Investigating Interference, and Context Presentation in Episodic Memory Through Behavioural and Pupillometry Studies.

This research aims to examine the effects of interference and context presentation during the retrieval of encoded information which was encoded in a dynamic context. To examine this, we conducted two experiments where there was a presentation of information where half of the overall encoded information shared a constituent with information that was encoded in another context. The remaining half o

“The challenge is probably just to understand what it is...” Constructing sustainable development as a wicked problem in an educational context.

Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort

Social dokumentation i arbete på gruppbostad - En kvalitativ studie pm medarbetares upplevelse av dokumentationsarbetet inom LSS

Delaktighet och inflytande i mitt liv är ledorden i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS-lagen). 1994 trädde lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) i kraft. Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade är en pluslag, med det menas att den individ som har stöd i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade får inskränka på de rät

The Patterns of Use of Private Digital Primary Healthcare and Its Implications to Region Skåne

The research aims to investigate and identify private digital primary healthcare usage patterns, introduced in Sweden in early 2016. The research has been limited to LUSEM bachelor students and its financial implications for the region of Skåne. The research takes a quantitative approach by using an online survey. Further, the study aims to provide insights into the region’s finances and incentivi

Circularity indicators in practice: Exploring companies’ application and linkages to sustainability

The Circular Economy (CE) has gained global recognition as a way to enable sustainability improvements in production and consumption systems. Numerous circularity indicators (c-indicators) have been developed by academia and practitioners to be used at the company level as analytical tools to measure progress towards a more circular economy. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical evidence on t

Luxury textile brands and plant-based vegan leather: A qualitative study on Swedish millennials’ perceptions towards the image of luxury textile brands traditionally reliant on animal leather that are offering plant-based vegan leather textile items

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of how Swedish millennials perceive the image of luxury textile brands that have always relied on animal leather and now are introducing plant-based vegan leather textiles. Methodology/Empirical data: The study is based on the foundation of social constructionism philosophy. A qualitative research design is followed in the present stud

Assessment of intracellular pH and fermentation profile in xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains using ratiometric sensors

The production of ethanol from second-generation feedstock like lignocellulose is limited by efficient growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on xylose. One of the reasons for that might be a lower ATP formation vs. proton formation flux in cells using the xylose reductase (XR)/xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) pathway compared to glucose as ideal substrate. The therefore reduced availability of ATP, as ATP

Investigation of Analog Calibration Systems for Spurious Tone Suppression in Frequency Triplers

The market for Wi-Fi receiver designs for latest Wi-Fi standards, that cover RF bands in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum, require increasingly stringent power consumption limitations as more of the market is driven towards battery-powered devices. In order to meet those needs, it is crucial to explore different ways of reducing power consumption in various receiver blocks. One such power con

Reshoring in the Fashion Industry – An Actual Trend or Industry Window Dressing?

The research aims to determine whether there is a trend of reshoring among major fashion conglomerates and whether supply chain resilience and sustainable manufacturing may contribute to understanding this trend. The study takes a quantitative approach, using a combination of inference statistics and descriptive statistics. To uncover patterns in the manufacturing locations of these conglomerates,

Keeping Up with the Transition: Sex for Compensation and Women with Asylum and Transgender Experiences in Sweden

This thesis focuses on the practice of sex for compensation performed by women with transgender and asylum experiences living in Sweden. It aims to explore the complexities of sex for compensation by positioning this practice as both strategy and a tactic for obtaining income used for gender affirmation, considering that gender-affirmative healthcare is not available for asylum seekers in Sweden.

Fog detection using an artificial neural network

This project studies a method of image-based fog detection directly from a camera without using the transmissometer. Fog can be detected using transmissometers which could be a very costly approach. This thesis presents an image-based approach for fog detection using Artificial Neural networks. A neural network model will be used to classify images either into two classes, whether it contains fo

r/Detrans - Berättelser om kvinnliga detransitioners erfarenheter av stigma i återidentifieringsprocessen på forumet Reddit

I denna uppsats görs en netnografisk studie på forumet Reddit och hur kvinnliga detransitioners, personer som tidigare identifierat sig som transmän använder forumet för att interagera med varandra samt hur stigma kan förstås i deras upplevelser och erfarenheter i processen av återidentifiering till de kön som de tilldelats vid födseln. Detransitioners är ett relativt nytt och outforskat fenomen,

The Swedish tax rules for electricity production in breach of EU tax law

This thesis examines the way in which Sweden opted to set up its taxation on the supply of energy from renewable sources and whether they are in line with EU tax law. Windmills in Sweden are granted a lower-rate tax than other sources of renewable energy production, which is stated to be within the scope of the de minimis Regulation. Firstly, the thesis starts by examining what State aid is, looki

Reklamidentifiering och medverkansansvar vid marknadsföring på sociala medier

Internetanvändning och sociala medier har under de senaste åren exploderat, var på reklamvärlden har stått inför en förändring. Sociala medier har blivit en plats full av tips och inspiration, men också en arbetsplats för influerare som gör reklam för diverse produkter och tjänster.

Impact of Implementing CCS Technology on a Biomass Power Plant

This study examines the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, specifically the monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method, in a biomass power plant. The aim is to assess the energy requirements and optimize the solvent processes to improve the overall efficiency of the carbon capture process. The use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) is pro

Investigation of Ion Extraction Anomalies at TwinEBIS

The electron beam ion source REXEBIS at CERN-ISOLDE delivers highly-charged ra- dioactive ions for post-acceleration in the HIE-ISOLDE LINAC. Research and develop- ment of components for electron beam ion sources is carried out at the TwinEBIS test stand, currently equipped with a Brillouin electron gun called MEDeGUN. Excessive ion extraction losses have been reported at TwinEBIS during commissio

“Det är ju helt sjukt att säga, du är inte tjock, fattar du inte det?” En kvalitativ litteraturstudie om tjockhet i kroppspositivistisk ungdomslitteratur

Kroppen är något vi alla behöver förhålla oss till. Dock är förhållningssätten till kroppen ofta problematiska, särskilt för unga kvinnor. Det är svårt att undkomma alla de budskap om hur våra kroppar bör se ut, och vetskapen att samhället präglas av en slankhetsnorm är det få som undgår. Även litteraturen har en viktig betydelse för att förmedla budskap om kroppen samt om förhållningssätt till de
