This master’s thesis explores everyday life on the islands Asperö and Brännö, located in the South archipelago of Gothenburg. Although the islands are part of the Gothenburg municipality, their geographical separation creates unique, place-specific challenges, while also the boundedness of the islands' isolation fosters a sense of community among residents. The aim of the study is to gain an u
While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit
This bachelor thesis and project were done at Combitech AB in Helsingborg where the company had shown a previous interest in a rule engine solution for placement in the cloud. Part of the project was to identify an existing rule engine that could be further developed and implemented into a larger solution also adhering to any requirements presented by the target cloud system. Several candidates we
Högkvarteren av den satiriska tidningen Charlie Hebdo i Paris blev mål för en dödlig terrorist attack i januari 2015. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka stigmatiseringen av franska muslimer i ljuset av efterdyningarna av attacken. Denna studie undersöker elva öppna brev som skrevs av franska medborgare i samma månad som tragedin. Jag genomförde en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av breven följand
Who cares about the people with a gambling abuse? Gambling abuse is a problem that has been getting more and more attention in the media and through the people that work with the subject. The Swedish state has monopoly on gambling in Sweden but the Internet makes it possible for international gambling companies to reach customers in Sweden. This in return makes it harder for the Swedish state and
This contribution analyses the first decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the qualification and regulation of stand-alone software as medical devices. Referring to the facts of the case and the applicable EU regulatory framework, the Court specifically found that prescription support software may constitute a medical device. This would even be the case where the softwar
This paper presents a measurement of jet-track correlations in photon-jet events, using 1.72 (Formula presented) of (Formula presented) data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with energetic photon-jet pairs are selected, where the photon and jet are approximately back-to-back in azimuth. The angular correlation between jets and charged-particle tracks with
The structural basis for the biological specificity of human cystatin C has been investigated. Cystatin C and other inhibitors belonging to family 2 of the cystatin superfamily interact reversibly with target peptidases, seemingly by independent affinity contributions from a wedge-shaped binding region built from two loop-forming inhibitor segments and a binding region corresponding to the N-termi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker teologen Gustaf Wingrens (1910-2000) kyrkosyn och relaterar den till den nutida diskussionen om Svenska kyrkan som folkkyrka. Tre viktiga frågor ställs till Wingren och andra teologer och debattörer, som ingår i undersökningen, nämligen: Vad är kyrkan? (om kyrkans väsen). Vem är kyrka? (om gränser, medlemskap och auktoritet). Var är kyrkan? (om kThis thesis explores the ecclesiology of the Swedish theologian Gustaf Wingren and discusses the future of the "folk church". Three questions What, Who and Where is the Church? sustain the structure of this investigation. Wingren reflected on issues related to the openness and the identity of the church. His main concern was the interpretation the gospel as the liberating message to the guilt-ridd
An electrophysiological measure of semantic processing (the N400) was used to assess shape recognition in toddlers. This measure strongly predicted working memory at 6-7 years. Moreover, a behavioral measure of shape recognition at 24 months was related to concurrent vocabulary and vocabulary skills at 6-7 years.
Exercise Doppler echocardiography (EDE) is a well-validated tool in ischemic and valvular heart diseases. However, its use in the assessment of the right heart and pulmonary circulation unit (RH-PCU) is limited. The aim of this study is to assess the semi-recumbent bicycle EDE feasibility for the evaluation of RH-PCU in a large multi-center population, from healthy individuals and elite athletes t
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between transplantation rate per center and postoperative mortality after heart transplantation. In 2011, Sweden centralized heart transplants and waiting lists, reducing the number of centers from 3 to 2. We aimed to assess the active waiting time and pre- and post-transplant mortality before and after centralization.METHODS: Heart tra
The underlying mechanisms for statin-induced myopathy (SIM) are still equivocal. In this study, we employ Drosophila melanogaster to dissect possible underlying mechanisms for SIM. We observe that chronic fluvastatin treatment causes reduced general locomotion activity and climbing ability. In addition, transmission microscopy of dissected skeletal muscles of fluvastatin-treated flies reveals stro
High quality research data and analytical code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results, are key research outputs, and are crucial elements to facilitate reproducibility. However, in ecology and evolution (E&E) in particular, it is currently unknown how many journals have policies on data- and code-sharing for peer review purposes, or upon manuscript acceptance.
