My main research question is; How does Identity, kinship and belonging operates in the reception of texts, written f

Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka kunskapen om och problematisera begreppet socialt entreprenörskap genom att undersöka vilka olika erfarenheter som finns i utvecklandet av Mötesplats Stapelbäddsparken i Malmö och att analysera dessa processer med hjälp av Austins begrepp möjlighet, individ, resursmobilisering och värdeerbjudande. Austin m fl. (2006) har utvecklat ett ramverk för socialt entreprenör

This interpretive study, taking place in the context of the IT-company Ericsson, aims at exploring the engineers’ understanding and experience of organizational control. The study builds on data gathered through semi-structured interviews, which are analyzed by taking the lenses of discourse theory. The study firstly shows the engineers’ understanding of control as something ‘bad’ whilst contrasti

Since the beginning of democracy the South African government has been increasingly trying to attract FDI into the country. South Africa is an interesting case, since despite being a middle income country and highly developed compared to other African countries, FDI does not seem to offer positive spill-over effects. This paper critically assesses existing theory on the nexus between FDI, absorpti

This study examines the effect of dual role advisors in acquisitions on shareholder value creation for both the acquirer and target. Dual role advisors are advisors that provide both advisory services to either the acquirer or target and are involved in underwriting or syndicating securities issued to finance the deal. Previous studies find that being a dual role advisor can create a conflict of i

Mobility is becoming an even bigger part of people's lives in our global society. People travel more than ever and the forecast says it will not slow down. Business traveling has become a big part of this mobility, and especially aeromobility, therefore it is a topic worth further investigation. This study focuses on the relation between hypermobile business travelers' behavior and how the

This thesis evaluates the correlation between coloring and metal content in plastic flooring. Metals in a plastic matrix is expensive to analyze and often seen as a lesser environmental issue than asbestosis, phthalates or chloroparaphines. However, if it is possible to narrow down the metals required for the evaluation by telling by the color which metals should be analyzed, you can lower the pri

This thesis focuses on the lived experiences of ethnic minority women in an analysis of employment and citizenship in a Danish context. The empirical material consists of six semi-structured qualitative interviews. These are analysed using feminist and postcolonial theories of citizenship and nation. The thesis has two focal points. Firstly, the analysis covers how the informants relate to norms o

Den miljörättsliga regleringen av Senegal floden är mer fortskridande än internationell rätt. Med fortskridande menas i denna uppsats hur situationen är för medborgarna i aktuella vattendragsstater. Miljöskydd och den mänskliga rättigheten till vatten sammanstrålar på vissa punkter och hypotetiskt så kan de internationella miljörättsliga reglerna om förebyggande av förorening av sötvatten stärkThe environmental regulation of the Senegal River is more progressed than the international law stipulates. With progressed regulation in this thesis means how the situation and circumstances are for the citizens of the current riparian states. The protection of environment and the human rights are on the point of converging and hypothetic the international environmental rules to prevent pollut

By studying different types of ovens, both new and old I created a suggestion for an interface applicable to future ovens in the IKEA oven range. In order to create interactive appliances with the advanced technology existing today I believe we have to look back. The complex possibilities created by the availability of LED and touchscreens have made the daily cooking harder for “the many people”.

Äldre personer riskerar i större utsträckning än yngre att utveckla malnutrition. Malnutrition uppstår på grund av otillräckligt intag av näringsämne vilket i sin tur leder till obalans i kroppens fysiologiska processer. Bakomliggande sjukdomar, läkemedelsinteraktioner, åldrande i sig är orsaker som kan leda till malnutrition. Malnutrition medför fysiska, psykiska och sociala konsekvenser. Därför

In this work, an existing cooling tower, created for educational purposes, was modelled and simulated. The model was solved in Matlab using the built in function ode15 and it was eval-uated by implementing both absorption and process control. The implementations were per-formed in the simulation only. The model was deemed to be fit for the existing tower although there were unfortunately some unc

De senaste 30 åren har antalet människor i världen som lider av övervikt nästan fördubblats och idag är mer än 1.4 miljarder vuxna överviktiga. Sjuksköterskor möter allt fler av dessa patienter i sitt dagliga arbete och det är därför viktigt att stödja dessa patienter. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan i omvårdnadsarbetet kan stödja vuxna med övervikt och fetma. Upps

Diskrimineringen på den svenska arbetsmarknaden är ett stort problem eftersom vissa grupper då stängs ute från arbetsmarknaden. Även om vi lever i ett heterogent samhälle idag i Sverige så tycks inte denna mångfaldsbefolknings resurser tillvaratas på ett rättvist sätt ute på arbetsmarknaden. Anställningstillfället då beslutet om anställning sker är centralt eftersom det då sker en social uppdelnin

Unsustainable consumption is today an acknowledged global problem which is set to only get worse unless major changes take place. Our society is based on a linear model where unlimited resources serve as fuel for increased consumption. Even though awareness among consumers is growing, there are still many consumers who are unaware of the effects of their consumption on the environment. However, th
