The research explores the themes of cultural adaptation, characterization, and sense of place in both seri

Efter folkomröstningen om Brexit den 23 juni 2016 kommer Storbritannien förmodligen att lämna EU. En viktig fråga är vad som kommer hända med Storbritanniens kontroll över företagskoncentrationer. Frågan är speciellt intressant med tanke på EU-rätt och den brittiska lämna-EU kampanjen, utifrån att företagskoncentrationer ofta har en internationell dimension och affekterar konkurrensrätt på en natiAfter the Brexit referendum on the 23rd of June 2016 it is evident that the UK might be leaving the EU. In light of EU law, and the leave-campaign, the question of what will happen to UK merger control post-Brexit is especially riveting due to the internationality of merger control and the high impact of EU-control on competition law. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to examine what would be th

This study explored the effect of cognitive workload on shooting performance and quiet eye duration (QED) using a Stroop based handgun-shooting task (Stroop shooting). Furthermore, the difference between the reverse Stroop effect and the traditional Stroop effect when shooting based on the Attentional Control Theory was assessed. The methods used were partially based on previously published resear

With the shift from collective to individual, people started to increasingly reflect on their position in the society and potential for individual growth. Previously inaccessible services and initiatives promoting self-development emerged. However, women were found to have rather limited access to those opportunities, due to boundaries of social and cultural nature. In tourism and risk studies, th

Bakgrund: Fallerande kommunikation inom ett operationsteam ökar risken för morbiditet och mortalitet vid kirurgi. WHO har utarbetat Surgical Safety Checklist vilken har associerats med ökad patientsäkerhet och förebyggande av vårdskador. Dock finns det påvisade skillnader i hur checklistan används och följs mellan sjukhus. Syfte: Att jämföra operationssjuksköterskans uppfattning avseende delaktigh

I takt med den globala urbaniseringen växer städerna. I storstäderna finns en stor brist på obebyggd mark vilket leder till att städerna förtätas, något som medför nya risker när en större mängd människor befinner sig på en mindre yta. Att inkludera riskhantering i stadsbyggnadsprocessen är därför en av flera viktiga delar i utvecklingen av städerna. Processen för stadsbyggnad kan ses som en proceThe global urbanisation is causing cities to grow. A shortage of unused land in the metropolises, cause a concentration of the cities, presenting new risks as a bigger population occupy a small area. For this reason, including risk management in the urban planning process is one of many important factors in the development of cities. In order to ease the process of risk management and improve tra

The new-economy encompasses a variety of industries, particularly pharmaceuticals and online-based companies. These may hold strong market positions, or be strong future competitors, despite having low turnover. Where foreclosure techniques to curtail competition are employed, the concentration may result in a long-lasting anti-competitive impact on the market. However, due to low or insufficient

Many driving schools request cheap, safe alternatives to driving lessons. Some VR (Virtual Reality) car simulators already exist today, but they are either too expensive or not adapted to the Swedish trac system. The purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate whether a virtual environment can be realistic enough for a driving school student to actually benet from using it. To answer the

Based on self-perceived stories described in literature and documentary films, this study aims at analyzing how individuals, from an attachment theory perspective, feel that have been affected by growing up in a family in which one or both parents have an intellectual disability.
