Geography is the study of knowledge in a given location, and history is the study of knowledge over time. The combination of changes over time has always been challenging to visualize in maps. The main aim of this thesis was to analyze differences between various methods used to visualize spatio-temporal data with open-source web mapping technology. The methodology of this thesis has been split in

We demonstrate self-compression of 173 fs pulses centered at 1030 nm down to 19.5 fs through electro-optic phase modulation by the phonon-polariton waves generated in a phase-matched intra-pulse difference-frequency mixing.

During the 21st century, public diplomacy and branding received a new angle and application closely related with the meaning of securitization. Even though the importance of this meaning, researchers nowadays notice a research gap considering the three above-mentioned fields. NATO, as a popular security brand, represents an under-researched sui generis organization that gets involved with securiti

Background: Asundexian (Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany), an oral small molecule factor XIa (FXIa) inhibitor, might prevent thrombosis without increasing bleeding. Asundexian's effect for secondary prevention of recurrent stroke is unknown. Methods: In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b dose-finding trial (PACIFIC-Stroke), patients with acute (within 48 h) non-cardioembolic

Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren

Abstract Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att skaffa kunskap om vilka tysta kunskaper poliser lyfter fram att de besitter, vad som gynnar och/eller hindrar den tysta kunskapens utveckling, vilka forum som funnits för dess utveckling, hur deras handlingsutrymme sett ut och eventuellt förändrats samt eventuella upplevelser av New Public Management (NPM). Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer har fem po

Studiens syfte var att undersöka och jämföra sambandet mellan självkänsla, kroppsuppfattning och BMI hos unga vuxna i den svenska och makedonska kulturella kontexten. Dessutom undersökte studien köns- och åldersskillnader samt skillnader i utbildning gällande samtliga variabler i båda kontexter. Ett bekvämlighetsurval på 64 deltagare från Sverige respektive 65 deltagare från Nordmakedonien mellan The purpose of the study was to investigate and compare the relationship between self-esteem, body image, and BMI in young adults in the Swedish and Macedonian cultural context. In addition, the study investigated gender and age differences as well as differences in education regarding all variables in both contexts. A convenience sample of 64 participants from Sweden and 65 participants from Nort

Diverse bilingual experiences have implications for language comprehension, including pragmatic elements such as verbal irony. Irony comprehension is shaped by an interplay of linguistic, cognitive, and social factors, including individual differences in bilingual experience. We examined the relationship between individual differences related to bilingualism, specifically, the capacity to understa

The small scandinavian country of Denmark is ranked among the top countries in the world according to the World Energy Council (WEC) energy trilemma criteria: energy security, energy equity, and sustainability.

Comparative study of the Swedish sex education film "Kärlekens språk" (2004). Particular focus is given narration, reflexivity and sexuality.

The maturation of whisky is a long and complex process, the extremely long waiting time causes a large cost for new whisky distilleries, and without sufficient funding, it is hard to start a whisky business. To produce satisfying whisky products within the short term, accelerating the reaction during aging provides a promising approach. Various chemical reactions take place during this stage, this

The precise classification of tumors into relevant molecular subtypes will facilitate both future research and optimal treatment. Here, the Lund Taxonomy system for molecular classification of urothelial carcinoma was applied to two large and independent cohorts of non-muscle-invasive tumors. Of 752 tumors classified, close to 100% were of the luminal subtypes, 95% urothelial-like (Uro; UroA, UroB

This study investigates the effect of job satisfaction on investment efficiency. To operationalize job satisfaction empirically, we employ a novel measure based on crowdsourced employer reviews. Considering the as yet under-researched and less regulated private firm setting, in which internal characteristics such as employee satisfaction should play a more important role for corporate actions, we

Background: Achieving lasting remission for at least 2 years is a good indicator for favourable prognosis long term after Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The aim of this study was to provide real-world probabilities, useful in risk communication and clinical decision-making, of the chance for lasting remissions by clinical characteristics. Methods: DLBCL patients in remission after primary

Linjära tids-invarianta system är ordinära differential ekvation system som förekommer inom Reglerteknik där de används för att modellera blandt annat signal-processering, kemiska processer och ekonomi. Ett studie utförs på linjära tids-invarianta system, deras lösningar och tre nyckel egenskaper som de besitter: Observabilitet, åtkomlighet, och stabilitet. Tre algoritmer, Gaussian elimination, siLinear time-invariant systems are ordinary differential equation systems that arise in control engineering where they are used to model e.g. signal processing, chemical processing and economics. A study is conducted on linear time-invariant systems, their solution and three key properties they have: Observability, reachability and stability. Three algorithms, Gaussian elimination, singular value d

As part of a multi-study project, this test-retest study seeks to identify the relations between studying abroad anda sojourner's personality as measured by the Big Five personality traits. It thereby attempts to answer the ques-tions of who chooses to study abroad and how study abroad changes personality. A total of 221 students from aGermanuniversity weretracked over the courseofa semester, with

The present study examined whether students experience an increase in their general perceived self-efficacythrough international academic mobility. Two hundred and twenty-one students at Leuphana UniversityLüneburg were enrolled in a test-retest study with two points of measurement including a time interval of ap-proximately six months. Perceived self-efficacy was measured in a group of sojourners

Many cities are facing the problem of old industrial areas whose soil has been contaminated with toxic substances created by different historical activities within the area. The great unsolved environmental problems, such as: water, soil and air pollution prob- lems, and habitat loss in the Öresund region today, are a result of the industrialization era. “Reclaiming Eco-Assemblages” lays out a m
