På senare år har profilering blivit allt vanligare bland alla typer av organisationer, även bland myndigheter såsom lärosäten. Vi har valt att studera Lunds universitet samt Malmö högskola och vill med vår uppsats bidra till en ökad förståelse för lärosätenas image bland studenter. Vi vill också undersöka hur medarbetarna på lärosätenas informationsavdelningar ser på lärosätenas profil. Därmed ämn

Arbetet som nu pågår inom EU syftar till att minska den administrativa bördan för företagen genom enklare regler för de europeiska företagen som regelförändringar inom bolagsrätt, redovisning och revision. I de flesta medlemsländer inom EU har antingen revisionsplikt aldrig funnits eller ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten för små och medelstora företag (SME) redan skett. Utvecklingen är i enlighe

This thesis aim to describe and analyze various perspectives of working with gender equality in administrative work and policy-making in both Sweden and the European Union. The first part of the thesis will give an introduction to the reader and present the theoretic platform of this work. The second part discusses and introduces a historic overview of the development of gender equality as a polit

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur försäkringstagaren, vid skada på byggnad, ska ersättas ur företagsförsäkringen respektive konsumentförsäkringen. När skada uppkommer på byggnad tillämpas värderingsreglerna i kapitel 6 i FAL för att bestämma storleken på försäkringsersättningen. Den metod som stadgas i FAL är dagsvärdemetoden. Ersättning enligt dagsvärdet anses motsvara återanskaffningsThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the insured shall be compensated by the insurance companies, in regards to damages to buildings. When a building is damaged the rules of valuation, found in chapter 6 of FAL (the Swedish Insurance Act), will be applied to determine the amount of the reimbursement. The method that is provided in FAL is the current value method. Compensation according t

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sahel kallas området i Afrika som sträcker sig från Atlanten i väst till Röda havet i öst och utgör gränsen mellan Saharas öken i norr och de fuktigare tropiska områdena längre söderut. Området är torrt och nederbörden faller oregelbundet. Under 1970- och 1980-talet drabbades området av svår torka med svält som följd. Studier visar att en ökad mängd nederbörd deSahel is the southern fringe of the Sahara desert. It is an arid region with erratic precipitation. During the 1970s and 1980s Sahel was afflicted with severe droughts and famine disasters. Since the 1970s there has been a debate concerning the concept of land degradation and desertification in Sahel. Recent findings suggest a positive trend in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), estima

The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether EQ-5D is a valid measure of Health Related Quality of Life of psoriasis patients. The objective was carried out by investigating the correlation between the EuroQol EQ-5D and two other Health Related Quality of Life measures, Dermatology Life Quality Index and a Visual Analogue Scale assessed by the patient, as well as two clinical outcome measu

The theory of the Investment Development Path (IDP) by John H. Dunning suggests that as a country develops, its composition of inward and outward foreign direct investment change both regarding to quantity and type of investment. The theory consists of 5 stages a country passes as its OLI-advantages develop. In this paper we have applied the theory of the IDP on the case of Brazil in order to eval

Inkomster i inkomstslaget kapital kan erhållas i form av löpande avkastning samt i form av kapitalvinst vid avyttring av tillgångar. Det är endast privatpersoner som beskattas i inkomstslaget kapital med en skatt på 30 procent. Juridiska personer skall redovisa sina kapitalinkomster i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet. Vissa av beskattningsreglerna i inkomstslaget kapital skall dock tillämpas för juIncomes can be obtained in form of current income and in form of capital gains on disposal of assets, in the income category capital. It´s only natural persons who are taxed in the income category capital with a tax rate of 30 percent. Juridical person shall report their capital income in the income category business tax. When juridical persons are calculating the taxable capital income they shoul

In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l

“Catalysis” is a field of science that relates to the increase of the rate of a chemicalreaction through the involvement of an additional substance, known as “catalyst”,which acts without being consumed. Among all known types, heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst is in different phase than the reactants, plays a pivotal role in the sustainable development of the modern society with its domiSupported gold nanoparticles are emerging as an important class of catalysts for various organic transformations due to their tunable properties. This thesis embraces the fundamental studies of supported gold nanoparticles for different organic reactions from the viewpoint of understanding the role of synthesis methods, nature of carriers, and addition of second metal on the properties and functio

Protein interactions are important in understanding various protein relevant cellular and technological processes.This is a challenging task due to the intrinsically irregular shape and inhomogeneous surface distribution of neutral, charged, hydrophobic amino acid residues. This results inmore or less anisotropic interactions depending on external parameters such assalt and pH.

Inom fysiken används ofta hårda sfärer som modellsystem för att beskriva beteenden och strukturer hos grundläggande byggstenar såsom atomer och molekyler. Dessa sfärer kan ses som en samling biljardbollar och kan därav bara organiseras på ett begränsat antal sätt. Med den ökade förståelsen för många komplexa fysikaliska fenomen och den snabbt växande utvecklingen av nya material behövs modellsysteSoft and deformable ionic microgels such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid), PNIPAM-co-AA, microgels have shown to be a versatile alternative to the already well-established hard sphere model systems. Their tuneable interaction potential makes them well suited as model systems to study the phase behaviour found for particles interacting via a soft isotropic potential. This stems from t

Projektet HITS/Transparens utforskar hur frivillig användning av informations- och kommunikationsteknologi av privata aktörer kan förbättra informationstransparens i transport av farligt gods. Detta tillvägagångssätt skiljer sig från en lång rad projekt som sedan 80-talet haft ett centralt myndighetsperspektiv på informationshantering kring farligt gods. I linje med tidigare resultat inom forsknin

Under 1970-talet genomfördes en rad förändringar i lagar och avtal som berörde arbetsmiljöns område. Ett arbetsmiljöavtal slöts mellan LO, SAF och PTK 1976. Skyddsombudens ställning stärktes 1973 genom förändringar i arbetarskyddslagen, och under 1978 infördes en helt ny arbetsmiljölag med ett vidgat arbetsmiljöbegrepp som även inkluderade den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Året dessförinnan kom en ny

Previous research has described that disordered eating (DE) is common in adolescents, especially in girls. DE is defined as maladaptive behaviours (e.g., vomiting) and negative attitudes toward eating and one’s body shape, appearance, and weight. The present thesis had several aims. First, to validate a Swedish version of a Danish 8-item screening inventory, Risk Behaviour for Eating Disorders/RiB

The present research front of NbO2 based memory, energy generation, and storage thin film devices is reviewed. Sputtering plasmas contain NbO, NbO2, and NbO3 clusters, affecting nucleation and growth of NbO2, often leading to a formation of nanorods and nanoslices. NbO2 (I41/a) undergoes the Mott topological transition at 1081 K to rutile (P42/mnm), yielding changes in the electronic structure, whThe present research front of NbO2 based memory, energy generation, and storage thin film devices is reviewed.

In recent decades, we have witnessed an increasing use of projects and similar temporary modes of organising in the public sector of nations in Europe and around the world. While for some this is a welcome development which unlocks entrepreneurial zeal and renders public services more flexible and accountable, others argue that this seeks to depoliticise policy initiatives, rendering them increasi

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that is, desorption give higher equilibrium moisture contents than absorption at equal ambient climate conditions. Sorption hysteresis is commonly evaluated by determination of an absorption isotherm followed by desorption sSorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity.
