This study investigates if cognitively induced load via the Sternberg Task influences episodic memory measured through eye metrics data. An eye-tracking experiment was conducted with 34 participants to research if memory will decline when cognitive load increases. The method was a block design, controlled experiment.

Climate change is posing a threat to the whole world. In some places, prolonged droughts cause problems whereas extreme rainfall causes problems elsewhere. Rotterdam faces increasing threats from the North Sea because of rising sea levels. The areas that are not protected by dikes are the most vulnerable and will be the first to flood. This project focuses on an unprotected area of Rotterdam whic

This thesis was aimed to explore the occurrence and antecedents to two types of citizenship behaviors, Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and Office Housework (OH), within a Swedish energy company.

I takt med klimatförändringarna förväntas mer extrema nederbörd komma oftare och med en högre intensitet. De system som ska ta hand om allt regnvatten är inte dimensionerade för sådana skyfall, vilket kommer leda till att de svämmar över. Dessa förändrade förutsättningar gör att planeringen och byggandet för urbana miljöer blir viktigare än någonsin. Vattenhanteringsstrategier i landskapet och ru

Adverbial uppträder, i modern svenska, i huvudsak i två positioner i satsen: postverbalt (sist i satsen) eller medialt (före det finita verbet i bisatser och efter det finita verbet men före ex. infinita verb i huvudsatser). VP-adverbial sägs ha sin naturliga position postverbalt, men de kan också placeras medialt. Denna uppsats undersöker faktorer som inverkar på placeringen av VP-adverbial i modIn Swedish, adverbials mainly occur in two positions in the clause: postverbally (last in the clause) or medially (before the finite verb in subordinate clauses and after the finite verb but before e.g. infinite verbs in main clauses). VP adverbials are said to have their natural position postverbally, but they can also be placed medially. This thesis examines factors that influence the placement

Coastal areas are undergoing significant socio-ecological changes which intensify the control, extraction, and contestation over coastal resources. These changes have severe justice implications for those strongly dependent on coastal resources, including small-scale aquaculture (SSA) farmers. Yet, research on injustices faced by SSA farmers remains limited. By using a case study approach focused

The increase in stride time variability (STV) in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been shown to precede further cognitive decline. It is not fully understood to what extent these changes in STV can benefit from physical exercise, if intensity of exercise matters and if a positive effect on STV could also benefit cognition.

Sexual satisfaction has been found to be closely connected to the overall life satisfaction of individuals, making it a public health issue. Most of the previous research has focused on physiological factors related to sexual satisfaction. However, evidence suggests that psychological factors are at play, and can act as protective factors against the decline in sexual satisfaction. This thesis wil
