STED Nanoscopy of Interfaces and Interactions between Nanostructure Arrays and Living Cells The specific arrangement of membrane lipids and proteins in a living cell at the interface to high-aspect ratio nanostructures (nanowires and nanostraws) is still unknown – as are the dynamic structural adaptations and molecular rearrangements of living cells in the vicinity of such nanostructures. Whether
Growing research focusing on the psychological reactions to terrorism by citizens finds that terrorist attacks perpetrated by individuals belonging to Muslim minorities increase nega- tive attitudes towards those perceived as the ”outgroup”, and especially immigrants and refugees. However, few attempts have been made so far to assess the short-term impact of these attacks. While we know that immed
Background: In recent years, fighting arts (e.g., Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Boxe) have gained broader attention due to their multiple benefits, involving both physical and psychological enhancements for practitioners. Despite that, studies revolving around specific psychological characteristics such as personality traits are scarce. This study explored potential connections between the personality tr
Problem: More information is needed on how a company can overcome hardship during stormy business cycles. Appropriate management strategies on how to get the business going as the dust settles is essential in order for a company to sustain on the market. Management in any recession is difficult, especially in today´s turmoil. Nonetheless, corporate strategic renewal is needed to mitigate the risk
As one of the main objectives of the Bologna process, employability has become a central concept to consider for universities when designing higher education. Although the universities are required implementing employability, there is no defined meaning of what employability actually is which implies a significant autonomy for university teachers in how to interpret the concept and fill it with me
”...like hitting yourself with a hammer” – A qualitative study of four former drug addict´s ways into- and ways out of addiction The purpose of this study was to describe and understand four former drug addict´s own experiences of developing an addiction and their ways towards abstinence from drugs. The three main questions I wanted to have answered were: How did the former addicts end up in an a
The principle of legality is a fundamental principle of criminal law. It grants the defendant in a criminal trial protection from the arbitrary use of state power by binding the state to certain rules and guarantees. The exercise of state power in criminal prosecutions is bound by the separation of powers, the rule of law and the idea that criminal law should provide fair warning to the individual
A recently discovered problem concerning foreign development assistance is that of its fragmentation. The concept of aid fragmentation refers to the composition of the flow of aid into a recipient country in terms of its origin. Highly fragmented aid is by definition that which is made up by contributions from a large share of the total number of potential donors. Sufficiently high fragmentation i
After World War II Sovjet took over Poland with the plan of making it a socialist state in all its meanings, religious as well. That meant changing it from Roman Catholic to secular which turned out to be harder than expected because of the position of the church. The church was a symbol of the nation and a savior of the people and the communist party understood that this would be a process of tra
This study explores the analytical and conceptual closures within political economy and degrowth literature. In order to explore these closures, poststructural theories of postcolonial and queer have been used. Derridian deconstruction has been applied to the degrowth literature to illuminate the silences and contradictions present within the texts. A deconstructive reading of the degrowth literat
Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjueResearchers have raised the phenomenon where co-workers now are ascribed a more engaged part at different organizational levels. One example is that social functions that previously have been used in external communication now have appeared in an internal context, where social intranets have become a tool for this new, co-creating part. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a case study using
Understanding the bacterial growth process – apical growth Have you ever thought about chopping yourself in half? Separating a limb maybe? If you haven’t – I don’t blame you – it would be pretty weird. But this isn’t about you or me – it’s about bacteria – and they are pretty weird. The different ways bacteria grow and proliferate are pretty diverse – one interesting, although a bit saner – is a
The role of startups in today’s economy grows increasingly more important while more and more companies engage in open source software (OSS) development. Both startups and open source projects are sources of, and rely on, innovation. As startups are typically very resource constrained and open source potentially offers low cost labour and innovation sources; the intersection of startups and OSS is
Under min utbildning i musik och pedagogik har jag komponerat musik och därigenom utvecklat kunskaper i gehör, musikteori och komposition. Under mina kompositionsprocesser har jag stött på hinder och problem som ibland gjort att jag slutat att komponera. Med denna studie har jag konstruerat och skapat ett brädspel, Kompo, som verktyg för att komponera musik. När man spelar spelet resulterar detta During my education in music and pedagogy I have composed music, and through that developed my knowledge in ear, music theory and composition. During my composing processes I have sometimes stopped composing due to different obstacles. With this study, I have designed and created the board game Kompo as a tool for students to learn to compose music. The aim of this boardgame is that the players cr
This paper highlights the complexity and ambiguity regarding the phenomenon of so called honour-related violence and oppression and explores how these matters are taken into consideration in the field of social work. In order to explore this field of study we used qualitative research as the method of inquiry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six female social workers working with pe
Akrylmonomerer i kombination med polyuretandispersioner skapar polyuretanmodifierade akrylatdispersioner, PUMAs. En PUMA är en typ av vattenbundet bindemedel som används i färg och lack. För att utvärdera hur de olika akrylaterna påverkar en PUMA, testades akrylat monomerer genom att svällas in i polyuretandispersioner. Egenskaperna hos en PUMA visade sig vara beroende på typ och mängd av akrylat.Acrylic monomers in combination with polyurethane dispersions form polyurethane modified acrylic dispersions, PUMA’s. A PUMA is a type of water borne binder used in lacquers and paints. To evaluate the effects different acrylic components have on a PUMA, swelling of acrylic monomers into polyurethane water dispersion was made for different acrylics. It showed that the properties of the PUMA can be
