Denna studie undersöker upplevelsen av att vara i könsminoritet på utbildning. Syftet var att studera skillnader i att vara kvinna på en mansdominerad utbildning eller man på en kvinnodominerad. Skillnader i nöjdhet med utbildningen, välmående, samt avhoppstankar var en central utgångspunkt. Variablerna likhet och tillhörighet, sociala identitetshot, stöd och barriärer, upplevd kompetens, samt kön

This essay is written because I would like to find out what the doctors in ancient Rome thought about overweight women. The reason why it is written is due to the fact that modern medicine associates many diseases with overweight, and because I myself happen to be overweight. I will do a comparison between modern medicine and the ancient medical writers to see if they did associate overweight with

This paper cointains an analysis over how the network of roads between visible burial grounds might have looked during the iron age. The area chosen is the nearby surroundings around Hörby, in the middle of Scania in the parishes of Hörby, Fulltofta, Äspinge and Södra Rörum. Three roads are selected as material, and one of them is the road connecting the important central places of Uppåkra and Vä.

Skogen och skogsindustrin är en stor och viktig del av Sveriges ekonomi. 214 miljarder kronor var förädlingsvärdet för skogsindustrin i Sverige 2011. Av all produktiv skog i Sverige ägs 50 % av ungefär 328.000 privatpersoner och ytterligare 25 % av privatägda företag. Skogen har därför en viktig del både i landets och privatpersoners ekonomi. Mellan 1995 och 2010 steg priset på den svenska skogs

This thesis deals with the matter of competitive balance in European club football. Its starting point is UEFA’s new set of regulations known as Financial Fair Play. These new rules officially started to be active for the season 2013-2014. The ground rule for FFP as I will call it further on, is the so-called “break-even” criterion, and cancels the possibility for clubs to make losses at the end o

This study reports the findings of research about female extreme athletes. The aim of the study was to identify differences in personality and anxiety between female extreme athletes, male extreme athletes and exercisers. Big Five personality trait scale and State Trait Anxiety Inventory was used. Further the experience of Flow was measured to find differences between extreme athletes, exercisers,

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine how plural organizations use different control methods in order to achieve goal congruence. Methodology: A qualitative case study has been conducted. Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical chapter covers the value-creating business model through a compilation of previous research and theories of result- and action control. Empirical foundation:

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Monomerer är mindre kemiska byggstenar som bygger upp en större molekylstruktur kallad polymer och kan jämföras med tegelstenar i ett hus. Monomererna i vår produkt binds samman genom så kallade esterbindningar och polymeren som bildas kallas därför en polyester. Polyestrar har många användningsområden såsom plast i PET flaskor, färg, och konstfiber i textilmaterThe main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and time on the isomerization of 1‐methylidene ethane‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MIA) during the synthesis of MIA to 1‐methyl‐trans‐ethene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MTA) and 1‐methyl‐cis‐ethene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MCA) based polyesters. Twelve batches of poly(neopentyl itaconate) and one bat

This work deals with the construction technique and indoor climate in both new and old single family houses, in the city of Sulaymaniyah northern Iraq. An analysis has been done on two residential buildings by two different developers, a private and the other commercial. The problems that many buildings in Kurdistan have had and still have today are the poor indoor comfort temperature and high ene

The aim of this thesis is to study a pair of portfolio strategies that ideally could perform well during most economical environments. These Environments are portrayed as periods of Rising or falling market expectations of future growth, inflation and credit risk. The concepts behind these strategies are based on Bridgewater Associates. All Weather fund. Current expectations of future conditions a

The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan

Antti Keksi (c:a 1622–1705), som levde i Övertorneås Torakankorva, anses vara den förste till namnet kände finske allmogeskalden. Hans Kvädet över vårfloden i Torneälven år 1677 har traderats till eftervärlden i fyra uppteckningar: den som gjordes för Giuseppe Acerbi under hans besök i Övertorneå 1799 (ACERBI), den som har hört till Henrik Gabriel Porthan (1739–1804) i Åbo (PORTHAN) och den som hö

Smärta är problematiskt vad gäller personer med demens då deras kognitiva förmåga gör det svårt för dem att förmedla sina upplevelser av smärta. Detta ställer särskilda krav på sjuksköterskan och annan hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal eftersom upplevelse av smärta förmedlas på andra sätt och därför måste observeras. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa olika smärtskattningsskalor samt belysa faktore

Recent trends of permafrost thawing in the subarctic are expected to cause increased release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to inland waters, which might have cascading effects on downstream aquatic ecosystems and release of CO2 to the atmosphere. This study therefore aimed at evaluating the applicability of an empirical band ratio algorithm for estimating chromophoric dissolved organic matter

Most of all deaths from cancer are due to tumor metastasis, specifically 9 out of 10. Metastasis is associated with a number of factors, including cancer cell motility, tumor adhesive property and cancer shape. As a result, the dynamics, development and consequent prognosis of tumors are still not well characterized. The development of immunotherapies for cancer has been a focus for research in re
