Syfte: Uppsatsen syfte är uppdelat i två nivåer. Det grundläggande syftet är att studera om metoo-rörelsen har satt spår i svensk och brittisk hållbarhetsredovisning. Uppsatsens mer övergripande syfte är att, med hjälp av teori om nationell kultur och institutionell teori, undersöka vilken relation uppmärksammade samhällsfenomen har till redovisningspraktik. Metod: Uppsatsen tillvägagångssätt innePurpose: Fundamentally the purpose is to study if the metoo-movement has affected sustainability accounting in Sweden and in the UK. Using national culture and institutional theories, the more general purpose of examining the relationship between social phenomenon and accounting is carried out. Methodology: The approach consists of three stages. Firstly, a quantitative content analysis of the dat

In today’s car industry more and more focus is put on autonomous driving and driving assistance. There are functions being developed that are supposed to assist the driver as well as functions that will be fully autonomous. Parking is an area where car companies are developing a lot of functions related to driver assistance and autonomous driving. One of the main reasons for this is that a lot of

Som verksam barbershopdirigent och sångcoach har jag ett stort intresse för att bredda min kunskap om hur jag kan arbeta med intonation i grupp. Jag vill också ta reda på vilka tankar dirigenterna gör sig omkring hur de skapar förståelse bland körsångarna för det gemensamma arbetet. Denna studie undersöker några barbershopdirigenters syn på intonation, samt hur de arbetar med intonation i kör. StuAs an active barbershop director and vocal coach I have a great interest in broadening my knowledge about working with groups and intonation and to find out how other directors reason around creating an understanding for the chorus work among the chorus members. This study examins a few barbershop directors' views on intonation and how they work with intonation with their choruses. The study a

We present a Bayesian and frequentist comparison when forecasting elections through polls. Our focus is on studying the differences of these approaches in forecasting elections. An evaluation of the fit is performed using the odds ratio. We propose a frequentist methodology for prediction horizons three months ahead while a Bayesian methodology may be slightly more accurate for shorter prediction

In this report, hybrid films of carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) have been prepared to evaluate if the GNs can enhance the barrier properties of the CNF films. CNF already possess great barrier properties at low relative humidity (RH) but it is drastically lowered when the RH reaches above 50% due to its strong hydrophilicity of CNF. This report shows tha

Mitt examensarbete är ett förslag på hur Lantmännens betongsilos i Frihamnen i Stockholm kan omvandlas till en publik märkesbyggnad i form av ett bibliotek. Frihamnen står inför en omfattande stadsutveckling, där silosarnas framtid är oviss. Likt andra silos i attraktiva lägen är risken för rivning stor, något jag tycker vore en stor förlust för såväl platsens karaktär som klimatet. Projektet unde

China has ever since the 1990s emerged as a manufacturing superpower, following its liberalized trade reforms and its entrance to the World Trade Organization. This has caused China to expand their exports substantially, in particular to the OECD countries. This has lead to an increasing debate on whether, or to what extent, increasing manufacturing exports from China to the OECD countries has con

Barnamordsbrottet ansågs under 1600-talet i Sverige vara den mest samhällsfarliga handling som kunde begås och gav lagstiftaren något vi idag skulle kalla som moralpanik. Moralen låg i att värna äktenskapet genom att fördöma de som ingick sexuella relationer innan äktenskapets ingående. Paniken kan illustreras genom att allt strängare straff och till slut oåterkalleliga straff utdömdes. Nya lagaInfanticide was considered in the 17th century in Sweden to be the most societal subversive act that could be committed and gave the legislator something we would call moral alarmism. The morality implied condemnation of those who entered a sexual relation before marriage. The alarmism is illustrated by increasingly severe punishments and ultimately irrevocable punishments were imposed upon the wo

What is the use of political fiction and its allegory in a language education context? The aim of this paper is to analyze the relevance of this literary genre to curricula, English language learning, and EFL classrooms. The specifically political content of this genre, its allusion to real-world happenings, and the linguistic aspects of the texts may be pedagogically instrumentalized and host a p

Denna studie undersöker inverkan av förvärv på nyligen börsintroducerade företags långsiktiga prestation. Studien kombinerar teorier om börsintroduktioners prestation på lång sikt respektive teorier om hur förvärv påverkar ett företags prestation. Antalet observationer i studien är 154 börsintroduktioner fördelade på de större börserna i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Finland och Island. Studien påvisar

Den visuella smaken - reklamfotografiets roll vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser är författad av Karin Winblad vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet, höstterminen 2018. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa reklamfotografiets roll i det offentliga bildspråket vid de värdeförändringar som sker vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser med fokus på status och visuell estetik. För

Bakgrund: DT undersökningar av kolon har blivit allt mer vanligare vid diagnostisering av sjukdomar i colon. Vikten av en god förberedelse är grunden till en god undersökning samt för diagnostiseringen. Syfte: Syftet är att belysa patienters upplevelser av förberedelser i samband med DT undersökningar av kolon. Metod: En litteraturstudie har valts som metod där studien inkluderar både kvantitativa

Children and youth's right to make their voices heard, as well as the right to partake in different matters, has strengthened with laws and guidelines (Socialstyrelsen, 2003). The aim of the study is to examine the experience of employees in their work with socially vulnerable children and adolescence - with a focus point on the right to participation in different matters. The study includes q

This is a qualitative study with the objective to find an understanding for how social workers who work with people affected by honor-related violence, receive and investigate the phenomenon and to illuminate their knowledge on the subject. We collected women´s stories from a source that contains authentic anonymous narratives and prepared one “story” as a vignette. It was presented accompanied wi

It is well known how important belonging and to be part of something is for us humans and our well-being. Other utterly important foundations for us and our sense of freedom are safety and accessibility. LGBT-research has profoundly been conducted on larger cities, but lacking substratum on how mentioned factors affect people living in smaller cities. In this paper, I try through interviews unders

Far-field three dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) data acquired by repetitive acquisitions with a beam much smaller than the sample width is sometimes referred to as scanning-3DXRD. We here analyse the scanning 3DXRD approach and present a novel reconstruction technique capable of reconstructing intra-crystal variations in crystal structure from a set of recorded 2D diffraction patterns. The m

The main purpose of this master thesis was to test a novel approach of finding leads for new pharmaceuticals, by using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) in combination with Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC). Put in a more concrete way, the objective was to find a lead for a better human neutrophil elastase inhibitor. The plan was to take advantage of the fact that the tripeptide Valine-Proline
