As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results
Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi
We test a new approach to calculate the mean velocity and velocity dispersion for a sample of nearby stars when their radial velocities are not available. The most commonly used method (here called the projection method, PM) was introduced in a paper by Dehnen & Binney (1998). That method is here compared, theoretically and numerically, with an application of the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method
Abstract The parasite Gyrodactylus salaris has recently spread to several new wild salmon rivers at the Swedish west coast. A study was carried out in River Himleån, infected in 2005, to investigate if the salmon population was negatively influenced by the parasite. In October 2007 salmon parr were captured by electrofishing. The fish were anaesthetized and their length and weight were measured.

Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with
Stalaktiter och andra grottsediment har visat sig vara värdefulla verktyg för klimatrekonstruktioner. Med deras hjälp är det möjligt att rekonstruera förändringar av temperatur och nederbörd tillbaka i tiden. De är även användbara i arida områden där andra sedimenttyper sällan existerar. I den här studien undersöks en stalaktit från ”Al Hota”-grottan i norra Oman med hjälp av en petrografisk underSpeleothems and other cave sediments have proven to be valuable tools for climate reconstructions. They allow to reconstruct the changes of temperatures and precipitation over time even in arid areas where other types of sedimentary archives are scarce or even non-existent. In this study, a speleothem from Al Hota cave in northern Oman is investigated by means of petrographic interpretation and an
EU:s mervärdesskattesystem är idag uppbyggt kring destinationslandsprincipen, vilket innebär att försäljning till annat land inom EU inte påläggs någon skatt. Mervärdesskatt upptas istället i destinationslandet. Detta var till en början tänkt som en övergångs-ordning. Den slutliga ordningen för mervärdesbeskattningens vidkommande var tänkt att baseras på ursprungslandsprincipen, där skatt läggs påThe European VAT system is built around the destination principle, which means that intra-community sales are exempt from taxation. Instead VAT is collected in the buyers member state. This system is in fact an interim system, and according to art. 402 of the VAT directive must be replaced by a system based on the origin principle. This would mean that VAT is also levied on intra-community sales b
Bröstcancer och Notch-proteiner Var tionde kvinna i Sverige kommer att ha drabbats av bröstcancer vid 75 års ålder. Cancerforskningens framsteg under de senaste decennierna har förbättrat diagnostik och behandling av denna sjukdom så att man nu kan rädda majoriteten av bröstcancerpatienterna. Emellertid finns det fortfarande former av bröstcancer som inte svarar på de behandlingsmetoder som använ
Syftet med studien var att uppmärksamma vilken betydelse uppskattning och feedback har för medarbetare och chefers arbetsglädje på arbetsplatsen. Fokus har legat på hur de anställda uppfattar kopplingarna mellan begreppen och komplexiteten kring kommunicerandet av dem. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med personal på en arbetsförmedling och ett bankkontor (n=11) har en djupare förståelse skapats

Masteruppsats: SOCM02 Sociologiska institutionen, vårterminen 2013 Problem/bakgrund: Rapporteringen som rör svenska politiker handlar om långt mycket mer än bara politik. Politiker är offentliga personer som berörs av en mediabevakning som behandlar bland annat
The purpose of the study was to elucidate the significance of psycho-dynamic therapy for young adults while working from a client perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four former clients, all of whom had completed therapy four to five years prior. The interview material was initially condensed using five questions taken from hermeneutic single case efficacy design. The conde
Realising social justice has been one of the central goals of the International Labour Organisation since its inception. Yet today the unique environment and dangers associated with working at sea make the world’s 1.2 million seafarers a particularly vulnerable group, both in terms of their physical safety and mental wellbeing, and concerning the realisation of social justice. Social justice is a
Då utvecklingen av digital kommunikation bland annat leder till mindre öga-mot-öga-kontakt (F2F), var studiens syfte att undersöka om olika nivåer av F2F-kontakt korrelerar med den interpersonella tilliten mellan chef och anställd. En enkätundersökning med 60 yrkesverksamma deltagare genomfördes, och resultaten visade inga signifikanta samband mellan F2F och tillit, något som i viss mån skiljer siSince less face-to-face contact (F2F) is one of the implications of digital communication development, this study was designed to examine if different levels of F2F-contact correlates with interpersonal trust between employees and their manager. A survey with 60 participants was conducted, and the results showed no significant relationship between F2F and trust, to some extent making it stand out
The purpose of this study was to examine ten women's experiences of negative sanctions for entering into a love-marriage, especially the negative sanction of reduced kin-support, and in which way this can be perceived to be of significance when it comes to women's capability to manage the challenges experienced in married life. This has been done by applying a qualitative research strategy
Syftet är att undersöka hur ett miljonprogramsområde kan förbättra imagen genom att sammankopplas med ett populärt turistmål. Det vi kommer fram till är att bostadsområdet har inte tillräckligt goda förutsättningar idag för att bli ett attraktivt område och måste därför först göra förbättringar på plats innan en sammankoppling med det populära turistmålet kan tas i beaktning. Trots att det finns f
The transformational mode of sustainability science is concerned with generating actionable knowledge and practical solutions to complex sustainability challenges in order to facilitate a transition towards sustainability by strategizing transformational pathways. However, some scholars in the field believe that sustainability science lacks such capacity, since so far greater focus has been put on
Scientific summary There is a bidirectional relation between climate and vegetation distribution at local as well as global scale. Changes in climate pattern modify the terrestrial vegetation distribution that in turn affects the climate system by altering the balance of radiation, water, momentum, CO2 and other important atmospheric gases. The large-scale changes in vegetation structure and compo
