It is this second phase of the recruitment process, the short-listing of potential candidates, that will be the focus of this thesis. Data has being gathered by the recruitment company through an i

Abstract Digital marketing has been widely explored within B2C while the development within B2B is slower. B2B companies still face difficulties to meet changed customer preferences for marketing and communication. Customers expect personalized marketing in real time, the information flow is changing and it is challenging, both for customers and companies, to handle all available data. This

Background and the Situation at Company X To remain competitive, it is essential for companies to take advantage of new business opportunities. However, seizing new opportunities often imply changes within the organization, and projects associated with change are bound to encounter resistance. To efficiently manage change and thereby avoid resistance and engage in measures that generate support fo

The aim of this study was to examine different factors that influenced former drug addicts to quit abusing drugs and make a role change. We chose a qualitative method and our study was based on semi-structured interviews with seven individuals about their turning point in their life as an active drug abuser. We did that by setting up meetings with our selected adults from two different organizatio

This report incorporates a product development project, carried out in close connection with the Malmö-based biotechnology concern - Eurodiagnostica - that specializes in development of diagnostical tools for human diseases. The product, that is to be set under development by this project, is a faecal extraction tool. The device will enable the process of dissolving a specified volume of human fae

The purpose of the thesis was to introduce the general process of the Modern Guide Dog Movement in Japan. The research was conducted by the fieldwork in Tokyo, spring 2011, under a main contribution from the Japan Guide Dog Association through interviews and participant observations. An in-depth study of the three-stage Modern Guide Dog Movement in Japan is presented and discussed in the thesis. D

Uppmärksamhetsbias har föreslagits vara involverat i både utveckling och vidmakthållande av tvångs- och ångestsyndrom. Befintlig forskning har emellertid genererat motsägelsefulla resultat och forskning avseende barn och ungdomar är begränsad, särskilt relaterat till tvångssyndrom. Vidare finns det ingen studie där uppmärksamhetsbias har undersökts i relation till Core Dimension Modellen (SummerfeBiased attentional processes have been implicated in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders (ADs) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, existing research has yielded inconsistent results and there is limited research with samples of children and adolescents, especially in relation to OCD. Further, there is no study examining attentional bias connected to the Core Dimensio

In increasingly turbulent environments, intrapreneurship has proven to be a crucial factor for established companies’ success and survival, showing a positive impact on innovation and organizational performance. Despite the strong importance that current research attaches to entrepreneurial employees in existing corporations, there remains a very limited understanding of their decision-making. The

This study investigated the efficiency of the treatment processes of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to remove severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) from the wastewater and sewage sludge, as well as the influence of the mode of operation on the quality of the treated wastewater. SARS-CoV-2 and PMMoV were detected and quantified at dif

The chapter focuses on how process is reviewed in the general framework of EU legal analysis applicable to national pre-authorisation schemes. By examining the model of judicial review developed by the Court of Justice in this regard, I hope to enrich the discussion on what process federalism within the Union can look like and how it may function. After some brief explanations regarding the charac

Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) microgels are versatile colloidal-scale polymer networks that exhibit unique responsiveness to external stimuli, such as temperature. While the synthesis of PNIPAM microgels is well-documented, there is limited exploration of how their structural properties can be modified by subtle changes in the polymerization process. In this work, we carefully investigate ho

Accurate production scheduling is an essential element to obtain high performing manufacturing facilities. By optimally allocating the available resources in a factory, improved equipment utilization, and hence production efficiency, can be reached. It is important that the planning considers factors that potentially restrict the available capacity, to access an uninterrupted process flow in the m

Size doesn't always matter - Especially when it comes to the brain of a Butterfly or a Moth Surely, we have have all seen those cartoons, where the smart scientist have a ridiculously big brain, “the bigger the better” as the saying goes. Well this is not always the case, brain tissue is actually one of the bodies biggest energy consumer, so if you are not using every bit of that brain, it w
