This study uses a specifically constructed sub-national dataset on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak cases, deaths, and CFR in order to look at the question of how important various socio-economic factors were in determining the intensity and severity of the 2013-2016 EVD outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The results of the OLS model shows that the socio-economic conditions in differ
Reflecting on the theoretical as well as the practical learning outcomes of the Masters Program in Entrepreneurship: New Venture Creation, the following paper aims to examine the concepts of liabilities of newness and legitimacy and their bearing on emerging entrepreneurs as well as experienced entrepreneur crossing over to new fields of business. The paper will discuss some of the findings in ent
En studie om sökta och erhållna belöningar genom användning av Enterprise Social Media: ett medarbetarperspektiv Många anser att ESM har potentialen att både förenkla och förbättra samarbete, och stärka det ”sociala kapitalet”, men ändå misslyckas 80% av implementationerna. Denna studie hoppas ge insikter i vad som driver de som ändå använder ESM, med förhoppningen att bidra till fler lyckade fraA study of the gratifications sought and obtained through using Enterprise Social Media: an employee perspective Although ESM is widely held to have the potential to improve both collaborative efficiency and to strengthen social ties among employees, around 80% of ESM implementations fail. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of why some people do use ESM, which in turn can lead to
The study conducted aimed to answer two different question statements: does the door-in-the-face technique influence willingness to accept a monetary offer in a ultimatum game scenario consisting of two steps, where participants were first presented with a lower bid followed by a higher bid and is there any personality trait within the five-factor model of personality related to a greater tendency
FN:s kommitté för mänskliga rättigheter har som ansvar att granska medlemsländernas efterlevnad av Konventionen om medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter och att lämna allmänna kommentarer om konventionen. I följande uppsats görs en textanalys på en av dessa kommentarer, vilken kommenterar Artikel 7 inom konventionen. Artikel 7 behandlar förbudet mot tortyr och annan grym, omänsklig eller förnedr
En bok om politiska fångar på Långholmen i Sverige under åren 1880-1950.
Abstract in UndeterminedThe topology optimization problem is formulated in a phase-field approach. The solution procedure is based on the Allan–Cahn diffusion model where the conservation of volume is enforced by a global constraint. The functional defining the minimization problem is selected such that no penalization is imposed for full and void materials. Upper and lower bounds of the density f
In our response, we address four themes arising from the commentaries. First, we discuss the distinction between cognition and metacognition and show how to draw it within our framework. Next, we explain how metacognition differs from social cognition. The underlying mechanisms of metacognitive development are then elucidated in terms of interaction patterns. Finally, we consider measures of metac
Integrated models are inherently complex and often obscure to any but those who write them. Their usefulness can be greatly enhanced through well-structured, object-oriented design. A robust and computationally efficient Simulink/C++ library of optics, control, finite-element, and visualization routines for modeling radio telescope performance under various operating conditions is being developed
The aim of this essay is to examine the phrasing of gender equality in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development focusing on Goal 5: Gender Equality. The focus of the study also extends to analyze the potential consequences of the goal’s phrasing and understand why the empowerment of women and girls are seen as essential for the progression on all levels of sustainability. Through qualitative in
Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teach
This paper is a critical discourse analysis aiming to examine how the Migration Court in Malmö uses children's own reasons for asylum and the concept of the best interest of the child in a selected number of decisions from January to March 2012th. We have investigated how the court formulates its decisions in order to under¬stand if a child’s claim for asylum is tested on its own merits and ho
This thesis treats different aspects of automotive control-systems and consists of four papers covering different areas in this large field. The first paper presents a 9-degrees-of-freedom dynamic model of a tractor-semitrailer vehicle, aimed at simulation and evaluation of active chassis-systems for stability enhancements. Special focus is put on inclusion of the dynamics of load transfer, which
The aim was to investigate collaboration between relatives of frail elderly patients and nurses in acute hospital wards, and to develop and test an instrument to investigate, from the relatives? perspective, dimensions of collaboration in this context and the association between collaboration and satisfaction with the hospital care trajectory. The underpinning assumption for the study was that rel
Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u
This study estimated the climate footprint of halogenated inhalation anesthetics in Sweden and estimated effects of a decreased use of these compounds. We collected data on sales of desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane in Sweden during 2017 and calculated the mass of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) using Global Warming Potential data over 100 years for the compounds. Inhalation anesthetics contributed by
This chapter is dedicated to radio channel measurement and modelling techniques for beyond 4G networks, in particular: • new measurement techniques not only targeting radio channels, but also material properties in new frequency bands (Section 9.1), • improved physical models, cowering full-wave as well as ray-based methods, with a specific sub-section dealing with diffuse scattering (DS) and comp
