Uncommon categorization, i.e. disparities in how similar terms and information is interpreted, coded and categorized, has been shown to impede inter-agency communication and collective sense-making.

Many of these analyses have been looking (or perhaps hoping) for a simple cause-and-effect relationship. Young people seem uninterested in traditional forms of politics, but they are very interested in Interne

There is a variety of capitalist systems in Europe that many scholars attempt to classify using social, political and economical determinants. Among a diversity of methods, institutional approach has received a growing recognition in the recent years.

The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as expla

Mot bakgrund av att det finns forskning som visar på samband mellan arbetstillfredsställelse, hälsa och effektivitet, blir det angeläget för organisationer att beakta hur chefer arbetar kring psykosociala faktorer i medarbetares arbetsmiljö, samt vilka konsekvenser olika typer av ledarskap får för medarbetares psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Min avsikt är därför att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever si

Uppsatsen baseras på en studie på en förskoleenhet bestående av tre förskolor, vilka angripit problematiken kring sjukskrivningar genom ett projekt, i syfte att skapa en friskare arbetsplats. Det empiriska arbetet grundar sig på tretton intervjuer bland de anställda på förskolorna och dessa analyseras med hjälp av Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Becks analyser av det samtida risksamhället samt Bosse Ange

Kriminalvårdsanstalten i Kristianstad/Vä har under det senaste året drabbats av omfattande besparingskrav. Detta har i sin tur inneburit genomgripande omstruktureringar och förändringar i verksamheten, framförallt i form av nerskärningar i personalstyrkan. Syftet med studien är att synliggöra och analysera konsekvenserna av det gångna årets besparingsåtgärder. Utifrån detta syfte har jag också for

Sammanfattningsvis har vi kommit fram till att Bottom of the Pyramid segmentet är ett outnyttjat segment gällande antalet aktiva multinationella företag där.

We consider envy-free and budget-balanced rules that are least manipulable with respect to agents counting or with respect to utility gains, and observe that for any profile of quasi-linear preferences, the outcome of any such least manipulable envy-free rule can be obtained via agent-k-linked allocations. Given this observation, we provide an algorithm for identifying agent-k-linked allocations.

We report on an international collaboration, the FERRUM Project, whichaims at extending the database of experimental oscillator strengths foriron group elements and possibly evaluating theoretical andastrophysical data. The selection of individual projects is made withrespect to their relevance for abundance work and plasma diagnostics inastrophysics. In this paper we present recent measurements o
