Då människors vardagliga liv allt oftare genomsyras av medierat material är det viktigt att närmare studera hur detta material kan påverka människors verklighetsuppfattning. Denna studie granskar hur hjälporganisationer i sina kampanjfilmer väljer att porträttera lidande och medlidande. De sätt som kampanjfilmerna väljer att illustrera lidande och medlidande på får konsekvenser för hur betraktarna
Swedish national legislation and environmental objectives state that cities should be planned in a coherent and sustainable approach, and in a way that limits the need for private cars. External commercial establishments are often brought up in the discussion of sustainable urban planning, since the locations result in urban sprawl and an increase in car traffic. This study examines how municipali
Socio-economic variables substantially determine fertility behavior and female labor force participation. Temporal fluctuations in socio-economic determinants of fertility and female labor force participation seem inevitable since they are subject to societal developments in the Philippines. Examining socio-economic variables over time contributes to an enhanced understanding of the current status
Mergers and Acqusitions (M&A) gör det möjligt för organisationer att utveckla sin verksamhet. Genom genomförandet av en M&A kan organisationer tillskansa sig olika typer av synergieffekter som leder till att organisationen kan utvecklas. Många organisationer är även beroende av de informationssystem (IS) som används för intern informationsspridning. Samtidigt som antalet genomförda M&A

The proliferation of poverty and global inequality between and within the countries has resulted in an emerging consensus among the actors in the field of international development on the importance of social policies in the process of development. One type of social policy measures employed to tackle poverty is Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT). These have been formed within the World Bank Group a
En föränderlig omvärld ställer ständigt nya krav på organisationer; utveckling och anpassning är ständigt pågående processer. Framgångsrika idéer har blivit en handelsvara som recept på framgång. I dag har dessutom ett större antal av dagens medarbetare kapacitet att ta till sig de idéer som florerar och kommunikationsforskningen har inte riktigt hunnit med i denna aspekt. Denna uppsats är en kvalAn ever changing world is constantly putting new demands on organizations; development and adjustment are ongoing processes. Successful ideas have become merchandises as recipes for success. Additionally, a larger amount of co-workers has the capability to embrace the flourishing ideas and the communicational research has not been up-todate in this matter. This thesis is a qualitative case study o
Tomas Eloy Martínez´ Santa Evita displays a profusion of ekphrastic sequencies through which the photographic representations become a recurring theme. This study examines these descriptions of photographies with the purpose of studying what the inclusion of this visual collage responds to and what place this occupies in the temporal development and in the general imaginary economy of the work. To

Due to circumstances like increased competition and difficulties competing on traditional parameters, companies in the office space market want to develop their offers. The Authors investigates what the current offer really is, why it looks the way it does, and possible cases of differentiation. The thesis aims to investigate the current offer to office-tenants and how it is presented, to examine
A theoretical study is presented, in which the nonlinear response of a bi-ased Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) is calculated. The calculations are based on the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. Assuming a periodic electromagnetic field in the calculations, this formalism provides not only the stationary behavior Green’s functions, but also the part of the response that varies in time according
Organizational Learning is regarded as a major factor that leverages the competitive advantage of a company. Nowadays, many enterprises are relying on Knowledge Management systems for various purposes, but the utilization of these systems for enhancing Organizational Learning has not reached its optimum level. In the actual context, the purpose of the research is to determine how Knowledge Managem

The purpose of this study is to investigate if a CRE sale and lease back transaction generates a positive abnormal return on the lessee’s stock value, by using event study methodology. Furthermore, the probable relationship between the positive abnormal return and the transaction value, as well as the cash flow is investigated by using linear regression. A short term as well as a long term perspec
