The electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the proton are now well known, owing to Compton scattering measurements on hydrogen targets; however, the neutron polarizabilities are still relatively uncertain, compared to the proton values. To address this problem, a multiinstitutional collaboration has conducted a program of elastic Compton scattering experiments on deuterium at the MAX IV Laborat
We analyze the impacts of changing dry season length and intensity on vegetation productivity and biomass. Our results show a wetness asymmetry in dry ecosystems, with dry seasons becoming drier and wet seasons becoming wetter, likely caused by climate change. The increasingly intense dry seasons were consistently correlated with a decreasing trend in net primary productivity (NPP) and biomass fro
While addition of managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) improves pollination of many entomophilous crops, it is unknown if it simultaneously suppresses the densities of wild insects through competition. To investigate this, we added 624 honeybee hives to 23 fields of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) over 2 years and made sure that the areas around 21 other fields were free from honeybee hives. We dem
Trust-Based Governance and Leadership (TBGL) has been proposed as an alternative to New Public Management (NPM) to mitigate its negative effects on working conditions, service quality, and professional autonomy in public administration. This thesis examines a Swedish municipality seeking to become a national forerunner in TBGL. Based on an interview study, it analyses a municipal initiative aimed
This qualitative study explores the professional experiences of social workers in psychiatric care, focusing on the emotional challenges of working with individuals in difficult life situations. The aim was to examine how their emotional expressions, strategies for recovery, and organizational factors contribute to a supportive work environment. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interv
The construction and demolition industry are annually responsible for 40% of the total amount of waste generated in Sweden. The problem facing the industry is that a very large portion of the waste is disposed of in landfills, and only a very small portion is recycled and reused. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the construction industry can become more circular and sustainable over
När man som ägare av ett företag i Sverige bedriver verksamhet är det av stor vikt att hålla koll på vad ens företagande innebär i inkomstslagens mening. Är man som ägare också verksam i sitt företag riskerar man att bli annorlunda beskattad på eventuella utdelningar, detta kan få förödande effekter om man inte är medveten vad man gör men om man lär sig reglerna kring fåmansföretag kan man i stor
This thesis investigate if the application of New Public Management organization theory in Swedish bureaucracy has influenced the states perception of non-profit organizations. The focus is on the non-profit sports association Riksidrottsförbundet. The method used for the thesis was a qualitative deep read of all official government investigations (spanning from year 1957 to 2008) concerning finan
Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the
Detta examensarbete behandlar en energieffektivisering av Örebrogatan 2A-C i Kv. Hallonet som Helsingborgshem äger och förvaltar. Genom att ge förslag på olika åtgärder för att få en sänkt energianvändning på den idag energislukande byggnaden är förhoppningen att arbetet ska kunna användas som underlag i en framtida renovering av byggnaden. Byggnaden från 1954 består idag av 20 lägenheter fördeladThis thesis is about an energy efficiency improvement of Örebrogatan 2 in Kv. Hallonet that Helsingborgshem owns and manages. By giving suggestions for different actions to get a reduced energy consumption on the today energy-wasteful building is the hope that the work and the conclusions can be used for a future renovation of the building. Whilst Sweden is growing with many new buildings, there a
Cyclometallation is an important reaction and is essential in organometallic chemistry for the synthesis of stable metal-ligand frameworks and in the development of functional catalytic compounds. Although extensively studied, challenges remain in achieving selective C-H bond activation without the formation of unwanted side products. In this study, a PCP pincer ligand and subsequent cyclopalladat
During the last four decades cesarean section rates in Sweden have increased substantially. This development is however not equal throughout the country, which has caused considerable variations in cesarean section rates between counties and hospitals. The purpose of this paper was to analyse whether these variations imply inefficiencies in the utilization of health care services. Through a cros
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of self-assembled peptides and proteins that forms a highly ordered and densely packed core of β-strands stacking perpendicular to the length of the fibril. Amyloid fibrils of the protein α-synuclein (α-syn) are associated with Parkinson’s disease. This study aims at contributing to the physiochemical basis of α-synuclein aggregation and dissolution, mainly in terms
Effective tax systems play a key role in self-sustained economic growth. Where foreign aid can provide much needed funds for less developed countries, it may also increase aid dependency if the country does not simultaneously improve its taxing capacity. This thesis is empirically investigating the relationship of foreign aid and tax revenue mobilization in a panel of 53 African countries during 1
This paper studies volatility prediction on OMX Stockholm 30, OMX Helsinki 25 and OMX Nordic 40. The models used are a historical variance model, an exponentially weighted moving average model and three models from the GARCH family. These are GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR(1,1), with normal and t-distribution respectively. The volatility for 2008-2013 is forecasted with a rolling window technique
The accession to the European Union was based on the financial gains that could be made on the single market. When acceding the Union the Member States gave up parts of their state sovereignty. This statement is not unproblematic. My thesis touches on the posting of workers. Since the adoption of the new Enforcement Directive on the Posting of Workers Directive, two reports on the Swedish impleme
Understanding how China is represented on international social media, such as YouTube, is potentially important for the success of China as a tourist destination. However, a study of how China is represented on YouTube by independent users has not been done. Given the unique circumstances of how Chinese people are banned from using YouTube, it is a site of destination placemaking and discourse tha
Den 30 mars 2017 presenterade Finansdepartementet Vissa frågor inom fastighets- och stämpelskatteområdet (SOU 2017:27), även kallat paketeringsutredningen. Förslagen som utredningen presenterade innebär bland annat att transaktioner med paketerade fastigheter ska beskattas symmetriskt med lagfartsöverlåtelser, till skillnad från nuläget då de kan ske skattefritt genom försäljning av näringsbetingaOn March 30th 2017 the special appointed committee from the Swedish Treasury Department presented Vissa frågor inom fastighets- och stämpelskatteområdet (SOU 2017:27), also known as “paketeringsutredningen”. Suggestions from the public investigation include among other things amendments stating that transactions of incorporated real estate should be taxed symmetrically with traditionally transacti
