Chlorophylls comprise one of the most important families of molecules for the photosynthetic process. Chlorophyll-like molecules have been classically interpreted under the Gouterman model, being thought to feature two independent transitions, Qy(S1) and Qx(S2). Recent studies on the matter provided a new interpretation, assuming these states to feature strong vibronic coupling and to be inseparab

The amendments for the EU anti-dumping and anti-subsidy rules in 2017 and 2018 show a great change compared to the original ones. This paper will focus on two controversial parts among them, namely the normal value construction under the “significant distortions” and adjustment on the lesser-duty-rule. Besides, lawfulness under the WTO law with these two parts will respectively be discussed. Since

Det är sedan tidigare känt att kvinnors erfarenheter ofta är underrepresenterade i forskning gällande högfungerande autism. Att belysa kvinnors erfarenheter är av stor vikt för att minska risken för att manliga stereotypa autistiska beteenden präglar förståelsen och bilden av högfungerande autism. Syftet med studien var att beskriva kvinnors erfarenheter av att leva med högfungerande autism. Litte

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur småskaliga producerande företag verksamma inom livsmedelstillverkning kan bli mer motståndskraftiga mot negativ extern påverkan i form av globala kriser. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ forskningsansats och är utförd som en multipel fallstudie med abduktiv ansats. Genom en komparativ forskningsdesign genomfördes elva semistruktPurpose: The purpose of the study is to create a deeper understanding of how smallscale producing companies active in food manufacturing can become more resilient to negative external influences such as global crises. Methodology: The study has a qualitative research approach and is performed as a multiple case study with an abductive approach. Through a comparative research design, eleven semi-s

If radar surveillance systems are installed near a wall, their radiation is reflected not only from moving objects but also from the wall. In this way, non­existing so­called ghost targets can lead to false detections. This thesis exploits such ghost detections to infer the position and extension of a wall next to a radar sensor. This is done by geometric equations only and proves especially succe

Under coronapandemin 2020 beslutade den svenska regeringen att gymnasieskolorna skulle stänga och istället bedriva undervisning på distans, vilket skedde under andra hälften av vårterminen. Detta nationella läge gjorde att gymnasielärare och elever snabbt tvingades ställa om till distansundervisning. I denna studie har jag utifrån intervjuer med lärare och elever undersökt hur vårterminens distansDuring the corona pandemic in 2020, the Swedish government decided to close Swedish upper secondary schools and instead made them switch to distance learning, from the month of March and throughout the rest of the spring semester. This national situation meant that upper secondary school teachers were quickly forced to change to distance education. In this study, I have interviewed teachers and st

I den här studien har jag undersökt hur dagens kultur- och musikskolelärare ser på begreppet musikalisk talang och hur deras synsätt jämför sig med tidigare musiklärares syn på densamma under det senaste århundradet. Den forskning jag har granskat har visat att musikalisk talang kan förbättras genom övning och inte är medfödd eller statisk. Insamling av data har skett genom en digital enkätundersö

Bakgrund: I Sverige inträffar varje år 400 dödfödslar. För att sjukvårdspersonalen ska kunna bemöta dessa drabbade föräldrar på bästa sätt är det viktigt att sjukvårdspersonalen har kunskap och förståelse för området. Syfte: Att förstå och beskriva upplevelser hos föräldrar som drabbats av en dödfödsel. Metod: Litteraturstudie med integrerad analys. Resultat: Fyra teman identifierades: Tid med bar

Så får du en lycklig hund Människan och hunden har levt nära och tillsammans med varandra under tiotusentals år och därför har hunden mer och mer blivit beroende av människans omvårdnad. Men beroendet är ömsesidigt – hunden spelar nämligen många gånger en lika stor roll för ägaren där denne får sitt omvårdnadsbehov, någon att ta hand om, tillgodosett. Relationen mellan en hundägare och dess hund When studying a child’s ability to form an attachment to a parent it has become clear that the caregiving style shown by the person giving it plays a crutial role. Four standard descriptions of such caregiving styles (secure, disorganized, anxious and avoidant) has made it possible to investigate whether the relationship between child and caregiver could be reflected by their attachment style and

New data shows that there is genetic continuity between the Scandinavian Mesolithic Ertebølle culture and the Scandinavian Neolithic Pitted Ware culture. To examine whether it is possible to demonstrate the continuity in other aspects than the genetic, this paper examines graves from three Mesolithic grave fields (Skateholm I & II and Vedbæk) and two Neolithic grave fields (Ajvide and Västerbj

As of 2020 an estimated number of 821 million people across the world are undernourished and that figure is expected to grow by 2 billion before the end of 2050 (United Nations Sustainable Development 2020). Despite this, every year over 1/3 of food produced globally is disposed of without consumption (Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition 2018), and the actual number might be

This master thesis maps and discusses the current and future needs, wishes and challenges of office workers. The resultant contextual knowledge is utilized to develop a concept of an office chair. The work followed an exploratory design process. Initially, literature and data on various topics were researched to form an understanding of the current and future working conditions of office workers.

This study analyses the representation of Monarchy and Republic in Dante’s Divine Comedy. The starting point is the puzzling fact that Dante places Bruto and Cassius in the deepest pit of Hell but makes Cato the custodian of Mount Purgatory, bound for everlasting glory in Paradise at the Day of Judgement, even though all three of them were on the same side in the war against Julius Ceasar at the e

Stray light suppression using a method inspired by lock-in amplification, called periodic shadowing, is examined and demonstrated for a measurement involving a streak camera. The experiment consists of resolving the fluorescent decay of the dye Rhodamine B (RhB) and examining both the rise and the decay of the fluorescence. A simple mono exponential model is fitted to determine the lifetime of the

A literary analysis of the novel Hemman (2018) by Magnus Dahlström using posthumanist and schamanistic perspectives.

With a far going protection of IP rights, the EU aims to protect the assets of companies which invested in innovative products. If the EU framework provides a far going mechanism of protection of IP rights, the complexity and the cost of this mechanism have been a barrier to the access of IP rights. In additional to these structural issues, the digital revolution introduced new challenges for the

In this thesis the aim is to investigate linguistic strategies of blame avoidance in two parliamentary debates about LSS (The Swedish Act concerning Support for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments). Focus lies upon how representatives from the government parties use linguistic strategies to avoid being made responsible for the many cases of decreased and withdrawn assistance. This is analy

Denna studie fokuserar på högstadiets musikundervisning och undersöker hur lärare undervisar i klassensemble. Med klassensemble så avses den undervisningsform som innebär att en helklass på minst femton elever spelar tillsammans och där det vanligen är så att flera elever spelar samma typ av instrument. Studien har två fokusområden. Det första är att undersöka hur klassensemble relaterar till diffThis study focuses on the Swedish high-stadium (grade 7-9 of the Swedish school system) music teaching and examines how teachers teach class ensembles. Class ensemble refers to the form of teaching in which a class of at least fifteen students plays together, and where it is usually the case that several students play the same type of instrument. The study has two focus areas. The first one is to
