Sustainability is an ever increasing field of interest in business management. However, the notions of sustainability are elusive and its implications are not always clear. What is clear though is that being sustainable can enhance a corporate organisation’s competitive advantage. Risk management in general, and fire protection in particular, can be argued to inherently provide benefits of a susta

Under de senaste decennierna har det noterats en ökning i användningen av betong och armering i svenskt brobyggande. Utvecklingen har starka kopplingar till den förändring av byggnormer som skett, framförallt införandet av Eurokoden år 2011. Vår studie undersöker trender i materialanvändning i plattrambroar över 50 år och sambandet mellan materialanvändning och plattrambroars skadetillstånd.Over the past few decades, a notable increase in the utilization of steel reinforcement and concrete has been observed in bridge construction in Sweden. This trend is partly explained by changes in regulations, such as the adoption of Eurocode standards. To understand the reason behind this significantly increased usage in materials, a quantitative analysis of the steel and concrete used in concre

Infärgning av vita blodkroppar för att möjliggöra blodanalys Kvantifiering av vita blodkroppar kan vara en snabb och enkel lösning på att diagnostisera olika sjukdomstillstånd. Genom att färga in de vita blodkropparna i ett blodprov kan man lättare analysera dem och då få kunskap om hur de ser ut och kunna räkna dem. Men vilken färg är faktiskt bäst för att färga in vita blodkroppar och vad finns

The aim of this thesis is to explore jets traversing the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)created in Pb-Pb collisions. This is done in the simulation program XSCAPE with a center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV. By categorising the jets by their azimuthal angle with respect to the event plane angle, the path length dependence of the energy loss was studied. The path length classification was described with the

This study investigates the potential loss of memory details as a consequence of making successful associative inferences using the associative inference (AI) paradigm with naturalistic stimuli mimicking realistic interactions (AB,BC,and AC). It also aims to further our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of integrated memory representations—whether through integrative encod

This essay gives insight into fatherhoods relationships with societal issues often connected with masculinity by researching the effect of paternity leave on male suicide, domestic violence, and general violence in Sweden. Correlation analysis and linear regression was used on governmental data over Sweden’s municipalities. The results confirm implications of previous literature in that that highe

This thesis focuses on flexible work, known as telework, that is done through the use of information communication technology (ICT) devices in the entertainment, new media and arts sector. Fieldwork was conducted with independent professionals who work either as a producer / director, editor or motion graphic artist for the entertainment, new media and arts sector in the Los Angeles area. When wo

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan kohesion (sammanhållning) och effektivitet i arbetsgrupper, vilket mättes i enkätundersökning med en svensk översättning av Group Environment Questionnaire - Work Team Version och Team Effectiveness Scale. Studien ville undersöka i vilken grad upplevd kohesion korrelerar med upplevd effektivitet inom arbetsgrupper på en polisstation medThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cohesion and efficiency in work teams, as measured by a Swedish translation of the Group Environment Questionnaire - Work Team Version and Team Effectiveness Scale. The study examined in which extent perceived cohesion correlates with perceived efficiency within workgroups at a police station with policemen working on the field.

Det blir allt vanligare att företag producerar separata CSR- och hållbarhetsrapporter. Men tidigare studier av denna kommunikationskanal har lagt fokus på innehållet och inte på hur rapporterna påverkar bilden av företagets hållbarhet.
