The main question for this thesis is to discuss how come there are so many different theological motivations for the social actions of the church. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how this can be. The main study is in the context of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden. The organisation of the church does not give central regulations to the local congregations which means that they ar
Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan introduktion, person-organization fit (P-O fit) och arbetstillfredsställelse. Om ett samband fanns var också syftet att undersöka vilken av dimensionerna introduktion respektive person-organization fit som bäst förutbestämde arbetstillfredsställelse. För att undersöka hur dimensionerna förhåller sig till varandra gjordes
The focus of this master’s thesis has been getting a six-legged robot to autonomously navigate around a room with obstacles. To make this possible a time-of-flight camera has been implemented in order to map the environment. Two force sensing resistors were also mounted on the front legs to sense if the legs are in contact with the ground. The information from the sensors together with a path plan
In this prospective nested case-control study we analyzed the circumferential differences in estimated cortical thickness (Est CTh) of the mid femoral neck as a risk factor for osteoporotic hip fractures in elderly women and men. Segmental QCT analysis of the mid femoral neck was applied to assess cortical thickness in anatomical quadrants. The superior region of the femoral neck was a stronger pr
Broad public contention against nuclear energy can be observed as a new phenomenon in Japanese society after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. This study aimed to identify a sufficient explanation about why the emergence of such a protest movement only occurred after the direct experience of a critical event and did not happen before. Discrediting a sole and simple grievance
This work investigates the imaging performance, in terms of contrast and resolution, of two different time-gated ballistic imaging setups commonly used in spray research. It is shown that the two setups generate similar spatial resolution in the presence of scattering media. The simpler (2f) setup, however, is less sensitive to component misalignments and time-gate induced aberrations than the com
Cell proliferation affects both cellular geometry and topology in a growing tissue, and hence rules for cell division are key to understanding multicellular development. Epithelial cell layers have for long times been used to investigate how cell proliferation leads to tissue-scale properties, including organism-independent distributions of cell areas and number of neighbors. We use a cell-based t
The synthesis of series of 1,2,1' substituted bis(diphenylphosphino)- ruthenocenyl (1-4) and ferrocenyl cis-platinum(II) (5-7) and gold(I) (8-12) complexes are described. Crystal structures of 2 and 4, as well as 5, 6 and 10 confirm the molecular geometry of these ligands and their metal complexes. Preliminary investigation of four gold complexes as potential anticancer, antiHIV and antimalaria sh
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målet med studien är att se vilka samband som finns mellan insamlad fältdata och beräknad satellitdata för bokskogsbestånd i södra Sverige (Häckeberga naturreservat och naturområde). Fältdata som använts består av uppskattat bladyteindex, beräknad biomassa samt kategoriserade åldersgrupper av 19 provytor bokskog (Fagus Sylvatica), indelat i tre grupper. ProvytorThe aim of this investigation is to study the relationship between leaf area index, biomass and satellite reflectance data of some beech forests (Fagus Sylvatica) in southern Sweden (Häckeberga nature reserve). In 19 forest stands, measurements of tree structural parameters like tree height and tree diameter at breast height were performed. In addition, the leaf area index was estimated optically
This is an examination of how interdependence affects the behaviour of politicians and their ability to govern the way they want to. I analyze the memoirs of two Swedish prime ministers, Tage Erlander and Ingvar Carlsson to explore their experiences. I focus on how the increasing interdependence affects the politicians with regards to security, welfare, and financial policies. Sweden had a special
‘Green growth’ is a concept that has gained credence in the literature and wider policy-making circles, broadly referring to the implementation of policy and development strategies that encourage economic growth whilst ensuring that environmental wellbeing is maintained and / or improved. However, few examples of ‘green growth strategies’ have been produced to date, and the literature is sparse re
The purpose of this study was to illustrate which conditions people with a service users perspective considers important to leave and avoid reccurence to crime. The study was based on qualitative interviews with five people who earlier have been in jail and today live socialy integrated in the swedish society. The theoretical perspective was based on social psychology with a principally base of so
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the strategic consequences of using strategic alliance, as an alternative to private equity to satisfy SMI’s short and long term funding and growth. Methodology: The thesis is based on a single case study within the sponsor company. Action research with a scenario based questionnaire was used to collect empirics, primarily from the management g
