As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configu
Bakgrund: Personer med könsdysfori genomgår en mental och/eller kroppslig förändring. Det sker även en förändring i de aktiviteter de utför, där meningsfulla aktiviteter i vissa fall väljs bort eller anpassas på grund av obehag inför den egna kroppen eller hur man blir bemött av andra. Syfte: Att undersöka hur vuxna personer med könsdysfori, som transformerat till önskad könstillhörighet upplever Background: People with gender dysphoria go through a mental and/or physical change. A change also occurs in the activities they perform, meaningful activities are in some cases deselected or adapted due to discomfort of their own body or how they are treated by others. Aim: To investigate how adults with gender dysphoria, who have transformed into their desired gender, experience activities in ev
Tucker Carlson Tonight och Hannity är två konservativa, republikanskt vinklade, nyhetsprogram på den amerikanska nyhetskanalen Fox News (Grynbaum, 2020). Under sommaren år 2020 hade de två programmen flest tittarsiffror av alla amerikanska program på kabelkanaler i USA. Detta, trots att de stödjer ett republikanskt parti som enligt V-deminstitutets demokratiindex under flera år brutit mot ett fler
År 2018 meddelade EU-domstolen förhandsavgörandet C-284/16 Achmea som kom att göra investeringstvister mellan en investerare från en EU-medlemsstat mot en annan EU-medlemsstat osäker. I domslutet konstate-rade EU-domstolen att artiklarna 267 och 344 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt utgjorde hinder mot en sådan skiljeklausul som fanns i ett bilateralt investeringsavtal mellan SlovakieIn 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rendered its preliminary ruling C-284/16 Achmea, making the future of investment treaty arbitration between an investor from one EU member state and another EU member state uncertain. In the judgement’s operative part, the CJEU con-cluded that articles 267 and 344 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union precludes arbitration clause
The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings. While new technology can solve some of these issues, behavioural changes has also been identified as an important factor to achieve a modal shift from cars to walking, cycling or public transport.
This study tests the efficiency of the Swedish and the Dutch stock markets by analyzing the performance of two dividend strategies – dividend capturing and dividend timing. To test these strategies and what factors influence them, the researchers collect a sample of 95 different firms, about half from each country and a total of over 8 000 dividend observation. A cross sectional regression is run
We investigate to what degree return on technology stocks are affected by industry-, country- and global factors. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to look deeper into the industry factors by examining what the exposure of technology stocks to industry-specific shocks is caused by. In previous studies, the aim has been to try to determine whether industry-, country- or global effects are the m
Andelen äldre i befolkningen ökar stadigt i Sverige och allt fler äldre bor ensamma. Ensamhet hos äldre har därför blivit ett allt angelägnare problem. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka vad sjuksköterskan kan bidra med för att minska ensamhet hos äldre. Metod: Sökning efter relevant litteratur gjordes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL där 10 artiklar valdes ut och analyserad
This paper examines the properties of the two recent structural break unit root tests developed in Harvey, Leybourne and Taylor (2013) and Narayan and Popp (2010). The properties are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations in an environment where two trend breaks of small to large magnitudes are present. We find that the Harvey, Leybourne and Taylor (2013) test has superior size and power properti
Bakgrund: Vi upplever att de tongivande forskarna inom den nordiska tjänsteforskningen är alltför konceptuella i sina slutsatser, då de sällan tar hänsyn till vad som djupgående krävs i kontexten inom olika verksamhetsområden. Då framgångsrika tjänsteverksamheter inte enbart är individanpassade, utan även situationsanpassade, finner vi att de förutsättningar som specifikt människonära tjänsteverks
Bakgrund: I Sverige söker ca 2,5 miljoner människor akutsjukvård årligen, trenden är en ökande belast- ning på akutsjukvården. Patienter som söker akutsjukvård trots att vårdbehovet inte är akut är ett problem för både akutsjukvården och patienten. Syfte: Sammanställa gemensamma karakteristika hos de patienter som söker akutsjukvård men vid triage bedöms vara icke akut skadade eller sjuka. Metod:L
There are around 80, 000 polluted areas in Sweden, of which 1, 000 are classified as very high-risk areas and in need of decontamination. From the Gullspångs Elektrokemiska Fabrik AB in Sweden there is a great risk of metals, aliphatic and molybdenum spreading to the Gullspångs River. The river is a Natura 2000-area and in the river the so called Gullspång salmon is found, which is protected. Her
Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur lättlästa nyheter på webbplatsen 8 sidor fungerar för personer med svenska som andraspråk. Målgruppen för lättlästa texter är stor och indelad i primära och sekundära målgrupper. Personer med svenska som andraspråk, i denna uppsats benämnda andraspråkstalare, tillhör den sekundära målgruppen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur andraspråkstalare uppfattar in
When planning for electrical installation work it is suggested in ESA, Elsäkerhetsanvisningarna, to conduct some sort of risk assessment both before and during the work to maintain a certain electrical safety level. These risk assessments vary between different companies both in quality and method, but the aim is the same. One of the issues arise from the fact that risk assessment in ESA is not sp
Wine is an important cultural crop and is grown in vineyards that sometimes claim to have a unique "terroir" - a specific taste and character based on their physical attributes and location. Regulations and previously published work are not easily available, into how to measure and assess this terroir. It is important for countries such as Sweden to have a terroir assessment system, whic
Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun
Globally, 500 million smallholder farmers require finance to secure a more productive, efficient, sustainable, and inclusive food system. Thus far, traditional financial services have been unsuccessful in reaching these farmers. Yet, mobile money services are proposed as a potential tool for enabling smallholder farmers access to financial services. Nonetheless, this proposed impact of mobile mone
Supply chain management (SCM) has become more challenging than ever, considering the effect of globalization on organizations as operating through transnational business networks. Conventional supply chains have been facing struggles such as lack of advanced technologies and traceability in operation, which then leads to operational inefficiencies. Blockchain (BC) technology offers a set of featur
The vehicle industry is making great strides in electric and hybrid technologies, representing a significant step towards reducing emissions from personal vehicles. In order to make the transition to new hybrid technologies as convincing as possible, well-functioning and smooth transitions between traditional combustion engines and electric motors are required. So-called mild hybrids enable a cos
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida asylsökande uppfattas som rättighetssubjekt i den svenska Riksdagens diskurs om Lagen om eget boende (EBO-lagen), för att därigenom uppmärksamma vilka möjligheter icke-medborgare har att få sina mänskliga rättigheter tillgodosedda i ett nationalstatligt system. För att studera detta använder jag mig av ett teoretiskt perspektiv som har sin utg
