Ett flertal studier har undersökt personlighet och kognitiv förmåga i förhållande till livsutfall. Det är däremot färre longitudinella studier som undersökt dessa samband, vilket medför oklarhet i hur mycket individuella skillnader kan förklara livsutfall. Syftet med denna studie var att använda senaste europeiska tvillingdata för att undersöka personlighet och kognitiv förmåga som prediktorer förNumerous studies have examined personality and cognitive ability in relation to life outcomes. However, longitudinal studies examining these relationships are relatively scarce, leaving the extent to which individual differences can account for life outcomes still unclear.

Både positiva och negativa aspekter av arbetet bidrar till hur en trivs på arbetet generellt. Arbetsplatsen beskrivs både som en friskfaktor och som en plats där homosexuella, bisexuella, transpersoner och queera (hbtq-personer) kan få utstå trakasserier såsom mikroaggressioner och ohövlighet. Syftet med denna mixed methods studie var att undersöka relationer på arbetsplatsen ur två perspektiv. DeBoth positive and negative aspects in the workplace contribute to job satisfaction.

The aim of this mixed methods study was to explore relationships in the workplace from two perspectives. First, q
This project uses proton-proton collision data from the ALICE experiment at CERN to investigate the differences between three ways to classify events, known as event shape classifiers. The event shape classifiers that were investigated are RT , spherocity and flattenicity. The motivation behind this is the consistent use of these classifiers to select events when investigating the heavy-ion like
The empirical analysis conducted in this study explores the determinants of leverage thus capital structure formation in the European banking sector from 2012 to 2023. Utilizing a panel data regression methodology, we analyze relationships among key financial factors and apply the theory of capital structure to the results presented, accounting for regulatory constraints.

Lymphatic metastasis is a critical determinant of poor prognosis in various human cancers, facilitating further dissemination through the vascular system. However, the absence of an appropriate murine model impedes the comprehensive study of lymphatic metastasis. To address this, the host laboratory employs the EO771 mouse mammary carcinoma model, which ectopically expresses the chemokine receptor
One way to reduce the growing workload for radiologists is to automate the trans- formation of 3D MR images of the brain into the AC-PC coordinate system. In this thesis, both non-deformable and deformable image registration methods were used to register images to a template in the desired space, the AC-PC coordinate system. First, three non-deformable transformations were used together with three
On January 1, 2022, the first requirement regarding climate declarations was introduced. This mandate specified that all new buildings must include climate declarations during the construction phase, encompassing modules A1-A5.

Nowadays, archaeological museums are open to innovation with an ever-changing character in order to remain relevant to contemporary museology in terms of dissemination of knowledge. In that spirit, digital technologies have been used systematically by museums in an effort to move beyond their ocular-centric nature, resulting in the integration of multisensory practices within the exhibition space.
