Northern Ireland has long been a case that has interested researchers in different disciplines. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, it has attracted attention as a politically rare case within the UK. Its land border with the Republic of Ireland and history of conflict results in unique consequences post-Brexit. Analyzing the impact of the British media in shaping the way Northern Ireland was con

This thesis is based on the problem of transferring knowledge across different cultures. It is a qualitative research, which takes place in Uganda and Tanzania, consisting of six interviews with participants from two batches in the Sida program, two observations and one workshop. The point of departure were two questions: 1) What cultural aspects affect the knowledge transfer within the Sida:s “Ch

Title: Managing service innovation in small-medium sized enterprises: a resource based view Date of Seminar: 3rd June 2014 Course: Master Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and Degree Project (Master Thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Elida Cimic and Junjie Ren Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Service Innovation, Small and Medium sized Enterprises, Resource Based View, Innovation Strat

The purpose of this study was to investigate the responsibilities transnational Kosovo-Albanian migrants take over their older relatives. To achieve our purpose, we have carried out a qualitative study in which we have had oral interviews with seven Kosovo-Albanian migrants who immigrated to Sweden in the 90s. Our theoretical starting point has been transnational migration, and we have used concep

Abstract Herein we report on the decarboxylative alkenylation between alkyl carboxylic acids and enol triflates. The reaction is mediated by a dual catalytic nickel and iridium system, operating under visible light irradiation. Two competing catalytic pathways, from the excited state iridium photocatalyst, are identified. One is energy transfer from the excited state, resulting in formation of an

Regulation of development and entry into sporulation is critical for fungi to ensure survival of unfavorable environmental conditions. Here we present an analysis of gene sets regulating sporulation in the homothallic ascomycete Ashbya gossypii. Deletion of components of the conserved pheromone/starvation MAP kinase cascades, e.g., STE11 and STE7, results in increased sporulation. In kar3 mutants

In this paper, the effect of polarization on the downlink sum-rate capacity of multi-user Cooperative Multi-Point (CoMP) systems using synchronous multi-link measurement data, for two different antenna arrangements, is studied. In the first setup, four antenna patches each of which with dual-polarized antenna elements at the base station (BS) with inter-patch distance varied from half wavelength tIn this paper, the effect of polarization on the downlink achievable sum-rate of multi-user Cooperative Multi-Point (CoMP) systems is studied using synchronous multi-link channel measurements with two different antenna arrangements. In the first setup, four dual-polarized antenna patches with inter-patch distance varied from half wavelength to 8 m are considered at the base station (BS). In the se

The thesis explores the obligation in international law to protect the ecological integrity of transboundary watercourses. The thesis specifically examines the obligation to protect environmental flows, which essentially means to protect a certain water flow for the benefit of freshwater ecosystems and the ecosystem services they supply.

This paper investigates whether the exports of different products by the same firm are systematically interconnected. Using Swedish firm-registry data from 1997-2011, I first document that the distribution of firm export sales is skewed towards their best performing products (‘superstars’). I then use a novel instrumental variable approach to identify if the ‘superstar’ products induce more trade

Using qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter. By scrutinizing free text comments in 181 individual consumer reports of adverse drug reactions, we could obtain important information about how people, as indUsing qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter.

This thesis is concerned with refugee status determination (RSD) in the context of ‘natural’ disasters and climate change. Considering evidence that the legal predicament of people who seek recognition of refugee status in this connection has been inconsistently addressed by judicial bodies in leading refugee law jurisdictions, and identifying theoretical as well as doctrinal impediments to a clea

Most of the care in nursing homes is palliative in nature, as it is the oldest and the frailest people who live in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to explore next of kin's experiences of participating in the care of older persons at nursing homes. A qualitative design was used, based on semi-structured interviews with 40 next of kin, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. An ove

SynopsisProtonolysis of the title compounds involves rate-determining proton transfer to the substrate. Subsequent isomerization is dissociative. Activation volumes for the two processes have opposite signs. A new kinetic β-hydrogen accelerating effect for isomerization favoring the fluxionality of a T-shaped 14-electron intermediate is reported.AbstractProtonolysis of the complexes cis-[PtR2(PEt3

K2[Pd(NO3)4] has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by use of a CAD-4 diffractometer with monochromatic Mo Kα radiation. The space group is P21/c with Z = 4; a= 7.940(2); b = 15.469(4); c = 9.453(2) Å; β = 91.10(3)°. The refinement converged to R = 0.023. The structure contains discrete complexes of [Pd(NO3)4]2− with pseudo-symmetry C4. Pd coordinates four oxygens from different un

Barley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects. The proposed mechanisms behind the health effects are the formation

Firstly, the employer has, According to lagen (1976:580) om medbestämmande i arbetslivet, an obligation to negotiate with employee unions when making significant changes in the organization. This predominantly applies to unions with collective agreements, but in some cases even unions without collective agreements may have a right to negotiate. The question of what constitutes a significant change
