The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effect of housework on wages for women and men in Sweden using both linear and non-linear specifications of the effect. Furthermore, we investigate the effort and selection hypotheses, i.e. whether the effect of housework on wages can be explained by reduced effort and/or selection into jobs which are more compatible with housework. Three methods are ap
Stress är vanligt förekommande i dagens arbetsliv och har visat sig vara en av de främsta faktorerna som leder till ohälsa, lägre produktivitet och sämre prestation. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka hur organisationer kan arbeta för att undvika stressade medarbetare. Studien tog avstamp i begreppen känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) och känsla av samhörighet, och ämnade att undersöka hur dessStress is common in today's working life and has proven to be one of the main factors that lead to ill-health, lower productivity and poorer performance. The purpose of the study was to investigate how organizations can work to avoid the stress of employees. The study began with the concepts of sense of coherence (SOC) and the sense of belongingness, and intended to explore how these concepts
Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using
Crowd modelling tools have been used over the last years to reproduce human behaviour in different large-scale evacuation scenarios, especially in stadia, arenas or buildings. However, little research has been made in outdoor festivals where a high amount of people may gather. Although some studies have tried to explain evacuation behaviours occurring during festival incidents, further research on
Accessibility and communication are important concepts applied in museology and museum sciences, but are they implemented optimally in museums today? We have chosen to explore the application of these concepts in two cultural institutions for this thesis: Lund University Historical Museum and Malmö Konsthall, and have studied their implementation of physical and digital communication, and accessib
Denna studie ämnar att skapa en förståelse för den komplexa relationen mellan journalister och PR-praktiker, genom att undersöka hur journaliststudenter i Skåne uppfattar sina roller som framtida journalister, deras syn på PR, samt journalisti-kens relation till PR.

The European Single Market is built on a patchwork of contract laws and according to the European Commission’s findings differences between contract laws of the respective Member States substantially complicate cross-border trade. More specifically, the fragmentation of contract laws contributes to increasing legal complexity and costs for businesses while lowering consumers’ confidence in shoppin
Nepal is one of the countries where remittances in proportion of the GDP are the highest with 28,8 per cent in 2013. A total of 7,2 per cent of Nepal’s population are found abroad and the remittances that they transfer back have been recognized to play an important role in reducing poverty in Nepal, even though critics argue that these remittances are only spent and not invested. The two aims of t
Facit var ett välkänt företag med världsomspännande verksamhet med bl.a. stor och lönsam tillverkning av mekaniska räknemaskiner. I början på 70-talet drabbades Facit av en överraskande kris som ledde till omfattande struktur-omvandling och personalnedskärningar. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka om man kan finna paralleller mellan förvarningsprocesser på nationell nivå och det som utspel
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
Denna studie undersökte gymnasieelevers sexualkunskapsnivå, deras attityder kring könsroller samt deras benägenhet att acceptera våldtäktsmyter. Våldtäktsmyter innebär falska påståenden kring våldtäkt som anses vara sanningsenliga av allmänheten, men som saknar empiriskt stöd. En webbenkät skickades ut till svenska och finlandssvenska ungdomar. Tre test användes för undersökningen; ett egenkonstru
The “Substitution Principle” gives the direction to substitute hazardous substances to less dangerous ones when possible. The idea of substituting substances to less dangerous alternatives is currently of concern and the “Substitution Principle” is one of the tools used to do so. This has come into focus since polluted lakes, air and/or land areas has ended up as consequences of chemical emissions
Familjeband är ett 12-15-veckors manualiserat program för anhöriga till personer med symptom på borderline personlighetssyndrom (BPS). Programmet bygger på Dialektisk beteendeterapi (DBT). Syftet med denna uppsats var att replikera Lundhs och Wångbys (2007) utvärdering av Familjeband, samt att se om det fanns skillnader vid resultat i användandet av två olika versioner av deltagarmaterialet, den u
För att kunna jämföra värdering av onoterade bolag med marknadsvärden värderas 38 st bolag strax efter att de noterats. Vi antar att värdering strax efter notering är en god approximation av värden för bolag strax före notering. Relativ värdering med P/E-, P/B- och P/S-multiplarna används för bolag i fastighets- och läkemedelsbranschen. Vid värdering av fastighetsbolag med P/B-multipeln är det sta
Mining bauxite and producing aluminium causes severe sustainability challenges. Although the usage of these non-renewable resource is inherently unsustainable, the global economy fosters an increased use of supposed “eco-friendly” aluminium. German industry is an important user of aluminium and a key player in the aluminium industry. The production of aluminium causes many sustainability challenge

This paper was carried out to find out if using existing risk and vulnerability-analysis can find centers of gravity (COG) and what consequences this could contribute with. Existing risk and vulnerability-analysis from Lund, Stockholm and Gotland was studied. By applying a COG-model, inspired by Eikmeiers theories, on these riskanalysis the result was that it is possible to find COG. Depending on
