Public acceptability is important for sustainable land use zoning policy to be successfully implemented. This study examined the effectiveness of tailoring messages with cultural worldviews to induce positive attitudes and improve public acceptability of sustainable land use zoning policy in a post-conflict setting. A total of 538 participants were randomly divided into three groups. Two were trea
Larvae from the non-biting midge family Chironomidae have previously been demonstrated to be sensitive to environmental pollution in aquatic environments. Exposure to different contaminants has resulted in an increasing occurrence of deformities of the mouthparts in the larvae. Common pollutions which induce mouthpart deformitys are metals (such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr, Ni), pesticides and some
We present multiband Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the calcium-rich supernova (SN) SN 2019ehk at 276-389 days after explosion. These observations represent the latest B-band to near-IR photometric measurements of a calcium-rich transient to date and allow for the first opportunity to analyze the late-time bolometric evolution of an object in this observational SN class. We find that the late-t
Hayek sees poverty in its absolute sense as a factual problem, which the society has an obligation to deal with. Relative poverty, on the other hand, is not a problem with which the state should be concerned. Hayek approves the use of redistribution to decrease absolute poverty. However, redistribution of income for the sake of greater material equality would necessarily imply unequal treatment of
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find
Authenticity is known as an essential driving factor for tourists' experiences. Researchers have provided a deep theoretical understanding of authenticity, distinguishing four established approaches: objective authenticity, constructed authenticity, postmodernism view on authenticity and existential authenticity. More recent research initiated examinations on the perceptions of authenticity. T
Utifrån vandringar och undersökningar skapas ett lokalt förankrat konstnärsresidens i vilket man som konstnär och besökare har goda möjligheter att bygga vidare på den karaktär som mittskåne erbjuder. Inspiration har hämtats från lokala författare och diktare men också från bygden i sig. Frostavallen, vilket valet av site föll på, har ett rikt förflutet och en unik historia. Genom det här projekteBased on hikes and research an artist residency is created where one as a visitor or artist have a good prospect of creating something within the unique character of mittskåne. Inspiration has been found in local authors and poets but also from the area itself. Frostavallen, which became the site of this project, has a rich and very interesting past. Through this project I hope to revitalise the a
This thesis investigates to what extent Swedish students of Japanese can understand wasei-eigo, as well as their thoughts and attitudes toward it. It further investigates if some word categories are more incomprehensible than others and what aspects can determine their comprehension. The survey consisted of a questionnaire with 30 words, divided into 4 different categories, which the participants
Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl
Begreppet autonomi används ofta för att beskriva var och ens rätt till självbestämmande. Samtidigt kan begreppet avse kognitiva förutsättningar för att kunna reflektera och agera i enlighet med sitt tänkande. Detta innebär att autonomibegreppet kan syfta på förmågan till autonomi. Denna otydlighet kring vad som avses med begreppet kan leda till godtycklighet vid bedömningar av andras autonomi, exeThe concept of autonomy is often used to describe everyone's right to selfdetermination. However, the concept is also used to describe substantial cognitive capacity to reflect and act in accordance with one’s conscious thought. This lack of clarity about what is meant by the term could lead to arbitrary assessments of other's degree of autonomy, for example within health care and social s
Purpose: During the last years Real Options have been established in many areas of the day-to-day business. Recent literature also tries to address Supply Chain problems with option theory, since an efficient Supply Chain increasingly gains in importance as a significant competitive advantage. This thesis tries to answer the question, if Real Options can mitigate the costs induced by the Bullwhip
This study aims to broaden our historical knowledge about ideas of rationalism and monocultures in forestry science and rational forest management. Empirically, it focuses on the writings of Swedish forestry scientist Henrik Hesselman, active in the early twentieth century. The texts were analyzed using the method of historical contextualization. The study indicates that monocultures historically
Objective: There is a growing view that inherited or acquired thrombophilia may predispose a woman towards an adverse pregnancy outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate whether risk factors for placental abruption because of such thrombophilias (such as carriership of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin G20210A gene mutation and homozygous MTHFR C677T) might be used as a predictor for plac
This paper introduces a model of the atrioventricular node function during atrial fibrillation (AF), and describes the related ECG-based estimation method. The proposed model is defined by parameters that characterize the arrival rate of atrial impulses, the probability of an impulse choosing either one of the two atrioventricular nodal pathways, the refractory periods of these pathways, and the p
Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur föräldrar till barn intagna på särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades av föräldrarna. ”Föräldrar” blir i undersökninThe aim of this study is to analyze how mothers with children placed in Swedish juvenile homes interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. The mothers who were interviewed spoke about some Coordinators that they appreciated. They then pain
The macrocyclic ketone (MK) group of fragrance ingredients was evaluated for safety following a complete literature search. For high end users, calculated maximum dermal exposures vary from 0.13% to 1.10%; systemic exposures vary from 0.0005 to 0.0441 mg/kg/day. The MKs had low acute toxicity and no significant repeat dose toxicity. Liver weight and blood biochemistry effects were reversible after
