Denna uppsats undersöker närmare det forum som sociala medier är för organisat-ioner. Genom en fallstudie på Findus och hästköttskandalen där diskursanalys, samt intervjuer varit metodvalen har vi kunnat se att samhällsdiskurser och orga-nisationers informationshantering är stora faktorer vid negativ ryktesspridning. Resultat visar att framförallt diskursanalys kan vara ett starkt verktyg till att
Antal och val av förstärkningsuttryck skiljer sig mellan kvinnor och män. Några slumpmässigt utvalda informanter bekräftar tidigare forskningsresultat att kvinnor använder fler förstärkningsuttryck än män, samt att de svär i mindre utsträckning. Den bekräftar också att den så kallade ackommodationsteorin stämmer så tillvida att män och kvinnor anpassar sitt val och antal förstärkningsuttryck till
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka så kallade luffarsäkra bänkar och fenomenet exkluderande design ur ett ideologiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen inleds med en definition av begreppet ideologi. Analysens tillvägagångssätt består i studier av exkluderande design samt litteratur- och mediastudier. Grundläggande begrepp som ideologi och hegemoni har analyserats men också frågor som rör exkluderande des
In a globalized world with increasing international trade, it is highly important to accurately determine environmental impacts resulting from pollution embodied in trade. This study examines carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions embodied in international trade of the United Kingdom from a consumption perspective, rather than the more conventional production side, during the period 1995-2009. The analysi
Food waste, a consequence of not keeping food fresh! This really became one of our main objectives to tackle during the project. Food waste that is produced today has a great impact on our world throughout the whole cycle of food production to the plate of the consumer. Design a new way of serving and presenting buffets in the Scandinavian hospitality sector, for minimizing food waste and increa
This thesis presents a study of iron oxide thin films, grown on a silver metal substrate, with the goal of characterizing the structures that form during growth of the first atomic layers. Such ultra-thin iron oxides are interesting model materials for fundamental surface chemistry and catalysis studies. The films were grown by reactive deposition of iron under ultra-high vacuum conditions and cha
Problem: I dagens samhälle har organisationsförändringar blivit allt vanligare och de anses vara allt viktigare för organisationers fortsatta utveckling. Inom den tidigare forskningen tas det enligt vår åsikt för lite hänsyn till medarbetare i relation till deras funktion inom organisationer. Syfte: Vi vill visa hur medarbetarna inom polismyndigheten upplever den interna kommunikationen kring förä
The concept of trade facilitation has gained increased attention during the past decade. In today’s globalized world, the relative cost of inefficient trade procedures has increased. The underlying aim of this study is to investigate whether inefficient trade procedures affect exports. More specifically, whether Ghana can increase its export volumes and/or export diversification by engaging in tra
The first aim of this thesis were to analyze China’s discourse of soft power in relation to their investments in the Zambian mining industry from the year 2000 to 2012. From a combination of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis and Joseph Nye’s soft power theory, I can conclude, that in the 12 years period the Chinese soft power discourse was dominating and China could persuade and attr
During the late 20th century, large parts of the contributions to management theory consisted of concepts on management control systems. The purposes of these were often focused on manual labor and they directed the effort to control employees in order to get competitive advantage, typically through increased productivity (Simons, 1990). Today, however, the focus has shifted from control in labor-
På dagens arbetsplatser används informations- och kommunikationsverktyg i allt större utsträckning. Användningen har, utifrån vissa aspekter, visat sig inverka negativt på de anställdas arbete och på den interna kommunikationen. Tidigare forskning har berört stress orsakad av informations- och kommunikationsteknologi (IKT) men få studier har gjorts för att studera hur anställda upplever arbetet meIn today's workplace, information and communication technology (ICT) have seen an increased use and certain aspects of this use has proved to have a negative impact on employees' work performance and on the internal communication within an organization. Previous research has examined stress caused by ICT, but few studies have been done in order to study how employees perceive their work wi
The theme of this essay is to examine how prophet stories are presented for children. The specific aim is to analyze the narrative structure of two texts presenting the story of Adam. The study uses two Arabic children texts presenting the Story of Prophet Adam (pbuh). The study starts with presenting some theories and their typological frame of narratology and some of their narratological tools,
In today's rapidly changing business environment, organizations strive to be agile in order to accommodate changes and seize opportunities. Since organizations use information system as a tool to serve their needs, it is important for these systems also to be agile. One prominent type of such systems is business intelligence, which provides organizations with information to gain and retain com
This paper will provide different analysis over the Brazilian innovation system, on how it has developed over time, the key features in the system and the next steps in development. In order to better explain the evolution and to evaluate the system, the author will provide systematic, functional, economic, historic and international analysis, based on frameworks proposed by academics in the innov
Bildstyrd strålterapi är en process bestående av att ta 2D eller 3D bilder under strålbehandlingens gång och används för att försäkra sig om att patienten är positionerad på samma sätt som referensbilden för att få samma dos som planerades (beräknat på referens bilden). I det här arbetet har en 3D scanning av patientens positionering jämförs med en CT referensbild för patienten. Efter matchen, somPurpose: The aim of this study is to a) study the benefits and limitations with soft-tissue match for lung cancer patients, b) evaluate five different soft-tissue match methods, c) compare soft-tissue with bony match, d) find the stable surrogates to match on for obscured malignant lymph nodes, e) calculate CTV to PTV and OAR margins and volume of PTV for the corresponding margins, and d) study th
Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige och står ensam för 30 % av cancerdiagnoserna. Detta innebär att varje dag får 20 kvinnor beskedet att de har drabbats av bröstcancer. Idag får ungefär 50 % av alla cancerpatienter strålbehandling och på strålbehandlingsavdelningen vid Skånes universitetssjukhus (SUS) behandlas flertalet bröstcancerpatienter dagligen. Vanligast är aBackground and purpose: Post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer patients is associated with cardiac and pulmonary complication. By utilizing different respiratory gating techniques the absorbed dose to the heart and lung can decrease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare enhanced inspiration gating (EIG) and deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH). The use of
