An evaluative neutralisation process, whereby questionnaire items are phrased to be less evaluative, was used to create a new less socially desirable version of the social dominance orientation scale (SDO7). The main goal is to counteract the persistent floor effect which has affected the scale since its inception. The rationale behind the suggested correction is rooted with the problem of social

Syftet med detta arbete var att designa och bygga en externt driven proteshand. Handen ska helst ha en eller flera funktioner som inte finns hos andra protester. Den mänskliga handen är väldigt komplex, den innehåller över 30 muskler och minst 18 leder. Jämförelsevis har en komplex och rörlig kommersiell protes fem aktuatorer och elva leder, men endast en eller två kontrollsignaler. Allt som allt

This paper examines the impact of the Paris agreement on firms on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the firms were also categorized into sustainable and unsustainable firms by their Environmental Pillar Score (which is part of the ESG score) in order to investigate performance differences between the two groups.

I denna text diskuteras hur fosterbarnsvården utvecklats från en enskild angelägenhet till en kollektiv angelägenhet. Under denna period fortsatte ett sen tidigare etablerat fördömande av den utomäktenskaplig sexualiteten. Detta leder till att många mödrar lämnar bort sina oäktingar till fosterhem, dels för att slippa försörjningen, dels för att undkomma skammen. Detta kan göras på grund av en anoOver the last two centuries, foster care in Sweden has undergone immense changes. Various societal and political views have shifted from individual to collective responsibility on this issue. Extramarital relations are both religiously and civilly condemned.

In the last years, several states in the United States have enacted medical and recre- ational marijuana legalization laws (MMLs and RMLs). These policies aim to regulate the handling of marijuana consumption at the state level. This led to an ongoing debate on the effects of such laws on public health. However, the literature on this topic is very limited regarding the effects of recreational mar

Bakgrund: 2021 stod bygg- och fastighetssektorn för nästan 22% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sedan 2006 finns ett lagkrav om att den som låter uppföra en byggnad även ska ansvara för att upprätta en energideklaration. Lagen syftar till att främja ett effektivt energianvändande för att på så sätt minska utsläppen av växthusgaser. Sveriges el- och energiproduktion står endast för 8 % aIn 2021, the construction and management phase of buildings accounted for nearly 22% of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2006, there has been a law requiring that whoever constructs a building is also responsible for declaring the energy use of the building. The purpose of the law is to promote efficient energy use in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sweden's electri

Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif

Denna studie utforskade andlighet och alkoholism ur ett existentiellt, psykologiskt och sociologiskt perspektiv. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta aktiva medlemmar i Anonyma Alkoholister (AA) syftade studien till att undersöka vilken betydelse medlemmar i AA tillskriver andligheten i tolvstegsprogrammet. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats. AnalysThe present study explored spirituality and alcoholism from an existential, psychological and sociological perspective. The aim of the study was to examine what the spiritual aspects of the twelve-step program meant to members of Anonymous Alcoholics (AA). The sample consisted of eight active members of AA, all located in Sweden. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews, then anal

Varumärken används för att väcka ett intresse hos en konsument och särskilja just deras vara eller tjänst från mängden. Ett varumärke kan idag uppgå till miljardbelopp och vara ett företags största tillgång. Detta ger företaget incitament för att vilja skydda sitt varumärke och bejaka sin ensamrätt till det. Den här uppsatsen behandlar EU-varumärken. År 2017 var både ett nytt varumärkesdirektiv ocTrademarks are used to arouse an interest in a consumer and distinguish their particular product or service from the crowd. Today, a trademark can amount to billions and be a company's most valuable asset. This gives the company incentives to want to protect its trademark and assert its exclusive right to it. This essay focuses on EU trademarks. In 2017, both a new trademark di-rective and a

Buildings from the so called Million programme has a high use of energy and in addition, there are many such houses. The need for them to be retrofitted is big. The City of Helsingborg has set a climate goal which states that the city in 2035 should be neutral in energy use which put a lot of pressure on the real estate owners in the city. All new buildings has to be energy efficient and older bui

The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a project currently with 17 Partner Countries, and with Sweden and Denmark as host nations. The ESS main facility is being constructed in Lund, to ultimately become the world’s most powerful neutron source, providing around 30 times brighter neutron beams than any earlier facility. The Linear Accelerator, Linac, at the heart of ESS is fundamentally powered

During the last decades the spread of the invasive species round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, has largely increased in the Baltic Sea affecting the ecosystem, biodiversity and species interactions. Round goby originates from the Caspian Sea and has most likely been introduced multiplied times via ships ballast water to different areas of the Baltic Sea. The establishment has had both negative and

The correct folding of proteins is of paramount importance for their function, and protein misfolding is believed to be the primary cause of a wide range of diseases. Protein folding has been investigated with time-averaged methods and time-resolved spectroscopy, but observing the structural dynamics of the unfolding process in real-time is challenging. Here, we demonstrate an approach to directly

The cell phone industry is one of the most linear sectors, which means high resource consumption in the production of telephones and difficulties in repair. In addition, only 10-12% take-back of used units takes place, the rest are often forgotten in drawers or handled incorrectly. An interesting area of research is how companies can make their choices to reduce the life cycle environmental impact

Med en befolkning på cirka 30 miljoner människor är kurderna den fjärde största etniska gruppen i Mellanöstern. Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suv
