An increasing amount of research findings is showing that higher engagement in cognitive tasks alleviates the interference of anxiety and worry on task performance as compared to lower task engagement. Yet, it is still not clear which cognitive functions are mostly contributing to this relieving effect. To add to the current knowledge, the present experimental work investigated the relations bet
In this Bachelor's thesis, a solution to the Dirichlet problem using Brownian motion is given. Brownian motion is constructed using Kolmogorov's existence and continuity theorems. Blumenthal's zero-one law and the strong Markov property in various formulations are proven. Using these results, a solution to the Dirichlet problem is given using Brownian motion. The cone condition which g
Products made from pulp are a part of everyday life. With end products like coffee filters, food packaging and tissue paper. These products are the result of wood being processed in pulp mills to produce the pulp from which the forementioned paper products are produced. The modern pulp and paper industry is energy intense and on a global perspective a large emitter of greenhouse gasses, accounting
This thesis discusses an extension of the classical maximum modulus principle to unbounded domains, called the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle. The principle is illustrated in strips, half planes and sectors, as well as through the related Hadamard theorems. The thesis is concluded by proving applications of the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle within Fourier analysis and operator theory. The applications

This study considers the small states and state like entities of Europe, defined as those with a population of fewer than 2 million, and their relationship with the EU. It focuses on Andorra, Iceland, Luxembourg, Jersey and Åland and is conducted using interviews with ‘non experts’ in each of these states. This data is supplemented with expert interviews in each state to establish the nature of th
Background The telecommunication market is characterized by short product life cycles why the time of the development process has to be minimized. This means lack of time in the development process why known and tried design solutions are being used to a great extent instead of trying new and less conventional solutions.

Globalization is a widespread phenomenon that is having a strong influence on the modern society, creating both threats and opportunities. One of the most affected areas by the global pressures is the labor market, which requires specific policies and tools to respond to the increasing challenges. It is thus the task of the modern welfare states, to intervene in the attempt of transforming the glo

The thesis consists of four chapters, each focused on developing the knowledge and drawing new connections with the p-adic numbers and the notions that are well known from the usual analysis on the real topology. In the first chapter, we introduce the basic structure of the $p$-adics, in connection to the conergent series and field axioms. Following that, in chapter two we focus on the defining t
