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 kondiKnowledge is needed to prevent dementia in a population with an increasing risk to develop dementia. Minimal Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a preliminary stage to dementia, but not everyone with MCI fall ill. By understanding possible triggers for dementia preventive work could become more effective. Two risk factors are depression and stress. A preventive factor is good physical fitness. The aim o
The easy way to find out whether or not there is a certain Swedish archival collection preserved in any archival institution, is to make a quick search in a free and public reference database named Nationell arkivdatabas (National Archival Database), NAD, preferably if you don’t have any clear geographical area to narrow the research. But if there isn’t any relevant result to retrieve in NAD, what
Integration of climate change adaption in municipalities is a challenge in terms of organization and cooperation. The aim of this study was to investigate how adaption to climate change is integrated into municipal work in Hässleholm, in the south of Sweden. A literary analysis was conducted. Both steering documents and political decisions concerning division of responsibilities for strategic pl
Bakgrund: Rädsla och oro är en förekommande känsla hos barn innan röntgenundersökningar. Detta kan bero på den okända miljön, främmande personal samt att de eventuellt skiljs från föräldern. Röntgensjuksköterskan ska sträva efter att lindra rädsla och oro på bästa möjliga sätt genom att tillämpa vissa metoder och handlingar. Syfte: Att sammanställa de tillvägagångssätt som kan användas innan och u
The aim of this interdisciplinary study is to consider how teachers of English as a second language (ESL) might engage with critical pedagogy through the use of literature. This is illustrated by, on the one hand, applying a Black feminist lens to Octavia E. Butler’s 1979 science fiction novel Kindred, which is argued to constitute an appropriate novel for upper secondary students to read. On the
I deponier bildas en gasblandning bestående av främst koldioxid och metan. Metan är en stark växthusgas och kan vara explosiv. Deponigasen kan samlas in och användas som bränsle. I Sverige och världen finns ett stort antal äldre deponier där de producerade gasmängderna är för små för att motivera aktiv gasuppsamling. Idag finns ofta ingen kontroll av förekomst eller utsläpp av deponigas på dessa dLandfill gas is produced in all landfills containing organic material. Landfill gas consists of mainly methane and carbon dioxide. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas which can be explosive and inflammable. Landfill gas can be collected and used as fuel, for instant for heating. In Sweden and globally there is a large number of landfills where too little gas is produced to enable active gas collect
This study examines the interaction of exchange rates between the Asian developed economies: Japan and Singapore and emerging economies: China, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand over the period January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2014. The volatility spillover is modeled through a GARCH-BEKK model. Significant results are found for unidirectional spillover from Japan and Singapore to emerging ec
Föreliggande studie syftade till att undersöka hur kvinnor upplever röstbesvär. Studien bestod av två delar. Data i första delen bestod av intervjumaterial från en anamnesupptagning och ett röstbelastningstest, avseende 50 kvinnor med och utan subjektiva röstbesvär, genomförda i ett pågående avhandlingsprojekt i logopedi vid Lunds universitet. Data analyserades kvalitativt och kvantitativt. Result
The name Upconverting nanoparticles refers to a novel category of luminescence emitters that are capable of generating visible luminescence upon excitation with noncoherent and longer wavelength monochromatic near-infrared light, at excitation fluence rates as low as 1-103 W/cm2. This unique optical behaviour is of great interest to researchers as it could potentially allow for virtually autofluor
Human interference with the climate system imposes a significant threat to the future capacity of ecosystems to sustain ecosystem services vital for food production. Agroecology is increasingly seen a way to meet these challenges. The aim of this study is to investigate if the IPCC conceptual model of Climate Resilient Pathways (CRP) could be adapted to a food system context, by illustrating an ag
I och med en ökad konkurrens på marknaden blir det viktigare för var dag att hitta nya och innovativa sätt att urskilja sig på. Smurfit Kappa Sweden AB, en ledande tillverkare av produkter av wellpapp, papper och förpackningar letar alltid efter nya sätt att tillfredsställa nya kundbehov, ett av dem var att presentera kylvaror på liknande sätt som icke kylda varor.

Smurfit Kappa Sweden AB, a leading manufacturer of cardboard, paper and packaging products desired to meet customer demands, displaying refrigerated products in the same manner as non-refrigerated products. The objective of the thesis work was to examine and develop a new kind o
This essay aims to analyze Richard Swinburne's theistic description of God and investigate whether it is excluding from a feministic perspective. The foundation of this work is built upon the contemporary religio-philosophical debate that criticizes the philosophical work that has transpired since the enlightenment for its unilateral approach and it’s excluding nature. According to current phi
Following a long-standing sociolinguistic pursuit to investigate language policy through complex non-linear models that analyze historical, structural, political and social processes that produce, contextualize, circulate and negotiate particular ideologies, beliefs and myths about languages and their values through meaning-making activities, this master’s thesis aims to apply an interpretive appr
This thesis aims to present different ways of handling the vibrations for large displacement single cylinder engines (test beds). These test beds are used for development purposes at Scania. The imbalances causing the vibrations are discretized which are then suppressed using counter weights and carefully designed balance shafts. It is found that with some unconventional designs, balance shafts ca
In recent years, several interesting wearable products which originates from smartphone technology have been introduced on the market. One of these products which has increased in interest, but not yet received a commercial breakthrough, is smart glasses. As the technology is still young and undeveloped, few players have embarked on the market and there is still room for improvement. In this thesi
The latest standard within video compression, HEVC/H.265, was released during 2013 and provides a significant improvement from its predecessor AVC/H.264. However, with a constantly increasing demand for high denition video and streaming of large video files, there are still improvements that can be done. Difficult content in video sequences, for example smoke, leaves and water that moves irregular
The main aim of this study is to answer the hypothesis that Judy Chicago's 1971 photolithograph "Red Flag", along with her academic career, can be seen as an answer to the new approach to art history and what defines art, that Linda Nochlin calls for in her essay "Why have there been no great women artists?". The analysis of "Red Flag", which depicts a bloodfille
Since the 1990-s music has become more and more polished, to the point where it is almost too perfect. Are we obsessed with perfection, both in structure and pitch? Auto-tune, playback and excessive compression are tools used in all genres, but most commonly seen in pop music. What is the fascination with everything being perfect and flawless? Is not the human part of music important today? This
