Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. The specific reasons why TEs are associated with
One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. Here, I explore how the diversification
The genetic causes of familial breast cancer are still unclear, where only less than 20% have evident germline mutations. Most studies focus on mutations that cause a direct impact in the protein, disregarding the synonymous variants, where the codon is changed but the amino acid encoded remains the same. Synonymous variants can affect mRNA stability and translation, by differences in codon usage
Despite the extent of research on domestic violence, few studies have been conducted on the partner violence to which boys are subject to girls in Sweden. The purpose of my paper was to analyze what support-seeking violent boys choose to talk about when they talk to a support service. Furthermore to investigate how they feel and reflect on their actions and how they relate to change in their relat
In this thesis, we explore the possibility to monitoring hyperkinesia in people who suffer from Parkinson's disease (PD) using sensors in mobile phones. This is done by first collecting data from 25 patients diagnosed with PD by using a sensor-recording smartphone in a bag attached to the stomach, and at the same time let trained professionals make assessments of the degree of which they show
Although the topic of sustainability communication has been extensively studied since the 1970s, there remain gaps and contradictions, e.g. the effectiveness of communication strategies for influencing individual pro-environmental behaviour change. This study continues this discussion: the purpose was to identify what communication interventions are most effective for changing individual intention
Principen om pacta sunt servanda som innebär att avtal ska hållas är en huvudregel inom avtalsrätten. Det finns undantag från denna huvudregel som kan tillämpas vid ändrade förhållanden. När parterna ingått i ett avtal kan det inträffa ändrade förhållanden. Frågan som uppkommer vid ändrade förhållanden är vilka tillvägagångssätt som parterna kan tillämpa för att uppfylla sina avtalade förpliktelseThe main rule in contract law is the principle of pacta sunt servanda which means that agreements must be kept. There are exceptions that could be applied in case of changed circumstances. When the parties have entered into an agreement, in advance it is difficult to predict changes that may affect the parties. The question that arises in the event of changed circumstances is which approach the pa
Denna undersökning ämnar att studera narkotikadiskurserna i Sverige de senaste åren. Syftet är att få en uppfattning om hur språket och diskurser kan användas för att konstruera den sociala verkligheten och ge exempel på hur samhället förhåller sig till och konstruerar avvikande beteenden. För att uppnå syftet avser undersökningen besvara frågeställningar om hur man skriver om narkotika, huruvida
This study aims to increase knowledge about how social workers within child welfare experience their psychosocial work environment. To achieve our purpose, we have chosen a qualitative method. The empirical material has been collected through semi-structured interviews with six social workers at a social welfare office in the city of Malmö, Sweden. The theoretical frameworks used to analyze the re
This study aims to examine the relationship between the gender of the CEO and target firm risk in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Sweden. Previous research has shown that there may be differences in risk attitudes and behavior between men and women, which could affect their decision-making processes in M&A transactions. However, little research has focused on the relationship between CEO
Paediatric tumour in brain and spinal cord is the second most common form of cancer in childhood. Previous research has shown inconclusive results regarding the neurocognitive outcomes of patients treated with surgery alone. The purpose of this retrospective, longitudinal study, was to explore the trajectories of neurocognitive functioning for these patients. Participants (N=107) with a paediatric
The purpose of this essay is to investigate the attitudes of Swedish citizens towards the amount of migration. Furthermore, how these attitudes relate to whether the citizen believes that migration makes Sweden a better or worse country to live in. Through a discourse analysis, investigate whether the attitude portrayed by the media matches the statistical results and how these relationships diffe
Barn och unga i åldrarna 15-20 år är den åldersgrupp i det svenska samhället som begår flest brott i förhållande till gruppens andel av befolkningen. Forskningen visar att ungdomsbrottsligheten har legat på en stabil nivå och till och med minskat de senaste åren. Trots den till synes positiva statistik där kriminaliteten bland unga tycks minska så ser vi en samhällsutveckling där brottsligheten krChildren and young adults between the ages of 15-20 are the age group that commits the most crimes in relation to their proportion of the population in Sweden. Studies have shown that youth crime rates have remained stable or even decreased in recent years. Despite this positive trend, there is a growing concern that criminal activity is becoming increasingly prevalent among younger age groups. In
Arbetsgivaren har rätt att leda och fördela arbetet för sin verksamhet. Arbetstagaren har samtidigt en skyldighet att utföra arbete för sin arbetsgivare som arbetstagaren sedan betalas tillbaka i form av lön.

At the same time the employee has an obligation to carry out work for his employer in exchange for payment in the form of salary. On the other hand the employer may not order the employee to carry out all forms of labor or decide where the employee shall carry out the work. The essay clarifies what the employer’s wo
Syftet med studien är att undersöka fyra HR-konsulters erfa-renheter och upplevelser av att arbeta med kompetensbase-rad rekrytering i Malmö stad, vilket utförts genom en kvali-tativ studie i form av fyra enskilda semistrukturerade inter-vjuer. Dessa fyra intervjupersoner har utifrån erfarenheter och upplevelser definierat begreppet kompetensbaserad re-krytering, beskrivit upplevelsen av införande
When we first encounter past traumatic experiences in ourselves, we are left with a conundrum; how are we to move forward in our everyday lives and thrive, rather than just cope and survive? By participating in the Belly2Belly ritual, providing analytical reflections and a detailed account from an auto-reflexive perspective, I attempt in this thesis to show, through the Belly2Belly ritual, how par
The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze school counselors' understanding of the phenomenon of hemmasittare and their work with these students. To accomplish this study we had a qualitative approach and conducted six semistructured interviews with school counselors who worked in Swedish compulsory schools. One of the participants was found by a snowball selection and the rest of th
The aim of this study was to examine how people with disabilities are described in Swedish newspapers and how these descriptions relate to the theory of stereotypes and stereotyping. Two research questions were answered: 1) How are people with disabilities described in Swedish newspapers? And 2) how do these descriptions contribute to upholding or challenging stereotypes about people with disabili
This paper examines the impact of the Paris agreement on firms on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the firms were also categorized into sustainable and unsustainable firms by their Environmental Pillar Score (which is part of the ESG score) in order to investigate performance differences between the two groups. On top of that, a comparison between sustainable firms with the market index OMX
The purpose of this study is to distinguish and understand the challenges of working within Swedens' National Board of Institutional Cares juvenile institutions and how the treatment assistants handle these challenges. Treatment assistants who work at SiS (Statens institutionsstyrelse) juvenile institutions are their shifts locked in with juveniles who have a wide range of norm-breaking behavi
