Som en del av ett projekt på Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet har Samhällsvetenskapliga fakultetens biblioteks (Sambibs) personal gått en kurs om iPads och appar. För att höja hela personalgruppens kompetens gick samtliga bibliotekarier kursen. Deltagarnas erfarenheter och åsikter dokumenterades i den blogg där kursuppgifterna publicerades och alla fyllde också i enkäter. KurAs part of a project at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund University the staff at the Social Sciences Faculty Library (Sambib) attended a course on iPads and apps. In order to improve the skills of the whole staff, all librarians took the course. The participants’ experiences and opinions were documented in the blog where the course information was published and everyone filled out questionna

The influence of sorption on the mineralisation of 50 mug aniline l(-1) was examined in an aquifer material under batch conditions. The study was designed to distinguish the rates and extent of biodegradation of the sorbed and the dissolved trace organic and the contribution of sorbed and suspended bacteria to the degradation. Four different mathematical models were developed with different assump

Går evolution att simulera? Det finns sedan länge etablerade modeller för mekaniken bakom evolution. Dessa modeller beskriver hur vissa egenskaper kan uppstå genom mutation och eventuellt ge bättre förutsättningar för individen som kan sprida sitt gynnade anlag. Över lång tid och och rätta förutsättningar kan en gen som hade sitt ursprung i en enda mutation bli den som dominerar den genetiska uppWhen a severe deleterious mutation appears in a population, it is expected to disappear through negative selection within a few generations. However, the variance of this number is significantly large to allow some deleterious mutations to exist for several generations. To extend the understanding about these dynamics can help to prevent and treat genetic disease in humans and other species. In or

Egyptology in the 19th and early 20th centuries developed simultaneously with increased imperial presence in Egypt by the European imperial powers, which would have influence on how the discipline was practised. The history of Egyptology has for this reason primarily focused on the big four – Great Britain, France, Germany and USA – and on Egypt itself. The aim of this study is to examine how Egyp

Bemanningsbranschen har under de senaste årtiondena vuxit kraftigt i Sverige och är idag en etablerad del av arbetsmarknaden. Behovet av att reglera bemanningsbranschen rättsligt insåg EU redan tidigt och efter många turer och skilda åsikter i frågan så kunde EU 2008 beslutaom bemanningsdirektivet. Direktivet skulle vara genomfört i Sverige senast 2011 men blev klart först i januari 2013 då uthyrnThe temporary agency work business has grown considerably over the last decades in Sweden. The need to regulate the business by law was recognized early on by the EU. After a long process and many divergent opinions, the Temporary Agency Work directive was finally agreed upon in 2008. The directive should have been implemented in Sweden in 2011 but the law enforcing it, uthyrningslagen, was not fi

Tidigare forskning på samkönad familjebildning i Sverige har främst rört homosexuella kvinnor och män som tillsammans delat föräldraskap i så kallade flerföräldrafamiljer. I denna kvalitativa studie fokuseras mödrar som istället vänt sig till fertilitetsklinik för insemination med donatorsäd från permanent okända donatorer. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med elva mödrar från sju samkönadPrevious research on same-sex parenting in Sweden has focused on families in which homosexual women and men share parenting tasks in so called multi-parent families. This qualitative study focuses on mothers who turned to fertility clinics for insemination with semen from permanently unknown donors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven mothers from seven same-sex families. Discour

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om implicita och explicita fördomar mot attraktiva och oattraktiva ansikte kan reduceras. Det undersöktes genom att deltagarna tvingades hålla med om ett antal motivationspåståenden om vikten av att ej vara fördomsfull mot attraktiva samt oattraktiva. Deltagarna fick sedan göra en affektiv misattributionsprocedur där de fick skatta attraktiva samt oattraktThe purpose of this study was to examine if implicit and explicit prejudices against attractive and unattractive people can be reduced. This was meant to occur when the participants were forced to agree with a set of motivational statements about the importance of not prejudicing against attractive and unattractive faces. The participants then rated attractive and unattractive faces in an affectiv

This study uses Gérard Genettes theories on transtextuality in an attempt to open up the meaning of Tage Aurell's (1895–1976) "Sommarspel" from the short story collection Nya berättelser (1949). The relations between the short story and earlier texts, such as the biblical myths about David and Goliath, and David and Batsheba; a poem by Dan Andersson; and an excerpt from the operetta

Diffusionsviktad magnetiskresonanstomografi (MRT) är en metod där vi med hjälp av magnetfält kan märka in vattenmolekyler och följa de slumpmässiga rörelser som alla molekyler uppvisar. Den slumpmässiga rörelsen uppstår p.g.a. termisk energi (värmeenergi) och varierar med temperaturen och ämnet som omger molekylerna. Tensoranalys är ett matematiskt verktyg för att skapa modeller för hur den omgivaDiffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a modality that offers the possibility to measure molecular motion such as water self-diffusion which is in the order of 10-9 m2/s. The basic formalism has been known since the middle of the 20:th century, it is however, only during the last decade that it has been used for imaging. Through tensor analysis of diffusion weighted images, acquire

HIV is the world’s leading infectious killer and young people constitute a large part of those who are infected. Preventative interventions directed to young people often fail to provide the comprehensive information about HIV/AIDS that the young people need and the information given is not always accurately understood.

Sammanfattning Hemlig rumsavlyssning är exempel på statens tvångsmakt gentemot den enskilde. Det kan åsamka betydande skada i enskildas personliga integritet men är trots det ett viktigt och slagkraftigt element, i polisens brottsutredande verksamhet. Hemlig rumsavlyssning intar en särställning bland de hemliga tvångsmedlen, då omfattande uppgifter rörande enskildas privatliv insamlas. Utöver uppgSummary Secret coercive measures such as bugging, is an example of the state's coercive power over the individual.

The growing expansion of importance amid financial stakeholders regarding sustainability has led to an extended demand and need of reliable reporting amongst sustainability metrics. Previous research and information about ESG reporting and how ESG ratings are calculated are flawed. This thesis investigates if there are differences between how ESG ratings are assessed between companies producing da
