The progression of fire safety research has contributed to improving the guiding principles of standardised building design. Research making use of pure materials, once common in homes and workplaces, are less relevant as such materials are no longer as prevalent. It is often newer, composite materials that are featured more prominently in building contents. The trend towards the evolution of comm
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
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute to the knowledge on the use of risk management and especially ERM in different context. More specifically the aim is to find what similarities and differences there are in the use of ERM between public and private sector, as well as to find what variations there are within each sector. Methodology: The method used during this multiple case study,
This essay compares the two Swedish municipalities Landskrona and Värnamo, in order to understand the difference in achieved integration on the labor market. By using Mill’s method of disagreement, and conducting interviews with persons with key positions in the integration process, based on theories of integration, the essay reaches the conclusion that authorities can be the difference between su
Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för nuvarande gällande rätt gällande internprissättning I kombination med immateriella rättigheter. Benämningen internprissättning refererar till priser i en transaktion som sker mellan bolag i en intressegemenskap.

This bachelor thesis is based on interviews with six young feminists within the Church of Sweden, and aims to discuss how a combination of feminism and Christian faith is made possible. I am investigating if these women experience personal inner conflicts between feminist values and a Christian faith and then how these women think of and manage these conflicts, and also if they have experiences ba
This article examines how the principle of ‘the best interests of the child’, as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is interpreted, constructed, and applied in court cases involving child custody disputes. These disputes provide a globally relevant example of the CRC’s social dynamics, as they often involve interactions and negotiations among diverse professional groups.
Molecular imprinting technology is a field where polymer technology is utilised to synthesise high affinity particles, much like antibodies. This project has dealt with the imprinting of the neurotransmitter molecules serotonin and histamine. Serotonin polymers were synthesised using methacrylic acid and acrylamide as functional monomers relying on hydrogen bonding for the imprinting effect. None
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to fill the research gap as previous research on the topic of interest lacks a country specific research on how culture effects standardization vs. adaptation by MNCs in emergent markets, in context to a specific advertising strategy. By providing a unique cross-cultural study on five different emergent markets (China, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and CWAR) the re
Kraven gällande maximalt tillåtna gångavstånd till en utrymningsväg saknar förmodligen en direkt vetenskaplig grund. De är dock resultatet av många års byggande där historien visat vad som fungerat. Exakt vad som givit upphov till gångavstånden är fortsatt okänt och det skulle således kunnat vara en praktisk fråga gällande vad som var möjligt att bygga, lika väl som hur stora avstånd städpersonal The allowed travel distance has probably not been determined scientifically. Yet it indirectly takes a number of factors into account and should therefore not only be seen as a distance that takes a certain time to walk, but also as a certain level of safety. Longer travel distances do extend the walking time but it also makes it possible for a series of factors to increase the risk. The factors t
This thesis investigates how authoritarian leaders justify the restructuring of state institutions and the dismissal of bureaucratic officials, with a focus on the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under President Trump's second administration. By applying a critical discourse analysis of two policy documents: an executive order and a memorandum, the study ex
This thesis explores the relationship between two important legal principles in European Union law: the requirement for ‘complete data sets’ in Article 10 of the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and the principle of ‘data minimisation’ in Article 5(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The AI Act requires that high-risk AI systems be trained on data that is representative, a
This paper is designed to examine the validity of the CAPM model in the emerging markets. I took the Indian market to be the case in which we examine the applicability of this model and therefore I decided to perform the study on one of the biggest Indian markets; Bombay Stock Exchange. The SENSEX30 was chosen as the examined index and I performed the study on the 28 listed companies in the market
