The purpose of this study is to compare social media's role in the proactive crisis communication planning in two administrations, two companies and two non-profit organizations. A qualitative comparative study method has been used and people familiar with social media and crisis communications work from each business has been interviewed. The interviews have been transcribed and analyzed to discover the opinions and reasoning about how businesses work with proactive crisis communication and the role they give social media. The interviews were analyzed based on selected theories and previous research in strategic crisis communications, where issues management and crisis communication plans have a significant role. Also research on the pros and cons of social media and crisis communications channels have been used.

IRB 340, Flexpicker is an industrial robot used for sorting, packaging and the handling of details up to two kg. The Flexpicker is a delta robot, meaning that it with three arms controls a triangular plate, swivel, in a work area shaped like a cylinder. Joints using plain bearings connect the arms.The plain bearing in use today consists of a plastic ring which slides against a hard anodized joint ball. Despite the fact that the plastic contain friction-lowering additives, the bearing needs to be lubricated to prevent noise. Because the robot is used in food and drug handling environments, where the demands on hygiene are set very high, the robot is often washed.

Combustion of fossil fuels is today the dominating source of energy. During combustion,carbon dioxide is formed. The carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere,which raises the global average temperature on earth through the so called greenhouseeffect. The only way to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide from combustionin a coal fired power plant is through carbon capture and storage (CCS).Post-combustion capture is a technology to separate carbon dioxide from the uegas after the combustion for efficient transport and storage. The steady state operationof coal fired power plants with post combustion capture has already beenthoroughly investigated on a pilot scale, however much work remains to investigatethe plants dynamic operation.

This thesis examines the everyday resistance, and its interaction with cultural hybridity, of the Saami population in the administrative unit of Torne lappmark during the period 1639?1732. To do this, the thesis uses theoretical concept of everday resistance as it has been described by JamesC. Scott and the theories of cultural hybridity as they have been described by Peter Burke. Primary source material used in this thesis consists of the court records from Torne lappmark, specifically from the courts at Jukkasjärvi and Enontekis.The results of this thesis present a picture of the everyday resistance in early modern Torne lappmark.

SAMMANFATTNINGI Sverige finns 70 sjukhusbundna akutmottagningar varav ett flertal utav dessa har en barnakutmottagning som har dygnsöppen verksamhet. Resterande sjukhus tar emot barn, men bemannas inte av specialiserade barnsjuksköterskor. Vanliga orsaker till att barn uppsöker en akutmottagning är i samband med skada, då de har feber, andningspåverkan eller vid problem med gastrointestinalkanalen. På ett flertal sjukhus används inte någon triageringsmodell för att bedöma barnet, vilket annars anses som en fördel eftersom barnet då bedöms utifrån liknande riktlinjer. Triagering används för att snabbt identifiera den patient som är svårast sjuk och därmed även i behov av snabbast vård och behandling.

In many biomedical contexts, e. g. when evaluating hearing disorders, the data obtained can be described as pairs (x1, y1), ?, (xn, yn) where x is a quantitative variable and y a 0/1 variable whose probability of taking the value 1 is a monotonic function of x. One way of analysing such data is to perform probit regression; thereby two parameters, b0 (= the constant) and b1 (= the slope) are estimated; the interest centres around m = -b0/b1, i.

Komponentavskrivning blev aktuellt i samband med att EU valde att följa de standarder som IASB utfärdade. Efter införandet av K3-regelverk för svenska företag kom det att bli ännu mer aktuellt med komponentavskrivning i Sverige.Då tidigare forskning har riktat kritik mot komponentavskrivning, fann vi det intressant att undersöka vilka svårigheter som kan finnas med komponentavskrivning i ett petrokemiskt företag utifrån två olika perspektiv. Med detta som grund valde vi att undersöka vilka svårigheter som fanns utifrån ett redovisningsperspektiv och ett operativt perspektiv samt att undersöka hur interaktionen går till mellan dessa två perspektiv.Den teoretiska referensramen i arbetet innefattar svensk praxis, IAS 16, K3-regelverk, komponentavskrivning, kritik mot komponentavskrivning, redovisningsfunktionen och operativa verksamheten. Empirin utgörs av intervjuer som är utförda hos det petrokemiska företaget Borealis där vi har undersökt vilka svårigheter som finns med komponentavskrivning i redovisningsfunktionen samt den operativa verksamheten. Vi har även undersökt hur interaktionen gällande komponentavskrivning ser ut mellan redovisningsfunktionen och den operativa verksamheten.

