Många individer upplever höga stressnivåer på arbetsplatsen. Denna uppsats avser att utforska sambandet mellan olika aspekter som påverkar arbetsrelaterad stress i organisationer. Studien undersöker sambandet mellan fem individuella variabler: identitetshot, rädsla för negativ evaluering, självmedkänsla, arbetsposition och genus. I denna studie antas identitetshot och rädsla för negativ evalueringMany individuals experience high levels of stress at work. This paper aims to explore the relationship between elements that could generate and reduce levels of stress in work organizations. Specifically, the current research looks at the relationship of five individual difference variables: identity threat, fear of negative evaluation, self-compassion, work position, and gender. Identity threat a

Nyckelord: Agentteori, Motivation, Studentnationer, Ideellt arbete, Hierarki. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka vilka motivationsfaktorer som ligger bakom ideellt arbete på studentnationer. Studien ämnar därmed att utveckla det område inom agentteorin som berör icke-monetära incitament, det vill säga hur man kan skapa motivation till att följa direktiv och riktlinjer mot principalens mål när monetärKey words: Agency theory, Motivation, Student nations, Volunteer work, Hierarchy. Purpose: The purpose is to examine which motivational factors are the underlying reasons for volunteer work at student nations. The purpose is also to develop the area within agency theory that regards non-monetary incentives, in other words how to create motivation towards following directives and guidelines towards

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur tillit skapas i en samverkansprocess. Mer precist ämnar studien att undersöka hur medverkande i en samverkansprocess bestående av flertalet organisationer uppfattar att tillit skapas. Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med respondenter från Malmö Stads samverkanssatsnin

Today, an increasing portion of the world's population is moving from one country to another every year to work. In recent years there has been a feminisation of labour migration where women from developing countries respond to shortages in care work in developed countries, as domestic workers. Hong Kong is today considered one of the best places of destination for foreign domestic workers. Ev

The aim of this thesis is to establish whether a neural network (NN) can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - retrieved from the computationally demanding dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS). It has been devoted to elaboration with various types of neural network architectures: Branched NNs capable of processing in

The raw material tier in companies’ supply chains can be a hotspot for sustainability issues like deforestation and resulting legal, reputational, financial and operational risks – yet companies’ supply chain management efforts as well as research on sustainable supply chain management still focus on direct suppliers due to poor upstream transparency. With technical progress, remote sensing and sa

Följande studie behandlar framtida biogasproduktion i Europa. Målet är att identifiera i vilka länder som det finns förutsättningar för tillväxt av produktion och användning av biogas samt möjligheter för en lönsam biogasproduktion i industriell skala. Med industriell skala menas en biogasanläggning som har en installerad kapacitet större än 2MWgas och kan därmed uppnå en lönsamhet vid produktion The following study addresses the future biogas production in Europe. The aim is to identify the prerequisites for growth of production and utilization of biogas as well as opportunities for profitable biogas production on an industrial scale. By industrial scale is meant a biogas plant that has an installed capacity greater than 2MWgas and can thus achieve a profitability in the production of bio

Högvalenta järn (IV)-oxo-komplex, där en oxidjon (O2-) är bunden till järnjonen, är ofta väldigt reaktiva molekyler och tros spela en viktig roll i många biologiska reaktioner. De antas vara de aktiva deltagarna i de reaktioner som så kallade oxygenas-enzymer utför. Med förhoppning om att kunna utnyttja dessa reaktioner industriellt har mycket forskning riktats mot att syntetisera kopior av dessa Oxygenases use molecular oxygen to oxidise a plethora of biologically important reactions. To gain access to these reactions on a synthetic, and in the longer run, an industrial scale research focused on mimicking the active oxidant species, synthesis and reactivity studies of high valent Fe(IV)-oxo complexes that function as mimics of the active sites in iron oxygenases has been performed in the

This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence that social control has on one’s tendency to obey the traffic regulations, in contrast to the new amendment in Swedish law from 2018 that states that it is no longer allowed to use a mobile phone while driving a vehicle. A combination of Emilé Durkheim's sociology and Talcott Parsons ideas regarding socialization laid the foundation for who and

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

The shape of a Belleville washer ring is optimized with the purpose of tailoring its mechanical response. The optimization is carried out using structural shape optimization with regards to large deformations. In order to accurately model boundaries, B-splines are utilized as they are closely related to the de facto-standard used in most of todays CAD systems. Furthermore, the structural analysis

This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of activism, specifically the culture of political activism at the level of the individual lived experience. Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (2014) draws from Antonio Gramsci’s concept of cultural hegemony and develops a theoretical framework for how social movements can effecti
