Alkanes offer great and barely utilised potential for usage as raw materials in large-scale chemical processes. Their lack of reactivity, however, warrants methods of manipulating and transforming them in an efficient and mild way, which can potentially be realised by employing homogeneous catalysis using pincer complexes. A reliable procedure for the synthesis and diastereomer-separation of 2-met
Studiens syfte var att undersöka en eventuell diskrepans i självskattningar rörande personlighet och beteende och social önskvärdhets förklaring på diskrepansens förekomst. Tidigare forskning på ämnet tenderar att fokusera på kamratskattningar för att sedan jämföra dessa med individens egen skattning för således komma till en konklusion om individens faktiska personlighet. I vår studie valde vi atThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the possible discrepancy in self-reported personality and behaviour along with exploring which factors might affect the occurrence of the discrepancy. Previous research on the matter tends to focus on peer reports of the individual which is then compared with the individual’s own report in order to reach a conclusion about what personality traits the indiv
A simpler version of a shock-testing machine was developed and built. This allows engineers at Verisure to test prototypes and early versions of new products before the product is certified. An independent company shock tests the product as part of the process to certify it as an approved home alarm security product.

The increase of shrub extent in arid and semi-arid environments is reducing the species richness all over the globe. This process of shrub encroachment was found to result from changes in anthropogenic land use, especially from too high or too low grazing intensity. The Great Alvar on the island Öland, Sweden, is a unique grassland ecosystem with a high species richness. Changes in land use patte

Two Swedish authorities have been commissioned by the government to develop a new national str
The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
Previous studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory formation have been limited because the design of experiments tended to restrict natural viewing behavior, and thus they overlooked the role of eye movements in memory formation. The goal of the present study is to offer new insights into understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory formation in naturalistic viewing at the leve
Tidigare forskning om traumabehandling har framför allt undersökt verksamma behandlingsmetoder kvantitativt. Den här studiens syfte var därför att kvalitativt undersöka vad psykologer upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling av personer med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Intervjuer genomfördes med tio legitimerade psykologer som har klinisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med traumabehandling. En
Managing work and other responsibilities while being efficient and open to work changes has become increasingly difficult for employees. There is even more pressure on social workers, or more specifically, mental health workers given the nature of their job which not only includes working with clients but also making the decision to reject some individuals due to a packed schedule.
