This study will consider the link between trade openness and the preferences for social policy of key actors. In so doing, the findings will contribute to better understanding the qualitative link between globalization and social policy expansion (the compensation hypothesis) and complement previous quantitative findings. Given the importance of corporatism for the relationship, this study conside

This thesis explores how subjects are constructed within the labour market program called Trelleborgsmodellen, or the Trelleborg Model. It focuses on the Labour Market Department within Trelleborg Municipality and how economic welfare applicants and street level bureaucrats are constructed in the policy. The analysis is based on policy document and interviews with labour market secretaries at the

Det Västra segmentet och Mediansegmentet i Idefjordenterrängen omarbetades under metamorfos och migmatitbildning under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen (ca. 1 Ga), men det råder fortfarande oklarheter kring tidpunkterna för dessa händelser inom och mellan de två segmenten. Denna studie visar att Svekonorvegisk metamorfos och associerad migmatitbildning inte är samtida i Västra segmentet och MedianseThe Western and Median Segments of the Idefjorden terrane have been metamorphosed and migmatized during the Sveconorwegian orogeny (ca. 1 Ga), but the timing of these events between the two segments remains unclear. Here I show that Sveconorwegian metamorphism and associated migmatite formation is not coeval between the Western and Median Segments and that there is a contrast between the segments

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the distinction between diversity and inclusion in managing diversity, thereby elucidating the effects of workforce diversity in the organization. We drew upon the combination of two frameworks regarding diversity perspective and diversity climate to examine the reflections of diversity and inclusion in the organization. The

Improving energy efficiency in buildings is an important part of the EU’s ambitions to address climate change and other environmental, social and economic challenges. This is a role that is traditionally taken on by varying levels of governments, each level addressing elements that fall within their areas of jurisdiction. In today’s increasingly decentralised and yet simultaneously complex, integr

The aim of this project is to analyse planetary boundary layer height (BLH) measurements from the Hyltemossa research station and find their dependence on seasonality, time of day, and air temperature. Further, investigation was made into the correlation between mass concentration of particulate matter with equivalent diameter

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse how a CSR strategy can create a competitive advantage using the CSR Stage Model in a comparison between MAX and McDonald's. It was found that a majority of consumers value a fast-food restaurant’s CSR work and take that into consideration when choosing between restaurants. Moreover, the survey respondents perceived MAX to be the most sustainable fast-foo

Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a

Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre

Bergslagens malmprovins är känd för att innehålla stora Zn-Pb-Ag- och Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-sulfidförekomster med tillhörande järnoxidskarn och många studier har fokuserat på att förstå dessa förekomster. Cu-Co-förekomster som Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten har emellertid fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten är en disseminerad och åderstödd Cu-Co-mineralisering som förekommer i en 1,89 Ga ryoliThe Bergslagen Province is known for containing major Zn-Pb-Ag and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulphide mineralizations with associated iron-oxide skarns and a lot of research have focused on understanding them. However, Cu-Co deposits like the Vena-Dampetorp deposit have received less attention. The Vena-Dampetorp deposit is a disseminated and vein Cu-Co mineralization hosted primarily in a 1.89 Ga rhyolitic to

Many students struggle when transitioning from upper secondary school to higher education. While there is a substantial amount of research regarding the difference in education from isolated perspectives, little research has investigated the connection between different perspectives. This paper studies the relation between language competencies and language learning strategies within the EFL conte

The climate crisis is upon us and our planet is crying out for help. This thesis is a story about the young people that have chosen to answer the call and take action.

Purpose: The purpose is to provide a nuanced understanding of organisational cultural differences, obstacles associated with the human integration process and management strategies to overcome them. Theoretical Framework: Organisational cultural differences are treated as stemming largely from the organisation’s task environment, influenced by industry and function. Human integration is the proce

Prevalens av värd för malariaparasit hos fåglar i de svenska fjällen Fågelmalaria orsakas av protozoer, en parasit som tillhör släkterna Haemoproteus, Plasmodium samt Leucozytozoon. Dessa parasiter har utvecklats tillsammans med fåglar i miljontals år och skapat olika varianter. Forskare har estimerat att det finns lika många malariavarianter som det finns fågelarter runt om i världen. Med en st
