Can the story of Joseph be read as a death and resurrection story? In Genesis 37:12 – 35, there is a vast amount of words, environments, and occurrences, which suggests that deadly horrors await. From the beginning to the end, of this thesis elected episodes, 32 death motifs can be argued for, cistern, Sheol, murderous assault, balsamic goods and being sold as a slave, to mention a few. The amount
Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur hållbarhet kan kan främjas och utvecklas i kombination med Lean och dess metoder av ständiga förbättringar. Det empiriska materialet som samlats in och presenteras i studien har gjorts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer av individer som arbetar med Lean och/eller hållbarhet i olika verksamheter, men främst inom transportbranschen. Hållbarhet syftar i denna s
When critical scholars coming from different academic disciplines, such as sociology, gender studies, or Black studies, meet and discuss today, discussions sometimes take the form of whether recognition of particular identities or redistribution of material resources is of most importance. In this thesis, my aim is to explore resources that could contribute to moving beyond this framing of the que
The following paper is a socio-anthropological study of the anti-feminist and victim-blaming rhetoric that characterizes debates about cases related to gender-based violence on Russian-speaking Internet platforms. The study approaches the topic with two main questions in mind, namely: what are the common arguments of victim-blaming on Russian-speaking Internet platforms? How does the anti-feminist
In today’s modern society, communication online is used for several reasons where social media platforms take more space and time in the daily lifestyle of many. The photos sharing mobile application Instagram was created in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Since then it has steadily growing and is today owned by Facebook (Lagorio-Chafkin, 2012). In July 2018 it was reported that the networ
Assuming normal distribution within cell populations has long been status quo in cellular research. With the fast development of techniques, numerous examples of heterogeneites within isogenic cultures have been unveiled, demonstrating the need of single cell analysis. Currently there are many widely used techniques for this, such as single cell RNA-sequencing, FACS and CyTOF, allowing high-trough
This study aimed at examining the potential relations of parental involvement onto parents, namely the procurement of parent anxiety. A middle school in an area of middle to low socio-economic level was approached to conduct the survey and a hundred and fifteen (N = 115) participants completed questionnaires regarding their levels of parental anxiety and parental involvement, measured here as an a
This study evaluates the possibility of charging large capacitors to high voltages within short time frames. The system is designed to charge a capacitor of 4 mF from 0 to 850 V in one second by connecting a 24 V lead acid car battery to a flyback converter. Simulation has shown that this is possible using as little as four transistors as long as proper cooling is provided. The charge sequence cou
Asthma exacerbation is among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) are of interest because they represent not only a physical barrier against infections, but also a biological barrier between the inhaled agents, such as allergens, and the immune system. As known, systemic inflammation of the lungs, or dietary factors could have effects on lung disease wor
Partikelfysikens standardmodell är en av de mest exakta modellerna inom fysiken. Den beskriver interaktionerna mellan fundamentala partiklar som kvarkar och leptoner, hur Higgspartikeln ger massa till andra partiklar och tre av universums fyra fundamentala krafter: elektromagnetism, svag växelverkan och stark kärnkraft. Tyvärr finns det frågor som inte ens standardmodellen kan svara på. "VarfProbing the physical regions in large parameter spaces of typical Standard Model (SM) extensions can be a very difficult computational task. In this thesis project, a new framework has been developed that utilises well-known Machine Learning (ML) techniques in the form of neural networks trained by a genetic algorithm. This framework is rather generic and designed to explore new physics model para
Forskningen om användning av psykedeliska substanser för behandling av olika psykologiska problem som beroende, behandlingsresistent depression och dödsångest tycks indikera att användning av psykedelika under rätt omständigheter kan ha positiva resultat för mental hälsa. Forskningen antyder också att de potentiellt positiva resultaten för mental hälsa inte kan reduceras till endast farmakologiskaResearch on using psychedelic substances for treating various psychological problems such as addiction, treatment resistant depression and death agony seem to indicate that under the right circumstances the use of psychedelics could have positive outcomes on mental health. Studies also suggest that the potentially positive outcomes on mental health cannot be reduced to pharmacological effects alon
Quantum error correction will be integral in developing full scale quantum computers, but as of yet beneficial quantum error correction has not been demonstrated experimentally. An important question is therefore what prerequisites need to be met to achieve this. Results of density matrix simulations of the performance of the seven qubit Steane code in a quantum computing setting are presented. Th
Sound ranging is a method to locate sources of sound waves using microphones or other types of receivers at known reference positions. Nowadays, these receivers can be made both very small and powerful, lasting for a long time on a single battery charge, making them suitable for longtime outdoor purposes such as detecting artillery fire or other loud sounds. In this master thesis, we present a sou
Diversity is an important part of the health of our planet’s ecosystems and processes. Anthropogenic factors like urbanization and agriculture have altered the landscape and in turn had a negative effect on diversity. Efforts to maintain and preserve diversity for long term ecological strength, have led to more holistic approaches by handling many types of diversity under the same field of “landsc
Cellodling är ett viktigt verktyg för forskning om neurologiska sjukdomar, men traditionella metoder där celler odlas på glasytor har många brister och forskare söker därför efter nya typer av substrat. I detta examensarbete har vi undersökt hur nanofibrer kan användas som substrat för odling av hjärnstamceller. Vår studie visar att nanofibrer fungerar som substrat, men att mer forskning behövs föNovel biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds have emerged over the last decades, and are promising for applications in regenerative therapies, as well as in in vitro disease modelling and drug testing. Thanks to their added dimension, these scaffolds are able to more accurately mimic the topography of native cellular microenvironments compared to traditionally used two-dimensional culture substrat
Uppsatsen klargör svenska arbetsgivares anpassningsskyldighet och hur långt den sträcker sig. Uppsatsen undersöker även om det finns en liknande skyldighet i Norge och Danmark och sedan görs en jämförelse mellan de olika länderna. Skyldigheten att anpassa arbetet i en situation där en individ har en funktionsnedsättning är lika i de skandinaviska länderna. Detta beror bland annat på att länderna h
This project started with an exploration of how logistics that is created by design could be re-imagined, leaving some material of an product to be sourced by the user locally. Saving weight and space during transportation, but also to generate another kind of user participation and knowledge With this in mind, a collaboration with IKEA was initiated with the end goal to do a product for their sh
