Digitaliseringen har ändrat samhället på många sätt. Idag delar människor med sig av all sorts information om sig själva och andra under nästan alla timmar på dygnet. Människor har anpassat sig till ett samhälle där de känner sig manade att hela tiden vara uppkopplade och representerade på internet. På senare tid har dock människor börjat inse att spridandet av information på internet kan ge oanadDigitalization has changed society in many ways. One of the results of the development of the online world is that people have formed the habit of sharing all sorts of information about themselves and others to everyone around them at all times. People have adapted to a society where they feel a compulsion to be repeatedly connected and represented on digital networks. However, individuals have st

Denna uppsats undersöker de levda erfarenheterna hos japanska migranter i Sverige, en grupp som omfattar cirka 4 600 individer, varav nästan 80 procent har valt att permanent bosätta sig i Sverige. De återstående 20 procenten är tillfälliga invånare, som studenter, forskare eller utstationerade chefer, verksamma i något av de cirka 200 japanskägda företagen i landet. Till skillnad från andra europThis thesis explores the lived experiences of Japanese migrants to Sweden, a demographic that includes approximately 4,600 individuals, of whom nearly 80 percent chose to settle permanently in Sweden. The remaining 20 percent are temporary residents, as students, researchers, or as expatriate managers, working in one of the roughly 200 Japanese-owned companies in the country. In contrast to other

This thesis contributes to leadership theory, specifically, full-range-leadership and VUCA, and the practical implications. Moreover, it addresses challenges that organizations may face when implementing these models in reality. We utilized an inductive research approach to identify insights within the leadership field in combination with a qualitative research method, grounded in interpretivism a

Corruption has been a widely discussed and analysed topic for decades. However, the results stemming from research on its effect are mixed and highly volatile, leading to a debate that it may be beneficial to the economy and society. The thesis puts this to a test with a focus on Europe during 2005-2019. By using rigorous testing, different proxies for corruption and subjective well-being, and var

Matvaruhandeln på nätet växer och en stor del av matvaruinköpen online levereras med hemleverans. Den hemleveransmodell som idag används i störst utsträckning låter kunderna välja ett tidsfönster för när de vill ha sin leverans. Det innebär att rutterna måste anpassas efter olika tidsfönster, vilket resulterar i ineffektivitet och låg fyllnadsgrad i lastbilarna. Detta, i sin tur, gör att leveranseThe online market for groceries is continuously growing. Many of the online grocery purchases are home delivered, and the model that is currently the most commonly used allows the customer to pick a delivery time slot. This means that the delivery routes must be adapted according to time windows, which results in inefficient routes, a lot of half-empty vehicles, and hence in costly deliveries for

Data is essential for the competition in digital economy. Online platforms use advanced technology to utilize users’ data to improve competition advantage. The occurrence of data monopoly has become a new type of monopoly in the data-driven market, frequently appearing through abusive practices that lock in users and increase entry barrier. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was

Today, we live in an age that is continually witnessing tension, strife and terrorism as a direct product of unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities for a good life. In Uganda for over two and half decades, war, insurgency and deprivation have been the realities of the people living in Northern Uganda. This evidently has lead to an imbalance in the Ugandan society with the North standing

This article reports a literature review which draws together findings targeting families' needs when a child is long-term ill. The databases PubMed and CINHAL were searched from 1999 to 2003 during February 2004. The search terms were child health care, family caregivers, and needs and combinations of these. The search was limited to articles published in English and the Scandinavian languages. T

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy. Genome-wide association studies have shown variation at 14q11.2 influences ALL risk. We sought to decipher causal variant(s) at 14q11.2 and the mechanism of tumorigenesis. We show rs2239630 G>A resides in the promoter of the CCAT enhancer-binding protein epsilon (CEBPE) gene. The rs2239630-A risk allele is associated wit

The sharing economy has many faces, and it has taken our societies by storm. For many people, it has quickly become a norm to book accommodation via AirBnB, or to think sharing instead of owning when it comes to products of their everyday lives. The tourism industry has seen many adaptions towards a sharing economy, one of them being a new way of conducting guided tours.

Background: Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been linked to adverse pulmonary effects. However, the impact of low-level environmental PAH exposure on lung function in early adulthood remains uncertain. Objectives: To evaluate the associations between urinary PAH metabolites and lung function parameters in young adults. Methods: Urinary metabolites of pyrene, phenanthrene, an

Previously published data from our group and others demonstrate that human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs), as well as milk and infant fecal microbial profiles, vary by geography. However, little is known about the geographical variation of other milk-borne factors, such as lactose and protein, as well as the associations among these factors and microbial community structures in milk and infant feces.

Increases in phenotypic variation under extreme (e.g. novel or stressful) environmental conditions are emerging as a crucial process through which evolutionary adaptation can occur. Lack of prior stabilizing selection, as well as potential instability of developmental processes in these environments, may lead to a release of phenotypic variation that can have important evolutionary consequences. A

Cooperativity is an efficient way for nature to regulate complex processes, allowing for control over a narrower range of concentrations compared to noncooperative phenomena. Here, we investigate the cooperative binding of α-Synuclein to lipid membranes under different conditions, aiming to uncover the underlying molecular driving forces. We interrogate the role of electrostatic interactions by ra

The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a pancreas-produced peptide, has beneficial functions in its monomeric form. However, IAPP aggregates, related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), are toxic not only for the pancreas, but also for the brain. In the latter, IAPP is often found in vessels, where it is highly toxic for pericytes, mural cells that have contractile properties and regulate capillary

Background: The importance of alerting health care systems of patients carrying multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRB) is highlighted in numerous guidelines. In the absence of electronic alert systems, notification cards are often recommended, but have rarely been evaluated. We evaluated patient experiences of receiving and using a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) notification card.

Purpose: The accuracy of analytical dose calculations (ADC) and dose uncertainties resulting from anatomical changes are both limiting factors in proton therapy. For the latter, rapid plan adaption is necessary; for the former, Monte Carlo (MC) approaches are increasingly recommended. These, however, are inherently slower than analytical approaches, potentially limiting the ability to rapidly adap

According to Zagaria et al. (2020), evolutionary psychology may be the meta-theory that is needed if psychological science is to enter a paradigmatic stage. Other writers have suggested that what is needed is a person-oriented approach, which focuses on the person as a complex system that needs to be studied (1) as a whole (holism), (2) as an intentional agent in interaction with its environment (

Many viruses previously have been shown to have pressurized genomes inside their viral protein shell, termed the capsid. This pressure results from the tight confinement of negatively charged viral nucleic acids inside the capsid. However, the relevance of capsid pressure to viral infection has not been demonstrated. In this work, we show that the internal DNA pressure of tens of atmospheres insid
