A Step Towards Imaging Angle Resolved Photoelectrons with X-Ray Radiation for Applications in Gas Phase

Photoionisation dynamics occurring in Ar and N2O upon the absorption of soft X-ray radiation, have been studied through the extraction of the beta parameter from the angular distributions of Ar 2p 3/2 and N2O Nt 1s photoelectrons by a means of Velocity Map Imaging Spectroscopy. The results of beta determined in the dipole approximation for N2O at different photon energies, coincided with pre-docu

Finanspolitisk åtstramning och jämviktsarbetslöshet

Denna studie analyserar sambandet mellan finanspolitisk åtstramning och jämviktsarbetslöshet utifrån historisk, teoretisk och empirisk synvinkel. Den finner att mer finanspolitisk åtstramning är signifikant korrelerad med en ökad jämviktsarbetslöshet. Fackföreningstäthet och högre arbetslöshetsersättning är också signifikant korrelerade med en högre jämviktsarbetslöshet, något som möjligen är kännThis study analyses the relationship between fiscal austerity measures and equilibrium unemployment from historical, theoretical and empirical perspectives. Greater amounts of fiscal austerity measures are found to be significantly correlated with increases in equilibrium unemployment. Trade union density and unemployment benefits are also found to relate significantly to higher rates of equilibri

Religion and Migration: Religious Practices of First Generation Turkish Immigrants in Sweden

The aim of this thesis is to explore how religious practices of the immigrants are shaped after migrating to a more secular country. As a more concrete case, I am interested in the religious practices of Turkish immigrants in Sweden. For the purposes of the study fourteen semi-structured interviews with first generation Turkish immigrants in Malmö were conducted to investigate the changes in relig

Utredning av fosfortrender i Vegeån - en skattning av fosforläckage till recipient

Fosfor är ett av de viktigaste näringsämnena och ger upphov till övergödningsproblematik i åar, sjöar och hav. Tidigare undersökningar har visat att trenden för kvävekoncentrationen i Vegeån har varit tydligt minskande men att fosforkoncentration inte visat sig vara vikande. Vegeåns Vattendragsförbund vill undersöka varför samma trend inte syns för fosfor samt kartlägga hur stor den sammanlagda be

Inhibitionsmekanismens roll i Retrieval-Induced Forgetting Påverkan av kognitiv utmattning

Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) beskriver ett minnesfenomen där framplockningen av ett visst minne i vissa fall försämrar och påverkar tillgängligheten till andra, relaterade minnen. En framträdande förklaring har presenterats inom inhibitionsteori där aktiv inhibering anses orsaka RIF, genom facilitering i framplockningen av målminnet bland konkurrerande minnen i selektiv minnesframplockning. Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) refers to a memory phenomena where retrieval of a memory in some cases can deteriorate and affect the accessibility of related memories. A prominent explanation is presented in the inhibitory theory where active inhibition is considered to cause RIF by facilitating retrieval of a target memory among competing memories in selective memory retrieval. If exertion of

Oil Price Shocks and Stock Market Returns: A study on Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.

Following the oil price shocks of the 1970s, a great deal of research has been focused on the relationship between oil price changes and macroeconomic variables. However, the body of literature focusing on oil price shocks and stock markets are more limited. In our thesis, we have decided to focus on five OECD countries: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain, commonly known as the PIIGS econo

Storytelling som vapen i ett kommunikativt maktspel

Varje dag dör människor i olika delar av världen på grund av att man inte värnar om sin sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa. Förmedling av kunskap är därför av största nödvändighet. Så även i Ryssland som utgör fallet i denna studie. Där strikt politik, religiösa grupper, och gamla värderingar hindrar spridningen av information om SRHR till folket. RAPD är den enda statliga NGO i landet som jobbar medEveryday people are facing serious consequences with their sexual and reproductive health. Dissemination of knowledge is therefore necessary. Russia is one country we have identified with this very problem. Strict politics, religious groups and old values are major obstacles that contribute to the prevention of spreading out the right information of a good SRHR to the people. RAPD is the only gove

Framing Parenthood: An Interpretive Analysis of Fertility in Brazil

Understanding the fertility transition is of extreme importance for planning public policies on national levels and on a global scale. The fertility transition has been the subject of numerous studies for the past four decades, especially in regards to the determinants of fertility. Nonetheless, in the case of Brazil the literature concentrates on quantitative and positivistic determinants, lackin

Long-term Government Bond Yields and Macroeconomic Variables

This article investigates the relationship between the economic influences a country has and how the market has observed by 10-year government bond yields through a set of macroeconomic variables. It examines a set of OECD countries between 1980 and 2013 dividing them into two groups namely the G7 group and small countries, even though the specific effect of the USA is investigated as well. The Pa

To mother or to migrate? Ideal motherhood and normative migration: Perceptions from Nicaraguan migrant mothers

Female transnational labour migrants account for half of Nicaragua’s high volume of migrants, where women partake in international seasonal migration, primarily to Costa Rica, to improve the lives of themselves and their children. The migration processes are often informal, short-term and repetitive, often with reasons related to Nicaragua’s high poverty levels and unemployment rates. Female migra

E-demokrati – Ger dialog och ökat engagemang?

Behovet av att vidmakthålla och öka demokratin finns. Informationsteknik har möjliggjort nya kommutationskanaler mellan medborgare och makthavare. Kommunikation med hjälp av hemsidor, email, e-tjänster och forum har gjort att information kan överföras på kort tid och med en stor tillgänglighet. E-demokratin ses som en väg till att få fler delaktiga och ökat inflytande i politiska beslut. Med utgån

'The Apple Must Fall Far From the Tree'. A Case Study of an Educational School Intervention in Lyari: An Urban Slum in Pakistan.

Partly attributed to the distinguishing effects of poverty on education and effects of education on poverty, the poverty and education nexus is complex. Since poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon deprivation in education, especially in urban slums, is not caused by one factor alone, but is rather stitched to various other related factors such as family structure, a high conflict neighbourhood
