Lean – a frame of reference For about two decades lean production has figured in production industries and it has now reached the public sector. In hospitals lean healthcare has been greeted with open arms but even though communication is a prerequisite for lean to function few studies has been conducted from a communication perspective. Our purpose is to elucidate and augment the understanding of
Syftet med studien var att se om det finns någon skillnad i upplevd psykosocial arbetsmiljö utifrån företagets värdegrunder och mellan de demografiska variablerna generation (generation X födda mellan 1961-1981 och generation Y födda 1982-2002), kön samt befattning. En internetenkät skickades ut till 130 anställda vid IKEA. De anställda var slumpmässigt utvalda från olika bolag inom IKEA belägna iThe purpose of the study was to discover a noticeable relationship between the psychosocial working habitat, seen from the employing company’s values, between sex and function among two variable demographical generations (generation X born between 1961-1981 and generation Y born between 1982-2002). An Internet based survey was sent out to 130 employees at IKEA. The employees had been chosen at ran
Globaliseringen av kulturen, ekonomin och politiken leder till gränsöverskridande interaktioner för många aktörer mellan regioner och länder. I takt med att kommunikationen blir allt snabbare och når allt fler platser ökar kontakten mellan människor och ger ögonblickligen information om händelser från alla jordens hörn. Nya innovationer och medicinska genombrott stärker livskvaliteten och ökar livThe globalization of culture, economy and politics leads to cross-border interactions of actors across regions and countries. As communication gets faster and reaching more places contact between people is increasing and information on events from every corner of the world is accessible. New innovations and medical breakthroughs will strengthen the quality of life and increase life expectancy for
Sociala mediers popularitet har på senare tid växt allt mer, vilket har gjort att även företag har fått intresse för att använda sig av det. Sociala medier erbjuder kommunikation på flera plan genom funktioner som chatt, blogginlägg och inlägg som kan ses och kommenteras av många användare etc. I denna studie har vi undersökt på vilket sätt och i vilken omfattning användning av sociala medier som
The thesis sets out to study the correlation between long-run economic growth and climate, through testing two hypotheses. In the first hypothesis Montesquieu’s climate theory is compared to a modern approach, while in the second hypothesis, natural disaster and disease ecology variables are suggested and tested as growth determinants. In the application of multiple regression analysis two signifi
A substantial part of modern Japan’s workforce consists of men and women employed at corporation offices. These are the Japanese that are known as “sararîman” (“salarymen”) in case of being male, or OL (“Office Ladies”) in case of being female. As one such, it is crucial that one can wield one’s language abilities skillfully in order to be able to make other members of staff fully appreciate and r
Japanese men’s language is, in contrast with Japanese women’s language, an understudied subject. Previous investigations lacks of the single focus that investigates only the men’s language and their sociolinguistic patterns. How Japanese men speak in the Japanese society, is often related to how stereotypical masculine men use their language. Stereotypical views that probably are born from the mas
The Japanese postposition which in this paper is to be referred to as the topic particle wa, is said to be possessing functions which have been thoroughly debated and analyzed by numerous linguists. It has as a result brought upon us a number of distinguishable theories concerning the qualities of this particle, providing us with different analyses to comprehend. Depending on which theory one
This paper investigates if the Log-Normal Mean-Reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck spot price (LNMROU) and the Vasicek (1977) process can forecast Value-at-Risk (VaR) using the Monte Carlo method. The results from LNMROU are validated against Delta-Normal-GARCH (DNG) and Historical Simulation (HS) which are well known approaches for VaR estimations. The backtested results indicated that HS and DNG are go
In the 21st century, science and technology are developing rapidly, but the threats of infectious diseases caused by the fatal virus to human beings are still not eliminated. In history, outbreaks of pandemics usually seriously influenced local economic and financial markets in many ways. This thesis focuses on a pandemic that occurred more than a decade ago, SARS, to investigate the magnitude of
This paper presents research and implementation of a high frequency Integer-N phase-locked loop for digital beamforming in mobile devices. Multiple topologies investigated whereof two were implemented. The transient phase noise of the PLL is -104dB/-95dB @1MHz. The output frequency range is from 8G-10G. Reference signal is 163.84MHz, reference-spurs is -80dBc/-98dBc lower than main frequency. RMS
Pesticides poses a threat to drinking water, especially where the usage is extended, like in Scania, Sweden. The main objective of this study was to identify and characterize substances used in the cultivated area of Degeberga. By the help of interviews with roughly 70 % of the landowners, I identified used pesticides in the area and the soil properties of their lands. Using the geographic informa
The diverse application of unmanned aerial vehicles has rapidly progressed during the last decade and is currently being implemented for medical deliveries in multiple developing countries. Thus far, medical drone delivery systems have successfully been established on a national scale in Ghana and Rwanda by the American company Zipline, currently playing a leading role within the field. The conduc
De flesta arbeten i dagens samhälle kräver att de anställda hanterar sina egna och andras känslor, däribland poliser som arbetar i yttre tjänst med ungdomsärenden. Riktlinjerna för polisernas arbete med ungdomar utgörs främst av Polislagen (SFS 1984:387) och lagen (SFS 1967:167) med särskilda bestämmelser för unga lagöverträdare. Det finns dock inga explicita riktlinjer för hur poliser ska hantera
The main purpose of this paper is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the (re)integration of startup into the parent organization and its effect on the organizational members, organizational culture, and identity which adds to the overall topic of mergers and acquisitions. Following an interpretive and abductive research approach allowed us to switch between theory and empirical material.
The purpose of this Thesis is to investigate the Mexican religious phenomenon of Santa Muerte and the mediatization that both simplifies and sensationalizes her. By investigating public Santa Muerte shrines and prayer cards in Guadalajara and Mexico City, by interviewing devotees in both cities, and by looking at media depictions of Santa Muerte, this project will explore how mediatization affects
This thesis investigates the social position and political agency of women excombatants of the Farc-EP who laid down their arms after the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Farc-EP. I show how, through the laying down of arms and reincorporation, women ex-combatants come to occupy a specific social position under historical and global power relations and intersecting for
Previous research has analysed the relationship between women’s labour market outcomes and family policies in the general context of the European Union or among OECD countries. The current dissertation investigates the effect of a set of family policy’s instruments on women’s labour market participation and maternal employment in the countries of Southern Europe – Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal
The recent tightening of the Danish Aliens Act in 2019 has brought about an emphasized notion of temporality to temporary residence permits for refugees in Denmark. Temporality, in the eyes of the Danish government, is a sign to refugees, that their stay in Denmark should only be considered temporary, and that they should one day return to their countries of origin. But for refugees who have no no
