Many premature deaths and health problems could be prevented by adhering to a healthy diet, however, many people lack the self-regulation needed for maintaining healthy behaviors. Goal-conflicting situations (i.e., when a person needs to decide between one of two conflicting goals) are an obstacle for self-regulation, while coping planning is found to be useful in these situations since it entails

Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the

Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon

As a reaction to our current fast living and increasingly individualistic society, the focus on presence and need for human interaction is rising. With inspiration from Marina Abramovic’s performance work “The artist is present” at MoMa in New York, this project has been focusing on how to create a setting which enhances the interaction between two people. During this project, the aspect of inter

A Family Office (FO) is a privately held investment entity that manages the wealth for one or more families. While contemporary research on the investment sector is plentiful, the FO sector has been largely neglected. This paper examines the role of active ownership in Swedish FOs through a qualitative study. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and written responses from executives in eight Swed

Stratagems adopted by democratic leaders to try to insinuate, or anchor, a preferred course of action into the larger collective will have a variety of repercussions. Beyond the apparent success of the venture itself, the long-term integrity of the democratic fabric may be at stake if simmering rancour and discontent is left unheeded. These questions would seem particularly pertinent when studyi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna uppsats behandlar de senkvartära avlagringarna i Örsjö grustäkt, belägen ca. 2 km öster om samhället Skurup i södra Skånes så kallade backlandskap. Detta karaktäriseras av ett småkulligt landskap med slutna depressioner. Avlagringarna i Örsjötäkten delas in i tre huvudenheter. Första avlagringen ovan kalkberggrunden består av en morän (osorterad jordart avThe late quaternary deposits at Örsjö, 2 km east of the village Skurup, south Skåne consist of three main units. Direct above the bedrock there is a diamicton correlated to Allarp till according to Lagerlund (1980). The seeond unit, the so called Örsjöbeds, consist of up to 40 meter sorted sediments in general coarsening upwards. The unit is described as a Sandur deposit by earlier workers (Lindbe

As a consumer-driven trend, Bring your own device (BYOD) imposes many changes on an already challenged relationship between the IT organization and the business organization. For this reason, it is important to map this influence. The purpose of this research was therefore to determine the effect of BYOD on the IT-business relationship. This was done by deriving factors from literature that affect

En bergartsmagnetisk studie har utförts på en guldmineralisering som är belägen vid Åkerberg, 30 km Nordöst om Boliden, i norra Sverige. Mineraliseringen är bunden till en zon av subparallella kvartsgångar i en magmatiskt lagrad gabbro. Markbundna totalfältsmätningar av magnetismen visar en negativ anomali över malmzonen. I detta arbete har de magnetiska egenskaperna av området kring malmen, samt A rock magnetic study has been preformed of the Åkerberg gold deposit, located 30 km NE of Boliden in northern Sweden. The gold mineralization is located to a zone of subparallel quartz veins in a layered gabbro. Ground surveys show a lowering of the magnetic properties at the ore zone. This thesis addresses the factors causing the anomaly by investigating the magnetic properties of different part

I den här uppsatsen undersöker vi vilka utmaningar sju svenska kommuner har stött på i sitt arbete med sociala medier. Genom intervjuer med tolv personer som arbetar med information och kommunikation i sina respektive kommuner har det framkommit ett antal utmaningar som har analyserats genom ett neoinstitutionellt perspektiv. Neoinstitutionalismen förklarar hur organisationer agerar för att anses In this thesis we will analyse the challenges that seven Swedish municipalities face while working with social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Based on neoinstitutional theory we try to find explanations to why these challenges exist, increasing organizations awareness of in what way and to which extent they are affected by the expectations from the surrounding world. Twelve persons in seve

Gwadar port is a deep-sea port that lies at the southwestern coast of the Balochistan province. Since 2002, it has been given quite some attention; the government realized its potential of becoming a major hub port of the region, given its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, a sea passage through which a fifth of the world’s oil transit occurs. MOUs have been signed and commitments made in excess o

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Grässjön ligger på kommungränsen mellan Osby och Östra Göinge, och har varit utsatt för stora förändringar på 18- och 1900-talen, bl. a. sänkningsprojekt och ändrade flöden. Sjön ingår i Tommaboda/Ekeshultsån, som är en del av Skräbeåns avrinningssystem - en av de åar som rinner ut i Hanöbukten. Grässjön var före 1909 en del av den tills då mycket större VielånThere are records of lowering of the water level in a lot of the Swedish lakes from the middle of the 1700th century. The aim was gaining more areable land to meet the needs of more food to support the expanding population. In areas with top soil which contents of clay or loam as in the southwest of Scania in southern Sweden this was proven to be a successful way expanding the total outcome of the

This thesis discusses the concept of alcohol provider liability. This more recent form of liability has become a popular tool when dealing with alcohol related accidents and aims to make alcohol providers, whether of commercial or private nature, liable for irresponsible service to their patrons or guests. Such liability, in its present form, is regulated either by statute or by common law princip
