Attributional styles have been paid little attention in the organizational context and previous research has mostly focused on the consequences of attributional styles, such as how attributional styles influence work behaviors. Attributional styles development in work settings has thereby been paid little attention, as for example, how individuals’ way of attributing in an organization can be shap
Most migratory bird species divide their migration in stages of flight and stopovers. They use these stopovers to refuel the energy reserves needed to face their long migration journeys. These stopovers are an important element to determine the overall migration speed. Time spent on migration and arrival date to the wintering grounds have been demonstrated to have a large effects the following bre
Nowadays society is becoming more aware of the fact that energy use has a negative environmental impact, contributing to fossil fuels depletion and global warming increase. Therefore, the Swedish Parliament has adopted the The European Comission’s 20-20-20 goals, climate and energy policy targets that shall be achieved by 2020, referring to 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, 20% increase in energy ef
Bakgrund: Att konsumera resor har blivit ett allt vanligare sätt för individer att skapa och förmedla sin identitet. Hur och var individer reser påverkar inte bara hur de ser på sig själva, utan det skapar även en uppfattning av hur omgivningen uppfattar dem. Resultatet har blivit att individer inte väljer resmål utifrån sina önskemål, utan utifrån vilken bild de vill förmedla av sig själva. Efter
The field of disease proteomics is lacking techniques capable of analysing complex samples with high sensitivity and selectivity. A new MIcroArrays in Solution (MIAS) technology is being developed to addres the technological issues of the current established methods, such as antibody microarrays, 2DE and MS used for protein expression profiling. MIAS technology is based on DNA barcode labeled scFv
Many surveillance applications could benefit from the use of stereo cam- eras for depth perception. While state-of-the-art methods provide high quality scene depth information, many of the methods are very time consuming and not suitable for real-time usage in limited embedded systems. This study was conducted to examine stereo correlation methods to find a suitable algorithm for real-time or near
Nanocarriers and nanoreactors are often derived from viral capsids. The capsid of HBV is a particularly attractive self-assembling model, fit for conversion into protein carrier. In this thesis modified HBV capsid is expressed in E.coli and purified by size exclusion chromatography. Nanocarrier system is based on principle of specific binding between the modified capsid building block and protein
Conventional photovoltaic solar tracking is commonly done by aligning the surface normal of a PV module with the direction from which direct solar irradiation is coming from. While this tracking design has proven to perform well in sunny climates, solar tracking is altogether less common in northern climates where the direct solar irradiance is weaker. In this study a radiative transfer model is u
Uppsatsen tar avstamp i SOM-insitutets mätning från 2014 som visade att en majoritet av de tillfrågade ansåg att svenska medier inte berättar sanningen om samhällsproblem kopplade till frågor som rör migration- och flyktingpolitik. Samtidigt som med misstroendet mot medierna breder ut sig fortsätter digitaliseringen av medielandskapet vilket leder till en allt mer diversifierad nyhetskonsumtion. DThe essay builds on a public opinion poll from 2014 indicating that a majority of the Swedish citizens believe that mainstream media are hiding “the truth” about social problems related to issues of migration and refugee policy. The outspread distrust of mainstream media takes place during a time of continuing digitalization of the media landscape, which has led to increasingly diversified news co
Påverkar höjd människors benägenhet att utrymma via sky bridges? Försök i virtuell och fysisk miljö En sky bridge är en allt vanligare lösning för att underlätta förflyttning mellan höga byggnader. Sky bridges kan också användas för att förbättra utrymningssituationen i höga byggnader. För att undersöka hur personer uppfattar utrymning från höga byggnader via sky bridges kan verktyget Virtual ReThis report is a master thesis at Lund University. The aim of this report is to examine how height effects peoples willingness to evacuate from a building using a sky bridge. The study also aims to investigate if Virtual Reality and more specifically Oculus Rift is a useful tool in research regarding evacuation at high elevation. This was investigated by conducting experiments in Virtual Reality.
Rapporten beskriver utvecklingsarbetet av funktionen att manövrera en ramp som satt placerad på ett stridsfordon. Rampen satt monterad på den bakre gaveln på stridsfordonet CV90 som tillverkades av BAE Systems Hägglunds i Örnsköldsvik. Där har examensarbetet genomförts under våren 2015. I den bakre delen utav stridsfordonet så fanns det ett utrymme för att transportera åtta soldater. De tog sig i
Plattektoniska processer formar idag vår jord genom vulkanism, relaterad till divergenta och konvergenta plattrörelser. Hur länge har plattektoniken existerat och hur kan vi spåra plattektoniska processer bakåt i tiden? Detta kandidatarbete behandlar och diskuterar olika typer av plattektoniska indikatorer, hur de går att koppla till moderna processer och hur tillförlitliga de anses vara. Moderna Plate tectonic processes shapes our earth due to volcanism, related to divergent and convergent plate motions. When did plate tectonics begin and how can we trace plate tectonic processes throughout time? This Bachelor thesis address and discuss different plate tectonic indicators and their reliability. Modern analogues are indicators that can be linked to modern plate tectonic processes, and does
No country has yet achieved full gender equality and one of the reasons is the stereotypical attitudes towards characteristics and roles of men and women. International community has acknowledged that gender stereotypes are an obstacle to full realisation of human rights of women and men and the obligation to tackle those has been included in the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimin
This study contributes to fill the gap in the existing community health worker literature by offering a more nuanced perspective on performance motivation of healthcare workers from rural South Africa. Specifically, it focuses on the various work incentives and perceived organization support that shape work performance of healthcare workers and, therefore, organizational effectiveness. By followin
Cooperative and reciprocal practices within agriculture have been widely discussed as important strategies in order to reduce risks and costs of labour and capital acquisition. Within the Andes reciprocal norms appear to be particularly institutionalized due to their historical rootedness in Andean culture. With the present case study I sought to examine reciprocal exchange practices in agricultur
Biotechnology has been regarded as the problem child of modern Patent Law for a long time. The legislation concerning biotechnology is in constant fluctuation, changing as the case law constantly develops. This leads up to uncertainty regarding what is to be considered as patentable, and what is not. Even today, no stable solution has been found. Furthermore, ethical concerns are given a place w
This thesis included an energy and moisture analysis of an existing 70’s villa. This villa is located in Bjärred, Lomma municipality. The Reference house is a single storey with a foundation of concrete slab and is part of a community association of 20 similar villas’. The work included different types of analyzes and measurements of the villa. A literature study was done to get a better view of t
