Sverige har sedan länge ansetts vara ett land befriat från svågerpolitik och korruption. Korruption är dock ett vitt begrepp som härstammar från det latinska ordet corrumpere, vilket betyder muta. Följaktligen omfattas den straffrättsliga terminologin av givande och tagande av muta av begreppet korruption. Korruption anses vara ett medel för att otillbörligen påverka besluts- och handlingsprocesseSweden has long been considered a country free from nepotism and corruption. Corruption is however a broad term which derives from the Latin word corrumpere, meaning bribe. Consequently the criminal terminology of giving and receiving bribes comprises the concept of corruption. Corruption is a way to improperly influence the decision making and processes in a society. The damaging effects on a soc

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att kvalitativt tydliggöra och förstå skillnader i konsumenters lojalitetsgrad och köpbeteende, kopplat till service, mellan Generation Y och Baby Boomers och på så sätt bidra till service- och generationsforskningen. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med ett hermeneutiskt fenomenologisk förhållningssätt har genomförts. Forskningsansatsen är deduktiv med induktiva inslag. PrPurpose: The aim is to qualitatively distinguish and understand differences in purchase behavior and loyalty, related to service, between Generation Y and Baby Boomers and thus contribute to the service and generational research. Methodology: A qualitative study has been executed with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The research approach is deductive while also containing inductive eleme

Avhandlingen ser till hur medvetna exklusiva temahotell är om den fysiska miljön, vi tittar på hotellens grundtanke samt vad de teoretiskt kommunicerar ut till gästen. Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till receptionsområdet och lobbyn där vi diskuterar materiella och immateriella delar av miljön som kan påverka gästens intryck av hotellet. Vi har valt att undersöka hotell i en kategori som vi kallar f

Scientific assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), inform policymakers and the public about the state of scientific evidence and related uncertainties. We studied how experts from different scientific disciplines who were authors of IPCC reports, interpret the uncertainty language recommended in the Guidance Note for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fifth Assess

Background: Patients in the forensic mental health services (FMHS) with a mental disorder, a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD), and high risk of aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB) are sometimes referred to as the ‘triply troubled’. They suffer poor treatment outcomes, high rates of criminal recidivism, and increased risk of drug related mortality. To improve treatment for this heterogene

Background: Despite reported tuberculosis (TB) treatment success rate of 86%, TB remains a leading cause of death in Ethiopia. We investigated patient and provider-specific factors associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes in Ethiopian health facilities providing TB care. Methods: Data on characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients registered for TB treatment at 15 public health facili

Animal pollination is an important input to the global food system, affecting 2/3 of crops and worth more than $100 billion annually. Mounting evidence of pollinators’ importance, and of their decline worldwide, has prompted efforts to conserve and restore wild bees within agricultural regions. To date, however, research on the value of wild pollinators has focused largely on crop productivity per

Background Preeclampsia is considered a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present case-control study in Sweden was to assess the hypothesized association between low serum vitamin D concentrations in early pregnancy and the risk of developing preeclampsia since vitamin D may play a role in early placental development. Methods The study included 296 women dia

With the shift toward de-escalating surgery in breast cancer, prediction models incorporating imaging can reassess the need for surgical axillary staging. This study employed advancements in deep learning to comprehensively evaluate routine mammograms for preoperative lymph node metastasis prediction. Mammograms and clinicopathological data from 1265 cN0 T1-T2 breast cancer patients (primary surge

Investigating metal-semiconductor interfaces is crucial for enabling ultra-thin film growth and tuning the electronic properties. Here we have studied the atomic mechanism of Bi incorporation into the surface of InSb, the III-V semiconductor with the largest spin-orbit coupling, using surface science techniques and theoretical modeling. Bi deposition onto Sb-terminated InSb(111) surfaces at elevat

Background: There is limited data on the organisation of paediatric echocardiography laboratories in Europe. Methods: A structured and approved questionnaire was circulated across all 95 Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology affiliated centres. The aims were to evaluate: (1) facilities in paediatric echocardiography laboratories across Europe, (2) accredited laboratories, (

Popular Abstract in Swedish I den boreala och tempererade klimatzonen är växternas fenologi synkroniserad med årstidsväxlingar i temperatur och dagslängd. För lövträd påverkar tidpunkten för knoppsprickning och lövfärgning både tillväxt och risktagande. En förlängd växtsäsong till följd av ett varmare klimat innebär sannolikt högre produktivitet inom skogsbruket, men kan också leda till ökad risk Plant phenology in the boreal and temperate climate zones is synchronised with seasonal changes in temperature and photoperiod. For deciduous trees, timing of budburst and leaf colouring define the growing season length and express adaptations to trade-offs in growth and risks. An extended growing season due to climate warming will likely increase forest productivity, however these potential benef

This article describes the interactive instrument/sound installation etherSound and discusses its artistic and ethical implications. etherSound is a work in progress and the main intent is to create a vehicle for audience participation through the use of SMS (Short Message Service). The two different contexts in which etherSound has been tried (in concert with performers and as a sound installatio

The procurement process can be defined as all the activities required in getting a product or a service from the supplier to a final destination. It encompasses the purchasing function, storing, transportation and manages the relations between suppliers and internal customers. It is a cyclical process involving the following activities: analysis, planning, implementation, and measurement. The perf

Imminent crises and the much-needed transition to a sustainable society bring knowledge about de-implementation to the fore. Using case studies with inspiration from process tracing, and with tools from Charles Tilly’s theory on Durable inequality, we identify mechanisms that generate inequality and counteract the implementation of recovery – and strength-based practices. Our case studies of socia

Low-dimensional topological states have transformed our understanding of charge transportation through quantum materials. Many relevant observations have been connected to bismuth (Bi) containing materials or ultrathin Bi films. Here, we studied sub-monolayer amounts of Bi deposition on the In-terminated InSb(111)A surface using various complementary surface science techniques. Bi deposition at el

The legal paradox. Which factors are decisive in honour-related cases for compulsory care of young persons? Previous studies have shown that honour-related violence and oppression has grown to become a major problem in Sweden. The municipal social service is obliged to help and support all people who become victims of violence. Yet, several municipalities in Sweden have been criticized for their
