After World War Two the final battles of the Chinese civil war were being played out in mainland China. The forces between the upstart Chinese Communist Party and the U.S ally by the name of The Nationalist Party (KMT) clashed in what would ultimately end in a bitter defeat for KMT. In a last ditch effort to avoid total defeat KMT fled to an offshore island by the name of Taiwan and subjugated its
Many selection methodologies and tools have been developed in attempts to make recruitment processes more accurate and to improve objectivity in this area. However, these methods and tools can only improve objectivity to the extent that they are not affected by unconscious feelings, or implicit processes used by the recruiter. The purpose of this study is to try to discover in what way intuition s
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the safety of life during evacuation from the icebreaker Sankt Erik in Stockholm in the event of fire onboard. Sankt Erik was decommissioned in 1977 and operates since 1980 as a museum under the Swedish Maritime Museum in Stockholm, moored at Galärvarvet. Being a museum no major alterations to the structure are allowed. Furthermore, the majority of the mat
Bolagsordningar och aktieägaravtal skapar en hel del rättsfrågor, både individuellt och ihop. Många problem rör rättshandlingarnas rättsverkningar och vad verkningarna innebär för aktieägarna, bolaget och övriga avtalsparter. Dessa rättsfrågor har utretts i denna text och särskild hänsyn tagits till hur skydd för svagare part formar och påverkar rättsverkningarna för bolagsordningen och aktieägaraArticles of association and shareholders’ agreements create many legal issues both individually and together. Many of the problems revolve around the legal effects of the acts; what the effects entail for the shareholders, the company and other contractors. These questions have been examined in this text and special regards have been given to how protection for weaker parts form and affect the leg
Various research within the field of behavioral economics have proven payment mechanisms to be affecting consumer behavior, giving rise to the question what kind of impact different shopping methods may have. This paper investigates consumer behavior with two different approaches. The first approach is comparing self scanning consumers with consumers using traditional cashier check out, and the se
In the light of changing global foreign direct investment (FDI) patterns, economic research has started to pay an increasing amount of attention to China as one of the new main investor countries, and emphasize the implications of this in the world economy. This thesis examines Chinese FDI flows and investor behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and relates this to the academic debate surrounding

Despite the fact of being considered as one of the safest regions in the world, the EU reports a wide number of cases of human trafficking every year in its Member States. Moreover, free movement of persons that EU membership grants makes it easier for human trafficking criminals to transport and exploit victims within Member States. The country that has shown by far to have the largest number of
The topic of this thesis is how to infer geometric information using sound data. Achieving this requires solving several subproblems. First, signal processing of the recorded sound is needed to compute measurements of primitive geometric relations. Secondly, robust estimation is needed to go from primitive geometric measurements to more useful higher-level information such as the locations of micr
Easy and low-threshold access is considered to be a major advantage of online services. In Sweden, social services in several municipalities strive to increase their accessibility by responding to anonymous users online. This paper raises the question about the nature of accessibility that the online social services entail. Two online platforms were studied: synchronous online chats and asynchrono
This study explores systems for recognizing and rewarding teaching excellence in higher education, where engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is considered an important merit. Nearly a decade ago, Fanghanel et al. (2016) identified the underutilized potential of teaching recognition as an institutional tool. More recently, Graham (2025) has documented a transformation in u
The 2022 edition of Lund Architecture Symposium (LAS22) will engage in (re)activating architectures. During recent years, architecture has frequently been used to communicate the ramifications of contemporary life and culture. Rarer is the communication of architecture’s role within these ramifications. Responding to this dilemma, this symposium will explore architecture that takes a much more act
When designing novel technology, many of the important design decisions tend to be taken early in the process, which is also when it is usually easier to modify the design. Thus, it is important to learn as much as possible, as early as possible in any design process. This work is carried out within the EU project ABILITY, which aims at developing novel refreshable tactile displays. Previously, we
For more than two years we were involved in a collaborative process with the aim of finding out how sharing life stories could ensure “the right to the city” in Malmö, Sweden. This process led to the formation of the Gathered Voices of Malmö, an association for social justice oral history that strives to become a community archive. This article is about how sharing authority was interpreted collec
Syftet med denna uppsats är att i en underutforskad grupp - män på höga hierarkiska positioner - studera samvariation mellan emotionsreglering, de självmedvetna emotionerna skam och stolthet samt personlighetsdrag för att nå hög social status. Resultaten jämförs med resultat från tidigare studier på andra populationer. Förmågan att reglera emotioner kan vara en av de mest genomgripande utmaningarnThe aim of this essay is to study covariation between emotion regulation, the self- conscious emotions shame and pride, personality traits to reach high social status; in a rarely explored group – men in high hierarchic positions. The results are compared with results from earlier studies on other populations. The ability to regulate emotions may be one of the most pervasive challenges by which hu
Arbetsmiljölagen är en generellt formulerad ramlag som tillkom på 1970-talet. I det moderna arbetslivet har många av de arbetsmiljörelaterade problem som kan uppstå ändrat karaktär och skaderisken flyttas mer och mer från den fysiska till den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. I takt med att denna utveckling sker uppstår behovet av att göra nya tolkningar av hur lagen ska appliceras. Den här uppsatsen undThe Work Environment Act is formulated in general terms and originates from the 1970s. In the modern work life many of the work environment related problems that can emerge has changed in character, and the risk of injury has changed from the physical to the psychosocial work environment. As this development takes place the need for new interpretations on how the Act should be applied occurs. This
Syftet med denna undersökning är att bidra med kunskap kring lärande och hur det är kopplat till självförtroende, självuppfattning och normer i undervisningen. Jag har valt att intervjua studenter från Musikhögskolan i Malmö, där jag för närvarande själv studerar till musiklärare. Studien utgår från studenternas perspektiv och är avgränsad till två huvudområden, undervisning i gehör och notläsninThe aim with this study is to try to contribute to the common knowledge about how learning is connected to self-confidence, and how norms and expectations influence a learning environment. I have interviewed students from Malmö Academy of Music (Sweden), where I am currently finishing my studies in music teacher education. The study assumes a student’s point of view, and is framed a round two sub
