Studien undersökte hur auditivt minne påverkas av att höra en röst som talar med dialekt på ens eget modersmål (i detta fall svenska) i jämförelse med att höra en röst som talar med brytning på ett annat språk (i detta fall franska). Auditivt minne är ett relevant område i forensiskt sammanhang då det finns bristfällig forskning gällande öronvittnen och dialekters och brytningars påverkan på öronvThe present study researched how auditory memory is affected by hearing a voice that speaks with a dialect in one’s own mother tongue (in this case Swedish) in comparison to hearing a voice that speaks with an accent in another language (in this case French). Auditory memory is a relevant field in forensic context since the research concerning earwitnesses and the impact of dialects and accents on

The amount of people in Sweden that studies on a higher level has increased a fair amount during the period 1990-2020. With a higher level of education, the graduates expect to be compensated for the time spent, with, for instance, a higher salary. Although during the same time studied, data and statistics show a negative trend regarding the profitability of the education, meaning that graduates r

The topic of unequal regional development is well-studied, and evening those inequalities out has long been a core priority for the European Union, deemed necessary for sustainable long-term growth across the EU. Even so, many regions seem to be ‘left behind’ or treated as though they ‘don’t matter’, and the ‘populist vote’ for Euroskeptic, ‘anti-systemic’ parties has grown steadily throughout the

Before electronic products reach the market, Functional Circuit Testing (FCT) is an essential process to ensure performance and reliability. Traditional FCT requires developing dedicated testing firmware for each batch of products, which increases both development costs and time. This thesis proposes a testing method based on Boundary Scan, provides an alternative that eliminates the need for firm

In the last 50 years the gay pride movement has gained more momentum worldwide than ever before. The increased visibility obtained from the Stonewall riots of 1969 in the US, granted queer identities agency. Almost a decade later, the gay pride movement started to flourish in Greece as well, but the country did not see its first gay Pride parade until 2005 in the capital city of Athens. Since then

Changing climate affects various ecosystem processes within the boreal forest, wildfire among them. Meanwhile temperature is commonly accepted as one of the most important regulating factors. In the context of 2016 being the warmest year in observational history, this review attempts to identify changes in wildfire extent within the central and south-eastern Siberian taiga. Satellite based estimat

This study looks at how political regimes affect income inequality. Levels of inequality differ a lot between countries but tend to be very stable over time in a country. This is in line with explanations of inequality that focus on structural factors, of which political regimes could be one. The model used in this study is based on the selectorate theory, which states that the size of the group t

It also examined if there were any differences regarding attachment styles tendencies between family counseling receptions. 60 couples from two family counseling receptions participated in the study. A similar group from a f

One of the most promising alternatives to reduce global CO2 emissions is the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels in the transportation sector. Production of biofuels from energy crops or residues arises as an answer, but the technology is still costly to be implemented at commercial scale. This project proposes reducing bioethanol production costs by using animal bedding as feedstock. The main

This study serves to explore the usage of mobile financial technology amongst MSME owners and operators. Taking the form of a case study in a town of higher-than-average poverty in rural Ghana, it represents a rare mixed-methods investigation of technology acceptance, in addition to serving as an empirical test of the well-worn Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in relation to a specific, often-ove

Det svenska Lagrådet har uppgiften att granska lagar under lagstiftningsarbetet. Det bildades 1909 eftersom Högsta domstolen, som tidigare hade denna roll, var överbelastat av alla de nya lagar som skapades. Under det dryga sekel som det svenska Lagrådet har existerat så har det skett ett antal förändringar. Denna uppsats analyserar vilka förändringar som har skett och varför. Den jämför även detThe Swedish legal council is responsible for legal preview in the Swedish process for creating new laws.

Risk communication is recognised as an essential component of crisis preparedness, enabling people at risk to take informed decisions to protect themselves. Research has shown that foreign-born people including refugees and immigrants to a lesser extent than others are reached by the information and are less prepared for crisis, making them particularly vulnerable in crisis situations. Employing a

In sustainability research and elsewhere the notion of resilience is attracting growing interest and causing heated debate. Those focusing on resilience often emphasize its potential to bridge, integrate, and unify disciplines. This paper attempts to evaluate these claims. Resilience is investigated as it appears in several fields, including materials science, psychology, ecology, and sustainabili

The effects of wood ash application on soil microbial processes were investigated in three drained forested peatlands, which differed in nutrient status and time since application. Measured variables included the concentrations of soil elements and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), net nitrogen (N) mineralization, nitrification and denitrification enzyme activity, potential methane (CH(4)) oxidati

We studied bacterial and fungal colonization of submerged plant litter, using a known Si-accumulator (Equisetum arvense), in experimental microcosms during one month. We specifically addressed the microbial decomposer role concerning biogenic silica (bSiO2) dissolution from the degrading litter. To vary the rates and level of microbial colonization, the litter was combined with a range of mineral
