Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor which is very present in our surrounding environment. As a component mainly used in plastics and in the inner linings in cans, BPA can also be found in our bodies due to migration into food. Once the substance is reaching the components of the body it is biotransformed into a more water soluble molecule called monoglucoronide. Whether to measure the unco

This thesis gives an introduction to the basic formalism of one-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The factorization of a Hamiltonian is used to create a supersymmetric partner Hamiltonian. The connections between the energy spectra and wave functions of these partner Hamiltonians are deduced and examined for the case of broken and unbroken supersymmetry. An extension to hierarchies of

Over the past few years, there has been considerable academic interest in studying the relationship between China and Africa.

Problemformulering: Det finns mycket belägg för hur viktig frontpersonalen är för ett företag men få företag verkar inse vikten av att investera i personalen och öka deras förutsättningar för att uppnå arbetstillfredsställelse. Då de arbetsuppgifter som yrkesrollen medför ofta kräver att frontpersonalen åsidosätter sig själva till förmån för kundens suveränitet och företagets framgång utsätts de f

This examination paper will examine the reporting of the Husby riot during May of 2013 in four different Swedish national newspapers. I have taken a qualitative approach to analyse 40 newspaper articles that were written during the course of the riot. I chose to analyse articles that were written during the riot because I wanted to find out how the newspapers wrote about the riot and the people wh

Denna studie undersökte samband mellan personlighet och arbetsprestation för ingenjörer i specialistroller på ett medelstort företag inom den tillverkande industrin i Sverige. 31 personer besvarade personlighetsformuläret OPQ och bedömning av deras arbetsprestation gjordes av HR-ansvarig inom företaget. Hypotesen att strukturdimensionerna inom OPQ32 skulle korrelera positivt med arbetsprestation fThis study investigated correlations between personality and work performance for engineers in specialist roles in a medium large company within the manufacturing industry in Sweden. 31 engineers filled in the occupational preference questionnaire OPQ32 and ratings of their work performance was carried out by an HR supervisor at the company. The hypothesis that the structural dimensions of OPQ32 w

Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av ett urval ur romanen El padre de Blancanieves (2007), skriven av den spanska författaren Belén Gopegui. Uppsatsen undersöker vilka förutsättningarna är för att översätta olika drag som gör att källtexten kan klassas som poetisk prosa. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten följt av en del där strategier inför översättningen diskuteras. Detta

The Swedish educational system has during the last few decades gone through a process of liberalization and privatization. The political reforms and processes shaping the state of the Swedish school today have to a large extent changed the shape of the Swedish welfare state in general and the overall view on education in particular.

I detta arbete presenteras en del av den ryggradsdjursfauna som fanns i södra Sverige under krittidens senare del, dvs. för mellan 100 och 66 miljoner år sedan. Vidare avhandlas ett mystiskt, fossilt skelettfynd från Kristianstadbassängen i nordöstra Skåne. Syftet med studien är att identifiera fossilet och att försöka bestämma till vilken djurgrupp det kan ha hört. Benet hittades i grundmarina sThis work presents a part of the vertebrate fauna that existed in the southern of Sweden during the latest Cretaceous period, between 100 and 66 Ma ago.

I Sverige får i dag hälften av befolkningen dricksvatten från vattentäkter som helt saknar eller har ett föråldrat skydd mot föroreningar. För att få bukt med problemet har Naturvårdsverket tagit fram anvisningar i form av tjugo punkter, samt tre tilläggspunkter, för upprättandet av ett vattenskyddsområde runt vattentäkten. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie har vart att jämföra sexton vattenskyddsIn Sweden today, half of the population gets their drinking water from water extraction areas without- or with out-dated protection against contamination. To resolve this problem the swedish government institution, Naturvårdsverket, has written a list, in the form of twenty directives, to help in the establishment of a water protection area around the water collection point. The purpose of this li

Huspriserna har i Sverige och flera andra länder gått upp kraftigt sedan 90-talet. Det debatteras om de höga priserna är hållbara eller om det existerar bostadsprisbubblor som om de spricker kan påverka den övriga ekonomin negativt. Flera länder där bostadspriserna gått upp upplevde fall i dessa och minskad ekonomisk tillväxt vid finanskrisen 2008. Sverige upplevde inte något drastiskt bostadspris
