Chemical hazard assessment is a procedure in chemical regulation to set which concentrations of chemical substances that are safe to an ecological system, i.e. where a majority of the species in the systems is not negatively affected by the substance. The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is an assessment model to estimate hazardous concentration based on toxicity data from representative spe

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new and exciting technology with wide potential implementation areas, from medical to industry. One of the fields from which AR is gaining attention is the manned security industry. Unfortunately, this is also one of the areas in which formal studies on AR is lacking. Ais study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge by evaluating an AR-application designed for the Microsof

This study focuses on the demand side of prostitution and sex-trafficking. The aim is to examine how young men construct the purchase of sex in the male peer group. We did six qualitative interviews with Swedish men between 20 and 30 years of age and used the theory of sexual scripts and stigma to analyse them. Through this, we could obtain that there is male peer groups where buying sex is constr

Under the theory of weak-form market efficiency, present day stock prices reflect all historical data. As a result, the use of technical analysis should not be able to outperform a buy-and-hold strategy of a general market index. This study examines weak-form efficiency on the Swedish stock market by applying technical trading rules to 33 years of historical price data of the OMXS30 index. Variati

In 2010 the Swedish armed forces ended 100-years of conscription and introduced fully employed professional soldiers in their battalions with the purpose to be more usable and have higher readiness. Almost ten years later the turnover has been more than threefold to what was expected when the change was introduced. This study looks into the motivational factors of Swedish professional soldiers.

Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base

We wanted to examine children's views on families and traditions surrounding family formation. Our main questions were; What are children's views on the concept "family" and how does this compare to the different definitions of family? How traditional or modern are children in comparison with historical and present views? and What are the effects of their own experiences, and val

Vi spenderar stor del av livet i urbana miljöer och majoriteten av landets befolkning påverkas dagligen av utformningen av stadens rum, vilket gör det intressant att undersöka hur stadskärnorna är utformade. Handeln i stadskärnorna förlorar idag mar knadsandelar till externa köpcentrum och e-handeln. För att förändra handelsplatser i stadskärnor till att bli mer attraktiva och konkurrenskraftiga kThis study aims to explain the structure and content of Swedish city centres. The distribution and density of commercial activities in the cities are analysed with network constrained methods (Kernel density estimation, Ripley’s K-function and centrality measures) in GIS-programs. External shopping centres and economic theories are used as a benchmark against which city centres are compared. The

Sweden, often listed as one of the world’s most gender equal countries, has one of the most gender segregated labour markets in the world, as well as one of the largest gender differences in regard to the number of days with parental leave. This paper investigates whether there is an interaction between occupational groups’ gender composition and the effect of average days with parental leave on t

Inom den offentliga förvaltningen är det allt vanligare att beslut fattas automatiserat. Med automatiserat beslutsfattande menas att beslut fattas maskinellt utan att någon mänsklig beslutsfattare är en del av beslutsfattandet. I Sverige fattas dagligen hundratusentals beslut utan mänsklig inblandning. Frågor om automatiserat beslutsfattande har fått ökad uppmärksamhet genom en bestämmelse i den nThe use of automated decision-making is becoming more common in the public administration. Automated decision-making means that decisions are made automatically without any individual being part of the decision-making. In Sweden, hundreds of thousands of decisions are made every day without human involvement. Automated decision-making have received increased attention through a provision in the ne

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find

Guardian proteins help or hinder clumpy proteins? Proteins are products encoded by DNA in cells. They need to be folded in a certain structure to perform their function in the cell. Because of this, the proteins need a quality control system to ensure that they are folded correctly. A large group of proteins called as chaperones are important in this regard. The main role of chaperones is to fold

Loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) from farmland is a key threat to the capacity of soils to provide ecosystem services and exacerbates climate change. In alignment with a published protocol, we conducted a review and meta-analysis of time series of SOC measurements in long-term agricultural experiments to study absolute SOC changes under different agricultural management regimes. Our results show

This paper introduces a model of the atrioventricular node function during atrial fibrillation (AF), and describes the related ECG-based estimation method. The proposed model is defined by parameters that characterize the arrival rate of atrial impulses, the probability of an impulse choosing either one of the two atrioventricular nodal pathways, the refractory periods of these pathways, and the p

Method: The method is a regression analysis using regressing performance on pay along with the control variables fir
