Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
Den bakomliggande orsaken till att islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) är cytotoxisk mot β-celler från bukspottkörteln tros vara prefibrillära oligomerer. Oligomererna skapas då IAPP ändrar konformation till amyloidfibriller. Förlusten av β-celler från cellklusterna har kopplats till typ II-diabetes. Ytterligare kunskap om hur man hindrar IAPP från att växla till den giftiga oligomerformen är oerhörtPrefibrillar oligomers are thought to be the “culprit” behind the cytotoxicity of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) to pancreatic islet β-cells. The oligomers are generated in the process of IAPP’s conformational change into amyloid fibrils. The depletion of islet β-cells has been connected to type II diabetes. Knowledge of how to stop IAPP from switching into the cytotoxic oligomer form is of the
Under de senaste 30 åren har migrationsförvar (Engelska: Detention centers) blivit metoden att föredra när det gäller hanteringen av migrationsströmmarna i flera länder inom Europeiska Unionen (EU). I samband med den ökade användningen har det även skett en förändring från att stater har ett slags monopol gällande hanteringen av migrationsfunktioner till att stater delegerar (Engelska: Outsource) In the last three decades, detention centers have become the preferred method to manage the migration flow in multiple states within the European Union (EU). In correlation to the increasing use of detention centers, there has been a shift from states having a type of monopoly on migration management functions, to an increase of states outsourcing their responsibility to private companies. When st
The coherent coupling of photons to solid state emitters is one of the building blocks for future quantum technology. However, one of the main sources for non-perfect or even strongly reduced coherence of the photons is charge noise which introduces energy shifts during or in between the photon emission events. In particular solid-state emitters in nanostructures suffer from such spectral diffusio

This project aims to propose an alternative memory architecture that allows space for a society to process and heal after having experienced collective trauma. The project site and setting is my mother’s home country Chile where the military coup in 1973 and the following dictatorship is still a source of grief and conflict. The point of departure for the project is the concept of architecture
This master thesis investigates how to perform irrational decimation, the process of reducing the sample rate of a signal, for high throughput systems. The thesis work consists both an algorithmic part and an implementation part. In the algorithmic part, an algorithm that could cope with the requirements is found, and investigated due to different aspects. A group of filters that are investigate
This is a qualitative study on the characters of Ronja, the robber’s daughter and how they have been interpreted in Studio Ghibli’s anime version. It focuses on characterization from the perspective of role language and character language and how they reinforce the themes and characters of Ronja. Example sentences have been analyzed and discussed from various major characters. In summary, role lan
Recent surveys show that on average about 70% of the area budget of the system on chip (SoC) is occupied by Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)s, with a capacity ranging from a few kilo-bits to tens of megabits. SRAM (static RAM or SRAM) is a type of electronic memory that uses bistable latching circuitry (flip-flop) to store each bit. SRAM is volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventua

The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. The world international organizations and governments are devoting efforts and initiatives in a trial to manage global warming in
Den här uppsatsen undersöker den nya Spellagen (2018:1138) och dess tillämpning på loot boxes i dataspel. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka till vilken mån som den svenska lagstiftningen idag tillhandahåller ett effektivt konsumentskydd vid användningen av loot boxes. Detta kommer att göras genom en rättsdogmatisk utredning av den svenska lagstiftningen idag samt en komparativ jämförelse med aThis essay examines the new swedish gambling law (2018:1138) and its application on loot boxes within videogames. The purpose of the essay is to examine to what degree the swedish laws gives an effective consumer protection.

In contemporary Sweden, welfare professionals are mobilising to signal that they lack the preconditions to carry out their work in line with the politically stated mission and professional ethics. Following a seminar in which welfare professionals shared their views on the working conditions, this study explores action strategies for welfare professionals who seek to influence the policy agenda. T
This thesis investigates the modern phenomena of ruralisation; people leave the city for a life in a calm rural region, explained by theories of lifestyle migration, push pull effects and new expectations. During the last 20 years, migration from Stockholm to four Swedish rural regions have increased with 37 percent according to collected statistics, answering the first research question on how mi
Skyddsombudens rätt att stoppa arbetet ska användas restriktivt. Samtidigt har Corona påverkat hela världen och viruset kan innebära dödlig utgång om man inte är vaccinerad. Trots att rekvisiten för rätten att stoppa arbetet torde vara uppfyllda så meddelas sällan ett förbud ifrån Arbetsmiljöverket och/eller förvaltningsdomstolarna. I detta arbete görs en analys om varför utifrån samtliga överklag
Bakgrund: Cirka var tredje kvinna i världen har blivit utsatt för våld av en partner och mörkertalet är stort. Trots att identifiering av våld ökar betydligt när vårdpersonal ställer frågor om våldsutsatthet är det många inom vården som inte gör det. Syfte: Att undersöka faktorer som underlättar och hindrar kommunikation för identifiering av kvinnor utsatta för våld i nära relationer. Metod: I en
While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit
The European Spallation Source (ESS) has launched a project called HighNESS, with the task of investigating the potential of adding a second moderator system to the facility, with ortho-deuterium (o-D2) being the main material of interest. Another moderator material which could be of interest is hydrogen deuteride (HD). The purpose of this second moderator system would be to provide a high intensi
Owing to the intensive computation involved in the Discrete Cosine Transform during image com- pression, the design of the efficient hardware architectures for fast computation of the transform has become imperative, especially for real-time applications. Although fast computation techniques have been able to minimise the hardware computation complexity to a certain limit, they could further exten
