The aim of this essay is to make clear, whether or not, textile research is visualised in a wider archaeological discussion today. The aim is then to discuss what the archaeological and textile technological research situation in Scandinavia looks like today, and how that relate to what has happened in these two research fields during the years. This essay also has a purpose to find out if there i

Molasses is a low value by-product from sugar production that is usually used for animal feed, bioethanol fermentation, and yeast growth substrate. Even though it is a by-product and most of the sugar have been taken out the molasses still contains a fair amount of sugar that can be used for production of HMF, a biobased platform chemical with many areas of application, for example as a feedstock

In times of political divisiveness, Corporate Political Advocacy (CPA) has emerged as a commonly used communication strategy whereby brands voice support for socio-political issues. Despite its increasing prominence, research of CPA in the field of strategic communication is scarce. Therefore, this qualitative study examines BrewDog, a company inclined to engage in conversations that hold strategi

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykologers attityd och kunskap avseende transpersoner och icke-binära, samt hur det påverkar bemötande. Med utgångspunkt i binäritet och icke-binäritet studerades detta utifrån ett socialpsykologiskt perspektiv med integrering av genusvetenskaplig teori. Studien var en mixed methods design då den hade både en kvantitativ samt kvalitativ datainsamlings- ocThe aim of this study was to examine the attitude and knowledge of psychologists in regard to transgender and non-binary people, and how it affects their treatment. Based on gender binary and non-binary this was investigated by integrating the main perspective of social psychology with gender studies. This study was a mixed methods design, producing and analyzing both quantitative and qualitative

As the threat from the climate crisis becomes ever more apparent and shows few signs of stopping alternative development models become interesting. Driven by an interest of examining such alternative solutions, this paper studies degrowth due to it being a challenging alternative to currently applied growth-based models of development that see progress as linked to economic growth. This paper exam

My aim with this essay is to study unit managers experiences of leadership within social work. My intention is to gain knowledge about their management plans, reasoning about change and resistance within the organization. I have assumed a qualitative approach and conducted semi-structured interviews. I have interviewed five unit managers who work in social work, about leadership, change and resist

In addition to its complex structure, the cerebral cortex has multiple functions exclusive to humans. Unfortunately, it also plays a crucial role in multiple neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Although we know very little about human-specific gene regulatory mechanisms during brain development, non-coding RNAs are evolutionarily non-conserved, evolve faster, and are highly expressed in

This thesis deals with the significance of institutional structures and their outcomes when combating corruption. It investigates Rwanda's outstanding progress in implementing anti-corruption policies and building strong institutions to fight corruption. Concepts such as the quality of government and good governance has been used to explain the country’s success within the anti-corruption fram

This thesis is devoted to the analysis of the I-V properties of axial InP pn-junction nanowires made for solar cell application. A novel method has been used to measure the I-V characteristics very accurately and reproducibly, using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM is used to first image the nanowires from top and then form a low resistive point contact between the STM tip and an indiv

Volunteers fill an important function in the social work that constantly and in various ways goes on in our society. Without the volunteers' involvement there is a risk that many more people fall between the cracks than actually do, even in the Swedish welfare state. Since volunteers are people whose resources are finite, it is important to gain insight into what motivates, encourages and even

Various Helicobacter species have been isolated from the stomach, intestinal tract and liver of a variety of mammalian and some avian species, and Helicobacter DNA has been detected in human bile and liver samples. An immunoblot assay was established to analyse serum antibody responses to non-gastric Helicobacter species in patients with autoimmune liver diseases, in comparison with healthy indivi

Vocal tract area functions estimated from 38 sets of X-rayed vowel articulations collected from the literature and from new X-ray motion films of English and Arabic speech reveal four constriction locations: along the hard palate, along the soft palate, in the upper pharynx and in the lower larynx. Each location is appropriate for a definable class of vowel qualities, confirming the quantal nature

I höst kommer rymdobservatoriet Gaia att sändas upp. Ett av dess mål är att mätapositionen av stjärnor med väldigt hög noggrannhet, denna positionsbestämning kallas astrometri. Gaias noggrannhet är såpass bra att det kommer bli möjligt att även mäta hur planeter när de färdas i sina banor runt stjärnor påverkar positionen av stjärnan. Astrometri kan inte ge en fullständig bild av hur planeten rörContext: The Gaia satellite will be provide astrometry with micro-arcsecond accuracy. This will allow for the determination of the orbital elements of exoplanets with measurable astrometric signature. Astrometry alone is not be able to disentangle an ambiguity in the orientation of planetary orbits, just as radial velocity is only able to give the mass of orbiting planets combined with multiplicat

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Evolution av stabilitet i ett rovdjur-bytessystem För att göra en matematisk modell av hur rovdjur och byten växelverkar med varandra ställer man upp varsin ekvation för populationernas tillväxthastighet. Dessa beskriver hur rovdjuren och bytena beror av varandra och tiden. Eftersom rovdjuren är beroende av att äta byten för att överleva påverkar de bytespopulaAbstract This master's thesis aim to see if fluctuations in the environment can make a stable predator-prey system naturally evolve into an unstable system. In the paper “Prey adaptation as a cause of predator-prey cycles” (Evolution, 1997), Abrams and Matsuda uses numerical methods to investigate the stability properties of a predator-prey system and looks at the effect that the unstable pop

Denna uppsats syftar till att granska och diskutera kriminaliseringen av – och tillämpningen av straffrätten på – HIV-smittade personers sexuella kontakter där HIV-smitta överförs, eller riskerar att överföras, från en person till en annan. Upprätthållandet av ett straffhot avseende gärningar med grund i HIV är en kontroversiell fråga, i vart fall inom HIV/AIDS-arbetet på internationell nivå. Sver

The municipality is planning for the citizens and therefore the citizens should be one of the primary tools to use during the planning process. In this thesis were going to analyze a project, Fokus Dalby. It´s a project that helps the citizens of Dalby to take part in the planning process of their own community. The views of the citizens should be a critical factor in the planning process since th

Prehistorical musical instruments have been explored in archaeology more systematically since the 1970s when music archaeology was established as a field of study. The new awareness initially led to studies centred on retrieving musical instruments that had been missed and were now lost in archives. New discoveries, too, are very object-oriented. This master’s thesis ties together individual finds

The right to control the distribution is tied to tangible objects. Exhaustion of the distribution right limits the rights-holder distribution right and is named the exhaustion principle.
