Catalonia is a nation with it's own language, its own culture, own policy and own history it is said. A non-independent nation that is living it's ordinary life flagging its banal symbols as if it al ready was an independent state. Some catalanistas assert that this kind of weirdness could be the death row for Catalonia and its future as in independent nation of its own. They state that it

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Canadian government’s stance on addressing the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and to perform an analysis of ongoing violence and asymmetric conflict in Indigenous-Government of Canada relations. The Canadian government’s approach in regards to holding a national inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada w

This study investigates how regionalism and regional identity is perceived and promoted in the Oresund region including a specific focus on Malmö, particularly from the perspective of the Oresund committee as an actor. The relevance of this focus is sanctioned by reported growth of regionalism in the Oresund region, and the sparse amount of research in whether organizations and their work could be

The morphology and molecular mechanisms of animal photoreceptor cells and eyes reveal a complex pattern of duplications and co-option of genetic modules, leading to a number of different light-sensitive systems that share many components, in which clear-cut homologies are rare. On the basis of molecular and morphological findings, I discuss the functional requirements for vision and how these have

Viewing information systems (IS) as services is beneficial but still an unexplored approach for IS in organizations. The aim of this exercise is to contribute to the knowledge base on designing IS as services. This paper presents an analysis of enterprise resource planning (ERPs) systems through the lens of service oriented architecture (SOA). Services are explained and defined through SOA theory.

Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been reported to be targeted to the Golgi complex via their C1 domains. We have shown recently that the regulatory domain of PKCtheta induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells and that this effect is correlated to Golgi localization via the C1b domain. This study was designed to identify specific residues in the C1 domains that mediate Golgi localization. We dem

Retinitis pigmentosa is a blinding disease in which unknown mechanisms cause the degeneration of retinal photoreceptors. The retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse is a relevant model for this condition, since it carries a mutation also found in some forms of retinitis pigmentosa. To understand the degenerative process in the rd1 mouse, we must identify the survival and apoptosis-related signaling pathw

To explore interactions between climate and peatland hydrology, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing at four raised bogs in southern Sweden were subject to a dendroclimatological study. Radial tree growth reflecting climate and water table fluctuations over multiannual periods was detected as significant negative correlations between tree-ring width (TRW) chronologies and the preceding one to

Elater ferrugineus is a saproxylic click beetle inhabiting old deciduous trees in Europe. It is threatened throughout its area of distribution due to habitat loss. No efficient monitoring method has been available for this species, but observed attraction of females to (R)-(+)-γ-decalactone, which is a male-produced sex pheromone of its prey, the scarab beetle Osmoderma eremita, has led to the dev

Internet-delivered psychological treatment of major depression has been investigated in several trials, but the role of personalized treatment is less investigated. Studies suggest that guidance is important and that automated computerized programmes without therapist support are less effective. Individualized e-mail therapy for depression has not been studied in a controlled trial. Eighty-eight i

Objectives: The first consensus report presented by the European Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group (EGCCCG) in the year 2004 has found widespread approval by many colleagues throughout the world. In November 2006, the group met a second time under the auspices of the Department of Urology of the Amsterdam Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Methods: Medical oncologists, urological surgeons,

Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices play a huge role in our lives today, and this constant connectivity will continue to grow. As these products are becoming an increasingly more important part of our homes, it is interesting to explore the design of them. This thought of interest led to a collaboration with Minut AB and the development of their product called Point. In order for th

Den här studien undersöker huruvida Attityder, Tidigare erfarenheter, Bekväm med förändring, Deltagande i kulturella aktiviteter, Moral, Fri vilja och Altruism kan predicera väljarbeteende i form av Grad av liberal. Det är en kvantitativ studie med ett urval bestående av 144 studenter i Lund. Data samlades in genom en elektronisk enkät som bestod av tre skalor; Personal Beliefs Scale (PBS), AttituThe current study aims to investigate the predictive power of Attitudes, Past experiences, Comfort with differences, Participation in cultural activities, Moral, Free will and Altruism on voting behavior formulated as Degree of liberal. The study is a quantitative one with a sample of 144 Swedish students in Lund. Data was collected via an internet survey consisting of three scales: Personal Belie

Syftet med uppsatsen var att identifiera förväntningar på ledarskap samt skapa en bild av hur chefer och medarbetares uppfattning förhåller sig till varandra. Metoden som användes var en kvantitativ forskningsmetod där en undersökningen utformades efter semantisk differentialskala. Deltagarna var 45 anställda från fyra olika team. En chef från varje team och cirka lika många deltagare från respektThe purpose of this thesis was to identify the manager’s and employees’ perception of leadership, and how they compare to each other. The thesis applied a quantitative research approach where a survey based on a semantic differential scale was used. Fortyfive people participated, employees from four different teams and their respective manager. The result showed that employees expected leadership

Abstract: The severity of the crisis in the Southern Eurozone countries is frequently attributed to inflated economies and reckless spending. Thus, it isn’t surprising that the main interpretation is that the crisis ought to be solved by decreasing government spending and lowering wages. This paper argues, instead, that one of the core underlying reasons for the severity of the crisis in the South

The use of InP nanowires solar cells as a platform for the third generation concept of spectral conversion has been explored by embedding the Coumarin 120 dye between the nanowires of the solar cells. The InP solar cells have been characterised by measuring the external quantum efficiency, EQE, and the current voltage, JV, curve. For the EQE measurement an imaging system was constructed to constra

Den här studien handlar om körsång och dess potentiella påverkan på människor. Syftet är att ta reda på om – och hur körsångarna i Sinnesrokören upplever att körsången påverkar dem och vilka faktorer det är som gör att de i sådana fall påverkas. Körledarens drivkrafter och mål och hur dessa visar sig i praktiken undersöks också. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och metoderna som använts är intervjThis study is about choir singing and its potential influence on people. The purpose is to find out if - and how the singers in the Serenitychoir experience that the choir singing affects them, and what factors matter when it comes to forming the experience. The choir conductor’s intentions and goals and how are transformed into practice are also investigated. The study has a qualitative approach

Public libraries are not warehouses for books but education supporters, social justice and inclusion promoters and socialising providers by virtue of their comprehensive and well-organised media resources and the space of library buildings. Based on the social impacts mentioned above, public libraries play a significant role in social integration and cohesion, which is one of their responsibilitie
