Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been investigated recently in false memories and specifically in the DRM paradigm. EMDR has been shown to decrease emotionality of the problematic memories in PTSD, but also to decrease false memories. No studies have to date shown how emotion and memory is effected by EMDR in the DRM paradigm when non-emotional wordlists are coupled with a nega
As the representation of people’s identity, dress reveals people’s characteristics, social status and most importantly, how people want to be “looked like”. The same theory can be applied to film costume, which is not only a purely visual spectacle but also an important element to sustain the entire film. Film costume on one hand helps to form the concepts and images of different characters and th
This study applies brand equity theory to a higher education marketing context. The study uses the theoretical model developed by Kevin L. Keller on building customer-based brand equity and explores its application to this context. A case study research design was used to explore how four different Universities conducted international marketing activities relevant to the theoretical model. The res
Ökande oljepriser och en stigande efterfrågan gör idag undersökningar av alternativa petroleumreservoarer extra intressanta. Istället för att borra i den sedimentära berggrunden ges nu möjligheten att granska kristallina berggrundsreservoarer. Den här typen av borrning i kristallin berggrund äger rum på flera platser i världen, exempelvis i Vietnam och Yemen. Det norska företaget Lundin Norway AS Rising oil prices and an increasing global use of fossil fuels make the survey of alternative petroleum reservoirs of great importance. Instead of drilling in regular sedimentary successions, the possibility of investigating reservoirs in crystalline basement is in many places of economic interest. Reservoirs in crystalline basement rock are producing oil in several countries e.g. Vietnam and Yeme
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations have faced significant changes regarding workplace settings, primarily a shift from in-person to remote environments. The fact that remote work is generally increasing has impacted what employees experience in work and can potentially impact their job satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to learn what has changed and how to handle the change in t
This study explores the intricate dynamics and factors driving consumer engagement in online activism and boycotts, shedding light on the complex interplay between personal values, socioeconomic status, and social networks. Drawing upon and utilizing theories from other researchers, this study examines the impact of economic, social, and cultural factors that drive consumers to engage in online ac
As global energy demands rise and the need for sustainable solutions becomes more urgent, so efficient ammonia production is fundamental. Traditional methods, such as the Haber-Bosch process, are both energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. This research investigates an alternative by developing a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia, using Iron Nitrate Hexahydrat
Ever growing environmental impact due to human activities has increased efforts globally to tackle the issues by promoting sustainable behavior. Similar efforts are also being made to handle the waste and litter problem of single-use takeaway food packaging. Sweden aims to reduce the impact of takeaway food packaging by introducing a directive to reduce consumption of single-use packaging and repl
This thesis examines the integration of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from Sentinel-1 with hydraulic modelling and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance flood risk management in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden. The study focuses on the February 2020 flood event, utilizing advanced remote sensing technologies to improve flood extent mapping and disaster response. Quantitative data for
This study explores different modalities of agency that birthing women in Kosovo express when met with a high threat of obstetric violence and structural constraints. Specifically, this study identifies the strategies and tactics women employ during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum to avoid and minimise the risk of obstetric violence in public and private health settings. Moreover, this s
Lean is a concept and methodology created and developed in the automobile industry. Today it has become widely used in public service organizations in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine how the Swedish Migration Agency communicates about why and how they have adapted Lean. Furthermore, it investigates how the Swedish Migration Agency in this process try to make their organization legitim
The circular economy (CE) is argued as a possible model for dealing with value chain instabilities in global production networks. Since geographical proximity is central to unlocking circular potential, x-shoring (including concepts like reshoring, resourcing, or friendshoring) is arguably key to this process. Often, spatial restructurings of the CE are embraced without a critical examination of t
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) occurs in approximately 30% of people with highly symptomatic post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). It involves several symptoms that limit physical and psychological functions and cause reduced quality of life. Evidence for different treatments of POTS and PCC is limited, and this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of individually tailored physical e
Lymph nodes (LNs) are believed to be the first organs targeted by colorectal cancer cells detached from a primary solid tumor because of their role in draining interstitial fluids. Better detection and assessment of these organs have the potential to help clinicians in stratification and designing optimal design of oncological treatments for each patient. Whilst highly valuable for the detection o
PURPOSE: Underground diesel exhaust exposure is an occupational health risk. It is not known how recent intensified emission legislation and use of renewable fuels have reduced or altered occupational exposures. We characterized these effects on multipollutant personal exposure to diesel exhaust and underground ambient air concentrations in an underground iron ore mine.METHODS: Full-shift personal
Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationships between intake of mother's own milk (MOM), compared with intake of pasteurized donor milk (DM), and postnatal growth, incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), in extremely preterm infants.Methods:Swedish population-based cohort of surviving extremely preterm infants born 2004 to 2007. Expos
Dietary factors associated with stroke risk are still rather unknown. The aim was to examine the association between adherence to healthy dietary patterns and incidence of stroke among 25,840 individuals from the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort. Dietary data were obtained using a combination of a 7-day food record, diet questionnaire, and interview. A Swedish Dietary Guidelines Score (S
ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate whether health-promoting text messages sent to patients with hypertension in primary care could affect lifestyle habits, and if the Theory of Planned Behavior could be used to identify moderators of intervention effects.MethodsFrom September 2020 to December 2022, patients with hypertension were randomly selected from the patient register at 10 Swedish primary heal
In nine hyperthyroid women studied in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle basal plasma LH concentrations and LH and FSH responses to GnRH were increased compared to those in nine normal women. The increased gonadotropin levels could not be related to changes in body weight or plasma estradiol or serum sex hormone-binding globulin levels, and they approached normal levels during or after tr
