The pressure on businesses to “give something back to society” has increased considerably in the last decades and concepts like Corporate Social Responsibility gained enormous populari-ty. While for many years companies have been distributing cash and goods to charity, attach-ing to the CSR agenda a philanthropic nuance, many companies have recently started to shift away from philanthropic giving
De stora häxprocesserna i Europa ägde rum under 1400- till 1700-talet. Framställningen avser att besvara hur den juridiska processen mot häxeriet var utformad samt förklara hur häxförföljelserna kunde uppstå. Den inkvisitoriska processen var karaktäristisk för häxprocesserna. I motsats till den ackusatoriska processen kunde domaren ta initiativ till rättsliga processer och låta makthavarnas ideoloThe witchcraft trials in Europe took place from the 15th to the 18th century. The purpose of this presentation is to clarify the model of the legal process against the witches and give an explanation of how the witch hunts started. The inquisitorial process was characteristic for the witchcraft trials. As opposed to the accusatory process, the judge could initiate the process and let the ideologie

Recent findings have shown that listening to white noise can improve memory in people with ADHD or low levels of attention. The current study explored whether white noise can improve performance on a test of sustained attention. Participants (N=19) were divided into an attentive (N=10) and inattentive group (N=9) based on the inattention sub-section of the ASRS (Adult Self-Report ADHD Scale). Part
Upprinnelsen till detta examensarbete var att Otis Stockholm, som också leder den svenska verksamheten, saknade en processkarta för nymontageavdelning. Försök hade gjorts tidigare med att göra en processkartläggning, men man hade då inte kommit hela vägen. Man ville nu från ledningens håll ha en karta på processen så att alla gjorde på samma sätt från projekt till projekt. Processen var uppdelad iThe impetus for this thesis was the identification of the need for a process map for processing new equipment within Otis Sweden. The company had tried before to map their process but had not fully developed the model. This time managers wanted a process map to stabilize the process of managing employees to ensure consistency across projects. The process has been spit in two functions, the sales a
Arbetsgivaren har rätt att leda och fördela arbetet för sin verksamhet. Arbetstagaren har samtidigt en skyldighet att utföra arbete för sin arbetsgivare som arbetstagaren sedan betalas tillbaka i form av lön. Arbetsgivaren får däremot inte beordra arbetstagaren att utföra vilket arbete som helst eller omplacera en arbetstagare utanför ramen för anställningen om inte det finns godkända skäl för detThe employer has the right to direct and distribute the work for his own business. At the same time the employee has an obligation to carry out work for his employer in exchange for payment in the form of salary. On the other hand the employer may not order the employee to carry out all forms of labor or decide where the employee shall carry out the work. The essay clarifies what the employer’s wo
Enligt Världshälsoorganisationen finns ett globalt underskott på utbildade sjuksköterskor. Även i Sverige är vårdpersonal som undersköterskor och sjuksköterskor ett bristyrke med en begränsad löneutveckling. Denna studie undersökte undersköterskor och sjuksköterskor inom den offentliga sektorn i Sverige (N = 139). Via en digital enkät undersöktes deltagarnas intentioner att stanna eller lämna sin
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an EU agency, providing scientific advice and standards surrounding risk assessment in order to maintain food safety in Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate how EFSA communicates uncertainty in conditions of their assessment and if the recommended guidelines by EFSA 2019 is fulfilled. 15 Randomly picked scientific articles produced during th
Bakgrund: På grund av krig, förföljelser och kränkningar ökar flyktingströmmarna i världen. Antalet människor på flykt 2021 var 89,3 miljoner. Miljöförändringar som asylsökande och flyktingar upplever påverkar alla aspekter av deras dagliga liv och uppfattning om sig själva. Begränsade möjligheter till meningsfulla aktiviteter i mottagarlandet har en ytterligare negativ påverkan på hälsa och välbeBackground: Refugee flows worldwide are increasing due to war, persecutions and harassments. In 2021 the number of refugees globally reached 89,3 million. Environment changes influenced asylum seekers and refugees in all aspects of daily living and self-concepts. Limited opportunities to participate in meaningful activities in the host country had a further negative impact on health and well-being
Suicide prevention consists of several different types of strategies ranging from strengthening the individuals’ mental health to spatial planning. Studies have shown that preventing suicide within the scope of spatial planning by restricting the accessibility to dangerous sites is effective and helpful. Two Swedish authorities have been commissioned by the government to develop a new national str
The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
In an evermore competitive environment for companies and business, predictive customer behaviour models can give companies a competitive edge over its competitors. Two such important predictive behaviour models are customer churn models and customer lifetime value (CLV) models. As it is more expensive for companies to acquire new customers rather than retaining existing ones, it is important for b
Previous studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory formation have been limited because the design of experiments tended to restrict natural viewing behavior, and thus they overlooked the role of eye movements in memory formation. The goal of the present study is to offer new insights into understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory formation in naturalistic viewing at the leve
Syftet med denna avhandling är att utveckla en ny metod för att producera bilder med syntetisk aperturradar (SAR), med utgångspunkt i scenarier med arbiträr rörelse vad gäller radarsensorn. SAR är en väletablerad metod för att skapa 2- eller 3-dimensionella radarbilder, som traditionellt sett antar att radar-sensorns rörelse är linjär och förutsägbar. Därmed är positionerna för varje radardata-punThe purpose of this thesis is to develop a novel approach to producing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, assuming the scenario of arbitrary motion in regards to the radar sensor. SAR is a well-researched method for creating 2- or 3-dimensional radar images, traditionally assuming the radar sensor's motion to be linear and highly predictable. Thus the locations where each radar data is sam
Tidigare forskning om traumabehandling har framför allt undersökt verksamma behandlingsmetoder kvantitativt. Den här studiens syfte var därför att kvalitativt undersöka vad psykologer upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling av personer med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Intervjuer genomfördes med tio legitimerade psykologer som har klinisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med traumabehandling. En
Managing work and other responsibilities while being efficient and open to work changes has become increasingly difficult for employees. There is even more pressure on social workers, or more specifically, mental health workers given the nature of their job which not only includes working with clients but also making the decision to reject some individuals due to a packed schedule. This study aime
Machine learning algorithms are experiencing unprecedented attention, but their inherent computational complexity leads to high energy consumption. However, a paradigm shift in computing methods has the potential to address the issue. This shift could be a move towards analog in-memory computing, a method which uses Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, and carries out the processing directly where data res
