Svenska gymnasieskolan har under de senaste decennierna genomgått ett antal reformer som har gjort det lättare för friskolor att etablera sig samt givit elever möjlighet att fritt välja och byta skola. Detta, kombinerat med en minskning av antalet gymnasieelever, har lett till en konkurrenssituation där skolorna måste marknadsföra sig för att vinna elever. Skolan har under de senaste decennierna bThe Swedish upper secondary school has undergone a number of reforms during previous decades which have made it easier for private schools to establish, give students the possibility to choose school, and switch from one school to another. These reforms, combined with a decline in student numbers, have led to a competition in which the schools have to market themselves to win students. The Swedish

Impaktiter är bergarter som har bildats av ett eller flera meteoritnedslag och delas in i tre grupper: chockad berggrund, nedslagsbreccior och nedslagssmältor. Den här studien strävar efter att redogöra för de olika typer av impaktiter som finns beskrivna från jorden, och att beskriva tidigare ostuderade prover av impaktiter från nedslagsstrukturen Mien i Småland, Sverige. Proverna kallas: MIE15_0This study aims to describe the different types of impactites that are present on Earth and to characterize previously undescribed samples of impactites from Mien, an impact structure located in southern Sweden. Impactites are rocks that are generated from one or several meteoric impacts and they are divided into three groups; shocked rocks, impact breccias and impact melts. The impactites that ar

The purpose with this thesis is to give the reader a holistic view of the 3D-print technology and how it can come to use in the construction industry. The purpose is also to spread knowledge about the technology. During the evaluation of the technology examines four aspects that an innovation needs to establish on the market, the aspects are: geographical resources, economical, law and social impa

This paper focuses on the effect of Bilateral Investment Treaties and Preferential Trade and Investment Agreements on outwards FDI stocks of developed countries (proxied by OECD countries) in one another in the period of 1985-2013. Estimations are obtained with use of the gravity equation in a large panel based on OECD FDI positions data, where the “knowledge-and-physical-capital model” of interna

Adverbial uppträder, i modern svenska, i huvudsak i två positioner i satsen: postverbalt (sist i satsen) eller medialt (före det finita verbet i bisatser och efter det finita verbet men före ex. infinita verb i huvudsatser). VP-adverbial sägs ha sin naturliga position postverbalt, men de kan också placeras medialt. Denna uppsats undersöker faktorer som inverkar på placeringen av VP-adverbial i modIn Swedish, adverbials mainly occur in two positions in the clause: postverbally (last in the clause) or medially (before the finite verb in subordinate clauses and after the finite verb but before e.g. infinite verbs in main clauses). VP adverbials are said to have their natural position postverbally, but they can also be placed medially. This thesis examines factors that influence the placement

Miljöproblemen vet inga gränser och påverkar hela mänskligheten kollektivt. Historiskt har dock tillgången till rättslig prövning i svensk rätt kretsat kring individuella intressen. Århuskonventionen, som både Sverige och EU sedan år 2005 är parter till, introducerar en bindande mekanism där miljöorganisationer ges rätt att företräda det kollektiva intresset genom att väcka talan mot myndighetsåtgEnvironmental challenges know no borders and collectively impact all of humanity. Historically, access to judicial review in Swedish law has centered around individual interests. The Aarhus Convention, to which both Sweden and the EU have been parties since 2005, introduces a binding mechanism granting environmental organizations the right to represent collective interests by initiating lawsuits a

In biological observation of small flying animals, structured light methods can be used in order to make high frequency, no contact measurements in flight. Using a laser pointer that projects a 5625 point mesh pattern, as well as two high-speed cameras, three different methods for estimating the shape of 3D objects have been developed and evaluated. The cameras were calibrated, as well as the lase

Denna studie undersöker effekterna av social önskvärdhet på emotionell intelligens och dess implikationer för samband och prediktioner i relation till personlighetsfaktorerna i Big Five. Då båda konstrukten ofta uppskattas genom självskattningstest mottagliga för påverkan av social önskvärdhet, ämnar denna studie att undersöka huruvida mätinstrumenten för emotionell intelligens, TEIQue-SF och delaThis study investigates the effects of social desirability on emotional intelligence and its implications for the relationships and predictions regarding Big Five personality factors. Since both constructs are often estimated through self-report measures susceptible to social desirability, this research aimed to examine whether the TEIQue-SF and parts of the SSREIT measures of emotional intelligen

