Authors: Alexandra Lindell & Elin Moberg Title: Dress for success - A quantitative study of attitudes regarding dress codes in professional social work Supervisor: Anna Tegunimataka Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The aim of this study was to examine and chart attitudes towards clothing amongst social work students as well as professional social workers. The target groups consist of so
Due to the importance of auditors` role in lending credibility to the financial reports, there should be guidelines and laws to assure the users of the fact that auditors are independent. Therefore, the professionals have designed Code of Ethics to be able to harmonize the ethical behavior of auditors and to ensure that auditors react similarly to similar ethical issues. We are going to test the I
Denna uppsats har för avsikt att se hur amerikansk krigsfilm porträtterar rättfärdigheten i invasionen av Irak 2003. Avsikten är att fånga argumentationen som förs i filmerna om rättfärdighetens varande sett ur ett amerikanskt perspektiv. Genom denna förståelse kan man skapa förståelse över hur dessa filmer färgar synen på kriget hos åskådarna. Tre produktioner har valts att studeras; Green Zone (
Uppsatsen fokuserar på några vuxnas erfarenheter av att lära sig svenska som andraspråk. Syftet är att undersöka hur vuxna inlärare upplever sin egen svenska idag, vilka faktorer de tillskriver sitt resultat och om de idag känner sig motiverade att fortsätta studera svenska. Metoden är kvalitativ i form av åtta halvstrukturerade intervjuer med kvinnliga informanter i åldrarna 35 till 49. De har bo
Back in the days it was considered that it was your own problem if your property burned down. It continued to the 1950 when the department of housing came out guides to building code which are the foundation of the new Swedish building code. 1960 came the first collected building code that contained laws and rules about firesafety. In 1987 they accepted PBL and in 1994 it was drastically changed b
The latest years have seen the worldwide interest around wind power increasing significantly. Italy as well has joined this global movement. But does the Italian wind power industry have the capabilities for a substantial and sustainable future growth? This paper analyzes the Italian wind power sector using a slightly modified Porter’s diamond model in a comparative analysis with the Spanish one,
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Utvärdering av borrhålsloggar. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att göra en utvärdering av wireline borrhålsloggar från borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km öster om Staffanstorp i Skåne. Den undersökta delen av borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4 befinner sig inom den potentiella reservoarsandstenen, Lundasandstenen. Wireline borrhålsloggar är geofysiska verktyg som används This study is an evaluation of formation characteristics, as derived from wire-line well logs, of the Lund Member in the borehole Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km east of Staffanstorp, Skåne, Sweden, through the comparison to measured core data. The purpose is to assess the feasibility of using some of the porosity and permeability equations and cross-plots derived for the investigated section and applying th
Background. Antibiotic utilisation varies profoundly among and within countries, and the extent of antibiotic utilisation correlates with the frequency of bacterial resistance, particularly among children. Hence, it is important to assess which factors may influence prescribing. In addition to variations in morbidity, health-care organisation, drug regulatory and supply systems, prescriber's attit
In the beginning of the 1990s, the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture launched an ambitious program for constructing small hillside reservoirs in the northern and-central region of the country. At present, more than 720 reservoirs have been created. They consist of small compacted earth dams supplied with a, horizontal overflow weir. Due to lack of hydrological data and the area's extreme floods, ho
The isoscalar dipole (compression) mode is studied first using the schematic harmonic-oscillator model, and then the self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and random-phase approximation (RPA) are solved in coordinate space. Taking Pb-208 and the SkyM* interaction as a numerical example, the spurious component and the strength in the continuum are carefully examined using the sum rules. It is pointed o
Decision support systems (DSS) have generated high expectations as a tool to support activated sludge operation because of their ability to represent heuristic reasoning and to handle large amounts of qualitative, uncertain and low-accuracy data. Previous applications have been satisfactory to control simple problems, when static reasoning and literature-based solutions were enough. However to fac
The aim of this study was to analyze the composition of sway in adults and "healthy" elderly people and to evaluate the influence of vibration sensation and asymmetric vestibular function on the sway pattern. Ten adults with a mean age of 37.5 years and 40 healthy senior citizens with a mean age of 74.6 years living independently in the community were studied. Vibration-induced body sway was measu
The concept of actor capability outlines the basic features for the EU to be an international actor, separating it from nation-states and international organizations. This thesis applies this diagnostic concept to the case of EU-relations with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). More specifically, it studies how the actor capability has changed by comparing the years 2001 and 2011 re
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images are used to investigate the heart for medical and research purposes. By injecting a contrast substance into the patient, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can be visualized in CMR image sets consisting of a number of image slices at different levels of the heart. Analysis of these images can detect an infarction, delineate it and estimate its size. This
Utgångspunkt för denna kandidatuppsats i sociologi har varit att undersöka om det risktänkande som beskrivs av Ulrich Becks i hans teori om risksamhället kan urskiljas hos personer som har generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) översatt till svenska med generaliserat ångestsyndrom. Studien har utförts med en kvalitativ ansats i form av delvis strukturerade intervjuer som har genomförts med fyra män i
An experimental technique based on double planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF/PLIF) using two tracers for the measurement of the local concentration of liquid phase in a two-phase system with large bubbles is presented. Fluorescence emission intensity calibration was performed to validate the use of the laser and tracer combinations at each point in the images on two CCD cameras, separately. B
