I denna studie undersökte vi korrelationen mellan fallenhet till multitasking och minnesprestation i episodiska minnesuppgifter för detaljer och associationer. Hypotesen var att personer med hög fallenhet till multitasking skulle prestera bättre i minnesuppgifter gällande minnen för associationer, och personer med låg fallenhet till multitasking skulle prestera bättre i minnesuppgifter gällande miIn this study we investigated the correlation between inclination to multitasking and memory performance in episodic memory tasks for details and associations. The hypothesis was that people with a high inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regarding memories for associations, and people with a low inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regardin

Den svenska modellen kännetecknas av arbetsmarknadens parters autonomi som en långvarig tradition. Detta innebär att parterna själva i mångt och mycket är lagstiftare, domare och processförare där staten har en låg grad av inblandning. Denna modell har emellertid flera gånger utmanats sedan Sveriges inträde i Europeiska unionen år 1994 då Sverige fäste stor vikt vid värnandet av den svenska modellThe Swedish model is characterized by the autonomy of social partners as a long withstanding tradition. This means that the social partners act as legislators, judges, and litigators with a low degree of governmental interference. This model has, however, been challenged several times since Sweden’s accession to the European Union in 1994 where Sweden reiterated the importance of defending the Swe

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: How does the EU Commission approach the issue of climate justice, more specifically climate reparations? What discursive patterns and inconsistencies are present in the EU Commission’s stance on climate justice? What are the relationships between the EU Commission and actors representing the Global South on the topic of climate reparations? How d

This paper examines the impact of zombie firms on healthy companies’ growth indicators in the Swedish market. By utilising fixed-effects regression analysis and analysing a comprehensive data set, the paper aims to shed light on the dynamics between zombies’ effects on nonzombies’ development. The findings indicate that zombies have limited effects on healthy companies in Sweden. Contrary to previ

Background: For decades, aviation has been an important part of society and with its growth comes the increased environmental impact and the challenge to reduce this adversary effect and move towards sustainability. Objective: Find out how airlines can reduce their emissions and become more sustainable. Method: A literature review was conducted including scientific articles, data from Airbus and o

"My memories from Algiers - Between power and trust in Algiers' diplomatic spaces during Henric Gottfrid Brandel's accession to the consular office 1765-1768." In 1764, Henric Gottfrid Brandel was appointed consular secretary to the Swedish consul in Algiers. He would remain as secretary until late 1765 and early 1766, when he was appointed as temporary consul by the then current

The aim of this study was to explore how Swedish social workers were affected by the disinformation campaign claiming that social services take children. The study explored how social workers were affected by this in their work revolving around meetings with clients and assessments. We used a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The result is based on interviews with seven Swedish s

This bachelor’s thesis research focuses on information security. With the growing use of technology in research, information security has become an increasingly important concern for academic institutions, which face, among other, challenges related to the protection of sensitive data from unauthorised access, theft, and misuse. The research purpose was to explore the current information security

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om kvinnors känslomässiga och obetalda arbete påverkar deras hälsa. Tidigare forskning har visat att kvinnor tenderar att må sämre när de utför mer obetalt och känslomässigt arbete. Därför valde vi att undersöka fördelningen av dessa arbeten mellan kvinnor och män, och fokusera på hur det påverkar kvinnors psykiska hälsa. Resultatet visade en statis

The system of capitalist agriculture increasingly shows its social, economic and ecological failures. Some of the alternatives are based on food and seed sovereignty. However, the knowledge systems underlying seed saving practices, especially in the West African context, have been overlooked. To investigate the relation between seed sovereignty and local knowledge systems, I analyse the case study

Det har skett en förändring i attityden mot kriminalitet, i form av att oron har ökat och det skapats en tydlig vilja hos allmänheten att straffskärpningar ska användas för att bemöta problemet (Andersson & Nilsson, 2016). Sett till denna utveckling fanns ett intresse i att undersöka medias kritiska framställning av ungdomsbrottslighet. Syftet med denna uppsats var att genom en kvalitativ inn

Democracy is facing mounting challenges in today’s globalised world, with rising inequalities and unsustainable practices. Yet money creation and design are kept independent of popular control despite the substantial impacts they have on the development of society and the well-being of its citizens. Some movements have challenged this demarcation and created their own currencies; complementary cur

This thesis explores how the city of Malmö plans for the housing provision from a sustainability perspective by studying social and environmental sustainability in the urban development process with a focus on housing. The study is a qualitative case study and interviews with employees working in the municipality and a document study have been conducted. The results have been analysed through the

Big data analytics används i verksamheter för att finna meningsfulla och viktiga mönster i data. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur olika verksamheter arbetar med big data analytics. Litteraturgenomgången identifierade olika verksamhetsproblem och fundamentala element för att lyckas med data. Vidare undersöker den vad ett analysverktyg är och hur tre modeller kan appliceras för att under

With the global population projected to reach eight billion by 2022, the world faces significant challenges associated with rapid urbanization. The migration of individuals from rural to urban areas in search of improved opportunities exacerbates the strain on resources, posing obstacles such as housing shortages, infrastructure demands, and food scarcity in growing cities. This thesis aims to add

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a largely promoted, but also heavily contested solution to the problem of climate change. Whilst removing carbon from the atmosphere, it potentially leads to detrimental side effects. This thesis provides guidance for NGOs, industry and policymakers in Germany and the wider EU context on how to assess the sustainability of BECCS implementation p

Negative emissions and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) are seen as important strategies in order to reach climate neutrality by 2045 in Sweden. However, it remains largely unclear to what extent scientific knowledge has contributed to the formulation of the climate neutrality policies. This thesis investigates in what way knowledge brokers act as intermediaries in the science- po

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that is defined by a pattern of hyperactivity and/or inattention that negatively affects an individual’s ability to function in everyday life. There are a multitude of challenges in correctly diagnosing ADHD. Symptoms are primarily behavior based and there are not any good biomarkers that can be used to help clinicians to diagnose the disorder correctly

Since 2010, the Swedish railway has been open to competition for passenger train traffic. Despite extensive deregulations, the state-owned enterprise and previous monopoly Statens Järnvägar has managed to retain its previous position as the reigning actor of the Swedish railway. This thesis aims to analyse an incumbent firm's effect on an industry, targeted with regulatory interventions. It wi

Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters? Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I att
