Over the last three decades, Southeast and East Asian countries have experienced a substantial fertility decline. The socio-economic and demographic determinants appear to be important in explaining the fertility transition experienced in the region. Applying a fixed-effects estimation technique on the 1990-2019 panel data, this study found that increased women’s empowerment (include female educat

This thesis investigates a possible influence of language on thought in the domain of motion event descriptions using a cognitive-semiotic framework. Previous studies (e.g., von Stutterheim et al., 2012) have claimed that speakers of languages who construe situations as temporally ongoing through morphological aspect tend to focus more on the action itself and less on other details such as possibl

Denna uppsats undersöker hur den svenska underrepresentation i EU kan motverkas genom tillsättningen av sekunderade nationella experter. Uppsatsen är en fallstudie som bygger på antagandet att en representativ byråkrati på EU-nivå är gynnsamt för Sveriges möjligheter att påverka den europeiska politiken. Genom tidigare genomförda intervjuer och undersökningar av myndigheternas arbete visar resulta

Tidigare forskning om traumabehandling har framför allt undersökt verksamma behandlingsmetoder kvantitativt. Den här studiens syfte var därför att kvalitativt undersöka vad psykologer upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling av personer med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Intervjuer genomfördes med tio legitimerade psykologer som har klinisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med traumabehandling. EnPrevious research on trauma treatments has focused mainly on effective treatment methods from a quantitative perspective. The purpose of this study was therefore to qualitatively explore what psychologists’ view as important in a successful trauma treatment with individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder. Interviews were conducted with ten licensed clinical psychologists, who all have clinical

Möjligheten till användande av digitala brevlådor har funnits i Sverige sedan år 2012. En e-tjänst vilken i jämförelse mot den fysiska posten innefattar fördelar såsom minskade koldioxidutsläpp, handläggningstider och kostnader samt potentiellt kan öka säkerheten inom posthantering. Trots dess påtalade fördelar finns begränsningar vad gäller adoptionen av digitala brevlådor, vilket är ett område m

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur svenska kommuner kan tänkas hantera stigande havsnivåer i dess översiktliga planering. Med hjälp av geografiska informationssystems-, litteratur-, och dokumentanalyser, som tillämpades på fallexemplen Trelleborgs och Kristianstads kommun i Skåne, kunde empiri genereras samt analyseras med hjälp av en egen framtagen modell. Denna modell, eller konceptuella ramvThis thesis aims to investigate how Swedish coastal municipalities can manage rising sea levels in their master planning. By simulating sea level rise in geographic information systems (GIS), and analyzing literature along with municipal planning documents, a conceptual framework was generated. Moreover, this framework consisted of three steps: (1) Climate scenario analysis, (2) Planning strategie

This thesis is based on a quantitative study that is conducted by comparing the fundraising effectiveness of humanitarian non-profit organisations (NPOs) to their program expenditure. The fundraising effectiveness of NPOs is derived from fundraising expenses over donations received. Using two hypotheses that were developed using literature revolving around capabilities, with a special focus on mar

Cosmetical prosthesis covers can serve as important psychological help for prosthetic users. Customised covers for articial limbs with aesthetical modi- cations helps to boost amputees' condence and gives them an opportunity to express their personalities.

Despite an increasing population, a large number of Sweden's municipalities see a negative population-and business development where municipalities in the periphery have an ever smaller population and a business that is deteriorating. The topic has been addressed in a number of previous studies where it is discussed whether municipalities can achieve growth or instead should adapt to the curre

In today’s digital climate, consumers are constantly exposed to marketing and communication from companies and organisations. The increase in marketing has subsequently led to the birth of new, and in some cases, misleading advertising strategies, such as Greenwashing and Healthwashing. Other marketing strategies such as Femvertising utilise societal movements in order to be effective. These marke

This paper examines the relationship between positive change in ESG scores and instantaneous stock price volatility as well as the direction of price change. For this purpose, a sample of 536 large- and medium cap companies within the EU market were selected and classified into three groups of excellent, good and poor-satisfactory performance based on their ESG scores. The change in the companies’

Host-virus interactions in archaea is a topic that still remains little explored. A recent study has revealed that the protein gp21 from SIRV2 (Sulfolobus islandicus rodshaped virus 2) induces cell gigantism and growth arrest in the archaeal host Sulfolobus islandicus LAL14/1 after being overexpressed. Remarkably, homologs of this protein have been found in a wide variety of viruses infecting arch

Litet protein med ett stort syfte En grundförutsättning för mänskligt liv är föda. Maten vi intar omvandlas till energi som möjliggör alla kroppsliga funktioner. Den största delen av maten vi äter är kolhydrater. Kolhydraterna bryts ner till glukos som sedan bryts ner till pyruvat, en viktig intermediär i energimetabolismen. Pyruvat är en molekyl som transporteras från våra cellers cytosol till Pyruvate is one of the main molecules needed for the citric acid cycle, which produces energy in the form of ATP. The citric acid cycle reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for pyruvate to participate in the reaction, it needs to be transported from the cytosol across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondrial matrix. A special membrane protein called the mitochondrial pyruvate

Bakgrund: Under 2020 ägde cirka 112 902 förlossningar rum i Sverige. Vården i samband med graviditet och förlossning är fragmenterad och inte organiserad för att skapa kontinuitet. Barnmorskeledd kontinuitetsvård innebär att en grupp barnmorskor vårdar kvinnor genom graviditet, förlossning och eftervård. Kontinuitetsmodellen caseload är internationellt vedertagen men finns i Sverige endast tillgänBackground: 112 902 women gave birth in Sweden during the year of 2020. Care during pregnancy and childbirth is fragmented and not organized to create continuity. The meaning of midwife led continuity of care is that a group of midwives care for a group of women through pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care. The continuity model of care, caseload, is internationally established but in Sweden the

Samverkan har använts som samarbetsform i svenska byggprojekt sedan mitten av 1990-talet. Samverkan har många fördelar såsom ökad transparens, större teamkänsla och högre kvalitet i projektet. Det har utförts många studier om samverkansprojekt men det finns inte så många studier som gjort kvantitativa mätningar om samverkansprojekt faktiskt är mer lönsamma och håller högre kvalitet. Om- och dubbPartnering has been used as a project form in the Swedish construction industry since the middle of the 1990’s. Partnering has many advantages such as increased transparency, a bigger sense of being a team and higher quality projects. There have been many studies done on partnering projects but there are not many not many of those studies that quantitively examines if partnering projects actually

Our research has conducted a comparative cross-case analysis to assess how firm-specific resources can enable the energy transition within firms located in the EU. The multiple-case study was based on data collected from two incumbent energy companies that were founded and headquartered in an EU country (E.ON and Vattenfall). We have chosen a privately owned company and a state-owned company to cr
