Tilltagande rationalisering och globalisering har gjort mat till en handelsvara som följer varans logik i konsumtionssamhället. Studien undersöker hur maten och människans relation till mat förändras som en följd av ett rationaliserat livsmedelssystem. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med så kallade matarbetare betraktar studien den globala utvecklingen av matindustrin från en lokal utkikspunkt. StudiThis paper seeks to understand food in society by qualitative method, seeking out and interviewing food-workers in Malmö, Sweden. The study takes a local perspective on food industry and suggests that local food workers, producers and consumers are engaged in resistance to rationalization and globalization. By applying theories of Baumann and Habermas the study discusses how the modern-day relatio

This is a qualitative study and the aim and purpose of this thesis is to problematise authorities and fashion companies’ objectives and strategies for ecological sustainable fashion. The discussion is based on two questions: Which strategies and objectives do fashion companies and public authorities use for ecological sustainable fashion? Are there any divergence between fashion companies and publ

‘Rewilding’, or the return of degraded lands to a state of ‘wilderness’, is a bold attempt to resolve the world’s ecological challenges. It however does not address the division between nature and society, which lies at the core of the issues. According to Marshall Sahlins (1972) and Nurit Bird-David (1992), indigenous people relate to ‘nature’ in a markedly different way than Westerners. Capturin

Arbetet syftar till att utreda hur det angivna ändamålet i lantmäteriförrättningen styr användningen av marksamfälligheter och vad en samfällighetsförening får göra med en marksamfällighet som de förvaltar. Arbetet avser att besvara vad en samfällighetsförening kan göra med en marksamfällighet utan att det blir främmande för samfällighetens ändamål, hur ändamålet regleras för marksamfälligheter ocThe aim with this master thesis is to investigate how the stated purpose in a cadastral procedure controls the use of joint property units and what a joint property association may do with a joint property unit that they manage. In this master thesis joint property units are compared with joint facilities and properties based on a thesis that a joint property association is allowed to do more wit

Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra till ökad förståelse om företagsrepresentantens roll i Employer Branding-sammanhang. Metod: Flera kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts och studerat sju olika företags strategier inom Employer Branding med ett hermeneutistisk fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt. Uppsatsen har en kombination av deduktiv och induktiv ansats där författarna applicerat releva

Purpose: The overall purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of how performance measurement and management control are designed and used within an art context. The research aims to answer how performance is measured within nonprofit art institution, how the performance measurement has implications for the use of other control mechanisms, and how and why the context affects the per

Denmark and the Netherlands had different approaches to deal with the repercussions of the oil crisis of 1973: Denmark focused on the development of renewables, and the Netherlands developed their natural gas sector. The varying approaches create the possibility to measure and generalize the dynamics of energy innovations on CO2 output in small developed countries. This thesis relates the energy p

In the current study, the aim was to investigate whether attentional bias—an automatic and nonconscious pre-attentive process of filtering sensory information for emotional relevance—could be induced in normal students, by manipulating levels of stress. In a within-subject experimental design where each participant completed 3 word search puzzles, it was predicted that the ratio at which participa

The phenomenon “see now, buy now” results from the impact of the digitalization on the fashion system. By using “see now, buy now”, fashion houses make their collections available to consumers immediately after a fashion show. In comparison, consumers have to wait for six months until the collections are made available under the traditional fashion system. “See now, buy now” was used for the first

This article explores the ideals and motivations behind the increasingly popular physical practice of Crossfit. Through an analysis of data collected through interviews, observation and deep hanging out (and working out) this article attempts to thicken the conventional analysis of lifestyle practices sin late modern capitalism. A product of the contemporary Culture of the Self —that illusive thin

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka ifall det finns någon skillnad i budpremie mellan horisontella och vertikala förvärv. Metod: Utifrån uppsatsens syfte har en kvantitativ inriktning valts. Studien använder sig av redan tillgänglig data som sedan testats i en multipel regressionsanalys. Bortsett från variablerna budpremie och förvärvstyp ingår även sex stycken kontrollvariabler. Teoretis

Experiments at particle colliders provide experimental verifications of theories in particle physics, and allow to search for new particles. Computer programs are used to simulate particle collisions. Those so-called event generators can be used to prove theories and compare their results to actual collisions from the colliders. Even though those programs run on powerful computer systems, the even

The infraorder Ceratopsia, or horned dinosaurs, within the clade Dinosauria, shows a specific, restrained migratory pattern. Therefore, the classical view presented by Sereno (1999), of a monodirectal migratory event from Asia to North America via the Bering’s Strait has been commonly accepted in its simplicity. Another hypothe-sis presented during the same time by Chinnery (1998) suggests a migra

Standardmodellen inom partikelfysik beskriver de kända fundamentalkrafterna och klassifiserar alla de experimentellt observerade elementarpartiklarna. Allmänt sett anses den vara en av de största bedrifterna inom modern vetenskap, tack vare sin förmåga att sammanlänka teoretiska förutsägelser med fenomenologi. Men trots att nästan hela vår förståelse av den subatomära världen ryms i denna modell sThroughout this work we investigate a trinification-based grand unification theory (GUT) with a global family symmetry, as a radiative origin of the Standard Model (SM). We show that after spontaneous symmetry breaking of the trinification gauge group, we can in theory construct an effective left-right symmetric model (LRSM) which breaks to the SM gauge group through radiative breaking induced by

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om historisk handelsvolym innehåller information om framtida aktieavkastning och i förlängningen om en högvolymspremie existerar.

This paper examines conventional bankruptcy prediction models under the thesis that such models perform better when applied to adjusted financial statement data, rather than to reported data. This hypothesis is tested by revisiting already existing bankruptcy models as well as developing two new models for predicting imminent corporate failures. The result of the study reveals that financial adjus

Since the 1950, Europe has been pursuing to mimic the innovative success of Silicon Valley through artificial innovative clusters or science parks. Today, science parks are abundant in Europe, yet research on their performance has mainly focused on their ability to produce successful new ventures. This thesis explores the role multinational enterprises (MNEs) have in the development of competences

This paper investigates the role of ethnicity in regional economic divergence across the Mexican states based on each state’s overall access to government services such as education, public infrastructure and healthcare based on the latest available data. The paper uses Mexico as a case study using the country’s three main ethnicities (Indigenous, Mestizo and European) as dependent variables for r
