Seriepositionseffekter och recency-kvoten har visat potential som kliniska verktyg riktade mot neurokognitiva störningar, de har dock förblivit outforskade i Claeson-Dahls Test för inlärning och minne (CDT). Den aktuella studien syftade att fylla kunskapsluckan, vilket gjordes genom naturalistiskt insamlade data (N = 110) från ett projekt avsett att uppdatera CDT:s normer. Jag hypotiserade förekomSerial positioning effects and the derived recency ratio has shown increasing promise as clinical tools for evaluating neurocognitive disorders. These measures have remained unexplored in Claeson-Dahl’s Test for verbal learning and retention (CDT). To correct this, the present study used naturalistic sample data (N = 110) from a project intended to update CDT’s norms. I hypothesized the prevalence

Modern-day opportunities allow musicians to divert from normalised, widespread perceptions of their artistic needs and pursue diverse career paths. This thesis uses autoethnographic methods to explore a classical pianist's navigation between contrasting fields, such as international relations, higher education management, and music and performance. Artistic citizenship and discourse theory hav

In recent years, researchers worldwide have become increasingly interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in the multilingual classroom. The paper aims to try to understand when and why teachers in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools code-switch in their classrooms. It analyses the methods and reasons for teachers’ code-switching in the SFI classroom. A case study was conducted by means of a

The purpose of this research was to examine existing governance arrangements within the Australian federal public service and possible improvements for managing systemic risks at a national level. While there has been greater attention and discussion on systemic risks recently, research on how to govern systemic risk remains in its infancy. Where systemic risk governance is discussed, it is genera

High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) accounts for most ovarian cancer deaths, due to it often being diagnosed at late stages (III and IV). However, there is currently no early screening method sufficient for improving survival rates. HGSC primarily harbors structural variants, typically copy number (CN) aberrations caused by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). CN can be calculated based on re

Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians

Poly(vinyl chloride) has a long history of use in the flooring industry. Throughout the years, several environmental and health issues have arisen concerning the production, usage and disposal of PVC. Forbo Flooring Systems is a company striving to provide environmentally friendly products for their customers, and therefore has an investigation of alternative polymers to PVC been initiated. The ai

In this thesis work, the design challenges of building a robust Battery Management System with the existing solutions are discussed highlighting the communication within the battery pack. The initial plan of this master thesis work was to investigate wireless BMS technologies and to implement a wireless BMS, as a demo prototype for three segments with wired BMS for a full 7.2 kWh battery pack. Aft

Strategic communication as an integrating discipline addresses social phenomenon as migration. When people relocate, they experience physical and mental stress, and seek guidance, questioning their sense of belonging. Authentic communication based on feminist values aims to build long-lasting relations and reach social inclusion by conducting more sensitive communication. This thesis explores the

The axiom of transitivity states that if a person prefers option A to B and B to C, he must also prefer A to C. This simple axiom is often seen as one of the pillars of rational choice, but whether it should be has created a divide in the research community. Some state that there cannot be rational choice or utility without transitivity and that agents who present intransitive preferences allow th

Infrastruktursektorn är beroende av detaljerad information om markförhållanden för att säkerställa en miljömässig och socialt hållbar utveckling. Nuvarande hydrogeologiska metoder, såsom invasiv borrning, är ofta kostsamma, tidskrävande och begränsade i geografisk täckning av ett undersökningsområde. Direktströms resistivitet och tidsdomän-inducerad polarisering (DCIP) erbjuder ett icke-invasivt, The infrastructure sector relies on detailed subsurface data for environmentally and socially responsible development. Traditional hydrogeological methods, like invasive drilling, are costly, time-consuming, and limited in spatial coverage. Direct Current resistivity and time-domain Induced Polarization (DCIP) offer a non-invasive, cost-effective and spatially extensive alternative for estimating

The master’s thesis focuses on Gamified Green Information Systems (IS). It explores how gamified green IS influence employee behaviour and the motivational factors encouraging environmentally sustainable practices. For this, qualitative research was conducted, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews from seven employees. The data were analysed thematically to conclude to five th

This thesis addresses the need for robust price forecasting in the volatile Rare Earth Elements (REEs) markets. With a specific focus on neodymium, given it is the most utilized REEs, we investigate how feature selection can be effectively performed to guide REE price forecasting by proposing and evaluating three distinct methodologies: Adaptive Lasso, Post-Double Selection (PDS), and an integrate

This thesis explores how Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) unfolds within Swedish municipal organizations and identifies how EDI is managed and structured, and what kind of innovations that are created in such organizational environments. While innovation is increasingly emphasized in the public sector, this study reveals that its practice is far from uniform. Through qualitative studies of three m

A gamma-charged particle coincidence spectroscopy setup was constructed, with the intended purpose of analysing future aerosol samples from the ESS. The setup consists of a Compex composite high purity germanium (HPGe) detector, with a bismuth-germanate oxide (BGO) anti-Compton shield (ACS), and a single-sided silicon strip detector (SSD). A 207Bi sample was used to evaluate the performance of the

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are among the most promising vectors for safe and effective gene delivery in therapeutic applications. However, engineering functional AAV capsids remains a major challenge due to the vast sequence space, unpredictable biological performance, and limited translational success of many variants. Machine learning offers a powerful strategy to address these limitations

The increasing demand for electric vehicle charging stations creates new challenges for electric grid planning. This thesis proposes a framework for forecasting realistic 24-hour peak load profiles for new direct current fast-charging stations without historical observations. The method combines $K$-means clustering of existing stations’ hourly load patterns and random forest models that predict b

The global decline of seagrass meadows has increased the need for effective restoration strategies, yet recovery is often limited by physical environmental stressors. This thesis investigates the hydrodynamic thresholds influencing seagrass seedling survival and recruitment along the Adelaide coastline in Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia. The study focuses on two sites with similar environmental

This paper provides an answer to the requests that has been made for witness confrontations to become an accurate and reliable tool in the court. This was achieved by the development and testing of the Guilty Face Test (GFT). Facial stimuli was used in a Target Present lineup were the enhanced elicitation of the Even-Related Potential component P300 confirmed recognition of the culprit. The partic
