This thesis takes on the distribution of influence at the local level of the Church of Sweden from a legitimacy theory perspective. It is argued that the high levels of member resignation could be viewed as a manifested lack of confidence due to the failing legitimacy of the Church of Sweden. In order to continue the academic discussion on the democratic relation between the Church and its members
Helsingborgs stad anställdas syn på hållbar utveckling Helsingborg stad har satt upp nya målsättningar kring sitt hållbarhetsarbete. Men enbart hälften av de tillfrågade förstår vad begreppet hållbar utveckling betyder. Om tjänstemännen i kommunen inte förstår begreppet hur ska kommunen då kunna uppfylla de nya målsättningarna? Studien har visat att runt hälften av de medverkande har en god insiktThe municipality of Helsingborg, located in Scania implemented the Livskvalitetsprogrammet (The programme of living quality) in 2016. The goal with the programme is to unite sustainable development and quality of life. The work with the programme will continue towards 2024. I was given the assignment to research the knowledge of the programme throughout the organisation. The questionnaire is to be
This Master thesis is investigating how communities of practice can enhance knowledge sharing in a context of improving a harmonized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used in supply chain. A student from the faculty of production and materials engineering at Lund university (LTH) collaborated with the Global Trinity organization from Alfa Laval (Lund, Sweden) to answer the research que
Given the rise of new startups and the challenges amplified by events like the Covid-19, it is critical to address the notion of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem which, in turn, facilitates the development of new ventures. One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac
Begreppet rättssäkerhet används ofta både inom och utom den rättsvetenskapliga sfären. Eftersom man inte sällan möter det i den allmänna debatten i Sverige, syftar den här uppsatsen till att undersöka om begreppet i det sammanhanget används i samma betydelse som inom rättsvetenskapen. Undersökningen tar avstamp i vad framstående svenska rättsvetare har uttryckt ifråga om att definiera begreppet rThe Swedish equivalent of the term “the rule of law”, namely “rättssäkerhet”, is widely used both within and outside of the sphere of legal research. Since it is often seen in the Swedish public debate, this essay aims to examine whether the term is used in the same denotation in this context, as it is within the context of legal studies. This examination starts off by compiling and collating wha
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida ESG-betyg har någon påverkan på skuldkostnaden hos europeiska industriföretag. Vidare ämnar studien att bidra med empiriskt material för att ge en tydligare inblick i relationen mellan ESG och Cost of debt för företag i koldioxidintensiva sektorer. Metod: Studien antar en deduktiv ansats med kvantitativ metod. För att tydliggöra sambandet mPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ESG ratings have any impact on cost of debt in European industrial companies. Furthermore, the study intends to contribute with empirical material to provide a clearer insight into the relationship between ESG and cost of debt for companies in carbon dioxide-intensive industries. Method: The study adopts a deductive approach with a quan
This study develops the concept of 'realms of carbon’ to advance an understanding of climate politics in sites where carbon production and consumption, generating carbon emissions, is embedded in culture and identity. It does so by drawing on insights of three different theories, which in different ways, deal with dimensions of culture and identity to economic and political life. The study fur
Tidigare forskning lyfter fram betydande fördelar med den digitala marknadsföringen, samtidigt som det framförs att det är av vikt att behålla den traditionella marknadsföringen. Vad som är viktigt, oavsett om strategin baseras på traditionell eller digital marknadsföring, är en strategi som kommunicerar ett tydligt varumärke och anpassar sig efter kunden. Därmed menar tidigare forskning att en ko
Studien undersöker hur ledare kan legitimera sin auktoritära politik med hjälp av sin retorik, mer specifikt undersöks detta i El Salvadors kontext om presidenten Naiyb Bukele. Presidenten har sedan det initiala införandet av undantagstillstånd den 27 mars 2022 förnyat detta 21 gånger, ett tal som många länder anser är för stort. Undantagstillståndet tillåter Bukele att agera utanför lagens ramar
In the ecumenical global discourse, sexuality is often said to be “the most divisive issue”. Despite this, there have been and still are many ongoing conversations on this matter. One significant example is the document Conversations on the Pilgrim Way: Invitation to Journey Together on Matters of Human Sexuality, which was produced by the World Council of Churches and released in 2022. This mast
This thesis examines Russia’s official justifications for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, focusing on the construction and dissemination of key narratives within its rhetoric. Through a combined narrative and discourse analysis, the study explores how these narratives, centered on security concerns, ideological threats, and humanitarian arguments, serve to legitimize the use of force. Key narr
The cultural significance of dairy milk in Sweden is deeply ingrained, with dairy products being a staple at the breakfast table. However, the past decade has witnessed a formidable challenge to the traditional Swedish dairy industry, with the rise of plant-based milk alternatives. The emergence of new preferences has spurred the ascent of brands like Oatly. The Swedish oat drink producer Oatly, w
Conventional Quality of Service(QoS) measurements are incapable to meet the demand for analysing communication performance on timeliness of information in Industrial Control Networks with many connected subsystems. The Age of Information (AoI) and the Age of Actuation (AoA) give a promise to be a solution. Many recent research articles cover theoretical aspects and analyse performance characterist
The aim of this special issue of JEMS is to explore the inherent contradictions and tensions of transnational engagement and reveal how these are played out at different levels, intersecting with other social markers based on gender, class, ethnicity, etc. While transnational engagements span territories and transcend spatial fixation, they might also provide stabilised identities for those involv
In this paper, perforated shear connectors (perfobond), used extensively in steel-concrete composite (SCC) beams, are implemented in timber-concrete composite beams (TCC) and experimentally investigated. In contrast to its original use, the perfobond connector is connected with an adhesive to the timber beam while welded in the SCC solution. On the concrete slab side, connection is achieved using
Decision biases reinforce firms’ tendency to develop innovations based on narrow economic motivations. Consequently, sustainability-oriented ideas explicitly targeting social and environmental issues are easily discarded in idea selection when trade-offs between economic and sustainability values are faced. Given the so far limited knowledge about how sustainability-oriented ideas are developed an
The recognized importance of systemic and dynamic perspectives on both AI and innovation management calls for the retheorization to support the AI technology adoption in innovation management. As extant knowledge about a systems approach to realize dynamic roles of both augmentation and automation of AI-human collaboration in innovation management is limited, this study aims to explore how to leve
