When the coronavirus spread globally in early 2020, many governments issued national lock downs of schools, institutions, and businesses. As the epidemic turned into a pandemic, the health crisis also became a societal crisis, and many universities and research foundations issued COVID-19 grants to study the societal implications of the crisis. In this article, we discuss sociological research dur
This article reports the result of a survey designed to investigate the degree of uncertainty by which a representative sample of Swedish households hold their perceptions and expectations of inflation. The public displays hardly any uncertainty concerning the direction of change of the price level as measured by the ratio of ‘don’t know’ answers.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling diskuteras olika aspekter av kärnreaktioner inducerade med tunga atomkärnor. En beskrivning av de experiment, detektorer och metoder som har använts återfinns tillsammans med en utförlig redogörelse av analysarbetet. De resultat som presenteras är baserade på dels experimentella data men även från simuleringar och teoretiska beräkningar. AvhandlingenThis thesis presents the research performed within two different research groups using heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions. They offer the opportunity to investigate different properties of nuclear matter. The results are based on measurements using a variety of different experimental techniques. The PHENIX experiment measured the production of deuteron and anti-deuterons at mid-rapidity in gold-
This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi
This experimental study investigates how individual variation in cognitive functioning, specifically working memory, previous experience with language learning but also language background, influence language aptitude, in particular grammatical inferencing - the capacity to spot patterns in grammar - as measured by the LLAMA_F test. Firstly, the study explores individual factors hypothesised to in
Fraktaler är mängder som har detaljer på varje skala. För många sådana mängder är mått som area och längd inte tillräckligt som en beskrivning av storlek. Ta exempelvis den inverterade Koch-kurvan. Kurvan skapas genom att vi tar bort mittdelen av varje sidlängd i omkretesen av en triangel och byter ut den med de andra två sidorna av en liksidig triangel baserat på denna mittdel. Upprepar vi dennaThe purpose of this thesis is to cover the definition and basic properties of the Hausdorff measure and treat the proofs of Davies and Cordoba of the Kakeya conjecture in R^2. The conjecture states that any compact set in R^2 containing a line in every direction has Hausdorff dimension 2. Using mainly basic measure theory we construct the Hausdorff measure and develop relevant theorems, such as Ma

Hur ser det då ut på vår arbetsplats? Vi ser i vår lokala statistik att fram till ung
Popular Abstract in Swedish Atomkärnan består av protoner och neutroner, gemensamt kallade nukleoner, vilka hålls samman via den starka kärnkraften. Denna är emellertid inte den enda aktiva kraften i atomkärnan, utan även Coulomb växelverkan mellan de positivt elektriskt laddade protonerna är närvarande. I frånvaro av Coulomb växelverkan skulle protonens och neutronens egenskaper vara väldigt likaHigh-spin states in the A=35 mirror nuclei 35Ar and 35Cl and A=51 mirror nuclei 51Fe and 51Mn were populated using fusion-evaporation reactions. The gamma rays were detected in the powerful Ge arrays Gammasphere and GASP, respectively, which operated in conjunction with ancillary detectors for evaporated particles. The resulting mirror energy difference diagrams of the two mirror pairs are interp
The aim was to study long-term effects on motor skills and school performance of increased physical education (PE). All pupils born 1990-1992 from one school were included in a longitudinal study over nine years. An intervention group (n = 129) achieved daily PE (5 × 45 min/week) and if needed one extra lesson of adapted motor training. The control group (n = 91) had PE two lessons/week. Motor ski
This article discusses problems concerning the use of colour in botanical illustrations, focusing on a specific species, the Orchis ustulata (Burnt Orchid). In 1901–1905 the Swedish botanist Carl Lindman (1856–1928) was responsible for the publication of the Swedish flora Bilder ur Nordens flora, that was, in some ways, a reworking of J. W. Palmstruch’s Svensk botanik (1802–1843).

Housing first has been introduced as a new method in the field of social work, aimed at homelessness in Sweden. The conventional way of tackling homelessness has made it difficult for people in homelessness to access and retain housing. In the hands of the social services, housing programs, has developed into becoming a tool of control and surveillance. As a new approach to the issue of homelessne
The aim of this essay is to explain which conditions may lay behind the emergence of the political consumer, focusing on globalization, individualism and the increase of consumerism as a result of the rise of global political issues such as climate change. Thereafter, the portrayal of this transition will be investigated in Swedish media by comparing debate articles considering environmental and c
The partly autobiographical book Valley of Issa, written by Czeslaw Milosz describes (among other things) the childhood of a boy, Tomasz who is the main character, and his interactions with his relatives. In this essay I will claim that these characters possess startlingly obvious autistic traits, and in relation with this I raise and discuss another question: Does the author Milosz himself expres
This thesis answers questions of what it is that constitutes a struggle enclosing the conflict between Ungdomshuset and the municipality of Copenhagen during the years of 2006-2008 and what this struggle produces in terms of different stories and different futures. The purpose is to create a link between a poststructuralist critique and a critical theoretical strategy as the thesis argues that suc
The number of people escaping from wars and conflicts to European welfare states is increasing. Many of them are children; some come as unaccompanied minors (UMs), fleeing without parents or any other responsible family member, entering and living in the country of refuge on their own. The “United Nations” (UN) and its “Convention on the Rights of the Child” from 1989 secures them special protecti
This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A
