Bygg utgör världens största industri och branschen står därför inför stora utmaningar, då projekten förväntas färdigställas med god vinstmarginal samtidigt som det ska levereras med kortare byggtider, byggas med rätt kvalitet och helst till lägre kostnader. Detta ledde till ökade krav på branschen som utvecklades för att säkerställa att alla byggprojekt uppfyller samhällets och beställarens krav p

The purpose of this master thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of managerial humor in the workplace and find out how it influences employees' commitment in contemporary organizations. This report contains qualitative research in the interpretivist tradition in the form of a single case study. Ten in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather the empiric

The aim of this project was to investigate suitable prototyping methods to be used during the development of horn loudspeakers. Different methods were tested to investigate how well they replicated the original loudspeaker based on acoustical performance. The methods were also evaluated based on other requirements such as cost, manufacturing process and ability to handle complexes shapes. The meth

This paper analyzes the impact of reproductive outcomes on women's participation in their family's decision-making and on the share of the household's resources allocated to them. It also examines the effects on labor, time use, and health-related outcomes. Two main sources of variation in reproductive outcomes are used: an increase in the number of children, instrumented by the event

The objective of the degree project was to assess the average thermal transmittance and the climate impact of the façade. The studied prefabricated façade panels were the aluminium frame one, the insulated concrete sandwich and the wooden frame panel. The research approach consisted of five steps: the physical and thermal requirement of the panel was established; then the initial U-Value of each p

Hur skapar vi hållbara åtgärder? Hållbarhetsarbetet i kommuner behöver påskyndas, men visste du att just kommunen är en av de viktigaste spelarna för att bekämpa klimat-förändringarna och nå våra globala hållbarhetsmål? Målsättningar såsom Agenda 2030 används ofta till strategier på olika maktnivåer, och för att uppnå dessa mål för hållbar utveckling, pekas den lokala nivån ut som en mycket viGlobal development goals such as Agenda 2030 often serve as local guidelines for municipalities and research highlights the local power efforts to be significantly important for achieving sustainable development. The UN predicts a continued increase in urbanization and due to its multifaceted role, municipalities are expected to have an advantageous space to tackle difficulties and explore solutio

Listening to employees in a crisis is simultaneously more difficult and more important. This presents a problematic and vicious cycle for organizations. Although employees play a central role during a crisis, only a limited amount of research has been done to learn more about their perspective in the field of crisis communication research. Therefore, this study aimed to better understand the role

Denna uppsats undersöker den medialt uppmärksammade “short squeezen” som ägde rum i GameStop i januari 2021. En “short squeeze” är ett fenomen där en hastig och substantiell prisökning sker i en aktie till följd av ett behov för investerare med korta positioner att likvidera dessa. När investerarna likviderar dessa positioner bidrar de till en ökad efterfrågan på aktien vilket orsakar den hastiga

The aim was to examine nurses and healthcare counselors reasoning about support for children as relatives of patients in adult psychiatric inpatient care. The healthcare law in Sweden, 5:7 HSL, describes children as entitled to information, advice and support by healthcare professionals when living together with adult relatives that have mental health illness. Previous research shows that children

The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests brought national attention to the issue of police brutality against black Americans. Across the US, millions of people participated in the protests. This study was conducted with the aim to study news coverage of those events from a socio-legal perspective. The purpose was to better understand the nexus of social movements, news media, and the law through t

The purpose of this study was to analyze hospital social workers experiences of asking patients and relatives about violence within the family. This study was based on a qualitative research design where we interviewed six hospital social workers at two children's hospitals located in the southern part of Sweden. We analyzed the collected data with selected theoretical perspectives about profe

Machine learning has acquired a lot of attention in the economic forecasting literature in recent years. In this thesis we forecast Swedish energy consumption and compare the forecasting performance of a machine learning technique with that of more traditional time series models. In fact, the LSTM neural network is compared with ARIMA and VAR forecasts. We conclude that in our setting, while these

The purpose of the study has been to investigate family therapists experience of working with families where a parent has mental illness. More specifically, how they experience obstacles and opportunities in this work and which forms of knowledge that get expressed when they describe their work with these families. The study has a qualitative approach, and six semi-structured interviews were condu

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskan har en nyckelroll att genom sitt förhållningssätt, bemötande och kunskap om olika strategier, minska den preoperativa oron hos patienten inför anestesi. Denna studie har sin utgångspunkt i personcentrerad vård utifrån anestesisjuksköterskans perspektiv för att undersöka vilka strategier anestesisjuksköterskan använder sig av för att minska oron. Syftet: Var att be

In this work we investigate the spin correlation effect of the interference between signal and irreducible background events present in top quark pair production at the LHC at LO in the dilepton channel. To simulate the high energy proton-proton collisions of the LHC, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework is used as an event generator. The spin correlations are explicitly measured via the lepton kinematics

Work-related threats and violence is a common problem that many social workers have to handle frequently. The definition of this phenomenon is ambiguous and social secretaries have to learn how to handle these types of situations. This bachelor thesis will focus on how they perceive this and how they cope with it, as well as the consequences of their perceptions and coping strategies. To answer th
