Issue of study For the past ten years there has been a remarkable growth in the wind power industry. During 2003 - 2010 the production capacity increased by 456 % in Sweden, corresponding to total capacity of 2019 MW. An additional 754 MW was installed in 2011, and there is a planned capacity installation of 950 MW for 2012. This will, according to a prognosis from Svensk Vindenergi, generate a po

Gamification is a new trend that seeks to engage people and change their behaviour by implementing game-design thinking in non-game contexts. Recent analytics predicts that more than 70 % of the world’s 2000 largest organisations will have at least one gamified platform by 2014, which indicates that gamification is, and will continue to be, very important in the future of IT-strategy and digital m

Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie om ett utvecklingsprojekt på östra piren i Karlshamn i Blekinge. Studien intresserar sig för hur konkurrens mellan geografiska territorier på tar sig för uttryck på den lokala platsen. Utvecklingsinsatsen som studeras är Netport Science Port etapp V som är en nybyggnation som är tänkt att attrahera forskare genom en kreativ miljö. Frågeställningarna handlar om

Uppsatsen behandlar förhållandet mellan jämställdhetslagstiftningen och principen om arbetsmarknadsparternas självständighet, och förlängningen motsättningen mellan de båda styrsystemen politik och marknad. Över tid har jämställdhetslagstiftningens innehåll och omfattning skärpts i flera omgångar, vilket åtminstone principiellt sett har inskränkt parternas självständighet. Trots detta präglas lagsThis essay concerns the relation between sex equality legislation and the independence of the labour market organisations. The relation can also be recognised as the opposition between the two steering systems politics and markets. Over the years the sex equality legislation has been sharpened several times, which has led to a limitation of the organisations’ independence – at least in a principle

The people of northern Uganda has for decades been entangled in a conflict between, on the one hand, crude government forces and, on the other hand, the brutal rebel organization the Lord’s Resistance Army led by the ruthless Joseph Kony. In 2003 the Ugandan government referred the situation to the International Criminal Court with the official stance that their intention was to, through capturing

Denna uppsats studerar intresset hos svenska företag och konsumenter för en märkning om vattenåtgång på livsmedel från gröda/djur till färdig vara. Vid produktion av det flesta typer av varor finns en vattenåtgång med mer eller mindre skadlig påverkan på miljön beroende på liter per kilo, geografisk allokering och årstid. De miljöeffekter vattenåtgången innebär är majoriteten av konsumenterna omed

In 2007, the swedish government decided to let the authority of land survey produce an updated height surface model with higher resolution. The data collection for the modelling is performed with airborne laser scanning, which in this form can be used in several other applications. One of these additional applications for the laser data is inventory of forest. The method most frequently used for t

In this master thesis a process in Delmia was created for digital test assembly. Delmia is a computer program for simulations, at Scania Delmia is used for simulating truck assembly. The process created was made to be easily reused in future tests. The base of the process came from the best practice document for manufacturing at Scania. To do this a study of the systems at Scania was made to get a

The present research tests how different evaluation modes (separate and joint) affect anticipated warm glow resulting from helping behavior. Warm glow can be defined as the positive feelings that arise from helping behavior. In two survey studies, participants were asked to anticipate how strongly they thought they would experience warm glow-related feelings in different situations in which they d

Background: Fibrinogen, a plasma protein essential for clot formation, can reach critically low levels during bleeding. The most commonly used method to determine fibrinogen is the photometric Clauss method. Intravenous colloid fluids can lead to falsely high values of fibrinogen when measured with the photometric Clauss method in comparison to an immunologic method. The main objective of this stu

This study investigates the concept of ‘trust’ through exploring the relationship between answers to a standard survey questions and behaviour observed in an economical experiment. The survey question has been used in a wide range of reports and studies related to economic development. Therefore, ensuring that the survey question has high validity and that it accurately captures the level of trust

In recent years, self-employment has emerged as an important avenue of economic livelihoods for immigrants in the western world, including the Chinese immigrants. The debate on immigrant self-employment has been widely discussed across academia and given a considerable attention by researchers, policymakers and governments. This study addresses the self-employment experience of Chinese immigrants

Migrant women facing domestic violence in the Council of Europe have been traditionally characterised, except in some national countries, as not having any legal possibility to leave the situation with proper resources, or being able to guarantee their stay in the country they are living. Since the approval of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and

Syftet med studien är att dels undersöka om terapeutens anknytningsstil är en prediktor för val av terapiinriktning, och dels hur det kan se ut i psykoterapeutens upplevelsevärld i berättelser rörande centrala anknytningsteoretiska teman: närhet, distans, beroende och oberoende. Studien använde sig av självskattningsinstrumentet RQ som besvarades av 57 psykoterapistuderande samt nio genomförda per

The substitution reaction of complexes, (PCNR)PdCl, where R = (methyl) (1), (ethyl) (2) and(propyl) (3), with iodide where studied in 1-10 mM LiCl in methanol. The substitution was followed under pseudo first order conditions with an excess of incoming and leaving ligand. The high reactivity of complex 1 was attributed to the low steric bulkiness of the methyl substituent. The order of reactivity

In the west, out-innovating China has been a frequent proposal to deal with the feared threat posed by China’s rapid industrialization. However, China is not content with being only a manufacturing economy and has subsequently introduced multiple programs to foster research and development domestically. One of the most prominent sectors targeted by China’s programs and upheld by the west as their

This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam

Trash can harm both the environment and humans. It can maintain for a long time in the environment before degrading and during that time it can pollute soils and poison animals. This study focuses on the Pellekan campaign which started to reduce littering in the city of Mölndal. The campaign has been working the same way from the start in 2002 and now is time to evaluate how well it worked. For th
