PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis is to investigate why companies currently are not using social media for IR in Sweden. More specific, we are studying driving and inhibiting factors that are influencing Swedish companies to use, or not to use, this communication technology for IR. METHOD Our thesis addresses the attitudes towards using social media for IR among Swedish companies listed on the OM
Natural resources hold a great potential for both economic and social development in developing countries. Many countries in Africa today are rich in natural resources but remain poor and underdeveloped. Policies and legislation within this sector need to provide a good framework in order for the natural resources to be properly managed. This report aims at discussing the difficulties in managing
The purpose with this master thesis has been to reduce the number of accidents and incidents related to spillage and discharge of product. This has been done by assessing the safety culture and strategies have been proposed on how to act upon the shortcomings that have been revealed in the assessment. An adjusted model has been developed for the assessment of the safety culture. The adjusted model
To feel good is something most of us strive for in life. Research has shown that it is possible to increase subjective well-being by use of different self-help techniques from the field of positive psychology. The aim of this study was to investigate if it is possible to decrease depressive symptoms and increase the subjective well-being in a group of district nurses by applying a self-help techni
Germany’s current energy grid was built to match energy production from major power plants (coal, gas, nuclear). Due to the 2011 decision to exit all nuclear power until 2022 and ambitious national CO 2 reduction targets, the need to modernise and extend the grid has received substantial attention. In the past, implementation of grid extension projects had shown to be slow and raise serious pu
Uppsatsen behandlar hur handläggare inom fyra olika myndigheter klarar av sin jobbiga arbetssituation. Avsikten med studien är att försöka ta reda på vilka sociala strategier handläggarna måste utveckla för att klara av sin arbetsdag samt var de hittar motivation för att kunna utföra sina arbetsuppgifter. En kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer används, då jag vill komma åt han
Förbudet mot åldersdiskriminering implementerades i svensk lagstiftning den 1 januari 2009 genom en sammanhållen Diskrimineringslag (2008:567). Bakgrunden till förbudet återfinns i EU:s direktiv 2000/78/EG om inrättande aven allmän ram för likabehandling. Direktivet fastställer att åldersdiskriminering i arbetslivet måste bekämpas för att likabehandlingsprincipen ska kunna genomföras i medlemsstatThe prohibition against age discrimination was entered into force on 1 January 2009, through the comprehensive Discrimination Act (2008:567). The Swedish protection against discrimination on the grounds of age are based on the Directive 2000/78/EC Employment Framework, whose purpose is to combat age discrimination in the working life and to put the principle of equal treatment into effect in the M
Background: Physiotherapy research concerning interventions for children with CP is often focused on collecting evidence of the superiority of particular therapeutic methods or treatment modalities. Articulating and documenting the use of theory, instrumentation and research design and the assumptions underlying physiotherapy research interventions are important. Physiotherapy interventions focusi
A search for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson decaying via H -> ZZ -> l(+)l(-)q (q) over bar, where l = e, mu, is presented. The search is performed using a data set of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC collider. No significant excess of events above the estimated background is found.
Background and aims: Anti-alpha 4 integrin therapy with natalizumab is efficacious in refractory Crohn's disease and in multiple sclerosis, but carries an estimated 1/1000 risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) caused by reactivation of latent JC virus infection. Athough anti-alpha 4 integrin therapies are likely to be introduced in the clinic, screening for the risk of PML has n
The large difference between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale, known as the hierarchy problem, is addressed in certain models through the postulate of extra spatial dimensions. A search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions in the diphoton channel has been performed using the full set of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN La
