Handheld XRF-technique has been used to measure the occurrence of potentially toxic trace elements in outcrops of alum shale, heaps of burnt alum shale, and birch trees at Andrarum, southeastern Scania, Sweden. Results showed that both types of shale contain substantial amounts of problematic trace elements, such as As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni and V. Most of these showed higher concentrations in bu
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det finns något samband mellan lean och medarbetarskap. Studien genomfördes på tre avdelningar på Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund. För att kunna studera, samla in data och mäta, hur långt en verksamhet har kommit i sin lean-implementering, utvecklades och testades Lean Evaluation Questionnarie. Lean har delats upp i två faktorer, lean instrument och l
Information handling in a highly innovative, rapidly growing and information sensitive industry like mobile industry is a complex problem. Although much of the research has been done in the area of risk management, however information leakage aspect is left unexplored. This study can be seen as a contribution to this area. I studied the concept of information leakage in the context of awareness, i
Every single State has its own rules: legal persons are created based on the domestic laws and States tax them according to their own tax laws. Thus, differences and imperfect legal relationships are inevitable at the international level. The existence of legal entities formed under diverse domestic laws which are not similar to each other leads to disparities and thus, to difficulties to have a c
Can we change an established language? Religious language, as presented in Christianity, has been challenged by several feminists to be androcentric. This is owing to its patriarchal language in which God has been exemplified in such masculine terms as lord and father. In this paper I intend to investigate Julia Kristeva’s linguistic theory of how a language can change and transform itself from wi
This thesis investigates the possibility of modelling the covered bond risk, quantied by the yield spread over government bond, by using a multi factor model with explanatory factors. The thesis focuses on covered bond issued in Sweden, in Swedish krona, by Swedish issuers. The most signicant result is that there is a relationship between issuer risk, quantied by the CDS spread, and the covered bo
Studiens syfte är att undersöka erfarna terapeuters upplevelser av psykoterapi när svåra livsupplevelser bearbetas. Fyra kbt- och fyra pdt-terapeuter har valts ut för intervjuer. Våra frågeställningar har varit: Vilken syn har erfarna terapeuter på trauma och dess orsaker? Vilka bedömningar och avgränsningar gör terapeuterna vid behandling och diagnosticering? Vilka är erfarna terapeuters upplevel
The economic performance in Sub-Saharan Africa has been unimpressive, particularly in comparison with other developing regions like East Asia. Using a panel data for 30 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 1970-2010, this study investigates the extent to which the health of the population affects the economic performance in the region. Employing the theoretical model based on an augmented
In this master thesis the correlation between heart rate variability and respiration is analysed in order to examine the possibility of finding differences between individuals under different levels of work related stress. A total number of 24 individuals, divided into groups under low stress, high stress and those formerly exhausted, had their heart rates and respirations recorded. Cross-spectral
Syftet med denna uppsats är att via en materialstudie få en förståelse för råmaterialets förändrade roll i samhället under övergångsperioden, senneolitikum 2300-1700 f.Kr. och bronsåldern period jag 1700-1500 f Kr. De teoretiska perspektiven inkluderar Giddens struktureringsteori teori och Annales-skolan. Materialet begränsas till delar av Malmöområdet eftersom det utgör ett område som varit föremThe purpose of this thesis was to study a material to gain an understanding of the changing role of raw materials in society during the transition period, Late Neolithic 2300-1700 BC and Bronze Age period I in 1700-1500 BC. Theoretical perspectives include Giddens structuration theory and the Annales-school. The material was limited to parts of the Malmö area because it is an area subject to numer
Different types of data streams, time series, are generated in systems and collected in information bases all over the world. One may have data streams of temperatures, air pollution, share prices, traffic demand for networks or strength of the emitted radiation from a power plant. There are different statistical tools to analyse these data streams. An interesting tool to evaluate a data stream is
Optical fibers induces phase noise when used to transmit a laser beam due to its small variations in optical length caused by temperature- or pressure changes, or vibrations. This induced phase noise, called fiber noise, is often neglectable, but when used to transmit laser beams with extremely narrow linewidth this fiber noise is of great importance. This thesis work present a way to cancel the f
Since the mid-nineties the migratory flows towards Spain have reached an unprecedented level in a country typically accustomed to emigration. Using data from the National Immigrant Survey (ENI) for the year 2007, the objective of this work is to study the main characteristics of Eastern Europeans, Latin Americans and Africans and their situation in terms of earnings assimilation with respect to th
Title: IFRS 3 – a continuous problem. A study of the standard's development Seminar date: June 1 2012 Course: FEKH95, Degree Project Undergraduate level, Business Administration, Undergraduate level, 15 University Credits Points (UPC) or ECTS-cr Authors: Henric Hammarbro, Anders Jeppsson, Gustav Rybrink Advisor: Erling Green Key words: IFRS 3, goodwill, business combinations, subjectivity, mat
I denna uppsats har jag undersökt hur matkassetjänsten ”Linas matkasse” bidrar i skapandet av föreställningar och praktiker kring familjen. Matkassen som fenomen är nytt och har funnits sedan 2007 på den svenska matmarknaden. Genom att studera vardagsstrukturer och middagens betydelse i barnfamiljer har jag nått en större insikt i vilken roll matkassen har för familjen. För att samla material krin
This study deals with how information technologies are used in tourist’s decision making process. The thesis focuses on a forgotten new tourist segment: Couch Surfers. By using semi-structured interview and netnography to analyze websites’ content, Couch Surfers’ decision making process is studied. The main findings of the study are Couch Surfers rely heavily on information technologies especially
This thesis describes the development of a discrete event building evacuation simulator using the Java programming language and the various results that were produced from the simulations that were done. The simulator allows people to evacuate a building which has been defined via a graphical interface. People are then split into two groups, those who use elevators and those who do not. The progra
Resurs Bank vill förbättra sitt multiarkiv(digitalt arkiv för juridiska dokument). I problemet ingår att sätta sig in i det nuvarande systemet och förstå sig på vilka integrationssvårigheter som finns. Med hjälp av dessa kunskaper ska vi sedan välja ut och utreda 2 möjliga system som ska kunna ersätta det befintliga.
