This thesis includes eight pupils in their final year of a vocational secondary school education, aspiring to become truck drivers, in a small town in southern Sweden. Through a hermeneutic and qualitative methodological approach the main aim was to understand these pupils and their view on matters regarding their training program, environmental problems, transports link to environmental impact, a
The fluctuations of the price in the energy market affect the households, firms and the government intuitions. We can perceive the information of the energy market from daily economic news. The entire society is concerned for the events that affect the energy market and the changing prices of the energy resources. It is thus meaningful and interesting to study the risk of the energy market. This p
En betydande andel av Sveriges företag utgörs idag av fåmansföretag, vilka spelar en avgörande roll för den svenska samhällsekonomin. Det är av stort värde att skapa goda förutsättningar för ägarskiften i befintliga fåmansföretag som möjliggör att upparbetade värden i företag med tillväxtpotential tillvaratas. Fåmansföretag omfattas idag av ett särskilt fördelningssystem, de s.k. 3:12 – reglerna. A significant proportion of Sweden's business currently consists of small companies with few employees, but these companies play a critical role in the Swedish economy. It is crucial to create good conditions for the transfer of ownership within existing private businesses and safeguard growth potential. These close companies are subject to a special regulation, the so called 3:12- rules. The
Popular Abstract in Swedish Överdosens antropologi behandlar narkotikaöverdosens sociala konsekvenser. Eva-Malin Antoniusson har studerat hur olika aktörer i vård- och institutionsmiljöer förhåller sig till överdoser. Forskningen bygger på fältundersökningar i Sverige, USA och Nederländerna. I avhandlingen återges intervjuer med narkomaner som överlevt överdoser eller varit med när andra överdoserThe central theme of this thesis is the nature of heavy drug overdose and its social consequences. The aim of the study is to provide a nuanced ethnographic interpretation on the phenomenon concerning drug overdose, especially among drug users using injections as the principle means of administering the drugs. The field study was localized to institutional milieus, primarily drug addiction treatme
The fusion-evaporation reaction involving a 175 MeV S-36 beam and a Sn-124 target was performed, and the emitted gamma rays were observed with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Significant additions to the level scheme of Gd-152 were made in spite of the relative weakness of the alpha 4n exit channel, being only similar to 2% of the total fusion cross-section. The high-spin behavior of Gd-152 was comp
Until recently, the testing of ODE/DAE software has been limited to simple comparisons and benchmarking. The process of developing software from a mathematically specified method is complex: it entails constructing control structures and objectives, selecting iterative methods and termination criteria, choosing norms and many more decisions. Most software constructors have taken a heuristic approa
Background and aims: Several studies report a high prevalence of memory complaints in the elderly, non-demented population. Since the pathogenesis and diversity of memory impairment in healthy people is still an unresolved issue, we designed our study to ascertain the occurrence of brain abnormalities in Age-Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) by measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Meth
We report the pressure dependence of the crystal structure of lead tetroxide (P less than or equal to 41.05 GPa, T 298 K) using high-resolution angle-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction. Pb3O4 shows two reversible phase transitions in the measured pressure range. The crystal structures of the modifications identified have in common frameworks of Pb+4O6 octahedra and irregular Pb+2O4+1 respectively
Autenticitet ses av vissa forskare som en central del av välbefinnande. Mot bakgrund av detta ville vi fördjupa förståelsen för upplevelsen av autenticitet hos svenska gymnasieungdomar. Inom ramen för projektet “Välbefinnande och självkänsla på gymnasiet” på Lunds universitet genomförde vi semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med sju ungdomar i årskurs tre på gymnasiet om deras erfarenheter av att må Authenticity is viewed by some researchers as a central aspect of well-being. Considering this, we aimed to deepen the understanding of the experience of authenticity among Swedish high-school youths. As part of the research project ”Well-being and self-esteem in high school” at Lund university, we conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with third year high school students about their
