Personlighetstest är vanligt förekommande i samband med rekrytering på arbetsmarknaden, då det ökar den prediktiva validiteten. Ett problem är att vissa arbetssökande skönmålar sina svar för att öka chansen till anställning, vilket är möjligt då många test använder sig av självskattning. Tidigare har man funnit att neutraliserade testitems har lyckats motverka skönmålning. Metoden har emellertid e
The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) has been a prevailing project management tool in the international development sector for decades, largely driven by donors. However, few studies have analysed its use from the practitioner perspective. The few studies done on the topic flag several issues with LFA, and some also suggest alternatives. Sweden is a leading actor in the development aid sector, and
Med denna uppsats önskar vi bidra till en ökad insikt i de utmaningar som journalistyrket står inför i samband med den ökade användningen av så kallad robotjournalistik. Vi har undersökt om den kompetens som krävs för att förstå sig på den teknologi som tas in på nyhetsredaktioner finns inom journalistyrket. Vi har även analyserat hur medieetiska principer efterföljs i samband med den nya teknolog
The main purpose of this thesis is to statistically analyze the impact of managerial overconfidence on cash dividends policy via fifty U.S. selected case firms during year 2008 to 2017. Intuition behind this is to take a closer look at and potentially detail the neoclassical MM dividends irrelevance policy, also to additionally take organizational behavior into consideration. In spite the fact th
I svensk skatterätt beskattas varje aktiebolag var för sig enligt principen om det enskilda skattesubjektet. Det finns emellertid undantag till denna huvudregel, för att tillmötesgå skattemässig neutralitet för koncerner. Koncernbidragsreglerna i 35 kap. inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) utgör ett viktigt inslag i koncernbeskattningen, genom att tillåta resultatutjämning mellan koncernbolag utifrån s
Background: Ratios of values of brachytherapy source strengths, as measured by hospitals and vendors, comprise constant differences as, e.g., systematic errors in ion chamber calibration factors and measurement setup. Such ratios therefore have the potential to reveal the systematic changes in routines or calibration services at either the hospital or the vendor laboratory, which could otherwise b
The liberty of religion is not easy to define or regulate. It is closely connected to other liberties and rights. Starting from individual liberty, the consequence will be a right to religion or from religion, the right to change religion or confession, and the right to transition from religion to no religion, or from no religion to religion. It is obvious that the state, the religious denominatio
Nearly 40 percent of overall energy usage in the European Union is used by buildings and 85 percent of that is for heating and cooling them[4]. This massive amount of energy is thought to be able to be lowered by introducing smarter control of the building systems. Technology to do this is continuously being developed and improved. The newest analysis system developed by Schneider Electric uses cl
Waste management is an important facet of sustainable development, as improper waste disposal will lead to various negative environmental and health impacts. Recycling has been found to be a useful way to manage waste materials and reduce the negative impacts of waste accumulation. In Thailand, attempts to increase recycling are being hindered by lack of public participation. The aim of this study
Eutrofiering är ett världsomspännande problem för sötvatten. Höga tillflöden av fosfor leder till försämrade förutsättningar för många typer av rovfiskar såsom abborre (Perca fluviatilis) och gädda (Esox lucius). Biomanipulation är en åtgärd som antas förbättra förutsättningarna för dessa rovfiskar, men kan samtidigt betyda försämrade förutsättningar för rovfiskarter som får konkurrensfördel av lå
Currently, there is a lack of qualified workers of all categories in the construction industry in Sweden and it is difficult to recruit people with the right skills. Therefore, it's important that the construction industry works to increase its diversity and change the way people communicate with each other at the construction sites. This study is designed to investigate what the challenges of
As growing populations concentrate in urban areas, it has become apparent that many global problems are a cumulative reflection of unsustainable practices at the local level. Correspondingly, there has been an increasing need to monitor and manage sustainable community growth, which includes a balance of environmental, economic, health, and social measures. Throughout the last decade, the communi
Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka frågan kring hur och varför instrumentalpedagoger ska undervisa i övning och övningsmetoder. Detta för att ge alla elever chans att utvecklas musikaliskt och instrumentalt så långt som möjligt. Arbetet behandlar områden som motivation, lärande och övning. Studien är genomförd på en kulturskola i Skåne med portföljmetod och kvalitativa intervjuer. Studien This study aims to answer the question about why and how music teachers should develop their pupils’ practice methods. This is to give all pupils a chance to develop as far as possible. The study discusses areas such as motivation, teaching and how to practice. The study takes place at a culture school in the south of Sweden. The method of the study is qualitative research, with interviews and por
The purpose of this study was to explore how nursing home managers relate to sexual needs of the elderly in the nursing homes. The empirical data consists of a vignette study followed by interviews with three nursing home managers. The aim was to involve six managers in our study but due to a major loss of respondents, we chose to complete our data collection with a review of the values which the
Wind energy production is a section that became bigger and bigger thanks to the interests in finding new ways to produce energy that do not involve fossil fuels because of environment concerns, because of their costs and because of their limited amount. Even though wind energy was exploited also in the past, for example in wind mills, it is with wind turbines that all the problems affecting these
De negativa effekter som korruption har på såväl enskilda nationer som det globala samhället i helhet är kända och väl dokumenterade. Ändå betalas uppskattningsvis tusen miljarder amerikanska dollar varje år i mutor över hela världen och både individer och organisationer erkänner att de begått korrupta handlingar. Intresset för att bekämpa korruption har ökat väsentligt under senare år, både på nThe negative effects that corruption has on both individual nations and the global society as a whole are known and well documented. Still, an estimated one trillion US dollars (US $1.000 billion) is paid each year in bribes worldwide and both individuals and organizations testify to engaging in corrupt behavior. The interest in fighting corruption has grown significantly in recent years, both i
Background and Aims: Patients undergoing surgery are prone to infections, either at the site of surgery (superficial or organ-space) or at remote sites (e.g. pneumonia or urinary tract). Surgical site infections are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, increased length of hospital stay and represent a huge burden to the health economy across all healthcare systems. Here we discuss
