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

We are daily moving in different landscapes for various reasons; sometimes we are looking for specific activities and sometimes just to move from one place to another. Common for this is the affect the landscape can have on us and how it gives us different experiences. In this essay I seek answers to what is important for people when they visit the nature for recreational purposes. What factors do

A growing research field shows that climate mitigation measures can entail numerous co-benefits for other policy areas, including improved air quality, enhanced energy security and reduced maintenance costs. One possible strategy for enhancing climate action can be to emphasize these co-benefits. However, research has shown that co-benefits are seldom included when climate mitigation measures are

I och med Covid-19-pandemin fick alla gymnasieskolor i Sverige övergå till distansundervisning, vilket ledde till nya utmaningar för både lärare och elever. Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om elevers perspektiv på ensembleundervisningen på distans. Studien kommer undersöka vilka undervisningsmetoder skånska elever redogör att de har haft samt hur elevernas motivation har påverkats tilDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, all Swedish high schools had to shift their education to distance learning, which led to new challenges for both teachers and students.

This thesis investigates how the distinction between science and pseudoscience is mediated on Wikipedia as a proxy for how this is communicated to the general public overall. Currently one of the most visited places on the web, Wikipedia is increasingly considered trustworthy, although relatively little is known about its sources. The theoretical framework of the study is built around the notion o

I Alternativa övningsmetoder för musiker – del 1 presenteras olika sätt på vilka musikaliska färdigheter kan övas genom mentalisering och andra alternativa övningsmetoder som inte inkluderar användande av musikernas huvudinstrument. Den visar också hur dessa metoder kan kombineras. Här beskrivs även hur och varför dessa arbetssätt fungerar för musikalisk instudering individuellt och i en duo samt Alternative Methods of Practising Music – A study of practising without one’s main instrument for single musicians and small ensembles – Part 1 presents different ways in which musical skills can be practised through imagery and other alternative methods of practising that do not involve the use of the musicians’ main instruments. It also shows how these methods may be combined. Furthermore, it de

III-Sb semiconductor nanowires have drawn a lot of attention because of their many promising applications, such as thermoelectric generation, low power high efficient electronics and quantum transport. Gold as a catalyst seed particle has been dominating for many years assisting nanowires growth. However, gold is incompatible with silicon-based electronics, which is dominating today. Therefore, fi

Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

The World Bank is a key actor within development, continuously funding projects on women’s empowerment in countries world-wide; Liberia being one of them. Women and girls have been particularly affected by previous conflicts in Liberia, strongly impinging on their participation in the labor market still today (UN Women 2014). Research shows that one of the foremost issues for women today is the fa

Global pollinator populations are declining. One of the causes is land use change, which results in reduced flower resources in the landscape. Bumblebees have small stores of nectar and pollen and are therefore vulnerable to loss of flower resources. I test if forbs plantings, which enhance forage resources, can support colony development and reproductive success of bumblebee colonies in Californi

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and has therefore been widely researched the last decades. Breast cancer is one of the least aggressive cancer types, and this together with extensive research has given one of the highest survival rate of any cancer types. However, there is still a long way to go in order to decrease the number of deaths even further. New, more effecti

Dual-listing has become a popular approach for companies to seek funding and international expansion. Typically companies grow big from less developed domestic markets and march into developed markets. However, China, as an emerging market economy has witnessed a wave of Hong Kong-listed companies returning to the mainland for a second IPO. One primary assumption for companies’ motivation to retur

Vätgas är en energikälla som har en energidensitet (per massa) tre gånger så stor som naturgas. Detta gör så att vätgas är en huvudkandidat för morgondagens bränsle. Ett av de viktigaste forskningsområderna för vätgas innefattar produktion av vätgas eftersom det finns en stor mängd metoder för vätgasproduktion. Återvinnbar vätgas kan potentiellt produceras med vattenelektrolys, som undersöks i det

In Senegal, rice plays a crucial role in combating food insecurity since it is one of the most consumed staple crops. Despite this, national rice-production is insufficient in relation to the domestic demand, making Senegal one of West Africa’s most import-dependent countries in rice. To combat this issue, the Senegalese government aim to reach national self-sufficiency in rice production, primari

Popular Abstract in Swedish Energianvändningen i världen måste minska drastiskt inom en snar framtid för att därmed minska utsläppen av växthusgaser och bromsa klimatförändringarna. Energi och handlande med energikällor har även blivit nationella säkerhetsfrågor. Inom Europeiska Unionen används ungefär 40% av den totala energianvändningen i byggnader, vilket innebär ungefär 36% av det totala koldiThe use of energy is a major global issue both according to climate changes but also in the aspect of national safety tied to the trade with energy sources. Of the total energy use in the member states of the European Union, about 40% is used in residential and commercial buildings. Passive houses are one way to reduce the energy use in buildings and at the same time keep a good indoor comfort. Th
