Trenden med virtuellt arbete och arbete hemifrån har snabbt accelererats av Covid-19-pandemin. De huvudsakliga frågorna för denna studie var huruvida de fem stora personlighetsfaktorerna kunde förutsäga individens upplevda nivåer av arbetsengagemang och balans i arbetslivet kring deras hemarbete, i nuläget och under perioden av det senaste året. Detta gjordes genom ett online-frågeformulär med skaThe trend of virtual work and work from home have been rapidly accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The main questions for this study were whether the five major personality factors could predict the individual's perceived levels of work engagement and work life balance during work from home, at present and over time. The relationships were tested using scales for big five personality traits,

In Sweden, what we eat accounts for about a third of the consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions, and there is strong evidence that the most effective way to reduce emissions is to switch to a more plant-based diet. A shift is currently underway in the Swedish food system; the market for plant-based products is showing an exponential growth, coupled with, for the first time since the 1950s, a d

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) provide targets with an alternative route to the public markets and have grown significantly in popularity in recent years. The existing literature on SPAC performance, which predominantly examines the previous generation of SPACs (pre-2010), reveals that the market tends to react positively to acquisition announcement, while post-merger performance

Novel anti-mycobacterial peptides to treat Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health concern since the 19th century. The widespread emergence of anti-microbial resistance to first- line-TB drugs has caused enormous devastation globally as millions of people suffer from the infectious disease. As a result of drug resistance, the treatment plan is extremely long and can take up to two y

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera huruvida en fondförvaltares kön har en påverkan på hur fonden i fråga presterar. Detta på grund ut av att branschen är mansdominerad och det finns olika synsätt kring hur de två könen presterar på marknaden.

En varm kopp kaffe kommer svalna om du låter den stå tillräckligt länge. Lägger du en isbit på marken och lämnar den där kommer den att smälta. Om du känner där isbiten låg efter att du torkat upp smältvattnet kommer det kännas kallt, förutsatt att det inte gått allt för lång tid. Isbiten har alltså tagit upp värme från golvet. Både kaffet som svalnar och isbiten som smälter är exempel på hur tempPreviously recorded data of electron tunneling in and out of a quantum dot (QD) is used to extract knowledge of the state of the system. Using the detailed balance of the system, it is shown that information about the electron temperature in the lead Te, as well as knowledge about the degeneracies of the states in a quantum dot can be obtained from measurements of the tunneling rates in and out of

Sialinsyra är en kolhydrat som finns i och på nästan alla däggdjursceller och fyller många funktioner. En viktig funktion är att agera som kommunikatör mellan celler. Många virus och bakterier använder sig av sialinsyra för att hitta rätt cell att infektera medan andra använder sialinsyra som en mantel för att gömma sig för immunförsvaret. Detta kan användas som ett verktyg för att utveckla mediciSialic acids are nine-carbon carbohydrates that are present and essential in nearly all mammalian cells. Sialic acids have many functions such as molecular recognition, cell adhesion, and markers for pathogens. Some pathogens can take advantage of mammalian sialic acids and disguise themselves as host cells in a phenomenon that is called pathogenic mimicry. By doing this, the bacteria and virus in

Bacteria-eating viruses and their prey: an eternal war The antibiotic resistance problem: what if bacterial viruses were the solution? Nowadays, we hear more and more dreadful stories about nasty bacteria becoming resistant to our best antibiotics. Researchers are therefore spending much time trying to think of alternatives, one of which could be the use of bacteriophages -literally meaning bact

Många av oss sitter nog hemma på kammaren och funderar på hur vi kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling. Vi hör återkommande om de klimathot vi står inför och matas med uppgifter om det ansvar politiker, branscher och individer bär i frågan. Samtidigt är det många som uppfattar att samhället inte agerar helhjärtat. Kanske för att många trots uppmaningar inte vet hur? Med hjälp av teorin nudging, vilThe purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u

The thermal energy generated from the spallation process in the ESS facility must be cooled by cooling systems in order to ensure safe operation of the facility. It is of interest to understand what operating conditions of the cooling systems will ensure this safety for both stationary conditions and transient events. A part of the water cooling system in ESS was modeled in Dymola with the aid of
