In this study, Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) quality was analysed through its optical properties. Samples from the estuarine waters of the Beagle Channel and oceanic ones of the Burdwood Bank were examined in order to understand how DOM quality was changing. The focus of the study was to determine whether the environmental variables or the microbial community were the main driver in DOM compositi
Due to intercultural encounters becoming more and more frequent in times of globalization, the importance of successful intercultural conflict management has increased. In intercultural conflict, cultural differences in conflict management styles (CMS) can lead to misunderstandings and poorer negotiation outcomes. However, it is yet to be understood if and how individuals overcome CMS discrepancie
Using the respective theories of recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, this master thesis explores how public librarians understand the concept of social justice and how this concept relates to their daily work. It also examines to what extent the recognition theory can serve as an analytical tool in order to understand the social function of the public library. The stud

From music and fashion, to television and film, the decade has made a sustained and emphatic return across many countries. But despite this widespread socio-cultural prominence, ‘the 1980s’ trend has yet to be analysed from a political perspective. Influenced by the ‘aesthetic turn’ movement in

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how a transnational European identity is articulated and constructed in the initiatives constituting the “European Education Area” (EEA). Identity is one of the most disputed and dissociated concepts of social sciences and humanities. Despite this, the concept remains pivotal in order to ensure the EU’s legitimacy. Hence, understanding how the EU works in s
Recently, the Government of Indonesia has committed to intensifying geothermal development.

I december 2019 rapporterade Worlds Health Organization (WHO) om ett nytt virus som låg bakom flera stycken lunginflammationer i staden Wuhan i Kina. Inte långt senare konstaterade de kinesiska myndigheterna att det rörde sig om ett helt nytt luftvägsvirus som tillhör familjen coronavirus, så kallat COVID-19 (Doktor.se, 2020). Viruset spred sig snabbt över nationella gränser, vilket resulterade i
Samhället, organisationer och individer är idag under ständig påverkan av information och kunskap. För att ta vara på tillgänglig kunskap och information behöver organisationer ha ett aktivt arbete med kunskapsprocesser som i sin tur stöds av olika IT-verktyg. Uppsatsen syftar till att bygga en djupare förståelse för hur IT-konsultföretag jobbar med dessa processer och system för att hantera proje
Spindeln i nätet Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker mellanchefens kommunikativa betydelse i en förändringsprocess med hjälp av fallorganisationen Orango AB. Tidigare forskning har belyst att mellanchefen har en betydande roll i en förändringsprocess men trots det finns det lite forskning gällande deras mångtydiga roll. Studiens syfte var därmed att skapa förståelse för hur mellanchefen upplev
This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
