Functional disruption of the medial temporal lobe-dependent networks is thought to underlie episodic memory deficits in aging and Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies revealed that the anterior medial temporal lobe is more vulnerable to pathological and neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer's disease. In contrast, cognitive and structural imaging literature indicates posterior, as opposed to a

The documented artistic research project (doctoral thesis), Many Maids Make Much Noise, comprises a series of artistic projects focused on the social history of the early twentieth-century British militant campaign for votes for women (known as the suffragette movement). The aim is to try out artistic and educational strategies used within that movement, as a means of ‘reading’ these practices and

The upstream ends of global supply chains – where raw material extraction or production takes place – are often hotspots for severe sustainability issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and human rights violations. Companies are under growing scrutiny from regulators, investors and civil society to ensure upstream-end supply chain sustainability. Yet, companies typically lack visibility b

Robust and rapid xylose utilization is essential for developing sustainable bioprocesses capable of converting pentose-rich lignocellulosic biomass into renewable chemicals. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a popular choice for industrial bioprocesses due to its high product yields, robust performance, and stress tolerance. Unfortunately, S. cerevisiae does not natively utilize xylose. Decades of resea

The role of natural marine aerosols in the global climate system remains understudied and uncertain. This is true for the emissions of natural volatile compounds over the ocean, the oxidation of said compounds and their impact on particle formation and particle growth. In this thesis, the emission, chemistry and aerosol particle processes relating to these compounds were studied using different pr

En varumärkesinnehavares ensamrätt medför en rätt att hindra andra från att använda det skyddade varumärket. Ensamrätten omfattar dock endast användning som sker för varor eller tjänster i näringsverksamhet. Varumärkesrätten innehåller endast exempel på vilka handlingar som en varumärkesinnehavare kan motsätta sig. Domstolarnas tillämpning av rekvisiten ”användning”, ”för varor eller tjänster” ochA trademark owner's exclusive right means a right to prevent others from using the protected trademark. However, the exclusive right only covers use in the course of trade in relation to goods or services. Trademark law contains only examples of which actions a trademark owner may object to. For this reason, the courts’ interpretation of the necessary conditions "use", "in relat

Generellt i samhället, såväl bland allmänheten som i rättssystemet, har det konstaterats att det finns en misstro mot kvinnor som anmäler våldtäktsbrott. En återkommande föreställning är att kvinnor ljuger om vad som inträffat när de anmäler dessa brott. Vidare har den svenska våldtäktsprocessen nyligen kritiserats för att innehålla negativa föreställningar om kvinnor. I denna uppsats undersöker jIn public opinion, as well as in the legal system, there is a general disbelief of those who report rape. This distrust is partially founded on a reoccurring perception that women often lie when reporting crimes of sexual violence. The Swedish legal process has recently been subject to critique for holding negative perceptions about women in rape related court cases. In this study I examine if and

Following a rapid change in the way information is shared in our society, we have seen over the last few decades a change in how libraries construct their activities in relation to the library space. Different attitudes and opinions on what should or should not be going on in the library space, and by that extension the library’s purpose in itself, have come and gone, and built on each other in th

Trångboddhet har länge varit ett omtalat ämne inom svensk bostadspolitik. År 1946 gjordes de första statliga åtgärderna för att motverka trångboddhet, som en följd av de dåliga boendeförhållandena som rådde i Sverige. En av åtgärderna var att en trångboddhetsnorm formulerades, kallad trångboddhetsnorm 1 idag, i syfte att ge vägledning åt befintligt och nytt bostadsbestånd. Enligt trångboddhetsnormFor a long time crowded living has been a well-known topic in Swedish housing policy. In 1946, as a result of bad housing conditions in Sweden, the first actions were taken to fight against crowded living. One of the actions was establishing a housing standard, today known as the housing standard 1, which contained guidelines on how many people should live at the same residence. The purpose of est

De första idéerna om hur planeterna i solsystemet bildades härstammar från den franske filosifen René Descartes på 1600-talet. Vad räknas solsystemet som - är denna teori bara kring planeterna eller hela solsystemet och dess komponenter?) Den teori som forskare tror på idag kan spåra sitt ursprung till mitten av 1700-talet, från den svenske forskaren Emanuel Swedenborg och den tyske filosofen ImmaA star forms with a surrounding protoplanetary disk after the collapse of a molecular cloud core. Subsequently, over a period of several Myr this protoplanetary disk of dust and gas is accreted onto the host star. We model the formation and evolution of such a protoplanetary disk using a one-dimensional numerical model. We find that disks form on a time scale of less than 1 Myr and that the size a

Transactions where goods are successively supplied by several businesses and transported directly from the first supplier to the last customer are defined as chain transactions. There is currently no provision in the VAT Directive which generally defines and determines the VAT treatment of chain transactions. The concept of chain transactions has been implemented by the CJEU through its case law (

There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak

In this work the impact of different drying techniques and the stomata aperture induced by pulsed electric field (PEF) prior drying on quality of the dried products was assessed. The conditions of the electroporation treatment were chosen to induce an irreversible opening of the stomata of the basil leaves. The drying times of the different drying techniques used (air-, vacuum- and freeze drying)

The current fashion system known as Fast Fashion (FF) is responsible for severe environmental and social impacts. Fashion democratisation has increased consumers’ appetite for new trends, leading fashion companies to design an increasing number of collections per year. Manufacturing is outsourced to developing countries, where workers’ rights and working place regulations are hardly respected. Add

När ett samboförhållande upphör genom den ena sambons död har den efterlevande sambon oftast ett lagstadgat ekonomiskt skydd. Detta gäller i samtliga skandinaviska länder. Uppsatsen syftar till att jämföra efterlevandeskyddet för sambor i Sverige, Norge och Danmark, eftersom skyddet i dessa länder skiljer sig åt. I Sverige har efterlevande sambor rätt att begära bodelning. Sambor med gemensamma bWhen cohabitation ceases by the death of one of the cohabitants, the surviving cohabitant usually has a statutory right to some financial protection. This applies to all Scandinavian countries. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the financial protection that surviving cohabitants have in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, since the protection in these countries differs. In Sweden, a cohabitant who

Reglerna om näringsbetingade andelar medger skattefrihet på utdelning och kapitalvinst. Genom lagstiftning 2003 utvidgades regelverket som tidigare endast hade omfattat utdelning under vissa givna förutsättningar, till att även omfatta kapitalvinster. Syftet med regeländringen var framför allt att undvika kedjebeskattning i bolagssektorn. En andel är näringsbetingad om den ägs av en association soUnder the Swedish participation exemption regime, dividends and capital gains are tax-exempt under the assumption that the shares are held for business reasons. Shares will be considered held for business reasons provided that the holding meets certain requirements while the shares are held in either a corporation or an economic association. The purpose behind the participation exemption regime is

Lately, there has been a world-wide increase in the awareness of animal cruelty e.g. in the entertainment business, meat industry, in the scientific community, and among people in general. This has called for a scrutiny of how we treat animals and in the scientific community it has stimulated research to reduce animal experiment. Experimental systems usually considered animal cruelty free, like ce
