This thesis explores how contemporary Swedish Jews narrate their experiences of antisemitism. A central aim is to examine if and how the narrative norm of the cultural Holocaust memory – as formulated by Zoe Waxman – is reflected in present-day narratives of antisemitism. To make possible, the study employs a narrative discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the narrative norm of cultural Ho

The aviation sector is facing a massive change in terms of replacing the currently used fossil jet fuels (Jet A, JP5, etc.) with non-fossil jet fuels from sustainable feedstocks. This involves several challenges and, among them, we have the fundamental issue of current jet engines being developed for the existing fossil jet fuels. To facilitate such a transformation, we need to investigate the sen

Thin YBa2Cu3Ox films were grown on SrTiO3 or LaAlO3 single crystals by dc-magnetron reactive sputtering in argon/oxygen gas mixtures. Deposition temperatures ranged from 540 °C to 780 °C. After deposition and subsequent cool down, films grown above 680 °C are superconducting below 86–88 K. All films are oriented with the [001] direction parallel to the [001] substrate normal. The best films have c

A non-negligible part of the biological reactions in the activated sludge process for treatment of wastewater takes place in secondary settling tanks (SST) that follow biological reactors. It is therefore of interest to develop models of so-called reactive settling that describe the spatial variability of reaction rates caused by the variation of local concentration of biomass due to hindered sett

Importance: The nature of the genetic relationship between major depression and bipolar disorder remains unclear and might be clarified by considering disorders outside of the mood spectrum. Objective: To better understand the relationship between genetic liabilities for major depression (MD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Design, Setting, and Participants: A cohort study was conducted with data for i

IMPORTANCE: Correct diagnosis of ovarian cancer results in better prognosis. Adnexal lesions can be stratified into the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) risk of malignancy categories with either the O-RADS lexicon, proposed by the American College of Radiology, or the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) 2-step strategy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance

Water molecules play important roles in all biochemical processes. Therefore, it is of key importance to obtain information of the structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics of water molecules around proteins. Numerous computational methods have been suggested with this aim. In this study, we compare the performance of conventional and grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) molecular dynamics (MD) simula

Background and purpose — Information on outcomes after some modern total ankle replacement (TAR) designs is scarce. We therefore examined outcomes after trabecular metal (TM) TAR in Sweden by use of data from the national registry. Patients and methods — On December 31, 2020, 239 primary TM TARs had been reported to the Swedish Ankle Registry. We analyzed prosthesis survival probability, using exc

In September 2019, the third Global Climate Strike organized by the Fridays For Future (FFF) protest campaign mobilized 6000 protest events in 185 countries and brought 7.6 million participants out onto the streets. This report analyses survey data about participants from 19 cities around the world and compares it to data from an international survey conducted in 13 European cities in March 2019.

Sufficiency has long been marginalized in the public and political sustainability discourse. Since attempts to reduce CO2 emissions in the long term have so far fallen short of expectations, sufficiency has recently approached the forefront of scientific and social debates about a »good life«. In addition to a strict reduction target, the sufficiency strategy promises psychological well-being and

Joint Operations at the external borders of the EU are axiomatic for EU’s border management policy and constitute forms of collective action involving the efforts of two or more Member States for the purpose of securing the common borders. Nevertheless, participation in joint operations is based on voluntarism and guided by the principle of solidarity, which should act as catalysts encouraging MSs

Freedom of expression, including media freedom and pluralism, are at the core of the democratic processes. Media pluralism requires transparency, freedom and diversity in Europe’s media landscape. The broad perception and definition of the terms are based upon the willingness to charge media freedom and pluralism with expectations of very significant and sometimes even unachievable social and poli

This thesis examines the ejido system in Mexico in order to understand the dynamics of land tenure, governance and transaction costs through the lens of Elinor Ostrom’s theory of good governance. This case of the ejido system was chosen as their constitution that enabled a communal access land tenure regime in the agricultural sector, was amended to allow for privatization. The ejido serves as a p

The mast cell mediator histamine is involve in T2D pathogenicity Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder which is characterized by high glucose levels in blood and urine. Diabetes is one of the most expanding diseases in the world today. There are 2 major types of diabetes; type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes with up to 90% of all diabetes subtypes. Patients with T2D compose up to 150 mill

Korrosion (rost) är ett stort forskningsområde som hunnit komma långt, men fortfarande finns det mycket kvar att lära. Detta kan man se enbart genom att reflektera över de nästan 100 miljarder kronor som korrosionsskador kostar samhället i Sverige årligen. Rostfritt stål har ett vilseledande namn då det faktiskt rostar i vissa miljöer. I detta projekt har korrosion av rostfritt stål undersökts i o

Denna mastersuppsats tar fram en metod för att automatiskt hitta och rita ut höger hjärtkammare i datortomografibilder. Hjärtat är ett av kroppens mest vitala organ där en liten störning kan leda till ödesdigra konsekvenser. Med detta i åtanke är det inte konstigt att hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen. Det är på grund av detta som forskningsprojekt likt SCAPIS har vuUsing cardiac computed tomography (CT), images of both the left and right ventricle can be acquired. Potential findings of interest are for example enlarged ventricles or inadequate pumping, which can be used for diagnosis. The analysis requires that the ventricles are outlined, either manually or automatically. Automated segmentation methods for clinical use exist for the left ventricle but not f

This thesis will examine the increased amount of information made available through modern media, and how this affects the diversity in consumption. The thesis will focus on how diversity in music consumption has evolved over the years. There are two contradicting theories that try to describe the impact modern media could have on consumption, the theory of the Long Tail and the Superstar effect.

Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa den sakrättsliga problematiken kring lösöreköp genom att undersöka huruvida avtalsprincipen är förenad med tillräckligt stora fördelar för att ersätta den nu gällande traditionsprincipen. Traditionsprincipen har tillämpats i svensk rätt sedan 1800-talet. Dessförinnan erhöll en köpare skydd mot säljarens borgenärer genom köpeavtalet, i enlighet med avtaThe purpose of this essay is to throw light upon the complexity of the branch of law as regards the Swedish law of property and inquire whether the advantages of the doctrine of consensus exceed the benefits of maintaining the existing doctrine of traditio. The doctrine of traditio has existed in Swedish law since the 19th century. Before that, the buyer obtained protection against the seller’s cr
