Popular Science Summary The aim of this thesis is to develop a method for the selective cleavage of a carbon fluorine bond with a transition metal. The main focus is directed towards the synthesis of a gemdifluoro, syn-diphosphine compound XX. When treated with iridium the metal should bind to the phosphines which keeps it close enough to the carbon fluorine bond to break it and form what is known

Uppsatsen behandlar planeringen inför the Great Exhibition 1851 utifrån ett rumsligt perspektiv, fram för allt utifrån teoretikerna David Harvey och Henry Lefebvre.

I Sverige och i många andra länder har utrikes födda en lägre andel förvärvsarbetande jämfört med inrikes födda. En låg sysselsättningsgrad bland utrikes födda kan orsaka stora konsekvenser för den framtida försörjningsbördan. För att kunna fördela de arbetsmarknadspolitiska resurserna på ett framgångsrikt sätt är det viktigt att veta vilka och på vilket sätt olika bakgrundsvariabler påverkar att

Abstract With Europe and the EU facing a time of constant political changes and financial crisis in to the Eurozone, the rise of phenomena like Euroscepticism and Populism are more topical than ever. Through the use of populist rhetoric, Eurosceptic parties, such as the British UK Independence Party (UKIP), are gaining support across Europe and have proven their influence on the European politica

A continuously growing population in the world has resulted in more agricultural activity in arid- and semi-arid areas where it once was harder to cultivate crops. Due to the high evaporation and the lack of rainfall in these areas it is necessary to irrigate the fields. In some areas it has become more and more common to use treated wastewater as an alternative irrigation source. When the soil is

Guinaw Rails South is situated in the Dakar region in Senegal and is constantly exposed to dangers such as floods, insecurity and diseases. This study shows that people live in this high-risk informal settlement because of four main reasons. Those are family, economic situation, own house and work or education. The study was conducted with a Grounded theory approach and based on interviews with pe

Johan Ekeblad was a Swedish diplomat and nobleman during the period of the Swedish Empire in the 17th century who is mostly known for his letters, written in an impressionistic and highly modern style. This paper aims to treat Johan Ekeblad and his writing as a representative of a new form of mentality that emerged amongst Swedes when Sweden due to its new power reemerged on the European scene. Th

Cryonics is the process of freezing legally dead humans in the hope that future science would one day restore them to life, youth and health. The cryonics field is thus seeking a solution to death. This controversial practise has given rise to a heated biopolitical debate on life, death, suspended animation and ethics. My analysis maps out the occurring ideas that constitute cryonics, ideas reachi

Studiens syfte är att bidra med en ökad förståelse för drivkrafter bakom kreditspreaden för europeiska utilityföretag. Syftet med studien är därmed att empiriskt undersöka hur utvalda företagsspecifika faktorer samt en makrovariabel påverkar kreditspreaden. Vidare kan uppsatsens resultat tänkas ge en ökad förståelse för hur förändringar i företagsstruktur samt landsspecifik risk påverkar kreditsprThe purpose of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of drivers of the credit spread for European corporate bonds issued by utility companies. The aim of this study is therefore to empirically examine how selected company-specific factors, as well as a macro variable, effect credit spreads. The results might also provide a better understanding of how changes in company structure an

Studies on accentual tonal alignment of intonational languages suggest a segmental anchoring of tonal targets, more specifically that L in rising (LH) pre-nuclear accents anchors with a specific point in the segment, while the timing of H varies. This study tests if lexical accents, too, exhibit a constant alignment by testing the South Swedish word Accent II using speech rate as an experimental t

Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base

The purpose of this thesis is to study and model the term structure of Swedish government bonds. The emergence of the bonds market in Swedish is described and a brief introduction to interest rate theory given. For completeness, linear and dynamic time series models including state space representation and the Kalman filter are also described. The term structure of Swedish government bonds is mode

The existing studies have shown that the algorithmic trading has been playing an ever-increasing important role in both the U.S. and E.U. capital market. Many papers pay great attention on the high frequency trading, a special class of algorithmic trading, focusing on the impact that high-frequency activities have on the market quality. Investors engage in high frequency trading and interact with

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur musiklärarstudenter ser på genus, identitetsskapande och musik, hur de påverkas av lärares normer och värderingar samt om utbildningen ger dem metoder att som framtida lärare motverka traditionella könsmönster och låta elever oavsett kön få samma möjligheter, då detta står i styrdokumenten för grund- och gymnasieskola. Sjuttionio lärarstudenter har svarat på Title: Gender equality taken for granted? A study of how music teacher students view gender, identity and music. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how students at the music teacher program view gender, identity and music, the influence of teachers' standards and values, and if the training gives them the methods they need in their future roles as teachers to counteract traditional gen

Denna studie, som bygger på den kvalitativa metoden, avser att skapa förståelse för hur pedagoger arbetar med undervisning i ämnet svenskundervisning för invandrare genom användandet av sång och musik i språkinlärning. Mitt intresse för ämnet förstärktes när jag blev kontaktperson till en tjej som hade invandrat till Sverige från Chile. Studien är menad att ge läsaren inte bara en bild av hur man Swedish through singing: a shortcut to language learning? This study, based on the qualitative method, is meant to give an understanding of how pedagogues perform their teaching of the subject “Svenska för invandrare” (eng. “Swedish for immigrants”) by using singing in language training. My own interest in the subject was enhanced when I was appointed contact for a girl who had immigrated to Swede

Min uppsats, Iscensättning av vardagen – en undersökning av genremotivet i det holländska 1600-talsmåleriet, handlar om hur hemmet skildras i det holländska 1600-talsmåleriet. De s.k. genremålningarna visar hemmet och vardagen, och i uppsatsen förklarar jag hur målningar med vardagliga motiv fick genomslag i Holland under 1600-talet. Kyrkan och adeln var inga stora beställare av konst, och det fan

The study should be classified as a qualitative study with phenomenological approach. All participants in the study were middle managers and were employed at a company that is a leading Austrian supplier with headquarters in Vienna (Austria). The company als

Solar power clearly has one of the greatest potential among renewable energy but a big setback is that it is still relatively expensive. Engineering of materials on a nanoscale, e.g. the growth of nanowires makes it possible to make semiconductor-materials with better optical properties while using less material than for traditional bulk semiconductors. This means that nanowire based solar cells h
