Introducing a new employee into an organization is a critical time for the individual and the organization in question. Successful introductions can create high job satisfaction, increased performance, organizational commitment, and social integration – also called organizational socialization. There are many benefits of a successful socialization process; therefore, understanding what new employe
Uppsatsen undersöker EU:s åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism (AML-direktiven) och dess förenlighet med rätten till privatliv och dataskyddsregler. Då långtgående befogenheter att behandla personuppgifter för brottsprevention och upptäckande av penningtvätt traditionellt sätt har tillhört brottsbekämpande verksamhet ställer uppsatsen frågan huruvida AML-direktiven ger befogenheThe thesis explores the EU’s anti-money laundering framework’s compatibility with conditions required under privacy rights. It asks the question whether the anti-money laundering framework confers obligations to private entities and other actors not belonging to law enforcement in a way which risks violation to the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection. The thesis elucidates the signif
The study has explored the teams’ perceptions of driving forces and challenges of psychological safety (PS) in three different work-setting arrangements (WSAs), which are remote, hybrid, and on-site. These findings were discovered by interviewing three teams, each of which worked in different WSAs, and by asking them questions about what factors influence their PS. After that, thematic analysis wa
This study investigates the effects of violating deontic constraints on the Japanese conditional markers to and ba. Via an online survey, native speakers reviewed sentences containing violations of these constraints, evaluating their own ability to understand the sentence and the proficiency of the sentences’ authors. Additionally, they were asked to correct sentences they rated poorly, and determ
In Sweden, household preparedness is central to crisis management, but local, comprehensive data on it is largely lacking. Additionally, in academia, there is uncertainty around the correlations between actual (AHP) and perceived household preparedness (PHP). This study aims to address both these issues through the exploration of a more comprehensive framework to assess household preparedness. The
En del psykologer som behandlar individer med trauma får själva samma eller liknande symptom som de som dem exponeras för. Föreliggande studie åsyftar att undersöka hur psykologers upplevelser av och professionella strategier i behandling av krigs-och tortyrtrauma kan förstås utifrån arketypiska gestalter. Sex psykologer från olika delar av Sverige rekryterades för semistrukturerade djupintervjuer
The genetic underpinnings of ecological adaptations, such as host-plant use in herbivorous insects, is a vital area of research in evolutionary biology because they reveal how phenotypic variation arises and the extent to which this can happen through parallel mechanisms. This study provides unique insights into the genomic basis and gene expression changes in Tephritis conura's adaptation to
Emergency department (ED) crowding is an increasing problem in many countries. The purpose of this study was to develop a quantitative model that estimates the degree of crowding based on workload in Swedish EDs.
SUMMARY The aim of the project was to find out if cracks in concrete exposed to water can heal so that chloride ingress in the crack is effectively obstructed. If this is the case it might be possible to accept wider cracks in concrete than is allowed today. 18 concrete specimens with induced cracks, 0.2 and 0.4 mm wide, were exposed to sea water, brackish water and tap water for 1 year. For most
Terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs) contain the coupling of many biogeochemical processes with a large number of parameters involved. In many cases those parameters are highly uncertain. In order to reduce those uncertainties, parameter estimation methods can be applied, which allow the model to be constrained against observations. We compare the performance and results of two such parameter estim
The PHENIX experiment has measured the production of pi(0)s in Au + Au collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV. The new data offer a fourfold increase in recorded luminosity, providing higher precision and a larger reach in transverse momentum, p(T), to 20 GeV/c. The production ratio of eta/pi(0) is 0.46 +/- 0.01(stat) +/- 0.05(syst), constant with p(T) and collision centrality. The observed ratio is co
Environmental levels of airborne carcinogenic and related substances are comparatively better known than individual exposure and its determinants. We report on a personal monitoring program involving five Swedish urban populations. The aim of the program was to investigate personal exposure to benzene, 1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The measurements were performed among 4
This paper presents a wireless receiver frontend intended for cellular applications implemented in a 65 nm CMOS technology. The circuit features a low noise amplifier (LNA), quadrature passive mixers, and a frequency divider generating 25 % duty cycle quadrature local oscillator (LO) signals. A complementary common-gate LNA is used, and to meet the stringent linearity requirements it employs posit
The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and various cytokines are known to be increased during sepsis. These signaling molecules could potentially act as regulators and underlie the enhancement of mitochondrial function described in the later phase of sepsis. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between observed changes in platelet mitochondrial respiration and a set of pro- and anti-inflammatory cy
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in the intestines is an inflammatory condition which activates leukocytes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Bilberry and chokeberry fruits are rich sources of polyphenols which may act as antioxidants and prevent lipid peroxidation. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may improve microbial status in the intestines and in
Many children and adolescents with hearing impairment struggle to meet school demands. The difficulties can be traced to the characteristics of the hearing impairment, and to adverse consequences on language development, often overlooked in diagnostics and intervention. This thesis investigates the communicative ability of children and adolescents with bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment by
Incubators have emerged as crucial intermediaries for facilitating innovation for established companies. This thesis examines the process of transferring innovation from incubators back to established businesses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders representing both sides of the relationship: managers responsible for fostering and supporting innovative ventures within incub
