In this essay, I will examine what Origen of Alexandria believed about the resurrection of the body. Origen was condemned as a heretic at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553, one of the main reasons for this was that he was said to deny the physical resurrection of the body. Due to the condemnation of Origen, the work of copying his works was also stopped, with the result that many of Orig
Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h
Background: Sweden has a long-standing tradition of youth-friendly services focusing on sexual, reproductive and mental health. Currently, they are mainly targeting and being used by girls and young women. Little is known about what motivates and prevents boys and young men from seeking out and utilising health services, including the youth clinics. This study therefore aimed to investigate factor
Detta arbete är en översättningsvetenskaplig analys som baseras på översättningen av ett utdrag ur Simon Winchesters Atlantic: A Vast Ocean of a Million Stories, utgiven 2010. Första delen utgörs av en inledning, där boken och författaren presenteras översiktligt. Andra delen består av en källtextanalys efter analysmodellen i Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins Vägar genom texten (1997). Tredje delen
This thesis aims to understand copula theory and its application in measuring dependence, particularly in the context of the paper "Multivariate conditional versions of Spearman’s rho and related measures of tail dependence" by Schmid and Schmidt. We clarify certain statements and formulas in Schmid and Schmidt's work, explore the potential of the conditional version of Spearman'
Previous studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory formation have been limited because the design of experiments tended to restrict natural viewing behavior, and thus they overlooked the role of eye movements in memory formation. The goal of the present study is to offer new insights into understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory formation in naturalistic viewing at the leve
In the following thesis, the development of the biofuels sector in the United States will be analysed using environmental economics. Around year 2005, there was a significant increase in the production of liquid biofuels. Hence, the thesis aims to explore the reasons behind the increase. Acts of government have been analysed while enlisting the help of summaries and overviews accessed through v
The dissertation explores the refugees and EU securitization processes pursued by Hungary and Poland during the period of refugees’ crisis. The securitization theory is used along with CDA and topos tool to analyse the politicians’ speeches and statements, the joint reports of the two countries, besides Orbán’s national consultations. Where a clear security language in all of these sources that li
The agri-food system has driven economic development and supported the growing population, but it has also significantly contributed to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the system is vulnerable and faces challenges that hinder innovation and sustainability. Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy model in the food system can effectively restore biodiversity, combat climate change, and
The stellar luminosity increases as a star evolves which inevitably yields a higher temperature on planets in orbit around the star. It is reasonable to assume that intelligent civilizations would tackle this issue through installing artificial structures that can alter the radiation received by the planet. Such structures, if they exist, are potentially detectable with current or near-future tech
During the last few years several violent school attacks have taken place in Sweden, leading to a debate in both the media and in politics concerning school security. There is pressure from the public to “make schools safer”, with some steps being taken on a legislative level. This thesis aims to understand how security is represented as a problem in the Swedish Education Act’s preparatory work, a
The observed upper limit of the luminosity of red supergiants, often called the Humphreys-Davidson limit, has recently been shown to be independent of metallicity and to not be explainable by single star evolution – findings that both contradict established ideas of the origins of the limit. It is now known that the vast majority of stars with sufficient mass to possibly evolve into red supergiant
In recent years, the office market has been changing, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological innovation. This has impacted how office space is used and has led to an increase in the range of available real estate products. One of the decisions organizations need to make is whether to own or lease their space, which is a decision driven by several parameters. The right decision for a
The development of generic pharmaceuticals includes extensive data on equivalence with the reference listed drug is required by the European medicinal agency (EMA) and the North American equivalent. Equivalence must be proven for rheology, microstructure, and performance. This is a costly and time-consuming process. To reduce the costs, it is of interest to investigate if the release profile (perf
The use of piezoelectric crystals as a way to achieve automatic alignment of an image sensor in a camera was investigated in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. Piezoelectric crystals can be created into different configurations, piezoelectric stacks being one of the simpler ones. By attaching three piezoelectric stacks behind an image sensor and applying voltage to the stacks, they expand
The aim of the project is to develop a framework for an insurance policy for digital assets. The project comprised several stages, starting with the identification of risks associated with these assets. Policyholders were then categorized into two groups based on a predefined rating factor. Subsequently, data about previous thefts was gathered, two different approaches were explored. In the first
In 2016 a historic peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC) was signed, putting an end to a conflict that lasted over 50 years. This agreement was the world’s very first gender-inclusive peace accord, meaning that they included women in the peace process and recognized how they are particularly subjected to war and confl
