Today the use of mobile phones are widespread, and they are often kept in trouser pockets. As the thigh is comparatively less sensitive to vibrations, and vibrotactile sensitivity is diminished during movement, detection of vibratory mobile notications during walking is lower than in a still position. Vibrotactile detection rate is hypothesized to be dependent on gait phase. Method: 28 subjects we
This paper finds that an increase in population size had a disproportionately large effect on carbon emissions for OECD countries between 1990 - 2007. A 1% increase in total population increased carbon emissions by 1.3%. As the relationship is non-unitary, this suggests that as population size increases, so do emissions per capita. Moreover, countries with higher population densities produced less
Studien har för avsikt att finna gemensamma faktorer som finns hos missbrukande kvinnor och därigenom få en uppfattning om vad man bör tänka på med kvinnor i behandling. Undersökningen visar både internationellt och nationellt att missbrukande kvinnors utsatthet är procentuellt stor då det gäller misshandel, sexuella övergrepp och prostitution i jämförelse med mannen. Ekonomisk fattigdom, i kombin
A lot of money is being spent by the governments all over the world in developing and deploying Government to Citizen (G2C) e-government applications. These applications serve the purpose of providing better civic services to the citizens. The success of such applications is frequently heard and witnessed in the developed countries but there is a prevailing concern about the success and adoption o
Mot bakgrund av barnomsorgens förändrliga förutsättningar med grund i bland annat ändrad lagstiftning och en markant ökning av barn i åldrarna 1-5, utarbetade Malmö Stad projektet ”Kompetensförsörjning Förskola” i syfte att motarbeta aktuella och framtida personal- och kompetensbehov. Utifrån detta framkom intresset att berika Malmö Stads projekt med såväl teori som empiri för att bland annat avgö
Den moderna synen på prejudikathantering utgår inte ifrån att formulera någon allomfattande prejudikatlära eller prejudikattolkningslära. Istället respekteras prejudikatens olikheter och behandlingen av dem tillåts variera och anpassas efter förutsättningarna i det enskilda fallet. Den svenska rättsvetenskapen har kommit en bit på vägen med att anpassa prejudikattolkningsläran utifrån den modernaThe modern view of precedent management in Sweden doesn’t rely on any comprehensive precedent doctrine or precedent interpretation doc-trine. Instead the differences between precedents are respected, and the precedent management is allowed to vary depending on the circumstances related to the precedent at hand. The Swedish legal science has made some progress in adapting the prece-dent interpret
Politeness in Japanese has been the subject of many linguistic inquiries. Overarching these is Brown and Levinson's (1987) influential but also criticized (see Matsumoto, 1988; Ide 1992) theory on politeness as a cross-linguistic factor. By looking into the desu/masu-form and how it contrasts the so called plain form in Japanese, I will show that some of the criticism is misplaced, partly due
Inkonsekventa resultat kring konsekvenserna av emotional labor lägger grunden för ett utökat behov av vidare undersökningar av begreppet och dess konsekvenser för såväl de anställda personligen som för deras prestationer i de organisationer de verkar i. Då sjuksköterskeyrket utgör en specifik kontext med emotioner som ett vanligt förekommande inslag i det dagliga arbetet är emotional labor i förhå
Enterprise resource planning systems constitute a big part of the reality for the information system workers and companies who aim to integrate their business processes. For this goal to be achieved, a fit needs to be reached between the ERP and an organization’s structure and processes. One possible choice to achieve this fit is by customizing the ERP system. These organizational structures to wh
Tidigare forskning har visat att när mäns manlighet ifrågasätts genom ett så kallat maskulinitetshot, så kommer de tillfälligt att bete sig mer stereotypt manligt (Vandello, Bosson, Cohen, Burnaford & Weaver, 2008). Detta för att försöka visa inför andra män att de tillhör ingruppen män. I denna studie undersökte vi om maskulinitetshot kommer att få män att bli mer risktagande och mer intresse
Vessel-source pollution is regarded as one of the major sources that harm marine environment. It has become an issue of public concern since 20th century due to a series of oil pollution incidents on the sea. Fortunately, international law has been developed to control this source of pollution taking consideration of the importance of protection and preservation of marine environment and sustainab
The purpose of this study was to examine young people’s experiences of compulsory institutional care in psychiatric clinics. The study was conducted by a qualitative content analysis in which I studied six different blogs on the internet that were selected through a non-random selection. The analysis is based on symbolic interactionism, Goffman´s theory about total institutions and the powerconcep
What is Financial Assistance? Quantitative studies made on Swedish social workers (Stranz 2007 et al) handling means-tested benefits have shown that decisions taken by social workers are often hard to predict. Hence, means-tested benefits seem to be characterised by a lack of consistent application of rules. Contextual factors for the social worker administering the benefits (such as gender, age
Det har skrivits mycket om Karen Blixen genom åren, både av danska, svenska och engelsktalande författare. Hennes liv och författarskap har fascinerat många, så även mig. I min uppsats kommer jag att ta fasta på några frågeställningar med anknytning till Den afrikanske farm. Ett syfte är att belysa genreproblematiken, och svårigheten att sätta in Den afrikanske farm i något av de vedertagna genre
Social media has taken a prominent position in our society and is constantly debated in media; warnings are mixed with promises of big opportunities. Young people writing about fashion and every day life make big money, politicians seek online for voters and big companies have found a new way to interact with their customers. Publishing houses and writers are forced to find their place in this new
Floriculture industry is very dynamic in its varieties and trade volumes demonstrating 6 to 9 % of annual growth. It gets also more and more diverse in terms of global actors. Now there are about 120 countries actively involved in the floriculture industry as global manufactures with the Netherlands as an epicentre of world flower production and distribution. In that respect, analysis of the flori
In order to increase trustworthiness and obtain societal legitimacy, media organisations want their members to become ambassadors. But becoming an ambassador requires identification. Often management tries to foster identification by implementing organisational values without including members in the process of constructing such values. In the present study we explore member identification in rela
The writing of a business plan has become increasingly more highlighted in the academic world during the last few years as courses are being taught on the subject and a number of competitions have been started. Lund Institute of Technology co-organises an annual business plan competition called Venture Cup in order to encourage students and other participants to get into entrepreneurship. People a
