Complex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium. Measurements of the solubility of PdI2(s) in aqueous mercury(II) perchlorate and of AgI(s) and PdI2(s) in aqueous solutions of Pd2+(aq) and Ag+(aq) gave the solubility product of PdI2(s) as Kso=(7±3) × 10−32 M3, which is much smaller than previous literature values.The stabilComplex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium.

This paper proposes a novel Doppler penalty kernel used in the computation of multitapers corresponding to the Wigner-Ville distribution. The resulting multitaper spectrogram will approximately fulfil the time-frequency concentration of the Wigner-Ville distribution but also suppress the cross-terms outside a signal dependent Doppler bandwidth, making the penalty kernel appropriate for linear freq

One aspect of how migration can affect countries’ economies is through the labor income sent from the emigrant back to the source country. These are called remittances and constitute an important income post for Jordan, the country which is the subject of this study. This study aims to investigate how the received remittances are affecting the recipient households’ labor supply by applying the neo

The focus of this paper is the paradigm of the Kyoto realization of the dialectal honorific suffix -haru found in the dialects spoken in the Kansai area of western Japan. A number of hypothetical forms are examined and tested against the intuitions of a native Japanese speaker familiar with the dialects of the Kansai area, including the Kyoto dialect, and the morphological possibilities and constr

In 2010, an explosive cholera epidemic erupted in Haiti, killing close to 10.000 people and injuring some 800.000. Several scientific reports have traced the spread of the bacterium back to the United Nations base in the Mirebalais in Haiti, which hosted the Nepalese peacekeeping contingent. Subsequent claims for reparation filed by cholera victims have been rejected by the United Nations which de

Titeln på min uppsats är: Vart är EU på väg? Det är en befogad fråga i dessa tider eftersom unionen ifrågasätts alltmer. Diskussionen angående EU:s demokratinivå och dess demokratiska underskott har aktualiserats ytterligare under 2017 då Storbritannien begärde utträde ur unionen. Målet med uppsatsen är att utreda i vad mån EU är en demokratisk institution. Utredningen kommer att redogöras genom eThe title of my thesis is: Where is the EU heading? It is a justified question in these times as the Union is increasingly questioned. The discussion concerning the level of democracy in the EU and its democratic deficit has been further elaborated in 2017 when Great Britain requested its withdrawal from the Union. The aim of the thesis is to analyse to what extent the EU is a democratic instituti

Human activities such as eutrophication, overfishing and pollution have significant effects on marine ecosystems. The marine environment of the Baltic Sea is historically one of the seas in the world that has been contaminated for the longest time. This study focuses on Hanö bay, which is a part of the Baltic Sea where the problems are presumed to be of major character. Poor water quality, poor fi

This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos

The stock market has come to play a larger role in many people's lives as years pass and its accessibility has come to be exponentially easier for many. Investment in publicly listed companies has become a foundation of saving and a way of managing wealth for the general public. Even though the stock market permeates many of our daily lives and is heavily monitored and regulated, there is stil

In year 2006 Carlings was named the most profitable chain, selling clothes, in Sweden. A year after they ended up on the podium once again. What is remarkable about this result is the fact the company does not exploit any direct marketing or offer a differentiated product compared to its competitors such as H&M and Gina Tricot. How did they manage to do this? The intention of this paper is to

The aim of this study was to examine whether or not there is a correlation between soccer position, personality and birth order. A total of 82 questionnaires was handed out and collected from four soccer teams from semiprofessional Swedish leagues, two male teams and two female. The player’s questionnaire consisted of their usual position on the soccer pitch, information about their siblings such

Uppsatsen handlar om ogiltigförklaring och skadestånd inom ramen för ämnet tvister om uppsägnings- och avskeds giltighet. Uppsatsen använder en kombination av rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod. Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra, problematisera och jämföra gällande rätt med LAS-utredningens- och överenskommelsens förslag inom ramen för uppsatsens ämne. Syftet är vidare att analysera potent

The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige

This study was performed as a digital survey directed towards social work students at Lunds University in Lund and Helsingborg. The selected students were students who had performed or at the moment were performing their social work internships, which means students in the last three semesters (5-7) of the social work education. A total of 85 answered surveys were collected. The purpose of the stu

John Lucas and Roger Penrose attempted to refute Computationalism, the theory that the human mind is a computational system. They did so by utilizing meta-mathematical proofs by Kurt Gödel. I will explore various objections made against the attempt and discover that it relies on two uncertain premises – human consistency and proof for the consistency of a formal system. Revisions of the argument a

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the removal of repetitive tasks would affect employees’ motivation. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this thesis is built upon theory regarding motivation, feedback, boring tasks and commitment. Methodology: A qualitative empirical research approach consisting of a multi-case study. Empirical foundation: The empirical data
