“It’s not as simple as one thought” – a qualitive study of parents of young children with the wish to achieve equal parenting and the tension between ideal Sweden is seen as the most gender equal country in Europe and gender equality is a stated goal. Yet there is a gap between ideal and practice, which is seen when focusing on e.g. equal parenting. It is clear that women take greater responsibil

With the tremendous increases in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the last four decades arose the problem of a possible relationship between FDI and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Scholars have hypothesized that international companies invest in countries with lax environmental regulations to escape high production cost, we call this the pollution haven hypothesis. The ASEAN-5, i.e. Indonesia,

För att en uppsägning av en arbetstagare ska vara giltig krävs enligt 7 § LAS att den är sakligt grundad. En uppsägning kan grunda sig antingen på personliga skäl eller arbetsbrist. Arbetsbrist utgör i sig självt saklig grund för uppsägning medan det vid personliga skäl krävs objektiv fakta stöd som bevisar arbetstagarens olämplighet för att uppsägningen ska anses vara sakligt grundad. Ur en arbetAccording to 7 § LAS a termination of employment need to be objectively founded to be considered to be valid. A termination of employment can either be based on the employees personal reasons or redundancy (lack of work). Redundancy is in itself an objective reason for termination of employment while if the termination is based on personal reasons it requires objective facts that support the worke

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka vilken effekt en emotionsreglerande åtgärd, administrerad före imagery rescripting (IR), hade för behandlingsutfallet hos patienter med social ångeststörning (SAD). Tidigare forskning har visat att IR är en verksam behandlingsmetod och intervention för att bearbeta och modifiera problematiska inre mentala bilder vid SAD. Studien genomfördes som en randomiserThe purpose of this study was to explore the effects of emotion regulation given prior to imagery rescripting, IR, on the treatment outcome in a sample of patients suffering of social anxiety disorder, SAD. Research has shown that IR is an efficient treatment and intervention to process and transform problematic images that occur in SAD. The study was carried out as a randomized experimential comp

The modern day society, and especially cities, are dependent on infrastructure and the continueous flow of goods, services and people. Some of these infrastructures are critical for the others functioning on a normal pace and have been coined as critical infrastructures. This paper addresses the protection of critical infrastructures in four different municipalities in Sweden through the directive

I detta examensarbete granskades värmeöverföringen mellan två zoner i en bubblande fluidiserad bädd och det resulterande temperaturfältet med numeriska strömningsberäkningar av en laminär Euler-Euler-tvåfluidbeskrivning. Syftet var att uppskatta den termiska potentialen att flerstega en kraftvärmepanna genom integrering av en kommunicerande förgasningsreaktor som utnyttjar värme från förbränningenIn this Master's thesis, the heat transfer between two zones in a bubbling fluidized bed and the resultant temperature field were examined using a laminar Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model in computational fluid dynamics. The purpose was to estimate the thermal potential to multi-stage a combined heat and power boiler by integration therein of a communicating gasification reactor, which utiliz

In contrast to the need for companies to get real time information about insider threats, there is a privacy and integrity based limitation of what the individual accepts as acceptable surveillance. This creates a problem since performing online surveillance would pose an infringement on the employees privacy and integrity. Therefore we present a model using Isolation Forest to solve this problem.

This analysis examines the correlation between the stringency of environmental policies and the economic output in terms of real GDP. The data is covering real GDP, the stringency of market based as well as non-market based environmental policies, interest rates, total factor productivity and human capital. 33 countries, among the OECD and the BRICS, are being analyzed in the regression model duri

The 36-hectare large RWN Areal is located 2 km south of the city center of Neubrandenburg, Germany. What once was founded as a Torpedo Testing Facility during WWII, became a Military Repair Work Facility during the GDR government until 1990. After the German Reunification, the site has only served business and industrial purposes, but was more so neglected in the 2000s and became a blind spot ever

This paper examines the indirect effect housing plays in the monetary transmission mechanism (MTM) of consumption. This is done by following the method of Giuliodori (2005) and estimating structural vector autoregressive models (SVAR) for 16 developed countries, from the first quarter of 1970 to the last quarter of 2018. For each country, two Impulse response functions of two different SVARs are c

Bakgrund: Generell anestesi utförs dagligen, trots detta kan inte full medvetslöshet garanteras. Mer är hälften av de patienter som ska genomgå generell anestesi är rädda för att vakna och uppleva awareness under operationen. Awareness kan leda till psykiska konsekvenser för patienten som långvarigt posttraumatiskt stressyndrom, depression och ångest. Syfte: Beskriva faktorer som påverkar uppkomst
