A parallel procedure for an effective optimization of relative position and orientation between two or more fragments has been implemented in the MOLCAS program package. By design, the procedure does not perturb the electronic structure of a system under the study. The original composite system is divided into frozen fragments and internal coordinates linking those fragments are the only optimized
The Lipset Hypothesis är Seymour Martin Lipsets teori om demokratiseringar, grundad i demokratins korrelation med de fyra variablerna industrialisering, urbanisering, utbildning, och välstånd. Denna undersökning vill pröva teorin mot de två fallen Sverige och Tunisien, vilka genomgick demokratiseringar med 100 år dem emellan. På grund av fallens stora skillnader både som länder och i demokratiseri
I kölvattnet till coronaviruspandemin har vaccinfrågan aktualiserats och hamnat högt på den mediala dagordningen. Det vetenskapliga paradigmet att vaccin är nyttigt och nödvändigt för folkhälsan blir idag utmanat av så kallade vaccinmotståndare. SVT Dokument inifråns dokumentärfilm Vaccinkrigarna gör anspråk på att korrekt skildra dessa vaccinmotståndare. Frågans polariserade karaktär väcker dock
Purpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. This project
Öresundsregionens skatteavtal har under en längre tid varit föremål för diskussioner och kritik. Skatteavtalet mellan Danmark och Sverige genomgick större förändringar år 1996 och år 2003. Dessa avtal har fått stora konsekvenser för flera olika berörda parter, vilket väckt debatten kring avtalet som en policy. Genom att undersöka policyprocessen som lett fram till hur avtalen är utformade idag sam
Bakgrund: Uppskattningsvis 75-80 procent av populationen kommer någon gång under sitt liv uppleva ryggsmärta. Bärande av väska har associerats med ryggsmärta, vilket beror på att muskelaktiviteten ökar vid belastningen, vilket leder till muskeltrötthet. Asymmetriskt bärande av väskor samt en hög vikt i väskan i förhållande till kroppsvikt korrelerar med ökad risk för smärta i den aktiva muskulatur
In recent years, experimental studies on gender assignment to borrowings in languages such as German and Dutch have observed variation in gender assignment in relation to dialectal areas, among other factors. However, many issues related to gender assignment have yet to be fully understood, and the sociolinguistic variation has not been properly investigated. The objective of the present study is
Denna studie ämnar undersöka utmaningarna med att bedriva CSR i ett modernt samhälle. Den undersöker hur företags image påverkas när CSR-aktiviteter och CSR-ansvar är uppdelat mellan olika parter. En kvalitativ studie har gjorts om företaget Big Heart där semi-strukturerade intervjuer har använts som metod för att uppnå en djupare förståelse av fenomenet. I intervjuerna har perspektiv från alla paThis study examines the challenges of managing CSR in modern society. It explores how the image of companies is affected in an ethical sense, when CSR activities and CSR-responsibility are divided among a variety of different parties. Through a qualitative study of the company Big Heart, semi-structured interviews was made, including interviews from all parties in order to gain a deeper understand
Right-wing populism has spread across the European continent during the 21th century, this paper examines if this also is the case on the social media platform Facebook. Through the use of multivariate ordinary linear regression models the thesis seeks to answer if right-wing populist parties and leaders in 12 western European countries generate more followers on their official Facebook accounts t
Trust is considered one of the main preconditions for good democratic governance. Trust in political systems facilitates effective policy implementation and rule due to increased government compliance. Due to the importance of trust for democratic political systems, in this paper I study the factors that cause trust for the EU, focusing on the relationship between citizens trust for national insti
A brief introduction to convolutional coding is given. The active distances are reviewed and shown to be an important tool for analyzing the error correcting capability of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of convolutional codes when communicating over a binary symmetric channel (BSC). Due to memory and delay constraints in practical coding schemes, convolutional codes often are either terminated o
Ensembles of binary random LDPC block codes constructed using Hamming codes as constituent codes are studied for communicating over the binary symmetric channel. These ensembles are known to contain codes that asymptotically almost meet the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. It is shown that in these ensembles there exist codes which can correct a number of errors that grows linearly with the code length, w
This paper deals with approximate solutions to integral equations arising in boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation in simply connected piecewise smooth domains. The approximation method considered demonstrates excellent convergence even in the case of boundary conditions discontinuous at corner points. In an application we obtain very accurate approximations for some characteristics
In a murine model of platelet alloimmunization, we examined the definitive role that mononuclear cells (MC) have in modulating platelet immunity by using platelets from severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. CB.17 (H-2(d)) SCID or BALB/c (H-2(d)) mouse platelets were transfused weekly into fully allogeneic CBA (H-2(k)) mice and antidonor antibodies measured by flow cytometry. MC levels in BA
This paper investigates how verbal affixes that encode manner information (manner affixes) interact with verbs of different lexical aspect classes and transitivity values in West Greenlandic (Inuit–Yupik–Unangan: Greenland). Manner affixes remain an understudied and poorly understood grammatical category. The data presented and discussed here is primarily based on original fieldwork conducted in C
