The occurrence of autistic traits measured by the social responsiveness scale, SRS, in a Swedish clinical sample of children age 8-12 diagnosed with ADHD was analyzed and found significantly elevated in comparison with a demographically similar control group. 28 children 4 girls and 24 boys diagnosed with ADHD were included in the ADHD group. 25 children 4 girls and 21 boys acted as controls. A me
The objective of thesis was to do an analysis of the current situation of Vattenfall´s “Gewerbekunden”. The “Gewerbekunden” are small-to-medium enterprises that consume up to 100 000 kWh/year. Since the deregulation and liberalization of the energy market conditions have changed. New actors entered the market and the competition increased distinctly. All the energy suppliers were focusing on the p
Syftet med den här uppsatsen har sitt ursprung i den intressekonflikt som råder mellan upprätthållandet av den Europeiska unionens (EU) konkurrensregler, å ena sidan, och företagens klagomål över att deras mänskliga rättigheter kränkts, å andra sidan. Närmare bestämt handlar det om att väga effektiviteten av den Europeiska kommissionens befogenheter att undersöka företag enligt artiklarna 18 och 2The aim of this thesis originates from the existing conflict of interests between the enforcement of European Union (EU) competition law and the companies’ human rights grievances. The former is concerned with the effective functioning of the European Commission’s powers to investigate companies under Articles 18 and 20 of Regulation 1/2003. The latter addresses the rights of defense of the compan

Purpose: Based on a job seekers perspective, the purpose of this study is to explore influences of status and social identity upon perceived employer attractiveness as a product of the job seekers interactions within the interview process and her social informal network. Methodology: Based on a social constructionist stance we have conducted an exploratory qualitative study Theoretical Perspective
The Office du Niger is the most important rice production area in Mali. It plays an important role in ensuring food security for the country‟s rapidly growing population. In order for the Office du Niger rice sector to keep supplying consumers with sufficient amounts of rice, an efficient market channel (i.e. the chain through which the rice must pass from producer to final consumer) is needed. I
The very recent catastrophe in Fukushima Japan has led to new incentives for promoting electricity generation through renewable energies in Germany. In this article the economic implications of those incentives for one German federal state, namely Mecklenburg – Western Pomerania, are highlighted. By `diving´ into this region and by applying several different forecasting methods as well as question
På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att byggaThe Mekong River catchment on the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia is currently one of the world’s most active regions in terms of hydropower planning and development. In recent decades China has launched a hydropower plan comprising eight large dams on the main stream river in the upper part of the catchment. Three dams have already been built and now also the countries in the lower basin,
This study looks at nationalism in China since the 1980s. It attempts to examine whether nationalism is increasing by investigating whether an increase is reflected in the arts, in particular Chinese cinema. The logic behind this is that if nationalism is a politicisation of arts, tradition and culture then an increase in nationalism should be reflected in arts, tradition and culture. The topic of
The purpose of this thesis was to study about the implication of Mandarin language in creating unity among ethnic Chinese in Malaysia. The research was carried out by exploring the role of Chinese school in order to produce an analytical overview of language and unity in Malaysian Chinese context. The identity issue was also being analyzed to find out how Mandarin language helps to create Chinese
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kortfattat kan en dator beskrivas som en räknemaskin; i en dator är enheten som utför beräkningarna processorn. I en kvantdator är det enskilda atomer som är ansvariga för beräkningarna. På atomnivå, mikrokosmos, råder andra lagar än i makrokosmos. Dessa lagar sammanfattas i vad som kallas för kvantmekanik. Ett kvantmekaniskt fenomen som utnyttjas i en kvantdatorAn approach to the construction of high-frequency radiocircuits for ex- tending coherence-times in the Rare-Earth quantum computation scheme is presented, along with results from computer simulation of the radiofre- quency circuit using a program called QUCS. The results were experi- mentally verified and showed good correspondence with theory and sim- ulations. Problems to take into consideration
The c-Myc and MYCN oncogenes strongly induce cell proliferation. Although a limited series of cell cycle genes were found to be induced by the myc transcription factors, it is still unclear how they mediate the proliferative phenotype. We therefore analysed a neuroblastoma cell line with inducible MYCN expression. We found that all members of the minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM2 - 7) and M
A new frontier of discrete-line gamma-ray spectroscopy at ultrahigh spin has been opened in the rare-earth nuclei Er-157,Er-158. Four rotational structures, displaying high moments of inertia, have been identified, which extend up to spin similar to 65h and bypass the band-terminating states in these nuclei which occur at similar to 45h. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations suggest that these s
Previous life-cycle studies of buildings tended to omit the phases after demolition. If recycling is not included, the potential benefits of recycling are not possible to assess. A parametric study of a one family house is presented which focuses on the potential energy savings by recycling the various building materials after demolition. The results indicate that it can be more important to desig
Retinitis pigmentosa is a blinding disease in which unknown mechanisms cause the degeneration of retinal photoreceptors. The retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse is a relevant model for this condition, since it carries a mutation also found in some forms of retinitis pigmentosa. To understand the degenerative process in the rd1 mouse, we must identify the survival and apoptosis-related signaling pathw
The current study evaluates the factor structure of the Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R) in eight countries: Australia, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States (N = 2,606). Confirmatory factor analysis is used to compare two different models of the DS-R and to investigate the invariance of the factor structure of the DS-R across countries and gender. A three-facto
Information about forest biodiversity has so far been collected mostly by using field inventories, but it is desirable to find other methods that can cover large areas at a lower cost. In a forest landscape covering 2000 ha in southern Sweden we tested if colour-infrared (CIR) aerial photographs on the scale of 1:30000 can be used to interpret forest stand characteristics correlated to the occurre
