Inferring emotions from other people's facial expressions is essential for interpersonal functioning, but not everyone is equally capable. Facets of trait empathy (personal distress and empathic concern) influence emotion perception into opposing directions. Whether situational empathic states are similarly influential has not yet been studied and was the focus of this paper. A 3 (induction) x

The rise in new digital technology is bringing with it new ethical questions around how we, as a society, can trust them. However, what if the question was before the technology itself? What if the role of the developers was influencing the way those new technologies were being programmed? This thesis situates itself at the point of exploration, where developers of humanoid social robots look for

Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förvalBuildings threatened by folding is an ever-increasing problem due to sea level rise. The problem is greater in the southern parts of Sweden compared to the rest of the country, where a lot of properties are at risk of being destroyed or damaged as a consequence of floods. To prepare Scania and Halland for the future, information about the sea level rise is therefore needed. This project focuses on

This essay discusses how the image of man is presented in government public investigations. In postmodern theory, society and man are shaped on the basis of how social reality is constructed. From a critical discourse perspective, the study intends to shed light on how the vision of the future society affects our notions of what a human being is. The approach has been to discuss the new emerging a

Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,

The study aimed at (a) investigated the ability of potential lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to ferment quinoa milk, and (b) formulating a method for producing fermented quinoa milk. To meet the objectives, Lactobacillus pentosus and Pediococcus pentosaceus two native bacterial strains were tested. Quinoa milk elaboration was optimized at laboratory scale by selecting an appropriate quinoa/water propor

This study examines potential similarities and differences between the interactivity in six children’s books, published in physical and digital media. The literature included in this research is the hardcover version of Hur gick det sen?, the hardcover version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaption, the mobile application Känner du Pippi Långstrump?, the mobile application Vem best

The overarching objective and purpose of this thesis is to shed light on how engagement in digital work serves as a coping strategy for Syrian refugees in different receiving countries. The stories of my participants demonstrate the multiple dimensions of this livelihood strategy, as and when they utilise it to counter structural constraints. By exercising their agency, I observe that my participa

Sammanfattning I uppsatsen har syftet med 3:12-reglerna, särskilt utomståenderegeln i 57 kap. 5§ IL, framställts och analyserats. Därjämte studien har ägnats åt att undersöka hur praxis stämmer överens med utomståenderegelns ändamål. Metoden som har tillämpats är den rättsdogmatiska metoden, vilket innebär att undersökningen genomförs med hjälp av rättskällorna så som förarbeten, författning, praAbstract The purpose of the essay is to describe and analyze the motive that was behind the 3:12 rules, especially the outsider rule, and to examine how practice is consistent with its purpose. The main starting point for the regulations in question was that the taxpayer who owns shares and works in the company should, as far as possible, receive similar taxation for capital gains or work compens

Phenolic compounds, abundant in plants, are of significant interest and are increasingly becoming a subject of intensive research due to their bioactive properties such as antioxidant activity. The objective of this study was to identify phenolic compounds present in formulated quinoa milk fermented by two probiotic bacteria strains; Lactobacillus pentosus and Pediococcus pentosaceous by HPLC and

Amiralsgatan, Rosengård, is a highway area in Malmö. It consists of segregated streets with no connection between them with limited social activities. Rosengård’s population is mainly immigrants, living in the Million Housing Program, hence low-wage living, which makes them segregated from the rest of Malmö. The aim of this project is to integrate Rosengård into the rest of Malmö by achieving a he

First of all, I would like to declare my thanks to my supervisor, Jastjit Singh, and my examiner Prof. Claus Christian Eckhardt for sharing their time with me, putting the effort into understanding my concept, supporting me, and showing their guidance in all design process. In addition, I would like to thank my classmates who put effort to understand my design, brought beneficial discussions, an

Produktion av stödprotein för vidare strukturbestämning av jonkanal Vi människor precis som alla andra levande organismer består av pyttesmå celler. Dessa celler har ett membran, ett hölje som avdelar cellens inre miljö från dess yttre. Celler behöver kunna utbyta ämnen och kommunicera med sin omgivning och därför finns proteiner i membranet som fyller denna funktion, nämligen membranproteiner. AMembrane proteins are important building blocks for several biochemical processes. The difficulty with membrane proteins is that they tend to be lowly expressed and can be difficult to manage. Therefore, membrane proteins are studied to a lesser extent than soluble proteins. Since membrane proteins are intrinsically hydrophobic, their purification and structural determination critically rely on so

Kan vi bygga nytt av gammalt? För att den byggda miljön ska kunna möta en växande befolkning behöver byggsektorn ta tillvara på de resurser som redan cirkulerar i samhället. För att genomföra detta krävs det en omställning från linjär till cirkulär ekonomi, vars huvudsyfte är att återanvända och återvinna material och produkter. Byggsektorn står för ca en tredjedel av det avfall som uppkommer årA linear consumption model has long operated in several social structures, which is often referred to as the “take-make-waste” model and does not take into account the physical limit of resources. This has become a growing problem, not least in the construction sector as they use more resources and produce more waste than any other industrial sector. An alternative to the linear consumption model

Havrerester, en win-win-situation? Tänk om man både kunde förbättra människors hälsa och samtidigt göra en insats för miljön? Genom att bearbeta havrerester som fås ur havreproduktionen kan det vara möjligt! Havreresterna har ett högt fiberinnehåll som skulle kunna gynna de goda bakterierna i våra tarmar. De goda bakterierna i våra tarmar, också kända som probiotika, har visat sig ha en positiInsoluble oat bran fibres, with substantial arabinoxylan (AX) content, are obtained as a byproduct from industrial processing of oat. By further processing it is possible to solubilise and hydrolyse AX into (arabino)xylo-oligosaccharides ((A)XOS). (A)XOS derived from other crops have shown to have prebiotic potential by stimulation of probiotic bacteria (Falck et al., 2013). In this study the e

This thesis work is on the theoretical description of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) that are non-uniform, meaning that more than one single-particle state is occupied. This phenomenon is usually called quantum depletion. A common model for the ground state of a dilute and weakly interacting BEC is the mean-field (MF) approximation leading to the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. However, fo

I mitt projekt tittar jag på arkitektanvändning bland privatpersoner och undersöker om det går att skapa ett alternativt sätt att nå ut till en grupp som idag inte anlitar arkitekthjälp vid hemrenoveringar. Något som kändes extra aktuellt nu då renoveringstakten bland privatpersoner ökat och vi blivit allt mer begränsade till våra hem. För att få en bättre bild av tankar och beteenden kring hemren

JavaDL is a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing static program analyses in a declarative logic programming style, based on Datalog. The key feature of this DSL is the ability to pattern-match on literal source code syntax and reason non-locally through declarative programming. Static program analyses generally suer from producing false positive alarms. This results in developers having to

To maintain stability in the Swedish electricity grid, Svenska kraftnät must be able to predict future electricity production and consumption. Earlier this have been done by using historical data. Now the complexity of the system has increased, because the growing amount of electricity from non­dispatchable sources as well as the impact of climate change. Thus using only historical data will give
