Personality tests are a common tool in recruitment. A problem that may arise is candidates who adjust their answers in a socially desirable way to improve their chances of employment. The research question of this study was: “How the reporting of personality traits is affected by manipulation of the content of a fictional job advertisement and can this be interpreted as socially desirable respondi
The coronavirus was first detected in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly around the world. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a pandemic. This study examines the impact between the COVID-19 pandemic and Swedish citizens' trust in the state and government agencies. As a consequence of the corona pandemic, drastic measures were taken in order to reduce the spre
Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques
In order to produce drinking water of high quality, surface water works apply extensive treatment processes. In this study, flow cytometry and heterotrophic plate counting was utilized to study water quality before, during and after treatment in Görvälnverket in Stockholm, Sweden. Samples were collected and analysed throughout the treatment process, mapping the reduction of total and intact cell c
The purpose of this study is to explore whether communicating the liabilities of newness can justify young ventures’ offshoring decisions to such an extent that it moderates country-of-origin (COO) effects. We adjust the established concept of COO effects to the entrepreneurial context and therefore include the country of ownership (CO) instead of the country of design (CD) next to the commonly us
Historically, animals have been excluded from the realms of political theory and political science. The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow
The aim of this essay is to understand the War on Terror, specifically Obama’s drone war and the torture at Abu Ghraib, through the lens of The Second Discourse (1754) by Jean Jacque Rousseau. In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the
This paper tests the “Square Root Rule” (the SRR), a Basel sanctioned method of scaling 1-day Value At risk to higher time horizons. The SRR has come under serious assault from leading researchers focusing on its week theoretical basis: assuming i.i.d. asset returns. I performed an empirical test of the SRR on the 10-day horizon, the maximum horizon allowed by Basel, comparing SRR performance to d
Throughout the 21st century migration has become increasingly politicised in Sweden, a trend that was further intensified by the migration crisis in 2015. This development significantly heightened media attention to migration and positioned it as a central concern among the Swedish public. There has been a significant shift in the political landscape in Europe and Sweden as well, where anti-immigr

This thesis is devoted to the study of different aspects of groups acting on rooted trees and their applications.First, we focus on the Hausdorff dimension of groups acting on rooted trees. We develop new tools that lead to the solution of several well-known open problems in the subject due to Abért-Virág, Bartholdi, Grigorchuk, Klopsch and Shalev among others.Secondly, we study many aspects of thThis thesis is devoted to the study of different aspects of groups acting on rooted trees and their applications.First, we focus on the Hausdorff dimension of groups acting on rooted trees.

Placement errors of object clitics (OCL) in French have been documented in 2L1 and L2 but not in L1 acquisition (Granfeldt 2012; Hamann & Belletti 2006). In the present study, we investigate whether placement errors of third person singular OCLs may be due to cross-linguistic influence.

This article focuses on how interest-driven, self-sustaining jazz learning activities can be matched against the concepts of stolen knowledge (Brown & Duguid, 1996) and landscape of learning (Bjerstedt, 2014).