Antimicrobial peptides are important effector molecules of the innate immune system. Here, we describe that peptides derived from the heparin-binding disulfide-constrained loop region of human ß-amyloid precursor protein are antimicrobial. The peptides investigated were linear and cyclic forms of NWCKRGRKQCKTHPH (NWC15) as well as the cyclic form comprising the C-terminal hydrophobic amino acid ex
Active micromixers with rotating elements are attractive microfluidic actuators in many applications because of their mixing ability at a short distance. However, miniaturising the impeller design poses technical challenges including the fabrication and driving means. As a possible solution inspired by macro magnetic bar-stirrers, this study proposes the use of tethered, rotating bacteria as mixin
Water calorimetric measurements have been performed in a 180 MeV scanned pulsed proton beam and the absorbed dose determined has been compared with the results obtained using two NE2571 Farmer chambers and the IAEA TRS-398 code of practice. The depth of measurement in water corresponded to a residual range of R-res = 16.5 cm, corresponding to a mean energy of about 150 MeV. Ionization chambers wer
Time-resolved spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions was used in a feasibility study for analysis of solid pharmaceuticals. The objective of the experiments was to study the interaction of light with pharmaceutical solids and to investigate the usefulness of the method as an analytical toot for spectroscopic analysis. In these experiments, a pulsed Ti:sapphire laser and white
Since the signing of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU) in 1993 the European Union has been base on three "&semicpillars"&semic. The European Community falls under the so-called pillar I. Under the terms of the TEU the two pillars on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and on Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) differ from pillar I for they do not share the institu
Liksom en trädstam uppvisar årsringar som kan användas för att beräkna dess ålder, bildas också tillväxtringar i tänderna hos många djur, även hos dem som regelbundet byter tanduppsättning. Detta fenomen noterades av paleontologen Richard Owen redan i mitten av 1800-talet, men det är först de senaste decennierna som forskningen inom tandersättningscykler hos utdöda djur har tagit fart. Så kalladeThe dentine of teeth from five genera of mosasaurs [i.e., Clidastes, Halisaurus, Dollosaurus (Prognathodon),cf. Platecarpus, and Tylosaurus] and a Mesozoic crocodylian (Aigialosuchus) from the Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin, southernmost Sweden, displays two types of incremental growth lines; i.e., von Ebner’s and, for the first time in extinct animals, Andresen’s lines. These lines are homol
Credibility assessment of testimony is a very important part in the asylum adjudication procedure. The credibility assessment is intended to tell decision-makers whether they should accept the facts as supported by the applicant’s statement. Only those parts of the statement which are recognized as credible will then be considered in determining the validity of the asylum claim. This thesis exam
Då naturens resurser förbrukas i allt större takt har inställningen till ekologiska produkter blivit ett väldigt aktuellt ämne. Denna studie ämnar undersöka konsumenters inställning till ekologiska varor samt vilka faktorer som motiverar dem till att köpa ekologiska produkter med utgångspunkt från the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Som komplement till TPB har den emotionella variabeln anticipaThe growing scarcity of the Earth´s natural resources has made organic products into an important topic worldwide. The aim of this study is to examine which factors that motivate individuals to consume organic products, by using an extended version of the theory of planned behaviour which includes the emotional variable anticipated regret. A multiple regression analysis was performed on the data c
The main purpose of this master thesis is to identify the issues concerning the transformation process of a product oriented company into a service oriented company, and how these issues can be overcome. We will exemplify this by developing a dewatering pump rental concept for ABS, and identify the drivers and barriers for ABS when implementing the service oriented rental concept in Sweden and Pol
Bakgrund: Många idrottare är i behov av kraft och explosivitet i benmuskulaturen. Ett sätt att utvärdera dessa egenskaper hos en idrottare är genom ett Counter Movement Jump (CMJ). Att använda sig av ett CMJ vid mätning av explosivitet i den koncentriska fasen med MuscleLabsystemet har visat sig vara en reliabel mätmetod. Utbudet av studier som undersöker den excentriska fasen i ett CMJ är begräns
