Psykisk ohälsa - dölja eller visa

Många typer av psykiska problem är fortfarande i stigmatiserade i samhället medan vissa bör-jar bli allt mer accepterade. I den här studien vill jag undersöka hur öppna personer väljer att vara med sina psykiska problem gentemot sina medmänniskor. Och frågeställning är därför också: hur öppna väljer de att vara?

Short and Long Term Analysis of Energy Consumption, Energy Intensity and Carbon Intensity in China

This paper aims to determine the short and long term determinants of carbon intensity, energy intensity and scale effects for China, with data on the provincial level from 1995 to 2010. The results show that measures which are taken to limit carbon emission increase with carbon intensity on the long run. This means that more measures are taken, when more carbon is emitted per unit of output. The r

Technology, distribution, and long-run profit rate dynamics in the U.S. manufacturing sector, 1948-2011: evidence from a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

The examination of the determining factors of long-run profitability in the manufacturing sector has been largely neglected in the literature. Existing studies either overlook the internal profit dynamics of the sector for the sake of international developments or do not go beyond the application of descriptive statistics. Starting from the theoretical concepts of Marx-biased technical change and

Transformativt ledarskap och inre motivation inom tjänstebranschen - en jämförande studie

Studien ämnar undersöka hur transformativa ledare inom två företag i tjänstebranschen skapar en inre motivation hos sina medarbetare.

Lagen om offentlig upphandling tillåter olika angreppssätt för att utvärdera anbud. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken av de två vanligaste utvärderingsmetoderna mellan relativa metoden och den absoluta metoden som ger de

Taksäkerhet med fokus på fall

Silltrutars (Larus fuscus) födosök på jordbruksmark under häckningsperioden på Gotland, Sverige Den Baltiska underarten av silltrut (Larus fuscus fuscus) förekommer inom ett relativt litet område i Europa. Silltruten är "nära hotad" i Sverige men orsakerna till dess nedgång är okända. Största häckningskolonin i Sverige, på Stora KarlAbstract The Baltic sub-species of the lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus fuscus) occurs within a relatively small region in the Palearctic.

Cocky prey swim away: predator-induced exposure and migratory tendency in a common cyprinid, roach (Rutilus rutilus)

Hellre fly än illa fäkta ”Hemma är där man sist satte sig” som vårtsvinet Pumbaa i filmen Lejonkungen så vackert myntade. Men många är nog de, vilka associerar ordet flytta med ett lägenhetsbyte från en stadsdel till en annan, från större till mindre, från mindre till större. Att flytta är dock inte något som är unikt för människan, långt ifrån. Inom biologin används termen migration, ett fenomeAbstract In nature, a majority of migratory populations are composed of a mixture of both seasonal migrants and year-round residents, a phenomenon known as partial migration. It is of great importance to identify the factors causing the variation in individual decisions of whether or not to migrate. Partly for a more profound understanding of the evolution behind animal migration, and moreover th

Hiphop, kön och sexualitet : en diskursanalys av svenska hiphoptexter

This paper will have a focus on hip hop and feminist theory. The theory is based on Judith Butler's theory of gender as discursive and performative and heterosexuality as the norm. The norm of heterosexuality is influenced by the power structure presented by Michael Foucault and his theory of sexuality and power. The material that will be investigated consists of rap lyrics from 10 Swedish hip

Linking partial migration to the breeding grounds

Linking partial migration to the breeding grounds Partial migration is a behaviour that characterise a single population within which only some individuals migrate. That gives a unique chance for comparison of individuals that leave the breeding grounds during winter and the other individuals that remain the whole year round. This may cause several differences between the individuals that belong

Light interaction with nano-materials

"There is a crack in everything. That's how light gets in." With two simple sentences the famous poet Leonard Cohen describes his perception on how light interacts with matter. This thesis work will try to give a more precise and detailed description of the interaction between light and nano-materials that maybe is going to lose some of the magic that poetry has but this will be com

Implementing a ZigBee-Based Smart Lighting System

All industrial facilities and large warehouses require some sort of lighting solution. They have ongoing activities with workers and trucks moving around at various speed, and to avoid accidents these lighting solutions are often very bright and energy consuming. The most common solution is fluorescent light. These lights are energy consuming and not dimmable. Turning these off by night or when th
