A novel insertion device for electron storage rings called the MAX-Wiggler has been constructed at MAX-lab. The MAX-Wiggler is a cold bore superconducting wiggler magnet with 47 3.5-T poles and. a period length of 61 mm aimed for the production of X-rays at the 1.5-GeV electron storage ring MAX-II at MAX-lab. The MAX-Wiggler consists of 98 racetrack coils connected in series in the superconducting

Den här studien syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan faktorerna Locus of Control (LOC), förväntningar på framtiden och subjektivt välbefinnande. Tidigare forskning har visat på att intern LOC korrelerar med högt välbefinnande och extern LOC korrelerar med lågt välbefinnande. När det kommer till att säga vilka slags förväntningar, det vill säga höga eller låga, som en person mår bäst av att hThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the variables Locus of Control (LOC), expectations on the future and subjective well being (SWB). Previous research suggest that internal LOC correlates with high SWB and that external LOC correlates with low SWB. When it comes to the determining if high or low expectations are most profitable for ones SWB, previous research is divid
