The question of whether private profit driven providers deliver health care with a higher productivity and efficiency in comparison to public alternatives has been a subject of debate in both political and scientific contexts The empirical research on comparisons between private and public providers has however mainly been based on experiences from U.S. hospitals. The purpose of this study is to c

The point of departure for this Master’s thesis is twofold. First, the authors notice an apparent shift in focus, from collections towards the audiences, which has affected the international museum sector during the last decades. Second, they notice a change in the discourse concerning the cultural sector towards interpreting issues in economic terms. The development of the British method Generic

Purpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to analyse if there are any significant differences in target shareholder return between friendly and hostile takeover bids on the Scandinavian market. We also intend to investigate the differences between hostile and friendly bid characteristics, and determine to what extent these differences can be explained by; firm relatedness, method of payment, tim

Health plays a vital role in every human’s life; and the centre for the maintaining and retaining our health lies in the health care. Thanks to innovations in health care technology and innovations of new drugs the health care is constantly improving, which contributes to improved survival probability and improved quality of life. However, this development in health care comes at a high price, sin

Det svenska arbetslöshetsunderstödet tog form under sent 1800-tal efter initiativ från fackförbunden. En arbetslöshetsförsäkring under statlig kontroll grundlades först 1935. Den statliga arbetslöshetsförsäkringen, i fortsatt statlig regi, var i princip den enda regelbundna ersättningen som en arbetslös kunde erhålla under sin arbetslöshet fram till slutet av 1960-talet. Ett nytt omställningssyste

This paper focuses on the distinction between the private and the public in relation to violence and sexual crimes against women in relationships and intimate relationships. Historically, violence and sexual abuse in intimate relationships has been placed in the private sphere away from the law. Concepts such as "family matter" and "family violence" has expressed that a certain

The purpose of this research is to extend the theory of humor research and add a new nuance to humor theory. Additionally, the study intends to measure the effect different humorous content types have on ad likability and purchase intention, as well as the relationship between the two. A mixed method approach was applied, conducting focus groups and questionnaires in order to study and understand

Bergslagen i centrala Sverige är känt för sina talrika mineraliseringar av olika typ. Denna studie fokuserar på en liten bandad järnmalm, från södra Dalarna, och dess associerade bergarter. Studiens fältarbete har genomförts i staden Ludvikas närhet, där den bandade järnmalmen har en längd av cirka 17 km och sträcker sig från ett område cirka en kilometer söder om sjön Väsman i NNO riktning.

Popular Abstract in Chinese 在世界許多地方蛾類幼蟲是主要的農業害蟲，但也有蛾類養殖業為獲取其絲綢蠶繭，例如家蠶。其實它也是第一個也是最好的研究揮發性有機分子用於傳遞信息的昆蟲研究模型。一般來說是雌蛾釋放信息素通過很長的距離來吸引雄性同類，而且具有出色的靈敏度和特異性。至今有記載的蛾類信息素都屬於同一類化合物(脂肪酸衍生物), 在信息素腺體內合成。信息素的生物合成涉及到脂肪酸的脫飽合，碳鏈縮短，並最終還原，乙酰化或氧化成醛等。這些反應過程中的酶已經進化到具有專一性，專門用於生產複雜的化學信號，使得蛾類的信息素存在豐富的化學多樣性。在本論文中，首先對幾個脫飽和酶進行研究。第一篇文章對冬尺蠖的脫飽合酶進行克隆並在酵母中通過異源表達證明了它具有把順十一,順十四,順十七-二十碳三烯酸轉化成順十一,順十四,順十七,十九-二十碳四烯酸的能力。這是有史以來第一個對甲基端脫飽合酶Moth caterpillars are major agricultural pests in many parts of the world. In general female moths attract male mates with their pheromone over long distance. Most of the described moth pheromones belong to the same class of chemical compounds, fatty acid derivatives that are produced de novo in the pheromone gland. The pheromone biosynthesis involves desaturation, chain-shortening by β-oxidation

Biological markers offer a way of assessing ethanol intake and determining whether a health problem is alcohol related. This study investigated the use of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in blood as a new marker of alcohol abuse. PEth is an abnormal phospholipid, formed only in the presence of ethanol via the transphosphatidylation reaction of phospholipase D (PLD). A new HPLC-evaporative light scatter

Imorgon lördag är det ett år sedan Mahsa Jina Amini mördades av moralpolisen i Teheran. Sedan dess har 600 demonstranter dödats i protesterna mot förtrycket i Iran. Det är hög tid att Sverige och väst ställer sig bakom det iranska folkets kamp för frihet, skriver Arvin och Ardavan Khoshnood.

Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka faktorer till varför företag i Sverige väljer att byta revisorer och även att bidra till tidigare forskning genom att bekräfta eller komplettera tidigare forskningsresultat. Metod: Studiens urval bestod av 94 börsnoterade svenska företag, från Stockholmsbörsens small-, mid- och large cap-listor där 47 hade bytt revisor mellan 2009–2015 och 47 utgjorde kontrollgruppen
