Denna undersökning rör frågan om vilket inflytande förkastningarna i de tektoniska Polotsk- Kurzeme och Småland-Blekingezonerna utövat på det överlagrande sedimenttäckets och den nutida topografins utbildning. Syftet var att bestämma karaktären av denna påverkan och dess tänkbara orsaker. De huvudsakliga undersökningsområdena utgjordes av Polotskdelen av Polotsk-Kurzeme deformationszonen i norra VThis is a study of the influence of the crystalline basement faults of the Polotsk-Kurzeme and the Småland-Blekinge Deformation Zones on the development of the sedimentary cover and the formation of the present topography. The purpose is to define the character and possible causes of this influence. The key target areas of this study are the Polotsk part of the Polotsk-Kurzeme Deformation Zone in

Arbetsgivaren har en rehabiliteringsskyldighet gentemot sina anställda, enligt arbetsmiljölagen och socialförsäkringsbalken. När en arbetstagare drabbas av en sjukdom eller får en nedsatt arbetsförmåga, lägger lagen och praxis ett stort ansvar på arbetsgivaren, försäkringskassan och arbetstagaren själv. Det är dock arbetsgivaren som har huvudansvaret vad gäller den arbetslivsinriktade rehabiliteri

The thesis will present and analyze different roles women actors in Northern Ireland took upon themselves during the period known as ”The Troubles” (1969- 1998).

Sweden, amongst others, is usually considered a small state in a greater European context. Small state influence in the European Union (EU) is a research field filled with vast potential and possibilities. This study focuses on Swedish influence on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CSFP) of the EU and the different strategies that small states may apply in order to obtain influence in intern

Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera, beskriva och analysera studenternas rörelsemönster i rummet, och hur det återspeglas i konkurrensen och attraktionen mellan Lund City och handelsetableringarna Nova Lund och Mobilia. Vi valde en kvantitativ metod i form av enkätundersökning för insamling av empiriskt material, då vi ville samla in information från ett så stort antal studenter som möjligt.

Tidigare forskning visade på att ledarskapsstilarna i CPE-modellen (Change-, Production- & Employee-centered leadership) är olika effektiva. Annan forskning visade att tidigare prestationer har en positiv korrelation till collective efficacy. Sambandet mellan CPE-modellen och collective efficacy inom idrottslag har däremot inte undersökts. Studiens frågeställning var därför att undersöka hur dPrevious research showed that the three leadership styles in the CPE-model (Change-, Production- & Employee-centered leadership) varies in efficiency. Further research showed that prior performances has a positive correlation with collective efficacy. The relationship between the CPE-model and collective efficacy, however has not been researched. This study, therefore, aimed at answering wheth

Sanctions have become a frequently used tool of political interactions around the globe, and the U.S. is he leading countries when it comes to imposing economic sanctions. While the intention of economic sanctions is to put pressure on the target to alter its behaviour, research has shown that economic sanctions can have negative effects even on the sender country. Utilising a difference-in-differ

The Oxytocin Me! project has proven to be a response to the nowadays increasing focus on high technology. The topic I have chosen is both a health and social matter: stress. In this regard, I have developed a stress relieving product that should challenge people to use their body’s own natural resources. The result is an ergonomic hug cushion that should stimulate the body to produce oxytocin hor

Grammatisk förmåga i skolåldern har inte utretts på ett utförligt sätt för svenskspråkiga barn. Det finns heller inga tydliga svar kring hur den grammatiska förmågan hos barn med autismspektrumtillstånd utan utvecklingsstörning (AST) ter sig i denna ålder, samt ifall denna förmåga skiljer sig från den hos barn med typisk utveckling (TU). Föreliggande studie avsåg bidra inom detta kunskapsfält geno

I denna studie undersöktes huruvida en stund av väntan med eller utan mobiltelefon innan en kreativ uppgift påverkade den kreativa förmågan samt känslan av hoppfullhet. Studien utgick ifrån vardagens väntestunder, pauser som uppkommer dagligen där vi tvingas vänta på något (exempelvis på bussen, mötet, middagen, hissen) och så får en oplanerad sysslolös stund. I studien undersöktes sextiosex gymnaThis study explored how a break with or without a mobile phone before engaging in a creative task would affect the creative outcome and the feeling of hope. The study took its base in the moments of everyday life, the little breaks that we experience everyday where we are forced to wait for something or someone (e.g. for the bus, the meeting, dinner or elevator) and this becomes an unplanned inact

Every year billions of people get affected by floods and the economic losses are among the highest when it comes to natural disasters. Depending on your social class the consequences of a flood can vary greatly. An urban flood resilience index, S-FRESI, can be used to identify extra sensitive areas and strengthen these neighborhoods to create a more resilient society.

It is increasingly evident that the centre of gravity of international relations is shifting in the direction of Asia. China’s economic and political rise is the single most important dimension of this development. This coincides with fading American hegemony, obvious during, but in essence not limited to, the Trump Presidency. These actor-level changes take place within a context of structural chIt is increasingly evident that the centre of gravity of international relations is shifting in the direction of Asia.

Bakgrund: Intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF) är en utvecklingsneurologisk funktionsnedsättning med brister i kognition och nedsatt adaptiv förmåga. Orsaken kan bero på ärftlighet, kromosomförändring, sjukdom eller skada i hjärnan. Patienter med IF har ofta nedsatt kommunikationsförmåga och är ofta beroende av personer runtomkring som kan tolka behoven. En del av distriktssköterskors ansvar är

The role of emotions in qualitative research receives increasing attention. We argue for an activerather than a reactive approach towards emotions to improve the quality of research; emotionsare a vital source of information and researchers use emotions strategically. Analysing the emotionwork of researchers in the process of gaining, securing and maintaining access to the Swedishjudiciary, we pro
