Previous research has shown integrated planning to be important for achieving aims concerning more environmentally friendly transport operations, but less good at explaining prerequisites of implementation. This paper analyses how management and working practises in local authorities, here understood as steering cultures, affect implementation of integrated land-use and public transport planning a

In post-industrialist societies, similar high standards of living are becoming not only desired but also expected the world over. Globalising processes ensure that every material desire is within the reach of ordinary citizens, and then flame these desires in order to sustain continuous growth narratives. But are increasingly resource-intensive lifestyles sustainable, or even desirable? This artic

Carotid artery intima media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque are measures of subclinical atherosclerosis associated with ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD). Here, we undertake meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in 71,128 individuals for cIMT, and 48,434 individuals for carotid plaque traits. We identify eight novel susceptibility loci for cIMT, one independent

In 18 untreated adult patients (median age 62.5 yr) with advanced non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma of unfavourable histology, thymidine labelling indices (LIs) of the lymphoma cells were assessed. The patients were treated with combination chemotherapy and have been followed for 29–60 (median 52) months or until death. The survival curve had a steep fall during the first 2 yr. Between 2–5 yr after treatment

Although organizations increasingly acknowledge the communicative importance of employees, and increasingly frame communication as an employee responsibility, communication responsibility remains an unexplored topic in strategic communication research. To address this gap, this study introduces the concept employee communication responsibility and offers insight into factors influencing employees’

Authoritative school climates have been associated with less school bullying and other antisocial behaviors. However, studies focusing on the classroom level, as well as on bystander behaviors, are lacking. The aim of the current study was to examine whether authoritative classroom climates were associated with bullying victimization and various bystander behaviors (reinforcer, outsider, and defen

Minimalist Branding has become popular as a branding technique in a time of visual overload and growing customer distrust. With an emphasis on cultural and age differences, this study investigates whether minimalist branding increases or decreases consumer trust. Using a qualitative research design built upon constructivism and interpretivism, this study conducted five focus group discussions invo

Denna studie undersökte attityder till barnfrihet i en svensk kontext, med särskilt fokus på hur barnfria kvinnor upplevde reaktioner från sin omgivning. En mixed-methods-design tillämpades. En kvantitativ enkätstudie (n = 131) mätte attityder med hjälp av en modifierad version av Attitudes Toward Voluntary Childlessness Scale. Resultaten visade att kvinnor uttryckte signifikant mer positiva attit

Phubbing beskriver fenomenet då en eller flera personer under en social interaktion tar upp sin mobiltelefon och riktar sin uppmärksamhet mot den istället för den eller de en umgås med. Phubbing har i tidigare kvantitativa studier visat sig ge upphov till negativa känslor och tycks påverka relationer och relationskvalitet negativt. Därför ämnar denna kvalitativa studie besvara forskningsfrågan: HuPhubbing describes the phenomenon when one or more people during a social interaction pick up their mobile phone and direct their attention to it instead of the person or people they are hanging out with. Phubbing has in previous quantitative studies been shown to give rise to negative emotions and seems to affect relationships and relationship quality negatively. Therefore, this qualitative study

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an abysmal impact on professional lives. The relentless strains of Covid have kept the world at large on tenterhooks. This has led to a new way of life and remote work environment. Work from home culture, while has seeped into the DNA of employees and organizations, has also brought about abundant experiences, expectations and criticisms. This thesis aims to delve int

I Slättemossa, Hultsfreds kommun, Kalmar län, förekommer två hällar som båda är mindre än 20m2. De består av en så kallad klotbergart (orbicular rock). Bergarten är klassad som monzodiorit till diorit och består av klot, som ligger tätt i ett matrix. Kloten är uppbyggda av en medelkornig kärna omgiven av tre finkorniga skal; ett inre mörkt, ett mellanliggande ljust och ett yttre mörkt skal. Matrix

Ett grustag vid Fiskarheden, som ligger i nordvästra Dalarna, uppvisar tjocka avlagringar av grovkorniga sediment; en sanduravlagring av så kallad Scott-typ som deponerats i en is-proximal proglacial miljö. Preliminära OSL-dateringar av sandursedimenten tyder på att de är av en pre-Saalian ålder (>200 000 år). Av särskilt intresse här är, förutom dess höga ålder pre-daterande det senaste istidsmax
