The aim of this study was to examine how social work students reason upon their future employer within social work. The analysis was based on three issues; how social work students reason around employments within the public sector, how they reason about employments in privately owned companies as well as which elements is considered significant when social work students chose their future employe

In early 2016, a toxic algae bloom emerged along the coastline of Chiloé archipelago in southern Chile. Shortly thereafter, locals spotted dead animals – ranging from mussels, to penguins and whales – washed ashore along the beaches. The Chilean government, along with actors in the salmon industry, claimed the environmental disaster was a natural phenomenon brought on by the weather phenomenon El

I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur ideologi manifesteras och översätts i Liv Strömquists seriealbum Kunskapens frukt och dess franska översättning L’Origine du monde. Först analyseras källtexten för att identifiera vilka som är de viktigaste språkliga och grafiska medlen som författaren använder för att uttrycka ideologi. Dessa medel kallas för ideologiska markörer. De viktigaste ideologiska markör

The announcement effect of convertible bonds is a well-researched topic. However, there is no clear consensus whether the announcements of convertible bond issuance affect the stock price positively or negatively. Previous research shows that this effect differs between markets. As no previous research has been examining the Nordic markets, we find this to be of interest. The aim of this thesis is

Empirical foundation: The thesis analyses performance measures of 44 Eur

In the wake of 9/11, the Council of the European Union created the so-called ‘CP931’counter-terrorism listing and sanctioning regime. Shortcomings of this regime have been subject to scholarly debates, focused on its lack of respect for human rights and its absent efficiency. However, not yet have these discussions taken into account the meaning of the regime’s relation to national listing policie

Proteiner är stora biomolekyler som finns i alla levande organismer. De är uppbyggda av ett antal byggstenar, så kallade aminosyror med varierande egenskaper, och de utför många uppgifter som är essentiella för att liv skall kunna finnas. Hur proteiner interagerar med varandra och sin omgivning styr deras beteende vilket i sin tur är relaterat till deras funktion. Att förstå dessa interaktioner ärIn this work, lactoferrin was studied as a function of pH, starting at a low pH of 5.5 with 5 mM salt, in terms of interactions and dynamics with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS). Under these conditions lactoferrin was expected and found to have a strong electrostatic repulsion and behaved similar to an isotropic colloid. The glass transition w

Aim: The aim of this thesis is to get a deeper understanding of cultural integration in the pre-stage of a merger process and by doing so also contribute to an understanding of merger outcomes. Research Question: How is cultural integration managed in the pre-merger stage and how is this perceived by employees? Methodology: Through an interpretative epistemological approach we developed a quali

Har du tänkt på att du behöver kissa oftare än vanligt när du har druckit öl? Eller när du druckit te eller kaffe? Detta beror på ett hormon som heter vasopressin och som produceras i hypofysen. Vassopressin är en slags signal till njurarna att återvinna mer vatten från urinen. Koffein och alkohol påverkar hypofysen så att den producerar mindre vasopressin vilket gör så att mer vatten hamnar i uriAquaporin 2 (AQP2) acts as a water channel in the apical membrane of principal renal cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney. Upregulation is controlled by stimulation of these cells with vasopressin. Downregulation of the presence of AQP2 in the membrane occurs through ubiquitination and then sorting of the protein via the ESCRT-I, -II and –III complexes into the Multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

The Ease of Doing Business index, published by the World Bank, ranks countries by how easy it is to do business in them, with the goal of encouraging reforms favoring firms and economic prosperity. However, it is not guaranteed that the index is properly constructed to measure what it aims to measure, and the placement of certain countries on the index, as well as the results from a number of prev

The General Data Protection Regulation are coming as a response to the outdated Directive from 1995. With this, a lot tougher pressures are put on organisations regarding the demand for compliance, which is mainly done through higher penalties, giving organisations an in-citement to oblige. Seen from the perspective of information systems, organisations have to implement the requirements of the re

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en överblick över det nya, men snabbt växande, konceptet crowdsourcing. Konceptet kan enkelt beskrivas som en åtgärd att ta en uppgift som vanligtvis utförs av en utsedd arbetspresterande part (vanligtvis en anställd) och outsourca denna till en odefinerad, anonym och generellt stort grupp av människor i form av en ”öppen inbjudan”. Marknaden har under det senastThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the new, but rapidly growing, concept of crowdsourcing. The basis of the concept can be described as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. In the last couple of decades, the market has exploded

This thesis seeks to answer what causes some governments to restrict foreign funding to domestic civil society organizations while others do not. These repressive measures have increased significantly in all regions of the globe recently and existing research has yet to provide an encompassing explanation for the trend. Considering that neither foreign funding or government repression are exactly

Nukleosynthes i ackretionsskrivor kring svarta hål. Hur bildas atomerna som bygger upp oss människor - till exempel atomer av kol, syre eller kalcium? Den idag gâllande teorin är att lättare atomer såsom väte, helium och litium skapades vid "Big Bang", medan en supernova från en döende stjärna producerade och frigjorde bland annat kol, syre, kalcium och järn. Det som stjärnnor och Big BNucleosynthesis is the mechanism which produces new elements in nuclear reactions. Nuclear reaction rates are highly temperature dependant, and nuclear reactions take place in very hot environments. Current theories predict that the light elements such as hydrogen and helium were produced during the Big Bang. On the other hand, the core of stars produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion. The

By the beginning the second decade of twentieth century, a new regime came to power in Iran. While considering the Iranian society, her institutions, mechanisms and structures as a backward and dysfunctional one, the new regime started to set up a new order, based on modern values. In this case, old urban structures were among those aspects of the Iranian culture and society which were selected a

Allting är uppbyggt av atomer, inte bara träd, djur eller bläcket i dessa bokstäver, utan även astronomiska objekt så som stjärnor och planeter. Stjärnor är i princip extremt varma och kompakta moln av atomer, som skickar ut ljus i alla riktningar. Astronomer är intresserade av vilken sammansättning av atomer som bygger upp stjärnor eftersom detta hjälper dem att förstå hur stjärnor och galaxer biStellar abundances are important for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies and provide us with constraints on stellar evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis. To determine stellar abundances accurately, atomic data is crucial. This data is incomplete for many elements, especially in the infrared region. In particular, hyperfine structure (hfs) data in the near-infrared region is lacking

Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v

I Sverige bedrivs en omfattande transport av farligt gods på vägnätet, vilket medför allvarliga risker för samhället (Stenberg, 2007). För att hantera riskerna från transporten föreslås riskreducerande åtgärder, vars effekter dock är osäkra (Sanglén, 2005). Mot bakgrund av det begränsade beslutsunderlaget vid fysisk planering av riskreducerande åtgärder för transport av farligt gods motiveras därf

The aim of this project was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on the flocculating behaviour of beer starter culture yeast strains isolated from both top and bottom fermenting yeasts from a previous study (Li.Yu.,2014 unpublished). In the present study,microbial enumeration was done through basic culturing and plating techniques. Yeast strains and isolates of Lactobacillus p

Värdepapperiseringar och dess ekonomiska påverkan på den finansiella marknaden har sedan introduktionen av instrumentet på 60-talet varit ett utbrett verktyg framförallt för finansiella företag, men även för icke-finansiella företag. Men trots fenomenets praktiska utbredning på den värdepapperiserande marknaden, återfinns det desto mindre forskning och empiriska studier inom ämnet. Det har däremot
