The substitution reaction of complexes, (PCNR)PdCl, where R = (methyl) (1), (ethyl) (2) and(propyl) (3), with iodide where studied in 1-10 mM LiCl in methanol. The substitution was followed under pseudo first order conditions with an excess of incoming and leaving ligand. The high reactivity of complex 1 was attributed to the low steric bulkiness of the methyl substituent. The order of reactivity
Background: Previous studies have shown the importance of good communication (GC) within the medical encounter; with patients‟ increased adherence and improved health, more effective consultations and more satisfied patients and physicians. Since society and the concept of GC have evolved over time it is important to continue the research on the characteristics of GC. Objective: To explore how GC
Housing expenditure is without doubt one of the biggest expenditure posts for all households. By using econometrics to estimate regressions with cross-‐sectional data including more than 1500 individuals, this thesis examines whether there is any individual characteristics that determines how big a share of the disposable income that is spent on housing each month. The results indicate that diffe
The subject of this thesis is “Right to self-determination of Kurds and its relation with right to self-defence”. Kurds are ethnic minority within countries of Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq, then in this thesis I discussed the right to self-determination of ethnic minorities in international law. On the one hand I argued, one of the main requirements for self-determination of ethnic minorities is g
The primary purpose to this study was to explore the role of local government in Sweden, primarily through the eyes of some of the people working within one. Consideration of some of the structural characteristics of local government in Sweden, in particular the privileges and responsibilities accorded to local municipalities there and in what context, lead the author to conclude that Swedish muni
In the west, out-innovating China has been a frequent proposal to deal with the feared threat posed by China’s rapid industrialization. However, China is not content with being only a manufacturing economy and has subsequently introduced multiple programs to foster research and development domestically. One of the most prominent sectors targeted by China’s programs and upheld by the west as their
Uppsatsen gör en jämförande läsning av den svenska poeten och dramatikern Kristina Lugn och den österrikiska författaren och dramatikern Elfriede Jelinek, med fokus på hur båda gestaltar vardagsmyter i en barthesiansk mening. I analysen behandlas ett verk av vardera författare: Elfriede Jelineks Älskarinnorna (Die Liebhaberinnen) samt Kristina Lugns Om ni hör ett skott---. Ämnen som diskuteras är
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka psykiatriska öppenvårdspatienters preferenser att ha med sina anhöriga i behandlingen, om de har blivit tillfrågade att ha med anhöriga och om patienten tror att anhöriga vill delta i behandlingen, samt patienters syn på hur patienten familjeorienterad behandling kan påverka patientens behandling. Studien är en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med 150 d
The aim of this thesis is to enhance Axis Communications’ (Axis) product portfolio using new emerging technologies, developing products that will increase their global market share. By improving their products’ heat resistance Axis will gain a competitive advantage over its competitors in warm climate countries, enabling a great potential for market share growth. By determining the properties of
In this master thesis a process in Delmia was created for digital test assembly. Delmia is a computer program for simulations, at Scania Delmia is used for simulating truck assembly. The process created was made to be easily reused in future tests. The base of the process came from the best practice document for manufacturing at Scania. To do this a study of the systems at Scania was made to get a
In Ethiopia social welfare is found at an infancy stage where only people who have been working as public employees are guaranteed with a secured income upon retirement. On the other hand those who never had the opportunity of formal employment and those self-employed individuals do not have a guaranteed income where there is no provision by the state. By exploring care for the elderly in Ethiopia
This thesis consists of an initial environmental investigation of the Sparbanken Öresund. The Bank currently has an environmental policy and ambitions from 2011 but no one has been responsible for implementation of them. In addition, upon my review of the policy and ambition list I found that there were neither measurable objectives nor procedures for how those objectives will be met, thereby crea
The restrictions on China´s capital account is the major restrictive factor for the international use of the RMB. The potential international status of the RMB must be included into the consideration by the monetary authority in designing the pace and form of liberalizing the restrictions, because, in general, the potential international status directly induces the potential benefits and risks. Th
The shortage of accessible water in the world is especially severe in arid regions, where many are already living to the limits of survival. In such areas, the conditions are in fact getting more extreme due to climate change and a growing population. The share of water is to be distributed for human use, as well as agriculture, which is why irrigation with lower quality water is essential. In add
Recent research indicates that several neurological diseases that affect motor functions could be diagnosed using analysis of detailed arm and hand motion. This analysis has earlier been carried out manually by looking for certain mo- tion patterns in patients and animals performing a skilled reaching task. In this thesis we investigate the possibility of performing these tests in a more auto- mat
Humanity has a complex relationship with the natural world. One aspect of this relationship is that of dependence on the services that the natural world provides. Commonly referred to as ecosystem services, these are services such as the provisioning of freshwater, timber, and medicines, the regulation of climate, and the maintenance of air quality. This relationship is especially important in the
