Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p

To compete on the global market many companies need to undergo fundamental organizational changes. However, many companies fail to make successful transformations. To identify the factors that contribute to a successful transformation, some researchers have focused on a micro perspective and investigated employees’ characteristics and attitudes (e.g., organizational commitment, readiness for chang

This thesis looks into the spatial concentration of Swedish manufacturing industries between 1920 and 1950, particularly focusing on whether the tendency to do so was more prominent among innovative industries then their less innovative counterparts. The spatial concentration of the most, the average and the least innovative industries in Sweden at the time is presented and the findings are compar

This essay investigates the impact of income inequality on economic growth in developed countries. The link is primarily investigated through the possible influence of income inequality on the four growth channels savings, human capital, population growth and labor force productivity. A theoretical model, based on an extended version of the Romer model, is presented, where a higher degree of incom

Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri

In recent years, as Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning technologies have advanced, there has been increasing interest in the study of energy-efficient and flexible architectures for embedded systems. To bridge the performance gap between microprocessors and memory systems, Near-Data Processing (NDP) was introduced. Although some works have implemented NDP, few of them utilize the microp

Fishes from the genus Carasobarbus, widely distributed throughout the river systems of North Africa and West Asia, are commonly referred to as Himris. In the Persian Gulf basin, they are widespread and are also found in fast-flowing rivers or the deeper regions of lakes. In this region, representation of these fishes in scientific collections is scarce, and except for C. luteus, the other species

Iridium dioxide (IrO2), ruthenium dioxide (RuO2), and their solid solutions (Ir1-xRuxO2) are very active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Efficient and facile synthesis of nanosized crystallites of these materials is of high significance for electrocatalytic applications for converting green energy to fuels (power-to-X). Here, we use in situ X-ray scattering to examine rea

Aim: There is ongoing controversy regarding the extent to which Hartmann's procedure (HP) should be used in rectal cancer treatment. This study was designed to investigate 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality following HP, anterior resection (AR) and abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer using a national registry. Methods: All patients operated for rectal cancer, tumour height

We developed an analytical method and constrained procedural boundary conditions that enable accurate and precise Zn isotope ratio measurements in urban aerosols. We also demonstrate the potential of this new isotope system for air pollutant source tracing. The procedural blank is around 5 ng and significantly lower than published methods due to a tailored ion chromatographic separation. Accurate

Background: Insufficient physical activity is a growing public health concern and is closely linked to obesity in both adults and children. Swedish physical activity on prescription (PAP) is effective in increasing physical activity levels in adults, but knowledge about how PAP is used in paediatric healthcare is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore experiences of working with PAP for c

The primary aim of this study is to assess the significance of top management commitment in the context of Lean 4.0 implementation within the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Ghana. The study seeks to understand and evaluate the overall effectiveness and achievements associated with adopting Lean 4.0. Employing a positivist mindset, the research utilizes an explanatory quantitative researc

The prognostic impact of PICALM::MLLT10 status in childhood leukaemia is not well described. Ten International Berlin Frankfurt Münster-affiliated study groups and the Children's Oncology Group collaborated in this multicentre retrospective study. The presence of the PICALM::MLLT10 fusion gene was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or RNA sequencing at participating sites. Ninety-

Psychopathic traits in childhood have been revealed as potential identifiers of risk, being predictive of later forms of behavioral maladjustment. Yet, it is still under debate how psychopathic traits in children should be best conceptualized and which are the core dimensions for construct definition and prediction. The present study aims to examine the structure of psychopathic traits in childhoo
