The Purpose of this survey was to look at the social meaning of alcohol within a group of young people in the age area 18 to 20. I chose a quantitative survey among youth to investigate attitudes to alcohol habits of other youths. The survey was performed with 96 young persons. Every year the federation of alcohol and drug awareness (CAN) do a nationwide survey of alcohol and drug habits among stu
Large and strongly growing organizations tackle the issue of finding a way to decide which business requirements to fulfill and which projects to move forward but often forget the strategic. Once a strategy has been developed, its implementation appears to be seen as a matter of operational detail and tactical adjustment. As efforts and resources risk to be put on the wrong projects, how do you ma
Theories of Economics of Crime suggest that the unemployment rate should influence the crime rates and especially property crime rates. In this paper I investigate the effect of three different types of unemployment on crime rates (total unemployment (age 16-64), youth unemployment (age 18-24) and long-term unemployment (age 20-64)). Although theory is mostly applicable on property crimes I also i
Mother Abuse in the Eyes of the Social Services - a Qualitative Study of Violence and Parenting The purpose of this study was to examine how Child Protection workers understand the dynamics of parenting within a relationship that entails Domestic Violence, and to highlight how they understand the needs of the children in these families. Interviews were carried out with four female Child Protectio
I avtalsrätten utgörs en central princip av pacta sunt servanda – löften ska hållas. Denna princip, som på ytan kanske inte ser ut att innebära några svårigheter, kan leda till bekymmer sett inom ramen för användandet av letter of intent respektive letter of comfort. I det moderna näringslivet har ett flertal sätt att sluta kommersiella avtal vuxit fram och lett till att avtalslagens anbud-accepOne fundamental principle within the field of contract law is pacta sunt servanda - agreements must be kept. This principle, which on the surface might not seem very complicated, may cause problems when applied on the use of letter of intent and letter of comfort. In the modern business world several ways of entering commercial contracts have arisen, causing the offer-and-acceptance-model provide
Studien syftar till att undersöka den ojämna könsfördelningen bland flöjtstudenter i musik- och kulturskolan, samt vilka faktorer som skapar och upprätthåller denna fördelning. Fyra flöjtpedagoger berättar om sina perspektiv på valet av instrument. Vidare beskrivs elevunderlaget ur ett lärarperspektiv. Pedagogerna resonerar kring värdet av en jämnare könsfördelning. De diskuterar även hur de självThis study aims to examine the uneven gender distribution amongst flute students in the municipal music schools, and the factors that create and maintain this distribution. It describes, from the flute teacher’s perspective, factors significant in creating and maintaining this distribution. Furthermore the student basis is described from the flute teacher’s perspective. The teachers discuss the va
GEANT4 is a Monte Carlo code originally implemented for high-energy physics applications and is well known for particle transport at high energies. The capacity of GEANT4 to simulate neutron transport in the thermal energy region is not equally well known. The aim of this article is to compare MCNP, a code commonly used in low energy neutron transport calculations and GEANT4 with experimental resu
Genome-wide association studies have identified 32 loci influencing body mass index, but this measure does not distinguish lean from fat mass. To identify adiposity loci, we meta-analyzed associations between similar to 2.5 million SNPs and body fat percentage from 36,626 individuals and followed up the 14 most significant (P < 10(-6)) independent loci in 39,576 individuals. We confirmed a previou
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the main protein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and a principal mediator of the reverse cholesterol transfer pathway. Variants of apoA-I have been shown to be associated with hereditary amyloidosis. We previously characterized the G26R and L178H variants that both possess decreased stability and increased fibril formation propensity. Here we investigate the Milano
The aim of this study is to analyse the extent of which different types of research funding, gender and type of position have an effect on the size and density of research collaboration networks. The material consists of 3,306 documents by scientists doing cancer research at Lund University, indexed in the Web of Science databases. The author and address fields were analysed, by studying frequenci
Obesity is a complex disease with multiple well-defined risk factors. Nevertheless, susceptibility to obesity and its sequelae within obesogenic environments varies greatly from one person to the next, suggesting a role for gene x environment interactions in the etiology of the disorder. Epigenetic regulation of the human genome provides a putative mechanism by which specific environmental exposur
Capabilities-based planning and capability assessment are high on the agendas of several countries and organisations as part of their risk management and emergency preparedness. Despite this, few definitions of capability exist, and they are not easily related to concepts such as risk, vulnerability and resilience. The aim of the present study was thus to broaden the scientific basis of the risk f
Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for describing and analyzing misalignments in supply chain management related to changes in supply chain structures, processes, and management components. Design/methodology/approach Based on the systems approach, a single-case study including several embedded cases from the same supply chain was deployed. This was done acc
