Ethics is increasingly recognized as one of several important dimensions of performance. Yet, performance audit, or value-for-money audit, as conducted by supreme audit institutions (SAIs), does not typically include this dimension. Instead, the focus is on the classical ‘three Es’ (efficiency, economy and effectiveness). The reluctance to address issues of ethical misconduct has taken the audit p
Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e
This paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical, dielectric (possibly lossy) shell. The sources to the problem are located inside the spherical, dielectric shell. Two different source configurations are investigated - an off-center located electric dipole and a circular Huygens surface. An exact modal series solution of the transmission problem is found and the solutThis paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical,dielectric (possibly lossy) shell.

This work aims at studying photoionization dynamics from atoms and surfaces at attose time scales. The work was based on development and applications of a high repetition rate High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) light source that utilizes Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) laser technology. The laser system delivers few-cycle pulses in the near infrared (IR) at a repetition rate of 200 kHz.

The utilisation of biomass instead of fossil resources is an important alternative for the transition into a sustainable society. Biomass, owing to its primary constituents—cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin—has the potential to replace many products that are produced from fossil resources today, including plastics, textile fibres and fuels. To fully exploit this potential, all of the components
As part of the IEA-SHC Task 41 'Solar Energy and Architecture' an international survey was carried out. This paper presents its results for Subtask B which especially focuses on methods and tools for solar design applied by architects. Building professionals, mainly architects, were contacted via email and asked to participate in a web-based questionnaire about their use of methods and tools for s
Background: Growing worldwide evidence shows that the experience of sexual coercion is fairly prevalent among young people and is associated with risky sexual behavior thereafter. The causal mechanisms behind this are unclear but may be dependent on specific contextual determinants. Little is known about factors that could buffer the negative effects of coercion. The aim of this study was to asses
De senaste åren har svenska domstolar ställts inför en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål. Invändningen gäller sexsomni vilket innebär att den tilltalade begått den sexuella handlingen i sömnen och att uppsåt för handlingen således har saknats. När åklagaren i dessa fall inte lyckats motbevisa invändningen har domstolen tvingats fria den tilltalande från ansvar. En tidigare historia av somnambulism elleIn the past few years Swedish courts have been faced with a new objection in cases concerning rape. The objection is that of sexsomnia which means that the defendant committed the sexual act in their sleep and therefore lacked criminal intent for their actions. When the prosecution in these cases have not been able to offer evidence to disprove the objection, the courts have had to present a non-g
The aim of this thesis was to explore the effects of climate change and the resilience efforts in Greenland by utilizing the resilient framework as suggested by Becker (2014). There was a focus at the official governmental level. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with informants from different departments within the Greenland Government. Government documents were also analyzed. The resul
I dagens samhälle finns en allt större press på varumärken att stå ut ur mediebruset samt att kommunicera kring hållbarhet och CSR. Detta gör brandingstrategier högst nödvändiga, trots detta är det ännu ett relativt outforskat område inom marknadsföring av evenemang. Tidigare forskning visar på studier baserade på konsumentens perspektiv samt under tiden av det faktiska evenemanget. Däremot är forIn today’s society, brands face pressure to stand out and to communicate about sustainability and CSR efforts. This makes branding strategies necessary, yet it is a rather unexplored area within marketing of events. Previous research of events shows studies from the consumer’s perspective based on when the event takes place. However, less focus is put on how event brands engage the audience before
Based on the extensive criticism surrounding the victimization of women in the women, peace and security agenda discourse, this essay seeks to analyze the discourse after the adaption of resolution 2122, a widely recognized step in the direction to focus more on women’s participation. The aim of the study is thus to analyze the discourse around women’s participation and agency on a global and nati
This study is a qualitative study of women who have been exposed to violence in close relationship. We have chosen to focus on how women who have been exposed to domestic violence, present themselves and the perpetrator in mass media. We are also interested of studying how these women present the consequences of the violence in mass media. The analysis is accomplished by qualitative content analys

I slutet av 2019 presenterade Kommissionen meddelandet om den gröna given – EU:s nya tillväxtstrategi för att nå klimatneutralitet 2050. Den nya strategin fick till följd att Kommissionen tog initiativ till en revision av TEN-E. Ett av TEN-E:s syften är att underlätta genomförandet av PCI vilka antas enligt särskilda urvalskriterier i artikel 4 TEN-E. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur dessa urvalIn 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two
