This master's thesis reports on our investigation of how the public librarian's professional identity is formed and what it is formed of. We have considered factors such as: education, competence and daily tasks. In order to fulfil this aim we have used a literature study on concepts such as competence, education, professional identity and profession. We have also carried out an empirical

This thesis is the result of a case study which has its starting point in the fact that mergers and acquisitions are characterized by a high level of risk and often fail to reach stated goals such as leverage of synergy, many times due to the inability of integrating the concerned organization’s information systems. Existing problem perspectives do not include what could be a factor contributing t

In the 1930s and 1940s, Ukraine experienced political violence on an unprecedented scale. Political violence by the Soviet government and the German occupation authorities resulted in the death of millions, through starvation, deportations, and massacres, and left wounds which still have not fully healed. Independently of the Soviets and Nazis, mass political violence was carried out also by the O

The chapter provides a historic overview of the research in physics and chemistry for the development of radionuclides, radiopharmaceuticals, and instrumentation which have had a major impact for the today’s status of nuclear medicine. During the first half of the 20th century in particular, a number of researchers with relevance to the development of nuclear medicine have been awarded the Nobel P

Health system resilience, known as the ability for health systems to absorb, adapt or transform to maintain essential functions when stressed or shocked, has quickly gained popularity following shocks like COVID-19. The concept is relatively new in health policy and systems research and the existing research remains mostly theoretical. Research to date has viewed resilience as an outcome that can

Sweden needs affordable housing solutions to counteract segregation and isolation whilst promoting resilient cities. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the conditions for being and sharing with others. The aim of the article is to explore residents practices of inhabiting, sharing and being involved in existing collaborative housing during the pandemic. The article conceptualizes collaborative hous

När skottskogsbruket/stubbskottsängsbruket upphörde i början av 1800-talet försvann även landskapet som humlesugan, Betonica officinalis L., var anpassad till. Från att ha varit allmän på sydvästra Lolland och i västra Mellanskåne blev den mycket sällsynt inom dessa kärnområden i humlesugans tidigare utbred- ning i Skandinavien. Ändå lyckades den överleva på sju lokaler. För att bevara dessa krävsWhen coppice forestry and the use of wooded meadows ceased in the early 19th century, the landscape to which Betony, Betonica officinalis L., was adapted also disappeared. From being common in southwestern Lolland and in western Mid­Skåne, it became very rare in these core areas of Betony’s earlier distribution in Scandi­ navia. However, the species has managed to survive at seven localities and t

Rapid urbanization has dramatically increased housing demand in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. To alleviate housing shortage, the city of Hanoi has developed a housing program of which the major part is housing development through new urban area projects. New urban area, or new town, projects are large-scale developments designed mainly for residential purposes, with integrated infrastructure

All biological information is located in the genome. However, not all of the genome is available for transcription at all times. In the nucleus, genomic DNA is tightly packed around histones which are further packed into nucleosomes and chromatin. The packing of DNA inhibits transcription factors from transcribing the underlying DNA. To make the DNA more accessible, the packing can be modified in

This study investigates changes in the composition of vascular plants on a steep hill with rich grassland flora, situated within a large horse-grazed pasture, in southwestern Scania, Sweden. Abundance data for 149 plant species, collected within 220 square-meter plots in both 1982 and 2014, were related to a set of species indicator values (mostly Ellenberg values) as well as plot-specific data on

Developmental hematopoiesis differs from adult and is far less described. In the developing embryo, waves of lineage-restricted blood precede the ultimate emergence of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (dHSCs) capable of maintaining hematopoiesis throughout life. During the last two decades, the advent of single-cell genomics has provided tools to circumvent previously impeding characteristics o

The conterminous marine system of the Bering Sea serves as an important connection between the Pacific and the Arctic. Surface water temperatures of the Northern Pacific have been rising over the past decades with associated changes in extremes: marine heatwaves (MHWs). This study aims to explore the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and occurrence mechanisms of MHWs in the Bering Sea. Our

An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical

Denna uppsats behandlar företrädesrätt till återanställning och hur den påverkas av möjligheten att hyra in arbetskraft. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur företrädesrätten regleras, huruvida inhyrning av arbetskraft kan vara ett kringgående av lagen samt hur företrädesrätten påverkas av inhyrning av arbetskraft. För att uppnå detta används en rättsdogmatisk metod. Företrädesrätt till återaThis paper examines the priority right to re-employment and how it is affected by the possibility to hire temporary workers. The purpose is to investigate the regulation of the priority right to re-employment; whether hiring of temporary workers can be considered a circumvention of the law; and how the practice of hiring temporary workers impacts the priority right. This is achieved by using a leg

Forskningen har hittills visat på spridda resultat över hur Social Networking Sites (SNS) och psykisk ohälsa hänger samman. Det har inom fältet efterfrågats studier med experimentell design, således var syftet med aktuell studie att experimentellt undersöka kvalitet och kvantitet av SNS-användande och dess kausala samband med depression, ångest, stress, självkänsla, upplevd ensamhet, medveten närv
