International studies suggest that transgender prisoners are a conundrum for the prison and probation systems when it comes to both management and housing, are at risk of victimization by both inmates and prison staff and that this might impact on transgender inmates’ gender expression or gender identification. There are no studies on transgender inmates’ contact with the Swedish prison and probat
The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col
The aim of this study was to analyze how people with the diagnosis autism, perceive themselves in proportion to other people. The intention was more specifically to examine if people with autism perceive themselves as different or deviant from other people and how they comprehend the relations to other people. The survey was made by a text analysis based on four autobiographies written by two wome
Purpose: This thesis delves into whether acquisition experience is both a valid indicator of increased acquirer returns and leads to participating at certain points during an M&A wave through examining the differences between active and inactive acquirers. This study seeks to provide further understanding of acquisitions during M&A waves with particular interest focused on domestic transac
An essential input to monetary policymaking is inflation forecasting, and one important factor regarding inflation forecasting debated by researchers is the use of a global component. This thesis builds upon Ciccarelli and Mojon (2005, 2010) as well as Gillitzer and McCarthy (2019), who investigate the performance of a global component when forecasting domestic inflation. This paper examines the i
The world is currently facing many great challenges, including a rising inequality as a result of the benefits occurring from economic development accrues to some individuals on the expense of others. This is an issue which is even more significant in the Global South. Hence, social innovations have been proposed as an important factor to tackle this problem. Yet, many social innovations fail not
The microorganism Cupriavidus necator is a very interesting bacterium that has been established as a model microorganism for its capability to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, more specifically polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a potential precursor/raw material for bioplastics. Lately, the scientific community has raised interest in the chemolithoautotrophic nature of C. necator as it can be grown using C
Today, the world contains an unimaginably massive amount of digital information, increasing ever so rapidly and bringing about a wide range of opportunities across industries such as predicting future trends, combating crime to name a few. As a result, more and more organi-sations are investing heavily in Business Intelligence (BI) with the hope of gaining insights through data and analytics and h
This paper addresses the decline in infant mortality that occurred with a remarkable synchronization across Europe around the turn of the century 1900. It is the argument of this paper that this development is not just, as in the conventional view, the side effect of economic growth but could be derived through a cumulative chain of events, starting with the discovery of the germ theory. Mokyr has
Patients and methods: Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and two subscales, Vitality and Mental Health, in the SF-36 4-8 weeks (T1) (n = 61), 6 (T2) (n = 57), 12 (T3) (n = 50), and 18 (T4) months (n = 48) after diagnosis. I-State as Object of Analysis was used to identify a finite set of states based on three dimensions. Cluster analysis was carried out using Ward's m
In distributed communication networks several nodes interact to carry out services. New telecommunication networks support a variety of services, much different from traditional telephony. Each service has its own so called load profile, which means that the amount of capacity needed to complete a service varies. The services may also have different priorities and quality of service requirements.
The Black-headed Gull Larus ridibundus is a monomorphic species with little size variation over its wide distribution range. This is in agreement with the wide dispersal of young birds and change of breeding sites of adults between years, which probably means an almost panmictic dispersal of genes. In 1965 I measured and weighed 319 eggs collected at Sjolunda near Malmo, southern Sweden. When I go
Objective - To examine whether there were any differences in the recovery in performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) in elderly persons in relation to cognitive impairments pre- and post-stroke from discharge to 6 and 12 months in elderly persons. Methods - Forty-five elderly persons after stroke were assessed at discharge from hospital and at 6 and at 12 months after stroke ons
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enbart i Sverige drabbas tusentals personer årligen, kvinnor som män, av plötsligt cirkulationsbortfall (akut ischemi) i ett ben till följd av blodpropp i en artär. Tillståndet är akut och innebär ett direkt hot mot såväl liv som lem. Personer som drabbas är ofta äldre, och de har ofta många andra sjukdomar med sig i bagaget. För att rädda benet, och patienten, krävs aBackground: Acute ischemia of the lower limb is a vascular emergency associated with amputation and death. Patients suffering from acute limb ischemia are usually elderly, and multiple comorbidities are often present. Intra-arterial thrombolysis is, perhaps, the most important minimal-invasive treatment option available today. Although uncontrolled hemorrhage is a dreaded complication, it is consi
Wnt-5a is a non-transforming Wnt protein. Since Wnt-5a mRNA and protein levels differ within and between tumours, the potential of Wnt-5a as a prognostic factor has been debated. We have previously shown that the lack of Wnt-5a protein is a predictor of shorter disease-free survival in human breast cancer. Recently, however, we also showed that the breast tumours lacking Wnt-5a protein had a high
Title: The important role of the consultant Problematization: In today’s competitive markets it is important to maintain a competitive advantage. One opportunity to do this is by implementing an ERP system to the organization. Many organisations have implemented an ERP system, but a lot have been unsuccessful. Studies have been done to identify the main success factors connected with the impleme
When the Bosnian civil war ended in 1995 by signing the Dayton-peace agreement, the international community imposed so-called liberal peacebuilding, known as the top-down approach. Since this proceeding had brought unsuccessful results, the number of nongovernmental organizations began to increase in order to build a sustainable and more inclusive peace in post-Dayton BiH. This thesis examines th
I first got introduced to wireless power during another school pro- ject that resulted in a wireless charging case. In that project I con- ducted a lot of market and technology research about wireless charging and wireless power in general. During that project I got in contact with a Malmö based company called Nok9. They develope and produce test equipment for developers of wireless power de- v
Norge behöver utöka sin elproduktion för att möta ett framtida ökat elbehov. Vattenkraften i Norge uppskattas endast ha 23 TWh kapacitet kvar att bygga ut och vindkraft har mött starkt motstånd på senare tid. Solkraft finns fortfarande bara på liten skala i landet men uppskattas öka kraftigt i närtid. Solkraft installeras hela tiden längre norrut men än finns ingen storskalig solkraft i norra NorgNorway needs to increase its power production to meet the future increase in electricity use. Hydro power is estimated to only have 23 TWh of additional available capacity and wind power has met strong resistance lately. Solar power is still only implemented on small scale in Norway but is predicted to increase rapidly in the near future. It is steadily being implemented further north, however the
