Emotion regulation and emotional work can have both positive and negative effects. Previous studies have suggested that emotion regulation is taught through early life socialization, and that this socialization may be gendered. If this were the case, we learn to regulate our emotions differently, and for some to, for instance, be socialized into suppressing their emotions may lead to negative cons
A reliable electricity sector is imperative for the development and competitiveness of Costa Rica. During the last decade, electricity demand has been growing faster than the expansion of the power network, and the demand side efforts have been almost inexistent. Therefore, since 2007 the electricity sector of Costa Rica is in a vulnerable position. In fact, for 2014 energy shortages have been ant
Berggrunden i sydvästra Sverige består av bergarter som deformerades och metamorfoserades under den Svekonorvegiska kontinent kollisionshändelsen. Den så kallade ”Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone” norr om Vättern och Protoginzonen söder därom anses utgöra den östligaste gränsen för Svekonorvegisk omarbetning. Söder om Vättern är Protoginzonen en 20-30 km bred N-S deformationszon. FortsättniThe bedrock in the southwest of Sweden was deformed and metamorphosed during the Sveconorwegian orogeny. The Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone north of the lake Vättern and the Protogine Zone south of the lake is regarded as the eastmost boundary of Sveconorwegian reworking. South of lake Vättern the Protogine Zone is 20-30 km wide made up of a system of discrete ductile (and locally brittle
En utgrävning gjordes nyligen i övergången mellan kambrium och ordovicium i alunskifferformationen utanför Södra Sandby i Skåne. Under sökandet efter konodonter i en kalkstensbädd från understa ordovicium upptäcktes mikroskopiska sfäruler 0,1-0,5 mm i diameter. Har dessa ett biologiskt ursprung eller har de bildats genom någon rent kemisk/geologisk process? Då det finns stora likheter med rapporteMicroscopic spherules, 0.1-0.5 mm in diameter, from the lowermost Ordovician Rhabdinopora flabelliforme parabola graptolite Zone of the Alum Shale Formation in Södra Sandby, Scania, southern Sweden, have been investigated. The specimens have been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy in order to assess their affin-ity, taphonomic history, and possible relation to metazoan embryos. Diff
The 2009 Lisbon Treaty introduced the Early Warning Mechanism into the EU decision-making process. Under this mechanism, National Parliaments monitor the compliance of EU legislative proposals with the principle of subsidiarity by issuing yellow cards in cases of violation. It is argued that in doing so, they meet a collective action problem in form of an assurance problem, hence will only ineffec
Background: Today, many companies use a cost-based and sometimes competition-based pricing approach. Since academia agrees that value based pricing is superior for creating profit, the problem is not in identifying an ideal pricing strategy, but to understand and facilitate the transformation process towards value-based pricing. Only a limited amount of research has so far been put on understandin
This thesis presents findings from a study about the challenges international master’s degree students have to undergo when they decide to study at Lund University, a university situated in the South of Sweden. The study involved interviews of 7 international students from different national backgrounds. Emerging from the analysis is the perception that respondents have to face several identity ch
Sammanfattning: Ett informationssystem är i grund och botten ett sätt att lagra och bearbeta information. Alla sådana system bygger på en informationsmodell, det vill säga en modell för hur data organiseras för att de ska gå att bearbeta och omvandla till information. Idag existerar avancerade informationssystem för att göra spatiala analyser (GIS) och för att hantera byggnader (BLM-system). För n
Previous research on hydropower projects impact on people’s socio-economic development has mainly focused on relocated people, immediately after they were relocated, arguing that relocation result in underdevelopment of people´s livelihoods. Henceforth, this research contribute to the literature through including a long-term perspective to highlight immediate and long-term impacts on relocated and
Tourism can be a difficult form of travel to define. In order to make working with tourism easier, the tourism industry often uses criteria and definitions that can limit understandings of tourism. An example is an often-common view in the tourism industry of visiting friends and relative (VFR) as unimportant. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research showing why VFR can be important to the
Fildelning är ett vardagsbrott för en stor andel svenskar, trots lagstiftningen på området. Rättighetshavare har inte alltid själva möjligheterna att beivra brotten, av anledningar som främst handlar om polisväsendets bristande resurser och reglerna mot brottsprovokation. En ökad tendens att för rättighetshavarna att vända sig till privata företag som utreder fildelningsbrott märks tydligt. De priFile sharing is an everyday crime for a large number of Swedes, despite prohibiting legislation in the field. Copyright holders do not always have the possibility to prosecute the crimes for reasons primarily connected with the police’s lack of resources and the rules prohibiting entrapment. An increased tendency for right holders to turn to private companies in order to investigate file sharing c
Nowadays, very few public services could be delivered by only one department or organization. In order to deal with those "wicked" issues, like transportation, housing, environmental protection, food safety or some other problems, collaboration between departments has been a need. Meanwhile, cross-departmental collaboration has been proved to be an important means for governance, which h
Recently, the consumer interest and revenue from domestic aide robots have been rapidly increasing. A report from 2018 estimates that the global revenue from this sector will rise from $6.4 billion to nearly $23 billion by 2022, an increase by 250%. This thesis covers a concept development process defining a multi-purpose, autonomous household robot. The focus user group is consumers, and it is ai
The Amazon has always been a strategic region because of its rich variety in natural resources. Its global interest is spreading across levels and scales, influenced by the increasing demand for fossil fuels and biodiesel and the threat of climate change. Neoliberal practices continue privatizing and exploiting the Amazon´s resources regardless the Indigenous communities’ interests. These communit
Wearable security cameras has been used by police officers and other agents working within the field of security for many years. Some of these cameras are equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor that can be used to detect if something is happening to the wearer of the camera. Ideally, the recording should start automatically if the camera is affected by sudden movements, for example if
Introduktion; Studiens syfte var att undersöka unga mäns upplevelser av att söka och gå i samtalsbehandling. Metod: Studien är kvalitativ med en fenomenologisk ansats. Vi genomförde 8 semistrukturerade intervjuer , 7 valdes ut för att ingå i studien. Deltagarna var unga män, 18-27 år, som hade gått i samtalsbehandling hos en kurator. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med tematisk analyIntroduction: The aim of this study was to examine young men’s experience of seeking out and participate in therapy.

The goal and ambition of this thesis has been to investigate a topic that could lead to a possible solution to the environmental crisis we are witnesses of. Replacement of fossil fuels is an essential step towards a renewable society that needs to be taken. This thesis will investigate one of those possible solutions, production of a biofuel from a renewable source. A large amount of research with
Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi
Only 50 percent of Swedish food supply comes from domestic production, which creates a high dependency on an international trade to import foods. This leads to a high vulnerability within the food system. In order to secure food supply in times of crisis Sweden must increase its food production. According to climate research, future climate will be characterized by a higher rate of extreme weather
