Problem: Diversity management är i sig ett relativt nytt begrepp inom management litteraturen. Den tar upp olikheter mellan de anställda på arbetsplatsen. Teorin belyser till stor del genus och etniska minoriteten. Det finns forskare som även tar upp ålder, handikapp eller sexuella preferenser. Dessa är tre växande kategorier av befolkningen och det bör belysas mer i dagens litteratur. Vi har valt

The cruise industry has over the last few decades had an extensive growth. More and more people are going on cruises today than ever before. To a smaller destination, the economic impacts of cruise tourism are significant. On the other hand, it can also create an unbalance when it comes to environmental and social issues at the destination. The purpose of this paper is to, from a Triple Bottom Lin

This thesis consists of an initial environmental investigation of the Sparbanken Öresund. The Bank currently has an environmental policy and ambitions from 2011 but no one has been responsible for implementation of them. In addition, upon my review of the policy and ambition list I found that there were neither measurable objectives nor procedures for how those objectives will be met, thereby crea

The restrictions on China´s capital account is the major restrictive factor for the international use of the RMB. The potential international status of the RMB must be included into the consideration by the monetary authority in designing the pace and form of liberalizing the restrictions, because, in general, the potential international status directly induces the potential benefits and risks. Th

The shortage of accessible water in the world is especially severe in arid regions, where many are already living to the limits of survival. In such areas, the conditions are in fact getting more extreme due to climate change and a growing population. The share of water is to be distributed for human use, as well as agriculture, which is why irrigation with lower quality water is essential. In add

Recent research indicates that several neurological diseases that affect motor functions could be diagnosed using analysis of detailed arm and hand motion. This analysis has earlier been carried out manually by looking for certain mo- tion patterns in patients and animals performing a skilled reaching task. In this thesis we investigate the possibility of performing these tests in a more auto- mat

Humanity has a complex relationship with the natural world. One aspect of this relationship is that of dependence on the services that the natural world provides. Commonly referred to as ecosystem services, these are services such as the provisioning of freshwater, timber, and medicines, the regulation of climate, and the maintenance of air quality. This relationship is especially important in the

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genen MYCN kodar för N-Myc, ett protein som fungerar som transkriptionsfaktor, det vill säga det kontrollerar vilka gener som transkriberas aktivt från DNA till RNA. Många neuroendokrina tumörer, speciellt neuroblastoma, uppvisar ofta onormalt höga nivåer av N-Myc, och eftersom N-Myc startar transkriptionen av många gener som är viktiga för cellens delning, tillvThe gene MYCN encodes a transcription factor with a fundamental role in many neuroendocrine tumors, especially neuroblastoma. The gene and protein are very similar to the closely related c-Myc protein, except for the 3´untranslated region (3´UTR), suggesting that it may be an important factor in determining their very different expression pattern at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNA (miRNA)

Electrocardiograms have, since the beginning of the 1900s, been used as a noninvasive diagnostic method to reflect underlying heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. Novosense AB has developed a new technology for completely wireless recording of ECG. Their goal is to replace the stationary patient monitors and telemetry systems. Unlike today's technology, where a c

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer amongst males in the western world. Today’s diagnostic methods for prostate cancer that rely on PSA measurement are not satisfying. The level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is determined in a blood test. Of the men with elevated PSA levels only 25 % have prostate cancer. This thesis aims to develop a proof of concept for a miniaturized multiple

The wave of protests in the Middle East, that started in Tunisia at the end of 2010 and brought about President Ben Ali’s removal from power took the world by storm. The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of the coercive apparatus in the outcome of the uprising, by examining the factors that affected its will and capacity to repress popular mobilisation. The four factors outlined as affecti

Kulturmejeriet i Lund är en unik inrättning som underhållit kulturlivet i Lund i flera decennier. Denna studie söker insikt i vilka krafter som drivit utvecklingen av en välbesökt och väl förankrad förening med en bred och trogen publik. Problemformuleringen lyder: Vilka drivkrafter ligger bakom framgången med kulturhuset Mejeriet? Resultat: Tre tydliga drivkrafter har definierats: Kamp – Vilket

Under den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen skapas material som brukar benämnas lagförarbeten. Några av de viktigare är kommittébetänkanden, propositioner och utskottsbetänkanden. Sedan lång tid tillbaka använder sig domstolarna av sådana förarbeten när det anses att lagtexten inte ger tillräcklig ledning. I vissa fall har förarbetena en helt avgörande betydelse för domstolarnas avgöranden. FörarbetsPreparatory works such as, e.g. investigative reports, propositions, and committee reports, are created during the Swedish legislative process. The courts have, by tradition dating back many years, used these preparatory works as a source of law when interpretating acts of legislation. In some cases, preparatory works are the determinants for the courts’ rulings. The use of preparatory works has a

The tendency to buy goods and especially services is increasing in our society. This has strongly affected the retail markets in Finland during the last decade. The consumers are affected by the dynamic society, which have set new challenges for consumption. Shopping centres are similar to each other and therefore the experience can be a determining factor when choosing the shopping centre. A shop
