Objective: Previous research using personality traits to predict life outcomes has typically utilized the Big Five factors and, occasionally, their facets. However, recent research suggests that using items (reflecting personality nuances) can account for greater predictive variance. The present study examines the predictive validity of the different levels of the personality trait hierarchy (fact
The demands on wireless communications are continuously growing, due to the fact that when higher network capabilities are delivered, new features and applications are created, calling for even higher requirements. To keep pace with these demands and to allow new applications to rise, the limits of mobile networks must be pushed regularly. Therefore, the International Telecommunication Union targe
In response to the pressing need to address climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study implemented Gaussian Mixture Models Clustering to detect the levels of GHG emissions and related socio-economic factors in 174 countries. To handle the panel data, Principal Component Analysis was conducted to achieve dimension reduction. Based on the algorithm, countries were gr
Verksamhetsöverlåtelser är vanligt förekommande i dagens samhälle och påverkar därmed många av oss människor som lever och arbetar i samhället.

At Hagforstvätten a dry-cleaning facility operated 1970 – 1993 and leached huge amounts of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to soil and groundwater. This study was conducted at the contaminated site and focused on applying the geophysical methods Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Induced Polarization (IP) to investigate if it was possible to locate source zone, degradation zones and groundwater p
60 00 cancerfall rapporteras in varje år till socialstyrelsen men där numera fler än hälften botas. Detta eftersom vi blir skickligare inom området och nya behandlingstekniker utvecklas. Rektalcancer, även kallat ändtarmscancer är en cancerform som ökat under de senaste decennierna. Behandling av patienter med rektalcancer varierar beroende på var och i vilket stadie tumören befinner sig i. Oftast
Abstract Background: Person-centered care is increasingly regarded as being synonymous with best quality care. However, the concept and its precise meaning is a subject of debate, and reliable and valid measurement tools are few. This study is a part of a larger project named KUPA who´s main aim is to improve palliative care and person centeredness for elders living in nursing homes in two souther
I denna studie undersöks demokratibistånd och under vilka förutsättningar det kan generera demokratiska och ekonomiska effekter i mottagarlandet genom en deskriptiv litteraturöversikt av moderna forskningsresultat. Förutsättningar hos både givarparten och mottagarlandet tas upp för diskussion. Studien går sedan vidare med en fallstudie av Moçambique. I fallstudien undersöks hur förutsättningarna v
Bakgrund: Bristning i samband med förlossning kan innebära komplikationer för kvinnan på både kort och lång sikt. Det föreligger en oklar evidens kring den effekt perinealskydd har för att förhindra bristning. Syftet: var att belysa barnmorskans erfarenhet av att utföra perinealskydd för att förhindra bristning i samband med förlossning. Metod: Tolv barnmorskor intervjuades med hjälp av en semistr
De senaste årens kritiska debatt kring NPM har mynnat ut i tillsättandet av Tillitsdelegationen – en pågående statlig utredning med uppdraget att utforma en mer tillitsbaserad styrning av offentlig sektor. I följande uppsats utför vi en kvalitativ idéanalys av utredningens syn på begreppet tillitsbaserad styrning. Efter att ha identifierat centrala värden inom begreppet kategoriserar vi denna värd

A growing body of literature within political ecology is concerned with the exercise of political and economic power within climate change policies (Robbins, 2020). In this thesis, I explore the political economy of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), using methodological reflections and empirical material from a case study of a Ugandan smallholder agricultural community. To assess how local communit
5G New Radio is the next generation of mobile networks and it comes with promises of ultra-high speeds, ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency. This has posed a challenge for the engineers entrusted with the task of finding solutions which could fulfil the specification, and as a result, some promising areas have received increased attention in recent years. Signal processing techniques like
Idag präglas världen av teknikutvecklingen som både anses vara en fördel och en nackdel. För den kriminella världen och organiserade ekonomiska brottsligheten är digitaliseringen en fördel. Moderna tekniska lösningar gör det enklare för gärningsmännen att begå brott, såsom penningtvätt vilket regleras i penningtvättslagen (2017:630). Penningtvättsbrott förekommer både nationellt som internationellToday, the world is characterized by technological development that could be considered both as an advantage and a disadvantage. For the criminal world and organized economic crime, digitalization is seen as an advantage. The modern technical solutions make it easier for the perpetrators to commit crimes, such as money laundering which is regulated in the Money Laundering Act (2017:630). Money lau
Cancer immunotherapies activate the immune system to overcome tumor resistance and restore the antitumor immune response, however, excessive activation of the immune system may also affect normal tissues and organs and cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) of varying severity. Current in vitro assays used for testing and predicting of irAEs induced by immunotherapeutics are associated with s
