This study seeks to answer the question of how some young male Afghan refugees, in their own views, negotiated their migration trajectories on their way to the country of asylum, despite the constraints of migrant ”illegality”? To answer this question a qualitative mix-method approach was adopted, comprised of Participatory Action Research and Life History, collecting data through semi-structured
New legislation involving emissions from internal combustion engines are pushing the manu-facturers to develop new technology faster than ever before with the amount of greenhouse gases. To meet the standards new concepts need to be developed with lower fuel consumption and emissions. This thesis covers the implementation of a couple of methods to achieve this. These concepts are DEP with fully va
Models of physical systems are often expressed as a system of mathematical expressions derived from first principles. However some of the relationships present in a model are more conveniently expressed as a table, i.e. for certain values of independent variables the values of dependent variables are known. This imposes a limitation on the optimization software to be used, since optimization softw
Uppsatsens syfte att dels att beskriva vad begreppet management innebär för mellancheferna på det studerade företaget, dels att peka på de konsekvenser som kan följa av detsamma. I uppsatsen har en kvalitativ metod använts med krav på kritisk reflektion. Det empiriska underlaget består av åtta intervjuer med chefer inom ett medelstort svenskt företag. Inom Trade AB råder en tudelad syn på mellanch
This thesis is based on my interpretation of three particular visual examples that were created in relation to the racial tensions that were occurring at the time of their production. My visual examples are (1) the 2016 campaign advert commissioned by Operation Black vote (2) The music video I’m not Racist by the American rapper Joyner Lucas relaesed in 2017 (3) Sir Davey’s Proclamation Board to t
The main aim of the present study was to study memory interference using a more ecological approach, where competing events can be separated by the environmental context. In order to increase the ecological validity of the study, context was manipulated through the presentation of video clips instead of commonly used static pictures. The second aim of the study was to assess if the contextual cues

Adult neurogenesis is the process of generating new neurons from neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian brain, which occurs in two neurogenic niches; the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dental gyrus (DG). In rodents, neurogenesis continues throughout life, but this process decreases with age, which may result in cogniti
As global average temperatures are rising, the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has ramped up its anti-climate but pro environmental protection politics. As this focus is nascent, the question of how and for whom does the political ecology of the AfD articulates meaning has yet received little attention. My analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with party membe
Detta examensarbete har undersökt tillämpningen av förpackningar för färsk frukt och grönsaker, med fokus på onödiga förpackningar. Olika faktorer påverkar frukt och grönsaker efter skörd som är relevanta att beakta vid förvaring och hantering. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur användningen av förpackningar ser ut för frukt och grönsaker. Arbetet ska även utforska butikers och konsumenters syn This degree project has studied the use of packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables focusing on excess packaging. Different factors after harvest affect fruits and vegetables that are of relevance to consider when storing and handling these. The purpose of this study has been to find used. The approach on the subject from out how packaging for fruits and vegetables is grocery stores and consume
Amelogenin is an enamel matrix protein (EMP) that plays an important role during enamel formation. It guides apatite crystals to form in the right way and is later degraded during enamel maturation. Amelogenin has been shown to have regenerative properties in bones, teeth, and wounds, and is therefore interesting from a biomaterial perspective. The amelogenin has high self-assembly potential and c
Memory competition often hinders the retrieval of a particular event. It has long been established that access to the encoding context facilitates later retrieval. Previous research suggested that context is encoded alongside with event memories like bookmarks and can be used to differentiate target memory from competitors. The current study used pupillometry to investigate if context mitigates me
This thesis sought to investigate how ISOs shaped their strategic narratives, linked to their reactions and actions against Russia, since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In addition, it also intends to shine light on how international sport activities can be used as a soft power tool in international politics. Using a combination of a case study and qualitative content analysis, it is revealed ho
Sustainability is one of the main communication challenges that organizations face in the 21st century, and as the digitalization of communication has increased, so have the visual aspects of sustainability communication. The subject is rather new in general and has only recently grown within sports organizations such as motorsports. Therefore, there is little research, knowledge, and understandin
Risk attitudes influence a wide range of financial decisions in the household, such as investments, consumption, and savings. It is, therefore, crucial to understand risk attitudes and how they change throughout the life cycle, in order to determine and predict economic behavior. In this study, we investigate the impact of changes in family structure on individuals' financial risk attitudes by
In this thesis a preliminary evaluation of the potential of a leghemoglobin (Lb) for the development of a blood substitute in humans, resembling hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, was conducted. Leghemoglobin B (VfLbB), a gene from Vicia faba, was cloned into a pET-DEST42 vector, using the Gateway™ recombination technology. The recombinant vector containing VfLbB was sequenced and confirmed. Then
