Self-assembling of a carotenoid and pheophytin a into a supramolecular system was observed on the surface of nanocrystalline TiO2, and the photoinduced electron-transfer reactions within the system were studied by means of femtosecond transient absorption and laser flash photolysis techniques. Excitation of the pheophytin moiety results in ultrafast electron transfer from carotenoid to the excited

Cardiovascular nursing (CVN) is rapidly developing and has accumulated a large amount of evidence to support interventions aimed at reducing suffering and hastening recovery. However, knowledge of the extent and content of CVN training in Sweden is lacking. The aim of this study was therefore to identify and describe CVN in the Swedish RN education as well as in higher education, with reference to

In this study we investigated the impact of water uptake by aerosol particles in ambient atmosphere on their optical properties and their direct radiative effect (ADRE, W m(-2)) in the Arctic at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, during 2008. To achieve this, we combined three models, a hygroscopic growth model, a Mie model and a radiative transfer model, with an extensive set of observational data. We found t

A thorough computational study has been performed to investigate oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions catalyzed by dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) with a catalytic molybdenum or tungsten ion. Thirteen different density functional theory (DFT) methods have been employed to obtain structural parameters along the reaction pathway, and single-point energies were computed with local correlation co

Our current economic system is inherently unsustainable. The ‘growth fetishism’ not only is the dominant paradigm of our economies, but goes way deeper into our understanding of how well-being is defined and can be improved. The concept of ‘degrowth’ tries to question this hegemony. However, so far, degrowth has not entered the public debate in a sufficient way. I argue that degrowth needs more in

The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim

Uppsatsen behandlar i huvudsak tre mer eller mindre avgränsade problem med anknytning till återbäringsinstitutet i 17 kap ABL. Ett grundläggande problem med regleringen av värdeöverföringar är att de ofta upptäcks långt efter att de genomfördes, vilket ger upphov till en viss typ av problem. Den första problemställningen som behandlas rör värderingsfrågor. De frågetecken som finns i denna del rörThis paper essentially describes three more or less defined issues related to the institution “Value transfers” in Section 17 in the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551). An underlying problem with the regulation of value transfers is that a value transfer often is revealed much later than the transaction took place, which causes a certain type of problems. The first issue described concerns valuatio

The end of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development in the present year marked a scenario to evaluate the achievement made among nations. However the success of implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not equal as well the information available on the subject depens on the country. The aim of the thesis is to deliver a current status and recommendations for impr

En central del av många internetföretags verksamhet är insamlingen, lagringen och användningen av personuppgifter som överlämnats till bolagen genom registrering. Med personuppgifter avses all information som kan hänföras till en specifik person och i takt med samhällets globalisering har denna information kommit att få ett betydande kommersiellt värde. Överföringen av personuppgifter från EU tillTo various internet companies the collection, storage and use of personal data that has been transmitted through registration is an essential part of the companies business. Personal data refers to all information relating to a specific person and as a consequence of society’s globalization this information has a considerable commercial value. The transfer of personal data from the EU to the US is

Purpose: The aim of this study is to inquire into the congruency of store image perceptions, projected by Ikea and Ilva, and how Danish and Swedish consumers perceive the aforementioned stores’ images in their respective domestic market. Also, the aim sets out to evaluate the success of these stores’ images on consumers and on transference to host markets. Further, the aim is to discern specific s

I Socialstyrelsens rapport ”Vårdnadsöverflyttning i samband med våld i familjen” som publicerades 2013 framkom att det i många fall tog lång tid för vårdnaden att flyttas från en förälder som dödat den andra föräldern. Detta föranledde regeringen att utreda möjliga lösningar för att vårdnadsöverflyttningen i sådana fall skulle kunna göras snabbare, och resulterade i införandet av 6 kap 10 d § förä

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to see what luxury brands gain from a limited-edition collaboration in terms of segment, positioning and target group and based on the identity prism, see what characteristics that are transferred from and to the brands in the collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: First a literature review is presented with relevant theories for the purpose of the paper

What effect does a collision between two clusters have on their dissolving time? In order to answer this question, a new type of N-body simulation using a double integration of a cluster was built. Instead of introducing a perturbation representing the gravitational force of the Milky Way into a local simulation of the cluster, the cluster orbit was integrated in the potential of the Milky Way,

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av timeouter i handboll, hur de används och vad som kommuniceras. En fallstudie genomfördes med ett herrhandbollslag i den högsta divisionen i svensk handboll. En kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod användes där tränarens kommunikation kategoriserades med hjälp av Hasties (1999) instrument för skattning av tränarkommunikation under timeout.The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of timeouts in handball, how they are used and what is communicated. A case study was performed with a men’s handball team in the top division in Swedish handball. A combined quantitative and qualitative method was used where the coach’s communication was categorized using Hastie’s (1999) instrument for assessment of coach communication

The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of

In 2014 the de facto annexation of Crimea by the Russia became official. Crimea was accordingly recognized as a part of Russia; what led to these events? The purpose of this thesis is to examine how we can understand Russia’s behavior against Ukraine from an identity perspective. Tomas Lindemanns theory is the foundation of this thesis, his work present how a state can be non-recognized in the int

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur de två faktorerna självförtroende och inre motivation skiljer sig åt mellan personer som har kommit olika långt i riktning mot ett fysiskt aktivt liv. 144 försökspersoner besvarade 19 frågor i en enkätstudie. Deras svar angående motionsvanor och attityd gentemot fysisk aktivitet placerade dem i olika faser i den transteoretiska modellen. Därefter jämförd

Studien undersökte grundskolelärares inställning till att bli utvärderade av sina elever. Metoden var kvantitativ och en enkät utformades av författarna för att förstå lärarnas inställning. Svar från 55 grundskolelärare analyserades och presenterades i studien. Resultatet visade att grundskolelärare inte anser att elevutvärderingar kan bidra till att förbättra undervisningen. Lärarna trodde att deThe study investigated grade school teachers’ attitudes about pupil evaluation of teaching. The method used was quantitative and a questionnaire was developed to capture the teachers’ attitudes. A sample of 55 grade school teachers was analyzed and presented in this study. The results indicated that grade school teachers do not find pupil evaluations helpful in improving their teaching. The teache
