An evaluative neutralisation process, whereby questionnaire items are phrased to be less evaluative, was used to create a new less socially desirable version of the social dominance orientation scale (SDO7). The main goal is to counteract the persistent floor effect which has affected the scale since its inception. The rationale behind the suggested correction is rooted with the problem of social

2008 ändrades den svenska sjukförsäkringsprocessen till ett nytt system, rehabiliteringskedjan. Rehabiliteringskedjan är i lag fastslagna tidpunkter i sjukskrivningsprocessen, där den sjukskrivnes arbetsförmåga ska prövas mot olika bedömningsgrunder. Den första är mot sina ordinarie arbetsuppgifter, den andra mot vad ens arbetsgivare kan erbjuda och den tredje är mot ett arbete som anses vara normIn 2008 the system for the assessment process within the Swedish sickness benefit was changed, into the rehabilitation chain. Within the rehabilitation chain, there are different stages of assessing the individual’s capacity for work. The different stages of assessments are enforced by law. The first assessment examines if the individual has the work ability to work with his or her regular task as

Samhället präglas av digital utveckling som anses medföra stora fördelar. Inom det juridiska området tar primärt EU digitaliseringen i anspråk vid sin verksamhet. Sverige har högt uppsatta digitaliseringsmål men är inte lika lyckade som EU på att lagtekniskt följa med i denna utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i digitaliseringen av samhället utreds i den här uppsatsen huruvida det är möjligt att, utifråSociety is characterized by digital development, which is considered to bring great benefits. In the legal field it is primarily the EU that uses means towards digitalization in its operations. Sweden’s goals for digitalization are high but the country has not been as successful as the EU in staying current with the development judicially. With the digitization of society as its basis, this paper

In 1994 Rwanda experienced a genocide that took an estimated 800.000 lives in the course of 100 days. This essay takes the form of a case study that examines Rwanda’s transitional justice process that followed and its abilities to create a gender-just peace. The study is based on a theoretical framework that links a feminist reading of transitional justice and gender-just peace together with gende

We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to

This master thesis focuses around improving the efficiency and accuracy of existing indoor positioning systems with the help of Machine Learning (ML). Our work is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v5.1. Position estimation is currently being carried out using the Least-Squares (LS) method in the framework. Introducing Machine Learning to position estimation can reduce computation time and increa

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the difference between Swedish municipalities susceptibility to automation and its impact on regional inequality during the period 2014-2018. The analysis is conducted in two steps. In the first step, a calculation of each municipality’s average susceptibility to automation is made. This is done by applying estimates of the probability of occupations risk o

The purpose of this paper is to clarify and understand the difference between Brunius?, Zettervall's and Graebe's valueing of a historical building, the cathedral of Lund. Between 1833 and 1963 the cathedral of Lund went through three larger restorations. The character of the restorations however differs a lot between the three church architects, Brunius, Zettervall and Graebe. In a time o

Knowledge is today considered to be a critical factor for organisations to survive within an increasingly competitive market. This has resulted in the fact that effective management of information and knowledge has become of crucial importance for companies. Knowledge management systems facilitate this management of knowledge and make it possible to develop new knowledge that can be shared and dis

The doctrine of traditio is the main rule for the buyer’s protection against the sellers’s creditors in the Swedish legal system. This means that the buyer have to take physical possession of the property in order to be protected against the sellers’s creditors if the seller becomes bankruptcy or is hit by an execution. If instead the doctrine of consensus applied the buyer is protected as soon as

Problem statement: Exchange rates have fluctuated since the beginning of trade, and there is nothing indicating that future exchange rates will become more stable. Firms have had to construct and implement a risk management program in order to offset any imbalance caused by fluctuating exchange rate. These programs are build by the evaluation of different factors. What this dissertation has done i

Östersjön har stora problem med övergödning, eutrofiering, vilket beror på en ökad transport av näringsämnen från omgivande länder. Näringen kommer främst i form av kväve och fosfor från jordbruket och transporteras ut i Östersjön via floder. Framförallt kväve har stor påverkan på övergödningen, som i sin tur leder till fiskdöd, algblomning och syrefria bottnar i sjöar. I den här studien ska läckEutrophication problems in the Baltic Sea have drawn attention to the contribution of nutrients from surrounding countries. The problems have attracted considerable attention to non-point source nitrogen pollution of rivers and lakes. The ability to predict nitrogen export from inland sources is essential in order to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic activities, of which the leakage from agric

The purpose of this paper is to study the rules of the bill 2007/08: 136 "A reformed sick-leave process of increased return to work" as related to the rehabilitation chain. In the interpretation of the material I have used the “practical legal method” and a minor empirical study has been conducted to find out how Region Skåne and UMAS adjust their activities to the new regulations. The g

This Master's thesis aims to investigate the reference interview using the discourse analytical method discourse psychology. The reference interview has been studied thoroughly, and its importance has been proven repeatedly within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). However, it has never been studied from a discourse analytical point of view before. The material for our study

This paper takes a point of departure in the municipality of Copenhagen (two administrations herein) and their participation in Eurocities. The main question is what kind of processes of Europeanization that takes place in the two administrations. Furthermore, it will be discussed what kind of approach they are taking to European cooperation and how their perception and reflection on the matter is

The aim of this study is to explore the fundaments of all psychoanalytic interpretative models, and especially the psychoanalytic literary criticism. Drawing from different fields as affect theory, neuropsychology and Lacan's structural psychoanalysis, strong evidence is found that language in itself contains and transmits affects. The empiric study indicates that different readers of a text,

The (re)appearance of different Far-Right parties in Italy during the last decades brought me to the decision to write my Master's thesis about this topic. Due to the fact that in this country, together with a long tradition of support for Far-Right ideologies, more than one tipology of Far-Right party exists, an interesting scenario is open for the analysis. I will study the cases of Lega Nor

The purpose of this thesis is to identify similarities and differences in implementation and application of IFRS in the Big Four audit firms. In order to do this we are going to see how interpretations of IFRS are shared and transferred within the audit firms. We have chosen to use a case study approach with a qualitative approach and an abductive view. When collecting the data we have chosen to u

In the history of DSS literature numerous of researchers have investigated the state of DSS and attempts have been made to develop an understanding for the role of certain critical success factors affecting the implementation success. However, the cumulative knowledge is in the literature suggested to be li-mited and regularly placing the end-user outside the centre of focus. This thesis have incl

The Klingon language was created as a "verbal movie-prop" for Star Trek and was not supposed to be a language for human communication. But today thousands of persons have studied Klingon and 20 - 30 persons can be considered fluent in the language. A linguistic field of power, a linguistic market, has been formed. The purpose of this thesis is to research how the Klingon language speaker
