Privacy by Design is a methodology that enables privacy to be built into the design and architecture of information systems and business processes. Rather than bolting on protection at the end of a design process, care for privacy needs to be one of the foundational concerns of any implementation. Traditionally, privacy policies have been largely approached reactively, and only triggered once a br
As commodities are becoming more popular and accessible assets for speculative and hedging purposes, the limited research regarding risk management for said asset-class justifies further contribution to the deficient output. Many previous studies have highlighted the extraordinary high volatility, with non-linear and clustering characteristics associated with commodities. Hence, incorporating vola
In today’s world, where viewing television is one of the most prominent leisure activities, it is only natural that the scenes seen on the screen can have an impact on the image that people have of certain destinations. While film tourism is not a new phenomenon, it is relatively young in academic research and many aspects and perspectives are yet to be examined. This paper makes use of the stakeh
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande hälsoproblem. Att rehabiliteras i naturmiljö har visats bidra till ökad hälsa för personer med svår stress. Att göra en litteraturöversikt är aktuellt för att konstatera vad det finns för forskning idag om rehabilitering i naturmiljö. Syfte: Syftet med översikten är att kartlägga forskning om rehabilitering i naturmiljö för personer med svår stress utifrån eBackground: Mental illness is a growing health issue. Rehabilitation in a natural environment has been shown to contribute to increased health for people with severe stress. It is important to do a literature review to ascertain what research there is today on rehabilitation in a natural environment. Aim: The object of the review is to map research on rehabilitation in natural environment for peop
Sammanfattning Den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen bygger på ett samarbete och samförstånd mellan arbetsmarknadens parter. Deras arbete ligger i att komma överens om lösningar på arbetsmarknadsrelaterade problem, utan inblandning av staten och utan att staten lagstiftar på området. Detta kallas för den svenska modellen, som mycket baseras på framförhandlade kollektivavtal. Kollektivavtal har en bin
The purpose of this study was to get a deeper understanding of women who are exposed to domestic violence by their male partners. We have examined how battered women both draw from and reject victimdiscourses in their processes of self‐construction and how available “victim” discourses affected these women's views on their role and their choice not to seek assistance to get out of their situat
The aim of this study was to investigate how the phenomenon of an uneven breakdown by sex and differences between gender were described by group managers of an organization who offer camps for children with ASD. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted with the six group managers within the organization. The primary theoretical framework used for the analysis was a social constructivism persp
Begging in Sweden is not a new phenomenon although it is a current issue in Swedish politics, more precisely the issue is focused on a begging ban. This thesis studies how beggars in Sweden are constructed in discourses of a begging ban. The study implements a critical discourse analytic approach with Carole Bacchi’s (1999) theory and method “What’s the problem represented to be?” (WTP). The WTP a
The purpose of this study was to explore the increased privatization that followed in the wake of New public management. The study was based on foster home business and foster home conditions, with the existence of different logics with sometimes contradictory requirements to explore how foster home experiences affect their choice to enter into agreements with municipal or consultancy-supported ac
This thesis deals with norms and the perception of possibilities. I discuss how norms, individuals and society are interlinked and interdependent. From this basic connection, based on the case of Can Decreix, a centre for practical and theoretical experiments on the topic of degrowth, I explore how a different normality can be established. The way that norms both enable and restrict is discussed a
This project work covers the design and construction of a new probe system for hot gas analysis in an entrained flow gasifier. The aim is a probe that can be used more flexibly than the present system. As a further aim, the condensation of trace materials has to be prevented. First, a short overview over current techniques to analyse the product gas in a gasification process is given. Continuing,
Misaligned strategies that are developed within different units in a company is unfortunately a common occurrence. Generally, operations strategy and marketing strategy are difficult to align; the operations unit and the sales unit often have troubles understanding each other. If adding a capacity planning perspective to this issue, it is obvious that the two units need a full understanding for ea
Scientific summary: Amongst other affected countries, Namibia endured seasonal floods in different parts of the country namely, Karas, Kavango, Caprivi, Ohangwena, Omusati, and Oshana regions. However, the study was only conducted on the floods within the Ohangwena region. Major flooding in this region became eminent from 2007, and only rapid appraisal assessments were conducted. As a consequence,
A cost-benefit analysis is performed following inevitable renovation requirements for the public outdoor swimming facilities situated in Ljungbyhed and Östra Ljungby. The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate whether or not it is economically acceptable to perform the necessary investments to keep the facilities operating. The benefits are estimated using observed data regarding the number of visi
Ever since corporate social responsibility (CSR) became a prominent school of thought, this subject has constantly upgraded itself to keep pace with the fast-changing world. However, given that CSR is largely a market-driven, top-down response, it has entered into a bottleneck where downstream stakeholders are out of the picture. Speaking of improving labour standards via CSR, when business and no
Production companies are often exposed to rapid change and turbulent business environments, whilst the facilities and premises they conduct their business from are long term commitments with a lower turnover rate than most other assets. Decisions regarding real estate are complicated by nature and often yield long term consequences which could be hard to forecast. This dilemma between short- and l
The problem of the perfect territorial size is an old one. It was discussed as early as in ancient Greece and picked up again by Dahl and Tufte with their book Size and Democracy. In this thesis, the subject is further developed when participation by citizens in politics is studied. The conditions for influencing the political decisions are investigated and citizen boards are chosen for studying.
