Fast substitution of chloride for bromide and iodide trans to triphenylsilyl in trans-PtCl(SiPh3)(PMe2Ph)2 has been studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry in acetonitrile solution. Substitution is reversible with an observable solvent path via the solvento complex trans-[Pt(SiPh3)(MeCN)(PMe2Ph)2]+, which has also been synthesized and characterized in solution. Rate constants for the forward and

In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from

This article suggests an extension of the standard decomposition of the concentration index that allows for an exploration of the pathways through which socioeconomic background relates to income-related health inequality. This novel approach is contrasted to the standard one using a panel of Swedish women in Statistics Sweden’s Survey of Living Conditions for one vital health-related behavior, sm

Health impact assessments (HIA) have largely focused on mortality; this report, therefore, examines and evaluates which morbidity impacts are appropriate to include in HIAs. The task was assigned by Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the original report (written in Swedish) was performed by Anna Oudin (AO), Erin Flanagan (EF), and Ebba Malmqvist (EM). The original report also inclu

Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, cutting-edge technologies require devices to be small, ultrafast, and operational in a wide range of regimes. To fulfill these requirements we need to go beyond the traditional materials, i.e. to solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress in this direction is conjectured to stem from materials in which the effect of inter-partiCutting-edge technology needs small, ultrafast devices, operational in a wide range of regimes. This calls for solids with novel, unconventional and tailorable properties. Great progress is expected from materials in which electron-electron and electron-phonon correlations strongly affect the dynamics ( i.e. "unforeseen" useful properties are expected to be most likely found in systems with comple

This paper is a master's thesis by Erik Kivilo and Carl Olofsson at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. The research and writing took place during the fall of 2014 under the supervision of Magnus Wiktorsson at the Division of Mathematical Statistics at Lund University, and Per Thastrom at EY, Copenhagen. The thesis concerns prudent valuation of fair-valued nancial instruments

The purpose of the study was to examine how high school students in Kenya define and discuss democracy. The aim was further to examine which factors, both positive and negative that are assumed to affect the democratization in their country. The goal was to contribute to a critical debate around how the concept of democracy is defined in existing theories and how it is implemented by development p

Den här uppsatsen är en komparativ studie mellan originalmanuset till och slutversionen av filmen Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019), tillsammans med en djupgående undersökning av den instrumentala filmmusikens uppbyggnad utifrån Claudia Gorbman och Pauline Reays tankar om den instrumentala musikens roll i filmtexten. Baserat på resultaten av dessa analyser görs sedan en tolkning av filmen med utgångspunThis thesis is a comparative study of the original script for the film Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019) and the final cut of the film, along with a close examination of the structure of instrumental score for the film, using Claudia Gorbman and Pauline Reay’s ideas on the impact of the instrumental score on the film text. From the results of this analysis an interpretation of the film is then made, usi

We found that Swedish fashion companies are ambivalent towards enhancing or concealing their country of origin. Although brand managers acknowledge Swedish country of origin effects as positive in general, their marketing communication is sometimes more focused on positioning the brand as an international label without boundaries. Generally, Björn Borg tries to capitalize on their Swedish country

The study was conducted through an abductive approach and a qualitative research strategy using a hermeneutic epistemological stance. The data was collected using interviews and respondents selected with a purposive sample technique. With interviews as a data collection technique, we have gathered data from five respondents representing larger listed companies, auditors from the four largest audit

In 1997 the Ugandan government introduced a reform program with the ambition to implement universal primary education. The abolition of tuition fees would ideally guarantee access to the public service delivery system as far as primary education is concerned and help to integrate underprivileged groups with the rest of the diverse society. The launch of universal primary education in Uganda implie

Many researchers emphasize the increasing strategic importance of supply chain management, but there is still a lack of concrete guidance for managers faced with strategic decisions in supply chain. Within decision-making theories, the rational decision-making model is the most commonly used. This because of its suitable foundation, enabling a structure to the complex decision process. The rationa

The Swedish district heating market is becoming increasingly saturated, whilst the UK heat market is about to run into copious turmoil due to the faltering and decreasing levels of natural gas available. Swedish companies are looking to enter new market segments, and there seems to be something stirring under the surface in terms of district heating in the UK. The development of district heating i

Background and problem: In October 2010 the European Commission issued a Green Paper on Audit Policy in which they set out to draw lessons of the auditors’ role in the recent financial crisis. The European Commission considers the function of the audit to be a key contributor to investor confidence and suggests a number of controversial measures with the aim of ensuring financial stability in the
