Elite athletes in entrepreneurship is an emergent field of research with scholars showing advantageous entrepreneurial traits in the athletes and a good job-fit between athletes and entrepreneurship. However, current literature presents a fragmented view, often examining characteristics in isolation, and failing to show the process of how elite athletes become entrepreneurs. Hence, this study seek

Ett barn har behov av en vårdnadshavare från dess födelse till sin 18 års dag. Vem det ska vara regleras i föräldrabalken och den gör modern till ensam vårdnadshavare till ett barn när det föds utanför äktenskapet. Om föräldrarna vill kan de ansöka om gemensam vårdnad, eller då samtycke inte finns kan den andra föräldern väcka talan om ensam eller gemensam vårdnad. För att förstå varför reglerna A child needs a guardian from its birth to its 18th birthday. Who that should be is regulated in the föräldrabalken which makes the mother the sole custodian of a child when a child is born out of wedlock. If the parents so wish, they can apply for joint custody, or when consent is not reached, the other parent can sue for solitary or joint custody. In order to understand why the rules are formed

The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base

I detta examensarbete har tanken varit att få en ökad kunskap för hur chiafröet påverkar det glutenfria brödet. Orsaken till det glutenfria brödets uppkomst är sjukdomen celiaki. Samtidigt som forskning utförs inom området celiaki är det svårt för människor med denna diagnos att hitta bra glutenfria brödalternativ. Den sensoriska kvalitén, texturen och smaken i ett glutenfritt bröd kan tyckas vara

Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc

This master thesis is an attempt to approach the issue of the lack of application of cause advocacy in modern social work practice. The research problem is framed in a way that historical roots of the commitment to social justice in the profession are presented with the further argumentation for the lack of this approach in contemporary social work. A qualitative study has been conducted to fulfil

Diabetes Mellitus is a generic term for metabolic diseases were insulin levels are insufficient and in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus insulin also fails to stimulate glucose uptake. Recent findings indicate that cells from the innate immune system could be involved in development of both type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Basophilic granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and contribute to h

Stroke affects a vast amount of people every year. As a result, many survivors have at least partially lost some of their abilities which are necessary to complete everyday activities. Although rehabilitation can be used to improve those abilities, many survivors claim that conventional methods are demotivating and discouraging. The aim of this project is to develop and test interactive objects, w

Cardiac magnetic resonance is widely used to non-invasive image the heart, for both clinical and research purposes. Segmenting different parts of the heart provides important diagnostic information. Performing this task manually is time-consuming and operator dependent, hence it would be beneficial to automate this process. The aim of this thesis is to implement an algorithm to segment the right v

A common approach for the computational modeling of enzyme reactions is to study a rather small model of the active site (20-200 atoms) with quantum mechanical (QM) methods, modeling the rest of the surroundings by a featureless continuum with a dielectric constant of approximately 4. In this paper, we discuss how the residues included in the QM model should be selected and how many residues need

This naturalistic study presents outcomes for three therapy types practiced in psychiatric public health care in Sweden. Data were collected over a 3-year period at 13 outpatient psychiatric care services participating in the online Quality Assurance of Psychotherapy in Sweden (OAPS) system. Of the 1,498 registered patients, 14% never started psychotherapy, 17% dropped out from treatment, and 36%

Thin semitransparent gels were prepared by radical copolymerization of N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA) and acrylamide (AAm) taken in molar ratios from 8:92 to 16:84, respectively, in water. The gels were characterized by the content of immobilized NAAPBA and monomer conversion. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the micrometer size pores in the dried gels. The wet gels displayed a

Background Switching to a second tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) after discontinuation of a first in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common strategy. The reason for the switch from the first TNFi could potentially influence the response to therapy. Data on direct comparisons between TNFi after switching are limited. Methods The national Swedish register was used. RA patients who switched to

Nyckelord: Hållbar utveckling, hållbar mat, ekologisk produktion, jordbruk, LCA, miljö- och klimatsmart mat, Sveriges miljömål Problem: Den globala livsmedelsproduktionen ansvarar för en relativt stor del av världens totala miljöpåverkan. En hållbar utveckling behövs och inte minst en hållbar produktion och konsumtion av mat. Studien tar ett grepp genom att med fokus på hållbar utveckling, tolka bProblem: The environmental impact from food production accounts for a relatively high percentage of the world’s environmental impacts. We need a sustainable development, not least a sustainable production and consumption of food. The study focuses on the concept of sustainable food through a comprehensive approach. Furthermore, the study embraces different impacts food creates on the climate and e

A sustainable development was defined by the Brundtlandscommission for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development as "... a development that meets present needs without compromising future generations to meet their own needs". The definition includes a broad consideration of economic, environmental and social aspects. The definition thus creates a good example of the

Syftet med studien var att se om det finns någon skillnad i upplevd psykosocial arbetsmiljö utifrån företagets värdegrunder och mellan de demografiska variablerna generation (generation X födda mellan 1961-1981 och generation Y födda 1982-2002), kön samt befattning. En internetenkät skickades ut till 130 anställda vid IKEA. De anställda var slumpmässigt utvalda från olika bolag inom IKEA belägna iThe purpose of the study was to discover a noticeable relationship between the psychosocial working habitat, seen from the employing company’s values, between sex and function among two variable demographical generations (generation X born between 1961-1981 and generation Y born between 1982-2002). An Internet based survey was sent out to 130 employees at IKEA. The employees had been chosen at ran

Objective: To develop and initially test a new questionnaire to be used to investigate former ICU patients physical and psychosocial needs/problems and if it change over time. Design: A questionnaire was developed based on the Likert scale. The items were generated from literature search and from personal experiences of follow up visit. SF 12 was used to assess the questionnaires concurrent validi
