Språkets påverkan på ekonomisk beteende är ett område som endast nyligen har uppmärksammats. Tidigare studier har snuddat på språkets effekt på riskbeteende, men inte undersökt detta beteende hos barn. Skillnader i språkkunskaper bland barn kan tyda på skillnader i kognitiv utveckling och därmed en förståelse av ekonomiska koncept. I ett kontrollerat experiment undersöks 20 enspråkiga och 20 flersThe effect of language on economic behavior is an area of research recently brought to public attention. Previous studies have touched upon the effect of language on risk attitudes, though this behavior in children has been studied to a lesser extent. Observing differences in language skills in children may indicate differences in developmental gains, and therefore an understanding of economic con

This paper provides an exploratory analysis about the effect of transportation infrastructure on poverty reductions in Mexico between 1990 and 2010. Using the density of highways and unprecedented official estimations of poverty at municipality level, I show that this type of infrastructure lead to reductions in poverty. On average, for every additional kilometer (km) of highway (km/100km2) povert

The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu

In order to increase the traffic safety on two-lane roads the Swedish Road Administration introduced new milled rumble strips in the middle of the lane. These rumble strips are a way to attract drivers attention if they are about to unintentionally leave the lane. The milled rumble strips cause both internal and external noise and vibration internally in the vehicle. The Swedish Road Administratio

This report covers how the status of roads in the service region of Linderödsåsen, can and has been mapped. An analysis of the maintenance strategy of Trafikverket, (The Swedish Transport Administration) has been made to reflect how the road network on a local level has been affected. This has been made to find areas of improvement. The content of this report is based on a compilation of interview

In a world of multiple devices, ranging from personal computers to mobile phones, from network attached lighting to smart refrigerators, every category of devices has its typical hardware and capabilities. These capabilities are what characterize the device, but it also sets limitations on what it can do. With the assumption that the majority of all devices have some form of network connectivity,

The role of the CIO has undergone a complex transformation over the past three decades, evolving from a function which purely consisted of technical support and administration towards a high-level position of senior executive responsibility and business management. A considerable body of research exists on the role of the CIO as well as desired leadership capabilities and the CIO relationship with

This thesis is essentially a project in theory- and method-building. It engages the strengths of Vaughan-Williams’ alternative border imaginary under the name of the generalised biopolitical border (GBB) in accounting for the complexity of border phenomena in contemporary global politics. However, it identifies two major shortcomings related to Vaughan-Williams’ application of the GBB to various e

In this thesis I discuss the nature of EU competition law as a public policy (ordre public) and how that translates into international commercial arbitration and try to figure out, since EU competition rules are considered public policy within the EU, how far the public policy extends and what the repercussions are, if any, of the misapplication of those competition rules are. In chapter two I des

I Sverige drabbas mellan 30000–35000 personer av stroke varje år, av dessa är det kring en tredjedel som får en bestående skada. Att bli drabbad av stroke kan medföra en stillasittande livsstil. Stillasittande i sin tur kan orsaka en förhöjd risk för fall, återkommande stroke och andra kardiovaskulära sjukdomar. Interventioner ledda av sjuksköterskor blir därför av vikt inom strokevården för att s

In the grocery store there are constantly occasions when choices are to be made. Sometimes it is hard to make the best choices. Therefore, consumers sometimes need tools to facilitate choosing the best groceries for their welfare. A mobile self-scanner can be such a tool. This article will study if a mobile self-scanner changes consumer behavior. To see if it works as self-control device, consumer

Business agility is emerging as an essential organizational characteristic due to the changing macro environment. The accelerated change has resulted in a substantial deployment of IT. However, the preconceived idea of ISD may be flawed. The final product of ISD is rarely aligned with the business needs. The historical review emphasizes a prominent attempt of increasing the level of business user

Bakgrund: När kvinnor är med om missfall upplever majoriteten av dem en krisreaktion, där depression, ångest och självförkastelse är vanligt förekommande. Kvinnor kan uppleva ett ansvar att ha förmågan att föda fram ett helt och friskt barn. Detta trots att mellan 15 och 20% av alla graviditeter som slutar i missfall. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelser vid missfall i mötet med vården. Metod:

This paper shows the Python implementation of a new way of constructing a variable multistep ODE solver which is not based on extending fixed step-size methods but rather on defining interpolation and collocation conditions for each new point. The implementation allows for any explicit 2-step method of order 2.

Uppsatsen ämnar kartlägga en organisations arbete med dess informationssäkerhetspolicy. Detta gjordes genom en fallstudie där en stor svensk myndighet undersöktes i fråga om dess arbete med utformning, utbildning och upprätthållande av sagd policy. I syfte att redogöra för forskningsfältets syn på dessa områden görs en genomgång av litteratur på området igenom. Den empiriska undersökningen består

Salsadans är ett komplext fenomen påverkat av en mängd olika faktorer. Dansen har existerat i mer än femtio år men tilltalar fortfarande olika typer av människor, blandade åldrar, yrken, religioner, samhällsklasser, etniciteter och stilar.

Mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been applied in numerous fields from behavioral medicine, nursing and psychiatry, to psychology and social work. Research on mindfulness and MBIs is increasingly providing evidence of the efficacy and benefits of MBIs for the treatment of a vast array of conditions. Yet, the application of mindfulness in the field of social work is still

Mycket av den litteratur som finns inom området molnbaserade affärssystem beskriver de fördelar samt nackdelar små och medelstora företag får av att använda denna modell jämfört med ett lokalt. Bland annat säger leverantörerna att det finns stora pengar att spara på molnbaserade system medan kritikerna nämner exempelvis säkerhet som en nackdel. Med vår studie ville vi undersöka om de fördelar och

I dagens samhälle är webben en självklarhet. Allt ska vara möjligt via webben. Detta leder till att användarna ställer högre krav på utvecklarna och hemsidorna varje dag. Att en webbplats har dålig struktur eller har en sämre funktionalitet kan vara en faktor till att användaren fortsätter vidare till nästa hemsida.
