Much has been written on dialogue within academic literature. It has been situated as one of the most ethical forms of communication, and it is becoming one of the most prominent theories in public relations. However, the concept remains ambiguous, and a link between theory and practice is still lacking. Against this background, this study investigates dialogue initiatives that have been taken wit

It presents a new framework for analysing the relationship between the brand vision and brand image. Furthermore, it compares and contrasts the brand activism of two different fashion companies.
Representative democracy is the most fast growing political system in the world. The politician, however, plays various roles within his representative assignment. This paper shows that there are divergence between the representatives’ normative position and her political actions. The aim of this study is to understand what representation is and what we can expect from the representative. The main
Numerous geometric problems in computer vision in- volve the solution of systems of polynomial equations. This is true for problems with minimal information, but also for finding stationary points for overdetermined problems. The state-of-the-art is based on the use of numerical linear algebra on the large but sparse co- efficient matrix that represents the expanded original equation set. In this
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Virtual Visit Tool is a computer tool containing a total documentation of the delivery ward of Ystad Hospital in Sweden. Virtual Visit Tool places the user within a photo-realistic simulation of the delivery ward. This pilot study has two aims: 1) to analyse how pregnant women walk through the virtual delivery ward and to see what catches their attention during the virtual wal
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between incipient dementia (ID) and hospitalization for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) among people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the peripheral joints.METHODS: Among individuals aged 51-99 years residing in Skåne, Sweden, in 2009, we identified those with a doctor-diagnosed OA and no dementia during 1998-2009 (n = 57,733). Treating ID as a
Tunnel structures play an important role in Sweden’s infrastructure. At shallow depths, a common construction method is the so-called “Cut-and-Cover” tunnel, where the tunnel placement is excavated, cast in concrete on-site, and then backfilled. Such tunnels are typically subjected to constant water pressure, which yields high demands on crack control. Cracking in elongated concrete structures oft
The Swedish law for gender assignment in certain cases (Lag (1972:119) om fastställande av könstillhörighet i vissa fall) was adopted in 1972 to regulate the gender confirmation treatment and legal sex reassignment of intersex and transsexual persons. This essay aims to illuminate the coproduction between science and society that made the law as well as its accompanying institutions and regulation
Uppsatsen beskriver gällande rätt vid umgängestvister rörande barn och dess föräldrar i FN:s Barnkonvention, i den europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna och i svensk rätt. Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av gällande rätt undersöka huruvida umgängesreglerna innebär en rättighet eller en skyldighet för barn att umgås med föräldrarna. This paper describes the current law concerning the right of access between children and parents in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and in Swedish law. The intent of this paper is to discuss whether the current law regarding access makes it a right or an obligation for a child to
In today's business environment, organizations rely on information systems to store and process the information constantly gathered. These systems are used to support the everyday needs of the organization. It is apparent that many of these systems has limited or no analytical capabilities, can the introduction of a decision support system could enable practitioners to benefit from this can th
This paper departs from the notion that urban green and blue spaces provide health benefits by aiming to map other meanings of urban nature in Malmö. These meanings are explored from the perspectives of 1) how urban nature is defined by people in Malmö, 2) which functions urban nature is said to have, 3) what kinds of emotional connections to urban nature are presented, and 4) which kinds of value
The main goal of this project was to investigate how the thermal stability of two different types of polyhydroxyalkanoates; poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) were affected when washing them with acid solution. Initially, four different acids were used: citric acid, hydrochloric acid, formic acid and acetic acid. Citric acid gave the best results for both biop
Many houses of the “miljonprogrammet” is now facing a major improvement need, and not least in terms of energy improvement, Drottninghög in Helsingborg is one such area. It is a houses from Drottninghög that is used as an example in this report. The energy improvements addressed in this report is mainly concerning construction improvements. The building from Drottninghög is poorly insulated whit t
This thesis investigates the ergotropy and usability of a certain quantum battery. The ergotropy is the maximum extractable energy of a cyclic process. First, the battery from a previous thesis is recreated and then this battery is investigated in terms of its ergotropy. The battery is proven to not only be charging but also have an equal increase in ergotropy, hence all of the charged energy is u
The main sustainability goal of many small islands in the North Sea is to become self supplied in renewable energy in 20-30 years. The majority of the islands are trying to repeat Samsø‘s success – to make a transition towards energy sustainable system by new energy production from local renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass. However, for other islands like Spiekeroog island, a tourist
Mutual Funds with focus on Socially responsible investments (SRI) have been around and steadily growing since the 1960s in the Swedish and international market. There has been plenty of research done on these funds abilities to beat the market. Most findings are consistent with the notion that it costs to be good and therefore the funds do not generate any risk adjusted excess return. What about
I samband med att kommersiella uppdragsavtal om juridisk rådgivning träffas är det inte ovanligt att avtalsparterna samtidigt avtalar om att begränsa rådgivarens ansvar med hjälp av en så kallad friskrivningsklausul. Syftet med användandet av sådana klausuler kan vara att kanalisera avtalets risker till den part som besitter bäst kapacitet att hantera risken. En annan anledning kan vara att man soWhen a commercial contract regarding legal services is concluded, the liability of the legal advisor is often limited by agreeing on a so-called exemption clause. The purpose of agreeing on such a clause may be to channel the risks of the agreement to the party with the best capacity to manage the risk. Alternatively, a contracting party could have an interest in using the clause simply to reduce
