Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. Research suggests that time spent in green spaces supports the beha
This study examines the case of Soft Hooligans and their significance in the supporter culture. The study aims to highlight the patriarchal structures exemplified by football stands and how Soft Hooligans dismantle these structures. The study is based on a qualitative case-study, using the multimodal analysis method and drawing upon theories of feminization of sports fans, masculinity, fan culture
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) emphasise the need of effective diagnostics tools to provide early diagnosis and disease prognosis as well as treatment. The Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) antigen is a promising biomarker in immunoassays for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis due to its elevated conce
I följande uppsats undersöktes ångest och olika sätt att tänka genom en enkät i ett försök att hitta en koppling mellan olika kognitiva stilar och ångest. Detta resulterade i ett försök att hitta samband mellan objektiva, spatiala och verbala kognitiva stilar samt självupplevd ångest i en population bestående av högintelligenta personer och en kontrollgrupp. Detta undersöktes med hjälp av en kontrIn this following essay, anxiety and different ways of thinking were examined through a questionnaire in an attempt to find a connection between different cognitive styles and anxiety. This resulted in an attempt to find connections between objective, spatial and verbal cognitive styles, and self-perceived anxiety in a population which consisted of highly intelligent people and a control group. Th
The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. Inversely, such focus from the real estate sector remains marginal. No
Theory on competition within free markets is well developed and creates a fundament on which operational and strategic decisions rest upon. Regulations, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, create a dimension which strongly affects the operations of all organisations within the industry - and thus also the competition. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the business environment and c
Den som är utsatt för hot eller om det föreligger särskilda skäl att anta att man kan bli utsatt för brott eller är utsatt för allvarlig brottslighet, kan få skyddade personuppgifter. Det finns tre olika former av skyddade personuppgifter: sek-retessmarkering, skyddad folkbokföring och fingerade personuppgifter, varav de två första är vanligast. Den största delen av de som lever med någon form av Individuals who are subject to threats, or if there are specific reasons to be- lieve that they may be subjected to crime, or are victims of serious crime, may receive protected identity. There are three different kinds of protected iden- tity: confidentiality marking, protected population register data and new iden- tity details, where the first two types are the most prevalent. The majority of t
Amelogenin is a protein which has been found to have many interesting properties. Its biological function is a key part in organizing the crystals of the enamel and it has been found to have a clinical use for periodontal regeneration. Its self-assembling properties also makes amelogenin a suitable material for the fabrication of biomaterials. The aim of this project is to investigate the possibil
This work begins by motivating why one would consider using error-based control for a numerical solver. An introduction to some of the preliminary theory for studying numerical methods is given, after which, the relevant theory pertaining to the Runge-Kutta methods and error-based controllers used in this work is covered as well. Furthermore, it is motivated why the solver is implemented the way i
Professionals working at youth homes have numerous responsibilities in supporting the development of the youths in care. However, professionals face expectations from society, their employer, and the youth themselves, all of which can come in conflict with the law and the regulations of the youth home. Balancing the expectations with the regulations can be challenging for professionals working at
The increasing focus on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the context of electrification of transport sector has raised concerns about their high costs, resource and energy demands, environmental impact, and social supply chain risks. To address these challenges and maximize the value of LIBs throughout their lifecycle, circular economy (CE) strategies, such as reusing and repurposing, are being exp
The purpose of this review was to examine and analyse existing scientific literature on juvenile fire setting behaviour and to provide suggestions for future research. The PRISMA (Transparent Reporting of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) framework was used to search and collect relevant literature. Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed were used for the literature searches, and 71 studies met
This thesis aimed to explore the binding pocket of galectin-8N and galectin-3C. Both structure-based drug design and fragment-based drug discovery were utilized in this project, exemplifying the benefits of the different approaches. Structural determination of the proteins in complex with both high affinity ligands, and small fragments was achieved through x-ray crystallography. The structures of
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide with an estimate of 2.3 million new cases in 2020, and the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in women. While survival rates are high in many high-income countries, with a five year relative survival rate of 85% and more, the respective survival rates are poor in many middle- and low-income countries, with rates as low as 12% in Kyad
This study aims to examine Russian reflexive control within the information sphere in the context of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. In particular, it examines whether Russian publicly available official and non-official Telegram news channels use reflexive control measures in its communication to a Swedish- and English-speaking international audience regarding Swedish support for Ukraine
Following the continual degradation of climate, the issue of climate change has increasingly been integrated in world politics. The European Union has itself implemented climate policies to adverse the tendency. However, the union has also given rise to the principle of free movement, a concept tightly connected to the EU’s carbon intensive transport sector. Research has shown the need for the EU
Counterintelligence is the activities and efforts aimed at protecting the intelligence agency from the adversary. This study examines CIA counterintelligence during the Cold War with a focus on defensive counterintelligence. Using a case study of convicted spy Aldrich Ames, the study sets out to answer whether there were differences in status and resources between defensive and offensive counterin
