Catastrophic health disbursements produce numerous injuries in the families experiencing them. Increasing the level of impoverishment and reducing the expenditure on basic needs such as education, are expected to be the most disastrous consequences in which uncovered families may be involved. Through the use of a matching procedure and a diff-in-diff method, the impact of out-of-pocket health expe

This Master thesis was conducted at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB (TKMS AB), formerly known as Kockums AB. TKMS AB is based in Malmö, Sweden and is a manufacturer of conventionally powered submarines. The next generation of submarines, type A26, is currently under development and introduces many new features compared to prior submarine designs. Following increased fire and sound reduction demands

Mönsterseparation är en neural mekanism ansvarig för att skapa specifika, ickeöverlappande, minnesspår för stimuli som påminner om varandra. Trots denna mekanism, händer det att minnen överlappar och detta skapar ofta interferens i samband med att vi försöker plocka fram ett specifikt minne. För att reducera interferens vid framplockning aktiveras en annan mekanism, nämligen inhibition av relateraPattern separation is a neural mechanism for creating distinct, non-overlapping, memory traces for similar inputs. Despite this, memories may overlap, and this often produces interference during retrieval of a particular target memory. To reduce interference during selective retrieval another mechanism comes into play, namely inhibition of related, competing memories. This inhibition is believed t

Problem: Under de senaste 50 åren har människan konsumerat mer än alla generationer tillsammans. En motreaktion har utvecklats mot det stereotypa ”du är vad du konsumerar eller äger”, vilket benämns som the sharing economy. Grundtanken är att dela på sina resurser för att använda dessa fullt ut. Fenomenet är relativt nytt, men har under de senaste åren haft stor inverkan på resenärers förändrade b

Abstract Denna uppsats fokuserar på Gustaf Wingrens lära om kallelsen vilken har sin grund i Wingrens avhandling Luthers lära om kallelsen från 1942. Det är ett textstudium där den övergripande frågeställnigen handlar om Wingrens syn på Guds handlande med människan i den yttre ordningen och i det inre samvetet. Det jag kommer fram till är på vilket sätt Guds rike, det jordiska och himmelska riket,

This Bachelor thesis is assigned to interpret and visualize the degree of contamination and degradation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH) in relationship with groundwater chemistry and signals from geophysical surveys. The relationships between pollutant, chemistry data and geophysical surveys were tested through linear regression. By using the Swedish National Food Agency limits for dri

Title: ABILITY > KNOWLEDGE - Can Learning Organizational Qualities be trained in the school system through Supplemental Instruction, and if so, how early? Issue of Thesis: The acceleration of the amount of knowledge that an organization in the 21st century needs to process is growing with exponential numbers. In order to survive, the organizations need to transform themselves into Learning Organi

The waste treatment facility, Sobacken, is located south of Borås, Sweden. At Sobacken there is a lake built to collect the leachate from the area. Leachate is a term for water that has the potential of carrying environmentally hazardous substances, in this case water that might have passed through waste. This thesis focused on the development of a hydrological model that from common climate vari

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats i pedagogik har varit att undersöka vilken betydelse mellanmänsklig kommunikation har för organisationer och verksamheter. Uppsatsens utgångspunkt hamnar varken i traditionell arbetslivspedagogik eller organisationslärande. Dessa två inriktningar är en del av uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter men även pedagogisk retorik och relationell pedagogik används för att

This thesis examines the emerging scene of ensemble playing in Swedish traditional music from the beginning of the 1980s until present day. It is focused around eight interviews with some of the most influential musicians on the scene. All of them are still active today both as performers and teachers. The theoretical framework is mainly based around two different standpoints; Narrative analysis a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vart tog alla humlorna vägen? När såg du senast en humla? Har du en känsla av att du egentligen borde ha sett dem oftare? Det kan finnas en fullkomligt naturlig förklaring till den här känslan: humlorna minskar i antal och håller långsamt på att försvinna. Jag vill undersöka om detta verkligen håller på att hända. Riskerar vi att få leva i en framtid helt utaAbstract Bumble bees pollinate a wide range of crops; many of them being of importance to the global economy. It is believed that pollinators, including bumble bees, are declining due to habitat loss and transformation of high quality habitats into low quality habitats; a phenomenon often associated with modern agricultural practices. Some sources, however, claim that not all bumble bee species a

This study examines the work with the environmental goals in five small municipalities in northwestern Skåne, Sweden. The environmental goals are set nationally and are adjusted at a regional level. The municipalities then adjust the national and regional goals in varied extent to meet the local circumstances. The implementation and success of the work with environmental goals at local level is cr

The working environment on top of an 80 - 120 meters high horizontal-axis wind turbine isn’t like an average working environment. The high wind speeds, the slippery rain, the limited mobility and the pure height makes it a very dangerous and difficult place to work at. To make sure the service team can feel safe and at ease while working outside on the top of a wind turbine, all the equipment use

Den digitala utvecklingen har skapat nya förutsättningar för hur individer och or-ganisationer kan interagera, där ett exempel är samskapande (eng. co-creation). Syftet med studien är att undersöka de drivkrafter och känslor som ligger bakom individens beslut till att delta i den specifika samskapandeformen rotation curation tillsammans med organisationer och hur detta skapar mening för individen.The digital evolution has created new ways for individuals and organizations to interact of which one example is co-creation. The purpose of this study is to exa-mine which motives and emotions that underlie an individual’s decision to parti-cipate in the specific form of co-creation called rotation curation together with an an organization and how this creates meaning for the individual. Further,
