THIS MASTER THESIS is about making diving more accessible. The experience of diving is today relying on a complex set of equipment and infrastructure, thus most people with a certificate seldom use it. My intention is to evolve diving equipment, which has looked the same since the sixties, and by doing that simplifying the experience of diving. The goal is to create a solution positioning itself

The following thesis research deals with the topic of the challenges technology start- ups face and overcome when hiring talents in comparison with HRM practices attributed to established firms by existing theory. As Masters in Entrepreneurship students we felt the current literature tends to focus on HR-related topics in established companies, while these subjects remain underdeveloped applying t

This essay compares the two Swedish municipalities Landskrona and Värnamo, in order to understand the difference in achieved integration on the labor market. By using Mill’s method of disagreement, and conducting interviews with persons with key positions in the integration process, based on theories of integration, the essay reaches the conclusion that authorities can be the difference between su

The aim of this study was to examine whether or not there is a correlation between soccer position, personality and birth order. A total of 82 questionnaires was handed out and collected from four soccer teams from semiprofessional Swedish leagues, two male teams and two female. The player’s questionnaire consisted of their usual position on the soccer pitch, information about their siblings such

Introduction: Patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) suffer from decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in large part due to bowel symptoms. However, it is unknown which bowel symptoms affect HRQoL the most. An enhanced understanding of this is essential to better focus treatment on this aspect of the disease. This study aimed to determine which bowel symptoms affect HRQoL t

Information and communication technology (ICT) is ubiquitous in tourism and this changes not only tourists’ immediate behaviour, but also what tourism is. In this way, digitalisation is shifting perceptions of when tourism starts and ends, and how we can understand the term in principal ways. The aim of this working paper is to contribute to the debate about the consequences of today´s fast digita

As more people are surviving cardiac arrest, focus needs to shift towards improving neurological outcomes and quality of life in survivors. Brain injury after resuscitation, a common sequela following cardiac arrest, ranges in severity from mild impairment to devastating brain injury and brainstem death. Effective strategies to minimise brain injury after resuscitation include early intervention w

Introduction Mechanical ventilation can be monitored by analysing particles in exhaled air as measured by particle flow rate (PFR). This could be a potential method of detecting ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) before changes in conventional parameters can be detected. The aim of this study was to investigate PFR during different ventilation modes in patients without lung pathology. Method A

Hyperlocal news appears often in discussion about the future of the news media and potential alternative models. There is a strong need to analyse development of hyper-local news initiatives to better understand the needs of this sector, possibilities and challenges of collaboration between the community and media initiatives. It is important to study the phenomena in various cultural and social cHyper-local news appears often in discussion about the future of the news media and potential alternative models.

This paper discusses the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the long-standing human rights system of the United Nations. Thematically, these two modes of global governance strongly overlap. Several SDGs are in line with human rights obligations. At the same time, the SDGs and human rights are based on divergent logics and constructed very differently. After capturing

The analysis of financial statements is the basis for many important decisions. This book explains the fundamental role of financial accounting in the economy.The book covers both technical

On-demand droplet generation from a continuously flowing stream of aqueous phase has profound applications in dropletbased microfluidics for rare event encapsulation studies. Here, we present acoustic relocation-based droplet generation from co-flowing immiscible fluids in an on-demand manner using bulk acoustic wave (BAW). After on-demand droplet generation, droplets are isolated using the same a
