Organizational identity has been mostly researched through a managerial perspective, where employees are given a secondary role. This thesis approaches identity from a dynamic perspective and explores how librarian identity is enacted in daily interactions between librarians and patrons, whilst considering any implications for the organization. The research focuses on a single case where participa
The principle of fiscal neutrality is the essence of the EU VAT system. It aims at relieving taxable persons of the burden of VAT through the deduction mechanism provided for by the VAT Directive. In its another aspect, the principle is a means of reflecting the equal treatment of taxable persons. The equal treatment of taxable persons ensures that taxable persons in a comparable situation are not
Simulations of large detectors such as the ATLAS detector at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) are compute-intensive projects, and are according to current internal estimates expected to be consuming 40 % of the total ATLAS CPU resources in 2020, creating a need for software optimization strategies. We investigate build configurations of the Geant4 simulation software to find if a) a performance imp
The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze cash-for-care regulatory policies for the elderly long-term care in three countries, Germany, Sweden, and the UK, and to seek policy implications in preparation for regulatory policies that are suitable for the direction of South Korea’s welfare state and the socio-cultural environment. For this purpose, each country’s cash-for-care regulatory po
We give a short overview of the theory of the muon anomalous magnetic moment with emphasis on the hadronic light-by-light and the pion loop contribution. We explain the difference between the hidden local symmetry and full VMD pion loop and discuss leading logarithms in the anomalous sector of 2-flavour chiral perturbation theory.
Physical activity is associated with lower risks of developing dementia, Parkinson’s disease (PD) and depression. Furthermore, being physically active prior to brain ischemia appears to help the recovery process. However, previous studies do not differentiate between the two most common forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD), when it comes to the association betwee
This thesis is an attempt to discuss the proposals to improve the statuses and rights of the legally resident third country nationals living in the European Union. As denizens, third country nationals have full civil and social rights but they do not have any political rights. This is believed to denote an anomaly, which can be corrected through the grant of political rights. However, political ri

Psouni and Apetroaia (2010) have recently introduced the Secure Base Script Test,SBST, for middle childhood. Based on Waters and Rodrigues-Doolabh’s (2004)Narrative Script Assessment for assessing secure base script knowledge in adults,Psouni and Apetroaia’s method is a narrative task in which children create short narratives by making use of four prompt word outlines that loosely suggest prototyp
The paper analyzes the national judgment in the Laval case and argues that horizontal liability for damages is possible. Additionally, the paper shows that state liability is usually possible in the case of horizontal liability. It also touches upon the question of whether there are community rights to damages arising from the ECJ case law. At the same time, it argues that the state liability requ
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is rapidly emerging as a promising clinical diagnostic tool. One of the main applications of PA imaging is to image vascular networks in humans. This relies on the signal obtained from oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which limits imaging of the vessel wall itself. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a treatable, but potentially sight- and life-threatening disease, in w
Stressful or traumatic memories of an intensive care stay may lead to long-term psychological morbidity. Memory assessment is therefore essential to aid in the patients’ recovery process. Acknowledging the large cohort of post ICU patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a simple tool for the evaluation of ICU memories is needed. The aim of this study was, therefore, to develop and test the validi
The introduction of a child day-care system is one of the early welfare interventions targeted towards mothers and young children that over time gained great prominence in the Swedish welfare state. Because quantitative research on day-cares in historical settings is generally scarce, in this study, we focus on the determinants of day-care enrolment in southern Sweden during the early twentieth ce
The game plan firms must navigate in the quest of competitive advantage which is changing quickly. More and more firms acknowledge that future prosperity depends on achieving the joint goals of economic, environmental and social sustainability. This understanding has resulted in both firms and actors on the financial markets enhancing their focus on environmental, social and governance dimensions
Cosmology concepts encompass complex spatial and temporal relations that are counterintuitive. Cosmology findings, because of their intrinsic interest, are often reported in the public domain with enthusiasm, and students come to cosmology with a range of conceptions some aligned and some at variance with the current science. This makes cosmology concepts challenging to teach, and also challenging
