Human Resource (HR) professionals are often positioned between organizational management and employees, a role that involves balancing competing expectations, responsibilities, and values. While previous research has highlighted HR’s strategic and administrative functions, less attention has been paid to how HR persons themselves experience and manage this intermediary position in everyday practic

Syftet med studien är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur behovsanställda upplever tillhörighet på arbetsplatsen. Uppsatsen avser att belysa de faktorer som betraktas mest väsentliga för denna upplevelse, samt att synliggöra hur organisationer, utifrån medarbetarnas erfarenheter, kan arbeta för att främja och stärka känslan av tillhörighet. Uppsatsen utgår från en kvalitativ metod med en hermeneutisk

Forskning visar att det i flera organisationer råder en osäkerhet kring HR-funktionens roll. Hur detta påverkar HR-praktiker är ett område som är relativt mindre utforskat. Syftet med denna uppsats är således att fördjupa kunskapen om HR-funktionen genom att undersöka hur HR-praktiker uppfattar sin roll, funktion och arbetstrivsel, samt vad de anser som centralt i sitt arbete.

This study examines how formal and informal barriers are manifested within an ESF-funded labour market project in Sweden and how these barriers affect participants’ opportunities for labour market establishment. Despite strong policy ambitions to promote inclusion and gender equality, previous research indicates that labour market interventions may reproduce unequal outcomes in practice. Therefore

When particles are dispersed in a microfluidic device, its resonant frequencies can be used to manipulate their positions at will. This practice, called acoustophoresis, has been shown to successfully control multiple particles simultaneously with a single vibrating actuator, which is a low-cost and contactless alternative to existing particle manipulation methods, and whose applications include i

Oskarhamn 3 är en av Sveriges sex kärnreaktorer som fortfarande är i drift. O3 konstruerades på 1980-talet och många centrala system och komponenter är fortfarande orginal. Eftersom reaktorn planeras vara i drift i minst 20 år till finns tydliga incitament till modernisering, bland annat genom digitalisering. Detta examensarbete syftar till att bidra till denna modernisering genom att undersöka hu

Induction heating of carbon fibre reinforced plastics, CFRP, has a great potential within different application areas, such as induction welding and curing of thermosets, due to fast and energy efficient heating. Simulation models can obviously be valuable for example during optimization. This article shows how temperature distribution during induction heating of CFRP based on woven fabric can be

This paper contributes to the geography of transitions literature by conceptualizing transition trajectories from a multi-scalar perspective. It combines an institutional perspective of transitions with conceptions of scale from human geography to derive a framework which explicates how (de-)institutionalization and re-scaling mechanisms condition different transition trajectories. Our conceptual

The focus on cancer rehabilitation has increased, but breast cancer patients still report unmet rehabilitation needs. Since many women today will live long beyond their diagnosis, there are multiple challenges for the healthcare system in supporting these women in their new life situation. A more individualized approach is seen as necessary to optimize the rehabilitation for survivors. Pathographi

The increased use of cloud and other large scale datacenter IT services and the associated power usage has put the spotlight on more energy-efficient datacenter management. In this paper, a simple model was developed to represent the heat rejection system and energy usage in a small DC setup. The model was then controlled by a reinforcement learning agent that handles both the load balancing of th

A Circular Economy (CE) calls for the value of materials and products to be maintained and recovered through narrowing, closing, and slowing loops. However, there remain challenges in moving up the waste hierarchy and not only recycling materials from products, but also capturing value through reuse of components in refurbished and repaired products. In this paper, we examine the practice of “harv
