Amyloid beta (Aβ) proteins are a group of proteins able to form fibrillar aggregates that are linked to the adverse neurological effects seen in Alzheimer’s disease [11]. The molecular mechanisms that lead to the Aβ aggregation are complex processes, and efforts to understand them are being made by investigating the kinetics and thermodynamic properties of the protein. The solubility of the protei
The global food industry is the second main contributor to climate change whilst climate change also poses threats to future food security (Ritchie & Roser, 2020). One of the suggestions to decrease the environmental footprint of consumption and increase the resilience of food systems, is the shift to local production and consumption (Stein & Santini, 2021; Van Gameren et al., 2015). Howev
This thesis investigates the implementation of the digital euro, focusing on university students' trust and awareness in the Benelux region. The study addresses a gap in the existing literature by exploring perceptions among students in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Through a quantitative survey of 390 respondents, the research examines if awareness of the digital euro predicts tru
This bachelor thesis is based on interviews with six young feminists within the Church of Sweden, and aims to discuss how a combination of feminism and Christian faith is made possible. I am investigating if these women experience personal inner conflicts between feminist values and a Christian faith and then how these women think of and manage these conflicts, and also if they have experiences ba
The purpose of this study was to examine the subjective experience of schizophrenia. Four people, two of them diagnosed with schizophrenia and two relatives, were interviewed. The themes selected were development of the disease, recovery, belief in the future, the role of families and siblings, stigmatization and the relationship between violent crimes and mental illness. The development and exper
There is a long history of avian studies investigating the impacts of urbanization. While differences in several life-history traits have been documented, either between urban and rural populations or across generalized urbanization gradients, a detailed understanding of which specific environmental variables cause these phenotypic differences is still lacking. Here, we quantified several local en
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to examine how students studying to become physiotherapists use the library’s website at the Medical Faculty at Lund University. We wanted to investigate whether the students were satisfied or not satisfied with the website’s structure and navigation and we also wanted to know how the students used the website and how well the website responded to the information
The EU aims to be a circular economy by 2050, which is the driving force behind this master thesis. Circular transformation is one possible strategy to handle the climate crisis and achieve sustainable development. A circular economy is a system that aims to keep the value of products, materials, and resources in use as long as possible while minimising waste generation (Svenskt Näringsliv, 202
This thesis examines the interactions and role-changings between the LGBTQIA+ community and the creative industries in Guangzhou, China. Following Florida’s (2003) creative capital theory, and Badgett, Waaldijk, and Rodgers’s (2019) study on LGBT inclusion and economic development, involving semi-structured interviews with LGBTQIA+ individuals working or studying in the creative industries. This q
After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict. As this also coincided with a rise of mass communications and increased education more people than e
This research paper focuses on historical, arithmetic equity market risk premium in emerging and frontier markets. Equity market risk premium, as we know it today, has been easily estimated in developed markets; whereas, emerging and frontier markets often require different approaches to determine an appropriate equity market risk premium. I make use of a variety of methods, including volatility a
Abstract: This paper is a work about provoked redundancies, redundancies that has been made by the employee himself, but is comparable to a termination made by the employer. In order to investigate the concept of provoked dismissal, also called forced dismissal and be able to make conclusions about when a termination by the employee is considered forced by the employer, the author has studied the
