Happiness or subjective well-being is often measured by assessing individuals’ judgments of life satisfaction and experience of positive and negative affect (Diener, Psychological Bulletin, 95, 542-575, 1984). In addition, recent research suggests that individuals’ sense of harmony in life is also an important component of subjective well-being (Kjell et al., Social Indicators Research, 126, 893-9

Why do some foreign ministers stay longer in office than others? Are they punished when the country loses a war? Several scholars have focused on the tenure of leaders as an important predictor of foreign policy outcomes, such as war onset, creating an interest in leadership survival. We here shift the focus to the survival of other important politicians in cabinet-foreign ministers, hypothesizing

Monte Carlo (MC) modelling techniques have been used extensively in Nuclear Medicine (NM). The theoretical energy resolution relationship (∝1/E−−√), does not accurately predict the gamma camera detector response across all energies. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of an energy resolution model for the SIMIND MC simulation code emulating the Siemens Symbia T16 dual-head gamma camera.

The ‘planetary boundaries’ framework identifies Earth system processes that contribute to the stability and resilience of the planet (Rockström et al., 2009a), setting out the limits to changes the Earth can support for remaining in a Holocene-like state. A key question for global sustainable development that emerges from this framework is how to secure social equity while respecting planetary bou

Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the degree of consensus in the management of spinal cord tethering (TC) in patients with anorectal malformation (ARM) in a large cohort of European pediatric centers. Methods: A survey was sent to pediatric surgeons (one per center) members of the ARM-Net Consortium. Results: Twenty-four (86%) from ten different countries completed the survey. Overa

Denna uppsats behandlar anställnings- och diskrimineringsskyddet för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning i en uppsägningssituation. Skydd för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning finns i såväl arbetsrätten som i diskrimineringsrätten. I LAS (Lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd) finns regler som begränsar en arbetsgivares möjlighet att säga upp sina arbetstagare. För att en uppsägning ska vara fThis thesis examines the employment protection and the protection against discrimination for a disabled person facing dismissal. Legal protection for disabled employees can be found both in labour law and in anti-discrimination law. The Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80) contains paragraphs that limit employer’s possibilities to dismiss his or her employees. A valid dismissal according to th

This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w

The main objective of our study is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how employees experience the utilization of a LXP to foster the learning flow within the organization. To address this issue, we challenge Jenkin's (2013) 5I framework, which did not consider the emergence of barriers to using and thus supporting learning flow through tools. This study involves qualitative researc

Utländska studier på militära veteraner visar på att psykiska sjukdomar, såsom Posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD) till följd av missionen förekommer. Samtidigt som studier på svenska militära utlandsveteraner uppvisat en lägre frekvens av PTSD. Den här studien undersökte kvantitativt hur det psykologiska stödet ser ut och hur det påverkar förekomsten av PTSD hos de svenska militära veteranerna. SInternational studies of military veterans display that psychological illnesses, like Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), exists as a result of the missions. Studies of Swedish military veterans indicates a lower frequency of PTSD, than foreign military veterans. This study used a quantitative method to investigate how the psychological supportive functions by the Swedish armed forces affect the

This research investigates the contribution of local currencies to sustainability. I look at a specific local currency scheme (the Bristol Pound, in Bristol, United Kingdom) through a transitions perspective, employing a Transitions Evaluation Framework, Multi-Level and Multi-Phase Perspectives to conduct my analysis.

In the European Union (EU) policymakers are faced with many challenges in national corporate taxation policy from globalization, in particular the increasing cross-border mobility of capital. The EU member countries have become a highly integrated single market and this has meant that trade and investment flows are highly sensitive to corporate tax rates. Corporate tax rates have fallen over the l

This thesis sets out to explore the question – How does overconfidence affect entrepreneurial ventures? To answer this question a thorough body of literature has been reviewed. It turned out that this was a fairly well-researched area and many academic researchers have published on this topic. To support the body of literature, data has been collected through an auto-ethnographic perspective utili

Nationella domstolars skyldighet att inhämta förhandsavgörande från EU-domstolen har under lång tid varit föremål för kritik. Kritiken har främst bestått i att det vid en strikt tolkning av EU-domstolens domskäl i princip är omöjligt att hantera förhandsavgörandefrågan unionskonformt. Under december 2022 beslutade den svenska Högsta domstolen att riva upp ett lagakraftvunnet avgörande med hänvisniThe obligation of national courts to request preliminary rulings from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has long been criticized, mainly on the grounds that a strict interpretation of the ECJ's case law makes it practically impossible to manage the question of preliminary rulings in a manner compatible with EU law. In December of 2022, the Swedish Supreme Court decided to overturn a final ju

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

I enlighet med bestämmelserna i lagen om genetisk integritet m.m. är surrogatmoderskap inte tillåtet inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård. Vissa ofrivilligt barnlösa som saknar möjlighet till behandling med assisterad befruktning i Sverige, söker sig därför utomlands för att genomgå surrogatarrangemang. Svårigheter kan uppstå när de tilltänkta föräldrarna vill ta hem barnet till Sverige. Eftersom surroAccordning to the provisions of the Genetic Integrity Act, surrogacy is not permitted in the Swedish health care system. Thus some individuals who suffer from involuntary childlessness cannot be offered treatment of assisted reproduction in Sweden. Some of them travel abroad to undergo surrogate arrangements. When the prospective parents wish to bring their child home difficulties arise. Due to th

Laglotten regleras i ärvdabalken (1958:637) 7 kap. 1 § och fungerar som ett arvsrättsligt skydd till förmån för bröstarvingar. Skyddet aktualiseras i de fall då en avliden valt att testamentera bort all kvarlåtenskap. Bröstarvingar har i dessa fall en lagstadgad rätt till hälften av den dödes arvslott.
