Alkanes offer great and barely utilised potential for usage as raw materials in large-scale chemical processes. Their lack of reactivity, however, warrants methods of manipulating and transforming them in an efficient and mild way, which can potentially be realised by employing homogeneous catalysis using pincer complexes. A reliable procedure for the synthesis and diastereomer-separation of 2-met
Considering the increasing dropout rate of doctoral studies, this study gives a deeper understanding of the factors related to doctoral students’ work engagement and motivation. The aim of this study is to predict work engagement for doctoral students through internal aspects; autonomous motivation and general self-efficacy. The effect of general self-efficacy on the relationship between autonomou
Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a
Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as
Studiens syfte var att undersöka en eventuell diskrepans i självskattningar rörande personlighet och beteende och social önskvärdhets förklaring på diskrepansens förekomst. Tidigare forskning på ämnet tenderar att fokusera på kamratskattningar för att sedan jämföra dessa med individens egen skattning för således komma till en konklusion om individens faktiska personlighet. I vår studie valde vi atThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the possible discrepancy in self-reported personality and behaviour along with exploring which factors might affect the occurrence of the discrepancy. Previous research on the matter tends to focus on peer reports of the individual which is then compared with the individual’s own report in order to reach a conclusion about what personality traits the indiv
Bakgrund: Dyspné är ett symtom hos lungcancerpatienter och att uppleva dyspné är mycket påfrestande, oavsett intensitet. Det ingår i sjuksköterskans profession att i samråd med patienten identifiera individuell hälsa och ge patienten förutsättningar för att kunna uppnå hälsa på bästa sätt. Trots att medicinering förbättrats de senaste åren ses ingen förbättring patienters symtombörda vid dyspné. S
This study identifies the frames used in the representation of refugees by three major Spanish newspapers: ABC, El País and El Mundo. Using directed content analysis guided by predefined frames and summative content analysis, frames are ranked according to their presence in newspaper articles. After categorization, the frames are analyzed, and their usage compared and contrasted across all three n
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
The social media platform Instagram has become an official communication medium for the construction of corporate identity. This study explores how corporate identity is constructed on Oalty’s Instagram site using visual social semiotic analysis. More specifically, the aim of this study is to explore the visual and verbal approach used to construct corporate identity on Instagram from a small-medi
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur de olika trafikslagen prioriteras i gatuutrymmet i form av en kritisk granskning av Spårvägsprojektet i Lund. Arbetet ämnar utreda bland annat utrymmesbehovet för motorfordon, cyklister och fotgängare. Vidare undersöks disponeringen av gatuutrymmet för de olika trafikslagen i spårvägsprojektet i Lund och om det är i linje med kommunens uttalade mål och strategThe thesis aims to investigate the space requirements for motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Furthermore, it examines how the street space has been used for the various types of traffic in the tramway project in Lund and whether it is according to the municipality's stated goals and strategies. The study also investigates whether the final result corresponds to the initial plan of the p
In the 1970s linguists started studying genderlects, the linguistic differences related to gender and its power dimensions. Studies conducted by Scandinavian researchers have shown that boys and men speak more and are more dominant in public spaces such as the classroom and political debates (Einarsson & Hultman 1984, Gomard & Krogstad 2001). One of the most prominent researchers in the fi
Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre
How sustainable development (SD) is envisioned, practiced and financed is a crucial question today. In Denmark, the former government introduced private sector-driven development (PSDD) at the heart of Danish development cooperation. In this thesis, I seek to understand how the Danish development community (represented in this study by four large civil society NGOs) have positioned themselves to t
The digitalization of the society, which is often seen as an essential factor of the fourth industrial revolution, is impacting everything and everyone. This digital revolution puts high demands on many companies and organisations today. This requires a strong leadership within the organisations in order to keep up. Today many organisations invest in formal leadership development programs to suppo

Bakgrund: Båda föräldrarna kan drabbas av psykisk ohälsa i den perinatala perioden. Det nyfödda barnet kan vara en källa för både sammanhållning och splittring, och det är av stor vikt att vården stödjer föräldrarna i det nya samspelet. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka nyblivna föräldrar med psykisks ohälsas upplevelser av den perinatala perioden. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie
Studiens syfte var att uppnå ökad förståelse för prestationsångest hos klassiska musiker i samband med musikaliska framträdanden. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex personer som genomförde eller hade genomfört klassisk musikalisk utbildning på universitetsnivå. I en tematisk analys identifierades sju teman. Viktiga resultat var att musikalisk prestation beskrevs bäst vid lagom nivå aThe aim of the study was to reach a greater understanding of the performance anxiety of classical musicians in connection with musical performances. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six individuals who had an ongoing or completed classical music education at university level. In a thematic analysis, seven themes were identified. Important results were that musical performance was opt
The number of EU members implementing the euro, has been continuously increasing since the currency saw the light of day in 1999. One of the main arguments in favor of implementing the euro, or any other common currency for that matter is the expected gains from increased trade flows. This paper aims to examine whether such increased trade occurs from the implementation of a common currency. More
