Social relationships and group membership shape cognitive functions, including memory. One memory function contributing to knowledge acquisition is the ability to draw novel conclusions by linking overlapping but distinct episodic memories, a process called associative inference. Prior research shows that both general memory and associative inference for arbitrary objects are enhanced when materia
The modern construction industry is heavily resource-intensive, generating billions of tons of waste annually and contributing significantly to global carbon emissions. While recycling initiatives have grown, low-grade demolition debris such as broken bricks are systematically downcycled rather than reintegrated into structural architectural components due to their inherent heterogeneity and irreg
The need for development of novel drugs towards the treatment of neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and cancer is ever-pressing, especially within aging populations. Designing an effective drug towards these normally hard-to-treat conditions requires careful balance between uptake, solubility, and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability, while stil
Arbetet undersöker möjligheterna att använda prefabricerade cut-and-cover-tunnlar i betong med välvda tvärsnitt inom svensk järnvägsinfrastruktur. Cut-and-cover-tunnlar byggs främst som platsgjutna konstruktioner vid grundare anläggningsdjup där jord eller sand är det omgivande materialet. Vid prefabricerade cut-and-cover-tunnlar schaktas en sträckning ut där betongtunneln placeras och monteras ihThis thesis investigates the potential of using prefabricated concrete cut-and-cover tunnels with arched cross sections in Swedish railway infrastructure. Cut-and-cover tunnels are primarily constructed as in-situ structures at shallow installation depths where soil or sand constitutes the surrounding material. In prefabricated cut-and-cover constructions, an excavation is made along the alignment
The consistent mental health disparities between LGBTQ+ and cis-hetero populations are commonly explained by minority stress theory. However, no previous research has investigated the impact of the more subtle, but pervasive influence of perceived societal heteronormativity, signaling non-belonging and otherness. The present study tested a conceptual path model linking perceived societal heteronor
Abstract: Influence of Carboxypeptidase B corona on polystyrene nanoparticles on the toxicity for Daphnia Magna Florian Grohmann Introduction: This project investigated the expression, purification and influence on the toxicity, of small polystyrene nanoparticles (53 nm) on Daphnia Magna, of Carboxypeptidase B. Background: Nanoparticles have become increasingly of interest for the science communi
This master’s thesis has examined the feasibility of an accumulator-based actuation method for the BorgWarner (BW) electric torque vectoring and disconnect (eTVD) system. The requirements for the proposed concepts were defined based on the performance of the baseline eTVD and served as reference criteria throughout the development process. A strong emphasis was placed on reducing system complexit
This thesis analyses how welfare, entitlement and welfare subjects are discursively constructed in the policy process surrounding the proposed qualification requirements for social insurance benefits and financial assistance, as part of the Swedish social benefit reform, ‘bidragsreformen’. Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of discourse analysis, the study examines the governme
Konsumtion handlar inte enbart om att köpa varor och tjänster, utan också om att kommunicera vem man är eller vill vara. I takt med att sociala medier har blivit en mer central del av många unga vuxnas vardag aktualiseras frågan om hur digitala konsumtionsideal får betydelse för identitetsskapande. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur konsumtion fungerar som ett medel för identitetsskapand
Mandatory B2B e-invoicing is expanding across the EU under a shared harmonisation agenda, yet Member States have adopted substantially different governance arrangements for how invoices are exchanged, validated, and reported. This thesis investigates how regulation affects the implementation of mandatory B2B e-invoicing and how governance model variation shapes the conditions organisations face du
Granulation converts fine powders into granules with desired physical properties, minimising dustiness, ingredient segregation, and handling hazards. Within Novonesis solid enzyme products, granulation enables higher enzyme activity and stability while preventing dust release. This thesis focused on high shear wet granulation, a complex process associated with high variability, influenced by equip
As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into organisations, its negative environmental impact is also growing. Despite this, such impacts remain limited from sustainability reporting. This study examines how organisations navigate the lack of established information infrastructures for reporting the environmental impact of generative AI. Using a qualitative approach based on semi-structur
Denna uppsats är en undersökning av fem för språkvård- och forskning relevanta kvantitativa grammatiska variabler i svenska tidningsartiklar och lärobokstexter, samt på svenska myndighetshemsidor. Syftet är att jämföra med Margareta Westmans undersökning Bruksprosa (1974), för att på så vis kunna säga något om hur genrerna utvecklats samt att erbjuda språkvården moderna jämförelsesiffror. Variable
FinTech payment solutions have become an embedded part of Generation Z’s everyday life in Sweden, yet how trust is formed among these users remains unclear. Existing research often treats trust as a unidimensional construct and assumes that greater knowledge leads to more informed behaviour. This qualitative study investigates how the interaction between digital fluency and digital literacy shapes
Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie
By investigating feminised lifestyle trends such as the ‘Clean Girl’ and ‘Trad Wife’, this research seeks to unpack the distinct identity tensions young women experience when navigating the contradiction between the ideal of ‘consuming less’ and the continuous consumption required to perform these lifestyles online. The empirical material is analysed through an integrated theoretical framework com
This study investigates if socio-economic indicators can reliably be derived from remotely sensed data and can serve as proxies for detecting and monitoring the spatial impacts of the violent conflict in the Mopti region of Mali. Traditional conflict event databases - like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) – provide point-based event data but often fail to capture gradua
Denna studie undersöker hur användningen av generativ AI påverkar systemutvecklares arbetssätt och professionella roll. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i att AI-verktyg i allt större utsträckning används för kodgenerering, felsökning och lösningsförslag, vilket förändrar relationen mellan mänskligt arbete och tekniskt stöd. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma systemutvecklare analyseras h
