Conclusions: The findings of this paper suggest that management control in Swedish primary care is highly dependent upon the context. Similarities and differences between private and public providers originates from the characteristics of the organisation and how they choose to adapt to the context.
This thesis investigates environmental justice through the lens of the Sustainability Prism Model. Its purpose is to assess a post-industrial focus on environmental sustainability in the built environment using the four aspects of the Sustainability Prism: economy, ecology, equity, and livability. The study of eco-gentrification – the inequities that result as a consequence of the implementation o
This thesis will analyze the Confucius Institute at Suez Canal University in Egypt. Since 2004 China has been establishing Confucius Institute around the World. The official task of these institutes is to teach Chinese language and culture to foreign publics. However, there are many different opinions about these institutes, and thus superiority of a certain position is absent. Some of the previou
With Mahsa Amini’s death in Iran on the 13:th of September a series of protests began that are still ongoing today. With the help of previous literature, research, a qualitative interview and three fictional scenarios; nothing happens, a political revolution takes place or a social revolution takes place, the paper aims to qualitatively come to a conclusion on what the most likely scenario is afte
As systems become increasingly more complex, it is doubtful that conventional models of accident investigation can provide insight into accidents which occur in these complex systems. In safety science this problem has been recognized, and accident models using a systems approach have been developed to illuminate these complex systems. However, they have not been widely applied in the railway sect
Internationell investeringsrätt är ett mycket komplext rättsområde som består av cirka 3000 internationella investeringsavtal som syftar till att främja och skydda utländska investeringar. De tillhandahåller en tvistlösningsmekanism kallad investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mellan investerare och stater som ger investerare rätt att stämma värdstater direkt inför internationella skiljedomstolInternational investment law (IIL) is a highly complex area of law that consists of around 3000 international investment agreements (IIAs) that aim to promote and protect foreign investment. They provide for investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) which gives investors the right to sue host States directly through international arbitral tribunals. During the last decade, this system has received
This thesis is a case study of the democratic consolidation in Spain. The study initially presents theories on democratic consolidation, as interpreted and defined by renowned political scientist. Then, different factors are presented known to have contributed to democratization in the Spanish case. These are; the role of the military refurbishment, the impact of EU membership, the actions of King
An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. The experimental setup used was made up of various detector systems, including Gammasphere for γ-ray detection, Microball in combination with two
This thesis concerns the successive use of fixed-term contracts under Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement in the sector of sports and whether such usage provides protection from dismissal for pregnant workers. This was done by using a legal dogmatic method in the field of EU law. The paper starts with identifying the role of sports in EU labour law. It was held that sports have a special standing
In the contemporary globalised era, social and economic development is being increasingly associated with extractivism. Opening up resource markets to multinational extractive industries is a common strategy used by Latin American states for promoting economic growth and reducing poverty. This thesis is a case study of the current establishment of large scale mining in the Tropical Andes of Ecuado
Studies show that urban highways play a vital role in facilitating transportation within metropolitan areas, yet they often come with significant drawbacks, including physical barriers, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In Sweden, where the transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, the city of Gothenburg stands as a prime example of these challenges. Located a
This thesis investigates the conflict surrounding the expansion of wind-turbines at Østerild test-centre in Denmark, analysing narratives from two local groups actively opposing the expansion in relation to the state narrative proposing the test-centre expansion. Utilising an environmental governmentality lens and Foucault’s concept of counter-conduct, the study explores how local groups' oppo
Tendons connect muscle to bone and assist in joint motion. To be able to do this, they must withstand large forces and be able to alter their structure under load. If a tendon experiences too high or sudden forces, it will start to tear and eventually rupture. To examine how this happens and how the tendon behaves before rupture, mechanical testing is done. This study focuses on how to combine mec
This thesis aims to study the long-term impact of extractive institutions structured around colonial sugar cultivation on economic development in Java. A spatial district-level model is used in combination with a panel data approach. Two different indicators of colonial sugar cultivation are analysed: one measuring the Cultivation System and one measuring the Liberal Period. The findings suggest t
This study examines the influence of organizational culture on Management Control Systems (MCS) in international startups. It uses a qualitative case study of a startup in the sharing economy sector, which is presented under the pseudonym CompanyX. The research aims to understand how cultural values influence MCS design and effectiveness, specifically through examining what CompanyX refers to as K
Purpose: This thesis provides insights in the perceived values and the level of involvement associated with buying organic food among occasional organic consumers in Sweden. Methodology: Based on the framework of the actors approach and using an abductive methodological perspective, this thesis has been constructed with a qualitative research strategy, and carried out through in-depth interviews.
In this thesis we study the width of the Higgs boson in the process pp → t ̄t 4l at LO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO to generate the events. The contributions including the Higgs signal, continuum background and interference were considered in order to calculate the expected number of events in a broad range of four-lepton invariant masses. Due to strongly enhanced off-shell contributions an upper bound
Tonkilometermetoden används för beräkning av andelstal för enskilda vägar som är gemensamhetsanläggningar. Den trafikmängd som olika fastighetstyper genererar återspeglas i vissa framtagna schablonvärden. Eftersom det saknas framtagna schablonvärden för specialfastigheter såsom vindkraftverk och vattenkraftverk har jag genom detta examensarbete undersökt möjligheten att ta fram schablonvärden för
The Jute-ICARE initiative by the Government of India aims to address climate change's impact and improve jute farmers' livelihoods. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities for jute farmers in adopting the scheme's technologies using the DPSIR framework and the social learning theory. Inadequate information dissemination to farmers and differing perspectives between pol
