I studien undersöktes associativ språkinlärning via Virtual Reality (VR) och jämfördes sedan med en mer traditionell ordinlärning via en datorskärm, för att se om det förekom någon skillnad i inlärningen mellan dessa. Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om inlärning av ett nytt språk gynnas av associativ inlärning med flera av våra sinnen genom VR. Vår hypotes var att språkinlärning kan gynThe study examined associative language learning through Virtual Reality (VR) and then compared it to more traditional word learning through a computer screen, in order to see if there was any difference in learning between these two. Purpose. The aim of this study to investigate whether learning a new language benefits from associative learning, with several of our senses, through VR. Our hypoth

The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of how community-based water management approaches facilitate sustainable and collective action (SCA) in the context of increasing water insecurity in Costa Rica. Applying a qualitative approach, based on fieldwork in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, including semi-structured interviews and a digital community survey, the study uncovers facilitating fac

Galektiner är proteiner som finns i människor och i de flesta andra djur. De binder till kolhydrater, särskilt de som innehåller galaktos och förekommer naturligt på cellernas yta och omgivning. Galektinernas interaktion med kolhydrater gör att de spelar stor roll i en rad olika biologiska processer, bland annat kommunikation mellan celler, celldöd och celltillväxt. Idag finns 15 olika identifieraGalectins are small soluble proteins that bind to carbohydrates. They have a high affinity for glycoconjugates containing galactose that exist naturally on the surface of cells and in the extracellular surroundings. This allows them to be involved in many different physiological and pathological process in the human body. Galectin-3, that is the focus in this report, works proinflammatory which no

Ridanläggningar är både arealkrävande och påverkande på sin omgivning ändock är det inte helt självklart huruvida dessa anläggningar kräver bygglov eller ej. Likväl är begreppen idrottsplats och idrottsanläggning inte heller helt självklara vad de innebär och speciellt inte i förhållande till en ridanläggning, det vill säga under vilken av definitionerna som en ridanläggning platsar. Syftet med deKnowing whether a riding facility requires a building permit or not is not always straightforward. Neither is it easy to understand how a riding facility compares to a sports field or sports facility. The aim of this thesis is therefore to define the differences between the definitions and understand how the duty of permit is affected by the definition of the riding facility. It is also investigat

In addition to examining teachers’ attitudes, the study investigated when teachers feel it is beneficial to use Swedish and why in these specific situations. Five upper secondary English teachers participated in the study. The study was conducted by observing

Although the police are meant to serve and protect its citizens, recent reports show that an alarming number of police officers in Sweden have been subjected to accusations of committing unauthorized registry searches.

In the following case study, we have investigated how the fast fashion brand NA-KD uses discount codes as a marketing tool on Instagram with the help of influencers and what this in turn means for our consumption of fashion and clothing. In order to answer our research questions and gain a better understanding of this type of marketing, a qualitative content analysis was applied to two different v

Utvärdering av sensorers noggrannhet och repeterbarhet i packningsförsedda plattvärmeväxlare. Som en del av Alfa Lavals digitaliseringsprocess erbjuds nu kunder möjligheten att koppla upp sina värmeväxlare med sensorer. Informationen som samlas in gör det möjligt för kunderna att undvika oplanerade reparationer, öka deras processers drifttid och därmed minska kostnader och risk. Om värmeväxlarna Alfa Laval has connected sensors to their gasketed plate heat exchangers (gphe) to extend their customer service offering. To develop this service further the flow through the GPHE is needed. In this thesis, the objective was to evaluate an inexpensive flow switch and two sensor kits that measure pressure and temperature. The sensors were assessed by installing them on GPHEs in Alfa Laval’s lab an

Ehlers-Danlos syndrom (EDS) är en grupp ärftliga sjukdomar som påverkar kroppens bindväv. Sjukdomen kan yttra sig på många olika sätt och de vanligaste symtomen är töjbar hud, överrör- liga leder och kronisk smärta. Patienter med EDS upplever ofta misstro i mötet med den skånska sjukvården. År 2022 startades en specialistenhet vid Skånes universitetssjukhus (SUS) för att säkra vården för denna patIntroduction: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary diseases that affect the body’s connective tissue. It presents with many different symptoms, the most common being stretchy skin, hypermobility and chronic pain. EDS-patients often experience mistrust and disbelief in their encounters with healthcare personnel. A specialized healthcare unit was established at Skåne University Hosp

This thesis aims to unveil existing differences when it comes to the placement of the City Archive within the structural frames of the Swedish municipal governance. Neo- institutionalism and Scandinavian institutionalism have been applied, with the perspective of Terry Cook’s ideas about archival paradigms in archival science, with a focus on outreaching activities. Swedish local governance re

The research found that there were three main problems with the current alarm systems. The primary issue was an abundan

This thesis provides a comprehensive study of profinite groups, which are fascinating mathematical objects that have attracted significant interest in modern algebraic research. Profinite groups are infinite generalizations of finite groups and share many similarities with them. They are endowed with a topology that makes them compact and totally disconnected, which is the foundation from which we

We are facing a continuous increase in humanitarian crises. All humanitarian emergencies affect People in Need differently. The wish for a more inclusive picture of the affected people suitable for humanitarian response is becoming more significant. The concept of intersectionality, in the sense of Crenshaw, promises to add precisely this perspective to humanitarian response. With the help of meth

This paper examines the impact of trade openness on the gender wage gap in urban China after China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Using data from the 2002 and 2013 China Household Income Project (CHIP), this paper uses OLS regression and instrumental variable regression, to analyze the relationship between trade openness and the gender wage gap. The findings are consistent with the neoclassic
