The essay used Barry Zimmerman’s theory about self-regulation. The empirical part of this essay consis
Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur fyra jazzsaxofonister övar utan sitt instrument. Studiens fokus är den typ av övning utan instrument som kan relateras till begrepp som mental övning och visualisering. För att se hur informanterna övar utan saxofonen måste denna typ av övning relateras till deras övning med saxofonen, därav studiens titel och forskningsområde.

Kassarna sprids med vinden, informationen ligger i lä Vad får dig att återanvända en plastpåse, eller att avstå helt och hållet? Enligt nya krav måste matbutiken, klädesbutiken - ja till och med den lokala pizzerian - berätta för dig varför plastpåsarna är dåliga för miljön. Allt i syftet att få dig att tänka en extra gång innan du tackar ja till en plastpåse. Om några år är det tänkt att ja tackPlastic carrier bags are one of the most frequently littered objects. They tend to accumulate in the oceans, posing a threat to marine organisms and birds which mistake them for food. To tackle this environmental issue, the EU has decided to reduce the consumption of plastic carrier bags through an amending directive.

In this bachelor thesis, we have analyzed gender, gender roles and sexuality in children’s literature. We have used five of the most read children’s books from the city library in Lund, of the age category six to nine, to do a qualitative literary analysis. By using the theoretical concept of gender and sexuality and by being inspired by Nikolajeva, a professor in children’s literature, we have th
The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a
Ett existerande problem idag är att personer inte använder tillräckligt säkra lösenord för att kunna värja sig mot olika attacker. Denna studie undersöker hur anställdas tidigare kunskap och utbildning inom lösenordssäkerhet påverkar deras faktiska kunskap och hur de applicerar denna kunskap när de väljer lösenord. Protection Motivation Theory och Social Cognitive Theory appliceras i denna studie.
The energy sector in the world today is in the middle of a huge challenge regarding grid development and power production. Whilst a significant part of the world's population are struggling without access to electricity, the more developed part of the world is trying to replace existing energy sources into renewable ones, and are also facing the challenge of an aging grid which is in desperate
The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige
This thesis explores the audience’s reactions in regards to the phenomenon of norm-breaking ads in Sweden, focusing on the representation of immigrant minorities in advertisements. The aim is to understand if, how, and why, these ads engage audiences online and offline, at a time where public interest in institutionalized politics is on the decrease.

This thesis will be concerned with one of the main concerns and highly discussed topics in the relationship between Article 102 TFEU and Intellectual Property Rights. Predominately, it will focus on the enforcement of IPR(s) as an abusive practise of dominance and whether a dominant undertaking has the ability to protect its IPR by refusing to licence its IPR to a third party. The main purpose wi
Previous research suggests that by examining the regional origins of revenues and the expected economic growth in regions, supra-normal returns may be achieved by creating zero investment portfolios. Nevertheless, such previous research examines countries with low export dependence and a high internal demand or uses data from a number of countries with di↵erent economic dependencies. The purpose o
Ultraljudsvågor används i många olika tillämpningar, t.ex. som sonar i vatten och för fosterdiagnostik. De kan också användas för att göra mätningar på olika material för att bestämma materialets tjocklek eller ljudets hastighet i materialet. Ultraljudsvågorna produceras och detekteras med hjälp av piezoelektriska element, t.ex. polyvinylidenflourid (PVDF)-film eller så kallade PZT-element (blyzirUltrasonic waves are widely used in different application e.g. for sonar scanning in water and fetal imaging. Furthermore it is used for doing measurements on different materials to determine the thickness of the material or the velocity of sound inside it. The ultrasonic waves are produced and detected by using piezoelectric elements based on e.g. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-film or Lead Zirco

Artificiella neuronnät är ett samlingsnamn för maskininlärningsmetoder som försöker efterlikna biologiska system i sin struktur. Ett neuronnät förbereds, med så kallad träning, för till exempel mönsterigenkänning, genom att man presenterar exempel på den typ av data man vill identifiera. Inom ett visst intervall uppdateras nätverkets inre struktur, med målet att utsignal anpassas till den signal sThe subject of deep learning has become increasingly popular, especially for machine learning applications where a large number of input variables have to be processed. However, there are instances of problem solving, where a full understanding of the variables is of high importance. When dealing with data sets containing a large number of input variables, the established methods of feature select
I Sverige slänger vi idag ca. 1,2 miljoner ton mat per år. Detta matsvinn är inte bara ekonomiskt belastande utan leder också till ett onödigt utnyttjande av naturresurser vilket i sin tur påverkar miljön negativt. Det är djurproduktionen som står för 15 % av världens totala växthusgasutsläpp och nötkreatur är en av de största bovarna till denna destruktiva miljöpåverkan. Naturvårdsverkets för
