In the city of Landskrona, in the southwest of Sweden, the eastern industrial area is partially filled with householdjavascript:changeTab('additionalInformation') waste, resulting in contamination throughout the area. Since it is not considered reasonable to carry out full remediation in the area, the environmental department in Landskrona is interested in establishing an environmental ris
English can be seen, to some extent, as the second language of most Swedes, even though it has no official status in Sweden. Despite a high proficiency in the language throughout the Swedish population, Swedes seem to have issues identifying with English, as is evident in a widespread resentment towards a Swedish-English accented variety. The current study examines Swedish upper secondary school s
A prominent class of explanations for the gender gap in student performance focuses on the gender based interactions between students and teachers. This has led to a rise in discussions in education talks centred on controversial claims that teachers consistently privilege boys over girls. In this study, I examine whether assignment to a same sex teacher influences student performance. The empiric
Recently a new field of microscopy has emerged, known as selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM). Using a SPIM setup the sample is illuminated with a thin light sheet from the side. The selective plane illumination overcomes many problems that conventional microscopes have. Conventional microscopes illuminate the sample axially and collects the light only from the focal plane of the microsc
Research Question Does EO manifest in heterogeneous manners along the vertical dimension of an organisation, and if so why? Purpose To gain a deeper understanding of how EO is manifested within organisations and why the pervasiveness of EO could be manifested in an heterogeneous manner throughout an organisation. Theoretical Perspectives Corporate entrepreneurship, EO, entrepreneurial spirals and
In this project work, we report the scaling up of the production of pseudo Cs-symmetric catalysts for asymmetric ring opening (ARO) of epoxides. These catalysts consists in heterometallic bissalen complexes whose synthesis has already been designed by our research group. Further research will be based on catalytic studies of the synthetized pseudo Cs-symmetric bissalen complexes in ARO of epoxides
Vid en klinisk utredning av en patient med en ätstörning utförs en så kallad kroppsuppfattningsbedömning där patienten får utföra skattningar på olika kroppsmått. Dessa jämförs med de faktiska måtten och genom beräkningar fås ett mått på patientens kroppsuppfattning. Skattningarna görs med hjälpverktyget, EGON, vilket utvecklades 1985. Då systemet är i ständigt reparationsbehov samt är väldigt sv
Research on why we use a specific mode of thinking has long recognised the relevance of mental costs. The definition of this cost, however, has either been too abstract to be measured or focusing on metabolic costs, which currently is expensive and difficult to measure. In this experiment, we used a paradigm that measures the behavioural cost of three modes of thinking (rational reflection, emotio
Tomträtt är en nyttjanderätt som får upplåtas av staten och kommunerna. Tomträtt liknar äganderätten till fast egendom mer än någon annan sekundär rättighet. Tomträtt har på senare år fått minskad användning för småhusbebyggelse men har en fortsatt betydelse för kommersiella ändamål. I lagtext och förarbeten är det tydligt att motiven varit att tomträtt ska fungera som ett alternativ till äganderäSite leasehold right can be granted on land owned by municipalities or other public institutions. Site leasehold right is the strongest of the different rights of use, and is supposed to be an alternative to the right of possession of real estate. Easements can be granted in the site leasehold right, and be registered in the Real Property Register. Easements can either be formed by the national ca
As a primary driver of climate change, energy systems are often affected by the type of “self-perpetuation and lock-in” that characterize so-called ‘wicked problems’. Although it has a relatively clean energy system, Canada still has provinces (e.g. Alberta, Saskatchewan) that possess carbon-intensive power grids, and provinces that have experienced minimal renewable energy development other tha
Denna studie undersöker fyra folkhögskoleelevers upplevelser av att fördjupa sina kunskaper i rytm och skalor på sitt huvudinstrument genom att arbeta med komposition. Eleverna har fått öppna kompositionsuppgifter med få riktlinjer där elevens eget utforskande och idéutvecklande stått i fokus. Studien bygger på aktionsforskning och kvalitativa intervjuer. Studiens resultat visar att eleverna uppskThis study examines four folk high school students’ experiences with deepening their knowledge of rhythm and scales on their main instruments by working with composition. The students have been given composition assignments with few guidelines, enabling them to focus on their own exploration and development of musical ideas. The study is based on action research and qualitative interviews. The res
This project examines how to achieve the best possible capture of incoming acoustic signals in a surveillance camera without overspending. This will be done by designing a complete analogue microphone system to be integrated into a surveillance camera and identify the critical stages in terms of performance. The project will cover the complete analogue signal chain from incoming acoustic signals t
This paper examines the existence of a link between changes in monetary policy and changes in functional income distribution using a panel of up to fourteen countries over the period 1875-2010. It also investigates the potential transmission channels (changes in asset prices, wages, unemployment, and inflation) that explain such a phenomenon. The evidence indicates the presence of a correlation be
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute to the knowledge on the use of risk management and especially ERM in different context. More specifically the aim is to find what similarities and differences there are in the use of ERM between public and private sector, as well as to find what variations there are within each sector. Methodology: The method used during this multiple case study,
The aim of this study was to investigate if spatial planning is a opportunity for social sustainability in the district Rosengard in Malmo. Rosengard was included in the so called million-program, which was intended to solve the housing crisis. The results of this spatial planning made Rosengard, and many other areas included in this program, segregated areas with social problems. The questions t
This thesis discusses a rather contentious issue of how copyright law possesses musical works nowadays. It is essentially argued in the thesis that current copyright law appears to be too restrictive, leaving not enough space for creativity in the musical world. In this regard, the issue related to musical works are mainly analysed through the prism of the idea-expression dichotomy. One of the gen
In hospitals, several professions need to collaborate to be able to offer patients the best care possible. The aim of this study was therefore to examine and analyse counselors experiences of interprofessional collaboration on hospital clinics within Skånes University Hospital (SUS). The study consists of qualitative semi-structured interviews of four hospital social workers. The interviewees were
Uppsatsen handlar om en undersökning genomförd på två svenska storföretag. Den syftar till att utforska om effektivitet och användarinkludering är något som beaktas vid utformningen av informationssäkerhetspolicyn. Genom enkäter och expertintervjuer etablerar vi vilken roll användaren har, hur denne upplever informationssäkerhet inom sin organisation och om möjlighet till förbättring finns när det
This Bachelors thesis involves the creation of a market place for animal compound feed risk management, potential hedging instruments and applicable risk management strategies. The market place is a cross hedged portfolio of futures contracts that correlate with the price of animal compound feed in Sweden, defined as an index and referred to as Compound Feed Index. The thesis has been conducted i
Sexuellt våld är ett stort problem i samhället idag, och kvinnor är den dominerande offergruppen. Det finns även en problematik kring det svenska rättssystemet som försvårar bedömningen av våldtäktsbrott. Att samtycke inte har givits ska vara en huvudfaktor för att fälla förövaren. Men istället beaktas andra omständigheter vid bedömningen, och kan då bli avgörande för att gärningsmannen istället fSexual violence is a major problem in today’s society, and women are the major representing victim group. There is also a problem concerning how the Swedish legal system makes it harder to judge rape crimes. The consent that is not given at a rape should be taken into account as a key factor to convict the perpetrator. But instead there are other factors which are considered in assessing and can b
