The encoding-retrieval match has been established as a means to improve memory performance. It has recently been proposed that memory performance is not only explained by the encoding-retrieval match and that the cue overload effect needs to be taken into account when predicting memory performance. In the present study, participants were tested using a cued recall methodology. During a study phase
The properties of modified cellulose polymers, such as methylcellulose, are significantly influenced by the distribution of substituents along the polymer backbone. This distribution is difficult to determine due to the lack of suitable analytical methods. One approach is to use cellulose-degrading enzymes to gain information from the capability of the enzymes to cleave the bonds between glucose u
The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim
Roten till cancer? Cancer är en ledande orsak till en stor mängd dödsfall i världen och därför en fruktad sjukdom. Forskningen gör dock framsteg och man kommer allt närmre svaren på gåtorna. På senare år har det föreslagits att en speciell typ av celler, cancerstamceller, är drivande och ligger bakom flera av cancersjukdomarnas egenskaper. Alla organismer är uppbyggda av celler, den stora majoriIn recent years increasing evidence supporting the stem cell hypothesis have emerged and cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported to have been isolated in a wide variety of cancers. This CSC population has been attributed to contribute to the therapeutic resistance of many cancers and it is thus of great interest to find new therapeutic options targeting these cells. In ileal carcinoids however
Despite weak evidence, the use of acupuncture has increased in infantile colic. The only three randomized trials conducted evaluated standardized minimal acupuncture in one single point. Two showed effect but one did not so further research is necessary. The aims of the study are 1) to test if results in earlier trials conducted in private acupuncture clinics can be repeated at Child Health Center
Pathological complete response (pCR) following chemotherapy is strongly associated with both breast cancer subtype and long-term survival. Within a phase III neoadjuvant chemotherapy trial, we sought to determine whether the prognostic implications of pCR, TP53 status and treatment arm (taxane versus non-taxane) differed between intrinsic subtypes. Patients were randomized to receive either six cy
The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the world’s total anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, CO2 among others. As a part of the effort to combat this are environmental certifications which have become increasingly more numerous and more frequent in use. This is partly because consumers have become more environmentally aware and motivated to pay more for products and
The purpose of the thesis is to identify the key determinants of corporate liquidity in Swedish firms and whether these have changed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. For these means, data obtained from companies listed on the Swedish NASDAQ OMX Stockholm stock exchange are used to estimate a number of dynamic panel regression models in E-Views. The ambition is that the insights gained wil
This paper examines the impact of inflation on the income tax in Spain from 1979 to 1987. By introducing a new approach using dynamic microsimulation and the Elasticity of Taxable Income (ETI), we analyze three dimensions of the tax: revenue, progressivity, and redistribution. The microsimulation reveals that the lack of adjustment of the income tax to inflation: 1) accounts for 44% of the increas
I det svenska samhället syns en nedåtgående trend när det gäller barn och ungas läs- och skrivförmåga. Därmed finns det ett värde i att utforska effekter av läsfrämjande initiativ. Den aktuella studien ämnar således att studera vilken betydelse miljön på kulturhuset Funnys Äventyr kan ha i relation till högläsning. Mer specifikt undersöks vilken betydelse miljön har för barns nivå av distraktion o
Denna uppsats undersöker vilken betydelse EU-domstolens avgörande i Seraing kan få för svenska domstolars verkställighet av utländska kommersiella skiljedomar. Fokus ligger särskilt på hur ordre public-förbehållet i svensk rätt och internationell skiljerätt påverkas av EU-rättens ökade inflytande över skiljeförfaranden. Uppsatsen är skriven med dels en rättsdogmatisk, dels en EU-rättslig metod. SThis thesis examines the implications of the Seraing decision for the enforcement of foreign commercial arbitral awards in Swedish courts. The analysis focuses particularly on how the public policy exception in Swedish arbitration law may be affected by the increasing influence of European Union law on international arbitration. The thesis is written using both a legal dogmatic and EU legal method
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur de två faktorerna självförtroende och inre motivation skiljer sig åt mellan personer som har kommit olika långt i riktning mot ett fysiskt aktivt liv. 144 försökspersoner besvarade 19 frågor i en enkätstudie. Deras svar angående motionsvanor och attityd gentemot fysisk aktivitet placerade dem i olika faser i den transteoretiska modellen. Därefter jämförd
Studien undersökte grundskolelärares inställning till att bli utvärderade av sina elever. Metoden var kvantitativ och en enkät utformades av författarna för att förstå lärarnas inställning. Svar från 55 grundskolelärare analyserades och presenterades i studien. Resultatet visade att grundskolelärare inte anser att elevutvärderingar kan bidra till att förbättra undervisningen. Lärarna trodde att deThe study investigated grade school teachers’ attitudes about pupil evaluation of teaching. The method used was quantitative and a questionnaire was developed to capture the teachers’ attitudes. A sample of 55 grade school teachers was analyzed and presented in this study. The results indicated that grade school teachers do not find pupil evaluations helpful in improving their teaching. The teache
Particle physics experiments rely extensively on computing and data services, making e-infrastructure an integral part of the research collaboration. Constructing and operating distributed computing can however be challenging for a smaller-scale collaboration.The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a planned small-scale accelerator-based experiment to search for dark matter in the sub-GeV mass
Recent insect decline prompts rapid online monitoring solutions with specificity for thousands of coexisting species.I demonstrate how microscopic and nanoscopic features of insects can aid differentiation of species and be retrieved with spectral lidar.
A circular concept involving use of faba bean hulls for production of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm.) and the post-harvest residues for feed purposes was evaluated. Faba bean hulls are a waste remaining after the beans are dehulled to decrease the content of anti-nutritional factors and increase the food value of the beans. Faba bean hulls proved very suitable as substrate
The analysis of the current state of fire statistics and data collection in Europe and other countries is needed to increase awareness of how fire incidents affect buildings and to support pan-European fire prevention and fire mitigation measures. The terminology and data collected regarding fire incidents in buildings in the EU Member States were mapped to obtain meaningful datasets to determine
