The purpose of this thesis is to examine how a transnational European identity is articulated and constructed in the initiatives constituting the “European Education Area” (EEA). Identity is one of the most disputed and dissociated concepts of social sciences and humanities. Despite this, the concept remains pivotal in order to ensure the EU’s legitimacy. Hence, understanding how the EU works in s
Recently, the Government of Indonesia has committed to intensifying geothermal development. In its event, geothermal development is part of global demands and national interests to reduce dependence on fossil fuels as commitments to respond the climate change. However, many geothermal areas in Indonesia are located in peripheral regions which populated with an established settlement of people. In
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are lifelong illnesses that include psychosis and difficulty maintaining stability. These illnesses are also characterized by limited abilities to self-assess and seek treatment when necessary. Informal caregivers of people living with a serious mental illness are often relatives or spouses. The objective of this study was to determine what strategies were used b
I december 2019 rapporterade Worlds Health Organization (WHO) om ett nytt virus som låg bakom flera stycken lunginflammationer i staden Wuhan i Kina. Inte långt senare konstaterade de kinesiska myndigheterna att det rörde sig om ett helt nytt luftvägsvirus som tillhör familjen coronavirus, så kallat COVID-19 (Doktor.se, 2020). Viruset spred sig snabbt över nationella gränser, vilket resulterade i
Samhället, organisationer och individer är idag under ständig påverkan av information och kunskap. För att ta vara på tillgänglig kunskap och information behöver organisationer ha ett aktivt arbete med kunskapsprocesser som i sin tur stöds av olika IT-verktyg. Uppsatsen syftar till att bygga en djupare förståelse för hur IT-konsultföretag jobbar med dessa processer och system för att hantera proje
Spindeln i nätet Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker mellanchefens kommunikativa betydelse i en förändringsprocess med hjälp av fallorganisationen Orango AB. Tidigare forskning har belyst att mellanchefen har en betydande roll i en förändringsprocess men trots det finns det lite forskning gällande deras mångtydiga roll. Studiens syfte var därmed att skapa förståelse för hur mellanchefen upplev
This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
This study aims to investigate the experience of work-related stress among childcare workers. It further explores the ways in which stress can be prevented in the workplace. The study is based on a qualitative research method, consisting of six semi-structured interviews with social workers. The theoretical framework for this study was Karasek and Theorell’s demand- control model. The empirical ma
The aim of this study was to, according to eight managers stories in a service-orientated professions, narrative theory and method, see what factors have made it possible or acted as obstacles to reach a management position and pursue leadership in that position. The used method has been a qualitative analysis with a narrative standpoint and semi-structured interviews. The main results showed that
Based on ethnographic data, this study sheds light on gender (in)equality in Scandinavian workplaces in Ukraine. More specifically, the study aims to investigate how managers in Scandinavian companies in Ukraine present and legitimize company-practices in relation to gender equality. The study is within critical management studies and takes a Butlerian, per-formative approach to knowledge producti
Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks. These problems include needing to document the same information in multiple systems, and difficulties in shift handovers between staff members. The existing product Pulstavlan, developed by Stretch Care AB, aims to solve these issues. However, as the product is stationary, it does not enable staff to bring the i
Through a content idea analysis and neo-institutionalist theory this paper aims to examine the institutional conventions, routines, and strategies characterising Swedish immigrant policy making from 1975 to 2008. Furthermore, the purpose is to depict how integration of migrants has been described in Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU series) and government bills since the formulation of the
The two main objectives of colon cancer screening programs are to prevent and early detect possible cancers in the medium-risk population. Hence, with this paper, I study the following two questions. First, is the program successful at reducing colon cancer mortality rate? Second, what are the key roles early detection and prevention have in reducing mortality rate? To answer these questions, I us
An urban nature experience – an urban park where people can experience and improve the relationship between human and nature. This is an exhibition of nature in an urban environment. Here you can experience the nature with all of your senses; sight, smell, touch, sound and taste. Research has shown that the more people are exposed to nature, the more they appreciate it, and the more environmental
Kriminalvården erbjuder sina klienter behandlingsprogram vilket syftar till att minska återfall i brott. Tidigare forskning har främst undersökt behandlingsprograms effekt på återfall i brott, och få om klientens upplevelse av programmen. Denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka klienternas upplevelse av det KBT-baserade behandlingsprogrammet One-to-One (OTO) som erbjuds på Kriminalvårdens an
Under det senaste decenniet har världen blivit varse om fenomenet ”incels”. Incels har uppbå-dat stor medial uppmärksamhet till följd av två massmord utförda av män som identifierade sig som incels, vilket har föranlett att en relativt endimensionell bild av incels har fått fäste: incels beskrivs som arga och farliga män som hatar kvinnor för att de förnekas sex. Hur väl stämmer dessa beskrivninga
Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a
Light dark matter is a hypothesized form of dark matter in the 1 MeV to 1 GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of light dark matter, by colliding an electron beam with a tungsten target and assembling a set of events that potentially indicate the existence of light dark matter. The three main detector components of the LDMX are a s
