The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the importance of environmental influence on childrens' musical interests and factors inspiring children to play instruments and sing. The parents' opinions, regarding the extent of the effect of the environmen
Denna examensrapport har kommit till som resultat av en varumärkesanalys av bioteknikföretaget Novozymes nya varumärke "Rethink Tomorrow". Syftet med studien har varit att komma fram till hur jag ska presentera varumärket samt den nya produktionen på dotterbolaget Novozymes Biopharma Sweden AB i en stillbildsfilm. Utöver varumärkesanalysen har jag även gjort en kvalitativ enkätstudie där
This thesis investigates the Designated Operational Entities (DOEs) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. The DOEs serves as independent third-party auditors with the task of validating, verifying and certifying projects under the CDM. The majority of the DOEs are private entities. This is in line with the CDM objective of including the private sector in the climate ch
Förflyttningshjälpmedel kan skapa svårigheter att ta sig fram i den fysiska miljön, vilket kallas tillgänglighetsproblem. Användbarhetsproblem kan också uppstå, som innebär att personen inte kan göra det han eller hon vill i den fysiska miljön. Lek och rekreation är viktiga aktiviteter för barn. Syftet med denna studie var att få förståelse för vilka platser barn som använder förflyttningshjälpmed
This thesis is an attempt to discuss the proposals to improve the statuses and rights of the legally resident third country nationals living in the European Union. As denizens, third country nationals have full civil and social rights but they do not have any political rights. This is believed to denote an anomaly, which can be corrected through the grant of political rights. However, political ri
Offentliga verksamheter genomgår ständigt olika typer av omorganisationer. Sedan 1950-talet har Sveriges förvaltning präglats av omväxlande mer centraliserad styrelseform eller mer decentraliserad styrelseform. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur regeringar, genom tiderna, argumenterat för omorganisationer av offentliga verksamheter. Förvaltningen är av en särskild karaktär och skall ta hänsyn
Fördomar vid rekrytering utgör ett stort problem för utlandsfödda personer i Sverige (Bromé m fl, 1996; Integrationsverket, 2006). För att undersöka namnets (utländskt vs. svenskt) betydelse för hur en arbetssökande (kompetent vs. inkompetent) uppfattas fick 116 studenter bedöma fiktiva CV:n. Hälften av försökspersonerna gjorde sina skattningar under omständigheter där jämställdhet betonades och h
LevMacinstrumentet är ett analysinstrument under utveckling som utnyttjar leviterade droppar på 100 nl ? 2 ?l. Genom att använda leviterade droppar med den omgivande atmosfären som enda kontaktyta, undviker LevMac?en de vanligaste problemen associerade med miniatyrisering av analytiska tekniker, t.ex. kontaminering av provet genom desorption från provbehållaren eller andra gränsytor, adsorption av
Utvecklingen av elrullstolar har öppnat upp mängder av möjligheter för personer med funktionshinder som påverkar deras förflyttningsförmåga. Hjälpmedel kan underlätta för en person att vara delaktig i meningsfulla aktiviteter. Genom delaktighet skapar vi relationer och hittar mål och mening med livet. Delaktighet förändras med åldern. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur elrullstolsanvändare u
The Ordovician Period includes two major macroevolutionary events: the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) and the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME), alongside a fundamental climate transition from a greenhouse to an icehouse state. Although both biological events occurred during relatively short-term global cooling conditions, their starkly contrasting biotic responses remain po
PURPOSE: Provision of adequate support is much needed to secure equal educational opportunities for students with developmental language disorder (DLD). Important perspectives on support provision and its impact on academic progress are held by school professionals, caregivers, and students with DLD. This study sought to further the current knowledge on the perceived relation between educational s
This paper introduces a novel dataset that serves as a prototype of what we call the ‘Job Ads Database’ (JADB). The underlying job advertisements are gathered from the Swedish digitalized newspaper corpus hosted by and made accessible through the Swedish National Library (Kungliga Biblioteket). JADB enables studying how the frequency and content of job advertisements change over time and sheds new
Background and purpose: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) requires high positional accuracy to safely deliver large doses. This study evaluated an integrated surface- and image-guided radiotherapy (SGRT-IGRT) system by analysing (1) the agreement between thermo-optical and stereoscopic X-ray positioning, and (2) the impact of intra-fractional workflows on treatment accuracy and time. Materials and m
We show exponential lower bounds on resolution proof length for pigeonhole principle (PHP) formulas and perfect matching formulas over highly unbalanced, sparse expander graphs, thus answering the challenge to establish strong lower bounds in the regime between balanced constant-degree expanders as in [Ben-Sasson and Wigderson’01] and highly unbalanced, dense graphs as in [Raz’04] and [Razborov’03
Background: Technetium-99 m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy is commonly used in the evaluation of children with urinary tract infections. Pyelonephritis and post-pyelonephritic scarring manifest as renal cortical defects on DMSA renal scintigraphy, including DMSA Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging. SPECT image quality can be degraded by blurring r
Blood biomarkers have emerged as accurate tools for detecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic methods such as imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Yet, the logistics surrounding venipuncture for blood collection, although considerably simpler than the acquisition of imaging and CSF, require precise processing and st
Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is a substantial European Union (EU) investment into cancer prevention and treatment. Integration of genetic services towards personalised cancer prevention and care is a flagship of this plan. Genetic counselling is critical to this integration, facilitating informed patient decision making and improved clinical management. However, growing demands for genetic testing
We explore mission assignment and task offloading in Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN)-enabled intelligent transportation systems (ITS), where autonomous vehicles utilize mobile edge computing for efficient processing. Existing studies often overlook mission dependencies and offloading costs, leading to suboptimal decisions. To address this, we formulate a novel optimization problem that integr
Cu-based ternary catalysts often outperform their binary counterparts in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Unraveling the underlying synergistic effects among multiple components remains challenging and requires comprehensive operando characterization. In this study, we present a detailed investigation into the synergistic Cu−Zn−Zr interactions in inverse ZnZrOx/Cu catalysts, which show strong
