Unlike other parts of the historical district of Mazovia, the lands around the system of rivers remained a primeval woodland well into the first half of the 20th century. Nowad

En ny metod påstås kunna analysera störningar i elnätet i realtid med hjälp av befintliga mätinstrument. Genom att beräkna flöden av svängningsenergi kan olika generatorers roller i störningen visualiseras. Från kontrollrum kan störningskällor kopplas bort och generatorers bidrag till dämpning kontinuerligt utvärderas. Men bakgrunden till metoden är grumlig och tolkningen av svängningsenergin är oElectromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi

The aim of this study was to explore how women’s shelter employees who work with survivors of domestic violence described their experiences of listening to the survivors. The method chosen for this qualitative study was semi-structured interviews with six different employees who work in three different non-profit and three municipal organisations. The data collected was analysed using Hochschild&#

Abstract Aim: The aim of this paper is to examine the corporate brand identity of disruptive innovators that have changed entire industries. Moreover, this paper strives to answer the question, whether a universal pattern of corporate brand identities for these “New kids on the block” can be identified and if so, what it looks like. Approach: Firstly, a literature review is conducted in order t

The aim of this study was to explore social workers’ experiences of their client relationships.

The method chosen for

Due to the number of changes in the labor market, it is of high importance that organizations form strategies to attract, develop and maintain employees. One of these current strategies are referred to as Employer Branding, which can be viewed as the package of the functional, economic and psychological benefits provided by employment, and identified with the employing company. This study is a qua

The fact that solitary migratory birds can find their migration routes has indicated the possibility that a genetic basis may be involved in determining the route of migration. Researchers have also found evidence to investigate this hypothesis in various ways. The focal species of this study is the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus), which has three described subspecies (trochilus, acredula

The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm

Utgångspunkten i Sverige är att det råder fri antagningsrätt. Denna rättssystematiska utgångspunkt gäller så länge det inte finns några rättsliga inskränkningar. Saknas begränsningar, så är det med andra ord upp till arbetsgivaren att bestämma vem och hur han vill anställa. Men sedan slutet av 1990-talet har diskrimineringslagstiftningen utökats. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utröna ifall och i In Sweden, employers are free to choose whom and how to employ, as long as there are no legal restrictions. Though, since the 1990s Swedish discriminatory legislation has continuously been extended.

Införande av en klimatskatt på nötkött i Sveriges påverkan på förekomsten av kolorektalcancer Man har i flertalet studier påvisat att konsumtion av rött kött och processat kött (däribland nötkött) skulle kunna ha en negativ inverkan på människors hälsa. Framförallt visar studier på kopplingar mellan konsumtion av rött och processat och en ökad risk för kolorektalcancer. Vidare visar studier att pConsumption of red and processed meat has been found to effect human health and especially the occurrence of colorectal cancer. At the same time cattle farming and production of beef have been shown to severely effect the environment and particularly the climate. Taxation of beef could be an instrument to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of beef, but due to high transition

The thesis seeks to do a discursive analysis of the articulation of religion’s role in promoting gender equality in Danish development policies.
