Målet med denna studie är att undersöka betydelsen av det diagnostiska värdet hos en ledtråd, en så kallad “cue” framför värdet av ett kontextuellt överlapp mellan inkodning och framplockning av minnen. Ett minnestest grundat på ledtrådsbaserat igenkännande, så kallat “cued recognition”, genomfördes. Samtliga deltagare presenterades för ordpar tillsammans med kontextuella bilder i tre betingelser,The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of a diagnostic cue over the mere contextual overlap between encoding and retrieval in successful retention. A cued recognition test was conducted to investigate the power of a contextual cues diagnostic value in successful retrieval of memories. Participants were presented with word pairs together with a picture background in three different

European oceans are in a poor state – only 10% of marine habitats and 2% of marine species show favourable conservation status. This is largely attributed to an intense pressure from industrial human activities at sea. The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) from 2008 is an attempt to better protect marine environments in the European Union (EU) by enforcing an Ecosystem-Based Management (E

Severe obesity during childhood is associated with cognitive deficits. Studies in adults have suggested improvements in executive functioning and memory after bariatric surgery. Our aim was to explore changes in cognitive function in adolescents over two years after bariatric surgery or intensive non-surgical treatment. Methods: The Adolescent Morbid Obesity Surgery 2 (AMOS2) is a multicentre, ope

Experimental studies have shown that remodelling of the atrial myocardium is linked to the occurrence and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Clinical evidence, however, is insufficient. We recorded monophasic action potentials (MAP) during AF from one to three sites in the right atrium in seven patients with chronic AF (CAF) and in 11 patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF). The fibrillatory (FF)

There is a serious need in the automotive industry to predict surface defects in outer panels. Measures to prevent these defects can not be taken until a test part has been manufactured. This costs a lot in time and money. Within the present project stamping tools for a model part resembling the area around the fuel filler lid was developed. This is an area of the outer surface of a car, which is

There is a paucity of diagnostic instruments for adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R), an 80-item self-rating scale designed to assist clinicians diagnosing ASD in adults. It was administered to 75 adults with ASD and 197 comparison cases. Also, a subse

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a serious matter which threatens maternal and fetal health. The aim of this study was to develop a grounded theoretical model of women's experience of IPV during pregnancy and how they handle their situation. Method: Ten interviews with women who had experience of being exposed to IPV during pregnancy were analyzed using the grounded

The enunciation of the principle of equality and non-discrimination is of fundamental source in international human rights laws and EU-law and has a prominent place in the Icelandic constitution. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are based on various legal concepts that have evolved mainly in international and regional human rights or equality jurisprudence. International legal pro

Stockholm har under de senaste åren visat stora hyresökningar på kontorsmarknaden samtidigt som bostadsmarknaden har avsvalnat. Även fast Sverige placeras bra i avseende på flera mått såsom vakans och BNP har städer som också haft bra tillväxt i BNP och låg vakans inte uppvisat lika hög hyrestillväxt. Den här studien undersöker fallet om bostadsmarknaden har påverkat kontorshyrorna i Stockholm. OmIn recent years, Stockholm has shown a large rent increases in the office market simultaneously as the housing market has cooled off. Although Sweden is well measured in several areas such as vacancy and GDP, other cities that also produced significant GDP growth and low vacancy rates have not shown as much rental growth as Stockholm. This study examines if and how the housing market has affected

This thesis draws upon social movement theory to explore the impact of the Ni Una Menos protest in Chile. In October 2016 thousands of people took the streets of the capital Santiago to protest the wave of recent femicides in Chile. The Ni Una Menos protest gained widespread attention and mobilized activists from all divisions in the women’s movement. The material of this case study was gathered t

On October 28, 2021, Mark Zuckerberg announced the rebranding of Facebook to Meta through a keynote video uploaded on Meta’s official YouTube channel. The keynote video contains Meta’s new vision to build an immersive extended reality world called metaverse. However, the idea of the metaverse is contested. Meta’s metaverse has also been a hot debate in Indonesia for several months after Meta’s reb

This study aims to identify the key leverage points of local tourism on Öland in which work can be initiated to bring about a more sustainable development of the tourism industry. To achieve this, an analysis was made of the tourism industry on Öland, and a methodological framework called The Öland Model developed for the initiation of a project to stimulate thinking among the actors on the island

Parternas tillgång till bevis i skiljeförfarande är ofta avgörande för tvistens utgång. I synnerhet är anskaffningen av skriftlig bevisning essentiell då den av skiljenämnden generellt tillmäts ett högre bevisvärde än övriga bevismedel. Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om parter i ett skiljeförfarande som äger rum i Sverige kan anskaffa erforderlig bevisning utan att tidsåtgåThe parties’ access to evidence in arbitration is of major importance to the outcome of almost every dispute. The taking of documentary evidence is of particularly importance because of the high evidential value it is given by the arbitrators. The main purpose of the essay is to determine if the parties to arbitration in Sweden can gather adequate evidence without having to spend too much time and

Greece in a period of financial crisis (2008-2013) is questioning the success of its policy implementation. The training centers for the intellectually disabled, as implementers of policies and programs on a national and European level, also question that success. Using Foucault’s concept of power relations within society, it is aimed to find whether policies and programmes for the intellectually

The share of transport sector green house gas emissions has been increasing in the EU-15 in the recent decades. Moreover, the development in passenger and freight transport subsectors has diverged. This thesis provides drivers of freight transport carbon emissions in the EU-15 between 1995 and 2008 by conducting Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition. It differentiates between structure, inte

A search for non-resonant Higgs boson pair production, as predicted by the Standard Model, is presented, where one of the Higgs bosons decays via the H→bb channel and the other via one of the H→WW⁎/ZZ⁎/ττ channels. The analysis selection requires events to have at least two b-tagged jets and exactly two leptons (electrons or muons) with opposite electric charge in the final state. Candidate events

Retinal implant devices are becoming an increasingly realizable way to improve the vision of patients blinded by photoreceptor degeneration. As an electrode material that can improve restored visual acuity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) excel due to their nanoscale topography, flexibility, surface chemistry, and double-layer capacitance. If vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) are biocompatible
