Shared Reading is a reading promotion concept that originated in the United Kingdom and has, over the past three years, begun to engage various actors in Sweden including the Swedish hospital library. In the use of the method, health-promoting effects have also been identified, which is why Shared Reading has interested research in so-called medical humanities in a Swedish as well as an internatio
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a technique that can change the way automated systems interact with their environments. The most common LiDAR systems used in industry today are based on the concept of Time-of-Flight (ToF) and utilizes pulsed lasers. Coherent LiDAR, such as Frequency-Modulated Continuous- Wave (FMCW) LiDAR, which operates with a chirped continuous-wave laser, offers advantag
The principle of fiscal neutrality is the essence of the EU VAT system. It aims at relieving taxable persons of the burden of VAT through the deduction mechanism provided for by the VAT Directive. In its another aspect, the principle is a means of reflecting the equal treatment of taxable persons. The equal treatment of taxable persons ensures that taxable persons in a comparable situation are not
Den sydatlantiska anomalin (SAA) är området med svagt magnetfält som sträcker sig från Afrikas västra kust in över Brasilien. Under det senaste 160 åren har området som omfattar den SAA växt i storlek samtidigt som området långsamt har rört sig västerut. Då SAA sammanfaller med en generell avsänkning i magnetfältets intensitet har det spekulerats i att den SAA kan vara inledningen på ett större skThe South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is the area with a weak magnetic field that extends from the western coast of Africa to inland Brazil. During the last 160 years, the area that covers the SAA has had an increase in size with a simultaneous, slow westward movement. The development of the SAA coincides with a generally decreasing intensity of the magnetic field. This has led to speculations that the
Dagens samhälle präglas av en omfattande arbetslöshet. Arbetslöshet är stigmatiserat ur allmänhetens perspektiv. Vissa grupper av personer drabbas hårdare av denna stigmatisering då de redan bär på ett annat stigma. En sådan grupp är ex-kriminella personer med en missbruksbakgrund, så kallade ex-missbrukare, vilka utsätts för fördomar och exkludering i arbetssökande sammanhang. Denna uppsats under
The purpose of this work is of evaluating the choice of HfO2 and ITO as the dielectric and the top electrode in high performance resistive random-access memory (RRAM), respectively. The study is twofold, as it quantifies performance according to standard figures of merit for this technology, as well as provides insight into the physics of current conduction for this material choice. Results are achi
The fertility decline that occurred in the industrialized world between 1870-1930 has been extensively studied and a considerable amount of theories exist to explain it. However, few of them address past generations’ influence on reproductive behavior. This thesis examines the presence and magnitude of intergenerational transmission in childbearing from mothers to daughters before, during and afte
The purpose of this research is to complement existing research within organisational growth and work motivation by focusing particularly on the employees at HGFs. The aim is to study what factors determine employee motivation, to what extent and, how it changes as the firm increases in size. The study is operationalised through the employment of Self-Determination Theory, and the empirical findin
The official controls performed by a food inspector as well as the written official documents is essential for ensuring food safety and minimizing acute health risks caused by pathogenic microorganisms. It’s important that the operator changes behavior after the inspector has completed the control, in order to maintain good management of the business and of the food. The purpose of this study is t
Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka sambanden mellan yrkeselevers motivation och deras uppfattning av ämnet svenska på gymnasiet med avsikten att bidra till en ökad förståelse för de faktorer som försvårar yrkeselevers fullföljande av sina utbildningar. För att uppnå syftet genomfördes en enkätundersökning på ett yrkesgymnasium. Resultaten av undersökningen visade att elevernas inställning till o
Retailbranschen har under de senaste åren genomgått en radikal förändring där allt större fokus har flyttats mot e-handeln. E-handelskonsumenter upplever ofta en osäkerhet och en känsla av risktagande på grund av orealistisk produktexponering, inkorrekt produktinformation, osäkerhet kring betalning, datainsamling samt produkternas kvalitet och material. Det är därför av yttersta vikt att e-handels
Research purpose: This study aims at finding out (1) how retailers' sales can be influenced if customers are offered to use SSTs (self-service technologies) for navigating themselves directly to the items they want to buy. (2) how the shopping experience can be influenced if customers are offered to use SSTs for navigating themselves directly to the items they want to buy. Methodology: Based o
Klimatklivet is an investment subsidy, to support measures that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Even though Klimatklivet has contributed to climate investments that is estimated to have reduced Sweden’s emissions by 1.3 million tons of greenhouse gases, the investment subsidy has had to endure criticism. Klimatklivet has been accused of not being a cost-effective policy. The objective of t
Metabolic modelling coupled with flux-balance analysis (FBA) has become a popular tool in systems biology for quantitative predictions of metabolic processes in silico, and as an aid in metabolic engineering. Drawing upon gene-protein-reaction associations deducible from information on the genome-level, so-called genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are unequalled in their scope as they attempt to
I svensk rättspraxis har förekommit fall där domstol har ålagt aktieägare personligt betalningsansvar, trots principen om aktieägares begränsade ansvar för bolagets förpliktelser i 1 kap. 3 § aktiebolagslagen (2005:551), utan uttryckligt stöd i lag. Det har till synes bildats en uppfattning i både praxis och doktrin som ger förklaringen att domstolen med en oskriven associationsrättslig regel kan In Swedish case law, there have been cases where a court has imposed a personal liability on shareholders, so-called piercing the corporate veil, despite the principle of the shareholders' limited liability for the company's obligations in the 1st Chapter 3 § of the Swedish Companies Act, without explicit support in law. Six years ago, the Supreme court had the opportunity to decide in the
Its carbon sink potential as well as soil fertility benefits make organic carbon a soil variable for which reliable quantification methods are sought. This thesis work aims at investigating the possibility of adapting a large soil spectral library to build models for SOC predictions with remotely sensed, multispectral data. For this purpose, the continental-scale LUCAS topsoil database was spectra
Eutrophication and low dissolved oxygen levels are spreading all over the world, causing changes in fish distribution and decline in fish abundance and catch of fish. This study assesses the current nitrogen (N) surface runoff to the Öresund strait, the seafloor oxygen demand it cause, the subsequent effect on fish catch, and the constructed wetland area needed to retain current N loads. This is a
Arbetslivet och idrottslivet har mängder av beröringspunkter där lärdomar kan utvinnas från varandra. Denna uppsats ämnar därför vara gränsöverskridande i sin karaktär och med hjälp av ett kvalitativt tillvägångsätt är forskningsstudiens syfte att tolka, förstå, analysera samt förmedla vilka tänkbara förutsättningar som kan påverka elittränares möjlighet att leda lärande samt hur ett kollektivcent
The aim of this study was to analyze if soya framing would be nationally-economical to produce with a vertical hydroponic system, compared to being imported from Brazil. With the intention to study the production cost and climate impact effects of local production. The costs and benefits of the culture have been analyzed and compared to imported soya from Brazil. In order to answer the questions o
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has become a commercially viable technology. The technology uses the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction between coils to transfer electrical power wirelessly. Due to the increasing interest in WPT, the need to understand how the power transfer between coils behaves in different settings, as well as the ability to simulate the process, have become increasingly imp
