When grief finds new ways - a qualitative study about grief blogs The purpose of this study was to examine why people who suffer from grief chooses to share their experiences through blogs on the Internet. Furthermore and by studying the blogs we intended to gain understanding of the advantages and disadvantages that blogging can bring to the bloggers. The study is based on a qualitative analysis
”Evanisering”, lånat från bibliska Eva, definierar den långa utveckling av patriarkal hegemoni som beskriver kvinnor som underlägsna och sexuellt lägre stående och enligt patriarkatets krav på en tämjd, passiv och underdånig feminin figur under mannens totala kontroll. Uppsatsen är en genealogi över kvinnoförtrycket, dess orsaker och implementeringar, men tar även upp den evolutionärt kvinnliga se“Evenisation”, borrowed from the biblical Eve, can be defined as the long-developed patriarchal hegemony describing women as inferior, sexually debased, and the patriarchate’s urge for domesticated, passive and subdued female figures that are under the total control of men. This thesis is a genealogy of oppression of women, its causes and implementations, emphasizing the evolutionary women´s sexua
Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB has for the production of Optima 3, decided to replace the existing welding equipment with a new laser-welding process, to weld the spacer that keeps the fuel rods in place at the fuel box. The author wrote this master thesis for the department of Mechanical construction, MKON within the Faculty of Engineering of Lunds University. The goal was to examine Westinghous
Polymeric multilayer capsules formed by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique are interesting candidates for the purposes of storage, encapsulation, and release of drugs and biomolecules for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In the current study, cellulose-based core-shell particles were developed via the LbL technique alternating two cellulose derivatives, anionic carboxymethyl-cellulose (
Synaptic transmission is mediated by neurotransmitters that are stored in synaptic vesicles (SV) and released at the synaptic active zone (AZ). While in recent years major progress has been made in unraveling the molecular machinery responsible for SV docking, fusion and exocytosis, the mechanisms governing AZ protein and SV trafficking through axons still remain unclear. Here, we performed stop-f
From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) arrived in Sweden and sought asylum. The Church of Sweden has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. Conversion to Christianity among asylum seekers in Europe is a well-documented phenomenon that is often dismissed as merely a strategy to boost asylum chances. This dissertation
The development of a model of carbon oxidation has engaged researchers for decades. Yet many outstanding questions remain due to the inability to experimentally study the details of the oxidation. Today, novel techniques such as environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), allowing for in-situ nanoscale observations of the oxidation process, can help illuminate some of these questions. I
We present an analytical method for the in situ measurement of atmospheric nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3), an anthropogenic gas with a 100-year global warming potential of over 16 000. This potent greenhouse gas has a rising atmospheric abundance due to its emission from a growing number of manufacturing processes and an expanding end-use market. Here we present a modified version of the "Medusa" pre
The electrochemical oxidation (EO) of phenolic wastewaters mimicking olive oil mill effluents was carried out in a batch stirring reactor using Ti/IrO2 anodes, varying the nature (NaCl and Na2SO4) and electrolyte concentration (1.8-20 g L-1), current density (57-119 mA cm(-2)) and initial pH (3.4-9). Phenolic content (TPh) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals were monitored as a function of a
Dragonflies are highly skilled and successful aerial predators that are even capable of selectively attending to one target within a swarm. Detection and tracking of prey is likely to be driven by small target motion detector (STMD) neurons identified from several insect groups. Prior work has shown that dragonfly STMD responses are facilitated by targets moving on a continuous path, enhancing the
Diffusion-relaxation correlation NMR can simultaneously characterize both the microstructure and the local chemical composition of complex samples that contain multiple populations of water. Recent developments on tensor-valued diffusion encoding and Monte Carlo inversion algorithms have made it possible to transfer diffusion-relaxation correlation NMR from small-bore scanners to clinical MRI syst
As part of the IEA-SHC Task 41 'Solar Energy and Architecture' an international survey was carried out. This paper presents its results for Subtask B which especially focuses on methods and tools for solar design applied by architects. Building professionals, mainly architects, were contacted via email and asked to participate in a web-based questionnaire about their use of methods and tools for s
Episodic memories are leveraged to predict upcoming input. Latent Cause Theory (Gershman et al., 2017) predicts that after moderate prediction errors, existing memories will be updated by integrating new information, while after large prediction errors, a new latent cause is inferred, and the unpredicted event is encoded as a separate trace. To date, no study has directly compared memory updating
Classrooms are becoming increasingly digital. One novel digital technology that might enter classrooms soon is eye tracking. This is a method to estimate a person’s gaze direction and infer the point of visual attention. This technology has already provided insights into how students process computer-based instructional material. Moreover, it has been used to enhance pre-recorded video instruction
PurposeThe purpose is to increase the understanding of when a heritage in the non-profit category becomes a part of the established heritage sector, and how this can be understood with regard to the rising awareness of climate change in heritage management and recent theories within the field. The case is Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås, Sweden, which since 2022 is a listed building in Sweden.De
Procedurally, individuals do not have access to the Court, or standing before the ICJ. Pursuant to the relevant articles 34.1 and 65 of the ICJ Statute individuals cannot be parties in contentious cases or in advisory opinions respectively. Individuals can be heard as witnesses and experts but this does not transform the persons in question to parties. However the individual is not completely igno
The base of the world economic pyramid, generally called the base of the pyramid (BoP), consists of four billion people with average daily income of four dollars. Over the past several years, the design and development of products and services for BoP markets has been investigated by several authors from different disciplines. While some authors suggest a systems approach to design and develop pro
This article reports a meta-analysis based on a multiple case study of the use of learning study (LS) to understand children's learning in Swedish preschool. The aim is to investigate whether and how the LS model can be developed, adjusted and used to meet contemporary demands placed upon preschool teachers for increased content focus and improved cognitive outcomes. The research questions are (1)
Historically and traditionally, military work has been closely associated with men. However, the post-Cold War normalization process has brought about a transformation in both the Swedish Armed Forces themselves and the perception of the organization. Normative concerns, including gender equality, have gained significant prominence, compelling the armed forces to embark on various initiatives aime
