The study develops a panel data framework to highlight the relationship between income inequality and macroeconomic and demographic factors. The macroeconomic variables are selected with regard to previous research and tested for significance. Some proved to be significantly relevant for the final regression and some were excluded. Overall, based on the available data we can show that income inequ
The aim of this study was to explore trans people’s feelings and thoughts about coming out as transgender to their environment in order to create a deeper understanding about the process of coming out. A qualitative method was applied to study nine different stories written by trans people, taken from three different websites. The study showed that the writers discussed factors such as worries abo
When developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area of use is of the utmost importance. However, Testing a UI for a bike in a traffic environment can be both difficult and risky. This thesis aims to solve this problem by developing a VR application in which UIs can be compared and evaluated in a controlled environment. This was completed by following the principals of a
This paper examines the how and why of a seizure riot in the small southern Swedish town of Ystad in the year 1835. The riots involved approximately one fourth or one fifth of all grown men in the city and members from all social classes. The primary source is the court records from the ensuing trial. Hermeneutics was used for interpreting the court records. Further analysis of the actions and the
Vikten av ledares förståelse för hur medarbetares olikheter kan tas tillvara inom organisationer uppmärksammas allt mer i nutida forskning. Att leda olikheter på ett sätt där alla känner sig inkluderade kan dock vara komplext och relationen mellan inkludering och ledarskap är ännu inte tillräckligt utforskad. Uppsatsens syfte är därav att utifrån HR-praktikers upplevelser analysera relationen mell
Denna uppsats syftade till att undersöka om det fanns några skillnader avseende utbrändhet beroende på kön, civilstatus eller om en hade hemmavarande barn. Datan samlades in genom en online-enkät som utgick från Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Vårt resultat visade att det fanns en interaktionseffekt för kön och barn, närmare bestämt att män med barn hade signifikant mindre utbrändhetssymtom än män u
Tidigare forskning har visat att det akademiska fältet är under förändring. Thomas Brante identifierar tre strukturella handlingslogiker, 1) Den professionella logiken, 2) den nya ekonomiska logiken och 3) den politisk-administrativa logiken. Detta ger upphov till fyra olika utvecklingstrender, 1) krav på granskning, 2) ekonomisk styrning, 3) marknadisering och 4) homogenisering av akademin. Enlig
This study shows how nineteen different Scanian municipalities work with their financial methods to receive resources for their work with nature conservation. One employee from each municipality working with or close to nature conservation answered a survey about how municipalities finance nature conservation. The results from the survey show that the methods each municipality is using differ quit
Konflikter är vanligt förekommande i arbetslivet och går inte helt att undvika, dock kan en del vara önskvärda att förebygga. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, utifrån ett chefsperspektiv, beskriva och analysera hur chefer arbetar med att förebygga konflikter. Särskilt uppmärksammas kommunikation, arbetsplatskultur och chefsrollen. Studien har utgått ifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv och empirin har s
Bakgrund: Tiden efter intensivvård kan upplevas påfrestande och på grund av Covid-19 vårdas allt flera personer på intensivvårdsavdelningar. Dessa personer kan komma att uppleva psykisk samt fysisk ohälsa efter vårdtiden vilket sjuksköterskan i sin profession måste kunna bemöta. Enligt omvårdnadsteoretikern Katie Eriksson kan patienten uppleva fysisk och psykisk ohälsa oavsett om hen anses vara ob
Enterprise Risk Management is implemented in various sectors and context. What is really know about ERM and how has the concept progressed parallel to risk research in general? This master thesis investigates some general aspects of ERM and what specific aspects of risk management research is present in current scientific literature. The thesis will consist of a scoping study and a practical imple
The aim of this study is to understand how individuals construct their workplace at home, while they work from home digitally during the corona pandemic. The method through which the study has been conducted in order to achieve its aim is qualitative interviews. These were constructed to be held in the digital format of a digital communication software. The same format in which all e-workers have
The generation of new neurons from neural stem cells, also known as neurogenesis, persists throughout life in the two adult neurogenic niches, the subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ) but sharply decreases with aging. The reservoir of stem cells, as well as the intermediate progenitor population of neuroblasts and newly formed neurons declines with aging. However, not much is known
Trots att Sverige är ett land som brukar ligga i framkant av teknologisk utveckling och digitalisering så kan den svenska bygglovsprocessen anses vara förlegad jämfört med hur processen ser ut i andra länder. Medan många länder världen över erbjuder möjligheten att skicka in digitala BIM-filer (Building Information Modelling), så erbjuder svenska kommuner på sin höjd möjligheten att e-posta in han
Although attached dead branches in tree canopies provide a continuous supply of dead wood throughout the lifetimes of trees it is a resource often neglected in dead wood research due to the inaccessibility of tree crowns. Biotic and abiotic factors in canopies differ from the ones on the forest floor and provides different living conditions for organisms associated with dead wood. In this study I
The notion of personalities in animals has been used as a means of contextualizing consistent trends in behavior. To be classified as a personality, the behavior must be both consistent over time, and have a heritable component. Research into the personality of boldness, particularly in the defense of the nest, and the relation it has with provisioning young, has yielded insights into behavioral c
Simple vision and the non-visual photoreceptors precursors have given rise to an evolutionary arms race in spatial vision. Chitons have non-visual photoreceptors, called aesthetes, but in some species aesthetes lack pigmentation therefore the function is uncertain, although prevailing theory is that they are photosensory. Here I provide support for this theory using the robust shadow response of L
Arctic ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to climate warming due to large-scale changes in temperature, followed by altered community structure. Northern birds are subject to population reduction and range contraction in Europe and many mountainous birds show negative trends. Even if global trends are clear, local studies on a detailed level are needed to obtain more information on possible
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are being created around the world as the concern on species and habitats preservation is growing. A widespread concern related to the important lack of regulation and effective conservation measures has been raised, calling the attention to the importance of no-take areas within MPA’s. To justify more restrictive management decisions, it is essential to collect data
