We probe the implications of 5 different previously developed models of the evolution of the Milky Way’s radial metallicity gradient for radial migration of stars observed today between 5kpc < R < 12kpc. Our sample contains 7167 giant stars, with metallicities and radial velocities obtained from APOGEE DR14, full 5-parameter kinematic information from Gaia DR2, and ages derived in Martig et al. 20

To find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana, a multi-criteria spatial-based model is developed using the GIS-MCE approach. In respect to the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approach, in this research a set of criteria is classified under 3 themes – economic, environmental and social. To determine the criterion and theme weights and perform their aggre

The interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasing. Today, organiza-tions face stronger demands and expectations from stakeholders to more active work with CSR than ever. While the interest in CSR is increasing, companies operating in controversial industries are being criticized for using CSR commitments as strate-gies for obtaining legitimacy. Our perception is that the majority

Detta är en kvalitativ studie över den strategiska kommunikation som Kristdemokraterna använder sig av i deras valkampanj inför valet till Europaparlamentet 2019 Make EU Lagom Again utifrån ett perspektiv på populism som en kommunikations-stil. Detta för att öka förståelsen för hur populism som ett kommunikativt fenomen kan förstås i en svensk politisk kontext. Studien baseras på en kritisk retoriThis is a qualitative study on the strategic communication that Kristdemokraterna use in their campaign for the European parliament 2019, Make EU Lagom Again from a perspective on populism as a political communication style.

Förmåga till självreglering är betydelsefullt för akademisk framgång samt fysisk och socioemotionell hälsa. Utvecklingen av självreglering, som innefattar effortful control och exekutiva funktioner (EF), börjar i förskoleålder och påverkas av olika aspekter av föräldraskapet. Studien föreslog att mind-mindedness, förälderns förmåga och villighet att mentalisera kring sitt barn, skulle kunna vara eSelf-regulation is important for physical and socioemotional well-being as well as academic success. Development of self-regulation, including effortful control and executive function (EF), in early childhood is influenced by several aspects of parenting. The current study tested the idea that parents with higher ability and willingness to mentalize their children are more reliable assessors of th

In tourism, hotel customers and hotel settings are changing and evolving their nature: new dynamics and new contexts create and co-create new value. Hotels integrate new elements in their offer to recreate innovative physical environments and increase the customer experience. As a result, new and specific hotel genres are now operating on the market and each one is characterized by a different and

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur egenutgivande författare förhåller sig till marknadsföring av sina böcker. Materialet i undersökningen består av intervjuer med medlemmar från Facebook-gruppen ”Egenutgivare på Facebook” och en enkätundersökning publicerad i samma Facebook-grupp. Materialet har analyserats utifrån tre olika teorier: digital marknadsföring, segmentering och John B. Thompson

Despite the abundance of available tools for describing and analyzing gene expression data, few are properly suited for downstream analysis of quantitative proteomics data. An accurate depiction of the proteome requires us to move from a gene-centric analysis, towards one that accounts for the diversity of the proteome and respects its complexity. Here, an improved approach for first generation fu

Having fun at work has become a popular topic among practitioners and academic writers. Managed fun is the form of workplace fun that “stems from managers” (Plester, Cooper-Thomas & Winquist, 2015, p.381). However, researchers suggest that the ‘dark side’ of fun is to be further investigated as most of the empirical data is focusing on the positive effects of having fun at work (Fleming, 2005;

Syftet med studien var att utröna hur sambandet mellan upplevd flexibilitet av arbetstider och självskattat psykiskt välmående såg ut. Detta då en del studier har funnit att flexibilitet i arbetstider var fördelaktigt för psykiskt välmående, medan andra har funnit det motsatta. Undersökningen var en enkätbaserad tvärsnittsstudie. Psykiskt välmående mättes med Mental Health Continuum Short Form (MHThe purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between perceived flexibility of working hours and self-reported mental well-being. This due to the fact that some studies have found that flexibility in working hours was beneficial for mental well-being, while others have found the opposite. The method was a cross-sectional survey. Mental well- being was measured using Mental Health Contin

