Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter. Plotting these stars as [C/O] vs [O/H], it is revealed
Kan slam från vattenrening återanvändas hos vattenverken för en mer hållbar dricksvattenproduktion? I takt med att befolkningen ökar, ökar även behovet av dricksvatten. Hur ska man möta det här behovet på ett hållbart sätt? Jo, genom att återanvända slam – en restprodukt från dricksvattenproduktionen. I Sverige används både ytvatten från sjöar och grundvatten för att tillgodose befolkningens be-Drinking water is crucial in our everyday life. As with many other processes, it is important to produce water of drinking quality in a sustainable manner. This can occur by e.g., decreasing the amount of chemicals in the process. When producing drinking water, coagulation and flocculation are common processes. Briefly, coagulation is the process when negatively charged organic matter is destabili
Mänskliga attityder är fundamentala för att bevara jordens ekosystem. Denna studie undersökte sambandet mellan mänsklig empati och upplevelsen av samhörighet med naturen, mer specifikt, med specifika växter. Undersökningen baserades på enkäter och den statistiska analysen gjordes med rmANOVA. Deltagarna (N = 106, medelålder =32,7 SD =16,0) bedömde sin empati och upplevelse av samhörighet med naturHuman attitudes toward nature are fundamental for preserving earth’s ecosystems. This study investigated the malleability of human empathy and connectedness to specific plants. We randomly assigned participants (N = 106, Mean age = 32.7, SD = 16.0) to one of three different induction conditions, and measured trait general empathy and connectedness to nature, as well as state empathy and connectedn

The immune system is vital to the defense against external and internal threats to our health. Each immune cell subpopulation conducts specialized roles in relation to disease, thus making our understanding and characterization of these cells crucial in screenings, determining disease progression, and developing novel therapeutics. Protein biomarkers discovered through mass spectrometry (MS)-based
Som musiker arbetar jag dagligen med kontrabasen som mitt huvudsakliga instrument. Och jag hade en grundläggande förståelse hur instrumentet fungerade. Men vad är det som gör varje enskilt instrument så unikt i fråga om klang och utformande? I den kommenterande delen av mitt examensarbete redogör jag för mig själv hur mitt huvudinstrument, kontrabasen är uppbyggd genom att själv bygga ett instrumeAs a musician I’m working daily with the contrabass as my main instrument. I had a basic understanding of how the instrument worked. But what makes each individual instrument so unique in terms of sound and design? In the commentary section of my artistic research, I explain to myself how my main instrument, the contrabass is constructed by building one myself from raw material. And with this expe
The primary objective of this study was to validate the Swedish version of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short form (NSSS-S) in the Swedish population and explore its association with protective psychological factors, including self-compassion, body awareness, and body appreciation. The questionnaire survey method was used in this study, and a sample of Swedish-speaking participants (n = 164)
Syftet med denna studie är att utvidga forskningsorganet för kriskommunikation genom att undersöka hur en organisation kan använda kriskommunikationsstrategier för att navigera i en kris med sexuella övergrepp. Mer djupgående, använde studien en fallstudiemetod när det gäller den sexuella övergreppskris som den svenska tv-organisationen Viaplay mötte 2021 i det ökända programmet Paradise Hotel. SoThe aim of this study is to expand on the research body of crisis communication by investigating how an organization can employ crisis communication strategies in navigating a sexual assault crisis. More profoundly, the study used a case study approach with regard to the sexual assault crisis the Swedish television organization Viaplay faced in 2021 in the infamous program, Paradise Hotel. As such
Parental leave policies for fathers are introduced to promote father’s caregiving and gender equality in childcare. Even though the majority of father-friendly policy reforms were led by social democratic parties, a few conservative catch-all parties also proposed policies to promote father’s caregiving. How did conservative catch-all parties frame father’s caregiving when they propose policy refo
The study aims to explore the increasingly relevant and theoretically underexplored field of ridesharing as a solution for first and last-mile transportation, its success factors and challenges, as well as the process of integrating ridesharing into a public transport network. It utilizes a business model innovation framework as the theoretical basis to explore success factors as well as challenge
Målet med denna studie var att undersöka riskerna för koboltbrist och hur dess miljöeffekter kan se ut i framtiden. Detta gjordes genom att skapa tre scenarier baserade på olika framtidsprognoser gällande kobolt till år 2050. Business as usual (Scenario I), Recycling Rate Improvements (Scenario II) och Technological Advancements (Scenario III). Scenario III hade lägst koboltanvändning, 3,68 megatoThe aim of this study was to investigate future scarcity and environmental effects of cobalt. This was done by creating three scenarios based on different prognoses concerning the future use of cobalt up to the year 2050, Business as usual (Scenario I), Recycling Rate Improvements (Scenario II) and Technological Advancements (Scenario III). Regarding scarcity, Scenario III had the lowest overall c
Endometrios är en sjukdom som innebär att livmoderslemhinna befinner sig utanför livmodern vilket kan resultera i smärtor och infertilitet. En vanlig förklaring till uppkomsten av endometrios är att delar av livmoderslemhinnan pressas ut ur livmodern, exempelvis till äggstockarna, under menstruation. När detta sker känner kroppens immunförsvar inte igen vävnaden utan ser den som något främmande soEndometriosis is a benign gynecological disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age today. Emerging evidence shows that women suffering from endometriosis have an increased risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Today, ovarian cancer is treated by cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, recurrence and platinum resistance occur in pa

The identification of a permanent establishment is the principle used by the Member States of the European Union to determine whether a company is subject to the tax jurisdiction of a State. In the digital context, the notion of permanent establishment is often questioned by States, as companies can provide services remotely without having any physical presence in the territory of a State. This th
