Human social, cognitive, and linguistic functioning depends on skills for rapidly processing action. Identifying distinct acts within the dynamic motion flow is one basic component of action processing; for example, skill at segmenting action is foundational to action categorization, verb learning, and comprehension of novel action sequences. Yet little is currently known about mechanisms that may
Wastewater from pharmaceutical industries can sometimes contain substances that could cause complications in the receiving wastewater treatment plant. This master thesis is about a phar-maceutical company and the wastewater from it. The company (McNeil) will introduce new products, and this will result in new wastewater streams with unknown properties. It is crucial that the new streams do not cau
The subject of this thesis is polygamy – marriages between more that two parties. It is a phenomenon that in the present day is most prevalent as polygyny, which denotes marriages between one man and two or more women. The thesis’ research question is Can polygamy be justified? Polygamy is justifiable, if its existence in a society is considered to be desirable. Two normative theories, both libera
Popular science summary: New approaches for treating lakes with ammonia pollution Extract of Yucca shidigera, a desert plant, has been used in aquaculture to control ammonia in the water. Microalgae has been proved effective in removing ammonia and phosphorous from wastewater of agriculture and aquaculture. Therefore, it is possible that they could remove ammonia from lakes. Hence, several fish t
Closing coverage holes during verification of digital integrated circuits is an iterative process to guarantee all parts are verified before fabrication. The time and manpower it takes to close coverage holes extend with the increasing complexity and size of a digital circuit. In this thesis unsupervised machine learning is used to cluster together related coverage holes, providing aid for a ver
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka copingstrategier socialarbetare som arbetar klientnära använder sig av för att hantera den eventuella empatitrötthet och stress arbetet kan medföra, samt beakta hur begreppet resiliens har betydelse för deras välmående. För att undersöka detta har det utförts åtta stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med socialarbetare som arbetar på olika arbetsplatserThis study aims at investigating what coping strategies social workers who work close to clients use to deal with possible compassion fatigue and stress that the work may entail. Further, we want to observe how the concept of resilience is important for their well-being. To investigate this, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers who work in different workplaces, who a
Using a case study of comment letters, our purpose is to examine the debate about fair value in accounting which has arisen in the context of the current financial crisis. Methodology: We followed a rather qualitative approach while developing a flow chart in order to categorize and analyze our empirical material. Empirical foundation: Case Study through Analysis of Comment Letters. Conclusion: Th
Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant unmet clinical need, with > 500,000 reconstructive procedures performed annually in the United States and Europe and associated costs exceeding US$3 billion. Autologous bone grafting—the current gold standard—suffers from limited harvest volume and donor-site morbidity, whereas allografts show variable integration and carry immunological and infecti
One complication in implant dentistry is the implant periapical lesion-IPL--which is a lesion around the apex of a stable implant diagnosed radiographically as a radioluscency in the bone at the apical part of an implant.The IPL can perform with or without clinical symptoms such as tenderness, swelling, suppuration and fistulation. This report describes 4 cases of IPL which were treated surgically
In the European Union policies often demonstrate considerable resistance to reform. A classic exampe is the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, which illustrates the inertia that can surround EU better than any other sector. The inertia within the CAP has often been analysed from a historical perspective using the path dependency concept as an analytical tool. This thesis suggest that this perspecti
Title: The store layouts affect on organizational culture - A case study about how changes in store layout at Däckia can affect their organizational culture Date: May 25, 2010 Level: One year master degree in Service Management, 15 credits Authors: Katarina Johansson, Nina Lemic and Elaine Wendt Advisors: Birgitta Olsson and Pia Siljeklint Key words: Store layout, organizational culture, employee
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy poses a threat to the success of vaccination programmes currently being implemented. Concerns regarding vaccine effectiveness and vaccine-related adverse events are potential barriers to vaccination; however, it remains unclear whether tailored messaging and vaccination programmes can influence uptake. Understanding the preferences of key groups, including students, coul
This paper presents a broadside antenna with three ports operating at the same frequency. The TM030 and TM003 modes of a patch are excited by two coaxial cables to generate two orthogonal linear polarizations. The patch can be transformed into a slotted SIW cavity whose TE201 and TE102 modes are jointly excited by the third cable. A matching cavity and a matching patch are introduced to broaden th
Medical waste is produced in huge quantities daily, and the increasing amount of it is a worldwide issue that makes managing medical waste more and more crucial. Leakage or improper use of medical waste can be harmful, risking the environment and human lives. The pandemic COVID-19 has challenged current practices with the increasing number of waste and the possibility of transferring the virus fro
This mapping provides an overview of different types of arenas where the two concepts Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and Blue Carbon (BC) are discussed. EbA has been defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as “The use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.” (CBD, 2009). BC
This presentation addresses questions concerning the relationship between 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles in higher music education (HME), and the transformative possibility of artistic research in conservatoire contexts. In the conservatoire tradition, knowledge and experience of music as both a craft and an art is held, transmitted and developed. Previous research shows that young students of classical
We present a novel low-cost device for scanning object surfaces based on structured LED (Light Emitting Diode) light and a single, monocular image from a standard machine vision camera. During the calibration phase we find the displacement of the imaged LED-projected marker points as a function of depth. Using this displacement data and a suitable interpolation technique, the depth of surface poin
Motor aspects of Parkinson's disease, such as fluctuations and dyskinesia, can be reliably evaluated using a variety of "wearable" technologies, but practical guidance on objective measurement (OM) and the optimum use of these devices is lacking. Therefore, as a first step, a panel of movement disorder specialists met to provide guidance on how OM could be assessed and incorporated into clinical g
