Många typer av psykiska problem är fortfarande i stigmatiserade i samhället medan vissa bör-jar bli allt mer accepterade. I den här studien vill jag undersöka hur öppna personer väljer att vara med sina psykiska problem gentemot sina medmänniskor. Och frågeställning är därför också: hur öppna väljer de att vara? Jag syftar då både till kontakten i nära relationer, som familjemedlemmar, och i konta

This paper aims to determine the short and long term determinants of carbon intensity, energy intensity and scale effects for China, with data on the provincial level from 1995 to 2010. The results show that measures which are taken to limit carbon emission increase with carbon intensity on the long run. This means that more measures are taken, when more carbon is emitted per unit of output. The r

The examination of the determining factors of long-run profitability in the manufacturing sector has been largely neglected in the literature. Existing studies either overlook the internal profit dynamics of the sector for the sake of international developments or do not go beyond the application of descriptive statistics. Starting from the theoretical concepts of Marx-biased technical change and

Studien ämnar undersöka hur transformativa ledare inom två företag i tjänstebranschen skapar en inre motivation hos sina medarbetare. Detta på grund av att det inte finns tillräckligt med forskning inom området, samtidigt som forskning som berör företag ur både detaljhandeln och restaurangbranschen tillsammans anses vara bristfällig. Studiens tillvägagångssätt är byggt på kvalitativa intervjuer

Growing trade deficit has been one of the major problems of the Turkish economy to date. This study aims to provide empirical insights to policy makers about whether real depreciation or devaluation of Turkish Lira is an effective way of improving the trade deficit. The data employed in this study is quarterly and covers the period of 1987:1 and 2013:3. Recently developed Bounds test to cointegrat

This thesis first and foremost analyzes and compares Hamas and Fatah's political documents from 2005 and 2009 respectively, and how Israel is portrayed as the enemy in these documents. The theoretical framework focuses on enemy images, but also includes concepts such as national identity, intractable conflicts, intergroup relations and the Other. These concepts are necessary to broaden my anal

Den offentliga upphandlingen utgör en avsevärd del av samhällsekonomin. Den upphandlingspliktiga volymen motsvarade 15,5 - 18,5 procent som andel av Sveriges BNP 2012. Lagen om offentlig upphandling tillåter olika angreppssätt för att utvärdera anbud. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken av de två vanligaste utvärderingsmetoderna mellan relativa metoden och den absoluta metoden som ger de

Byggarbetare är mer utsatta för fallolyckor än arbetare i andra branscher. Idag fallolyckor är den vanligaste och det är även de vanligare dödsorsakerna i byggindustrin. Under de senaste åren visat sig att fallolyckor ligger högst bland de andra orsakerna till anmälningar om olycksfall med sjukfrånvaro. Den senaste statistiken om fall olyckor ligger ungefär 44 % av de andra arbetsolyckorna. Under

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Mask eller fisk? Silltrutars (Larus fuscus) födosök på jordbruksmark under häckningsperioden på Gotland, Sverige Den Baltiska underarten av silltrut (Larus fuscus fuscus) förekommer inom ett relativt litet område i Europa. Silltruten är "nära hotad" i Sverige men orsakerna till dess nedgång är okända. Största häckningskolonin i Sverige, på Stora KarlAbstract The Baltic sub-species of the lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus fuscus) occurs within a relatively small region in the Palearctic. It is a monomorphic marine predator that winters in the Mediterranean and Africa. It is listed as ‘near threatened’ in Sweden and the reasons for its decline are not known. The largest breeding colony in Sweden, located on the island of Stora Karlsö, Got

Hellre fly än illa fäkta ”Hemma är där man sist satte sig” som vårtsvinet Pumbaa i filmen Lejonkungen så vackert myntade. Men många är nog de, vilka associerar ordet flytta med ett lägenhetsbyte från en stadsdel till en annan, från större till mindre, från mindre till större. Att flytta är dock inte något som är unikt för människan, långt ifrån. Inom biologin används termen migration, ett fenomeAbstract In nature, a majority of migratory populations are composed of a mixture of both seasonal migrants and year-round residents, a phenomenon known as partial migration. It is of great importance to identify the factors causing the variation in individual decisions of whether or not to migrate. Partly for a more profound understanding of the evolution behind animal migration, and moreover th

This paper will have a focus on hip hop and feminist theory. The theory is based on Judith Butler's theory of gender as discursive and performative and heterosexuality as the norm. The norm of heterosexuality is influenced by the power structure presented by Michael Foucault and his theory of sexuality and power. The material that will be investigated consists of rap lyrics from 10 Swedish hip

Linking partial migration to the breeding grounds Partial migration is a behaviour that characterise a single population within which only some individuals migrate. That gives a unique chance for comparison of individuals that leave the breeding grounds during winter and the other individuals that remain the whole year round. This may cause several differences between the individuals that belong

This bachelor’s thesis is a study about guidelines on gender equality and gender mainstreaming. The theories used are queerfeminism, performativity and normcritical perspective. The purpose with the study is to understand how two organisations work with gender equality and gender mainstreaming in relation to their guidelines. The research questions were: (1) Is it possible to understand gender mai

Crude oil is the most traded energy commodity in the world, and its price has a large impact on the everyday life of billions. Given the volatility of crude oil prices and its enormous effects on economies worldwide, there has been a growing demand for risk quantification and risk management for the market participants. The measurement known as Value-at-Risk (VaR) has become the industry standard

The purpose of this research is to conduct a critical study which focuses on getting deeper insights into in-application advertising, especially, to understand the details of making in-application advertising, and to develop the existing advertising model for applying to the in-application advertising specifically.

"There is a crack in everything. That's how light gets in." With two simple sentences the famous poet Leonard Cohen describes his perception on how light interacts with matter. This thesis work will try to give a more precise and detailed description of the interaction between light and nano-materials that maybe is going to lose some of the magic that poetry has but this will be com

All industrial facilities and large warehouses require some sort of lighting solution. They have ongoing activities with workers and trucks moving around at various speed, and to avoid accidents these lighting solutions are often very bright and energy consuming. The most common solution is fluorescent light. These lights are energy consuming and not dimmable. Turning these off by night or when th

Salinomycin attackerar cancerstamceller i hypoxi Bröstcancer är den näst vanligaste typen av cancer i Sverige och representerar cirka 15 % av alla cancerfall, med mer än 7500 nya fall årligen. Ett stort problem, som forskningen och sjukvården kämpar med, är tumörer som sprids och som återkommer efter några år. Den orsakande faktorn bakom dessa problem tros vara en liten mängd resistenta cancerce
