Bakgrund och problemformulering: Omvärlden påverkas ständigt av förändringar i form av exempelvis trender och teknologiska utvecklingar som sker i snabbare takt. Det har därför blivit allt viktigare för företag att kunna analysera och förutspå sin omgivning för att bättre förstå i vilken riktning den rör sig i. Detta arbete studerar tillvägagångssättet vid omvärldsanalys inom svensk livsmedelsinduBackground and problem: The environment is constantly affected by changes in forms of trends and technological developments. It has therefore become increasingly important for companies to be able to analyze and predict their environment to better understand in which direction it will go in the future. This thesis paper studies the process of Business Intelligence within the Swedish food industry

Background Drug use disorder (DUD) clusters in families due partly to shared environment, including sibling influences. Low academic achievement (AA) in adolescence increases DUD risk. This study examined whether low AA in an older sibling causally increases DUD risk in younger siblings. Methods We studied all Swedish full sibling pairs (n = 309,666) born 1972–1985 and ≤ 5 years apart. Older sibli

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased substantially in recent decades. Physical activity is a key component in improving metabolic and overall health in children with obesity. The Swedish Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) is an established method for promoting physical activity, yet knowledge regarding its applicability and acceptability in paediatric

The role of the CIO has undergone a complex transformation over the past three decades, evolving from a function which purely consisted of technical support and administration towards a high-level position of senior executive responsibility and business management. A considerable body of research exists on the role of the CIO as well as desired leadership capabilities and the CIO relationship with

Described as a societal cornerstone, forests in Sweden are part of both its history and in the modern day era that is characterized by contemporary challenges such as climate change and globalization. This thesis is a case study that revolves around the dichotomy between conservational interests and industrial interests with a focus on the Swedish forestry sector and its connection to Swedish welf

The rise of social media platforms in the early 2010’s marked a shift in public diplomacy practice resulting in the emergence of “digital public diplomacy.” This chapter explores the evolution of digital public diplomacy by emphasizing digital culture as a significant source of social and political change in a broader societization of diplomacy. Moving beyond a narrow focus on digitalization, it a

Surface tension is crucial for nanowire vapor liquid solid (VLS) growth models and simulations of growth under external stimuli. A promising method involving imaging droplet deformation under an external electric field has previously been used to report the surface tension of the AuSi eutectic catalyst on Si-nanowires. However, simplified assumptions in this approach led to a significantly lower v

Old-growth forests have profound roles in the provision of biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. These forests and their protection are threatened by structures within the Swedish Forestry Model and Sweden’s attitude towards the European Union’s environmental and climate policies relating to forest management. A literature review and semi-structured interviews employed through a mixed-meth

Our thesis investigates the comparative interpretations of democracy in the opinions of the European Committee of the Region (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). Using the mixed methods of a qualitative content analysis and a discourse analysis, we assess the extent to which, how and why democracy is unevenly interpreted at the CoR and EESC; relative to their joint remits a

Studiens syfte var att undersöka anknytningsmönster hos patienter med bipolär sjukdom. Vilket anknytningsmönster var mest framträdande hos patienter med bipolär diagnos? Fanns det samband mellan stämningsläget och skattade anknytningsmönster? Självskattningsformuläret Relationship Questionnarie (RQ-Swe) användes som mätningsinstrument. Även frågor om patientens kön och ålder och stämningsläge stäl

Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh

Personlig varumärkning är ett koncept som innebär att varumärken och dess image till stor del identifieras med en person. Personliga varumärken kommer med stora fördelar, exempelvis att en djupare relation etableras mellan organisation och konsument, vilket kan vara svårt att uppnå för en mer opersonlig organisation. Däremot kommer det även med större risker, som att organisationen och personen ba

Bakgrund: Ventilator associerad pneumoni (VAP) är ett medicinskt tillstånd som innebär allvarliga konsekvenser för den drabbade intensivvårdspatienten, i form av hotad livskvalité och överhängande risk för morbiditet och mortalitet. Direkta konsekvenser såsom till exempel förlängd vårdtid innebär större kostnader för sjukvården och samhället därav är det av vikt att implementera effektiva interven

Nickel phosphide is a valuable material in high-temperature brazing and joining applications, offering excellent thermal stability for temperatures up to 400°C. Nickel phosphide is used as powder form for joining applications and therefore it is imperative to study the formation as well as interaction of Ni2P particles with adjacent particles in an in-situ/in-operando manner for high temperature j

ObjectivesPeople with serious illness approaching end of life often end up in emergency and hospital care, frequently against expressed preferences. Consequently, oncology trials record care days as a measure of treatment burden called “time toxicity.” However, this measure ignores the diminishing marginal utility of time: that the value of a day is higher when fewer remain. We aimed to incorporat
