Shape modification of embedded nanoparticles can be achieved by means of swift heavy ion irradiation. During irradiation, the particles elongate and align with the direction of the ion beam, presumably due to nanometer-scale phase transitions induced by individual ion impacts. However, the details of this transformation are not fully understood. The shape of metal nanoparticles embedded in dielect

Background: Peripheral inflammation is an important feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, if and how CNS pathology is involved in the peripheral inflammation in PD remains to be fully investigated. Recently, the existence of meningeal lymphatics and its involvement in draining cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to the cervical lymph node has been discovered. It is known that meningeal lymphatic d

The primary purpose of our study is to get a better understanding of the employees’ experience of their job performance with the emergence of ChatGPT. This includes taking a socio-technical perspective to explore the employees’ perspective with using this technology. The study was carried out using a qualitative research method, employing an interpretative perspective and an abductive research app

The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how heteronormativity plays out in queer employees' experiences in the workplace. To broaden the discussion of genuine inclusion within organizations, we aim to critically examine the underlying norms in the workplace. The theoretical perspective of our study discusses literature on Diversity & Inclusion, heteronormativity, mic

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of an organizational culture certification. We are intending to create a deeper insight into the certification process, its outcomes and benefits in order to get an understanding of how the concept can be interpreted in a scientific manner. We further aim to challenge the current perspective of organizational culture certifications a

Klimatförändringar är ett av de mest akuta problem som världen står inför idag. De snabba klimatförändringar som sker påverkar inte bara människors mentala och fysiska hälsa, för många är flykt över internationella gränser det enda alternativet. Med hopp om en framtid där mänskliga rättigheter tillgodoses har antalet klimatflyktingar drastiskt ökat och migration har blivit en form av anpassning tiClimate change is one of the current most pressing threats to human rights. The adverse impacts of climate change affect peoples’ mental and physical health and forces many to leave their countries. With hopes of a future where basic human rights are provided for, climate induced migration has become an adaptation form for those who suffer from climate change. Climate refugees are however yet to b

The publishing landscape has undergone significant transformation in the last years facing and implementing open science policies, including principles for open access (OA). However, certain challenges have been identified in OA-publishing for different scientific fields, such as the humanities, depending on the norms and traditions for how to conduct research and how to publish. The topic of this

Tetra Pack Technical Services provides spare parts for Packaging and Processing product segments. Despite similar inventory management, the processing segment consistently has a lower spare parts service level. Understanding the reasons behind this disparity is crucial, especially with the anticipated increased growth of the Processing segment in the future. The purpose of this thesis is twofold

This thesis explores a video phenomenon called “Let’s Play”, that allows people to share their gaming experience with an online audience, for example on YouTube. Let’s Play-videos are a favorite pastime with children. Yet, the knowledge about the information in these videos is sparse. The aim of this study is to contribute with knowledge about how Swedish Let’s Play-producers on YouTube, targeting

This thesis aims to elicit different attitudes toward digital game preservation among Swedish digital game players. The questions in focus can be divided into two groups: the attitudes toward preservation of the games themselves, and the attitudes toward safeguarding the sociocultural aspects that stem from player interaction with digital games. Players are often regarded as vital in preserving di

While broad evidence has been generated on the forces leading to divergent regional industrial path development, we still do not fully understand how initial structural differences between regions are dynamically attenuated in industrial path development processes. In other words, the cumulative causation processes instigating such differences are not well explored. In this paper, a process model

This article presents experimental data sets and information about the pre-movement behaviour and specific evacuation conditions observed in 15 evacuation drills in 10 nursery schools in the Czech Republic involving 970 children (3—7 years of age) and 87 staff members. Based on the analysis of video recordings, over 1800 data points describing pre-movement times, the interpretation of warning sign

Despite new energy-efficient technologies in buildings, discrepancies between predicted and actual energy use continue to occur, mainly due to the complexity and variability of users' behaviour(s). Users' interactions with energy-efficient solutions need to be studied holistically to better understand the complexity of their behaviour. This systematic literature review was conducted to identify wh

When does the mind begin? Infant psychology is mysterious in part because we cannot remember our first months of life, nor can we directly communicate with infants. Even more speculative is the possibility of mental life prior to birth. The question of when consciousness, or subjective experience, begins in human development thus remains incompletely answered, though boundaries can be set using cu

Background: Depression and anxiety are risk factors for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the association of a previous psychiatric diagnosis of anxiety or depression, or only such self-reported symptoms, with cardiovascular outcomes and mortality post-MI has not been previously examined in the same nationwide cohort. Methods: We linked demographic, socioeconomic and clinical data

The background to this master´s thesis is a decision by the regional council in Scania, Region Skåne, to preserve all medical records forever. Through the examination of documents and interviews with people associated with the regional archives, and by using Scandinavian institutional theory and time theory, this study looks into how the decision by the regional council is understood and implement

The aim of this master’s thesis is to exhibit to what extent municipal archives in southern Sweden work with irradiation and intermediation of the historical material they possess, as well as the reasoning behind these actions. Furthermore, we also investigate whether the municipal archives’ employees experience that intermediation of the historical fonds is part of the archive’s mission. We argue
