Den nya mediemiljön med sociala medier gör det möjligt att konstruera och styra mediebilden av sig själv, men ett ständigt informationsflöde bidrar till en kamp om uppmärksamheten. Det finns flertalet exempel på personer som ständigt figurerar i medierna och som spelar spelet om respekt i offentligheten, men vissa frotterar sig i finrummen medan andra inte gör det. Hur kommer detta sig? Studiens m
En instabil arbetsmarknad med allt högre konkurrens skapar utmaningar för dagens företag att kostnadseffektivisera, vilket har lett till att nedskärning av personal blivit allt vanligare. Hur en nedskärningsprocess gynnar ett företag tenderar bero på en anställds upplevelse av processen som organisatorisk rättvis. Ett orättvist bemötande har visats påverka anställdas beteende och attityd till arbe
The concept of governmentality and the concept of banal nationalism are applied in the study to critically analyze how a European identity is articulated and legitimized within the energy policy presented by the European Commission. Furthermore, the articulated identity is related to the construction of insecurity. In the analyzed material the identity of the EU is portrayed as an effective and in
A study was performed to investigate whether the risk- and vulnerability assessments of Swedish central authorities fulfill its purposes stated in the legislation. This was made by investigating and categorizing the characteristic ways the authorities communicate risks in their RVA:s. A content analysis of ten risk- and vulnerability assessments was performed as well as a participating observation
Mammografiscreening är i dagsläget det främsta sättet att minska dödligheten i bröstcancer. Vid oklara förändringar i bilderna sker en vidare utredning för att säkerställa eller utesluta patologi. Återkallelse kan skapa oro och ångest hos kvinnor eftersom risken för att utredningen kan tyda på bröstcancer. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa bakomliggande faktorer som kan ge ökad oro
This work discusses the representation of ethnic diversity in contemporary stock photography imagery in the light of postcolonial critical theory. Departing from the Visual Content analysis of a random sample of stock photography retrieved from the Getty Images database, it attempts an interpretation of the empirical findings following the concepts of Whiteness and Self / Other dichotomy, both bel
Abstract Author: Anne Ignell Title: Masculinity and crime – a construction? A study of autobiographies Supervisor: Anna Rypi Assessor: Eva Palmblad The aim of this study was to examine how masculinity and a criminal lifestyle is constructed in the story telling of two autobiographies written by men who have a heavy criminal background, and to see how these two constructions relate to each other.
Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a
For this research, two satellite products were used to see if it was possible to improve the resolution and quality of the global radiation interpolation in the Netherlands. The first data source was from the Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facility (CM-SAF). The second data source was the Surface Insolation under Clear and Cloudy Skies (SICCS) from the KNMI. Both products were available f
Narkotikapolitik är idag ett väldiskuterat och aktuellt ämne. Lagstiftning skiljer sig väsentligt mellan länder och likaså idéer och tankar kring vilken väg som är rätt att gå. Syftet med denna uppsats är granska samt synliggöra Portugals och Sveriges vitt skilda narkotikapolitik för att genom teori analysera och redogöra för ländernas motiv, resultat och påverkan på samhället samt individ. En vis
After a brief introduction of the basic properties of group rings, some famous theorems on traces of idempotent elements of group rings will be presented. Next we consider some famous conjectures stated by Irving Kaplansky, among them the zero-divisor conjecture. The conjecture asserts that if a group ring is constructed from a field (or an integral domain) and a torsion-free group, then it does n
Extreme events on the financial market has become an important and high-attention topic. Several well know historical market crashes has taken investors and academics with surprise and there is an urge to understand these anomalous events. The Johansen-Ledoit-Sornette model aims to describe speculative bubbles and anti bubbles on financial markets, often ending in endogenous crashes or rebounds. I
Calculating probability of default (PD) for low default portfolios in a statistically sound way can be a daunting task. For groups of coun- terparties with no or few defaults, e.g. large corporates and nancial institutions, standard approaches like logistic regression fail due to the low number of events. In this thesis, a dierent approach is used. The logit function in logistic regression is repl
Abstract: China and Vietnam have achieved tremendous economic growth in the past decades. The successful development despite their weak formal institutions has deeply challenged conventional economic theories and has demonstrated an undervaluation of informal institutions. In this study, the emerging private sector that has vastly contributed to the rise of China and Vietnam is analyzed based on t
To be in the hospital as a patient is a special occurrence, and patients’ experiences often vary when it comes to care, specifically in relation to hospital staff. The purpose of this study was to examine patients’ and personnel’s experiences of the care in an orthopedic clinic and to explore causal factors that maybe are affecting the experience of care. The community, the organization of the hos
This study has its starting point in the fact that not all developing countries are equally successful in attracting foreign direct investments (FDI). Consequently, this study examines the determinants of FDI in a developing country. In previous research, there has been a recent shift of focus to the institutional environment of the host countries as a determinant of FDI. In line with this develop
The main goal of this thesis is to assess the current packaging development process at one of the leading Swedish corrugated packaging companies, from a food safety perspective, in order to help the corrugated board industry to build knowledge to produce safer packaging for direct food contact. Furthermore, to understand the current situation within a packaging company and to suggest more responsi
Som bakgrund till denna studie ligger uppfattningen att det finns en diskrepans kring hur mellanchefer utför sitt arbete då de både ska leda och bli ledda. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur mellanchefer i Sverige uppfattar sin roll i företaget de verkar i, samt hur de förhåller sig till sina underordnade respektive överordnade. Analysen av det empiriska materialet använder sig av Bourdi
The aim of the study was to examine social work with female victims of intimate partner violence in a slum in Argentina. The resources available and the methods used by the participants were studied. Feminist theory was used to analyse the hierarchal order in the society and an intersectional perspective was applied to the situation of the victims. Empowerment theory was applied on the working met
Bakgrund och Problem: Planering används inom företag för att stödja beslutsfattande och kontroll. För kortsiktig planering har budgeten länge varit det huvudsakliga styrmedlet. Detta är något som inte alltid passar i en snabbföränderlig omvärld, vilket har resulterat i att andra styrmedel som till exempel prognoser har fått en ökad betydelse. Styrverktyget måste anpassas till varje enskilt företag
