While it is fairly certain that people have experienced emotions all throughout history, it is less certain how we understand historical expressions of emotion in a modern context and what value such an understanding could bring to examinations of the link between power and the people. The aim of this master thesis is to gain deeper understanding regarding the relationship between human emotions a

The U.S.-China relationship is undeniably one of the most important economic and security relationships of the 21st century. Since Barack Obama took office in 2009, increasing emphasis has been put on ending the two wars in the Middle East and to redirect focus towards the increasingly important Asia Pacific region. The U.S. relationship with China has proven difficult to manage, and major differi

When girls in Japan acquired the right to higher education in the wake of the Meiji reformation in the 19th century, these girls began to talk in a way that was considered vulgar by the public. It was called teyo dawa kotoba (teyo dawa speech) – and over time it became what we call female speech today. During the Meiji and Taisho periods proper ladies did not talk that way, and it was considered t

This project (Enzymatic degradation of arabinoxylan and phytic acid as a method to increase yield and bioavailability of nutrients in liquid oat base) evaluates the degradation of phytic acid, of the insoluble fraction from Oatly’s existing production process, with the aim of increasing available nutrients such as minerals and proteins. Previous studies have shown that phytic acid from this fracti

I Zinkgruvan, Sverige, bryts zink, bly och silver ur en stratiform malmkropp. Denna anses vara syngenetiskt avsatt och återfinns i metavulkaniska och metasedimentära bergarter. En förkastning, Knallaförkastningen, delar malmförekomsten i två delar. Den västra delen, Knalla, är kraftigt deformerad medan den östra, Nygruvan, har en väl utvecklad lagring. Stratigrafiskt under Zn-Pb-Ag- malmen i västrAt Zinkgruvan, Sweden, zinc, lead and silver are mined from a stratiform ore body. It is considered syngenetic and situated in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. A fault, the Knalla fault, separates the Zinkgruvan deposit into two parts. In the western part, Knalla, the ore is severely deformed, whereas in the eastern part, Nygruvan, a distinct layering occurs. In the western part of Knalla,

Det har länge förts en debatt om huruvida medelarskyddet för privatanställda bör utökas. Flera utredningar har gjorts på området, men ingen har lett till mer omfattande lagstiftningsåtgärder. I juni år 2012 beslutades att frågan om stärkt meddelarskydd för privatanställda ska ses över igen, nu avseende offentligt finansierad verksamhet och framförallt sådan verksamhet som avser vård, skola och oms

Popular summary Guld är en ädelmetall som är mycket älskad av människan och har varit eftertraktad under århundraden. Guld har används som betalningsmedel, som värdebeständig tillgång och som smycken. Men guld har även andra egenskaper som kan vara till stor nytta för människan. En av egenskaperna undersöktes i det här projektet. Guld kan nämligen kopplas till en molekyl och på så sätt få egenskap

X-ray methods can offer unique insights into the structural and electronic properties of nanomaterials. Recent years have seen a dramatic improvement in both x-ray sources and x-ray optics, providing unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. These developments are particularly useful for nanowires, which are inherently small and give weak signals. This review gives an overview of how different x-r

Patterns of correlations among judgments of targets on different attributes are the basis for common psychometric procedures such as factor analysis and network modeling. The outcomes of such analyses may shape the images (i.e., theories) that we as scientists have of the phenomena that we study. However, key conceptual issues tend to be overlooked in these analyses, which is especially problemati

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease with a largely unknown etiology. Although the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta is the pathological hallmark of PD, neuroinflammation also plays a fundamental role in PD pathology. We have previously reported that PD patients have increased frequencies of T cells reactive to peptides from α-synuclein (

The access to safe and clean drinking water is a major concern throughout the world. Surface water has become the most common source for raw water, when large quantities of groundwater often are inaccessible, and as surface water requires more treatment, simple, cheap and efficient process methods are necessary. Turbidity removal is essential for treatment of surface water and is often carried out

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss how a Swedish public library approaches their costumers. I will show how a library interacts with their costumers compared to a business, which has a different economic work frame, a building materials supplier. My aim is to pinpoint differences and explore new methods for the library in order to improve their service. The theoretical frame of the thesis i
