chefer. En del kan förklaras med pensionsavgångar, men en del har med något annat att göra. Tidigare undersökningar och forskning pekar på att vi har en kommunal tjänstemannaorganisation och politik i förändring, där trycket har ökat på både politiker och tjänstemän. En av riktningarna går mot en ökad politisk professionalisering
