Phosphor thermometry is a semi-invasive measurement technique which is commonly used for temperature determination in combustion applications. Surface temperature measurements using thermographic phosphors rely on the assumption that the phosphor layer is thin enough in order to adopt the surface temperature non-intrusively. This work compares the temperature information, recorded from two opposin

The Public Health Agency of Sweden are reporting negative statistics regarding the mental health of the LGBTQ-community. The Swedish National Agency for Education has therefore tasked all Swedish teachers and schools to implement a more inclusive way of processing questions regarding the LGBTQ-community in their ways of educating. The aim of this study is therefore to scrutinize teachers' own

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the modernization of payment services affects support-assistance staff from the understanding of independence in the everyday life of people with disabilities.T

Utforskning av äggstockscancers proteiner med ett nytt proteinbibliotek Just nu finns det ingen forskning som kartlagt vilka fosforylerade proteiner som finns hos äggstockscancer-celler. Dessa proteiner är intressanta eftersom de kan berätta för oss vilka signaleringar som går fel i cellerna. Detta kan användas för att hitta nya proteiner som antingen kan attackeras för att bekämpa cancern, ellerOvarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl

This thesis aims to test the effect of changing gender roles on fertility. Previous literature has suggested that moving towards gender equality in the household sphere can increase fertility. I test whether a more equal division of housework or gender-egalitarian attitudes affect fertility. Two country groups are analysed that are at different levels regarding fertility and female labour force pa

The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad. The study is a replication of the previous study Advertising “like a girl”: Toward a better understanding of “femvertising” and its effects presented by Åkestam, Rosengren and Dahlé

Motivation: Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins found in a cell, tissue or organism. In the last few years, and thanks to the development of mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, proteomics has led the research in several fields, ranging from medicine to agriculture. In order to reconstruct the amino acid sequence de novo protein sequencing can be used. It uses the protein’s mo

Method: The material consists of the survey responses from Nordic participants in COST Action IS1406 (2019), a project that aimed to investigate how professionals in Europe wo

In Sweden, household preparedness is central to crisis management, but local, comprehensive data on it is largely lacking. Additionally, in academia, there is uncertainty around the correlations between actual (AHP) and perceived household preparedness (PHP). This study aims to address both these issues through the exploration of a more comprehensive framework to assess household preparedness. The

Seaweed along the Swedish coast contains both proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and could be part of the food supply of the future. It could also be described as climate smart as seaweed does not need to be watered, fertilized, or take up land for cultivation. One of the problems with the intention of consuming the seaweed is its potentially high content of heavy metals. This work has focused

With the advancement of artificial intelligence, customers and users in general have been more used to having a virtual assistance method for service-related tasks. However, in the shopping centre industry, the self-help solutions mostly follow the traditional pattern of having a conciérge or a totem where you can look for the location of a particular store. This thesis aims to look at this with a

Moral injury occurs when a social worker experiences the ethical dilemma of judging that there is a morally correct course of action but perceives that they are prevented from following it. Repeated moral injury can result in the compound phenomenon of moral distress. In Swedish welfare benefit processing, social workers make decisions based on laws, workplace directives and guidelines, as well as

Aggression är ett utåtagerande beteende som orsakar skada och lidande världen över. Disinhibition antas spela en central roll i alla former av utåtagerande beteenden. Studier på aggression har funnit ett samband mellan empati och aggression men inga tidigare studier har undersökt om empati modererar sambandet mellan disinhibition och aggression. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka relationen Aggression is an externalizing behaviour that causes harm and suffering across the globe. Disinhibition is believed to play a central role in all forms of externalizing behaviours. Studies on aggression have found a link between empathy and aggression, however to our knowledge no previous studies have investigated whether empathy moderates the link between disinhibition and aggression. The purpose

Stora sektorsövergripande samverkansprojekt har blivit på modet vad gäller att komma tillrätta med ökad segregation inom svenska förorter. För att åstadkomma långsiktig systemförändring förespråkas en omvandling från projektbaserade arbetssätt till strategisk samverkan där förortssituationen möts i hela sin komplexitet. Dessa så kallade wicked problems, som karakteriseras av problemställningar utaCross sector collaborations with multiple stakeholders are on the rise when it comes to dealing with segregation in Swedish suburbs. To achieve long-term systemic change, project-based interventions are slowly giving way to joint initiatives of a more strategic character, which target the situation of the suburbs in all of their complexity. These so-called wicked problems, characterized by problem

Översvämningar och vattenföroreningar är kopplade till försummelse av vattenhantering vid hastig urban utveckling. Om tre decennier förväntas 66% av jordens befolkning bo i städer. Hur löser vi detta? Idag bor nästan hälften av jordens befolkning i städer – en siffra som förväntas öka till mer än fem miljarder personer fram till 2030. Urbanisering anses ha stor positiv påverkan på ekonomisk tillvDue to internal conflicts and an economical conversion in the mid 1900’s, the Colombian society has seen a great social transition from rural to urbanised in the last 50 years. Apart from positive impacts of urbanisation on social factors, there are hydrological issues coupled to it. With the aim to assess the impact of urbanisation on runoff peak flows in Bogota, the historical change in impervio
