Denna uppsats ämnade att undersöka relationen mellan de oberoende variablerna öppenhet, extraversion, tro på att lyckas i ett prekognitivt test och den beroende variabeln prekognition, som mättes genom ett forced-choice prekognitivt test vid namn Selfield. Sextio deltagare rekryterades och slutförde totalt 2 381 omgångar. Personlighetsdrag mättes med den svenska versionen av Big Five Inventory (BFThis thesis aimed to explore the relation between openness to experience, extraversion, belief in succeeding in a precognitive task, and precognition, measured with the forced-choice precognitive task the Selfield. Sixty participants were recruited and completed a total of 2,381 trials. Personality traits were measured using the Swedish version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and belief in succeed

Utländska investerares egendom skyddas av internationell investeringsrätt, inom vilken systemet för internationella skiljeförfaranden mellan investerare och stater (internationella investeringstvister) har utvecklats. Baserat på investeringsavtal mellan stater, eller nationell lagstiftning, har investerare rätt att väcka talan om de anser att staten har underlåtit att fullgöra sina skyldigheter geForeign investors’ property is protected under international investment law, under which the system of investor-state arbitration has developed. Based on investment treaties between states, or national legislation, investors are granted the right to arbitrate if they believe that the state has failed to fulfill its obligations towards them. Under the current legal framework, investors are allowed

Oil in water (o/w) emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems composed of small oil droplets dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase. This means that given enough time, the two phases will separate. Pharmaceutical emulsions are used as a method of administering the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for topical applications. The API for this project will be dissolved in the aqueous phase

This thesis investigated the effectiveness of development interventions in reducing people's vulnerability to criminal engagement within the low-income communities of Khlong Toei, situated in Bangkok, Thailand. Guided by three primary research inquiries, the study explored (1) the underlying circumstances affecting the vulnerability of residents to affiliate with crime, (2) the evolution of th

Intrusive memories are a chief complaint after trauma exposure and a hallmark symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder. Using a well-established trauma-film paradigm, the present study sought to investigate the role of inhibitory control ability and emotional distress as predictors of memory intrusion frequency. A nonclinical sample was recruited for participation in a trauma analogue exposure exp

In 2018, the European Union (EU) adopted a revised version of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED 2). The directive introduced new objectives for the EU’s renewable energy sector and aimed to support the provision of renewable energy in the EU. After its adoption, the directive would be implemented in each EU member state. This thesis analyzes Sweden’s implementation of the RED 2 and applies a the

In recent years, Swedish communication agencies have increasingly emphasized the value of insight-driven communication for strategic processes. Advocates argue that this methodology enhances creative potential, more accurate target audiences, and improves various organizational functions. Despite some attention in strategic communication research on topics such as data-driven approaches and the st

This master’s thesis explores a Waste-to-Energy solution for Kigali, specifically focusing on the Mpazi Rehousing Project. Kigali faces challenges with Solid Waste Management (SWM) despite its reputation for cleanliness and efficient urban planning. It aims to transform biowaste into biogas, contributing to sustainable urban development and reducing waste at Nduba landfill. The research addresses

Background: Asthma, a prevalent chronic lung disease, affecting millions worldwide, is characterised by airway inflammation and increased smooth muscle mass and constriction, leading to the narrowing of the airway walls. Recent biologics have emerged as promising treatments for asthma. This study focuses on Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, which has been shown to improve airway h

This paper analyzes the corporate rebranding efforts of Google to Alphabet and Facebook to Meta, examining the motivations behind these shifts, the changes in brand architecture and the impact on stakeholders. The authors use the Corporate Brand Identity Matrix and Stakeholder Theory to assess the rebranding's effects on investors, employees, consumers, and policymakers. The paper concludes th

E-scooter sharing systems (ESS) have rapidly gained popularity since their introduction in the U.S. in 2017, promoting sustainable urban mobility and offering a new solution to transport systems challenges. However, research on ESS usage in relation to the built environment, particularly in European contexts, is limited, and comparative studies between urban areas of different sizes are not readil

Grass pollen allergens, including Phl p 5 from Phleum pratense, are major triggers of seasonal allergic rhinitis, primarily mediated by IgE antibodies. This study investigates the genetic basis and functional characteristics of IgG1 antibodies targeting Phl p 5, possibly derived from type 2 memory B cells predisposed to IgE switching. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we analyzed variants of a high

In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters. I

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the ongoing refugee ‘crisis’ in the EU, arguing that the EU’s approach towards the refugee issue largely speaks for the establishment of a new phase of migration in Europe. As opposed to the previous phase in the aftermath of the Cold War where a common European refugee policy was evident, today, each of the Union’s member-states seems to emphasize on i

Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 20

Abstract This study examines if extramural English (EE) has a positive effect on L2 vocabulary acquisition of young Swedish L2 learners (N = 24) of English (age 8-10). It examines the correlation between the amount of time spent on EE and scores on the Picture Vocabulary Size Test (PVST), which measures receptive vocabulary knowledge. Since earlier research on older Swedish L2 learners of English

This thesis will contribute to the transition the development sector presently sees itself confronted with. This transition involves the pivoting from project-based development endeavors, whereby frameworks and targets defined in the Global North play a dominant role in defining the overall development trajectory. It will engage with the question how development organizations can effectively struc

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic was accompanied by wide-ranging mis- and disinformation appearing largely on online platforms like social networking sites. The World Health Organization and the European Union urged citizens to be critical of sources and evaluate the information they were receiving about the pandemic. Since the promotion of information literacy relies upon the concept of source evaluati

What does it take to be a working mother in developing societies? How do working mothers navigate the dynamics of work and home? These questions evoke a critical issue that invites more scholarly attention to understand the lived experiences of women entering formal labour markets in developing countries. Using qualitative interviews and thematic analysis, the study examines how middle-class worki
