Denna avhandling studerar faktorer som påverkar rekryterare då de skall välja bland jobbsökande med olika etnisk bakgrund. Generellt förväntades att de sökandes etnicitet skulle påverka rekryterares val och deras uppfattning om vad som är viktigt att ta fasta på hos en arbetssökande person, och att detta kan ske i olika faser av rekryteringsprocessen.Studie 1 visade att företagsnormer påverkar rekThe present thesis aimed to study different factors influencing recruiters when recruiting from an applicant pool with applicants from an ethnic ingroup and outgroup. Ethnicity was predicted to influence recruiters’ perception and behaviour in different phases during recruitment. Study I demonstrated that company norms affect recruiters’ perception of what an employee should be like. Company norms

Purpose: Many centers aim to plan liver transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with dosimetry, even without CT-based attenuation correction (AC), or with unoptimized scatter correction (SC) methods. This work investigates the impact of presence vs absence of such corrections, and limited spatial resolution, on 3D dosimetry for TARE. Methods: Three voxelized phantoms were derived from CT images of

Chronic neural interfaces that are able to record or stimulate neurons in the CNS are valuable instruments in use today and they hold great promise for the future both within neuroscience research and in the clinic. However, a major obstacle is that they show a decline in performance over time. Many different approaches to improve the interface designs are gradually evaluated in hope of overcoming

Sweden’s substantial building stock from the million programs is in need of renovations. These residential buildings were built without major attention to energy demand or architectural aesthetics. Until now, property owners have hesitated to carry out energy renovations due to the investment cost. The aim of this master thesis was to propose an energy-efficient renovation procedure whilst takin

För att undersöka nanopartiklars toxicitet finns behov av att producera väldefinierade nanopartiklar dispergerade i en kolloid suspension. Men även för andra områden så som nanomedicin finns ett behov av denna typ av lösningar. För att dispergera partiklarna i vätska används ofta ytaktiva ämnen. När dessa ämnen tillsätts adderas de på ytan av partikeln och förändrar partiklarnas yta. Då forskning To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle

Life at a music festival can be both a blessing and a curse. It creates a feeling of escaping reality into euphoric happiness and freedom that only music festivals can bring. But one thing can drastically change this mood and make the living at the festival quite miserable – the weather. Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo

Det pågår just nu en omställning från fossila till förnyelsebara energiresurser. Exempel på förnyelsebara resurser är sol-, vind- och vattenkraft. Problemet är att energiproduktionen är beroende av att solen skiner, vinden blåser eller att vattnet flödar. Lösningen kan vara att lagra energin i smältsalter. I det här projektet utvecklades metoder för att internt kunna studera smältsaltskorrosion avMolten salt applications are challenging from a material perspective. This degree project was carried out at Alfa Laval to give them a better understanding of the corrosion of solar salt on the standard heat exchanger material stainless steel 321. Similar tests have previously been performed externally. By developing test methods for in-house corrosion testing time and money can be saved. In thi

Högre verkningsgrader, stabilitet och minskad toxicitet; så skall framtidens solceller nå verkligheten. Många hoppas att solenergi ska ta över våra energibehov och varje dag närmar vi oss en grönare utvinning av elektricitet. Kommer våra bilar och byggnader täckas av solceller i framtiden? Inte helt omöjligt, om vi kan bemästra det fascinerande materialet perovskit.

There are still many questions to be solved regarding the stability, environmental impact, reproducible large area devices, efficiency and module fabrication cost of Perovskite Solar Cells, PSCs, before commercial up-scaling. Scientists all over the world are working towards solutions and

Under de senaste decennierna har den personliga integriteten diskuterats i samband med flera lagstiftningsåtgärder i svensk rätt, inte minst i samband med ny lagstiftning inom straff- och straffprocessrätten. Flera straffrätts- bestämmelser har införts för att skydda den personliga integriteten mellan enskilda. Parallellt med denna utveckling har brottsbekämpande myndigheter tillgodosetts med nya In recent decades, personal integrity has been discussed in connection with several legislative measures in Swedish law, especially concerning new legislative measures in penal law and criminal procedure law. Several penal law measures have come into force to protect individuals’ privacy. At the same time, law enforcement agencies have been provided with new secret coercive measures which means th

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

Purpose: In this study, we examine the data from Chinese companies to test the relationship between cash flow and investment. While a wide assortment of previous research has examined the relationship between cash flow and investment, they have largely focused on empirical analysis from an US or a Western perspective. But, to date, little attention has been paid to such relationship using empirica

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is generated due to the interaction of an intense laser field with atoms. This process enables the production of high harmonics, which would not be achieved with standard nonlinear media. The utilization of two-color laser fields (formed by combining a fundamental field with one

Penningtvätt har länge varit ett uppmärksammat problem, men inte förrän på senare år, särskilt efter den 11 september 2001 och terroristattackerna i USA har stora krafttag gjort att bekämpningen av problemet kommit igång. Bekämpningen och förhindrandet av penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism är även viktigt utifrån ett större perspektiv. Om man kan strypa finanserna för kriminell verksamhet,Money laundering has for a long time been an acknowledged problem, now more than ever. Especially after 9/11 2001 and the terrorist attacks in the USA, joint efforts have made combating the problem a serious matter. Combating and prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing is also important from a larger perspective. If you can close off finances of criminal activity, you are one step c

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to explore the possibility to compare treatment-planning- and treatment-delivery systems for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using an objective approach. The approach investigated was the Pareto front concept. An additional aim was to adequately compare three different IMRT treatment planning and delivery systemsMaterials and methods: In IMRT trea

Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h

Background Up-to-date evidence on levels and trends for age-sex-specifi c all-cause and cause-specifi c mortality is essential for the formation of global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) we estimated yearly deaths for 188 countries between 1990, and 2013. We used the results to assess whether there is epidemiological convergence across
