Within this context, the present study analyzes Chinese media discourse on
It is challenging for the food industry to deliver products that satisfy consumers changing desires and needs. Baobab is a fruit that holds potential for the development of trendy food products due to its rich nutritional profile and unique rheology. Unlike most fruits, it contains a dry pulp with a moisture content of 11-12 % (Phytotrade, 2008). Despite these features, baobab has been overlooked
As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results

Recensenten spelar en avgörande roll i spridningen av populärkulturellt material. Hon är dock inte fri att uttrycka sig hur hon vill utan måste hålla sig inom musikgenrens diskursiva ramar. Eftersom recensenten måste hålla sig inom diskursen blir hon delaktig i att förstärka samt befästa genretypiska stereotyper. Diskursen kräver dessutom en särpräglad lingvistik vilket gör att texten kan vara svå
In the past decade the European Union has established itself as an actor in Civilian Crisis Management. This process has been accompanied by a set-up and development of various institutions and concepts that guide the work in this field. As well as in other areas of European foreign policy, in Civilian Crisis Management a gap between policy-making and outcome can be identified. Taking this as a st
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur vidsträckt den anställdes kritikrätt är inom den offentliga respektive privata sektorn. Av anställningsavtalet följer att den anställde ska vara lojal mot arbetsgivaren. Den anställdes rätt att föra fram kritik utgör dock en inskränkning i denna lojalitetsförpliktelse. Den offentligt anställde erhåller grundlagsskydd för sin yttrandefrihet och har såle
This thesis investigates differences in the industrial composition of employment and value added across COROP regions in the Netherlands for each year over the period 1995-2007. It is found that the direction of the regional specialisation trend – as measured by the Coefficient of Regional Specialisation – has fallen for employment but has risen for value added. This relation is further explored b
I Sverige tar cirka 1400 människor sitt liv varje år och ungefär tio gånger så många behandlas inom sjukvården efter ett självmordsförsök. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att identifiera olika faktorer vilka den självmordsnära patienten ansåg viktiga för omvårdnaden. Tolv vetenskapliga artiklar granskades och analyserades. I resultatet framkom att ett flertal faktorer spelade roll för hur pa
Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva och redogöra för anestesisjuksköterskornas upplevelser av att vara behjälpliga med stickhjälp åt vårdavdelningarna vid tre sjukhus i Region Skåne. Kvalitativ metodik har använts, och insamlat intervjumaterial har analyserats med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Benners teori från Novis till Expert användes för att belysa hur anestesisjuksköterskor med varierande e
