Organisational learning is assumed to be a part of creating improved work processes in an organisation. This type of learning can be difficult to achieve in operational and reactive work environments. Challenges in observable causality, time constraints and complex external conditions means that the operational control room is one of those reactive work environments. There is a need for a system t

Increases in global mean temperatures have caused the climate to change, affecting the frequency and magnitude of extreme events. Series of daily minimum temperatures for the period 1951-2014 has been analyzed in Sweden. It was found that cold extremes such as frost days, cold spells and annual minimum temperatures all show significant warming trends with a statistical significance of 90%. Frost d

In recent years, land acquisition has escalated due to increased global demand for food and fuel driven by population growth, urbanisation, and growing energy demand. Mozambique is ranked as one of the world’s top 10 countries with available land for agriculture, forestry and livestock production. Low labour costs and land taxes may further increase the interest in Mozambican land. In particular,

Under våren 2002 undersöktes ett område vid Vanneberga ängar vid Kristianstadsslättens randområde med målet att ge svar på kalkstenens beskaffenhet och dess betydelse för grundvattnets sårbarhet. I området utfördes resistivitets-, självpotential- och VLF-mätningar i syfte att hitta vattenförande zoner i kalkstenen. Kartering av skärningar och slukhål med avseende på karstfenomen gjordes för en disIn the spring of 2002, a region at Vanneberga meadows at Kristianstad Plain peripheral region was examined with respect to provide answers of the limestone nature and its significance for groundwater vulnerability. The area was examined with resistivity-, SP- and VLF measurements in order to find water-bearing structures in the limestone. Mapping of karst phenomena were made for the discussion of

The aim of this study is to describe how in the USA, book publishers and authors make use of film adaptations in the promotion of the books behind them. The investigation is based on the 22 books whose film adaptations made it into the top 100 of the American Box Office list from 2014, and it examines the film references that occur on the web pages created in order to promote these books. The resu

Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka kunskapen om och problematisera begreppet socialt entreprenörskap genom att undersöka vilka olika erfarenheter som finns i utvecklandet av Mötesplats Stapelbäddsparken i Malmö och att analysera dessa processer med hjälp av Austins begrepp möjlighet, individ, resursmobilisering och värdeerbjudande. Austin m fl. (2006) har utvecklat ett ramverk för socialt entreprenör

Modern agricultural practices give rise to environmental issues such as the eutrophication of waters (e.g. rivers and oceans). Increased knowledge and understanding of the negative consequences of nutritional leakage have led to comprehensive mitigation measures, one of which is the construction of wetlands. In order to achieve successful, cost-effective and sustainable measures it is essential to

I detta arbete granskas den svenska bevisrättens öppna utformning genom att jämföra den med det för den amerikanska bevisrätten centrala fallet Mapp v. Ohio. I fallet etablerades en exkluderingsregel vars syfte var att begränsa användningen av regelvidrigt införskaffad bevisning i brottmål. Fallet reser fundamentala frågor där man menar att bevisrätten inte bara bör utformas efter vad som fungerarThis study scrutinizes the Swedish theory of evidence, or lack thereof, through a side by side comparison of the US landmark case of Mapp v. Ohio contrasted with the Swedish law of evidence. Said case establishes an exclusionary rule entailing limitations on the usage of ill-gotten evidence on the part of state actors in criminal cases. It shows that the laws of evidence should not simply be a mat

The building sector is one that can be accounted for numerous impacts on the environment, both by extremely high consumption of resources, and by emitting green house gases to the atmosphere on a large scale. Retrofitting existing buildings tackles energetic and emission related issues and one way to go about such projects is through the process of high-performance building certification, within w

In recent years, the Arctic has been one of the most dynamic environments on Earth. As a result, scientific inquiry into the region has produced a large amount of data, with future projections of the volume of data for the Arctic as well as the Antarctic expected to increase by an order of magnitude. On the receiving end of these data, a challenge remains as how to best manage, archive and distrib

The present paradigm on transitional justice dictates that diverse interventions are needed in the aftermath of conflict. The West African country Liberia suffered from 14 years of civil war that ended in 2003 and is now the location for several interventions run by local NGO’s funded from abroad. In the rural post-conflict communities of Liberia’s Northern region, Lofa County, The Community Heali

Photoionisation dynamics occurring in Ar and N2O upon the absorption of soft X-ray radiation, have been studied through the extraction of the beta parameter from the angular distributions of Ar 2p 3/2 and N2O Nt 1s photoelectrons by a means of Velocity Map Imaging Spectroscopy. The results of beta determined in the dipole approximation for N2O at different photon energies, coincided with pre-docu

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,

Inter-governmental climate talks have, over a twenty-year period, had little success in implementing measures to mitigate human-induced climate change. Their fundamental perspective, one of economic rationality, has not provided a compelling or effective basis for achieving their desired goals. Over the same interval, at the local scale, various constituencies have come together to address climate

Abstract The current Standard Model cannot explain many properties of the neutrino, including its mass. Models exist where a postulated heavy Majorana neutrino will give rise to the observed small neutrino mass currently observed. This thesis presents a search for indications of Majorana neutrinos with focus on finding heavy neutrinos and W_R-bosons predicted by the Left-Right Symmetric Model. Pro

This thesis deals with justice in urban planning and development. In 2010 the municipal board in Gothenburg initiated a workgroup to create a vision which had the purpose to serve as a platform for further development in the central part of the city and to deal with the pattern of increasing segregation and polarization. “Vision Älvstaden” includes the development of the former dock area Frihamnen

The free movement of people is one of the basic principles within the EU and shall also apply to family members. Family law is governed nationally and is not a part of the EU legislative competence. This results in different family laws between member states. Complications arise since some of the EU member states recognize same-sex marriage while other member states do not. In member states where

The development for Skanska Commercial Development (SCD) during the last years has been positive on all markets and Skanska therefore plans on expanding their activity. Central and Eastern Europe has had a considerable economic development, what is assessed to continue during the next following years. Bucharest is one possible alternative in the CEE for a new establishment by SCD. However, the inv
