Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. Defective functioning in GABA:ergic interneurons has been linked to undesired desynchronous firing in neural signals as a consequence of these interneurons firing too infrequently or not at

IKEA Industry has ambitious goals for increasing energy efficiency at the production sites. Energy monitoring systems are therefore an important tool towards fulfilling those goals. The purpose of this master thesis is to get an overview and map the current situation at the production sites. Furthermore, the aim is to give recommendations and produce methods that can help organise the energy work.

Många barn i Sverige tillbringar en stor del av sina dagar på förskola där många av deras sociala erfarenheter och utveckling äger rum. Kognitiv social inlärningsteori förespråkar att barnet lär sig genom att imitera och härma vuxna och utifrån detta skapa kognitiva scheman som används för att tolka omvärlden. Barnen härmar de vuxnas beteende, vilket gör att pedagoger på en förskola besitter en vi

Syftet med denna studie är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur aktivitetsbaserade kontor påverkar identitetsaspekter för anställda under övergångsperioden. För att kunna uppnå detta syfte behöver vi skapa en bild av hur människor uppfattar aktivitetsbaserade kontor under övergångsperioden och hur identitetsaspekter kan vara en viktig del under denna period. Studien har en tolkande och abduktiv ansatsThe purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding for how an activity-based office affects mainly identity factors of employees during the transition period. To be able to reach this purpose we need to comprehend how people perceive activity-based offices during the transition period as well as how identity aspects could be an important factor during this period.

Studiens syfte var att observera och beskriva hur fotbollstränare i en förening i södra Skåne agerar gentemot spelare i ett flicklag och pojklag. Utefter detta utformades studien samt uppsatsen. Vi använde oss av en öppen observation som design och ett observationsschema som instrument. Observationsschemat inspirerades av något äldre, tidigare forskning (Young, 1980; Andreasson, 2007; Fundberg, 20The study’s purpose was to observe and describe how football coaches in a club in southern Skåne acted towards players in a girls team and a boys team. The study and the paper was designed according to this purpose. We used an open observation as design and an observing schedule as an instrument. The observation schedule was inspired by older, previous research (Young, 1980; Andreasson, 2007; Fund

Owing to structural factors of climate change and population growth, the past decade has witnessed high interest among migrant and settler pastoralist groups in the vegetal-rich customary lands of the Agogo Traditional Area. This has resulted in lease grants of large land areas to pastoralists by traditional authorities and usufruct families, for reasons of ensuring optimum use and gaining the hig

Syfte. Att undersöka om hörapparaten har en positiv inverkan på balanskontrollen hos vuxna över 40 år med sensorineural hörselnedsättning. Även den subjektiva upplevelsen av hörsel och balans granskades. Metod. 15 deltagare över 40 år med sensorineural hörselnedsättning inkluderades i studien. Posturografi, vHIT samt audiogram utfördes. Posturografin testades i olika villkor som bestod av med/utan

The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of an educational intervention’s impact on the development of strategic thinking. To get a better understanding, this study examined the impact of the one-year Master’s programme International Strategic Management (ISM) and a metacognitive awareness module, on business students’ ability to think strategically.

Climate change, poverty, inequality and the increase of strict regulations - these are just a few of the factors contributing to the rise of sustainability in today’s corporate environment. As society and the worldwide population are affected by these omnipresent changes, it becomes inevitable for companies to transform their business models in order to respond to demands concerning sustainability

The construction sector is one of the biggest contributors to global CO2 emissions and buildings account for a significant part of the energy use in Sweden. Population growth in combination with economic development is putting more pressure on the environment, resulting in escalating consumption trends and larger quantities of raw material extraction. Policies and directives are promoting a circul

A confocal microscope is built to examine molecular powders, and in particular the (PhSn)_4S_6 cluster, that emits white light when irradiated with infrared laser light. The confocal microscope operating at long working distances is assembled and characterized. The components of the setup are first chosen according to requirements of the planned experiment. Thereafter, the microscope is assembled

Det här arbetet ger en enkel introduktion till teorin för så kallade Lie-grupper (uppkallade efter den norske matematikern Sophus Lie), som är en slags matematiska objekt som befinner sig i gränslandet mellan två av matematikens huvudområden: geometri och algebra. Å ena sidan kan Lie-grupper betraktas som släta mångfalder, vilket betyder att de är kurvor, ytor eller högre-dimensionella analoger In this work, we present some of the basic concepts and constructions in the theory of matrix Lie groups. For each matrix Lie group, we use the matrix exponential to construct a Lie algebra, and we then use the matrix exponential to show how different properties of the Lie group affect the Lie algebra and vice versa. In particular, we use the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula to prove a one-to-one
