A great number of studies have explored the motivations that drive software developers to devote their time and efforts to contribute to Open Source Software Development (OSSD) projects. Previous studies have stated that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are important, however there have been different opinions regarding their relative value. This study further researches OSSD motivations a
Kanada är väldigt rikt på energiresurser och fjärde största vattenkraftproducenten i världen. Provinsen Quebec står för omkring 52% av Kanadas totala vattenkraftsproduktion, och ener- gimarknaden Quebec domineras fullständigt av vattenkraft: 96% av elen genereras där av vattenkraft. I avreglerade vattenkraftdominerade energimarknader är det vanligt att det finns ett samband mellan vatteninflödet tCanada is plentiful in resources and the fourth largest producer of hydropower in the world. The province of Quebec stands for about 52% of Canada’s total hydropower production, and the Quebecois energy market is totally dominated by hydropower: 96% of the electricity produced in Quebec is hydro. In hydro dominated deregulated energy markets, a correlation can often be found between the water infl
The public library is a democratic institution that belongs to all people in society. Among other things, this means that public libraries should not show any political bias and refrain from taking a standpoint in relation to any ideological group. This study investigates the problematic scenario that public librarians have encountered as a result of The Sweden Democrats’ (SD) 2010 entrance into p
Concordant with a wider political and cultural emphasis on individual choice and selfcare, European patients have during the last decade become empowered stakeholders as a result of digitization. Nonetheless, patient empowerment sits uncomfortable with the prevailing business model pertaining to the majority of pharmaceutical organisations whose PR activities primarily target healthcare profession
To be in the hospital as a patient is a special occurrence, and patients’ experiences often vary when it comes to care, specifically in relation to hospital staff. The purpose of this study was to examine patients’ and personnel’s experiences of the care in an orthopedic clinic and to explore causal factors that maybe are affecting the experience of care. The community, the organization of the hos
Models for dynamic simulation of a parabolic trough concentrating solar power plant were developed in Modelica for the simulation software Dymola. The parabolic trough power plant has a two-‐tank indirect thermal storage with solar salt for the ability to dispatch electric power later in the evening and during the night when little or no solar irradiation is present. The complete system consists
In Nicaragua, one girl out of four at the age of 17 has experienced her first pregnancy. With such a high frequency, adolescent pregnancy is a social issue, and contradictory messages are given to teenagers by influencing elements such as the family, the culture, the Catholic Church, school and Centro de Salud, the health centres. The aim of this study was to provide a situation analysis of how ad

The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence. The approach of the study was quali-tative with semi-structured interviews. Five junior and intermediate level school teachers from two different schools
I dagsläget utförs fullskaliga kapacitetsprov på sprinkleranläggningar med syfte att undersöka om erforderligt tryck och flöde kan erhållas i händelse av brand. Fullskaliga kapacitetsprov är däremot relaterade till risker som lågt tryck i vattenledningsnät, blödning på gjutjärnsrör, översvämning av lågt belägna områden och tryckslag i rör. I detta arbete undersöks om reducerade kapacitetsprov sammTo this date, full-scale capacity tests are performed in sprinkler facilities in order to investigate if sufficient pressure and flow can be achieved in case of fire. Full-scale capacity tests may, however, cause problems such as low pressure in pipes, scaling of pipe walls, flooding of low topography areas, and water hammer. This report intends to research whether reduced capacity tests together
The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo
Daylighting has become a fundamental measure not only to decrease the electrical energy demand in buildings, but also to provide good indoor comfort for the occupants. Atria have been implemented in buildings since old times as a space to foster interaction and provide indoor comfort through ventilation and daylight. However, the implementation of this feature can be complex if good natural light
Uppsatsen undersöker diskriminering av synliga minoriteter i polisiär verksamhet ur ett diskrimineringsrättsligt och polisrättsligt perspektiv. Utgångspunkten är den diskrimineringsrättsliga lagreform som presenteras i SOU 2016:87, nämligen införandet av ett generellt diskrimineringsförbud som täcker alla sfärer av offentligheten, inklusive polisens brottsbekämpande verksamhet. För att analysera hThis thesis examines the Swedish police’s discrimination of visible minorities from the perspective of both discrimination law and police law. The point of departure is the anti-discrimination law reform presented in SOU 2016:87, where a general prohibition of discrimination covering all spheres of the public, including police law enforcement, is proposed. In order to analyze whether such a prohib
Introduction: Born globals are increasingly prevalent and very successful in doing business globally, which is quite remarkable when keeping in mind they operate with limited human and financial resources and international business experience.
