Denna studie ämnar till att undersöka professionaliseringens och den ökade kon-kurrensens påverkan på humanitära organisationer samt hur förändringen påverkar deras kommunikation gentemot medlemmarna och bidragsgivarna. För att konkre-tisera det valda ämnet är denna studie en fallstudie med Rädda Barnen som fall. Studien och analysen är av en kvalitativ typ och vårt empiriska material består av inThe aim of this paper is to examine how the professionalization and the increased competition affect humanitarian organizations, as well as how the changes affect the communication with their members and contributors. We are carrying out a case study of the Save the Children organization in order to concretize the chosen subject. The study and analysis is of a qualitative type and our empirical ma

This thesis presents a case study on the redesign of an electric percolator with the aim of adapting it to a circular economy. The primary objective was to en- hance the percolator’s design in accordance with a Slowing the Loop strategy, focusing on longer product life and resistance toward obsolescence. A literature study was performed to identify sets of Design for X (DfX) rules for this purpose

This thesis explores how Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) unfolds within Swedish municipal organizations and identifies how EDI is managed and structured, and what kind of innovations that are created in such organizational environments. While innovation is increasingly emphasized in the public sector, this study reveals that its practice is far from uniform. Through qualitative studies of three m

With the rise of social media and an overwhelming amount of information, brands must find ways to stand out amidst the noise. In response to growing consumer skepticism toward traditional marketing, anti-marketing strategies have emerged to capture attention in new ways. This thesis examines the use of anti-marketing strategies in comparison to traditional marketing on Instagram, using Oatly as a

The Covid-19 outbreak in early 2020 clearly underscored the importance of societal preparedness and the need for reliable forecasting in managing public health crises. To support effective policies and timely interventions, governments and health authorities require accurate short-term forecasts. In 2022, researchers at Uppsala University evaluated various forecasting techniques using Covid-19-rel

This study aims to explore how medical social workers in pediatric healthcare and youth clinics reason about documentation practices in their daily work. The focus is on the challenges they encounter related to language, ethics, legal regulations, and interactions with other professional groups. Using a qualitative approach, the study is based on focus group interviews and analyzed through the len

This study aimed to highlight ADHD in adolescents (12-18 years) and the connection to crime on the basis of the professional discourse perspective. I have also chosen to investigate the value of a possible diagnosis, but also the importance of social factors when it comes to development of criminal behaviour among young people. The interviews have been semi structured and the interviews that have

It may be considered an existential crisis to stop using narcotics and/or alcohol. How does the person move on in order to solve this crisis in a positive way, so that their lives can be transformed? The aim of the essay was to investigate to what extent people who have stopped abusing narcotics and/or alcohol through 12-step programmes have constructed themselves in relation to “strong evaluation

In a time full of environmental changes the need for understandings of the operational work and services, the control of the business and key figures, and flexibility to adapt to different circumstances is crucial in many organizations. In a time where national borders are getting more and more invisible and where the humans are traveling and moving more than ever it is even more important to have

Dynamic glucose enhanced (DGE) MRI is used to study the signal intensity time course (tissue response curve) after D-glucose injection. D-glucose has potential as a biodegradable alternative or complement to gadolinium-based contrast agents, with DGE being comparable to dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI. However, the tissue uptake kinetics as well as the detection methods of DGE differ from DCE,

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes show excellent chemical stability and low vanadium crossover in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), but their high resistance is challenging. This work introduces a concept, membrane assemblies of a highly selective 2 µm thin PBI membrane between two 60 µm thick highly conductive PBI gel membranes, which act as soft protective layers against external mechanical

Introduction: While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level costs for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up to postoperative day (POD) 30 and evaluate the contribution of follo

Many hand-held or mixed reality devices are used with a single sensor for 3D reconstruction, although they often comprise multiple sensors. Multi-sensor depth fusion is able to substantially improve the robustness and accuracy of 3D reconstruction methods, but existing techniques are not robust enough to handle sensors which operate with diverse value ranges as well as noise and outlier statistics

This article provides a step-by-step guideline for measuring and analyzing visual attention in 3D virtual reality (VR) environments based on eye-tracking data. We propose a solution to the challenges of obtaining relevant eye-tracking information in a dynamic 3D virtual environment and calculating interpretable indicators of learning and social behavior. With a method called "gaze-ray casting," we

We develop a multiscale coarse-grain model of the NIST Monoclonal Antibody Reference Material 8671 (NISTmAb) to enable systematic computational investigations of high-concentration physical instabilities such as phase separation, clustering, and aggregation. Our multiscale coarse-graining strategy captures atomic-resolution interactions with a computational approach that is orders of magnitude mor

Which linguistic labels we use to name ourselves and others – such as disabled and non-disabled – make a difference regarding how we see ourselves and each other. Such labels may also say something about how we view society and the roles of people in it, as illustrated by the choice between people-first and identity-first labels. In the present study, we use a sample of 56,666 articles published b
