Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan arbetstillfredsställelse och kreativt arbetsklimat, vilket mättes med en svensk översättning av Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) och Creativity Climate Questionnaire (CCQ). Hypotesen var att kreativt arbetsklimat korrelerar med arbetstillfredsställelse. Intresse fanns också att undersöka om det gick att finna tendenser till skillnader

According to Polarity Theory, all ideologies are fundamentally polarized by a conflict between Humanism, which idealizes and glorifies humanity, and Normativism, which portrays human goodness and worth as contingent upon conformity and achievement. Humanism and Normativism have, however, turned out to be distinct worldviews rather than opposite ends of a single bipolar continuum. Introducing a hie

Risk and vulnerability analyses can play important roles in the society’s proactive emergency management. This thesis addresses two ways of improving the analysis of risk and vulnerability analysis in this context. First, by developing methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technical infrastructure networks and emergency response systems. Secondly, by aiming to improve practises related to

Although high-throughput studies of gene expression have generated large amounts of data, most of which is freely available in public archives, the use of this valuable resource is limited by computational complications and non-homogenous annotation. To address these issues, we have performed a complete re-annotation of public microarray data from human skeletal muscle biopsies and constructed a m

Background: The observation of differences in the way apparently similar patients are treated from one health care setting to another, i.e., practice variation, have been recognized in numerous studies. The variations across the health care settings have been shown to exist for different outcomes. However, any measurement of any system will reveal some form of variation and this normal inevitable

This research programme focuses on Democracy and Public Administration, with an emphasis on making democratic institutions better fit to handle contested issues through the use of insights from Peace and Conflict Studies. We are interested in public administration’s role in addressing and (possibly) resolving contested issues and conflicts, in order to increase equality, strengthen processes of in

Circulating free fatty acids are often elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obese individuals. Chronic exposure to high levels of saturated fatty acids has detrimental effects on islet function and insulin secretion. Altered gene expression and epigenetics may contribute to T2D and obesity. However, there is limited information on whether fatty acids alter the genome-wide transcript

Bolagsledningens skadeståndsskyldighet regleras i 29 kap ABL och innebär att VD och styrelseledamöter kan bli krävda på ersättning för skador som orsakats av deras vållande då de fullgjort sitt uppdrag för bolaget. Det är sedan bolaget, aktieägare samt vissa andra som kan kräva ersättning för skada. En ansvarsförsäkring som tecknas av bolaget täcker skadeståndskrav upp till ett visst belopp och in

It is generally assumed that whereas referential nominal phrases are at least of DP size, predicative nominal phrases are structurally smaller. However, this paper argues that at least in Scandinavian, predicative nominal phrases as well as referential nominal phrases can be bigger than, equal to, or smaller than DP. Hence, the only consistent difference between nominal arguments and nominal predi

The growth of environmental consciousness during the recent decades has led to new ethical challenges. Environmental crises have brought to the fore the seldom acknowledged questions of what duties current generations owe towards future generations and what duties human beings owe towards natural entities. A new subdiscipline - environmental ethics - has emerged that especially focuses on these mo
