    Sammanfattning ”Entreprenörskap genom brädspel” Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Innovation - 15 HP Institution: Akademin för Innovation, Teknik och Design (IDT) Författare: Linus Linder & Robin Karlsson-Holm Titel: Entreprenörskap genom brädspel Handledare: Erik Lindhult Nyckelord: Entreprenörskap, Entreprenöriellt lärande, Spel, Simulation och Innovation Forskningsfrågor: Hur kan utformning av ett entreprenörskapsspel för gymnasieelever som ska driva UF-företag se ut? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utveckla ett entreprenörskapsspel som genererar kunskaper i entreprenörskap. Metod: Författarna har genomfört en kvalitativ studie som har haft parallella metoder för insamling av förstahandskällor. Dels i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med informanter och sedan i en mer experimentell metod, aktionsforskning. Genom att använda kvalitativ metod och semi-strukturerade intervjuer skapar författarna en bättre helhetsbild av studien. Slutsats: Efter arbetets gång har författarna utvecklat ett entreprenörskapsspel för gymnasieelever som ska driva UF-företag. Spelet har anpassats efter Ung företagsamhets processmodell för att ge elever kunskaper och erfarenheter som dem kommer ha användning för vid UF-företagande. I Unga Entreprenörer får eleverna starta ett företag och sedan driva det, på samma sätt som dem kommer driva sina framtida UF-företag. I uppstartsfasen fattar eleverna beslut samt bekantar sig med begrepp som affärsplan, marknadsanalys, marknadsetablering och budgetering. I den drivande fasen får eleverna i grupp fatta många beslut samt att dem bekantar sig med begrepp som marknadsföring, konkurrensfördelar, kundrelationer, resultaträkning samt balansräknin

    Since the beginning of industrial revolution, burning of fossil fuels has mainly led to increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 , a Green House Gas (GHG), from 250 ppm to 400 ppm between 1800 and 2012. One way to reduce the burning of fossil fuels and CO2 emission rate is to explore alternative carbon free fuels to meet the energy demand.This project aims at the synthesis and study of metal complexes inspired by biological models that will help better design catalysts to perform water oxidation more effectively.This poster won the Dean, Faculty of Science award (2020).

    Titel: På andra sidan av medarbetarskap - En kvalitativ studie ur ett medarbetarperspektiv Datum: 2014-06-03 Nivå: Kandidatuppsats, företagsekonomi Institution: EST – Ekonomi, Samhälle & Teknik | Mälardalens Högskola Författare: Linus Linder, Maria Vestin och Robin Karlsson-Holm Handledare: Angelina Sundström Nyckelord: Medarbetarskap   Frågeställning: -          Hur uppfattas implementeringen av medarbetarskap i Eskilstuna kommun? -          Vilka effekter har sättet att arbeta med medarbetarskap fått för medarbetaren? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva medarbetarskap samt att synliggöra de eventuella fördelar och brister som finns i det praktiska arbetet med medarbetarskap. Metod: Studien har insamlat data genom kvalitativa intervjuer för att den upplevda verkligheten, åsikter, erfarenheter och upplevelser om ämnet medarbetarskap ska synliggöras. Eftersom studien avser att beskriva och skapa förståelse för hur medarbetaren upplever processen av medarbetarskap intervjuades endast personer som deltagit i en-dagsutbildningen Modigt medarbetarskap på Eskilstuna kommun. Slutsats: Analysen pekar på att arbetsplatsträffarna behöver utvecklas vad gäller effektivitet och kvalitet då det är då samtalet om medarbetarskap sker. Analysen tyder också på att medarbetarskapet skapar värde för medarbetare, kollegor, arbetsgivare samt externa parter såsom kunder, besökare, medborgare eller samarbetspartners. En förutsättning för ett fungerande medarbetarskap har visat sig vara tydlighet från chef och ledning, närmaste chefens närvaro i verksamheten samt öppenhet medarbetare och arbetsgivare emellan. Vidare visar analysen att kommunikation är en avgörande del i medarbetarskap, väl fungerande kommunikation minskar konflikter samt möjliggör samtal om svåra samtalsämnen. Även kontinuerligt arbete med medarbetarskap och uppföljning har visat sig viktigt för medarbetarskap.Title: The other side of employeeship - a qualitative study from a coworker perspective Date: 2014-06-03 Level: Bachelor thesis in Business Administration, 15 ECTS Institution: School of Business, Society and Engineering | Mälardalen University Authors: Linus Linder, Maria Vestin and Robin Karlsson-Holm Tutor: Angelina Sundström Keywords: Employeeship, Coworkership Research questions: -          How is the implementation of employeeship perceived by the coworkers in Eskilstuna municipality? -          What effects has the way of working with employeeship had for the coworker?    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe employeeship and make the potential benefits and shortcomings in the practical work with employeeship visible. Method: This study is based on qualitative interviews to describe employeeship from the coworkers’ point of view. Through the perceived reality of the respondents, opinions, experiences, and identifying the properties of empolyeeship the study has chosen to only interview coworkers. Only respondents who has participated in the one-day training, Modigt medarbetarskap (brave employeeship), have been interviewed so that the respondents would not be completely foreign to the subject.   Conclusion: The analysis indicates that employeeship involves not only coworkers, the employer and colleagues, but also external parties such as customers, citizens, visitors or business partners. The analysis also concludes that communication is an important part for a functioning employeeship increased communication can reduce conflict and enable discussions about difficult subjects.  The management needs to be apparent in the guidelines, the immediate manager needs to be present and involved in the operation and there has to be a mutual openness between employer and coworkers. The efficiency and quality during the employeeship conversation needs to be considered. To work continuously with employeeship and have regular follow-ups has shown to be important when implementing employeeship in an organization. 