Det är viktigt med ett effektivt samarbete och en välfungerande kommunikation i dynamiska miljöer, till exempel vid släckningsarbetet av en brand. Bristande kommunikation i en sådan miljö skulle kunna få förödande konsekvenser.Denna uppsats bygger på material från studien ?Bridging Cultural Barriers to Collaborative Decision Making in On-Site Operations Coordination Centers?, där 32 svenskar samarbetade i olika lagkonstellationer med att släcka simulerade eldar i mikrovärlden C3Fire.Kommunikationsteorier visar på att personer samtalar med varandra efter en viss struktur; deras yttranden tenderar att komma i par, så kallade närhetspar. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka närhetspar i beställningssekvenser, i form av en beställning av vatten och/eller bränsle följd av en bekräftelse. Till sin hjälp hade försöksdeltagarna en datorskärm med en karta samt tillgång till ett e-postverktyg för att kommunicera inom laget.

Purpose- The purpose of this project is to contribute to the knowledge of creating customer value through streamlining and coordination of patient flows for children and youth with frequent need of care on child and youth medical clinics.Method- One of the methods used for achieving the project's purpose is a case study on the Child and Youth Medicine Clinic at Länssjukhuset Ryhov in Jönköping. The case study has been used for collecting the empirical data that has been generated through interviews, observations and documents from the Child and Youth Health Clinic. Except the case study the authors also made studies in literature, which the collected empirical data has been anchored and related to. Together this led to the project's analysis and results.Results- When investigating the questions found in chapter one, it was determined standardized work is of great importance to create structure and implement procedures for the patient flows. A weak link in the patient flow has been identified, which is the sub-process coordination and planning.

This study has been conducted on behalf of Vectura Consulting AB with the purpose to examine how different actors perceive the dimensions of sustainability and sustainable construction. The purpose is also to provide an understanding of existing barriers and opportunities for sustainable construction within the industry and exemplify with different directions for the actors in order to develop sustainability. The study has approach the research problem by using systems theory, developed by Checkland, to identify the relevant system. Other systems theories has been used as an theoretical framework in order to identify barriers and opportunities, which in this study are based on Hughes?s theory about reverse salients and salients.

SAMMANFATTNINGAtt arbeta i svensk hälso- och sjukvård idag innebär att arbeta i en balans mellan stressiga ochstimulerande arbetssituationer. I sjuksköterskors arbetsuppgifter ingår det, utöver dearbetsuppgifter som utförs inom ens verksamhet, att handleda sjuksköterskestudenter.Tidigare studier visar på att handledning kräver mycket tid och energi och kan leda till stresshos personalen. Samtidigt kan handledning vara väldigt givande för personalen då man serstudenten växa i sin yrkesroll och att handledare i och med det kan växa i sin egen yrkesrollsom sjuksköterska. Omvårdnadsprocessen är en central del i sjuksköterskestudentersutbildning och framförallt i verksamhetsförlagd utbildning i termin tre undersjuksköterskeutbildningen. På en akutvårdsavdelning kan patienter som har kort förväntadvårdtid eller patienter som är i behov av extra övervakning eller kontroller vårdas.

In recent years, increasing emphasis has been placed on streamlining the supply chain. Keeping inventory and warehouses is considered to be a waste of resources. It is however difficult to completely eliminate the need for inventory and warehouses in a supply chain. The purpose of warehousing is to provide a service for the customer. By keeping what the customer demands in inventory it is possible to make a quick delivery when a need arises.

Forestry and forest products are vital components of the Swedish economy but the forest is also important for recreation, hunting, out-door life and conserving biodiversity. The Swedish Forest Act has two equally important objectives, production and environmental protection. Polytax is the Swedish Forest Agency´s inventory programme which monitors progress toward the two objectives in connection with regeneration fellings. It includes data on environmental protection measures taken in connection with regeneration fellings. 30 § of the Swedish Forestry Act and related regulations specify the demands for conserva-tion of nature.

Predicting corporate failure is an increasingly important topic in the world of economics today. This paper, with the help of the credit ranking company Syna AB, aims to investigate a few different statistic strategies to do just that. This task is accomplished by using a data material of 250 000 Swedish companies divided into two subsamples. The first sample is used to develop the model and the second as a validation sample. The model developing sample holds 160 000 companies divided into five different subgroups based on size and age.

According to recent statistics the construction industry is responsible for the largest waste discharges of both dangerous and non-dangerous waste, when disregarding the "non-dangerous" amount of granite waste produced by the mining industry and the waste produced by the pulp and paper industry. Preventive work within waste management is an ongoing practice so to be able to reduce negative environmental effects. One of the most common actions for the companies to take is to separate the different kinds of waste from one another at the construction site. Although by working with the problem in earlier stages of the process a large amount of the waste could already have been reduced.Companies in the construction business that are actively working to decrease environmental impact in their operations often use an EMS (Environmental Management System). By using environmental management as method the company can manage their environmental work so that actions can be taken where they are needed the most.