The climate crisis in one of the major challenges of our time. The role of trade in this context is a contested issue, both good and bad effects are plausible. One important question in this context is whether it is possible to increase the chance that trade does not have a negative impact on the environment by including environmental provisions in trade agreements. While this might be possible, i

Matsvinnet ökar globalt, även i Sverige. Åtgärder för att förhindra detta diskuteras både hos FN och i den svenska regeringen och mål har därför satts upp för att minska detta. Nu finns det dessutom företag som går in med affärsidén att minska på matsvinnet genom att ta tillvara på råvaror som på grund av exempelvis fel storlek eller missformning sorterats bort och därmed egentligen skulle blivit Food waste is becoming a bigger problem globally, but even in Sweden. Actions to prevent this are being discussed both by UN but also in the Swedish government and goals for the future has because of that been set. Many new companies have started their business with the idea to take care of the food waste by using the raw material that because of the size or shape has been sorted out. These raw ma

The course of this thesis takes its starting point from a question inspired by the work of architect and artist Allan Wexler; How can one create a building that emanates from one’s subconscious? Wexler states that he aims to create buildings in the same manner as a potter throws a pot on a wheel, without hesitation, in a kind of stream of consciousness fashion. The question about the subconscious

This thesis examines the conditions under which the triangular simplification mechanism under Article 141 of the VAT Directive may apply to quadrangular chain transactions involving four taxable persons established or identified for VAT purposes across multiple Member States. The triangular simplification mechanism relieves the intermediary operator in a three-party chain transaction from register

During the last decades, new types of alternative interventions in social work to improve people's well-being have been discovered. A type of nature-based therapy that is on the uprise internationally but not in Sweden yet is surf therapy. This study aims to understand how surf therapy, in social work, can be experienced to create meaning and change in people based on experiences of the therap

Online gambling as a field has created a variety of legal challenges in the EU. One of the challenges is the application of VAT on online gambling services. The topics which have been concerning EU Member States in relation to VAT and online gambling are the scope of electronically supplied services in relation to online gambling, the taxable amount of online gambling, and the correct implementati

T cell fate following antigen encounter is determined by several intracellular signals generated by the interaction of the T cell with an antigen-presenting cell. In the periphery activation requires T cell receptor signaling (signal one) in combination with costimulatory signals (signal two), usually provided through the cognate interaction of CD28 and B7 molecules. Provision of signal one alone

This paper presents measurements of top-antitop quark pair (tt¯) production in association with additional b-jets. The analysis utilises 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Fiducial cross-sections are extracted in a final state featuring one electron and one muon, with at least three or four b

Vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccination attitudes are becoming increasingly problematic in several Western countries where diseases that were nearly extinct are coming back. We here explore the role of perceived social support in understanding anti-vaccination attitudes. We argue that perceptions about having social support for one′s position may influence anti-vaccination attitudes among some soci

Background: Over recent decades, school choice (the process by which parents select a school of their choosing for the child/children) has become a key component of education policy pursued in many countries, and a critical decision for many parents. While global scholarship has broadened understanding of how families engage with and experience school choice, less is known about how this choice op

More specifically the aim was to see how gender is presented in the children’s books and to focus on who in the books that shows emotions. The study researches this by analyzing to whom the grief belongs to, what gender it is that shows emotions the most, if men a

Det finns många svårigheter med att tillverka livsmedelsprodukter som är emulsioner. Syftet med detta projekt var att utveckla en emulsion enligt krav som beställaren av produkten hade satt upp. En första utveckling av produkten skedde ungefär ett år tidigare, och den fortsatta utvecklingen baserades alltså på denna produkt. Det som hade blivit ett problem med den första utvecklade produkten var aIt is a difficult process to create a drinkable food product that is an emulsion. The aim with this project was to create one, containing ingredients on levels described by a customer. A product had been developed before, but resulted in a product that had viscosity that was too high, and the aim with this further development project was to keep the levels of the ingredients on a level according t