    21st-century scholarship and Wikipedia

    Wikipedia, the world’s fifth most-used Web site, is a good illustration of the growing credibility of online resources. In his article in Ariadne earlier this year, “Wikipedia: Reflections on Use and Academic Acceptance”, Brian Whalley described the debates around accuracy and review, in the context of geology. He concluded that ‘If Wikipedia is the first port of call, as it already seems to be, for information requirement traffic, then there is a commitment to build on Open Educational Resources (OERs) of various kinds and improve their quality.’ In a similar approach to the Geological Society event that Whalley describes, Sarah Fahmy of JISC worked with Wikimedia and the British Library on a World War One (WWI) Editathon. There is a rich discourse about the way that academics relate to Wikipedia

    How Many Answers Are Enough? Optimal Number of Answers for Q&A Sites

    No full text
    With the proliferation of the social web, questions about information quality and optimization attract the attention of IS scholars. Question-answering (QA) sites, such as Yahoo!Answers, have the potential to produce good answers, but at the same time not all answers are good and not all QA sites are alike. When organizations design and plan for the integration of question answering services on their sites, identification of good answers and process optimization become critical. Arguing that ‘given enough answers all questions are answered successfully,’ this paper identifies the optimal number of posts that generate high quality answers. Based on content analysis of Yahoo! Answers’ informational questions (n=174) and their answers (n=1,023), the study found that seven answers per question are ‘enough’ to provide a good answer

    Safeguarding VNF Credentials with Intel SGX

    No full text
    Operators use containers – enabled by operating system (OS) level virtualization – to deploy virtual network functions (VNFs) that access the centralized network controller in software-defined net- working (SDN) deployments. While SDN allows flexible network configuration, it also increases the attack surface on the network deployment [8]. For example, insecure communication channels may be tapped to extract or inject sensitive data transferred on the north-bound interface, between the network controller and VNFs; furthermore, to protect the network controller from malicious VNF instances, the integrity and authenticity of VNFs must be verified prior to deployment.o mitigate the risks described above, we implemented a prototype that leverages hardware-based mechanisms for isolated execution implemented by Intel SGX in combination with a run-time integrity measurement subsystem, namely Linux Integrity Measure- ment Architecture (IMA)1. This prototype is a first step towards providing to tenants and end-users integrity guarantees regarding the network components in SDN deployments

    Power Relations and Social Classes in Pengakuan Pariyem by Linus Suryadi AG: Reflection of Masculine Ideology

    No full text
    The study aims to explore power relations and social classes as the reflections of the masculine ideology of the author in the novel Pengakuan Pariyem by Linus Suryadi AG. The theories implemented in the study are van Dijk’s power relations and social classes theory and Connell’s masculinity theory. The study is qualitative descriptive and applies the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method, used to dismantle the ideology that is produced and reproduced through the language within the novel. The research data are lingual units that indicate power relations and social classes which simultaneously reflect the notion of masculinity.  The results of the study are as follows. First, Pariyem as the central character in the novel lives within a hierarchical and dualistic Javanese society. Her submission as the babu (housemaid) of a priyayi (noble) family does not only lead Pariyem to be dominated symbolically, but also legitimizes the priyayi (aristocrats) power over wong cilik (commoners).  It is reinforced by the representations of the priyayis’ world views in terms of culture, aristocracy, bureaucracy, and education orientation. It shows that priyayis are culturally dominant. Secondly, since Pariyem is a character created by a male author, her behaviors and actions reflect the ideology of masculinity. Rather than voicing women, the power relations that Pariyem experiences through the events constructed in the novel show that she embodies the masculine ideology, or masculinity.

    Text on signs read: "No science = No hops, no malt, no water, no beer [the letters in the word beer are made up of periodic element symbols]"; "Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly. - Linus Pauling. Science, not silence". Linus Carl Pauling was an American chemist, biochemist, peace activist, author, and educator. PH Coll 1478. KinseyK116The Seattle March for Science occurred on April 22, 2017. This date was chosen because April 22 is also Earth Day. According to organizers, as many as 20,000 people attended the march, which began at 10 a.m. in Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The march culminated at the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. The March for Science in Seattle was one of more than 500 similar marches taking place across the United States. Demonstrators marched in support of “robustly funded and publicly communicated science and evidence as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity” and also called “for science that upholds the common good, and for political leaders and policymakers to enact evidence-based policies in the public interest”, according to a statement put out by march organizers. Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray came out to show their support.Scienc
