Peter Pohl was born in Germany in 1940 but grew up in Stockholm, a setting reflected in many of his books. Pohl, a researcher at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm, made his fiction debut with the multi-prize-winning novel "Janne, min vän" (1985), and is internationally acclaimed for, among other things, the way in which his teenage novels highlight existential questions. The purpose of t

"Personality determines very largely the use a person makes of his intellectual gifts" (Eysenck, 1988). Computerization of neuropsychological tests has made possible a detailed analysis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects of a person´s test performance. Factor analyses of test data generally bring out two main factors of performance: speed and accuracy, representing both the intellectual

Hard QCD processes have been studied by measuring the di-jet event rate for deep inelastic scattering in the kinematic range 5 < Q2 < 100 GeV2 and 10-4 < x < 10-2. The jets we re reconstructed using the cone algorithm in the hadronic center-of-mass frame in which the transverse momentum of the jets were required to be greater than 5 GeV. The result of the investigation is that using Leading Order

The focus of the thesis is the situation of and the management control systems in middle-sized, manufacturing companies. We have examined the relevance of different types of management control systems for different situations and formulated taxonomies of the contingency factors environment, production situation and business strategy. We found two types of situation. The first type, the interactive

Acidaemia at birth is a result of an impaired intrauterine gas exchange. Between 1988 and 1996, acid-base balance in cord artery blood pH was assessed in 23 016 of 27 064 newborns (85%). Obstetric risk factors for acidaemia (cord artery pH < 7.05) were identified in a case-control study. Independent risk factors were breech delivery, administration of oxytocin or pethidine, cord entanglement and m

In this thesis, I explore the behavior of rotating ultra-cold Bose gases, by diagonalizing the Hamiltonian. This method has the advantage of being exact in the limit of weak interactions, and thus is a useful complement to the more commonly used Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, which relies on a mean-field approximation. It is generally known that an ultra-cold Bose gas shows some remarkable proper

Accounting measures are often used as a basis for decisions and computations. In these capacities, accounting measures are often taken for granted. This thesis concerns the use of accounting measures in contracts and in legislation. The main focus of the thesis is the use of accounting measures in contracts for performance compensation. In this capacity, the usefulness of the measures derives fro

Business organizations increasingly face the problem of how to generate and share knowledge in collaboration with other, separate, business organizations. Researchers in the field of inter-organizational learning have started to study the partner-characteristic, partner-dynamic, and partner-situational factors that influence the process and outcome of such strategic learning collaboration. However

I denna uppsats står rädsla för att tala i fokus. Talrädsla belyses med retorikämnet som grund, och studien tar avstamp i den svenska gymnasieskolan. Syftet med studien är att ta fram ett handfast material för hur svensklärare på gymnasieskolan kan arbeta med talrädda elever. För att uppnå syftet genomförs en litteraturstudie, där handböcker som behandlar området talrädsla studeras. I dessa handbö

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fastanställda på den svenska arbetsmarknaden upplever att de påverkas av ett chefsbyte. Undersökningen analyserar betydelsen det kan ha för den anställda samt vilka faktorer som kan påverka och orsaka ett negativt eller positivt upplevt chefsbyte. Detta skulle kunna vara något de flesta företag skulle ha användning av vid ett chefsbyte, vilket gör ämne
