In cross-national studies, mean levels of self-reported phenomena are often not congruent with more objective criteria. One prominent explanation for such findings is that people make self-report judgements in relation to culture-specific standards (often called the reference group effect), thereby undermining the cross-cultural comparability of the judgements. We employed a simple method called a
A series of iron(IV) oxo complexes, which differ in the donor (CH2py or CH2COO-) cis to the oxo group, three with hemilabile pendant donor/second coordination sphere base/acid arms (pyH/py or ROH), have been prepared in water at pH 2 and 7. The νFe=O values of 832 ± 2 cm-1 indicate similar FeIV=O bond strengths; however, different reactivities toward C-H substrates in water are observed. HAT occur
A current focus of ecosystem services (ES) implementation is on the municipal level of government where international and national legislation and policies have to be translated into practice. Given this focus, an understanding of perceptions within municipalities of the ES concept is crucial to support the implementation process. Against this background, this paper examines the perceptions of Swe
Examensarbetet redogör för hur ett rekonstruktionsförfarande går till enligt gällande rätt och redogör även till viss del för den kritik som har riktats mot förfarandet och hur lagstiftaren har gått tillväga för att möta denna kritik. Bland annat anses förfarandet vara långsamt och dyrt. Det har vidare angetts att det saknas en enhetlig reglering för konkursförfarandet och rekonstruktionsförfarandThis thesis sets out to describe how a business reorganization procedure works according to existing Swedish law. This thesis also aims to describe the proposed changes and why the changes have been proposed. The current law has been criticized of being slow and inefficient, and also that it is too expensive to reorganize smaller businesses. There is no convenient way to change direction from busi
MKB Fastighets AB (MKB) is a municipally owned company in Malmö Stad with a well-established position on the housing market, meaning that MKB owns 22 238 rental apartments and 1000 commercial spaces which are 33% of the tenancy market in Malmö. Their business concept is to provide rental apartments to a wide range of people with different socio-economic conditions. According to Swedish law, the co
The management of the mining sector in Sierra Leone is characterised by numerous integrations of government and donor agency policies, resembling that of global development agendas advocating for improvements of governance, transparency, capacity building and revenue generation. We must view the global policies in their local scales in order to substantiate their actual effects. The central argu
Cationic vinylpyridine based molecularly imprinted polymer monoliths were, for the first time, applied to enantiomer separation using capillary electrochromatography. In order to map the synthesis conditions under which superporous monoliths are obtained, capillary columns were prepared by an in situ polymerization technique using varying monomer and porogen compositions. Both electrolyte pH and p
Lipid-binding proteins Sequester amphiphilic molecules in a large internal : cavity occupied by similar to 30 water molecules, some of which are displaced by the ligand. The role; of these internal water molecules in lipid binding and release is not understood. We use magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) to directly monitor internal-water dynamics in apo and palmitate-bound rat intestinal fatty ac
A study of three different adhesives, silicone, acrylate and polyurethane, intended for adhesive joints in structural timber/glass applications is presented in this paper. Intentionally, adhesives with a wide range of properties were chosen. The adhesive bonds between timber and glass were tested both in tension and in shear with a bond area of 800 mm2. Special fixtures were designed
Utsagor från vittnen är ett väsentligt inslag i en effektiv rättskipning. Hot och våld mot vittnen utgör därför ett stort hinder i det brottsbekämpande ar-betet. Om det allmänna inte kan erbjuda vittnen ett tillräckligt skydd vid så-dana angrepp, finns det risk att vittnen väljer att inte samarbeta med polisen, vilket i sin tur kan få till följd att grova brott förblir ouppklarade. I denna studie Statements by witnesses are an essential element of the efficient administra-tion of justice. The occurrence of serious forms of threats and violence to-wards witnesses and their relatives therefore constitutes a major impediment to the work in combating crime. If the public cannot offer witnesses suffi-cient protection from attacks, there is a risk that they will choose not to co-operate with the
This thesis analyses web statistics belonging to a national B2C e-commerce in retail. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate abandoned carts amongst logged in customers with at least one product added in to their cart and at least one visit to the payment page. Since the response variable "cart" is binary and we are studying the probability of a cart being abandoned, the suitable me
Currently, the consumer decision-making is influenced by an increase of technological adoption, called multi-channel retailing, which can be defined as a retailer using a combination of integrated channels for promoting and selling products and services. Since there is a lack of knowledge about how the consumer decision-making in this context looks like, the purpose of the study is to redress the
Robots in factories and vehicles on our roads are rapidly reaching the point of automation. Commercial markets require high standards of safety and reliability, which in turn demands strict requirements on software and hardware. This thesis presents an analysis of driver assistance for a hydro-foil speedboat using LiDAR technology. The LiDAR sensor measures 2D positions of surrounding objects and
Sweden has received criticism for insufficient implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The quality of Swedish water does not meet the conditions according to the EU. Hydropower is a climate friendly and important energy source, helping Sweden to reach the goals in energy policy. Nevertheless, hydropower causes environmental footprint in different ways. In order to implement
In the last decade, many Swedish municipalities have faced population decline and thereby eco-nomic stagnation, in fact more than half of all 290 Swedish municipalities are shrinking today. Shrinking is a phenomenon that has been noted in a great deal of international research literature, where its causes and consequences have been examined. In recent years, a growing research interest for the con
Although the Bangsamoro peace-process in the Southern Philippines has been valued for its gender commitments and potential to build just and sustainable peace, discrimination of the Bangsamoro peoples and other minorities prevail. This thesis uncovers how women peace advocates understand social justice and its remedies in the context of the Bangsamoro peace-process, and which opportunities they ha
Syfte: Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur jag som sångare upplever instudering och interpretation av två nyskrivna stycken beroende på hur involverad jag är i tonsättarens skrivandeprocess. Hur påverkas min instudering och interpretation av min involvering i tonsättarens kreativa process, och vilka skillnader upplever jag i förhållande till min egen inblandning i styckets uppkomst? Metod: TvAim: The aim of this study was to examine how I as a singer experience the studies and interpretation of two newly written pieces depending on how involved I am in the composer’s process of writing. How does my involvement in the composer’s creative process affect my studying and interpretation and what differences do I experience in relation to my own involvement in the making of the piece? Metho
