This meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17.226), about the relation between self-efficacy beliefs and creativity. Taken as a whole, the relation between those two constructs, assuming a random-effects model, is with r = .39 of medium size, as was proposed. Further subgroup analyses revealed a pattern of self-rated creativity measures (r = .53) those which use ite
The present research aims at finding the underlying factors that contributed to the recently observed disappearance of economic shrinking in Ethiopia, defined as negative rates of GDP per capita growth. Within the framework of the Theory of Shrinking (Broadberry & Wallis, 2017) it sheds light on structural, technological and demographic change, the occurrence of warfare as well as institutiona
When producing printed circuit boards, end of line testing needs to be done to assure that as few faulty products as possible reach the customer. This can be done manually, but takes long time. By using a Functional Test fixture (FCT-fixture) it is possible to do the test faster and at a lower cost. A FCT-fixture is a fixture with a lid where the printed circuit board is placed. When the lid is cl
I den här masteruppsatsen undersöktes geokemin i kalkskalen av bottenlevande foraminiferer från Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (Bälthavet) och Obrzynowo (Egentliga Östersjön), för att rekonstruera de hydrografiska förhållanden i Östersjön och paleomiljön under den senaste interglacialen (130 - 115 ka BP). De variabler som analyserades innefattade Mg/Ca, Ba/Ca och Mn/Ca samt stabila syre- och kolisotoIn this thesis, three microfossil records from Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (the Danish straits) and Obrzynowo (the southern Baltic- coast) representing the last interglacial Eemian (130- 115 ka B.P) were generated. The geochemistry of benthic foraminifera was investigated to reconstruct the Eemian Baltic Sea hydrography and paleoenvironment. The paleo-environmental proxies were: the trace elements
In the last decades Peru, one of the top performing countries in Latin America, experienced a dramatic reduction in poverty. The set of structural reforms implemented by Peru during the mid-90s included trade liberalisation which implied a drastic reduction of tariffs on highly protected sectors, and particularly, in agriculture where most poor Peruvians work, and Free Trade Agreements. How relati
During the years of the so-called refugee crisis, migrants lacking access to housing in Greece have squatted buildings or resided in makeshift settlements. Those homes have been met with state violence and continuous evictions. Those evictions are a form of migration control in the context of an ongoing disciplinary ‘management’ of migrant populations and their mobility in Europe and Greece. The t
Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. Furthermore, precipitation drives Surface Mass Balance (SMB), which is the sum of accumulation and the
Skydd för kulturarv under internationell rätt introducerades i internationella konventioner i början på 1900-talet. Ursprungligen behandlades ämnet uteslutande i förhållande till regler gällande väpnad konflikt. Frågor om kulturarv har traditionellt sett tillhört den nationella jurisdiktionen men framväxandet av idén om ’världsarv’, kulturarv som på grund sitt värde tillhör alla folk och nationer,The protection of cultural heritage first appeared in international conventions at the beginning of the 20th century. At the time, protection was only awarded in the event of an armed conflict. Traditionally, questions of heritage and its eventual destruction belonged within the national jurisdiction but the emerge of internationalist ideas of a ‘common heritage of mankind’ changed the perception.
Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka hur ICJ influerar internationell rätt som legal normsättare till det internationella samfundet. Frågeställningen var: hur konceptualiseras idén om ICJ och dess värde för det internationella samfundet av FN:s generalförsamling och domarna som dömde i samband med kärnvapensrådgivningen? Primärmaterialet utgjordes av valda sektioner i de åtta resolutionerna från FN:
Bergslagens malmprovins är känd för att innehålla stora Zn-Pb-Ag- och Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-sulfidförekomster med tillhörande järnoxidskarn och många studier har fokuserat på att förstå dessa förekomster. Cu-Co-förekomster som Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten har emellertid fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten är en disseminerad och åderstödd Cu-Co-mineralisering som förekommer i en 1,89 Ga ryoliThe Bergslagen Province is known for containing major Zn-Pb-Ag and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulphide mineralizations with associated iron-oxide skarns and a lot of research have focused on understanding them. However, Cu-Co deposits like the Vena-Dampetorp deposit have received less attention. The Vena-Dampetorp deposit is a disseminated and vein Cu-Co mineralization hosted primarily in a 1.89 Ga rhyolitic to

After the success of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, China chose to deepen the opening of the stock market further and launched the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect on December 5, 2016. This paper examines the market liberalization between China and Hong Kong stock markets and the price discovery progress for cross-listed stocks in the two markets before and after the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Co
Den här avhandlingen ger en förståelse och överblick av möjligheterna och utmaningarna för en hållbar användning av individuella polybags i detaljhandeln. Detta genomfördes genom en kvalitativ analys som inkluderade litteraturstudier, semi-strukturerade intervjuer och e-mejl korrespondens. Ett material som används vanligtvis för individuella polybags är fossil-baserad LDPE plast och denna förpacknThis thesis provides an understanding and overview of the opportunities and challenges to enable a sustainable use of individual polybags used in the retail-industry. This was done by conducting a qualitative analysis including literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and e-mail correspondence. A common material choice for individual polybags is the fossil-based LDPE plastic and this packagi
Problem Description: Entering a new business segment introduces numerous challenges for a high-tech company. New product development processes, even when well-managed, have a high expected failure rate and commercialisation is costly. High-tech markets are volatile, fast-moving and uncertain with a short window of opportunity for introducing and establishing new products. Strategy research does no
China experienced a growing economy with a huge market and business potential and became the second biggest country in terms of GDP. However, because of the limitation of coherent business laws and government supervision, entering the Chinese market became a severe and complicated problem for different kinds of firms. Empirical papers show that networks, called guanxi in China make a primary contr
This thesis investigates the possibilities for setups measuring how the surface structure of nanowires (NWs) influences their electric properties. For this the abilities to clean surfaces and detect nanowires (NWs) are examined, and an attempt to build a setup is made. Compared to the size of NWs and surface area measured in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), an “infinite” surface of GaAs/AlGaAs
The major objective of this thesis is to explore (self-)perceptions and assessments of manufacturers and employees within the realms of sustainable consumption. In order to investigate what people themselves believe to know and perceive to be sustainable, a field research was carried out among participants within the German sustainability platform Heldenmarkt by making use of participant observati
In this master’s thesis I have studied the 7th section of the 2nd chapter in the Swedish environmental code (miljöbalken 1998:808). The regulation encompasses the proportionality principle of environmental consideration. Its purpose is to avoid that costly countermeasures are imposed that have limited or no negative impact on the environment. The proportionality principle in the environmental code
Brownification is an increasing problem in the Northern Hemisphere. In the south of Sweden, the Kristianstads commune, its Vattensriket biosphere, and the local farmers and fishermen are particularly affected by the brownification of their main river, the Helge Å. The iron concentration and the concentration of dissolved organic matter have increased by 284% and 118%, respectively, in 40 years. Fu
