The present meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests. The meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17226). Taken as a whole, the relation between CSE and creativity meThis meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests.

X-Ray absorption edge and EXAFS spectra of the solvated cations of platinum(II) in water, dimethyl sulfoxide and acetonitrile and of palladium(II) in dimethyl sulfoxide have been recorded and analyzed. The cations are four-coordinated. Pt-O in Pt(H2O)4(2+) is 2.01(1) angstrom and Pt-N in Pt(CH3CN)4(2+) is 2.00(1) angstrom. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvated cations of both platinum and palladium contX-Ray absorption edge and EXAFS spectra of the solvated cations of platinum(II) in water, dimethyl sulfoxide and acetonitrile and of palladium(II) in dimethyl sulfoxide have been recorded and analyzed.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax. In this article, we study the effects of a carbon tax in agriculture on GHG emissions by simulating five polReducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets.

We study the effects of two dimensions of teacher quality, subject knowledge and didactic skills, on student learning in francophone Sub-Saharan Africa. We use data from an international large- scale assessment in 14 countries that include individual-level information on student achievement and country-level measures of teacher subject knowledge and didactic skills in reading and math.

As climate ambitions have increased, questions regarding the sustainabilityof transport systems have been placed on the transport innovation agenda. Yet the relationship between economic competitiveness and sustainability agendas in national innovation policy is an uneven one.

The Nordic countries have been described as generous front-runners in their development assistance, making observers suggest the existence of a ‘Nordic Model’. They have been claimed to play a leadership role in a European and global context. Recently, however, this characterisation has been challenged due to changes in Nordic policies and in the external environment.

How Do We Treat the Super-Elderly with Distal Radius Fractures and What is the Outcome? A Register Study in 239 Patients of 80 years or olderLinnea Sara Arvidsson, MD; Ellen Lööf, Bachelor of Medicine; Antonio Abramo, PhD; Magnus Tägil, PhDLund University, Lund, SwedenIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. BasiIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. Basic knowledge of outcome after fracture in this heterogenic group is absent. Our aim was to use our prospective distal radius fracture register to study the super-elderly patients with distal radius fractures. We hypothesized that the health status of the patient, rather

There are many measures that need to be taken in order to ensure a development that is sustainable. One of them is to educate for a sustainable development and increase the scientific literacy among students. This can create the requisites that are needed in order for students to become active citizens, who make informed decisions that promote a sustainable development in their everyday life. Acco

With the number of digital display advertisements increasing, consumers have become accustomed to ignoring or skipping internet ads. Previous research has investigated the use of different types of human images (like celebrities and social media influencers) in advertising to improve advertising effectiveness. However, existing studies neglect the role of normal people and examine the presence of

During the last decades there has been an increase of the housing segregation in Sweden. According to research this is mainly due to greater economic inequality and increased immigration. In Sweden there are a number of neighbourhoods with low socioeconomic standards that are mostly inhabited by immigrants, in these areas women are a particularly vulnerable group. Research states that learning the

Prominent research of creativity and affect has historically illuminated the relationship between positive affect and creativity, whereas little is known about the effects- influence of negative affect on creativity. The present study aimed to investigate how negative affect influenced creativity by using a divergent and convergent creativity task. A sample of 54 participants was recruited and ran

Politics should be constituted by social representativeness in order to be conceptualised as democratic and legitimate. The set of politicians ought to be diverse and heterogeneous with the aim to include a wide spectrum of interest and concerns. The debate about women lacking power in politics was raised in the seventies. The political parties acted in response to the debate by implementing diffe

The Nigerian jihadist-terrorist movement Boko Haram reached international notoriety especially after the bombing of an UN-headquarters in Abuja in 2011 and after the kidnappings of 276 schoolgirls in 2014. But these events are minor parts of rapid evolutionary ideological developments and expansion. In 2009 Boko Haram´s leader, Mohammad Yusuf, was killed by Nigerian forces and the movement was con

African cooperatives are in the process to adapt to a liberalised economy where they are expected to function as independent business entities. So is also the case in Uganda where the competition on the free market puts pressure on cooperative performance. This thesis asks the question why some cooperatives fail in this context while others succeed and tries to find the answer in the organisationa

In order to attain an understanding of the emerging of a collective foreign policy in Europe, the thesis sheds light over the Arab-Israeli conflict and how the interlocked crises of the 1970s in the Middle East affected the evolving of a European common position in the region. The study is based on realist assumptions and uses the theory about states cooperating as a strategy of balancing global

Title: The managing of students' differences in music education - Music teachers’ stories of how they adapt the music-teaching to individuals. The curriculum of the Swedish school express that the education should be adapted to each individual’s own conditions and needs. As a music teacher, it is common to have large classes’ small areas to use and pupils with different conditions and needs. T

For the first time, this book presents the complete collection of Greek inscriptions of Gebel el-Silsila East – Ancient Egypt’s largest and most important sandstone quarry, including lists of names and professions of individuals involved in the quarry expeditions. The inscriptions are described, illustrated and analysed and placed within their archaeological context based on careful documentation
