With the dawn of the digital era, software solutions are becoming of increasingly strategic importance for corporations, and due to the complexity of the products and the huge lock-in effects which they often give rise to, software-procurement is growing into a critical activity. However, due to the phenomena of information overload, finding and making use of the right information when making stra
The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio
In recent years it has become increasingly common for Swedish municipalities to calculate local carbon budgets (LCB) that reflects their fair share of the remaining common global carbon budget. The actions can be viewed as an attempt to make a fair contribution in compliance with the Paris Agreement. However, little is known about how Swedish municipalities uses their LCB:s in their daily work and
Uncertainty touches most aspects of life and cannot be avoided, anybody is frequently presented with situations wherein a decision must be made when he/she is uncertain of exactly how to proceed. Narrow down into Information Systems (IS) field, uncertainty could be regarded as a basic but difficult problem that every HCI designer need to deal with within their design process. The purpose of this t
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur rekryteringsprocesser kan agera som en förebyggande process mot agentproblem. Metod: Via en kvalitativ forskningsmetod genomfördes en enkel fallstudie med hjälp av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentation. Åtta intervjuer och två observationer genomfördes. Data analyserades med en kombination av pattern-matching och grundad teori. Teoretiska perspektPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how recruitment processes can help prevent the emergence of agency problems. Method: Following a qualitative research design, a single case study was conducted using interviews, observations and documentation. Eight interviews and two observations were conducted. Data was analysed through a combination of pattern-matching and grounded theory.

Thesis purpose: This thesis will through a case study of a recently rebranded bank “Jyske Bank”, seek to research deeper within the field of service sector rebranding. The internal communication used in connection to the rebranding, will be analyzed in order to investigate what initiatives Jyske Bank’s organizational leaders launched to implement the rebranding and furthermore whether the initiati
Sustainable development and sustainable urbanism has been receiving an increasingly influential role in urban development throughout the last decades, and many cities label themselves as ‘green’, ‘smart’, and ‘sustainable’. At the same time municipalities have been experiencing increasing economic pressure due to decentralization processes, which has resulted in them carrying a central role in dev
Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. This is because the cold, wet and anaerobic conditions lead to two opposing forces from a radiative forcing perspective – CO2 sequestration from photosynthesis b
The initiating impetus of this project was a frustration over the en-masse inaction experienced in relation to the climate crisis. Although people are aware of necessary actions few are able to act. This project attempts to understand people’s inability to act whilst looking at ways to counter this apathy through behavioral change. Through research on convenience, human behavior and inaction we a
Bakgrund: Detta projekt undersöker om det är möjligt att utveckla en kalibreringsmodell utifrån spektroskopiska mätningar i det nära infraröda (NIR) området, för bestämning av mängden och typen av fiberfraktioner i proteinpulver producerat från baljväxten alfalfa, utan att utföra våtexperiment. Alfalfa benämnas även Medicago sativa och lucerne, men kallas inom detta projekt alfalfa. En sådan typ aBackground: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa.
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka användandet av artificiell intelligens i rekrytering i Sverige samt att öka förståelsen för hur svenska rekryterare upplever implementeringen av artificiell intelligens i sitt dagliga arbete. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio rekryterare som, före datainsamlingen, hade implementerat artificiell inThe purpose of this study was to examine the usage of Artificial Intelligence in Swedish recruitment as well as gaining a greater understanding of how Swedish recruiters perceive and experience the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in their daily work. The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study using semistructured interviews with nine recruiters that, prior to the data colle
In Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.
Only recently has a geographical viewpoint on sustainability transitions opened up the containerized view on transition trajectories. Next to the important step of institutionalising niche logics transforming them into regime rationalities, the multi-scalar perspective reveals that niches, as well as regimes, can also upscale. This means that the socio-technical configuration of the niche or r
Med allt större efterfrågan på tillgänglig data ökar antalet REST API:er markant världen över. Varje REST API har någon form av referensdokumentation, vilket är avgörande för förståelsen samt användandet av ett API. Samtliga API-leverantörer bör således överväga optimering av referensdokumentationens användbarhet för att underlätta inlärning och användning av sin produkt. Denna masteravhandling uWith an increasingly growing demand for accessible data, the amount of REST API:s worldwide is growing. All REST API:s come with some form of reference documentation, which is crucial for the comprehension and usage of the API. Every API provider should therefore consider the usability of their reference documentation, to facilitate the learning and usage of their product. This master's thesi
Research shows that people living in socially disadvantaged areas have lower trust in the judiciary system and that the willingness to testify for crimes linked to criminal networks is low. The purpose of this study is to acquire further knowledge about the police perspective on working with these problems mentioned above. Our aim is to examine how they motivate witnesses and plaintiffs to coopera
6 % of all fractures are located at the proximal humerus. Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture amongst elderly and 80 % of the patients are women. Today there are no existing standardized treatment protocol for elderly with this kind of injury. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f
This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is
