This article will present and discuss the process of digital co-production and audiences' responses to the full-scale interactive, gestural, visual and musical experience of a Virtual Reality arts play. This was inspired by cist-slab images from the Kivik Grave, which is Sweden's most famous Bronze Age grave. The aim of the VR arts play was to use digital technology to engage users as time-travell
BACKGROUND: Beneficial effects from practising a Paleolithic diet as compared to a diabetes diet on weight, waist circumference, satiety, leptin, HbA1c and glucose control in randomised controlled trial participants with type 2 diabetes could be due to lower leptin resistance. Support for this hypothesis comes from an in vitro experiment that showed that digested wheat gluten, which is excluded fr
Aluminum matrix fly ash (AMFA) cenosphere composites were fabricated using the stir casting technique. The used type of fly ash cenosphere, which accounted for over 60% in all fly ash particles, was in narrow and small size (2-30 μm). During synthesis, effects of several key technological parameters on microstructure and properties were investigated using orthogonal experimental design. The optima
Changes in extracellular levels of acetylcholine and choline in the hippocampal formation were measured using intracerebral microdialysis coupled to high performance liquid chromatography with post-column enzyme reaction and electrochemical detection. Various pharmacological and physiological manipulations were applied to awake unrestrained normal rats and rats subjected to a cholinergic denervati
Antennas are one of the key components that empower a new generation of wireless technologies, such as 5G and new radar systems. It has been shown that antenna design strategies based on modal theories represent a powerful systematic approach to design practical antenna systems with high performance. In this thesis, several innovative multi-antenna systems are proposed for wireless applications in
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att vidga min förståelse för färg som skapande verktyg av arkitektur i rumslighet. Studien fokuserar på olika rumsliga fenomen som kan uppkomma beroende på hur färg samspelar med objekt, ytor och rumslighet. Parallellt med detta identifieras olika verktyg och praktiseras sedan i syfte att hitta sätt för färg att vara med i den tidiga designprocessen. För att samlaThe purpose of this thesis is to broaden my understanding of color as a creative tool of architecture in spatiality. The study will focus on different spatial phenomenons that can arise depending on how color interacts with objects, surfaces and spatiality. Parallel to this, different tools will be identified and then practiced in order to find ways for color to be included in the early design pro
In this master's thesis the ability to estimate the respiratory frequency from heart rate variability measurement is analyzed. The goal was to implement a solution that is easily transferable to real time. Starting from the initial processing of data, continuing with two different spectrogram implementations, a single spectrogram and a multitaper spectrogram, combined with three different meth
Denna studie behandlar barnpornografibrottets placering i Brottsbalken (BrB). Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda barnpornografibrottets placering i BrB och dess bakomliggande skäl. Placeringen av barnpornografibrottet granskas ur ett allmänkritiskt perspektiv, men även med ett barnperspektiv. Framställningen beskriver gällande rätt och brottets placering i ljuset av brottets skyddsintressen. Studien bThis thesis discusses the crime of child pornography and its placement in Swedish criminal law, “Brottsbalken” (BrB). The purpose of the thesis is to examine the placement of the crime in BrB and the reasons behind the placement. The placement of the crime is viewed with a general critical perspective, but also with a child perspective. The thesis describes how the law is designed and the placemen
Automatiska förlängningar av avtal innebär att en ny bindningstid inträder om konsumenten inte senast vid viss tidpunkt säger upp avtalet. Att konsumentens passivitet är den omständighet som gör att den nya avtalstiden inträder, har bland annat gjort att sådana förlängningar jämförts med negativ avtalsbindning, vilket svensk rättsordning inte accepterar. Situationen är emellertid annorlunda när paAutomatic extension of contracts means that time-limited contracts are automatically extended unless the consumer terminates the contract a certain amount of time before it is to expire. The fact that the consumer’s inactivity is the reason why the contract is being extended has even led to a comparison between such automatic extensions and an illegal form of contracting called negative contract b
This thesis investigates the operational performance of IKEA’s Order-Initiated Flow (OIF) model for the Food Category in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It examines how extended lead times impact product availability, shelf life, and cost efficiency, and identifies the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. The research aims to evaluate the alignment between the desig
The construction sector is undergoing substantial growth and there are many challenges to address. One challenge is building defects, which affect the structural integrity and put the structure at risk. A common and intrusive building defect is moisture, which can slowly expand and lead to complicated defect detection. Moisture intrusion can cause many issues in the structure of the building and p
Emittenters skyldighet att offentliggöra insiderinformation enligt marknadsmissbruksförordningen (MAR) är betydelsefull för att upprätthålla en transparent och effektiv värdepappersmarknad med allmänhetens förtroende. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka de bedömningar emittenten ställs inför till följd av MAR när information som potentiellt utgör insiderinformation uppstår inför offentliggöIssuers’ duty to disclose inside information according to the market abuse regulation (MAR) is important in order to maintain a transparent and efficient market with the confidence of the public. The purpose of this essay was to examine the assessments faced by the issuer as a result of MAR when information that could constitute inside information arises prior to the disclosure of an interim repor
The recovery of ‘waste heat’ from industrial and urban processes could meet a significant share of heating demands in urban and semi-urban areas. Replacing conventional heat sources in district heating (DH) systems with recovered heat could decrease primary energy inputs in a sector that globally relies to 90% on fossil fuels. Yet, despite the environmental, social, and economic benefits of waste
Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the
The present study investigated second language (L2) learners’ processing of filler-gap dependencies and tested the implications of Clahsen and Felser’s (2006) shallow structure hypothesis according to which L2 learners underuse syntactic information during the processing of these sentence types. Advanced L2 learners of English (native Swedish speakers) listened to English sentences with object-rel
Sammanfattning Sedan den första november 2008 har metoden för framställning av muntlig bevisning i hovrätt ändrats. Med anledning av reformen ”En modernare rättegång” moderniserades rättegången i hovrätten. Moderniseringen innebar bland annat att ljud- och bildupptagning som gjorts i tingsrätten, i regel spelas upp som muntlig bevisning i hovrätten. Nu finns förslag på att den delen av hovrättsförSummary Since November 1st 2008, the method of presenting oral testimonies in the Swedish Court of Appeal has changed. Since the reform “More modern court proceedings” the trials in Court of Appeal have become modernized. The modernization meant, inter alia, that audiovisual recording that have been conducted at the Swedish District Courts are, as a rule, played at the Court of Appeal. The recordi
Abstract Dopamine as a neurotransmitter was discovered in the late 1950s. The dopaminergic system is one of the most well studied neurotransmitter systems in the brain. It is involved in many important functions, such as motor function control; reward, reinforcement, motivation, associative learning, salience information encoding; cognition etc. Disturbances of the dopaminergic system may result
