‘Green growth’ is a concept that has gained credence in the literature and wider policy-making circles, broadly referring to the implementation of policy and development strategies that encourage economic growth whilst ensuring that environmental wellbeing is maintained and / or improved. However, few examples of ‘green growth strategies’ have been produced to date, and the literature is sparse re

The main purpose of this study was to identify aspects of municipal risk and vulnerability analyses that are of importance to the perceived usability at a regional level. The first part of the study aimed to encode the content of municipal risk and vulnerability analyses from the counties of Scania and Stockholm. The results were then correlated against rankings of the analyses established by the

Author: Lina Carlsiö & Niklas Skoogh Title: Konstruktionen av ett problem – En diskursiv analys kring legaliseringsdebatten av cannabis. Supervisor: Malinda Andersson Assessor: Roberto Scaramuzzino In the fall of 2012 and spring of 2013 there was a debate about a proposition made by the major of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, about a legalization of cannabis. The debate took place both in Swedis

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Utvinning av naturgas ur skiffer ses sedan början av 2000-talet som en energikälla med växande potential på flera håll i världen. Den öländska alunskifferformationen undersöks för att utreda om det finns naturgas att utvinna på ön på grund av formationens höga organiska innehåll. Dess potential synas med tanke på utbredning och mäktighet men också eventuella mil

Den ökade internationaliseringen av företag har skapat mångkulturella arbetsplat-ser. Medarbetare måste kommunicera effektivt för att uppnå gemensamma mål, men kulturella skillnader anses ofta vara en hindrande faktor för kommunikation-en. Syftet med studien har därför varit att undersöka kulturens betydelse för den dagliga kommunikationen mellan medarbetare i internationella företag. Genom en kvaAs a result of globalization we are witnessing increasingly international work-places with employees from culturally diverse backgrounds. To achieve corporate goals and fulfill daily tasks employees at Xylem need to communicate effectively with colleagues that might not share similar frames of reference. Seeking to un-derstand the significance of cultural differences in the international workplace

Significant progress has been made in elucidating genetic risk factors influencing Type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, features other than genetic variants that initiate and/or accelerate islet autoimmunity that lead to the development of clinical T1D remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that genetic and environmental risk factors can both contribute to T1D through dynamic alterations of molecular

Previous research has identified good communication as one of several key factors essential for destination resilience. However, there has been a lack of research on how communication contributes to this development. To address this gap, this study explores the communication work done by Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) with stakeholders to influence destination resilience. The study ex

Walking and cycling are considered sustainable transport modes, promoted as a means to reduce car traffic. In the scientific literature, they have mostly been investigated separately, but should be considered jointly to enable a modal shift. Both daytime and dark conditions need to be studied, to improve understanding of how environmental features are affected by temporal variation. A conceptual m

Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to assess current environmental reporting undertaken by oil and gas companies in Europe with respect to COP 21. Methodology: This study is exploratory in nature. By developing an environmental performance assessment framework incorporating COP 21 requirements and oil and gas industry specific voluntary disclosure guidelines, a qualitative content analysis

The presentation and underlying pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is complex and heterogeneous. Recent studies attempted to stratify T2D into distinct subgroups using data-driven approaches, but their clinical utility may be limited if categorical representations of complex phenotypes are suboptimal. We apply a soft-clustering (archetype) method to characterize newly diagnosed T2D based on

Monitoring a microservice system may bring a lot of benefits to development teams such as early detection of run-time errors and various performance anomalies. In this study, we explore deep learning (DL) solutions for detection of anomalous system's behavior based on collected monitoring data that consists of applications' and systems' performance metrics. The study is conducted in a collaboratio
