This study investigated whether integrative encoding in an associative inference paradigm (AIP) using naturalisitc narrative videos to present the stimuli, comes at cost of memory specificity by testing source- and details-memory of the presented videos and measuring electroencephalography (EEG). Based on earlier work (e.g. Carpenter et al., 2017), it was expected that integrative encoding in the
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising bio-based chemical that may serve as a green alternative to polyethylene terephthalate as a raw material in manufacturing plastics. A novel method to produce FDCA from the oxidation of 2-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) using resting cells of Gluconobacter oxydans was tested in this project. The different subspecies of G. oxydans including DSM 2
This qualitative study is based on interviews with seven Afghan refugees in Sweden, and the aim is to shed light on their experiences and perspectives regarding their integration journey in Sweden. To clarify, the focus of the study is to gain knowledge on the significant factors and barriers related to the integration process. Thereby it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the integrati
As a result of the global battle against climate change and thereby the new, green EU objectives, the Commission has finally published its revised draft Guidelines on Horizontal co-operation agreements. The Guidelines now include a Chapter dedicated to sustainability agreements. This Thesis aims at clarifying on how environmental aspects can be taken into account in the competition law assessment
This thesis explores the ways in which Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ individuals living in Sweden navigate their sense of belonging. The interview-based approach focuses on the narratives and lived experiences of self-identified Middle Eastern queers and their feelings of attachment in relation to ethnic and queer communities in Sweden as well as Swedish society. The findings show that the sense of belong
Anxiety disorders are some of the most prevalent disorders in modern times and often seriously impact the daily lives of sufferers. Although there is an abundance of research investigating potential links between anxiety and threat response, there is a lack of study into the nuanced relationships between different anxiety types and threat types. In addition, there are considerable limitations to m
One of the first results in classical computability theory was establishing the undecidability of the halting problem. In this thesis we will prove an even stronger version in the internal logic of the effective topos; more precisely in its full subcategory \(Mod(\mathcal{K}_1)\) of modest sets internal to assemblies \(Ass(\mathcal{K}_1)\). We will do this by proving that the diagonal halting set
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i de styrdokument som reglerar utbildningen för nyanlända elever i Sverige och i den autonoma regionen Andalusien i Spanien. Det svenska styrdokumentet utgörs av de allmänna råd som Skolverket publicerade 2016 och det spanska dokumentet är en lagtext som reglerar undervisningen för nyanlända från 2007. Studien är en komp
Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for
With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products. In the furniture industry, this approach towards circularity is coupled with consumers being asked to transport the EOL/EOU furniture to second-hand/ret
Om en part har tillräckligt starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att fullfölja sina avtalsförpliktelser och begå ett avtalsbrott vill den drabbade parten naturligtvis skydda sig från att drabbas av brottet. Den drabbade parten kan skydda sig mot ett s.k. befarat avtalsbrott genom att utöva stoppningsrätten eller hävningsrätten. Stoppningsrätten regleras i 61 § KöpL och innebär att den drIf a party suspects the other party will not fulfill a substantial part of his obligations according to the contract this would mean that they are breaching the terms of their contract. This means that the affected party can protect itself against a breach of contract, “anticipatory breach”, under contractual law by exercising the rights of suspension or cancellation (stoppningsrätten or hävningsr
Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) pose severe threats to global health. The microbial profile of the respiratory tract largely impacts their ecological niche. Epidemiological studies indicate that nasopharyngeal colonization of commensals like Corynebacterium spp is associated with reduced rates of RTIs, but the underlying mechanisms are undefined. Besides, most pathogens like Streptococcus pneu
The goal of this thesis was to, from several randomly selected patients with diagnosed malignant and benign tumors, record optimal lambdas and respective Renyi entropies for each lambda, run a basic statistical analysis of the results and see if there is any significant difference between lambdas/Renyi entropies of malignant and benign lesions.\\ The results showed no significant difference.\\ The
This paper legally tests federated learning as a machine learning technique, which guarantees a high level of privacy. This paper provides answers to all legal aspects of this technical development as the first legal paper in this area, while challenging vague GDPR requirements. This method showed its supremacy over conventional anonymization techniques and other machine learning techniques. It mi
Privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar har ökat de senaste åren i Sverige. Detta trots att Sverige har en offentlig vård som ska ge en vård på lika villkor för hela befolkningen. Vilka faktorer kan påverkar en sådan ökningen av privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar och eventuella underliggande anledningen finns det till att anskaffa en sådan försäkring. Studien syftar till att diskutera motiven till detta köp med
Differentiated instruction is a widely known approach used in different educational settings, especially in diverse classrooms. Teachers are expected to be able to meet the need of all learners and differentiate instructional parameters such as content, process and product accordingly. While previous research has shown that a successful implementation of the concept is beneficial for the students,
Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. The use of daylight as passive solar energy in Sweden could reduce the energy
