In every gathered group of people, one person will be appointed the leadership. The choice of leader will be mutual and based on that this person has the most appropriate and trained talent for leadership and is best prepared for the task. Ultimately there should be a team of leaders that support each other and co operate in the leadership, or take turns. Leadership is dependent on the human facto
We have studied the ground state of a realistic model of oxyheme with multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). Our results show that the ground-state electronic structure is strongly multiconfigurational in character. Thus, the wavefunction is a mixture of many different configurations, of which the three most important ones are approximately 1FeII–1O2 (70%), (12%) and 3FeII
Many problems concerning resource management in modern communication systems can be simplified to queueing models under Markovian assumptions. The computation of the optimal policy is however often hindered by the curse of dimensionality especially for models that support multiple traffic or job classes. The research focus naturally turns to computationally efficient bounds and high performance he
This paper deals with policy measures in the regional innovation system of Scania, Southern Sweden. Focus is on the innovation policy requirements of actors representing industries that draw on different knowledge bases. Previous studies have identified profound industry-specific differences concerning the organisation of knowledge sourcing between firms and other actors. In correspondence with th
The digitalization of the society, which is often seen as an essential factor of the fourth industrial revolution, is impacting everything and everyone. This digital revolution puts high demands on many companies and organisations today. This requires a strong leadership within the organisations in order to keep up. Today many organisations invest in formal leadership development programs to suppo
Under mina år som fagottist så har jag de senaste fyra fem åren brottats med smärtor i framför allt min vänstra arm och axel. Skadorna uppstod av dålig hållning och spändhet som i sin tur ledde till överbelastning utav muskler. Vad finns det för metoder för att få bukt på smärtproblematik för mig som fagottist? Det här är den beskrivande delen av mitt examensarbete som handlar om hur jag under minDuring my years as a bassoonist, I have for the past four five years been afflicted with pain, especially in my left arm and shoulder. The injuries were caused by poor posture and muscular tension, which led to muscular overload. What are the methods for getting rid of pain problems for me as a bassoonist? This Bachelor thesis deals with how I have worked with ergonomic methods to reduce pain in m
This thesis treats compression testing of pillow-shaped paperboard packages. Virtual packages were defined and compression tests, simulated using a commercial software, were compared to physical compression tests of actual packages. The tests were conducted using different package configurations. Initially a single package was tested both physically, obtaining force-displacement data, as well as
Anthropogenic activities such as hydropower exploitation have been one of the main drivers of anadromous fish biodiversity loss during the past century. This has led to genetic homogenization and to the reduction of positive mechanisms such as the “portfolio effect”. In this study we propose the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic differences in Salmo salar and Salmo trutta populations in
A simple, rapid and environmentally friendly hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) technique was developed for the quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aqueous samples. GC-MS was then used as the method of analysis. The HF-LPME technique involves extraction of PAHs from a 20-mL sample containing 20 % acetonitrile as a modifier. The PAHs were extrac
Kerstin Thorvall (1925–2010) is a Swedish author of books for children and young adults, as well as books for adults. In 1965, she wrote the article “Do all authors of children's books live in Tomtebolandet?” (“Bor alla barnboksförfattare i Tomtebolandet”, Expressen 1965) in which she claims that gender roles in Swedish children's literature, are depicted in an old and stereotypical fashion. She a
I have always been curious about the effects architecture and the built environment have on us. The special atmosphere and the ability to arouse a sense of safety and calmness, but also the negative feelings certain spaces can evoke. Which architectural elements contribute to the way we perceive a space and more importantly, does the built environment not only affect our emotions but also our ment
In this project, we compare two error functions for the purpose of training artificial neural networks on heavily censored data (data where key information is missing). J. Kalderstam et al. has shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on Harrell's C index \cite{Harrell} using genetic algorithms. He has also investigated the possibilities of improving the performa
Juvenile delinquency has become an obvious and recurring issue in the daily debate and emerges as one of the most controlling and dominant societal problems. There are various reasons why people choose to commit crime and there is no easy answer to the question why young people commit crime. A fundamental but crucial distinction to be made regarding crime is the difference between deviant acts and
Studier har visat att det finns ett samband mellan arbetsminne och skrivande samt mellan arbetsminne och läsförståelse. Hos personer med läs- och skrivsvårigheter kvarstår ofta problemen med skrivning i vuxen ålder. Dessa problem anses av många forskare hänga samman med bl.a. arbetsminne och koncentration. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skriftlig berättarförmåga hos 14-15-åringar och 16
När man talar om nationalismen i Sverige är det mer eller mindre ofrånkomligt att man tänker på den nationalism som såg nationens geografiska gränser såsom överensstämmande med Sveriges nutida gränser – det är med andra ord den ”svenska” nationen man talar om. Härmed blir också den ”svenska” nationen den enda tänkbara nationella konstellationen för svenskt vidkommande, och alternativa nationella r
Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka om det är möjligt att motivera användandet av teknik för förlängd hållbarhet, ESL, på konsumtionsmjölk genom en minskad miljöpåverkan, speciellt gällande distribution och spill. Trenden pekar idag mot ökande transporter för mejeriernas volymprodukter och dessa transporter jämförs för mjölk behandlad med ESL-teknik och vanlig pastöriserad mjölk. Utöver detta
The goal of this project is the design of the magnetic field of the neutron analyser for the European Spallation Source instrument DREAM (Diffraction Resolved by Energy and Angle Measurements). This instrument is a neutron diffractometer and its purpose is the determination of the magnetic and chemical structure of materials. Simulations have been performed over the span of a semester using the Fi
The following thesis discusses a recent debate that occurred in Sweden regarding gender equality. In the beginning of 2018, a new agency was founded - The Swedish Gender Equality Agency. However, less than a year later, the agency was threatened to be shut-down when two right-wing parties proposed a budget where the funding for the agency was retracted. This started an interesting debate in Sweden
