Entrepreneurs often face high levels of stress (Boyd & Gumpert, 1983; Shepherd, Marchisio, Morrish, Deacon & Miles, 2010) and stress has been found to affect a team’s performance (Driskell, Salas & Johnston, 1999). At the same time, private equity investors are a common source to gain external funding, while being known for their value-added roles as well as potential risks (De Clercq,
Lärares befogenhet att med stöd av 5 kap. 6 § SkolL ingripa fysiskt mot elever i ordningsstörande situationer har varit, och är en omdebatterad fråga. Inte minst i samband med HD:s avgörande Soffallet från 2020. Undersökningar visar att delar av lärarkåren upplever en oro och rädsla för att ingripa och sedermera bli anmälda, vilket delvis tycks bottna i bestämmelsens otydlighet. I media har lärareTeacher ́s authority to, with support of chapter 5 section 6 of the Education Act, physically intervene towards students in disruptive situations has been and still is a debated topic, not least in connection with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 2020, called Soffallet (the sofa case). Surveys show that parts of the teaching staff experience a concern about intervening since they are afraid of b
Denna studies syfte är att undersöka hur användare av plattformen TikTok uppfattar att kvinnliga ideal konstrueras på plattformen med ett fokus på det aktuella mediafenomet “Clean Girl”. Studien ämnar även att urskilja fenomenets eventuella påverkan på dess användare på både en samhällelig och individuell nivå. Vi har valt att utgå från en kvalitativ metod där vi med hjälp av fokusgrupper har inte
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
Introduction Many kinds of footwear are used for various purposes in the workplace in Japan. Careful selection of footwear is needed to protect workers from coldness and to keep the performance of workers in cold workplace where employees have to work under -20℃. On the other hand, safety boots with high heat conductivity from foot to outside are needed for the workers in hot environments. But the
Uppsatsen behandlar mäns våld mot kvinnor och beskriver hur fenomenet har utvecklats från att betraktas som en privat angelägenhet till ett samhällsproblem. Genom statliga satsningar för att motverka mäns våld mot kvinnor har ett målgruppsanpassat samverkanskoncept mellan myndigheter utvecklats, under samma tak i Malmö. På denna verksamhet ska de utsatta individernas behov sättas i fokus, vilket f
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
Varje år diagnostiseras i Sverige ungefär 1100 personer med cancer i huvudhalsregionen. Typiska diagnoser är tungcancer, läppcancer och cancer i struphuvudet. I och runt om munhålan finns det stora skillnader i densitet mellan till exempel vävnad och tänder och vävnad och tandlagningar. I detta arbete så har effekterna av ett antal olika tandlagningsmaterial på dosberäkningarna undersökts. För a"Introduction: Around 1.000 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer in Sweden every year. Radiotherapy is often used to treat these tumors. When irradiating patients in the head and neck area there are some problems. One of these problems is the large difference in density between the oral tissue and dental materials. Another problem is the image artifacts due to high-density materials
Monte Carlo-simuleringar har fått en ökad betydelse som forskningsverktyg inom nuklearmedicinsk bildgivning eftersom man på ett mycket kontrollerat sätt kan studera nästan vad man vill. I denna studie har datorsimuleringar av ett PET-system gjorts med ett program som heter GATE. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) är en nuklearmedicinsk bildgivningsteknik som används mer och mer inom sjukvården sIntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool in research in the field of nuclear medicine imaging and there is a wide area of applications. The purpose of this work was (1) to understand the basics of the Monte Carlo simulation software Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE); (2) to create a model of Philips Gemini TF PET/CT system; (3) to run a number of simulations to comp
MAX-lab is a national synchrotron radiation facility in Lund. Nowadays, the MAX project consist of three facilities (three storage rings). A new storage ring is needed to improve material science, such as nanotechnology. MAX IV, also in Lund, will be 100 times more efficient than already existing synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring is controlled by a large number of magnets that are
The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application
Sex trafficking has from six hundred thousand to four million victims each year (McCabe and Manian, 2010: 41-43). Because of different legal barriers, sex trafficking is closely associated with organized crime; crime victims often do not search for support from legal systems, law enforcement authorities, or other officials (ibid.) This thesis was to understand how law affects the ability of preven
With an increasingly population and urbanization, the solid waste management have become a major challenge for local authorities in developing countries all over the world. The local authorities must improve their waste management in order to minimize the negative effects of solid waste and to avoid future land use conflicts. At the same time the economical resources are limited and solid waste ma
Importance: Early identification of the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using minimal information is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention, which can affect developmental outcomes. Objective: To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for predicting ASD using a minimal set of features from background and medical information and to evaluate the predictors and the util
Under senare år har en rad kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter begångna av multinationella företag mot sina anställda eller mot individer som på annat sätt påverkas av företagens verksamhet uppmärksammats av media, stater och internationella organisationer. Dessa kränkningar har framförallt begåtts i utvecklingsländer där respekten för de mänskliga rättigheterna i vissa fall är obefintlig. Proble
Importance: Supplementing preterm infants with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) has been inconsistent in reducing the severity and incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Furthermore, few studies have measured the long-term serum lipid levels after supplementation. Objective: To assess whether ROP severity is associated with serum levels of LC-PUFA, especially docosahexaenoi
GENERAL AIM: To investigate how common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be used in prevention and treatment of CVD. SUBJECTS: Subjects from the population-based Malmö-Diet-and-Cancer-(MDC)-Study (n=30447) and hypertensives from the Nordic-Diltiazem-(NORDIL)-Study (n=10881). METHODS AND RESULTS: A nine-SNP-lipid-genetic-risk-score was r
