Cultural norms that promote gender inequality have shown to encourage power imbalances in heterosexual relationships, increasing both young men and young women’s risk of STDs, HIV, unplanned pregnancy and intimate partner violence (WHO, 2004). Understanding how exactly these cultural norms impact youth’s gendered sexual roles and overall sexual health has been increasingly highlighted as an import

Nuclear Compton scattering — the elastic scattering of photons — from 12C has been studied at the Tagged-Photon Facility at MAX IV in Lund, Sweden. The differential cross section for the reaction was determined at laboratory angles of 60° and 120° in the energy range 65-95 MeV. The cross section for nuclear Compton scattering is related to the electric and magnetic polarisabilities of the proton a

Quantum dots are interesting candidates for a broad variety of electronic components, with single electron transistors and LEDs being two examples already well on their way. In nanostructures, such as quantum dots, quantum effects greatly influence the transport. In a spin polarized quantum dot system with two energy levels, interference effects have been found to cause a strong suppression of con

När kvinnor ägnar sig åt matematik löper de risken att utsättas för stereotyphot och bli bedömda efter den negativa stereotypen som existerar kring kvinnor och matematisk förmåga (Spencer & Steele, 1999). Den aktuella studien undersöker ifall information om stereotyphot påverkar lärarstudenters attityder kring könsstereotyper och matematik. En enkätundersökning med tre olika betingelser deladeWhen women engage in mathematics they are at risk of stereotype threat and can be judged by the negative stereotype that exists about women and mathematical ability (Spencer & Steele, 1999). The current study investigates if information about stereotype threat affects student teachers’ attitudes about gender stereotypes and math. A questionnaire with three different conditions were distributed

Ellstorp housing cooperative has long had problems with household waste not being properly recycled and bulky refuse not being left in designated areas, leading to overfilled bins and chaotic recycling rooms. In this study, an investigation was carried out among the residents in Ellstorp, using a survey handed out to all residents and group interviews with volunteering residents and the board of t

Undersökningen studerar sambandet mellan employee engagement och empowerment, samt hur styrkan i detta samband kan bero på ålder. Studien innefattar en internetbaserad surveyundersökning där urvalet begränsas till tjänstemän inom den offentliga sektorn. Enkäten innehåller frågor rörande individens upplevda arbetssituation. Analysen visar en positiv korrelation mellan de två variablerna, r = .705, The research examines the relation between employee engagement and empowerment, and how the strength of this relationship is affected by age. The research includes an internet-based survey to a sample of civil servants in the public sector. The survey consists of questions related to the individual's perceived work-situation. The analysis shows a positive correlation between the two variables,

This essay analyzes blogs written by volunteer tourists through a qualitative content analysis. The aim of this essay has been to investigate volunteer tourists descriptions of their experiences from a postcolonial perspective. The study has found that volunteer tourists in their blogs reproduces colonial stereotypes about the Other. The Other is being described in both positive and negative stere

Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykoterapeuters socialiseringsprocesser, såsom dessa processer upplevdes av psykoterapeuterna 1,5 år efter avslutad utbildning. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem psykoterapeuter. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket gav fyra huvudteman: Önskan att förbättra sin nuvarande praktik, Att möta psykoteThe aim of the study was to investigate the socialization processes of psychotherapists, as those processes were experienced by the psychotherapists themselves 1,5 years after finishing their training. The material was gathered using semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which generated four main themes: The wish to improve one's curr

Smallholder farmers face a number of challenges in spite of the crucial role they play in ensuring food security. An appreciation of the far-reaching consequences these challenges have on food security will inform the formulation of policies aimed at addressing the problem of food insecurity. In Ghana, research on food (in) security issues has mostly focused on the Northern part of the country par

I uppsatsen gör jag en stilistisk analys av Jon Fosses roman Det er Ales samt en analys av tidsgestaltningen i romanen. Arbetets huvudfält är litterär stilistik där form och innehåll ses som två samspelande komponenter inom ett skönlitterärt verk. Huvudsyftet är att belysa hur form och innehåll samverkar i gestaltningen av tid i Det er Ales och vad denna gestaltning får för konsekvenser för förstå

Abstract Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor was fabricated on the InGaAs substrate with Al2O3/HfO2 gate oxide. InGaAs is one of the promising candidates for advanced applications which require the lower power supply and high frequency. The high-k films (Al2O3/HfO2) were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an alternative to silicon dioxide (SiO2) to proceed the scaling of oxide to low

In this thesis an algorithm for simulating the equilibrium behavior of a large number of protein sequences at fixed temperature in a single run is investigated. The method, which works by allowing Monte Carlo updates of the protein sequence, is implemented and tested for a simple reduced-representation continuous protein model with three different types of amino acids. The effectiveness of the m

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors on underpricing in the UK and Germany. The focus hereby lies on the different institutional framework (common and civil law) and implied ownership structure of both countries. A quantitative analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression model and descriptive statistics. The dependent variable underpricing is regressed on

This study examines whether the right to respect for private and family life, as enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, is equally enjoyed by transgender people. The focus of the research is on the European Court of Human Rights’ case law on gender identity, and special emphasis is placed on the principles of equality and non-discrimination. For the analysis, the Europ

In this study I explore the field of internal business partnering (IBP) and how IT is utilized in supporting these efforts and in supporting an increased awareness. I furthermore explore what the current limitations of today's technology are, and finally, in addition, study a specific collaborative tool, namely a word processing template, and how this should be developed to maximize communicat

This paper discusses the environmental impacts caused by the school activities at Åbyskolan, an upper secondary school located in the municipality of Klippan in southern Sweden. It also focuses on which measures that can be applied to reduce the environmental impacts and give economical savings. Finally environmental certifications, ISO 14001 and Grön Flagg, have been studied and compared consider

Kinas emigration idag utgörs framför allt av förmögna kineser som investeringsemigrerar. Detta är ett emigrationsfenomen som är väldigt annorlunda i förhållande till de kineserna som emigrerade som arbetskraft förr. Den här uppsatsen studerar hur den kinesiska emigrationen utvecklades från arbetskraftsemigration, som påbörjades under mitten av 1800-talet, fram tills dagens investeringsemigration.

When constructing roads, it often happens that the contractor have trouble following the documentation intended for the project. When the contractor is unable to follow the documents and instead need new instructions, there is always changed, added or outgoing work. Sometimes this could mean that it is impossible to stay within the road area, for example, to accommodate the slopes, or more land ne
