Background: Previous study found that 2 batches of Nopal flour supplied by the same suppliers at different time was performing different results in in vitro studies and the quality of Nopal flour might thus be different. Besides, investigation on whether the soluble or the insoluble fraction of the Nopal flour suspensions contributed to the glycemic modulation was still necessary. Method: Compo
There are over 1.1 million small- or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sweden. But even if they have a significant impact on both the country’s economy as well as creating a majority of all Swedish jobs, the current research within competence development has in large, overlooked SMEs. The purpose of this study is therefore to fill that gap by investigating current practices and facilitation of co
I denna uppsats har jag undersökt den litteräre arketypen jurodivyj eller ”dåre för Kristi skull” och hur denna har utvecklats i den ryska litteraturen. Jag har kommit fram till att karaktärstypen kan porträtteras väldigt annorlunda från hur verklighetens exempel på heliga dårar har framställts i de hagiografiska helgonberättelserna. De underliggande skälen till denna utveckling går att hitta hos In this thesis, I have examined the literary archetype of the yurodivy or “fool for Christ’s sake” and how it has developed within Russian literature. I find that the character may be portrayed significantly different from the real-life yurodivy depicted in the hagiographic tales. The roots for this development are mainly found in Fyodor Dostoevsky, who constructed what is called the “stylized hol
As part of a sustainable energy system, Sweden has declared a target of 100 % renewable electricity production by 2040. Farmers have the potential to further this process and simultaneously contribute to a decentralized energy system. This study aims to identify drivers and barriers for the adoption of solar and wind energy production in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, it examines how policy
The increasingly rapid urbanization has led to vast impervious surface areas in the urban environment. This situation of impervious surfaces has increased the surface temperature and interrupted the natural water circle, which has negatively impacted the urban environment. Human activities' continuous greenhouse gas emission has contributed to global climate change, which has caused some atmos
District heating is a common means of space and hot water heating in Sweden. However, the demand for heating is not the same at all times. On a yearly basis more heat is required during winter, while next to none is needed in summer. Since the demand for heat load varies throughout the year, when trying to predict it, using a model that changes with the seasons can give a more accurate prediction.
This master thesis explores commercialization of electric road systems in urban environments, using a combined methods approach, in contrast to previous studies that have focused on long haul transportation. First, through interviews and document gathering, a stakeholder map was constructed, and the incentives of the identified stakeholders were analyzed. The thesis found disagreements between the
In the last decade the world has seen a massive explosion of activity in the ma chine learning field. While the benefits of machine learning are ever growing and more impressive, the drawbacks of the technology are becoming clear and can hardly be ignored. The problem with a lot of machine learning setups is that they require massive amount of resources such as computational power, data storage, t
Denna uppsats är skriven av Alicia Svärd Hernquist och Hannah Lindvall i fortsättningskursen i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier på Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsens titel är “Mina dagar här är räknade” och skrevs under vårterminen 2021 i delkurs 4, Uppsats. Uppsatsen har en grund i problematiken kring det faktum att många arbetsgivare kringgår lagen om
With this research we aim to understand the dynamics of consumers' use of cancel culture as a resource for their identity construction online. Theories included were surrounding framing, morality, consumers as moral protagonists, purity and dirt as well as distaste and symbolic violence. These theories were selected to aid with the analysis of the empirical material and to add new insight to t
Despite being their closest evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees have a substantially different brain compared to humans: Homo sapiens display larger and more complex forebrains, although the protein-coding genes between the two species are basically unchanged. Therefore, differences in the transcriptome and in regulatory networks must be further investigated to better understand the dissimilaritie
Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife
The purpose of this paper is to investigate what motivates the recidivism discrepancy between populations with: severe psychiatric disorder and non-severe psychiatric disorder. The aim is to introduce an argument for biopsychosocial influences as underlying an individual’s propensity to act, using Luhmannian systems theory. By making use of current research on social and neurological risk factors,
I denna magisteruppsats undersöks hur dialekten i romanen Machandel av Regina Scheer kan översättas till svenska på ett källtexttroget sätt. Inom ramen för magisterarbetet har utdrag ur romanen översatts, och i uppsatsen analyseras denna översättning. Dialektens centrala roll i verket presenteras i en källtextanalys, följd av ett resonerande kapitel om utgångspunkterna för översättningen. Riktlinj
The overall purpose of the thesis is to gather deeper insights into the redesign of management control systems (MCSs) following a shift in value emphasis in family-owned firms by exploring the different dynamics of the family business system (FBS). Furthermore, the research has aimed to find an answer to how a shift from family management to external management influences the value emphasis, and h
Barn som bevittnat våld i nära relationer är en utsatt grupp vars behov ofta förbises(Socialstyrelsen 2019). Såväl svensk som internationell forskning på området visar att denna form av utsatthet får allvarliga konsekvenser på både lång och kort sikt. Samtidigt indikerar andra studier på kunskapsluckor och brister i arbetet med barn som bevittnat våld vilket resulterar i att dessa barn inte får de
