A large number of literatures and practitioners have investigated the relationship between social associations and the aggregate economic performance. Most of the studies have confirm the positive effect of social associations on economic performance in the democratic world. However, even though the social organization in China has been in rapid development, similar studies concerning China remain
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are periodic semiconductor heterostructures, capable of producing laser gain. They have become an important source of coherent radiation in the mid infrared, and THz frequency regions. QCLs are non-linear electric devices, and often have bias regions of negative differential resistivity (NDR). These regions are inherently unstable, and electric field domains (EFDs) fo
Cities affected by the impacts of climate change have to find new ways to adapt to the variability in weather patterns, such as heavy rainfalls and storms. The coastal city Malmö, a former industrial city, aims to be carbon neutral by 2020 and provided by 100 percent renewable energies in 2030. However, Malmö is facing many environmental and socio-economic challenges. One of these challenges is to
Denna uppsatsen undersöker, genom en kvalitativ fallstudie, tidningsartiklar under perioden 12 oktober till 7 november, 2016, som berör rapporteringen kring clownhysterin.

Within the frame of this analysis, I further wish to examine the hypothesis that the post-conciliar concept of revelation holds a constructive potential applicable within Swedish theological discourse. As a result of this, the following main question, enabling a christologica
Abstract The ESSSB (European Spallation Source Neutrino Super beam) is a proposed long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, intended to use the same proton accelerator as the European Spallation Source. With the pro- posed modications to the accelerator both ESSSB and the ESS would achieve a beam power of 5 MW. This power, in conjunction with the dis- covery of a large value of the mixing ang
This essay provides an understanding of why a teacher of English in Sweden can use the novel Emma (1994) and the film Clueless (1995), in comparison, to describe and use Marxist literary theory in the classroom. As there are various ways of teaching the English language to adolescents, using literature and film provides a chance for teachers to teach new terminology connected to critical theory, a
Uppsatsen syftade till att skapa och testa ett enkelt verktyg att använda inom organisationer för att öka anställdas välbefinnande och förbättra upplevelsen av psykologiska, sociala och organisatoriska arbetsförhållanden. Med teoretisk utgångspunkt i positiv psykologi skapades en tre veckor lång arbetsplatsintervention. De 32 deltagarna var administrativ personal hos en politisk organisation indelThe aim of this study was to create and test a simple tool to use within organizations to increase employee well-being and improve the experience of psychological, social and organizational working conditions. With help of theory from positive psychology, a three week workplace intervention was created. The 32 participants were administrative employees of a political organization, divided into one
I studien undersöks företags styrelsesammansättning med hänsyn till dess påverkan på agentkostnader bland bolag noterade på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large-cap. Styrelsesammansättning är i denna studie likställd med antalet styrelseledamöter och andelen kvinnliga ledamöter. Med agentkostnader avses måttet Asset Utilization Ratio. Studien påvisar ett signifikant negativt samband mellan andelen kvinnor
Hur ser rasistisk och förlöjligande humor ut år 2016? Denna fallstudie undersöker hur humorn blir ett redskap för att förlöjliga den etniska gruppen ostasiater i västerländska media: humor som redskap för att förlöjliga den andre.

In order to acquire a better method for its diagnosis, first the mutations causing the different types of the disorder were recorded. Secondly, the variance in the concentration of the von Willebrand
