Today's society is in constant change and development where globalisation and technology have affected the labour market. As a result, the labour market is different and the employees set higher demands with new requirements for the employer to satisfy. It has thus become increasingly important for organisations to develop strategies to attract, develop and retain employees. The purpose of th
River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys
Effective conservation strategies require an understanding of how species respond to environmental change. This study was undertaken to evaluate the behavioural response of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis) to changing habitat conditions, in terms of activity budget, habitat use, and range. Using data collected in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve between 2014-2019 on activity budgets, t
I augusti 2020 släpper de kvinnliga hiphopartisterna Cardi B och Megan Thee Stallion låten WAP (Wet Ass Pussy). Låtsläppet blir internationellt uppmärk- sammat och låten blir debatterad utifrån det sexuellt explicita språk som används. Forskning som genomförts inom fältet för hiphopfeminism har visat att hiphop varit ett användbart verktyg för diskriminerande och förtryckta grupper att uttrycka si
Purpose: To evaluate whether ETFs have outperformed index mutual funds on the European market during the period 2009-2019. Methodology: The method is based on quantitative data acquired from Thomson Reuters Eikon as well as Bloomberg terminal. Historical returns are processed and analyzed using selected performance measures. Theoretical perspectives: Theories are applied to compare the returns o
The drought is a complex meteorological phenomenon associated with low precipitation and low water saturation in atmosphere, soils and plants and can has a great effect on aboveground biomass and change the structure and function of the ecosystems. The droughts also are known to reduce the primary and secondary productivity of vegetation. The Climate has high influence on vegetation productivity.
This thesis is an exploration of the complexity of gendered spaces and places. Grounding in feminist geographical theory and an understanding of space and place as gendered, the experiences and emotions of six young women from Rosengård, Malmö, connected to space and place are problematized and contextualised. The thesis is also a call for a qualitative, critical and feminist usage of GIS and an e
This master thesis investigates how personal narrative and emotion might be understood as a feminist strategy in the work True Stories, an autobiographical project by contemporary French artist Sophie Calle. This is done through the application of Judith Butler's theory on heteronormativity, performativity and subversive acts, as well as Sara Ahmed's thought on emotion. The result shows ho
The aim of this thesis was to explore the effect of domestic violence against women Health’s and Agricultural Activities in Otukpo Benue State, Nigeria. The sampling techniques adopted for this study is both cluster and purposive sampling in selecting respondents to participate in the study. The study area is divided into four cluster representing the four major districts of the study area. These
In order to improve the technique of transoesophageal atrial stimulation (TAS), the effects of body position, interelectrode spacing and electrode surface area on pacing threshold were assessed in two substudies. The effects of intra-oesophageal local anaesthesia and of two different pacing wave configurations on pacing threshold and discomfort were also assessed. Substudy I comprised 16 subjects
We report on a theoretical study of the electron transport through laterally-confined, vertical double-barrier resonant-tunneling (DBRT) structures, defined as one-dimensional (1D)-0D-1D systems, with a tunable lateral confinement. The current and the differential conductance of the systems are calculated and the influence caused by varying the lateral confinement on the device characteristics is
The European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffroy) (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), is a widespread and economically important forest insect. The sex pheromone communication system of this species has been previously investigated in North America, Japan and Europe, with the acetate or propionate of the alcohol (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) shown to be the main pheromone compo
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are reported as activated in excess in the morbidly obese state and, therefore, changes after weight loss can be anticipated. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a massive (similar to30%) weight reduction on the activation of the HPA axis and the ANS following bariatric surgery. Eight (7 women, 1 ma
We present a detailed analysis of time-resolved optical spectra of the ZZ Ceti white dwarf, HS 0507+0434B. Using the wavelength dependence of observed mode amplitudes, we deduce the spherical degree, , of the modes, most of which have . The presence of a large number of combination frequencies (linear sums or differences of the real modes) enabled us not only to test theoretical predictions but al
The decay of Bacillus subtilis aprE leader-lacZ mRNA was examined in Escherichia coli wild-type and in mutants deficient in RNase E, RNase G, or both. Two versions of the mRNA were studied: the wild-type mRNA, which has a stem-loop at the 5' end, and a mutant mRNA, with a single-stranded 5' end. The half-life of both transcripts was determined by RNase E, the half-life of the mutant transcript bei
The paper examines the nonlinear behaviour of one- and two-degree-of-freedom discrete mechanical models subjected to partial follower load under conditions at which divergence instability occurs. Section (1.6) of the paper deals with the dynamic instability of an elastoplastic damped strut compressed by partial follower force at the free end. Space-time curves for the system are presented and disc
This paper studies different organophosphorus extractants for the selective recovery of metal ions such as Cu (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Ph (II), Fe (III), Cd (II) from effluents resulting from the metal finishing at the time of industry process. In a first step, a commercial extractant such as di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) was used as carrier for SLM extraction. Combining D2EHPA and TOPO
