Mikroproduktion i lågspänningsnätet

Målet är att undersöka hur en ökad installation av solceller kommer att påverka lågspänningsnätet. Öresundskraft efterfrågade en rapport som undersöker framtida problem i deras nät när solcellssystem installeras i större omfattning. Scenarion där olika procentantal kunder i lågspänningsnätet installerar solceller har analyserats och simulerats. Två olika lågspänningsnät har används, ett område påThe goal of this report is to examine the impacts of integrating Photovoltaic systems in low voltage networks. Öresundskraft requested a report on what problems can arise in the future as more and more people start using PV systems. Scenarios where a certain percentage of an area will install PV systems have been simulated, as well as further analysis of the results from the simulations and calcul

A Better Version of Yourself: Sweat, Smiles and Muay Thai Tourism

This ethnographic study investigates the functions of BestFighter Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts training camp in Koh Samui, Thailand, as a successful actor in a booming self-improvement economy. In this thesis I explore the entanglements with locality and power which enable what satisfied participants refer to as augmented experiences of self-improvement. Combining theoretical concepts such as

Oligodendrocyte differentiation in development and disease

Mukund Kabbe Oligodendrocyte differentiation in development and disease Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are cells that reside in the brain and spinal cord (collectively called the central nervous system (CNS)). They wrap the axons of neurons with a lipid-rich substance called myelin. Functionally, the myelin sheath around the axon is similar to the insulation around wires for electrical devices. It prov

In Search Of The Missing Place

My research thesis is a search for a place to be, a place that would make the city an easier place to live and experience, when we are either constantly surrounded by a tumultuous public or isolated at home. My search has led me to define a place that could provide simultaneously Space and Time to bridge what is missing in both the public and the private. What is there left, not linked to commerc

On the renewable, non-renewable energy consumption and growth nexus in emerging economies: Empirical evidence from Turkey

Since carbon-emitting energy sources are the largest contributor to global warming and climate change, this present paper attempts to contribute to the current debate in energy-growth nexus in the literature. Focusing on the case of Turkey, it seeks to find out whether or not switching to a low-carbon path will be beneficial for this fastest-growing OECD economy by investigating the relationship b

YouTubers: An Anthropological Exploration of YouTube Content Creators

YouTube is today one of the most popular video hosting services on the Internet. With over a billion users all over the world it is an immensely active website. It is also a major platform for video content creators also referred to as YouTubers.

Clandestine Power Legitimised: Explaining Trust in the Algerian Armed Forces

Although there is a well-researched theoretical tradition to explain institutional trust, very little research has been done in authoritarian countries in general, and MENA countries more specifically. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by identifying the factors that explain institutional trust in Algeria, focused more specifically on Algeria’s armed forces as one of the powerbrok

Adapting Cancer Cell Lines to a Fully Defined Medium

Lately, there has been a world-wide increase in the awareness of animal cruelty e.g. in the entertainment business, meat industry, in the scientific community, and among people in general. This has called for a scrutiny of how we treat animals and in the scientific community it has stimulated research to reduce animal experiment. Experimental systems usually considered animal cruelty free, like ce

Translational control of the spliceosome under oncogenic stress

Splicing in cancer Proteins are functional molecules responsible for every biochemical process that sustain living organisms. However, how genetic information is expanded to generate amazing diversity of proteins during development and in cancer remains still mostly unresolved. The mechanism we have to account for this diversity is known as splicing. Information-containing RNA molecules, copies

Your thinking matters: Promoting climate-responsible attitudes and behaviour using the choice blindness manipulation

This pre- and post-measure interventional study attempted to create a positive attitude shift in environmental attitudes of 80 students using the choice blindness (CB) manipulation. It is a novel approach that first manipulates the participants’ answers and secondly asks the subjects to justify the answer they did not choose, to elicit attitude change. The second condition utilised a persuasive te

Perioder, punkter och parenteser. Om att översätta långa meningar, avvikande interpunktion och ständiga inskott i en kortroman av Giorgio Bassani

Denna magisteruppsats inom översättarutbildningen bygger på min översättning till svenska av en skönlitterär text skriven av den italienske författaren Giorgio Bassani. Uppsatsen inleds med en presentation av författaren och hans verk och följs av en källtextanalys som följer valda delar av Hellspong och Ledin, Vägar genom texten (1997). Därefter kommer mina överväganden inför översättningen och k

Exposure of zinc oxide nanoparticles on lung epithelium: A comparison between submerged and air-liquid interface cultures

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are often used in sunscreen and other cosmetic products with sun protection. They are also candidate to be used for various biological applications such as drug delivery, or in material science in for example solar cells. ZnO NPs are produced as liquid suspensions but also as dry powders, which increases the risk of exposure via the air. In this master’s thesis,

Levande historia: kolonialism, exceptionalism och komplicitet. En diskursanalys av svenska historieläroböcker

This paper explores discourses about European colonialism and particularly Sweden's colonial legacy in Swedish upper secondary school history textbooks. All three textbooks are currently in use and are based on the latest school curricula from 2011. The theoretical framework used to analyze the textbooks consists of post-colonial feminist theories combined with a post structuralist perspective

Gender, Drugs and Techno music: Investigation of the motivation of drug consumption among raving communities in Skåne region

Rave parties are referring to legal, illegal and semi-legal dance parties organized in various venues with the main focus on electronic dance music (EDM) performed by the DJ. These types of parties are typically described through strong community ties, which form the rave culture, and demolition of hierarchal structures among the participants, which allows the transgressive force to exist in this

Perfectionism, rumination and psychological distress in academic settings

Trait perfectionism has been linked with repetitive negative cognitions, which have been shown to influence psychological distress. This study examined if experiencing evaluation threat in the form of a demanding scholarship status will have any impact on the relationships between these factors. Sixty-seven (67.2% female) university students filled out self-report questionnaires on perfectionism,
