This paper investigates the impact of cultural differences, specifically time and risk preferences, on cross-country variations in higher education attainment. Employing individual-level data on educational attainment and migration background from the European Social Survey and aggregate-level measures of preferences from the Global Preferences Study, I investigate the relationship between nationa
This study investigates the experiences of individuals who have left a criminal lifestyle and the factors influencing their journey. Through interviews with both individuals active in a criminal lifestyle and those who have successfully transitioned to a law-abiding life, this research explores the motivations for leaving a criminal lifestyle and the challenges faced during this process. Key findi
As the frequency of natural disasters increases, marked by hotter summers and abnormal ecological changes, climate issues have become impossible to ignore. People are taking to the streets, not only demanding greater awareness but also pushing for meaningful policy changes. This research investigates the relationship between protest events and policymaking within the EU between July 2018 and Decem
This thesis attempts to study and explain Swedish school principals’ reactions to and perceptions of the auditing process of the Swedish School Inspectorate. Guided by two strands of institutional theory, rational choice and sociological institutionalism, the author identifies certain factors that can potentially affect how principals react and think about the auditing process. The study follows a
This report describes the development of a new fixing process when attaching a sensor PCB card to a camera assembly. The thesis focused on cameras which requires calibration to find the optimal position of the sensor PCB card, a process called active alignment. The development process applied for this thesis was derived from the Generic Development Process by Ulrich and Eppinger. Interviewees wit
The aim of this study was to collect new knowledge about the importance of signal crayfish predation on zebra mussels in Lake Erken. Possibly with implications on biological control of the invasive species in Swedish lakes. I performed a field experiment with enclosures (including signal crayfish) and exclosures (without signal crayfish) during 11 summer weeks in Lake Erken. My results showed that
Trots att ett decennium har gått sedan artärernas longitudinella rörelse visades in vivo är bakgrunden till denna multifasiska rörelse fortfarande inte fastställd. Att trycket skulle kunna driva rörelsen har ledigt avfärdats. Resonemanget har varit att eftersom trycket verkar vinkelrätt mot väggen kan det endast påverka den radiella töjningen. I följande arbete har vi visat i en förenklad teoretiAlthough a decade has passed since the longitudinal movement of arteries was shown in vivo, the cause for this multiphasic movement has not yet been established. Pressure as a force driving the forward motion has been repeatedly dismissed on the grounds that pressure acts perpendicular to the wall and therefore solely in the radial direction. In this work we have shown in a simplified theoretical

In the field of development studies, few concepts have gained as much prominence as the Participatory Development (PD) approach, which emphasizes on putting the poor and marginalized groups at the heart of development policy planning practices. Central to the PD approach is bottom-up management of development policymaking and practices, which considers learning, empowerment and local ownership as
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze how the mining equipment producers on a global market manage to handle the changing conditions concerning customer value. Our approach has been a comparative analysis between two different sites in order to answer the purpose. The case studies at Metso Mining have been made through interviews and visits at two geographical markets, South Americ
This dissertation investigates how different regions are financially integrated with the US capital markets and how the level of integration has changed over time. The research has been conducted by using an event study methodology to examine the impact on domestic stock prices following foreign cross-listings on US stock exchanges. A sample of 556 ADR programs initiated by companies from 38 count
Ten strains of an asexual arthroconidial yeast species were isolated from Bryndza, a traditional Slovak artisanal sheep cheese, which was manufactured from raw milk during a 4-month summer production period at two Slovakian sites (the northern Ruzomberok and the central-southern Tisovec areas). Sequence comparison of the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit rRNA gene revealed that this yeast represe
The influence of the addition of carbohydrates with different physicochemical properties on weight loss and formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) during the frying of beef burgers was examined. Furthermore, the capability of carbohydrates to bind HAs was tested. Beef burgers containing 1.5% NaCl and 0.3% tripolyphosphate (reference), with the addition of 1.5% carbohydrate, were fried for 5 min at
In recent years the use of repetition rate multiplication (RRM) on direct geometry neutron spectrometers has been established and is the common mode of operation on a growing number of instruments. However, the chopper configurations are not ideally optimised for RRM with a resultant 100 fold flux difference across a broad wavelength band. This paper presents chopper configurations that will produ
During blood-sucking, female members of the family Tabanidae transmit pathogens of serious diseases and annoy their host animals so strongly that they cannot graze, thus the health of the hosts is drastically reduced. Consequently, a tabanid-resistant coat with appropriate brightness, colour and pattern is advantageous for the host. Spotty coats are widespread among mammals, especially in cattle (
I stället för att se barn som offer i kriser skulle man kunna använda deras anpassningsförmåga och förändringsvilja som resurser i krisberedskapsprocesserna. Ett sätt att öka samhällets motståndskraft kan vara att lägga till krisberedskap i skolans läroplan (s.k. School-based Disaster Preparedness, SBDP). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka uppfattningar om SBDP i Sverige genom en fältstudieChildren are valuable resources when it comes to disaster preparedness and they should no longer be seen as vulnerable. Since they spend about five days a week in school for almost the whole year, it is natural to consider preparing them for hazards while there. The purpose of the present research is to explore the perceived importance and feasibility of implementing school-based disaster prepared
This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals, in an organizational context, experience the process of unlearning in relation to routines and how these individuals might be influenced in their unlearning process.
