Syftet med denna undersökning var att studera hur TikTok användande (TTA) påverkar det visuella arbetsminnet (VAM) jämfört med övrig sociala medier användande (SMA). VAM lagrar tillfälligt visuell och spatial information, och ligger underordnat i hjärnans uppmärksamhetskontrollsystem. Ingen tidigare forskning finns på den effekt som TTA har på kognitiva funktioner. Tidigare forskning gällande SMA The aim of this study was to examine if Tik Tok has an effect on visual working memory (VWM) compared to other social media usage (SMU). The VWM temporarily stores visual and spatial information, and works with the attention system. No previous research has been done on the effect TikTok usage (TTU) has on cognitive functions. Previous research around SMU and VWM is slim and shows mixed results. H

Wireless power transfer is emerging into everyday life. The idea is to create a more convenient way of charging, or at least powering, devices. Ideally, all power transmitters and power-receiving devices should be interoperable so that the user does not need to investigate whether a specific power transmitter will work together with a specific device. Interoperability is what the standard Qi, inve

Syftet med denna studie är just att ta reda på vad individer tycker om arbetstidsförkortning med bibehållen lön utifrån ett generationellt perspekt
