Denna magisteruppsats bygger på en översättning av cirka 6000 ord från den populärvetenskapliga historieboken The Northern Conquest: Vikings in Britain and Ireland (2007) av Katherine Holman. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextsanalys som baseras på Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins modell (1997). Efter detta följer ett avsnitt om överväganden inför översättningen, där bland annat den globala översätt
Prisutvecklingen på bostäder i Sverige har under lång tid varit en framgångssaga för säljare. Med låga räntor, stor efterfrågan och begränsat utbud har priserna stigit. Sedan hösten 2017 har en oro utvecklats på bostadsmarknaden. Priserna sjunker, efterfrågan minskar och byggföretag får svårare att sälja sina nyproducerade bostäder, vilket i förlängningen kan leda till minskad bostadsproduktion. DThe price development of housing in Sweden has long been a success story for sellers. With low interest rates, high demand and limited supply the prices have risen. Since the fall of 2017, the market uncertainty has grown. Prices are falling, demand decreases, and housing developers get harder to sell their newly produced homes, which in the long run can lead to reduced housing production. The pot
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambanden mellan attityder till miljön, personlighet och empati, samt huruvida personlighet och empati kan predicera miljöattityder. Detta gjordes genom en tvärsnittsstudie där målgruppen utgjorde unga vuxna i åldrarna 18-30 som rekryterades genom ett bekvämlighetsurval på sociala medier. I studien deltog 100 respondenter och svar samlades in genom ett fråThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between environmental attitudes, personality and empathy, and whether personality and empathy can predict environmental attitudes. This was done through a cross-sectional study where the target group was young adults aged 18-30 who were recruited through convenience sampling on social media. 100 respondents participated in the study an
This study investigated the relationship between snus consumption, personality traits as measured by the Neutralized Big Five Inventory (NB5I), and future orientation assessed using the Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) scale. Data were collected from 86 university students aged 20–29 through an online survey combining the Neutralized Big Five Inventory (NB5I) and CFC scale. Results indic
The Käppala WWTP data is modelled by using WEST software to evaluate how the storm water affects the treatment plant process and to use the flow data from Ryaverket WWTP to the Käppala WWTP model in order to model. The flow estimation method which gives best results for the flow data over a long period on the low flow occurrence is 95 percentile flow estimation method. This method was used to dete
Uppmärksamhet är väsentligt i våra dagliga liv, och oförmåga att bibehålla uppmärksamhet kan leda till svårigheter i skolan eller på arbetsplatsen. Med utgångspunkt i den neuropsykologiska teorin Moderate Brain Arousal, som förklarar bristande uppmärksamhet med dopaminergisk obalans, ämnar denna studie använda den nya metoden Stokastisk Vestibulär Stimulans för att förbättra förmågan till uppmärks
The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood.

Occupancy is one of the primary contributors to the energy performance gap, defined as the difference between actual and predicted energy usage, in buildings. This paper limits its scope to residential buildings, where occupant-centric consumption often goes unaccounted for in standard energy metrics. This paper starts from the hypothesis that a simple occupant energy efficiency label is needed to
Breath-hold ECG-gated cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is challenging during exercise due to motion, ECG-problems, and lengthy scans. To facilitate time-resolved volumetric measures from exercise-CMR, we aimed to develop a method for constructing time-resolved ventricular cines from real-time free-breathing exercise-CMR. Time-resolved ventricular cines were semi-automatically constr
Structural optimization aims to find the geometry of the best performing design in a predefined setting, using mathematical techniques. The motivation for this study can be categorized into three main benefits: efficient material usage, enhancing existing designs and enabling new technologies. All of these benefits are crucial for solving contemporary technological and environmental challenges. An
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Neuroblastom är en barntumör i nervsystemet som drabbar ungefär 14 barn i Sverige varje år. Neuroblastom uppstår under bildandet av det sympatiska nervsystemet, som är den del av nervsystemet som ansvarar för vår reaktion på fara och stress. Det sympatiska nervsystemet bildas under fosterutvecklingen och de första åren efteNeuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor derived from cells in the sympathetic nervous system. In an attempt to explain the heterogeneous clinical behavior of neuroblastoma tumors, neuroblastomas have been characterized with regard to their degree of sympathetic differentiation. Their expression of genes and proteins that regulate normal sympathetic development and cell cycle/cell death regulators was a
BACKGROUND: Local pain at the site of an i.v. injection of propofol is a well-known problem, particularly in infants. This randomised investigator-blinded crossover study was designed to assess the effect of the i.v. bolus infusion rate on propofol-induced pain at the site of injection. METHODS: Thirty unpremedicated patients scheduled for ear-nose-throat or plastic surgery at Malmö University Hos
Background and purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) using a novel protocol for the boronophenylalanine-fructose (BPA-F) infusion. Patient and methods: This phase II study included 30 patients, 26-69 years old, with a good performance status of which 27 have undergone debulking surgery. BPA-F (900 mg BPA/kg body weigh
Trismus, a well-known sequelae after treatment of head and neck cancer, decreases a patient's oral function and quality of life. The main objectives of this study were to: 1) investigate the long-term prevalence of radiation-induced trismus in patients treated for head and neck cancer according to two different fractionation schedules; and 2) model a dose-response relationship for trismus. Materia
Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the best methodology for studying the efficacy of psychotherapy. Optimally an RCT design makes it possible to conclude that if one treatment has a better outcomethan another, this is due to the treatment package (TP) as it was implemented in this particular context, rather than other factors beyond the treatment (= high internal validi
AIM: To examine the psychometric properties of a modified version of the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE), for a cardiac arrest population (IQCODE-CA).METHODS: The IQCODE-CA, a 26-item observer-reported questionnaire, was completed by informants, defined as relatives or close friends, of 268 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who participated in the
This study investigates acoustic and articulatory correlates of South Swedish word accents (Accent 1 vs. 2) – a tonal distinction traditionally associated with F0 timing. The study is motivated by previous findings on (i) the acoustic complexity of tonal prosody and (ii) tonal-articulatory interplay in other languages.
