This study is concerned with how impact from research and innovation (R&I) programmes is accounted for in impact evaluation reports. Establishing causal links between a research funding instrument and different effects, poses well known methodological difficulties. In the light of such challenges, textual accounts about causal links ought to be carefully written. Nevertheless, impact evaluatio

Family contributes to immigrant entrepreneurs’ business development in different ways. Family provides financial resources, accept lower salaries and offer volunteer based work. However, there is a lack of research investigating the role of family in the oppoertunity creation process.Thereby the aim of this paper is to explore how family influences the process of entrepreneurial opportunity create

Among the many unique flight behaviours of Common Swifts Apus apus, the most puzzling may be their ascents to high altitudes during both dusk and dawn. Twilight ascents have been hypothesized to be functionally related to information acquisition, including integration of celestial orientation cues, high-altitude visual landmarks and sampling of weather conditions. However, their exact purpose rema

Atrial fibrillation is a highly prevalent arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke, heart failure and death(1). We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in individuals of European ancestry, including 6,707 with and 52,426 without atrial fibrillation. Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci were identified and replicated in an additional sample of individuals of European anc

The following report contains a study over what happens with the proposals for action that is presented in fire investigations. Literature, 105 fire investigations and interviews were used to gather information. The literature shows that proposals for action are a natural conclusion in almost all investigation methods but little over half of the fire investigations present them and only a few had

En kvalitativ studie av ett integrationsprojekt i Malmö våren 2007 där musik användes som medel i integrationsprocessen. Projektet kallades Möten – musik – mångfald och genomfördes av organisationen Spiritus Mundi i samarbete med fyra olika stadsdelar i Malmö. Studien utvärderar projektet med fokus på de inblandade pedagogernas och Spiritus Mundis erfarenheter av projektet samt musikens roll för p

This study investigated how ostracism and social exclusion may lead to individuals being more willing to participate in and recommend extreme action against a political cause and/or against an opposing group that is hindering their aims. In addition, it assessed if rejection sensitivity and right-wing authoritarianism moderated this effect. The participants were asked to read an article describing

Tidigare forskning på samkönad familjebildning i Sverige har främst rört homosexuella kvinnor och män som tillsammans delat föräldraskap i så kallade flerföräldrafamiljer. I denna kvalitativa studie fokuseras mödrar som istället vänt sig till fertilitetsklinik för insemination med donatorsäd från permanent okända donatorer. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med elva mödrar från sju samkönad

This paper examines whether a resident's estimate of five traffic-related phenomena (accident frequency, incident frequency, difficulty of crossing the street, traffic flow, and speed level) in their neighborhood may depend on factors such as gender, age, how frequently they walk along the street or on characteristics of the street. The material consists of survey data from 919 residents living al

Insulin is released from pancreatic beta-cells as a result of Ca(2+)-evoked exocytosis of dense-core granules. Secretion is biphasic, which has been suggested to correspond to the release of different granule pools. Here we review and carefully reanalyze previously published patch-clamp data on depolarization-evoked Ca(2+)-currents and corresponding capacitance measurements. Using a statistical mi

Denna uppsats undersöker det nya granskningssystemet av utländska direktinvesteringar i UDI-lagen (2023:560). Syftet är att undersöka och analysera bakgrunden och utformningen av denna lagstiftning.

Forskning visar att naturupplevelser kan leda till ökat mänskligt välmående. Dessa fördelar är särskilt värdefulla för sjuka och sköra personer, såsom patienter på sjukhus. Genom att analysera planeringsdokument och intervjua relevanta aktörer undersöker denna studie hur naturområden är inkluderade i planeringen av ett framtida sjukhus i Helsingborg, Sverige. Mer specifikt så ger den insikt i hur A growing field of research links natural environments to increased human well-being. These benefits are especially valuable for people in the process of regaining health, for instance those who are in hospitals. Through reviewing planning documents and interviewing key actors, this thesis explores how natural environments are incorporated in the planning of a future hospital in Helsingborg, Swede
