This thesis had the goal of investigate two dierent DFT methods, PBE0 and B3LYP*, and what eect those had on the calculations to see if the new DFT method, B3LYP*, would give results that better match em- pirical data. To do this three iron complexes were investigated with both methods so that the results could be compared and conclusions drawn. A forth complex were investigated with only PBE0 to
Fathers in the Nordic countries were among the first in the world to gain the right to paid parental leave. The overall uptake has however been low, despite various attempts to increase it. This paper compares characteristics of fathers in four Nordic countries, to identify important determinants of parental leave uptake. The relationships were tested using logistic regression models. Support for
This study builds on the idea that the conceptualisation and implementation of human rights education in the classroom and other instances in the local community can be different from the way in which the concept is understood and described in international policy documents. The literature review indicates that the context and local actors can affect the way human rights education is carried out.
Sjöbo municipality in the southern parts of Sweden is well suited for keeping horses since the sandy soil and, for the region, cheap land makes it possible to provide good grassing for horses all year around.

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av småbarnsföräldrars användande av interaktiva skärmar när de umgås med sina barn; vilken mening användandet har för individen och vilka följder detta kan få för relationen mellan förälder och barn. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta småbarnsföräldrar som sällan, ibland eller ofta använde sig av interaktiva skärmar. Tematisk analys The aim of this study was to gain a greater understanding of the usage of interactive screens by parents of young children, whilst interacting with their children; what role does the usage of interactive screens play for the individual and how does the usage affect the relationship between parent and child.

The motivation for the recommendation was that working separately against the goals would be the most efficient way o
Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera några fallföretag med avseende på deras process att framställa en hållbarhetsrapport samt deras utgivna rapport. Vidare vill vi diskutera det svenska lagförslaget och vad hållbarhetsrapportering kan bidra till. För att undersöka syftet har en kvalitativ och explorativ studie använts med ett tolkningsperspektiv och en induktiv ansats. Studien g

Second generation immigrant women face an earnings disadvantage in the labor market in Sweden. The socioeconomic position of the parents has been shown to matter more than ethnicity. This study examines the effect of the immigrant parents’ education, as a measure for socioeconomic status, on their daughter’s earnings. In addition, the effect of parental education when both parents have the same ed
The peninsular centre of Newcastle has been disconnected from the city and Sydney with the removal of its train corridor. Using the unique landscape, history and street grid the design rejoins the peninsula both physically and culturally to the site. The masterplan proposes a system of green swale streets, a pedestrian axis, hillside viewpoints and lightrail anchored by a new harbourfront developm
There is a lot of research dedicated to understanding what makes firms successful, and that research has expanded to take on a systemic approach. Most developed nations are implementing some sort of cluster policy and firms in clusters are well known to perform better than their counterparts. This thesis suggests we borrow practises used to understand firms, to better understand nonprofit organiza
Having a specialized editor or IDE has become commonplace for many programming languages. Smaller languages, especially domain-specific ones that normally have very narrow usage areas, often lack such convenience features due to their naturally small user base. Tools for implementing editor support for these languages are called language workbenches. Unfortunately these often lack features for mor
I ett samhälle som blir allt mer tjänsteintensivt blir servicemöten en allt större del av vår vardag (Corvellec & Lindquist 2005: Svingstedt 2005) vilket gör att även intresset för dessa möten ökar. I denna studie undersöks servicemötet mellan chaufförer och deras kunder då det är en bransch där mötet med kund inte alltid resulterar i en mänsklig interaktion. Syftet är att belysa problematiken

Smittspridning via luften är ett av de mest förekommande sätten för sjukdomsutbredning, men mycket kring processen och överlevnaden av luftburna mikroorganismer är fortfarande okänt. Epidemiologiska studier för att undersöka sjukdomars utbredning räcker inte till och kontrollerade laboratoriestudier behövs för att kunna dra slutsatser kring vilka parametrar som påverkar överlevnaden av mikroorganiTransmission through air is a major pathway for spreading of diseases, but much about the process and survival of airborne microorganisms is still unknown. Epidemiological studies investigating the spread of diseases can only yield information on a population level. In order to find out which parameters affect the survival of microorganisms, controlled laboratory studies are required. The aim of t
The purpose of this research is to identify and categorize customer’s personal service requests and to determine the extent to which these categories can be facilitated with self-service technologies (SST). Hence, this study bridges the gap between customer service and self-service. This is particularly relevant, as a knowledge gap has been identified between the research field of personal custome
