Recently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Llndahl, 2013). The challenges encountered by archaeologists remain the huge ceramic assemblages, which are however, central in defining group identities in southern African Iron Age studies. but whose analyses Is always rel

Workplace incivility is a pervasive issue with implications for employee well-being. Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory, this study explores the association between experienced workplace incivility, need satisfaction, and work motivation and investigates whether workplace incivility is negatively associated with autonomous work motivation. We hypothesize that experiencing workplace incivility

A receiver receives information from a physical broadcast channel signal, wherein the receiver includes a blind processing and decoding unit that utilizes a hypothesis about how many transmit antennas were used to transmit the signal. Received signal characteristics are detected that indicate how many transmit antennas were used.

Stability constants, βn, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, for the chloro and bromo complexes of palladium(II) have been calculated, using a least squares programme, from spectrophotometric measurements at 222, 234.5 and 279 nm (chloride) and at 247, 265, and 332 nm (bromide). The following values of lg(βn/M−n) were obtained: 4.47±0.01, 7.76±0.04, 10.17±0.07, and 11.54±0.09 (chloride) and 5.17±0.02, 9.42±0.04, 12.7

Train delays are often monitored using lag indicators of achieved punctuality levels, but indicators can also be used proactively as lead indicators to help reach a certain level of punctuality. In this paper, two lead indicators – the share of delayed dwell times and the share of delayed run times – are formulated and tested on Swedish commuter train data for the years 2001-2020. Results show tha

Popular Abstract in Swedish När man förenar idéerna “status” och “konsumtion” tänker många automatiskt på dyra varumärken, konspikuös lyx, bling-bling och spektakulär extravaganza. Inte minst i fallet “hem” går associationerna till Hollywood-stjärnor, enorma villor, kända arkitekter, swimming pools och dyr möbeldesign-hysteri. Men, givet att de flesta människor inte har medlen, och kanske mer viktWhen lumping the notions of “status” and “consumption” together, people often think of expensive brands, conspicuous luxury, bling-bling and spectacular extravaganza. Not least in the case of the “home,” such associations go to Hollywood stars, spacious mansions, famous architects, swimming pools, and high-priced furniture design frenzy. But given that most people don’t have the means, and perhaps

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en bred och kritisk översikt av litteraturen och forskningen angående inlärning av uttal och språkljud. De problem som framför allt vuxna har med att lära sig uttalet i ett främmande språk diskuteras och de olika hypotesen granskas. Jag argumenterar att inlärning är i stort sett en härmningsprocess. Två modeller av inlärning presenteras. DThis work is concerned with the acquisition of the phonetic characteristics of languages and dialects, and with the issue of learner talent or individual achievement in learning second languages. Following a survey of the literature on language learning limits, it is argued that the concentration on group trends in most of the existing literature, whilst convenient, serves more to obscure the reas

Swedishness, Catholicism and European IntegrationThe position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. In my article, I The position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. This article discuss this process of change and its impact on Swed

Prehistorische culturen waren al gefascineerd door de manier waarop de sterren, planeten en kometen zich aan de hemel voortbewThe space astrometry mission Gaia, planned for launch in 2013 by the European Space Agency (ESA), will provide the most comprehensive and accurate catalogue of astrometric data for galactic and astrophysical research in the coming decades. It will observe roughly one billion stars, quasars and other point like objects for which the five astrometric parameters (position, parallax and proper motion)

Fordonens körmönster, dvs hastighets- och accelerationsmönster påverkar mängden utsläpp i hög grad. I tidigare studier har parametern andel kraftig acceleration (a>1,5m/s2) visat sig ha en signifikant effekt framför allt för avgasutsläpp av NOx och HC men även för bränsleförbrukningen. Ett förarstöd som styr accelerationen kan därmed ha en positiv effekt för att minska emissioner och bränsleförbru

Artikeln påminner svensk praktisk teologi om dess historiskt givna identitet samt visar att denna identitet härleds ur ett bestämt encyklopediskt sammanhang. Utgångspunkten för den encyklopediska bestämningen är att akademisk teologi är en i Schleiermachers mening positiv vetenskap, vars uppgift är att främja kyrka och kristendom. I denna positiva vetenskap har den praktiska teologin rollen av proThe purpose of this article is to remind Practical Theology in Sweden of its historically given identity and to show that this identity derives from a welldefined encyclopedic context. The point of departure is that theology is a positive science, in the sense used by Friedrich Schleiermacher: a science directed towards a specific goal, which in theology's case is the wellinformed government of th

Vildsvin är ett omdiskuterat djurslag i Sverige. Många ser dem som ett uppskattat inslag i naturen, dels som jaktbyte och dels för att de bidrar till naturupplevelser, skogstillväxt och biologisk mångfald. Samtidigt orsakar de skador på jord- och skogsbruk, villatomter och grönområden samt trafikolyckor. Dessa kostnader drabbar ofta andra än dem som anser sig dra nytta av vildsvinens existens. Und

Denna uppsats argumenterar för behovet av mer forskning, förståelse och medvetenhet kring destruktiva konsekvenser av ledarskap. Företag drabbas i dag av nedskärningar, stora förändringar och hög grad av arbetsbelastning. Dessa faktorer skapar tillsammans en grogrund för mellanmänskliga konflikter inom företagen, varför ledarskap får sig en allt större och mer betydelsefull roll. Genom att utforsk

Bakgrund: I ett samhälle där individer bryr sig allt mer om hur produkter och tjänster produceras, rättvisemärkning och ekologiska produkter genomförs det samtidigt mer forskning inom ämnet CSR. En aspekt som däremot är underutforskad är vad ett företags samhällsansvar har för betydelse för arbetstagare. Om individer bryr sig mer om samhället när de konsumerar, borde det inte ha en betydelse när d

Svensk sammanfattning I och med inträdandet av en avkriminalisering beträffande homosexualiteten i juli 1944 kom homosexuella handlingar att inte längre ses som något brottsligt. Kampen mot jämställdhet slutade inte där, det skulle dröja fram till 1979 innan homosexualiteten ströks ur Socialstyrelsens listor över sjukdomsbegrepp. Idag har homosexuella bland annat rätt att ingå äktenskap och adoptEngelsk sammanfattning Due to the entry into force for a decriminalization regarding homosexuality in July 1944, homosexual activities were not considered as something criminal anymore. The struggle towards a more equal society did not end there. It took until 1979 before homosexuality was removed from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsens) register of illnesses. Today, homos

38 firms have been valued soon after they have gone public to be able to be compared with market values. We assume that valuation soon after going public is a good approximation of value of firms just before going public. Relative valuation using P/E, P/B and P/S multiples are being used on firms in the real estate and pharmaceutical industries. Valuing real estate firms with the P/B multiple lead
