Vetenskapen likt andra verksamhetsområden existerar i växelspel med det omgivande samhället, i sitt historiska, sociala och psykologiska sammanhang. Något som även omfattar ekonomiska, politiska och kunskapsmässigt sammansatta grundvalar. På detta fundament vilar analysen i denna bok som förmedlar flera olika aspekter avseende vetenskapligt debatterande och vetenskapligt praktiserande. Boken ger i
Summary Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) reduce ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Their overall activity is stimulated by ATP and downregulated by dATP via a genetically mobile ATP cone domain mediating the formation of oligomeric complexes with varying quaternary structures. The crystal structure and solution X-ray scattering data of a novel dATP-induced homotetramer of the Pseudomonas aer
This thesis aims to extend the capital structure literature and identify the firm specific determinants of leverage within the automotive industry, filling a gap in the academic literature, and providing a base for future research. Panel data comprised of 29 global automotive companies over a 10-year period, 2008-2017, is used to run OLS regressions on three classifications of capital structure: t
Abstract: Over the last decades, remittances have significantly gained in importance for developing countries. Using recent household data, this thesis assesses the impact of remittances on agricultural productivity for the case of Ghana. Accounting for sample selection bias and endogeneity concerns, an overall positive but modest impact of remittances emerges. Yet, this estimate discerns crucial
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between local governments and community based waste management organisations and the sustainability of voluntary organisations providing basic services. Drawing on analytical concepts of participatory development it investigate factors contributing to a successful relationship. More specifically how cooperation, communication and collaborat
Stalaktiter och andra grottsediment har visat sig vara värdefulla verktyg för klimatrekonstruktioner. Med deras hjälp är det möjligt att rekonstruera förändringar av temperatur och nederbörd tillbaka i tiden. De är även användbara i arida områden där andra sedimenttyper sällan existerar. I den här studien undersöks en stalaktit från ”Al Hota”-grottan i norra Oman med hjälp av en petrografisk underSpeleothems and other cave sediments have proven to be valuable tools for climate reconstructions. They allow to reconstruct the changes of temperatures and precipitation over time even in arid areas where other types of sedimentary archives are scarce or even non-existent. In this study, a speleothem from Al Hota cave in northern Oman is investigated by means of petrographic interpretation and an
Despite a broad theoretical literature on multidimensional inequality and a widespread belief that welfare is not synonymous to income - not the least in a developing context - empirical inequality examinations rarely include several welfare attributes. We explore three techniques on how to evaluate multidimensional inequality using Zambian household data on consumption, education, health and land
A small-scale prototype of the CALIFA calorimeter, which is a subsystem of the R 3 B detector, has been constructed and tested using the 179 MeV proton beam at The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden. The prototype consists of 15 Csl(Tl) elements with a size of 10 x 30 x 130 mm(3), assembled in a 3 x 5 array. Each crystal was individually tested using gamma-ray sources and the light output unifor
In the field of lighting and daylighting, standard monitoring procedures to assess the overall performance of retrofit projects are scarce. Nevertheless the access to monitored data is crucial to assess whether daylighting or electric lighting systems deliver the expected performance in terms of cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency. In order to bridge this gap, a monitoring protocol is under d
This study is the first to present evidence of the return to leisure sports in the job hiring process by sending fictitious applications to real job openings in the Swedish labor market. In the field experiment job applicants were randomly given different information about their type and level of leisure sports. Applicants who signaled sports skills had a significantly higher callback rate of abou
The main focus of the essay addresses loyalty obligations on the parties during an acquisition of a company and how the parties' different experience and knowledge impact the acquisition process. The essay divides the acquisition process into three parts&semic before signing, between signing and closing, and after closing. During the essay it will be important to examine how the demands fo
The purpose of this study is to show and discuss the work and the efforts that are made for children and young asylum seekers in the Swedish society, focusing on the rights of the child. My aim was also to discuss whether Sweden complies with the Convention on the rights of the child in asylum cases. My questions were: What rights do children and young asylum seekers have compared to adults? How a
The aim with this master thesis is to identify similarities and differences between the UK and Swedish safety requirements for hazards at the plant level. It is also to investigate the underlying requirements for the safety documentation of those hazards. The method in the report is picked from literature studies, such as internal documents and the information published by the UK´s and Sweden’s co
Feathers are amongst the most complex epidermal structures known, and they have a well-documented evolutionary trajectory across non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds. Moreover, melanosome-like microbodies preserved in association with fossil plumage have been used to reconstruct original colour, behaviour and physiology. However, these putative ancient melanosomes might alternatively represent micr
The relationship between inequality and conflict has been widely studied in the literature, finding non-significant results. However, the availability of new statistical software and geographical databases has boosted new literature on the topic, focusing on the regional level. Mozambique is now suffering a wave of conflicts whose causes seem varied. Using a negative-inflated binomial regression a
This paper analyses the impact mobile money service Tigo Money has on households’ transfer behavior within social networks. To be precise, the paper investigates if household that use Tigo Money 1) send and receive more transfers, 2) if they do this with an expanded network, and 3) if they send and receive more transfers for emergency reasons, compared to non-using households. To answer these ques
