Abstract Purpose - The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how employees, of the London Hilton on Park Lane hotel, make sense of organisational changes resulting from crisis management during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aim to contribute to the existing literature within the field of change and crisis management and build on Weick’s (1995) concept of sensemaking. Therefore, ou
For modern large scale cloud services a fast and reliable anomaly detection is of utmost importance. Traditionally developers perform simple keyword search, for keywords such as "error" or "fail" in the log data, one of the main data sources that depicts the state of the system. In today’s large-scale systems however several TB of log messages can be output every day making man
The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo
Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump
I evaluate a total of 204 U.S. equity mutual funds split into one major group and one additional group for the time period 2002-2016. The major group consists of the ten largest U.S. mutual fund families based on AUM while the additional group consists of a sample of the remaining operative U.S. mutual fund families. The major group manages 58% of U.S. mutual fund supply, thus indicating a non-com
Tystnadskulturen inom kriminella nätverk skapar problem för brottsutredningar runt om i Sverige. När det saknas vittnen och bevis lämnas många brott ouppklarade, vilket man nu vill ändra på genom att effektivisera processen och låta gärningspersoner själva lämna information om andra i utbyte mot strafflindring. Huruvida ett kronvittnessystem ska införas i svensk rättsordning har varit en fråga soThe culture of silence in criminal networks creates problems for crime investigations around Sweden. In the absence of witnesses and evidence, many crimes are left unsolved, which is now being changed by streamlining the process and allowing suspects to provide information about each other in exchange for a reduced sentence. A system with crown witnesses has long been discussed in Sweden, but it
This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many reports of an increase in teenage pregnancy in developing countries. The media portrays girls as more vulnerable to gender-based violence and forced marriage in times of crisis, leading to a worsening situation of early pregnancy. Yet, few studies have been done to explore how this development problem has been shaped and reconstructed during the COVID-1
As the global food system fails to cope with its social and environmental depletion, Alternative Food Systems (AFSs) have emerged. While previous studies have focused on localization efforts through consumer and producer food initiatives, emerging start-ups which act as mediators between the farmers and consumers have been neglected.Therefore, semi-structured interviews with seven different start-
This thesis examines the effects of early childhood development centers (ECDC) on unpaid care work (UCW) and women's economic empowerment in Rwanda. Thanks to the collaboration of ActionAid Rwanda (AAR), data from a sample of women in Nyanza district was collected and analyzed to gain insights into UCW dynamics and the role of ECDCs in women's lives. The findings indicate that ECDCs have s
This thesis provides an insight into Jamaica’s energy situation and its electricity sector through the barriers that prevent the implementation of renewable energy. In both the energy sector and electricity sub-sector the need to incorporate alternative energy sources, it has revealed, is becoming more apparent with increasing oil prices, widening debt burdens and rising unemployment, among others
Ever since its independence from Panamá, Colombia has suffered internal conflicts. This has posed a threat to the country’s stability and has produced much internal displacement in the country. After Sudan, Colombia has the largest amount of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the world. There are many NGOs active in Colombia that work to attend this crisis and in comparison to other countries
This paper deals with affirmative action linked to theories of equality. The aim is to answer the question: Can affirmative action be justified? Three different perspectives, or faces that I have chosen to call them, are the core of the analysis; formal equality meaning equal rights, actual equality which deals with equal opportunity and absolute equality which is understood as equal results. Aft
The current patterns of consuming and producing German coffee cause environmental impacts. Identifying the most relevant environmental impacts (hot spots) along the global value chain of German coffee is the first step to improve its environmental performance. Hot spots need immediate attention from companies, practitioners, and scientists in order to create sustainable solutions. The purpose of
