The purpose of this work is to map the parameters of residential fires that have the most influence on the consequences. The parameters consist of factors linked to the event and tasks conducted by the rescue service. The reason for this scope is a new law that requires a new way of describing the capability of the Swedish rescue service. A literature study and an interview study were conducted to
Purpose We aim to investigate how professionals make sense of the culture in the context of PSFs and how they engage in organizational and professional identification. Methodology The researchers look into the sensemaking processes professionals attach to organizational culture from a symbolic interactionism tradition, while from a critical perspective challenging the mainstream assumptions about
Purpose: This thesis aims to investigate how customers’ pre-existing brand loyalty influences their perceptions of four characteristics – Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU), Perceived Trustworthiness (PT), and Perceived Human-likeness (PH) – of AI chatbots used in customer service. In turn, we strive to examine how those perceptions affect overall customer satisfaction towards
South Korea’s veterinary market has shown strong growth over the recent years. The key drivers of this growth include: Increasing pet ownership, urbanisation and a shifting societal view on pets as family members. This shifted view is what’s called a humanisation of pets. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and describe the potential market demand for a service offering aimed at supporting ve
The issue of food waste is a growing global problem having social, environmental and economic consequences. Over the recent years, this issue has received attention at International, national, regional and local levels. One such example is the case of Malmö which, in their Sustainable food policy has identified food waste as one of the key areas to reduce Greenhouse gas emission down to 40% of 200
The ongoing refugee crisis has divided the European Union. While some states shelter hundreds of thousands of refugees, others only grant asylum to a handful. This phenomenon is creating a demographic rift inside the union and is also causing internal quarrels over joint responsibility, which possibly could undermine the existence of the organization. In this thesis we search for the potential cau
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyze innovative products and services within the telecom industry, letting these findings constitute possible ways for CSPs to innovate the experience of their customers. Methodology: The research in this thesis was conducted from a qualitative approach and data were collected using primary- (expert interviews) and secondary sources (journa
Titel Mobiloperatörsbranschen – En studie av branschens konkurrens- och prissättningssituation samt en analys av prisjämförelsefaktorer Författare Fredric Andersson, Anders Andréen och Niklas Delmar Handledare Professor Allan T. Malm och Magnus Wide Nivå Magisteruppsats Syfte Uppsatsens huvudsyfte är att genomföra en analys av den svenska prissättningssituationen inom mobiloperatörsbranschen. Vi h
What we generally are lacking within the field of research regarding complaint management is a more niched knowledge about its usability and potential to foster competitive capability within a specific industry. The thesis main objective is the hotel industry and we have found a knowledge gap regarding how service recovery can foster a hotels competitive capability. Our purpose is to describe and
Det här arbetet handlar om musikaliska ideal i rytmikundervisningen på högskolenivå. Följande frågor behandlas i arbetet: Vilken roll har musiken i rytmikundervisningen? Vilka musikaliska ideal beskrivs? Utifrån vilka kriterier väljer musikhögskolornas rytmikutbildningar musikmaterial i sin undervisning och hur ser materialet ut? Arbetet bygger på tre kvalitativa intervjuer som har genomförts med
In Sweden, the food and agricultural sector is highly concentrated, especially in the food refinement and retail sectors, with a few major actors holding significant market power. This concentration poses challenges for smaller agri-food companies in Skåne, Sweden. This thesis aims to in depth exploring the challenges smaller agri-food companies face today. The thesis employs a case study approach
The situation for the environment is in many ways dire. However, amidst all the negative environmental developments it is easy to neglect the successes that have actually happened. With the aim of better understanding what factors facilitated such a success this thesis analyses one such case, namely emissions of dioxins and chlorinated waste from the pulp and paper industry in Sweden. Dioxins were
EU:s art- och habitatdirektiv listar arter och naturtyper som ska bevaras och vars bevarandestatus ska övervakas. Rapporten analyserar förekomsten i Sverige av fyra av de fjärilsarter som omfattas av Naturvårdsverkets Biogeografiska uppföljning. Analysen fokuserar på habitat och miljöparameterar i relation till svenska fynd av högnordisk blåvinge (Agriades aquilo), dvärgpärlemorfjäril (Boloria imp
We evaluate a place-based policy aimed at commercial service providers. In 2016, the Swedish government introduced special operating support for grocery stores in remote rural areas to slow down the process of store closures. We estimate the local causal effect in a regression discontinuity design framework using the fact that only stores located at least 15 km away from another store were eligibl
We derive and validate an analytical model that describes the migration of Raman scattered photons in two-layer diffusive media, based on the diffusion equation in the time domain. The model is derived under a heuristic approximation that background optical properties are identical on the excitation and Raman emission wavelengths. Methods for the reconstruction of two-layer Raman spectra have been
In two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 BCE, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments. These are perforated front teeth, mostly from red deer but also wild boar and in rare occasions from elk and aurochs. The tooth beads were in female graIn two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 bce, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments.

Plast präglar i stort sett allting i det moderna livet och bidrar till miljöförstöring och avfallsgenerering på global nivå. Denna avhandling undersöker hur plastavfall blev djupt inbäddat i Sveriges kulturella, politiska och ekonomiska strukturer. Med hjälp av ett ramverk baserat på kulturell politisk ekonomi (CPE) används tre perspektiv - hegemoni, inlåsningseffekter och praktiker - för att analPlastic disposability is a pervasive feature of modern life, contributing to environmental degradation and waste generation on a global scale. This dissertation investigates how plastic disposability became deeply embedded within Sweden's cultural, political, and economic structures. Using a Cultural Political Economy (CPE) framework, it applies three lenses – hegemony, lock-in, and practice – to
Attempts to use colloid science concepts to better understand the dynamic properties of concentrated or crowded protein solutions are challenging due to the fact that globular proteins generally have heterogeneous surfaces that result in anisotropic or patchy contributions to their interaction potential. This is particularly difficult when targeting non-equilibrium transitions such as glass and ge
Introduction Emerging research indicates that integrated treatment of co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder can be effective among adolescents and young people. However, various barriers exist to young people accessing evidence-based treatments. Telehealth offers an opportunity to address these barriers and provide a scalable and accessible alternative to in
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: The objective was to determine the association between serum IgE levels and the infiltration order of T lymphocytes and macrophages in pancreatic islets in relation to the loss of insulin and glucagon cells in presymptomatic congenic BB Gimap5-DP (Diabetes Prone) rats.MATERIAL: Congenic prediabetes BB Gimap5-DP and control Gimap5-DR (Diabetes Resistant) rats were followed eve
