Det saknas tester som mäter hur arbetsminnets kapacitet varierar hos barn med typisk utveckling. Studien avser att undersöka arbetsminneskapaciteten genom modifiering av två befintliga arbetsminnestester, crosslinguistic nonword repetition test (CL-NWRT) och sifferrepetition “running”. Tidigare har testerna visat på takeffekt hos barn med typisk utveckling. För att komma ifrån takeffekten behöver Current working memory assessments lack sensitivity to individual differences in children with typical development. This study aimed to investigate working memory capacity by modifying two existing working memory tasks: the crosslinguistic nonword repetition test (CL-NWRT) and the digit span task "running". Previous research has demonstrated a ceiling effect in the results of these asses

For decades there has been a push to bring museums into alignment with current thought on how history can be shared in a way that is more relevant for society today. This thesis draws on recent thought and theories of practice in museums that coincide with these shifting perspectives, centering on the questions of how museums are already acting as de facto human rights duty-bearers, and how they m

Kvantmekaniken är den fysik som beskriver våra minsta partiklar - en mikro-skopisk värld där fenomen som inte alls är naturliga i vår större värld existerar. Genom att undersöka "interferens", ett fenomen som endast vågor och inte partiklar kan ha testar vi kvantmekanikens lagar med attosekundfysik. Människan har länge försökt förstå hur världen fungerar, redan i antikens Grekland fundeQuantum mechanics is used to describe the world at the microscopic scale and below. It is also the theory that has been the most debated but also the one whose predictions has been tested with the highest accuracy. This theory relies on a set of postulates that lay the foundations for all its predictions. One of these postulates is Born’s rule, which defines the probability to measure a quantum sy
