The modeling of drug-induced changes in ion channel kinetics and firing properties in fast-spiking interneurons: a computational study

Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. Defective functioning in GABA:ergic interneurons has been linked to undesired desynchronous firing in neural signals as a consequence of these interneurons firing too infrequently or not at

Kan inte ni gå in i byggis? Förskolepedagogers interaktion med förskolebarn utifrån ett genusperspektiv.

Många barn i Sverige tillbringar en stor del av sina dagar på förskola där många av deras sociala erfarenheter och utveckling äger rum. Kognitiv social inlärningsteori förespråkar att barnet lär sig genom att imitera och härma vuxna och utifrån detta skapa kognitiva scheman som används för att tolka omvärlden. Barnen härmar de vuxnas beteende, vilket gör att pedagoger på en förskola besitter en vi

Medvetenheten inom sjukvården vid införandet av GDPR, En kvalitativ intervjustudie om medvetandegörandet av informationssäkerhet – i ljuset av GDPR

Den 25 maj 2018 träder EU:s nya dataskyddsförordning, GDPR, i kraft. Den påverkar alla företag i hur de hanterar persondata och personuppgifter. Detta gäller även myndigheter och hälso- och sjukvården. Inom sjukvården ses oftast patienten snarare än personen, vilket kan ställa till problem för hanteringen av personuppgifter inom sjukvården. Studien ämnar att, genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie, un

Metodutveckling för beräkning av växthusgasbalanser för avfallsverksamheter - En fallstudie av NSR AB:s verksamhet

Mot bakgrund av en kontinuerligt ökande handel och konsumtion har avfallshantering blivit en av nyckelkomponenterna i det utmanande arbetet mot ett hållbart samhälle. Växthusgasbalanser är användbart i bedömningen av miljöprestandan hos verksamheter med avfallshantering, och kan därav bistå med god vägledning i verksamheternas arbete mot en minskad klimatpåverkan. Avfallsverksamheten NSR AB har vDue to the continuous increase of global trading as well as consumption habits, waste disposal has become a key factor in the challenging work of accomplishing a sustainable society. A greenhouse gas balance is a useful tool when estimating the environmental performance of a waste disposal company, and therefore contributes with guidance in the company’s environmental protection work. The waste d

What Do The Best Strategic Thinkers Do? A Case Study of Cognitive Elements in Strategic Thinking Among Managers at Helsingborgshem

Since there is a lack of scientific knowledge concerning strategic thinking, this study sought to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept. The presumption of the study is that one needs strategic thinking to deal with complex and unfamiliar situations. As globalisation is one main driving factor in the change of how business is run, there is an increased need for organisations to

Integration of transparency into packaging design

Transparency has become a key sales pitch for companies! It enables them to show their product and tell the consumers they do not have nothing to hide. But from a technical point of view, transparency implies many risks for product's quality such as photooxidation and other reactions leading to colour change and decrease of product's quality. The objective of this master thesis, conducted

Implementation of inverse motion form finding in commercial software

This Masters' dissertation investigates the possibility of implementing the concept of inverse motion form finding in a commercial software. The inverse motion approach finds the initial, undeformed geometry of a design such that it obtains its desired design shape when service loads are exerted on the design. The implementation is limited to static mechanical loads on three-dimensional geomet
