Användandet av digitala kommunikationskanaler blir allt vanligare. Traditionella arbetsplatser går mot mer moderna sådana då face-to-face kommunikation byts ut eller kompletteras av kommunikation i virtuella miljöer. Medarbetare kan idag genom diverse digitala verktyg arbeta ”när som helst, var som helst” och den virtuella miljön möjliggör för en rums- och tidsmässig frihet. Föreliggande uppsats äThe use of digital communication channels is getting more and more common. Traditional workplaces are moving towards of becoming more modern, since face-to-face communication is being replaced or supplemented with communication in virtual environments. By using various digital communication tools, co-workers can now work “whenever, wherever” and the virtual environment enables a spatial and tempor

CITIES SHOULD BE OPEN AND INCLUSIVE, say municipality officials in Sweden. So why are they not? One answer is norms. Invisible norms are constantly present in our daily lives and affect us by limiting possibilities and narrowing our perspectives and views of each other in ways that can lead to exclusion and discrimination. The norm-critical approach has become a commonly used method to make norms

During the early 1990s, a novel style of programming often referred to as component-oriented programming quickly grew popular as the state-of-the-art in graphical user interface and client/server development on Windows-based personal computers, largely in competition with object-oriented programming, a partly similar, partly different programming paradigm, with which component-orientation is often

We have studied morphology and phase segregation of AlInP shells on GaAs nanowires. Photoluminescence measurements on single core- shell nanowires indicated variations in the shell composition, and phase segregation was confirmed by cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy on 30 nm thin slices of the wires. It was discovered that Al-rich domains form in the á112ñ directions where

Alanine metabolism in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus was investigated using [N-15]alanine. Short-term exposure of mycelial discs to [N-15]alanine showed that the greatest flow of N-15 was to glutamate and to aspartate. Levels of enrichment were as high as 15-20% for glutamate and 13-18% for aspartate, whereas that of alanine reached 30%. Label was also detected in the amino-N of glu

The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been investigated for a long time, and is regarded as a new energy source for various applications, such as portable, stationary and automotive ones. However, due to the shortage of the infrastructure in the society, the high cost, the difficulty of the water/thermal management, etc., practical systems have not reached the general public, yet. Of t

High spectral resolution (0.004 cm(-1)) infrared solar absorption measurements Of CO, C2H6, and HCN have been recorded with the Fourier transform spectrometer located at the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change complementary station at the University of Wollongong, Australia (34.45 degreesS, 150.88 degreesE, 30 m above sea level). The time series covers March 1997 to February 1998. Pr

Cloud based services known as ”Software as a Service” has in the past few years become very popular in the IT industry. Hence it is not surprising that the concept also has reached the security industry and the market for camera surveillance, where the concept ”Video Surveillance as a Service” (VSaaS) has become a buzzword. This is much because of new business opportunities for the vendors and eas

Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu

The purpose of this thesis was to examine how fasteners for mobile phone housing in metal sheet could be designed. The assignment was defined by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication and the work was done in close cooperation with them. Sony Ericsson has had metal in their covers before but only as a cosmetic layer, the bearing parts have been made in moulded plastic. The reason to make a cover where

Sammanfattning Alternativa tvistlösningsmetoder eller Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) är på frammarsch såväl globalt som nationellt. Efter att under en termin vid Köpenhamns universitet kommit i kontakt med medling som tvistlösningsmetod, väcktes ett än större intresse för dessa alternativa sätt att lösa konflikter på. Jag ställde mig även då frågande till vad framgången för ADR kunde komma Summary Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is progressing both globally as well as nationally. After my semester at the University of Copenhagen my interest in ADR in general and in mediation in particular, was awakened and strengthen. I wondered, what impact the increasing use of ADR might have on the Civil Procedure in general and in what regard it might affect the functions of the Civil Proc

This master thesis started as part of “Industry Wise”, an explorative research based project initialized by the company Interactive Institute in 2009. The goal of Industry Wise was to increase electricity awareness and/or stimulate change of energy behavior among employees in industries by visualizing their electricity consumption in real time. I joined Industry Wise to be a part of the research a

I de nya växande branscherna finns det en förändrad syn på relationen mellan arbete och fritid, förändrad syn på arbetsmiljön och det sociala på arbetsplatsen. Syfte med denna studie var att genom en kvalitativ metod undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar den upplevda arbetsmotivationen. Studien genomfördes på en mellanstor spelstudio i södra delen av Sverige. Datainsamling skedde genom såväl en ob

In many process industries samples are taken and analyzed in laboratories to monitor and ensure proper production conditions. If the analysis result is not within specification limits measures are taken to correct errors. It has proved to be hard to take the appropriate measures. The problem description fits into the confines of control theory and the aim is to make a fairly simple solution to a v

There are today about 200 000 children living in families where either one or both parents are addicted to alcohol. These children often become young carers, as they are prematurely being placed in adult caring roles. The aim of this thesis has been to illustrate the situation for children of alcoholics and to examine how these children are coping when parents do not fulfil their parenting respons

In recruitment, promotion, admission, and other forms of wealth and power apportion, an evaluator typically ranks a set of candidates in terms of their competence. If the evaluator is prejudiced, the resulting ranking will misrepresent the candidates’ actual rankings. This constitutes not only a moral and a practical problem, but also an epistemological one, which begs the question of what we shou

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common indication for lumbar spine surgery. The proportion of patients having a second surgery within 2 years varies in the literature between 0.5% and 24%, with recurrent herniation being the most common cause. Several studies have not found any relevant outcome differences between patients undergoing surgery for primary LDH and patients undergoing reoperation fo
