It has been argued that cognitive biases are the source of a range of problems in modern society, from stereotype formation to belief in pseudoscience. One of those biases causes people to perceive causal relationships between unrelated events and is known as illusion of causality. Scientists are pointing to the importance of strategies to debias people on a global scale. However, research on effe

Juice homogenization is mostly done to create smaller fiber particles, which reduces the sedimentation velocity to a lower level. So far, fruit juice concentrate is diluted to juice before it is homogenized. The first aim of this research paper is a feasibility study regarding the homogenization of fruit juice concentrate before it is diluted to juice. That would save capacity and energy. Secondl

Uppsatsen har granskat svenska myndigheters möjligheter att omedelbart tvångsomhänderta barn med hjälp av LVU. Detta har undersökts i relation till barn som har och inte har sin hemvist i Sverige samt i relation till barn vars hemvist inte kan fastställas. Både Bryssel II-förordningen och LVU har an-vänts för att redovisa gällande regler kring fastställande av barnets hemvist samt förutsättningar The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Swedish regulations regarding immediate care taking of children, especially regarding children whose place of residence is in another EU-country. The Brussels II regulation ap- plies to decisions to take into care and place a child. Article 8 Brussels II regulation states that the courts of a Member State are to have jurisdiction in matters of parental

Female dominated work remains significantly disadvantaged in comparison to male dominated ocucpations statistically. What remains unclear is what this looks like in practice, how this is felt by the individuals conducting the work and what this reflects about female-dominated work. In this light this thesis explores the nature of female-dominated occuaptions through nursing to understand where thi

The Criminal Code describes rape as an obvious involuntarily. It has been proven to be a problem in the Swedish judiciary to suggest that rape victims often receive degrading questions and a censure treatment. This study has focused on how the encounter between the police and rape victims is like. The purpose of it was to get a picture of how both police and victims are experiencing the encounter.

Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol

Authors: Elin Nordin and Ida Gustavsson Title: To defeat the invincible – a salutogenic content analysis of superkids’ upbringing Supervisor: Torbjörn Hjort Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze three so called superkids’ upbringing with the assistance from a salutogenesis perspective. We intend to research what factors the children express a

In the light of a world-wide shortage of helium-3 (3He) a development of novel neutron detector systems (NDS) is necessary. This requires mathematical descriptions of the neutron scattering process in thin films. In this bachelor thesis our aim is to make a probabilistic model of the scattering of a single neutron travelling through a thin film, with main focus on the first scatter occurrence. The

Introduction. This article presents the first results from the LibPrepare research project, which explores how the democratic mission of public libraries is understood, imagined and potentially compromised in times of crisis and war rhetoric. The aim is to gain knowledge of the mechanisms, motives and potential implications of enrolling libraries in Swedish national security policy.Method. A themaIntroduction.

The loading of terrestrially derived macroelements, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (N), and total phosphorus (P), to inland and estuarine waters is increasing in the northern hemisphere. Thesemacroelements often limit heterotrophic bacterioplankton metabolism (production and respiration), which in turn influence food web structures, exchange of greenhouse gases between the

With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), debates on governance through goal-setting and performance review have gained momentum. In this article, we explore how the politics of performance review played out in public sustainable development reporting at the global-national nexus.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an established method to assess the various environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a building. The goal of this project was to calculate the environmental releases for a whole office building and investigate the contribution in terms of environmental impact for different parts of the building, as well as the impact from different stages of the life c

To improve the performance and efficiency of Al containing III-Nitride-based devices, a number of issues must be addressed, especially the presence and generation of dislocations and other structural defects. The main sources of the dislocations are growth on non-native substrates and heteroepitaxial growth of lattice-mismatched layers. We demonstrate the ability to completely avoid structural def
