I denna abduktiva kvalitativa studie har tolv medarbetare från två sydsvenska kommuner intervjuas för att förstå upplevelser av omställningen från fysiskt kontorsarbete till hemarbete under Coronapandemin, samt hur det har påverkat upplevelsen av medarbetarengagemang i och med den digitaliserade informella kommunikationen. Genom tidigare forskning och teorier kopplade till organisationsförändring,In this abductive qualitative study, twelve co-workers from two Swedish public organizations are interviewed to understand their experiences of shifting from office based work to working from home, and how this shift enforce the experience of engagement through digitalized informal communication. Through previous research and theories on organizational change, change communication and sensemaking,

In the perpetuated absence of wide-ranged aging-related programs in Indonesia, more than one-quarter of the elderly population rely on the family especially adult children, resulting in the prevalence of three-generation households. This research seeks to explain the underlying motive and the practice of caring for the elderly parent from the vantage point of adult children that act as the main su

Power reduction is becoming a critical design requirement for ASIC/SOC designers. Reducing both dynamic and leakage power is essential to meet power budgets for portable devices as well as to ensure that these ASICs meet their packaging and cooling costs. In addition, the power of an ASIC has a significant impact on its reliability and manufacturing yield. Also, low-power has become a leading des

People who desire more-than-one gender are still facing social exclusion as well as exclusion from LGBTQ communities. Moreover, specific bi+ spaces are rare and bisexuals are often not part of them. Where, then, do bisexuals belong? In order to answer this question, this thesis explores the everyday experiences of bi+ people using Relief Maps and in-depth interviews. I build on theories around emo

Purpose: This paper aims to empirically investigate if pre-pandemic risk-capital was able to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employees and investments in the airline industry Method: The base econometric methodology used is multiple regression analysis with the four risk capitals interacting with a dummy variable for the year 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Theory: Th

Studien ämnar bidra till den existerande kunskapen om avfallshantering genom att undersöka Sveriges system för insamling av smått avfall från elektronisk och elektrisk utrustning (sWEEE) samt identifiera förslag för en ökad insamlingsgrad. sWEEE definieras i studien som avfall från småelektronik, det vill säga elektrisk och elektronisk utrustning vars samtliga dimensioner i ett kompakt tillstånd uThis study examines Sweden's collection system for waste from small electronic and electrical equipment (sWEEE) and identifies proposals for increased collection rates. Sweden is generally considered at the forefront of managing electrical waste, but the recycling rate of sWEEE in 2008 was only 10-25%. The rest was incorrectly sorted as household waste. It is uncertain where in the world it en

What does Candida have in common with vaginal microbiota? We share our body with millions of microbes, which share a common space and interact tightly. All the interactions between them are important for keeping a good microenvironment. However, there is always a disruption of what should be otherwise a comfortable place to live. Such changes can be subtle or can affect entire communities of micr

Within strategic communication crisis communication is a relevant part of public relations in which practitioners developed guidelines for effective crisis communication (Seeger et al., 1998). Furthermore crisis communication is also relevant in political frames and political leaders need to know how to communicate during a crisis situation such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic is a

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disease without curable treatment. COPD is divided into stages of increasing disease severity GOLD I – IV, with GOLD IV being most severe. Pathophysiological changes in COPD include chronic pulmonary inflammation, irreversible small airway remodelling and emphysema and found to be driven by hypoxia, inflammation and oxidative str

In the new normality brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, most governments have to adopt containment measures in order to control the spread of the virus. This paper addresses the adequacy and effectiveness of containment measures implemented by the 19 dierent autonomous regions in which Spain is subdivided. The study focuses on the heterogeneity and lack of simultaneity of measures applied by the re

Simulation of systems is used in several fields of science as a tool for safe and resource-efficient testing, as well as a tool for prediction. In this thesis, the goal is to produce an accurate simulation of a collaborative robot arm, together with a controller solution. The robot is supposed to learn and perform contact-rich tasks. Impedance control is often the suggested control strategy for su

Syftet med detta masterarbete är att kartlägga de svenska översättningsmotsvarigheterna till de spanska modala adverben SIN DUDA (’utan tvivel’), med varianterna SIN DUDA ALGUNA, SIN NINGUNA DUDA och SIN DUDA NINGUNA (’utan något tvivel’), och DESDE LUEGO (’naturligtvis’). Materialet som undersöks är Europarl Corpus, en parallellkorpus med förhandlingsreferat från Europaparlamentet. Deskriptiva an

Much academic literature has explained the success of radical right parties across Europe in the last few decades through the increased importance of the sociocultural, conceptualised as the GAL-TAN, or libertarian-authoritarian, scale. The late rise of the Sweden Democrats, long considered an exception to the rule, as a successful radical right party, has attracted some academic interest and

This thesis is a critical, feminist ethnographic research of one of the most extremist and violent movements that originated from the growing online anti-feminist ideology. Based on a feminist poststructuralist epistemological tradition, this thesis researches the growing Incel movement through feminist cyber-ethnography, netnography and feminist content analysis. The analysis bases on a dataset o

The usage of Artificial Intelligence is gaining popularity in many industries nowadays, triggering professionals to communicate about these disruptive changes in their industries. One industry has been looked at more profoundly: the executive search industry. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain more insight into the exploration of communicated strategies by professionals

Ätandet. Det finaste vi har. Vi firar med mat, sörjer med mat och samlas kring mat. Att äta ihop är ett givet sätt att mötas och en självklar del av livet. Detta i kombination med en generell växande vilja att äta utomhus, av fri vilja, men också påtvingad i och med pandemin, får mig att fundera på möjligheterna för ätande utomhus i staden. Jag konstaterar att ätande ute i stadsmiljö i de flesta fEating together is a given way of meeting people and major part of life. This, combined with a general growing desire to eat food outdoors makes me think about the possibilities for eating outdoors in the city. I note that eating out in an urban environment is in most cases directly connected with a compulsion nto consume. There is a shortage of places in the urban space where it is possible to ea

Research Problem and Objectives: Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Over the last years, scholars have discussed that climate change has disproportionate impacts on people as the result of their social, political and economic conditions. Such an argument has led to the inclusion of gender in the climate change debate. However, gender in the climate c

A well-known debate among proponents of natural properties concerns the very nature of such properties. On one extreme, known as Dispositionalism (or the ‘powers’ view), the essence of a property is given by the nomological or causal role(s) it plays. Properties are powers, existentially exhausted by how they affect the actual and potential behavior of their instances. On the other, known as Categ

Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. Vegetation optical depth (VOD) is one such product and is obtained from the microwave domain, both passive and active. It measures the degree of a
