Plattektoniska processer formar idag vår jord genom vulkanism, relaterad till divergenta och konvergenta plattrörelser. Hur länge har plattektoniken existerat och hur kan vi spåra plattektoniska processer bakåt i tiden? Detta kandidatarbete behandlar och diskuterar olika typer av plattektoniska indikatorer, hur de går att koppla till moderna processer och hur tillförlitliga de anses vara. Moderna Plate tectonic processes shapes our earth due to volcanism, related to divergent and convergent plate motions. When did plate tectonics begin and how can we trace plate tectonic processes throughout time? This Bachelor thesis address and discuss different plate tectonic indicators and their reliability. Modern analogues are indicators that can be linked to modern plate tectonic processes, and does

It has been stated that transgender youth are at higher risk of violence, physical and mental health problems than other youth. High schools has the goal that equality and respect towards all students should be excercised. The strategy to attain this goal is to use normative criticism as approach in courses tought by teachers and generally around the school. This study aims to investigate how the

This diploma work has been performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey, a company supplying catalysts and technologies, such as formaldehyde plants and catalysts. The aim of the master thesis project was to investigate if and how water impacts the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over a FeMo-catalyst. The investigation covers how water affects the selectivity to the main product a

Det behövs kunskap för att förebygga demens i en population med förhöjd risk för demenssjukdom. Minimal Cognitive Impairment (MCI) är ett förstadium till demens, men långt ifrån alla med MCI insjuknar. Genom att förstå utlösande faktorer för demens i denna population kan förebyggande arbete effektiviseras. Två identifierade riskfaktorer är depression och stress. En förebyggande faktor är god kondi

The aim with this study is to investigate the disadvantages and advantages with ADHD medication for adults with both an ADHD diagnosis and an addiction to alcohol or drugs.

All food production has a significant environmental impact, and regardless of whether the produced food is eaten or not, it affects several of Sweden’s environmental quality objectives. Information from 2003 shows that the food consumption in Sweden is responsible for about 20 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, or approximately 2 tons of carbon dioxide per person and year. The avoidable f

In this article, a framework for hadronic rescattering in the general-purpose Pythia event generator is introduced. The starting point is the recently presented space–time picture of the hadronization process. It is now extended with a tracing of the subsequent motion of the primary hadrons, including both subsequent scattering processes among them and decays of them. The major new component is cr

This study investigates how the debt levels of firms belonging to the Nordic market change over time and what determines these changes. We find that contemporaneous changes in leverage are mainly determined by profitability, market timing, leverage deficits (deviations from target leverage) and changes in targets. We find two factors whose effects persist for at least ten years, namely profitabili

The paper was done accordingly to the quality method and we interviewed six clients and three social workers. Our conc

RNA interference (RNAi) has recently been discovered in the budding yeast Saccharomyces castellii. As in other organisms, artificial RNAi could be a useful genetic tool in budding yeast, but the method needs first to be established. S. castellii is also a useful model for telomerase studies, and a knockdown of the telomerase catalytic subunit Est2p could be a new way of unrevealing its functions a

The objective of this paper is to find out whether economic circumstances can have an impact on the level of risk aversion using a sample of data from the Netherlands. The testing strategy is based on the DNB Household Survey, which is issued by CentERdata. Launched in 1993, this database contains panel data up until the year 2011. Using such data allows for the study of psychological as well as e

Existing LLM-based approaches remain limited by simplistic task execution, restricted tool integration, and a lack of contextual reasoning when interacting with professional GIS software. This study investigates the efficacy of a multi-agent architecture designed to enhance geospatial task execution accuracy through collaboration, reasoning and tool-use. The architecture integrates Chain of Though
