During evolution the human brain has increased drastically in size compared to that of other primates. However, little is known about primate brain development as it is difficult to study human and primate brains in the laboratory due to the scarcity of tissues. Yet, it is essential to study primate brains and understand the molecular features leading to the human brain’s unique cognitive function
Det allmännas förhållande till såväl medborgare som företag är i stor utsträckning rättsligt reglerat, även vad gäller ekonomiska bidrag till någon av kategorierna. Ideella föreningar faller inte in under någon av dessa typer av rättssubjekt. Mot bakgrund av detta syftar uppsatsen till att utreda hur den rättsliga regleringen av kommunala bidrag till föreningslivet ser ut. Detta görs genom att delThe relations between the public authorities and its citizens and companies are subject to legislation, including financial subsidies from the public authorities to these two groups. Non-profit associations can not be included into either of these. The aim of this paper is to investigate the regulations concerning municipal financial subsidies to non-profit associations.

Den 14 april i år klubbades ett nytt direktiv igenom i Europaparlamentet. Detta direktiv har som syfte att skydda företagshemligheter från att olagligen anskaffas, utnyttjas eller röjas. Detta ska bidra till ökad innovationsrelaterad gränsöverskridande ekonomisk verksamhet vilket i sin tur ska främja EU:s ekonomi. Företagshemlighetsdirektivet innehåller ett undantag från direktivets åtgärder, förf
Purpose of study: As both innovations and brand loyalty are becoming ever more important for companies today, it is of importance to understand how an organisation can handle the relationship between the explorative and exploitative units when working with these two constructs. The ultimate aim is to understand how service organisations can be managed in order to enhance brand loyalty through serv
As there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori
Bakgrund: Dagens logistik måste aktivt arbeta med att minska på mängden matsvinn som uppstår i försörjningskedjor. Denna studie visar hur livsmedelsindustrin kan använda sig av innovativa lösningar så som intelligenta förpackningar för att förbättra kvalitetssäkringen av logistiktjänsterna. Under tempererade transporter exponeras förpackningar för varierande temperatur, luftfuktighet samt vibratio
This paper estimates labor supply effects for informal caregivers in Sweden using four waves of the SHARE data panel. To give daily or weekly care to a parent, step parent or parent in law is found to be more common among women than among men and is associated with lower employment probability for daily caregivers although the causal direction of the relationship is unclear. No negative effect of
Positive aspects of fathers’ involvement in parenting are broadly recognized, but challenges faced by fathers are often neglected and postpartum depression (PPD) is still mainly considered as a problem of mothers. Yet, new evidence suggests a similar prevalence of about 10 % in fathers and mothers. The present study investigated paternal PPD, its character and its links to attachment styles, paren
This thesis is constructed on an examination of the global principles and operational methods of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and their linkage to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These phenomena have implications for the sustainable banking business, which aims to deliver banking products and services aligned with a triple-bottom-line corporate approach contributing to sustainable
The field of Cognitive Psychology has discovered a large number of automatic and systematic errors of judgement that humans make. These are called cognitive biases and cause irrational behavior in diverse contexts. Prior research has found that cognitive biases can cause irrational behavior in companies. For example company functions, such as planning, have been found to suffer from systematic err

It draws from 5 in-depth interviews, and aims to understand the reasons behind youth’s engagement in the revolution beyond the framework of youth economic exclusion. It looks into their expectations from the revolutio
Situationen för de många utsatta EU-medborgarna är en relativt ny fråga som saknar tidigare praxis på kommunal nivå. Det lämnas därför ett förhållandevis stort tolkningsutrymme som kan försvåra beslutsfattandet i frågan. Denna uppsats syftar till att skapa en förståelse för hur tjänstemännen har agerat i arbetet med utsatta EU-medborgares situation. För att få förståelsen studeras tjänstemannens r
In Sweden, a sign of success is education, hard work, and ultimately gainful employment. Being employed, however, sometimes carries a risk of being exposed to either physical and/or psychological violence. In judicial-related occupations, the risk of being exposed to such violence are higher than in others. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze professional norms among the employees a

Det huvudsakliga målet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av narrativanalys undersöka hur afrosvenska kvinnor i Sverige, genom berättelser tagna från Instagram kontot ”Svartkvinna” och dokumentären Raskortet, ger uttryck för en upplevd vardagsrasism. Vardagsrasism är ett teoretiskt begrepp utvecklat av forskaren Philomena Essed, vars innebörd liknas med vardaglig underordning. Begreppet är ett värdefu
