This qualitative study aimed to shed light on how active members of the climate movement Extincion Rebellion Sweden apply civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and how they in the application of civil disobedience relate to the political and legal system. Six semi structured interviews were conducted, which then were analyzed using John Rawl’s theory of civil disobedience, as well as

Forskning kring asexualitet är fortfarande skral till sin mängd och bredd jämfört med forskning kring andra sexuella minoriteter och har dessutom till stor del uppehållit sig vid definition av asexualitet snarare än fördjupad förståelse av exempelvis asexuella narrativ. Denna uppsats ämnar utforska hur medikaliserande diskurs konstruerar (a)sexualitet som avvikande och vad sådan diskurs kan säga o

The nitrogenase reaction mechanism has been examined using several variations of QM/MM (Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical) methods. All calculations were based on a 1.0Å X-ray crystal structure and were performed with the software ComQum and Turbomole. The investigation consists of three distinct projects. First, redox potentials between different states of the P-cluster and the FeMo clus

The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns. Thi

Rwanda is highly exposed to floods and landslides due to intense precipitation, rapid population growth, varied topography and agricultural growth. One of the most vulnerable areas is the Nyabarongo catchment. A subcatchment of the Nyabarongo catchment, Bakokwe, was chosen as a case study for this thesis. The aim was to evaluate the causes, consequences and future challenges of floods and landslid

Background: Despite the surcharge for the rush orders and discounts for the normal orders, some dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) in the EU region frequently make rush orders. Currently, there are three types of orders implemented by Volvo CE: Emergency Order (EO) which is processed at the same day the order is received by the Distribution Centre (DC), Day Order (DO) which is pro

Cereal grains are an important staple in many diets across the globe. Being one of the most cultivated cereal crops worldwide, especially in Nordic countries, oats are known to have a high dietary fibre content and a nutritional value that makes them highly beneficial for human health. Avenanthramides are a group of phenolic compounds that, among other cereal grains, are only produced in oats. Ave

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the research gap on the relationship between employee engagement and a purpose-driven organizational mode. Our research, which adheres to the interpretive tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI) comprises a qualitative single-case study in a purpose-driven organization and follows an abductive approach. We generated our empirical data by collecting 12

In the contemporary globalised era, social and economic development is being increasingly associated with extractivism. Opening up resource markets to multinational extractive industries is a common strategy used by Latin American states for promoting economic growth and reducing poverty. This thesis is a case study of the current establishment of large scale mining in the Tropical Andes of Ecuado

Digital-HR och digitala HR-verktyg har utvecklats i syfte att generera en värdefull informationsdatabas över de mänskliga resurserna i en organisation. Genom att digitalisera mer inom HR frigörs ytterligare tid till organisationsutveckling och människorna i organisationen. En effekt av digitaliseringen är ökat behov av informationssäkerhet i organisationerna. Digitala lösningar ökar sårbarheten i

In a world colored by change, being agile is considered one of the most important traits for communication professionals in a modern corporate landscape. However, research concludes that the concept of agility stills lacks clarity to the profession and what being agile actually implies to the profession. This study problematizes this and explores the implications of agility and how communication p

Title: Corporate Sustainability Strategy: From Formulation to Implementation – A Single-Case Study of the Manufacturing Industry Examining Strategy Implementation Tools And Influences of Contextual Factors Seminar date: June 3, 2022 Authors: Jakob Paul Leopold Krenn & Oriane Marina Rütsche Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Course: BUSN09 – Degree Project in MSc International Strategic Managemen

After the proposed EU Data Act was released in February this year, the facilitation of data sharing was emphasized, which might bring many aspects of impact. In particular, the implications for data portability and database protection. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the intersection between the EU sui generis database right and the EU right to data portability, and to which

Bygg utgör världens största industri och branschen står därför inför stora utmaningar, då projekten förväntas färdigställas med god vinstmarginal samtidigt som det ska levereras med kortare byggtider, byggas med rätt kvalitet och helst till lägre kostnader. Detta ledde till ökade krav på branschen som utvecklades för att säkerställa att alla byggprojekt uppfyller samhällets och beställarens krav p

The purpose of this master thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of managerial humor in the workplace and find out how it influences employees' commitment in contemporary organizations. This report contains qualitative research in the interpretivist tradition in the form of a single case study. Ten in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather the empiric

The aim of this project was to investigate suitable prototyping methods to be used during the development of horn loudspeakers. Different methods were tested to investigate how well they replicated the original loudspeaker based on acoustical performance. The methods were also evaluated based on other requirements such as cost, manufacturing process and ability to handle complexes shapes. The meth
