Balans och psykologisk tilltro till fotledsfunktion vid idrottsutövande hos kvinnliga handbollsspelare efter en fotledsstukning Bakgrund: Handboll är en intensiv idrott och kännetecknas av ett stort antal högintensiva moment såsom hopp, tempoväxlingar, riktningsförändringar, dueller och kontaktsituationer. Handboll var en av de mest skadedrabbade sporterna under OS i London 2012 och under VM i Q

Attachment avoidance is associated with deactivation of the attachment system in times of distress, and disengaging from the distressing information as an emotion regulation strategy to restore felt security. The current study investigated how experimentally induced attachment security priming would affect avoidant strategies on attentional level. In a randomized within- between-subjects design, a

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka fördelar nätverk som en organiseringsform ger upphov till samt hur denna organiseringsform påverkar företags transaktionskostnader. Detta då det för tillfället råder en kunskapsteoretisk lucka angående hur företag som inte har tydligt definierade vertikala gränser ska definieras inom ramverket för transaktionskostnadsteorin. Metod: Studien är av kv

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur ett varumärke kan gå från att uppfattas som rent till att bli smutsigt. Med utgångspunkt i teorier kring rent och smutsigt, brand communities och subkulturer vill vi bidra till en ökad förståelse för vad som kan påverka ett varumärke negativt. Metod: Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där den empiriska datainsamlingen har gjorts främ

This thesis assesses the impact of innovation on employment, using a selection of International Patent Classifications (IPC) as proxies for technological development. It uses a 15-country, 8-sector and 15-year dynamic panel dataset, specifying a system Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) econometric model to test this relationship. It specifically evaluates whether advances in robotics – measured

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the extant knowledge and further research regarding the effects of Big Data Analytics (BDA) and blockchain (BC) technology on the future of the audit profession and to provide a framework grounded in existing theoretical research which would explore ways in which BDA and BC technology could be integrated into the audit procedures of th

Organisationer behöver ofta genomgå förändringar för att överleva. Förändringar är dock ingen enkel historia. De kan ofta misslyckas, och ofta attribueras detta till motstånd mot organisatoriska förändringar. Då organisationer består av individer utgör dessa en nyckelfaktor. Deras attityder gentemot förändringarna är avgörande då de ska omsätta förändringarna i praktiken. Dessa attityder antogs haOrganizational change is a common occurrence and frequently viewed as a necessity to survive. Unfortunately, attempts to change may often end up in failure, something commonly attributed to resistance to organizational change, a key factor being the individuals that constitute the body of the organization. Since they are both agents and recipients of change, their attitudes toward the change could

Idag finns cirka 90 000 kommersiella fartyg med en kombinerad lastkapacitet på 1.8 miljader ton. Den enorma lastkapacitet beror på att 90\% av all internationell handel inkluderar transport med skepp. I princip alla fartyg använder sig av weather routing.Today it is an accepted truth that consultation and evaluation of weather models by meteorologists can help a ship navigate the sea efficiently, using the weather and sea currents in the ship's favor. However, there exists little to no studies to support such a claim. In this report, we will first validate a simulation model by statistical means. This simulation is then used on different route

Identifying and keeping track of different structural representations of functionally overlapping issues is important in order to keep a well maintained issue management corpus, establishing efficient and organized response ability to develop and code software patches repairing these issues and defects. This is normally achieved by manual, time-costly reviewing-processes by special teams put up to

Grafikprestandan spelar en allt större roll i dagens smartphones då den ofta bestämmer hur responsiv upplevelsen är av krävande applikationer. Detta arbete har utforskat kodgenereringstekniker för en modern grafikprocessor i syfte att förbättra prestandan.Processors grow more and more complex, even more so in the field of GPUs, where the instruction set, in general, is not publicly available. This enables them to change more rapidly than CPUs, since backwards compatibility is not an issue. In this thesis multiple approaches are investigated for code generation for a clause-based GPU. An optional pre-scheduler is implemented, together with two appro

Libraries of things, non-for-profit physical spaces where people borrow objects they would otherwise buy, have spread over Europe, the U.S., and Canada and have now emerged in Mexico City, where challenges to sustainability such as increased consumption levels and insufficient waste management abound. Collaborative economy initiatives like libraries of things are exposed as more sustainable altern

Society is facing diverse vital societal challenges, which has led to an increased focus on how policy makers should target these challenges. Innovation policies have gone through a development from firm based R&D towards a more systematic and transformative approach towards innovation. This research has investigated how policy instrument in the form of innovation programs have been experience

The core focus of the thesis is the phenomenon of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet as a grave violation of human rights. The thesis is aimed to argument the criminal nature of the act of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet, provide a brief analysis of its causes and effects, examine a legislative gap in protection of children's rights, and eventually seek t

År 1925 patenterade den österrike-ungerska fysikern, Julius Edgar Lilenfeld, den första fälteffektstransistorn. Han beskrev i detalj komponentens design, funktioner och användningsområden. Eftersom den dåvarande teknologin var otillräcklig, blev någon tillverkning dock aldrig av. MOSFET:en uppfannas först år 1959, utav Dawon Kahnng och Martin Atalla från Bells Labs. Den typiskt kiselbaserade kompoIn this thesis were vertical NWFETs (nanowire field-effect transistors) fabricated, and their electrical properties characterised. The main goal was to minimize the parasitic capacitances that limited the high frequency performance. The nanowires consisted of InAs/InGaAs heterojunctions, and were grown on top of Si via a buffer layer. The gate contained a finger pattern that was defined via EBL (e

In 2007, Mexico City legalized abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. By doing so, it became the first and only state in Mexico where abortion on demand is legal. In this paper, I use this natural experiment to estimate the effects of abortion legalization on child and maternal health. I perform Difference-In-Differences estimates using information from all births and deaths occurred between

Staters interventionism har legat bakom många grova människorättskränkningar. Eftersom FN-systemets vetorätt skyddar vissa stater från straffrättsligt ansvar finns det få reella utsikter för en minskning av dessa människorättsbrott. Inom det institutionella systemet är den Internationella Brottmålsdomstolen ICC och det möjliga aktiverandet av dess jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet – som nu befi
