Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been investigated recently in false memories and specifically in the DRM paradigm. EMDR has been shown to decrease emotionality of the problematic memories in PTSD, but also to decrease false memories. No studies have to date shown how emotion and memory is effected by EMDR in the DRM paradigm when non-emotional wordlists are coupled with a nega
The aim of this study was to examine how nature-supported rehabilitation is portrayed and how the current discourses appear in a number of articles, reports and websites. The method that we used was critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough’s reasoning. The empirics were chosen from a targeted selection based on the purpose of the study. The distinguished discourses we found in the material
Grit, the “passion and perseverance for long-term goals” (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews & Kelly, 2007, p. 1087) is strongly related to success in goal attainment even under challenging circumstances. The current thesis investigated how grit relates to three aspects of well-being: psychological well-being (PWB), life satisfaction, and harmony in life. This relationship is approached through the
Lågaffektivt bemötande är en metod som nyligen har införts i en del svenska skolor för att hantera problemskapande beteende. Metoden skiljer sig mot andra metoder då den har grundtanken: barn gör rätt om de kan, snarare än barn gör rätt om de vill. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur pedagoger uppfattat implementeringen av lågaffektivt bemötande efter beslut från skolledningen att införaLow arousal approach is a method that recently was implemented in some Swedish schools to manage challenging behavior. The method differs from other methods by its keynote: Kids do the right thing if they are able instead of Kids do the right thing if they want to. The purpose of this study was to examine how pedagogues view the implementation of low arousal behavior due to a decision from the sch
The quality of chocolate relies almost completely on its cocoa butter content. Solidifying the cocoa butter into the desired polymorph and maintaining it over storage to give a glossy and firm chocolate with a perfect snap is a concern of every chocolatier. In past studies on cocoa butter crystallization, various techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Magnetic Res
With a novel path index design, called the Shortcut Index, we partially solve the problem of executing traversal queries on dense neighborhoods in a graph database. We implement our design on top of the graph database Neo4j but it could be used for any graph database that uses the labeled property graph model. By using a B+ tree, the Shortcut Index can achieve what we call neighborhood locality a
The aim of this study is to examine how the two nature reserves Fågelsångsdalen and Linnebjer are being maintained. Fågelsångsdalen has 16 different management areas whereas Linnebjer has 12. My observations for each of these areas took place out in the field with the help of each management plan and a map of the area. The current status of the different management areas is compared to the managem
Every car has its own cornering dynamics, some are oversteered, meaning that they respond more to a steering input, and some are understeered, responding less to a steering input. These dynamics depend on a wide range of parameters, the size and weight of a car and the distribution of the weight to name a few. The main part of this thesis is aimed at controlling the cornering dynamics. More specif
Within the EU FP-6 project SMErobotTM a new type of high-performance robots has been developed by ABB Robotics, the Robotics Lab at Lund University and Güdel AG, Switzerland. The new design is based on a parallel configuration of the robot's joints (parallel robots). The main novelty of that concept is its completely new parallel kinematic structure, which allows to exploit all the advantages
For the performance of the Haldex Active Yaw Control, accurate information about vehicle's lateral dynamic is important. It is for practical reasons not possible to measure the vehicle's lateral velocity, wherefore this state has to be estimated. Previous work [1] with an observer based on a single track bicycle model show promising results but with limited accuracy at high lateral acceler
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effect of housework on wages for women and men in Sweden using both linear and non-linear specifications of the effect. Furthermore, we investigate the effort and selection hypotheses, i.e. whether the effect of housework on wages can be explained by reduced effort and/or selection into jobs which are more compatible with housework. Three methods are ap
This thesis investigates how to establish the relationship between OSI layer 7 parameters of video streaming and the QoE of the user, and to evaluate which methods are most tting for the estimation of QoE. The project is made in cooperation with LTH and Acreo, and is a part of the Next generation over-the-top multimedia services (NOTTS) 7and the Eco system for Future Media Distribution (EFRAIM) p
This study investigates the relationship between income and health of individuals in South Africa. In particular it tests whether the relative, rather than just the absolute, income of the individual plays a significant part in determining health outcomes. The absolute income hypothesis (AIH) is tested and, in line with previous related research, found significant, so that individuals with higher
Sustainability communication is an emerging concept in communication practice and become organization matters in term of organizational communication and organizational legitimacy. This study is taking from a sustainability initiatives point of view on how the organization communicates their sustainability initiatives in order to gain legitimacy and stakeholder support, particularly through web-ba
NB-IoT was designed as an add-on to the LTE standard to enable wide area cellular connectivity to low-cost devices to facilitate the rapid growth of the Internet of Things. NB-IoT was found to increase the idle power consumption of the radio unit in an example LTE radio base station by almost 17%, costing the mobile network operator not only money, but also harming the environment through increase
Cubosomes are nanoparticles that are prepared by dispersing a liquid crystalline cubic phase. Typically, the cubosomes are stabilized by copolymers to prevent the colloids from aggregating. In this thesis galactoglucomannans (GGM) from softwood was evaluated as a stabilizer for monoolein cubosomes and triolein emulsions. Galactoglucomannans are the most abundant hemicellulose in softwood and have
Several findings show that dark matter makes up 27% of the universe. The goals of this thesis are to understand some of the most important evidences and candidates for dark matter, as well as how dark matter is searched for. The ATLAS and LDMX experiments are reviewed to give a greater insight into the search for dark matter. Two papers from ATLAS are studied more carefully and the data from these
When making an Integrated Chip, there is a process called contacting or bonding. In this process, the circuit is connected to the capsule. As a result, there is interference between the bond wires through inductive coupling. At higher frequencies, the problem becomes more apparent, which means that the role of frequency in interference should be investigated. By using a bonding machine and making
