The aim was to evaluate an early prototype of a personalised home lighting system comprising body-worn loggers, a mobile phone, and LED-based lighting with variable intensity and colour temperature. A convenience sample (N = 28, 50% female) wore the devices for 24 hours in the field and were given a demonstration of the lighting system components in a full-scale model of a studio apartment. Partic
AbstractObjectives It is unclear how home environmental factors influence relocation decisions. We examined whether indoor accessibility, entrance accessibility, bathroom safety features, housing type, and housing condition were associated with relocations either within the community or to residential care facilities.MethodsWe used prospective data over 4 years from the nationally representative NObjectivesIt is unclear how home environmental factors influence relocation decisions.

The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how benchmarking as a tool is being practiced in the Swedish hotel sector, and also to study what potentials and abilities for learning and development there are. In order to fulfill the purpose we have compared how selected hotels apply benchmarking in practice. We applied a qualitative method with a deductive approach in terms of a multiple cas
This thesis research whether mergers and acquisitions in the renewable energy industry create value for the acquiring firms’ shareholders. To research this, an event study methodology has been employed where three different event windows are studied in the short term, and one event window is studied in the long term. All acquirers are listed in either Europe or the US, and the short-term samples c

Since the middle of the nineties, the amount of Regional Trade Agreements has risen sharply. This have created more opportunities for countries to join world trading and be more connected to the rest of the world. However, each trade agreement is unique and it is therefore interesting to evaluate if there are factors that are more important than others. This paper will be looking at combined GDP a
Reglerna som styr civila aspekter på olovligt bortförande av barn enligt 1980 års Haagkonvention om de civila aspekterna på internationella bortföranden av barn är inte fullt kompatibla med de rättigheter som följer av Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter . Trots barnets centrala roll i ett olovligt bortförande eller kvarhållande uppstår ett dilemma när 1980 års Haagkonvention skaThe rules governing civil aspects of the unlawful abduction of children under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction are not fully compatible with the rights deriving from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Despite the child's central role in an unlawful abduc-tion or detention, a dilemma arises when the 1980 Hague Convention is t
Complex space components are getting more important as the request for high precision space missions is increasing. The main contribution to vibrations on a satellite is the reaction wheels, the primary actuator in the attitude control of the satellite. One of the main sources of vibrations is torque ripple which is caused by various reasons, one being the control algorithm. This thesis focuses on

In recent years, experimental studies on gender assignment to borrowings in languages such as German and Dutch have observed variation in gender assignment in relation to dialectal areas, among other factors. However, many issues related to gender assignment have yet to be fully understood, and the sociolinguistic variation has not been properly investigated. The objective of the present study is
SOU 2014:40 innebär avdragsbegränsningsregler för finansiella kostnader, bland annat finansiella leasingtransaktioner. Grundtanken bakom detta är att utjämna skillnaderna i den skattemässiga behandlingen av eget och lånat kapital. Ett ytterligare skäl till att avskaffa avdragsrätten för räntor är att det har förekommit omfattande skatteplanering med ränteavdrag som har visat sig svår att motverka.If the proposed changes in SOU 2014:40 are implemented it will impose limitations on deductions for ”financial expenses”. This process will mean limitations for deductions related to financial leasing. The idea behind this is to lessen the difference that exists between the taxation of equity and borrowed capital. Another reason behind the proposed changes is the large extent to which the current
More and more often we hear about animals as a part of social work. The idea of animals having positive effects on peoples’ physical and psychological health seem to be generally accepted among both active practitioners in the human service professions and the general public. We established two main purposes. First we examined which effects of animal assisted social work the active practitioners i