Hållbarhet har länge varit ett omtalat begrepp och fenomen som stått högt upp på många organisationers agenda, inte minst inom livsmedelsindustrin. Tidigare forskning inom hållbarhetskommunikation på livsmedelsförpackningar har tenderat att fokusera på andra aspekter än det visuella, och vidare har semiotisk forskning betraktats som något av en bristvara. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att bi

Background | Motor dysfunction due to progressive nigrostriatal degeneration is a key feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Hemizygous loss of Engrailed-1 (En1) induces features reminiscent of PD in mice, such as nigrostriatal axonal degeneration and dopaminergic neuron death in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) starting at three weeks of age. Interestingly, the neuropathological phenotype

I vårt globala samhälle har hållbarhet blivit av allt större vikt för organisationer i olika typer av branscher. Organisationer tenderar idag att prioritera att arbeta med externkommunikation gällande hållbarhetsfrågor istället för att bygga upp den inom organisationen via internkommunikation. För att påverka och skapa en mer hållbar affärsstrategi argumenterar vi för att ledare måste prioritera sIn our global society sustainability has become increasingly more important for organizations in different kinds of businesses. Organizations tend to favour to communicate externally that they are working with sustainability instead of com- municating internally. In order to impact and implement a more sustainable busi- ness strategy we argue that leaders need to prioritize and develop their inter

Sport is a crucial arena in which hegemonic masculinity is constructed and reinforced. The creation of gendered hierarchies is a powerful tool contributing to the persistence of male dominance, subordinating those not conforming to the specific expectations of what counts as ‘masculine’. Conducting an analysis of 24 German and British online articles reporting on weightlifting during the 2012 Lond

I Sverige har kvinnor högre utbildningsnivå än män samt är i klar majoritet bland universitetsstudenter. Trots detta är kvinnor i tydlig minoritet på arbetslivets topp. När studierna är klara och arbetslivet tar vid skiftar dominansen. Vad händer på vägen? Termen “glastak” refererar till de hinder som finns för kvinnor att nå toppjobb. Studien ämnade undersöka om det fanns tecken på att glastaket Women in Sweden have a higher level of education than men and are a distinct majority among university students. Despite this, women are a clear minority at the top of the labour force. When school’s out and working life begins, there is a shift in the dominance. What happens along the way? The term “glass ceiling” refers to the obstacles that exist for women to reach top jobs. The study intended

This paper discusses the phenomenon surrounding the concept introversion and the medial discourse concerning it in Sweden. It also analyses the concept with a medical anthropological perspective in the Swedish context as an attempt to explain why introversion has become a popular personality type to both write about and identify with. How do the media handle the concept? What does this say about t

Öga för öga, tand för tand är en straffrättslig princip som myntades av kung Hammurabi i Babylonien kring år 1700 före Kristus genom Hammurabis lag. Principen om öga för öga, tand för tand innebär att den som orsakat skada ska lida samma skada. Svensk straffrätt har gått från resonemanget att ”ont ska botas med ont” till straff och skadestånd i pengar och därför finns inte principen om öga för ögaChapter 5 article 2 of the Property Formation Act reads that the person who forfeitsland shall be compensated with land primarily. This means that the principal rule isthat land shall be compensated with land, but when this is not deemed appropriated compensation in money is acceptable. Furthermore, the paragraphmeans that the Surveying Authority (LM) may decide against the land owners wish that c

This thesis investigates the under-researched relationship between open innovation (OI) and organisational learning (OL). It addresses questions on how design agencies (DAs) (as a form of inbound OI) influence their client company’s OL process. It also considers the main barriers companies face at each stage of the OL process and how these barriers impact OL. To start, the literature on OI, DAs
