Studiens syfte var att undersöka huruvida evaluativitet var en faktor som påverkade upplevelsen av person organization fit (P-O fit), vilket innebär samstämmighet mellan individ och organisation. Evaluativitet definierades i den här studien som en persons tendens att beskriva sig själv i positivt värdeladdade termer och i sin självbeskrivning uttrycka sig på ett sätt som anses vara socialt önskvärThe purpose of this study was to examine whether the evaluative factor influences the perception of person organization fit (P-O fit), which implies congruence between an individual and an organization. Evaluativity was defined, in this study, as an individual who has a tendency to describe herself in positive evaluative terms, and in her self-description uses expressions that are socially desirab

Studiens främsta resultat är ett bidrag till analysen av begreppet egenmakt (”empowerment” på engelska) i förhållande till akademiska institutioner. I vår studie har vi i första hand fokuserat på lärande och forskande personal och finner att egenmakt för dem kan skapa en stark självkänsla och arbetstillfredsställelse men samtidigt kan den också skapa en situation där det är svårt för den enskilde

The aim of this thesis is to look at volatility spillovers between the exchange rate changes and the stock market returns. The theoretical relationship between the exchange rate and stock market is covered with focus on two basic models, the stock oriented model and the flow oriented model. The relationship between the two variables is positive in the stock oriented model while it is negative in t

Våld mellan idrottsutövare är ett udda ämne som det inte reflekteras mycket över. I denna uppsats har avsikten varit att belysa problematiken kring våldet på den idrottsliga scenen, där förgrundsfigurerna själva står i centrum. Forskningsansatsen har varit att initialt visa på de skillnader som finns i våldsbedömning mellan ishockeyns disciplinnämnd kontra den allmänna rätten. Därefter förklara va

Urban land-use planning, which is a useful tool for the sustainable development of a city, is a complex decision making process. However, the modern GIS technologies facilitate such complex jobs in two ways – (i) GIS allows to work with large numbr of datasets, (ii) a number of methods, techniques or models could be embeded in GIS for land-use suitability analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AH

Infant (<1 year of age) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignancy characterized by rearrangements of the lysin-specific methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A/MLL) gene at 11q23 in 80% of cases and with a very poor outcome. Recently, we identified recurrent mutations in FLT3 (FLT3N676K) and PIK3R1 (PIK3R1Y580fs, PIK3R1Y580*) through whole genome sequencing of infant ALL. To gain a better understandi

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the capacity of the Swedish railway network and try to centre upon rail freight; will the Swedish railway net be able to handle future demands of railway freight? To accomplish this consumed capacity was calculated for different parts of the rail network. Not the whole network was selected, parts that had more than six good trains per day in 2011. To be abl

Case managers and Case management were implemented in the Swedish mental health care system as a result of political policies which aimed towards the empowerment of mentally disabled clients. This thesis engages the implementation of policy into local practice in terms of a translation process performed by case managers as they go about understanding and handling their everyday labour conditions.

The main objective in this project is to study the seed dispersal and seed predation for the tree Pycnanthus angolensis in the Nigerian rainforest, and to evaluate the impacts of bushmeat hunting. One of the problems with bushmeat hunting is that it can disrupt the dispersal dynamics of forest trees. Bushmeat hunting is a widespread problem in the whole of Africa. The meat of wild forest animals a

Is China’s “property rights” legislation, which distinguishes transferable “property rights” and inalienable “land ownership”, a new concept that is unknown before, or a pragmatic reversion to the individual property rights system abolished by the communist revolution? This study claims that the latter is a better exposition. As part of a “socialist market economy”, such a reversion is manifested

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect muscles, joints, tendons and other supporting tissue. They are associated with pain and reduction in the normal range of activity. MSDs are amongst the most common causes of ill health and sickness absence, giving rise to substantial costs for the society. The key aim of this study is to calculate the economic costs of musculoskeletal disorders in Sweden rel

Inomhusmiljön är en viktig del av vårt liv, med tanke på att vi spenderar ungefär 90 % av vår tid inomhus dagligen. Olika typer av föroreningar förekommer i inomhusmiljön, som kan bidra till hälsoeffekter och upplevd luftkvalité. På sistone har det diskuterats kring hur bra inomhusmiljön är i svenska skolor, som är en förutsättning för hälsa och inlärningskapacitet. Lärarna i träslöjd på Tunasko

The health and environmental impacts of food consumption are increasingly recognized as sustainability issues in developed countries. Therefore, promotion of sustainable diets is becoming more popular among governments and International NGOs. However, the question persists of how best to do this. While the determinants of behavioural change have been studied extensively, the motivations behind beh

This essay will, essentially, analyse gender roles and the possible liberation from them in the novel Dare Me by Megan Abbott. In the novel, this possible emancipation has its starting point in cheerleading. The sport has since its birth been a symbol for certain gender roles. In the beginning it stood for masculine sportsmanship (strength) and later, for feminine showmanship (beauty). When cheerl

I den här studien undersöks behärskningen av relativsatser hos vuxna inlärare av svenska som andraspråk. Huvudsyftet är att se hur väl inlärarnas behärskning av olika typer av relativsatser stämmer överens med tre centrala hypoteser, Keenan & Comries Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy, Kunos Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis och Hamiltons SO Hierarchy Hypothesis. 17 informanter med engelska re

This paper investigates whether increasing the amount of control a learner has in his/ her learning increases his/her willingness to pay for that learning, or his/her reservation wage for a topic related task. Using a small scale online experiment, separating participants into two groups, each corresponding to a different treatment; one with control and one without, this paper found no significant

Genom att studera ett tv-spel med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod vill jag vissa på hur genus skapas inom spelets dramaturgi. Genom att beskriva min emperi och testa denna mot genusteorier vill jag vissa på en skev framställning av könen där mannen är centrerad och kvinnan lämnad till pereferin.
