Redan för nästan 100 år sedan insåg myndigheterna i USA att man genom myndighetsgemensamt arbete bäst bekämpade den grova organiserade brottsligheten. En av frontfigurerna i USA:s undre värld och ledaren för ett mycket kriminellt och våldsamt nätverk, Al Capone kunde till slut lagföras och då för ett skattebrott. Jag ville undersöka om sådant myndighetsgemensamt arbete finns i Sverige och i så fal
Arbetsmarknaden är under snabb och ständig förändring. Faktorer såsom globalisering, digitalisering, teknisk utveckling, ökade utbildningsnivåer och att jobben blivit mer kunskapsintensiva gör att nya kvalifikationskrav ständigt uppkommer. Att arbetstagare sägs upp på grund av att de saknar tillräckliga kvalifikationer blir allt mer vanligt. Samtidigt förespråkar politiker ändringar av turordningsThe labour market is undergoing rapid and constant change. Factors such as globalization, digitalisation, technological development, increased educational levels and the fact that jobs have become more knowledge intensive mean that new qualification requirements are constantly emerging. The dismissal of workers due to lack of sufficient qualifications is becoming more common. At the same time, pol
The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. Due to the role of the IMF as an input variable for
Generally credited to have originated in 2005, coworking spaces provide hybrid work environments to individual professionals, entrepreneurs, and start-ups.

This thesis aims to provide an empirical exploration of the ways in which coworking spaces facilitate social entrepreneurship, seen fro
To successfully deploy radical innovation is crucial for companies to stay competitive. An important role play intrapreneurs who take over the responsibility to develop an idea. As the processes of many companies are not made to support this kind of innovation intrapreneurs need to rely on their social capital to overcome barriers for radical innovation. This inductive, single-case study uses qual
In this thesis the possibility of automatically generating a blueprint of an indoor area, for example a grocery store, using a smartphone camera and images from existing analytic or surveillance cameras was examined. The method used for the transition between 2D camera images and 3D reconstruction was Structure from Motion. Besides the blueprint, two other key features was implemented. One of thes
Godssektorn spås bli en tidig användare av självkörande fordonsteknik. Minskade drivmedelskostnader, ökad flexibilitet i ruttplaneringen och utökade drifttider är exempel på incitament för godsföretag att ställa om till en självkörande lastbilsflotta. Automatiseringen kommer mest sannolikt ske gradvis. I tidiga skeden spås självkörande lastbilar (AT:s) ha en konservativ körstil där körfältsbyten uThe truck sector is thought to be one of the first adopters of autonomous driving technology. Reduced fuel- and labour costs, increased flexibility in scheduling and increased hours of service, are all incentives for the freight companies to go autonomous. The automation of the truck fleet is likely to be gradual. At first, autonomous trucks (AT:s) are expected to have a conservative driving style
The view of FDI and its impacts has shifted throughout history. In conjunction with globalization and liberalization, new opportunities have emerged which have allowed FDI, in its current state to flourish across the globe. South-South FDI has emerged as a cross-border investment of developing and transitional economies to create lasting links with economies of similar structures. The purpose of t
Nowadays, many industries are investing a lot of resources in the development of new technologies that interpret hand gestures and use them as a communication interface between the user and the system. However, the surveillance industries have remained on the sidelines of this technological development. Instead, the joystick and the mouse are the most common devices found in control rooms. Using t
With the underlying idea that vocabulary is seen as an essential part of language studies, this essay sought to find out how teachers of English in upper secondary schools in southern Sweden perceive of vocabulary teaching and learning, what methods for working with vocabulary are used in the English classroom, and how they relate their teaching of vocabulary to the syllabus for English. The data
Allt fler organisationer genomför digitala transformationer för att kunna effektivisera och för-bättra interna affärsprocesser. Denna studie fokuserar på hur komponenter från CIA-triaden och den mänskliga faktorn påverkar informationssäkerhet och varför dessa är viktiga att ta i beaktning vid genomförandet av digital förändring. Vidare definieras digital transformation i studien som en digital för
Today, the use of business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) is an important factor to the success of organizations. There is a need to effectively analyze data in order to gain a competitive advantage and not lose its place in the market. With digitalization the amounts of data are rapidly increasing, leading to new challenges for to be able to handle it in a cost-effective way. At the same t
The stylized fact that stock markets are not perfectly liquid propels banks to incorporate liquidity risk in the risk metrics so that market risk can be managed properly. Disregarding liquidity risk can lead to an underestimation of overall risk and substantial losses. This is particularly true in emerging markets where illiquidity problem is more severe than in developed market economies. Liquidi
Problem: Green-green businesses face more challenges than conventional businesses; however, the research surrounding their challenges is rather limited. The role that values play for the ecopreneurs and how these influence the way that they run their businesses is a neglected field of research. Purpose: Our research aims to explore the role that values play for ecopreneurs in making business-relat
Thesis Purpose: The aim of this research project was to uncover the meaning of extraordinary experiences for consumers’ identity projects and to understand how extraordinary experiences, rather than brands and possessions, can be used for self-presentation and self-extension. Methodology: Following Van Manen’s method for hermeneutic phenomenological research combined with Derrida’s notion of deco

The state of the environment and human’s impact on the environment has been widely acknowledged and discussed over the past years. The EU realized there was a need for environmental regulations and laws in 1972 and in 1993 the environment became an official part of their politics. The aim of this paper has been to find out whether it is possible to both increase trade and at the same time decrease
Svårigheterna med att se reduktion av järnoxid med vätgas på atomnivå Jag har undersökt hur järnoxid omvandlas till järn med hjälp av vätgas. Detta gjordes i ett elektronmikroskop för att kunna följa hur atomstrukturen förändras under processens gång. I mikroskopet är dock trycket lågt och elektronstrålen tillför stora mängder energi. Jag undersökte dessa begränsningar med flera och visar i rappoThis thesis aims to explore how the reduction of iron oxide by hydrogen should be explored in an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM). This is done by performing a series of reduction attempts in the ETEM at nCHREM, Lund University, and exploring how the ETEM conditions are different from those used commercially. Various reduction parameters are explored, the presence of water vap
