<p>Introduktion – Ekonomistyrning innefattar färdigställandet och användandet av finansiell information och det hjälper företagsledare i sitt beslutsfattande. När det sätts i bruk bland människor har det ett dubbelriktat förhållande där systemet och människorna påverkar varandra. När man ser det så är det inte förvånande att många försök att byta styrsystem misslyckas. För att kunna förstå varför en del försök att byta system lyckas och andra misslyckas är det viktigt att veta var motstånd mot förändringar kommer ifrån och hur motståndet verkar.

Abstract:
"Barriers to Closure" was a series of narratives specifically focusing on reoccurring thoughts, fears and anxieties within the artist's life. Instilled when he was younger, these anxieties were never resolved, thus creating additional fears as he grew into adolescence. Eventually they transformed into an intricate obstacle causing resolution to be a difficult task.These narratives are presented in thick bronze frames which constrain the content into a limited space. The pieces are purposefully small due to the artist's personal restriction of revealing what needs to be seen. Therefore, the vie

An alternative road traffic noise barrier using an array of periodically arranged vertical cylinders known as a Sonic Crystal (SC) is investigated. As a result of multiple (Bragg) scattering, SCs exhibit a selective sound attenuation in frequency bands called band gaps or stop bands related to the spacing and size of the cylinders. Theoretical studies using Plane Wave Expansion (PWE), Multiple Scattering Theory (MST) and Finite Element Method (FEM) have enabled study of the performance of SC barriers.

One of the most important aspects for all life on this planet is the act to keep their biological processes in a state where they do not reach equilibrium.

Additionally, terrestrial animal life often requires a barrier that protects the organism's body from external hazards and water loss. As an alternative to experiments, the investigation of the processes occurring at these barriers can be performed by using molecular dynamics simulations. Through this met
