Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of auditors at different career stages on current management control and the work environment. In order to gain a deeper analysis of the auditors' perspective, the study has used previous empirical research and theories of motivation and job satisfaction. Thus, two research questions have been formulated to support the study.

Författare: Lovisa Cederstrand & Maja Christiansson Titel: Lagom macho Kandidatuppsats: SOCK10, 15 hp Handledare: David Sausdal Sociologiska institutionen, höstterminen 2021 Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur manliga poliser själva uppfattar och upplever den påstådda bild som samhället har om att polismyndighetens organisationskultur är macho. Samt om någon förändring kan utläsas base

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique for identifying molecular structures, compositions etc. and is widely used in many life science research fields. The purpose of this project is to synthesize PDMS microparticles with a magnetic susceptibility matching water, which makes them applicable for use in NMR of biological samples. The microparticles are intended to be used as a chroma

North America, Western Europe, China, and India are today the greatest emitters of carbon dioxide. This research aims to compare the development of North America and Western Europe with the Chinese and Indian ones. It is a comparison of the key factors that affects the emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels. The key factors are the ones proposed by the Kaya identity, a particular type of decomposition

Exploring a prolonged life cycle of materials through an adaptive transformation Take, make and waste. Our society is trapped in a linear economic system where we extract raw materials, process them into products and as they have served their purpose they are reduced to waste. This unsustainable mentality seeps through to all things consumable, from fashion and cellphones to kitchen counters and

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att genom en litteraturstudie av två vetenskapliga artiklar som undersökt medierapporteringen kring två fall rörande protester i sportsliga sammanhang, försöka ta reda på hur medierapporteringen i amerikanska tidningar sett ut för respektive fall och jämföra dessa med varandra för att hitta likheter och olikheter. Fallen det rör sig om är Tommie Smith och Joh

Aktuell statistik som kartlägger svenskars levnadsstandard visar en betydande ökning av övervikt och fetma bland befolkningen. Hög kroppsvikt förknippas med medicinska åkommor såväl som psykosociala problem. Den sociala miljön kring överviktiga individer präglas av exkludering, kränkningar och förlöjligande, dessa beteenden benämns som fat shaming och de utgör en samhällsstruktur av fettförakt. De

Över 70% av alla män kommer bli helt eller delvis skalliga under sina liv, men trots detta finns försvinnande lite samhällsvetenskaplig forskning kring hur män upplever eller hanterar håravfall. Syftet med detta arbete är att få en bättre förståelse för ämnet utifrån ett antropologiskt perspektiv, genom att svara på hur unga män som börjat tappa håret tidigt upplever hårförlust och skallighet, sam

Thesis purpose: the purpose of this research is to understand how and if different motives simultaneously influence consumers’ decision to acquire second-hand luxury fashion online. Through this, we want to find different consumer archetypes in second-hand luxury fashion. This study aims to contribute with both theoretical and managerial implications to the second-hand luxury research field. Metho

Concerns are growing within the field of development as global democracy rates decline. As a solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April 2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and crippling structural

Stad och landsbygd beskrivs ofta som raka motsatser och i den framställda dikotomin mellan stad och land skildras ofta större tätorter som vinnare mot en avfolkad landsbygd. Tätorter och landsbygder runt om i landet har olika geografiska, demografiska och sociala förutsättningar. Det går därför inte att säga att det sker en positiv utveckling för alla tätorter eller en negativ utveckling för hela Urban and rural are often seen as each other’s complete opposites, were larger urban settlements are often presented as the winners against depopulating rural areas. While this is not always true, there is in many places an ongoing deterioration of public transport in areas with lower population density where resources are allocated to urban areas with a larger demand. This and other climate measu

During the 90s, the Swedish government implemented a series of neoliberal housing policies in search of a wayout for the economic crisis, including demolition of the ministry of housing, deregulations and disincentivising housing construction, which has created decline in housing production and privatisation of municipal housing companies. The neoliberal policy reform was attributed to the shortag

In recent years the importance of financial inclusion for economic growth has been thoroughly discussed. Particularly, the impact of mobile money in the context of developing economies has risen in prominence. This thesis adds to existing literature by exploring the how mobile money increases financial inclusion by conceptualizing it as a process with relative stages. Different theories have been

Circular economy is a solution for how to achieve sustainable development in the world. A circular economy involves the recirculation of products and materials, and aims to avoid the creation of waste. For a product to be recirculated, the recirculation needs to be considered already in the design phase. This thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications and explores how to desi

This report investigates how organizations deal with organizational learning during times of crisis. The aim was to contribute with a framework visualizing the most profound drivers and barriers to organizational learning during crisis management, using the covid-pandemic as a case example. A preliminary framework was developed with the literature review as a foundation to do this. An interview gu

Tacit knowledge is valuable because of its hard imitability, this also creates the challenge of spreading it to other employees in the organization. This study describes the phenomenon of tacit knowledge sharing (TKS) in project-based engineering organizations (PBEOs) and is directed at practitioners to allow them to improve their role as facilitators of TKS. PBEOs manage research and design proje

Hela livet är våra lungor livsviktiga organ. För nyfödda såväl som för äldre patienter så finns ett kliniskt behov av säker och kontinuerlig lungövervakning. Några av dagens vanliga metoder för att undersöka lungorna, såsom röntgen och datortomografi, ger endast en ögonblicksbild samt medför joniserande strålning. En ny teknik för klinisk lungmonitorering är nu på frammarch: GASMAS. GASMAS står föGAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a technique to study free gas inside strongly scattering bulk-materials. GASMAS is successful in safely measuring oxygen in lungs of neonates, with low-power tuneable diode-laser spectroscopy at 760 nm. Because a similar need of lung monitoring exists in older patients, this work explores how GASMAS can be scaled up for larger geometries.
