En studie om sökta och erhållna belöningar genom användning av Enterprise Social Media: ett medarbetarperspektiv Många anser att ESM har potentialen att både förenkla och förbättra samarbete, och stärka det ”sociala kapitalet”, men ändå misslyckas 80% av implementationerna. Denna studie hoppas ge insikter i vad som driver de som ändå använder ESM, med förhoppningen att bidra till fler lyckade fraA study of the gratifications sought and obtained through using Enterprise Social Media: an employee perspective Although ESM is widely held to have the potential to improve both collaborative efficiency and to strengthen social ties among employees, around 80% of ESM implementations fail. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of why some people do use ESM, which in turn can lead to

In this essay, the feminine ideals in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, Doris Lessing’s “To Room Nineteen” and Alice Munro’s “Too Much Happiness” are analysed and compared to the ideal of the Angel in the House – an ideal that originates from Coventry Patmore’s poem The Angel in the House and was popularised by Virginia Woolf’s paper “Professions for Women”. In addition, the consequences of this

På dagens avloppsreningsverk används i stor grad bakterier för att bli av med kväve i avloppsvattnet och på så sätt minska risken för övergödning och algblomning i våra sjöar, vattendrag och havsområden. Den biologiska reningsmetod som är vanligast idag leder dock till att en stor del av näringsämnet kväve går förlorat upp i luften i form av kvävgas tillsammans med en viss del lustgas. Lustgas är The importance of recycling nutrients becomes more important as the finite resources starts running out, and recycling of urine nutrients is an important factor in developing a sustainable society that takes advantage of nutrients already existing in the system. Urine only represents one percent of the domestic wastewater volumetric flow, but contains 80 % of the nitrogen, 50 % of the phosphorus a

Conclusions: The findings of this paper suggest that management control in Swedish primary care is highly dependent upon the context. Similarities and differences between private and public providers originates from the characteristics of the organisation and how they choose to adapt to the context.

This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t

Satsningar på spårvägs investeringar i Skåne är efterfrågade av olika kommuner bland annat en regional spårväg mellan Höganäs- Helsingborg. Sträckan studeras ytterligare av de trafikperspektiven som tycks vara bristfälliga, punktlighet, kapacitet, restid och tillgänglighet. Hur nöjda resenärer är med dagens trafik studeras samt vilka eventuella problem som kan behöva åtgärdas. Det studeras också o

India’s productivity of rice production lags behind China’s. Given its status as global food supplier, it is not only national but also world’s concern. As part of an effort to improve rice productivity, India increased investments in research on breeding, which has resulted in many new varieties with higher yield suitable and available for Indian farmers. Despite the effort to encourage hybrid ri

The use of machine learning as a tool in medicine is increasing and has provided new avenues for research into a number of diseases. Creating better predictive models for these diseases could provide opportunities for better care, which we have applied to osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that affects a large part of the older population. We have sought to answer ``Is it possible to predict

Asymmetric synthesis has been an active research topic for the past decades since it can lead to enantiopure compounds that are of great importance in biology and medicinal chemistry. Among all the synthetic strategies that have been developed, asymmetric ring-opening of epoxides received much attention for their ability to providing precursors for β-amino alcohols. Efforts have been made to achie

Public participation is vital to ensure sustainable water management, and providing education is one of the way to trigger participation. For decades, developed countries try to educate their citizen to be environmentally literate, and for the water sector, water-related knowledge has been introduced to the public by schools, municipalities and water utilities. The condition is harder for developi

Phytophthora infestans cause severe losses in potato cultivation. Currently one of the most effective ways to reduce the related loss is using fungicides. For these to have optimal effect they must be applied approximately 10 days before the first visual sign of late blight. As the appearance of late blight is hard to predict there is heavy overcompensation of fungicides nowadays. By better foreca

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine, which of those variables suggested by past research – i.e. consumer attitude, store image, perceived price, packaging and perceived quality - have a significant influence on the customer’s purchase behaviour of organic private labels. Methodology: A quantitative study with a deductive approach and a cross-sectional design was chosen to obtain qua

Methodology: A qualitative method consisting of a questionnaire with 13 open questions. The empirical data consists of responses from nine creditors. Theoretical pe

As current approaches of climate change communication addressing the public have proven rather ineffective not triggering action on climate change, including behaviour changes in a more sustainable direction, this thesis seeks to lay the basis for prospective climate change communication strategies addressing German university students and therefore, to contribute to climate change communication s

The era of globalization and its multiple impacts around the world have affected the knowledge and skills that education should provide. This thesis examines global citizenship education (GCE) in the Finnish education context. The previous research of GCE in Finland revealed that there is a lack of understanding for what GCE is. This is the main reason for conducting this thesis. The thesis explai

The purpose of this study is to examine if brand-context congruence has an effect on customer-based brand equity and whether brand image impacts this relationship. The relationship between an ad and the surrounding context, so called context congruence, has gained a lot of attention. This as it has been shown to generate beneficial outcomes for brands, such as better brand recall, recognition, and

Swedish cities are under constant development, and this also applies to the city of Lund. To maintain its rich cultural heritage, modernization is conducted in harmony with preservation of the city. The historical structure of the city, with narrow cobblestone streets causes some difficulties in terms of accessibility for the traffic. As the transports to the center of Lund constitutes a strain on
