The phenomenons called blogging and learning organisations are both contemporary and research is inconclusive (e.g. Easterby-Smith et al., 2000 and Wattal et al., 2009). This study aims to merge the two by means of a participative and exploratory case study on corporate blogging. By use of qualitative interviews and a data analysis focusing on concentrated meanings and thematic categorisation, the

From a post colonial point of view there is reason to question the increasing streams of tourists from North to South, i.e. from former colonialist countries to former colonies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Gambian tourism industry and its meetings, the dialogue taking place, its discourse and the production of post colonial stereotypes. A qualitative interview study with beach

‘Keeping it real’ is a common expression of authenticity in the music business, especially in subcultures such as hip-hop and reggae. By examining the dialogically constructed authenticity between an independent hip-hop and reggae artist and her audience referred to as musical followers which takes place on a stage oscillating between web-based and non web-based contexts, this thesis investigates

Background: Mental health problems are an increasing challenge for primary healthcare. It puts strain on the healthcare professionals with limited time and resources. In several countries, healthcare professionals can refer patients with mental health issues to structured arts programmes, namely Arts on Prescription (AoP). This study explores the qualitative findings from a 3-year study on Arts on

Daylight is crucial for the well-being of individuals in indoor environments, providing numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Achieving satisfactory daylight levels can be particularly challenging during adaptive reuse of existing buildings for new purposes. This study determined the feasibility of adapting an office for residential use by assessing interior daylight availability and

As populations age and multimorbidity becomes increasingly prevalent, the demand for high risk surgical procedures continues to rise. Although short term surgical outcomes in Sweden are generally favourable, evidence regarding long term morbidity and mortality following non cardiac surgery remains limited. This thesis investigates perioperative determinants of long term outcomes, with the aim of i

Objective: The present study compared individual personality traits and demographic variables, i.e. sex, age, and socioeconomic status, in explaining mental health in a large representative adolescent Swedish high school survey. Method: This data collection on 15- to 18-year-olds (N = 10,288, response rate 79 %) was conducted in 2024 and included, for the first time, a brief Big Five personality m

BackgroundCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the most important causes of cognitive decline. Only a few previous studies have evaluated lung function measures in relation to brain neuropathological changes, and even less studies on specific lesions and areas that could shed light on mechanisms of CSVD.ObjectiveThe aim was to study the association between lung function and CSVD in the g

Three-dimensional simulations of the squealer tip on the GE-E-3 blade with eight film cooling holes were carried out. The effect of the rim width and the blowing ratio on the blade tip flow and cooling performance were revealed. Numerical simulations were performed to predict the leakage flow and the tip heat transfer with the k-epsilon model. For the squealer tip, the depth of the cavity is fixed

Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. The prevalence of PN is rising with the global burden of type 2 diabetes. The causal mechanisms of PN are not fully understood, but both vascular and metabolic factors play a role. New methods of investigating PN need to be correlated with standard methods in well-defined, population-based cohorts. Objective

This study will discuss the role of e-commerce in the economic development of Vietnam during 1990 to 2020. During the recent years, Vietnam has had a remarkable economic growth and is seen as one of the promising countries of technological development and e-commerce. However, the country still has a long way to go in economic development. This study accounts for how the new trading market; e-comme

Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun

Runtom i världen arbetar människorättsorganisationer för att fler ska åtnjuta sina mänskliga rättigheter. Att aktivitet resulterar i långsiktig förändring är av intresse dels för organisationen ifråga men även för finansiärer och målgrupper. Att mäta effekt av insatser har dock visat sig vara svårt. Mot bakgrund av det är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka hur tre organisationer (Amnesty InternatiThroughout the world, human rights organizations are constantly working to ensure more and more people can utilize their inherent human rights. These global organizations, along with investors and target groups, strive for permanent results. However, measuring the impact of these organizations’ interventions has proven to be very difficult. Therefore, the purpose of this bachelor thesis is to inve

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted industries across the globe and has forced organizations to respond. One example is the medical technology (medtech) sector in which small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) were impacted and had to respond strategically. Previous literature on crisis management is still immature in respect to strategic responses to this unique crisis. Therefore, the purpose of
