This thesis is about combining three archaeological themes; the interpretation of grave contexts, social identities and Iron Age jewellery has been given a place here. The aim was to discern which meanings and functions that can be connected to Migration Period bracteates in graves, and if so how they manifest in the context. Bracteates, small pendants dated to the Migration and Vendel periods, ha
Konsumenters diskussioner kring produkter och tjänster, s.k. word of mouth, har fått alltmer betydelse i takt med framväxten av Internet och sociala medier. Dessa digitala verktyg har möjliggjort en större spridning av konsumenters åsikter och diskussioner, vilket kan påverka ett företags varumärke både negativt och positivt. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur word of mouth skapas kring Consumer discussions regarding products and services, so called word of mouth, has received increasing importance with the emergence of the Internet and social media. These digital tools have enabled a greater distribution of consumers' opinions and discussions, which can affect a company's brand both negatively and positively. The purpose of this study is to investigate how word of mouth
The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to investigate and explain an ongoing process on the Swedish book- and publishing-market as a result of the new alternative ways of publishing. The investigation concerns questions about what need the electronic publishing fills for the authors compared to traditional publishing, and what happens to the writer’s role when published digitally on self-publishin
Teachers’ experiences of school leadership behaviour and the social contexts in which these have taken place interest me. I aim to identify and understand what Swedish secondary school language teachers’ reflections are on what they require in terms of leadership from their principals in different contexts in order to gain personal job satisfaction. The objective is that this research can then fun
Bakgrund Det här examensarbetet handlar om Santa Marias mögelreklamationer av tortillas, samt hur företaget kan minska sina reklamationer. Eftersom tortillan inte har konserveringsmedel, skyddas den av modifierad atmosfär i primärförpackningen. När förpackningarna brister försvinner den skyddande gasen, och brödet möglar. Syfte och Mål Huvudsyftet för studien är att identifiera orsaken till att Problem Definition This Master Thesis is about the Swedish spice company Santa Maria. The company has experienced customer complaints with their tortilla product. The tortilla is packaged with a modified atmosphere technology. If the package gets punctured, the modified atmosphere will disappear and the product will begin to mould. Purpose and goal The main purpose of the study is to detect the
Med äktenskapet följer en ekonomisk gemenskap mellan makar i form av giftorätt. När äktenskapet upphör, genom död eller skilsmässa, ska den ekonomiska gemenskapen makarna emellan upplösas. Avtalsfriheten mellan makar är omfattande. Äktenskapsbalkens bodelningsregler, där likadelning utgör en grundläggande princip, sätter annars en yttre ram. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka arvs- och bodelnWith marriage comes an economic community between spouses in the form of marital property. When the marriage ends, either through death or divorce, the economic community between the spouses should be dissolved. There is extensive freedom of contract between spouses. However, the rules of division of property in the Marriage Code, where equal division is a fundamental principle, provide an externa
Inconel 718 is a widely used Nickel-based alloy in the aerospace sector. However, its exceptional mechanical properties make it a very difficult material for machining operations. Additive manufacturing presents itself as a promising alternative, as it would reduce the need for post-printing material removal by machining. However, not enough research has been done about the behaviour of this mater
During the last few years increased focus has been given to environmental and social issues due to worldwide changes in the weather and temperature, in some cases leading to natural disasters and dramatic changes in everyday life. Media and politicians have begun to address related problems, acknowledging the fact that human impact on nature is a real problem that poses as a threat to our future.
The Chinese economy has been growing with a pace and duration that the world has never seen before. Since 1978, the country has been facing a constant economic growth for more than 30 years. One of the pillars of the economy is the automotive industry; an interesting mixture of Joint Ventures and independent companies. The competition is cut throat and has even been more intense after the China’s
A novel flow-injection assay of the pathogenic enterobacteria using novel lectin-based quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor has been proposed. The biosensing part of the analytical device contained the lectins - Concanavalin A, lectins from Ulex europeus, Maackia amurensis, Lens culinaris, wheat germ agglutinin - immobilized on the gold surface of quartz crystal electrode which served as a
Internal dynamics of dansylated poly(propyleneamine) dendrimers (POPAM, G1-G4) in solution and excitation energy transfer from dansyls to eosin in POPAM-eosin complexes have been studied by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Combining the results from fluorescence anisotropy and the MD simulation studies suggests three time domains for the internal dyn
Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, little is known about the risk of EAC and ESCC related to other metabolic risk factors. We aimed to examine the risk of EAC and ESCC in relation to metabolic risk factors, separately and combined in a prospective cohort study. Metho
Whitewater from production of packaging board was treated in a combined anaerobic/aerobic biokidney, both in laboratory scale and pilot plant experiments. Both the laboratory experiments and the pilot plant trial demonstrate that a combined anaerobic/aerobic process is suitable for treating whitewater from a packaging mill. It is also possible to operate the process at the prevailing whitewater te
Objective: To estimate the occurrence of hand eczema in hairdressers in Sweden. Methods: The occurrence of hand eczema was estimated in a Swedish longitudinal retrospective cohort study including all female graduates from vocational schools for hairdressers from 1970 to 1995. A stratified sample from the general population acted as controls. A self-administered questionnaire including questions on
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledningen till avhandlingens första kapitel tar avstamp i en diskussion om normativa (hur man bör göra) och deskriptiva (hur man faktiskt går tillväga) förhandlingsteorier. Normativa teorier bygger på antaganden om att människor kan och vet i stort sett allting och de ger råd om hur man bör göra. De deskriptiva förhandlingsteorierna försöker förklara hur människor fakScholars within the Process school assume that cognitive and motivational aspects within the decision and integration processes may systematically effect the outcome of mergers and acquisitions. More specifically, it has been suggested that decision makers use heuristics for simplifying information processing which may introduce bias. The main aim of the present thesis is to add to the understandi
We report on the multi-wavelength observations of PKS 1510-089 (a flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) at z = 0.361) during its high activity period between 2008 September and 2009 June. During this 11 month period, the source was characterized by a complex variability at optical, UV, and gamma-ray bands, on timescales down to 6-12 hr. The brightest gamma-ray isotropic luminosity, recorded on 2009 Ma
The emergence of new modes of production, referred to as flexible specialization, post-Fordism or neo-Fordism, has played an important and controversial role in the debate among economic geographers and industrial sociologists. In the discussion assumptions have been made about a process of up-skilling of the work force. In this study a random sample of 351 white- and blue-collar workers in eight
The aim of this study was to examine whether small biopsy specimens are representative of the whole human skeletal muscle or whether the different fibre types are unevenly distributed at different depths of the muscle. Ten micrometre thick cross-sections of whole human tibialis anterior were prepared using LKB PMV Cryo-Microtomes with a stroke length of 160 to 480 mm and the sections were stained
