Undersökningen visar på att styrning av kunskapsarbetare inte bara görs via normativ styrning, det förekommer också andra typer av styrning så som direkt övervakning/styrning. Studien visar på att kunskapsarbetares aversioner mot mer direkta former av styrning kan överkommas om denna legitimeras och paketeras på ett attraktivt sätt.
A critical review of the history of the discursive formation of Sino-Indian relations suggests that the largely negative mutual perceptions by the Chinese and Indian public and media are opposed by an optimistic discourse of both nations’ political and economic elites. This is also accompanied by a juxtaposed, binary discourse of the bilateral relation by members of the Liberal and Realist camp in
Studiens syfte var att undersöka fem svenska soldaters upplevelser av offensiv krigsföring under sin tjänstgöring i Afghanistan. I fokus låg deras hantering av mental belastning och deras behov av stöd före, under och efter insats. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem soldater som under 6 månaders tid hade tjänstgjort i Afghanistan mellan åren 2009-2012. Intervjuerna analyserades med TThe purpose of this study was to examine five Swedish soldiers' experiences of offensive war technique while serving for 6 months in Afghanistan. In particular, focus was on their experiences of dealing with mental stress and their need for support before, during and after their mission. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five individuals who had served in Afghanistan between the y
Kv. Renen 13 i centrala Varberg är sedan tidigare känt som kraftigt förorenat. På fastigheten har det från slutet av 1800-talet fram till 2003 funnits verksamheter i form av textilindustri som avlösts av finmekanisk verkstadsindustri. Det är framförallt den sistnämnda verksamheten som har orsakat rådande situation med höga halter klorerade lösningsmedel, trikloreten (TCE) och 1,1,1-trikoletan (TCAAn old industry estate, Kv. Renen 13, is located in central Varberg, southwest Sweden, and is known from previous investigations as highly polluted. Pollution started in the late 19th century with textile manufacturing, and in the 1960´s changed into a precision mechanics industry using chlorinated solvents, primary trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), as well as cyanide and meta
Genom att designa hållbara städer med optimerad höjd-bredd av byggnader och gator, samt rikligt med urban vegetation kan temperaturen i tropiska städer minskas avsevärt vilket skulle leda till minskad energiförbrukning och minskad risk för översvämningar.With the urban population growing exponentially the challenges associated with urban development are numerous. The urban heat island effect, rising energy demands and floods are only a few of the problems that large cities face today. With climate change it is becoming urgent to build climate smart cities. The objective of this research project is to identify how the design of a city, based on the
Postpartum depression (PPD) has traditionally been investigated in mothers and only recently the focus has been shifted to men (Goodman, 2004). The current study aims to investigate causes underlying PPD symptoms in fathers, focusing on the role of Masculinity as described by Hofstede (1980) and comparing two countries that differ significantly in this dimension: Italy and Sweden. Data were collec
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.
The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w
Beer is produced by fermenting hopped wort with yeast. The raw materials are water, grain, hop and yeast. One source of taste and aroma in beer is hop, which is typically added during boiling. One reaction during boiling is that α-acid from hop is converted to iso-α-acid, which makes the beer bitterer. Iso-α-acid is responsible for bitterness in beer, but it might also be reacted to other bitter m
This study examines the problem regarding editorial content in fashion blogs being increasingly sponsored by PR agencies and corporations. The research question will answer how this affects the credibility of fashion bloggers and the blog content. A qualitative approach has been used to measure this phenomenon, with quantitative features. Former blog credibility measurements were gathered to condu
Även om intentionen att agera fungerar som prediktor till beteende så har den samlade forskningen visat på en svaghet i intentioners kraft att påverka beteenden. Implementationsintentioner har visat sig effektiva för att skapa beteenden i kongruens med intentioner under en rad omständigheter, bland annat för reglering av emotioner. Implementationsintentioner är påståenden i ”Om ... då”- form som bEven though intentions works as predictors for behavior, research has shown a weak relation between the two. Implementation intentions has been shown to be effective in bridging the gap between intention and behavior, under various circumstances, for example when it comes to emotion regulation. Implementation intentions are ”If... then”-plans that connect a situation to a desired behavior. This st
The main purpose with this essay is to increase the knowledge of product placement in horror movies by examine how fear effects brand recall. The aim is further to get a clearer view of what kind of product placements the different genders remember, focusing on visual and verbal product placements.
Utgångspunkten för undersökningen var en intervjuguide som används på en behandlingsenhet för såväl kvinnor och män som varit utsatta för eller utövat våld i nära relation, som för barn som bevittnat eller varit direkt utsatta för våldet. Analysen visade att våld i nära relation utövas av såväl män som kvinnor men när det gäller utsatthet för mer frekvent våld, i den grupp där terrorvåld förekommeThe starting point for the study was an interview guide used in a treatment unit for both women and men who have been exposed to or exercised intimate partner violence, as well as children who have witnessed or been directly exposed to the violence. The analysis of the source material showed that intimate partner violence is exercised by both men and women but in terms of exposure to more frequent

The paper looks at the ecological crisis as a human crisis of perceptions and values. Its origins can be found in the Western anthropocentric-individualistic worldview whose expansion through the processes of colonization and globalization has allowed the industrial culture to become a global culture. The manifest inability of industrial societies to respond to the seriousness and complexity of en
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) arise from fluctuations in Earths magnetic field and can reach alarmingly high levels and cause malfunctions or blackouts in the power grids in which they occur. AF Klercker Alaküla and Lindahl invented a patented GIC immune transformer which eliminates the effects of GICs, though it is not known how this implementation will affect the transformers behavior

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Inledning Alla typer av verksamheter inverkar på miljön på något sätt, och med miljöaspekter menas aktiviteter som har eller kan ha inverkan på den omgivande miljön. Med miljö avses samspelet mellan allt från människor, mark, luft, vatten, flora, fauna och naturresurser. Om en miljöaspekt är så pass allvarlig att den orsakar eller kan orsaka stor miljöpåverkan, Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev
