Sensorisk beartbetningssensitivitet (SPS) är ett personlighetsdrag som tros återfinnas hos ca 15 - 20% av populationen. Personlighetsdraget karaktäriseras av djup bearbetning, förhöjd mottaglighet och medvetenhet om både yttre och inre stimuli. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka högkänsliga personers (HSP) upplevelse av personlighetsdraget SPS. Tidigare forskning har föreslagit att HSP är särSensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a personality trait believed to be found in about 15 - 20% of the human population. It’s characterized by deep processing, enhanced responsiveness and awareness of external as well as internal stimuli. The aim of this study was to examine the subjective experiences of highly sensitive people (HSP). Research suggests that influences from the social environmen
Introduktion: Diabetes mellitus är en obotlig, utbredd sjukdom som ökar globalt. I Sverige är cirka 50000 personer diagnostiserade med diabetes mellitus typ 1, runt 7000 av dessa är barn och ungdomar. Diabetes mellitus är en sjukdom som kräver mycket egenvård. Att leva med diabetes mellitus typ 1 kan påverka patientens mentala- och psykosociala hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är at

Den fysiska delen av att spela ett brassinstrument jämförs ibland med idrottsutövande i termer av muskelstyrka och uthållighet. Precis som för en idrottsutövare kan uppkomsten av en skada bli förödande för en musikers karriär. Med anledning av detta väcks flera frågor om vilka arbetssätt som kan användas i undervisningen för att förebygga skador samt vad som går att göra om skadeförloppet är långtThe physical aspects of playing the trumpet are sometimes compared to practicing sports in terms of strength and stamina. Just like injuries may cause big problems to athletes, an injury could be devastating to a musician's career. With this taken into consideration, several questions come to my mind about which teaching methods that can be used to prevent injuries and what a teacher can do if
The purpose of this project is to investigate hole transport in p-type quantum dots formed in GaSb nanowire and operating as single hole transistors. The individual and controlled hole-spin confinement in such system yields a variety of proposed applications for spintronics or quantum computation. In contrast to more conventional n-type material system, however, p-type quantum devices benefit from
Denna studie är en forskningsöversikt i ämnet övergång mellan förskola och skola. Metodvalet innebär att forskning i ämnet sammanställts och analyserats utifrån likheter och olikheter i studiernas utfall. Sammanlagt fjorton studier har använts i genomförandet av den här studien. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka de processer som omger barnet i den pedagogiska övergången mellan försk
The quantity of biomarkers, which are proteins in this case, in ovarian cancer (OC) tumor and immune tissue regions of interest (ROIs) were measured with the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). These measurements were used to construct regression models on the biomarkers to predict for two clinical parameters; tumor type (”Type 1” vs ”Type 2”) and the immune infiltration type (”Cavities
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to
The audiobook is a format that has invaded the Swedish book market. Through it’s format it has made literature available to more people, just like the paperback did when it was first introduced on the market. By simply having the book on your phone, it’s easier than ever to take it with you and can be played while the listener does other things, such as traveling, cleaning or performing other acti
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of consumers' perception of heritage in luxury brands online. This will be investigated from a consumer perceived value perspective, with regard to the following aspects of value; social, economic, functional and affective. Methodology: An epistemological and ontological foundation guides the research approach of qualitative so
Learning attainments of children in Peru have remained at low levels according to international assessment. The country has carried out several educational policies from different perspectives aiming to raise the school achievements of students in primary and secondary education, nevertheless the levels of satisfactory attainments at the regional level show severe contrast between less and more co
This thesis deals with radar data for the purpose of moving target classification in the context of surveillance. The radar data in question comes in the form of point-clouds represented as frame-wise histograms with several channels and we seek to improve upon an existing cross-entropy based deep learning classifier using supervised contrastive loss. We find that the embeddings output by supervi
Förstärkt verklighet (AR), augmented reality på engelska, har på sistone fått stor uppmärksamhet från kända applikationer som Pokémon Go och Snapchat. AR har dessutom blivit alltmer populärt som dels mätverktyg men också för att instruera och hjälpa användare som jobbar med komplexa arbetsuppgifter. Huvud-burna AR-glasögon kan dessutom ha stor potential att assistera människor vars händer är upptaAugmented Reality (AR) has lately gained a lot of momentum with popular applications such as Pokémon Go and Snapchat. Also, AR is becoming increasingly popular as a supportive tool for measuring objects and instructing users who are struggling with complex tasks. Moreover, head-worn AR glasses can have the potential of assisting people who needs their hands elsewhere or are unable to use their han
3D city models are valuable tools for visualization and analytical purposes in the urban environment. A popular format for city models is CityGML, an open data model that can be used for storage and exchange of 3D city models. However, using city models based on CityGML has appeared to be a challenge as there is a limited number of software applications that are able to read them. Complexity in Ci
Smartphones are an increasingly important part of our lives. As services that treat sensitive information are found on most modern phones, there is a growing need for security. The common approaches of entering a PIN-code or some pattern when accessing an application on the phone is not necessarily sufficient, as they are vulnerable to different types of attacks. The embedded sensors of modern sma
The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio
Policy makers in most European countries have in recent decades reformed their pension systems with the aim of increasing labor market participation among older workers to solve the problem of an ageing population. The question arises whether delayed retirement is a sustainable solution or if it comes at the cost of certain groups in society. The reasons an individual might choose to retire are no
