The expansion of Swedish wind energy grid has come at the cost of environmental, economic and social controversy, in which the issue of landscape quality change plays a prominent role. Tourism, an industry highly reliant on visual consumption of the landscape, is especially sensitive to this change. Scholars have repeatedly harvested evidences of a weak, but negative correlation between wind power
Cognition is one of human kind’s most important features in our own opinion. The more we know about the cognitive abilities of different species the more we know about how cognition has evolved. Self-awareness is a mental trait associated with high levels of cognition and something previously considered to be exclusive to humans and possibly apes. The most common test of self-awareness is a test o
A forward recursive estimation method is used to examine stock market data on unit root against explosive behavior as an indication of financial exuberance. Through specific dividend-stock pricing modeling, the recursive implementation of a right-tailed ADF test allows for directly testing the price index series on explosive behavior and its corresponding dividend series on non-explosive behavior.
The effects of climate change and urbanization will increase the risk of flooding in urban areas due to increased precipitation and larger amount of impervious surfaces. Svedala, a municipality in southern Sweden and its storm water recipient Segeå is one area that will be at greater risks in the future. The aim of this study is to compile information about flood risks in Svedala to identify the n
Title: Towards entering a new market: The role of Cooper’s stage-gate model in market knowledge absorption Date of the Seminar: 18.05.2016 Course: ENTN39 Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and Degree Project (Master’s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Tim Müller & Jukka Riitamäki Supervisor: Anna Brattström Keywords: stage-gate model, new product development, customer understandi
The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between ethnic identity, self-identified ethnicity and psychological wellbeing among young adults with an immigrant background. An additional purpose was to perform preliminary validation analyses of a Swedish language version of the Revised Multi-group Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM-R). Data was collected using a cross-sectional web-survey in
Bakgrund: Studier har visat att intensivvårdsdelirium (IVA-delirium) drabbar upp till 80 % av alla intensivvårdspatienter. Tillståndet är komplext och svårt att vårda och leder till stora konsekvenser för både patient, anhörig, vårdpersonal och samhälle. Syfte: Att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda en patient med IVA-delirium. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med ti
Introduktion. Patienter med bipolär sjukdom har ofta kognitiv funktionsnedsättning, vilket predicerar nedsatt psykosocial funktion. På senare tid har behandlingsprogram i funktionell remediering tagits fram, i syfte att avhjälpa detta.Forskning rörande acceptans av kognitiv dysfunktion saknas. Föreliggande studie syftade dels till att undersöka psykosocial funktion och grad av acceptans av kognitiIntroduction. Cognitive functioning of patients with bipolar disorder is often impaired, predicting impaired psychosocial functioning. Lately, programs of functional remediation attempting to address these difficulties, have been developed. Acceptance of cognitive dysfunction has not been scientifically explored. The present study aimed at investigating psychosocial functioning and acceptance of c
Mobilisering av mekaniskt ventilerade intensivvårdspatienter är genomförbart och kan utföras på ett säkert sätt samt leder till ett snabbare tillfrisknande för patienten. Syfte: Att undersöka nivå av mobilisering hos mekaniskt ventilerade patienter inom intensivvård samt komplikationer och barriärer i samband med mobilisering. En jämförelse i nivå av mobilisering mellan de patienter som är invasiv
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of trait anxiety and to which extent the equestrians reinvest to consciously control their movements, and if the result had an influence on performance. The selected participants were 30 elite equestrians, actively competing in dressage. All participants were competing on a both national and international level in this
This literature study shows that Swedish animal husbandry of farm animals is a contributing factor to environmental and climate impact and that both improved knowledge and commitment to environmental issues are important for future sustainable farming out of an environmental standpoint. This literature study is important because it provides a holistic view of how Swedish animal husbandry of farm a
Environmental policy should be made up of scientific evidence. This thesis paper supports science based policy and its formulation through innovative communication strategies. It is important to be innovative in communicating science when dealing with the policy community as there could be confrontations owing to the nature of relation between science and policy. This is where the professional env
Credit rating agencies’ influence on capital markets has been a highly debated topic in the last decades, as their power and impact have not been established with clarity. Different characteristics have been found especially between larger and smaller markets, which makes it interesting to investigate how the Nordic market as a smaller market reacts to credit changes. This study investigates how t
Worldwide, many fisheries are under severe stress and extensive depletion of fish stocks is common. Besides overfishing an important problem preventing depleted stocks from recovery is that fish stocks are commonly managed following administrative rather than biological reasons. This stresses the importance of sub-stock-specific assessments for sustainable fisheries. The present study performed su
Informationssäkerhet blir allt mer aktuellt inom företagsvärlden. Information anses vara en organisations största tillgång och organisationer utsätts ständigt för inre och yttre hot. Traditionellt har man sett detta som ett tekniskt problem med tekniska lösningar, men det största hotet är de anställda som genom illvilja, omedvetet slarv eller brist på kunskap inte beter sig säkert. Detta hanteras
‘Fee & dividend’ (F&D) would incentivize the energy transition by levying an annually rising fee on fossil fuels. Simultaneously, all revenues would be given straight back to citizens, protecting a majority against price increases on products and services. Proponents say that this translates into broad popular support and makes the policy the most feasible option for realizing adequate car
A specific class of signaling proteins has been shown to affect adult hematopoiesis in mice, but little is known about the role that these proteins play during hematopoiesis in the fetal liver of the embryo. Here, we have studied and compared the in vitro and in vivo response to a cytokine in bone marrow and fetal liver hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). We have found that fetal live
This master thesis is a study of how three public libraries in Scania approach refugees in 2015: Helsingborg, Lund and Malmö’s public library. The Swedish Library Act states that public libraries should be available to and usable by all people. The purpose of this research is to find out to which degree public libraries have the possibilities to fulfill this Act, in terms of their organizational s
Ensuring a predefined level of reliability for applications running in distributed environments is a complex task. Having multiple identical copies of a task increases redundancy and thereby the reliability. Due to varying properties of the often heterogeneous and vast number of components used in distributed environments, using static analysis of the environment to determine how many copies are n
In this thesis I examine how the aggressive fracking-debate in the Canadian Province New Brunswick from 2010 onwards, and how the three participating actors (the fracking-critical Native Canadian group Elsipogtog First Nation, the non-native fracking-critical group New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance (NBASGA) and the fossil fuel company Southwestern Energy Resources Canada) view nature in differ
