Heterogeneous team collaboration is a fundamental component of Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, DRM teams face complex-dynamic situations characterised by high disruptions, distributed locations and other factors, which create persistent problems for team collaboration. In these contexts, even the smallest improvement to our understanding has the potential to yield enormous benefits to DRM
Under #metoo-uppropet hösten 2017 uppmärksammades problematiken med sexuella trakasserier på arbetsplatsen. Missnöjet har föranlett frågan om det arbetsrättsliga skyddet mot sexuella trakasserier behöver ses över för att säkerställa ett effektivt skydd. Uppsatsen utreder gällande rätt med utgångspunkt i DL, AML samt LAS, för att sedermera konkretisera vilket typer av problem som kan identifieras iOne of the subjects of #metoo late 2017 was the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. Questions were asked whether or not the current labor legislation could ensure sufficient protection against further sexual harassment. This thesis investigates the established law, more precisely The Discrimination Act (DL), The Work Environment Act (AML) and The Employment Protection Act (LAS), in orde
The present customer based and data driven world of business, together with the evolving social and technological trends continue to drive product complexity and product variety to a new height, one that is characterized by product customization. In the product realization pro-cess, the assembly floor remains the most vital part of the manufacturing process; to cope with the rigorous demands of pr
Food waste, within the wider phenomenon of resource waste, has become a global issue due to its direct impact on climate change. Food redistribution via food banks is highlighted as a waste reduction strategy because it not only tackles the environmental impact from food production, but also provides food security to vulnerable people by redistributing the discarded food from food industries to so
Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern
Abstract Introduction: Smoking is a major public health concern, accounting for nearly 700,000 deaths on an annual basis, globally. The socio-economic differences within smoking are well established, reflected in a social gradient that is estimated to account for half of the socio- economic differences in mortality for men aged 35-69 years in developed settings, such as the European region. Aim:
The Swedish migration agency (Migrationsverket) believes that newly sharpened rules for asylum will increase the number of undocumented immigrants choosing to stay after getting a rejected asylum application. Since it is illegal to hire undocumented immigrants many are being "payed under the table" or receive welfare or aid from NGO:s. This essay investigates what one NGO, the Church of
Våldtäkter som ett krigsvapen i väpnade konflikter utgör en av historiens stora tystnader. Det var först under 1990-talet, genom de internationella krigsförbrytartribunalerna i forna Jugoslavien (ICTY) och Rwanda (ICTR), som det internationella samfundet uttryckligen erkände våldtäkt som brott mot mänskligheten. Den Internationella brottmålsdomstolen, ICC, grundades den 1 juli 2002. Det var dockRape as a weapon of war in armed conflicts is one of the history’s great silences. It was not until the 1990’s, through the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), that the international community explicitly recognized rape as a crime against humanity. The International Criminal Court, ICC, was established on 1 July 2002. However, it was not until 201
Bland de mest kraftfulla händelser som människor har observerat är gammablixtar. Blixtarna är korta utbrott av gammastråalning som ibland dyker upp i rymden. Forskare har länge misstänkt att kollisioner mellan neutronstjärnor ligger bakom en kategori av blixtar, de korta gammablixtarna. För några år sedan bekräftades forskarnas misstankar. De kunde då, med det nya LIGO-observatoriet, observera graShort gamma-ray bursts are often observed at large spatial offsets from their host galaxies. Neutron star mergers in double neutron star binaries have also recently been confirmed as a progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts (Abbott et al. 2017). We attempt to constrain uncertainties in the evolution of burst-producing neutron star binaries by generating a distribution of burst offsets from the neutr
Sammanställningen av resultatet visade att Bäljane å har en relativt god status med undantag för mängden organiskt material samt att ån är starkt färgad och starkt grumlat. Lakvattnet visade däremot innehålla signifikant högre halter, i förhållande till Bäljane ås resultat, för alla undersökta parametrar. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka om Bäljane å är en möjlig recipient för ett renat lakvatThe aim of this bachelor thesis was to investigate whether or not Bäljane stream is a possible recipient for treated leachate from a Swedish municipal solid waste plant. This report will see how the current environmental status is in the river and how it will be affected in the future if emissions of treated leachate occur. Earlier studies regarding the environmental status in the river was evalua
Välfärdsbrottslighet är ett problem som har fått mer uppmärksamhet på senare år. De felaktiga utbetalningar från välfärdssystemen uppskattas att uppgå till 11-27 miljarder kronor per år vilket motsvarar 2-4 procent av samtliga utbetalningar. En del av välfärdsbrottsligheten är bidragsbrotten. I förevarande framställning utreds två inom området viktiga lagar, Bidragsbrottslagen och Lagen om underräWelfare crimes are a problem that has received more attention in recent years. The incorrect payments from the swedish welfare systems are estimated to amount 11-27 billion SEK per year, which is 2-4 percent of all payments from the welfare systems. One sort of welfare crimes are the subsidy crimes. To detect and prevent subsidy crimes there are two important laws, Subsidycrimelaw and The law of o
Digital technologies and their significance to society have caused their existence and impact to be referred to as entailing a digital revolution. For businesses, digitalization is the use of digital technologies to create new business models and value-adding activities. The use of digital technologies can in turn result in possible improvements in several areas e.g., productivity. The possible ou
Denna studie har för avsikt att undersöka hur nuvarande och potentiella konsumenter till H&M, ett fast fashion-varumärke, kan ställa sig till och resonera kring digital kommunikation om ett CSR-samarbete med den idéburna organisationen WWF. Två varumärken vars verksamheter motsäger varandra. Studien utgår ifrån ett ontologiskt socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv och ett epistemologiskt gadamerThe purpose of this paper is to examine how current and potential consumers of H&M, a fast fashion brand, interpret digital communication regarding their CSR collaboration with the organization WWF. Two brands whose operations contradict. The study is rooted in an ontological social constructivist perspective and an epistemological Gadamerian hermeneutic perspective. Based on the study's t

Studien syftar också till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagogerna relaterar lärande till utforskande och vilka faktorer som kan påverkar detta. För studien genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med rytmikpedagoger, viThis study aims to examine how teachers of eurythmics describe and relate to the concept of exploration in their teaching, as well as examine how this exploration takes place in their teaching. The study also examines how teachers relate learning to exploration and what factors may have an impact on this. For the study, five semi-structured interviews were done with eurythmic teachers, who teach a
As many societies are digitally transforming, citizens need to adapt and acquire digital skills to participate. Research has shown that low levels of digital skills can increase digital exclusion, and that skills needed to participate in society should be addressed in digital policy. The European Union (EU) with its many citizens has the potential to affect them all through its policies. In this t
The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can als
