The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w

Beer is produced by fermenting hopped wort with yeast. The raw materials are water, grain, hop and yeast. One source of taste and aroma in beer is hop, which is typically added during boiling. One reaction during boiling is that α-acid from hop is converted to iso-α-acid, which makes the beer bitterer. Iso-α-acid is responsible for bitterness in beer, but it might also be reacted to other bitter m

This study examines the problem regarding editorial content in fashion blogs being increasingly sponsored by PR agencies and corporations. The research question will answer how this affects the credibility of fashion bloggers and the blog content. A qualitative approach has been used to measure this phenomenon, with quantitative features. Former blog credibility measurements were gathered to condu

Även om intentionen att agera fungerar som prediktor till beteende så har den samlade forskningen visat på en svaghet i intentioners kraft att påverka beteenden. Implementationsintentioner har visat sig effektiva för att skapa beteenden i kongruens med intentioner under en rad omständigheter, bland annat för reglering av emotioner. Implementationsintentioner är påståenden i ”Om ... då”- form som bEven though intentions works as predictors for behavior, research has shown a weak relation between the two. Implementation intentions has been shown to be effective in bridging the gap between intention and behavior, under various circumstances, for example when it comes to emotion regulation. Implementation intentions are ”If... then”-plans that connect a situation to a desired behavior. This st

The main purpose with this essay is to increase the knowledge of product placement in horror movies by examine how fear effects brand recall. The aim is further to get a clearer view of what kind of product placements the different genders remember, focusing on visual and verbal product placements.

Utgångspunkten för undersökningen var en intervjuguide som används på en behandlingsenhet för såväl kvinnor och män som varit utsatta för eller utövat våld i nära relation, som för barn som bevittnat eller varit direkt utsatta för våldet. Analysen visade att våld i nära relation utövas av såväl män som kvinnor men när det gäller utsatthet för mer frekvent våld, i den grupp där terrorvåld förekommeThe starting point for the study was an interview guide used in a treatment unit for both women and men who have been exposed to or exercised intimate partner violence, as well as children who have witnessed or been directly exposed to the violence. The analysis of the source material showed that intimate partner violence is exercised by both men and women but in terms of exposure to more frequent

User generated content in the form of online travel reviews come with many challenges and opportunities for organizations. User generated content has been shown to impact a travelers decision in al

Uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra de utmaningar som elittränare står inför i sin vardag, på individuell samt på organisatorisk nivå. Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ metod, semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fyra tränare som representerar en gymnastikförening. Intervjuerna fokuserar på tränarens uppfattning om sin situation och sitt behov inom ramen för uppdraget. Resultat och analys visar p

The paper looks at the ecological crisis as a human crisis of perceptions and values. Its origins can be found in the Western anthropocentric-individualistic worldview whose expansion through the processes of colonization and globalization has allowed the industrial culture to become a global culture. The manifest inability of industrial societies to respond to the seriousness and complexity of en

Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) arise from fluctuations in Earths magnetic field and can reach alarmingly high levels and cause malfunctions or blackouts in the power grids in which they occur. AF Klercker Alaküla and Lindahl invented a patented GIC immune transformer which eliminates the effects of GICs, though it is not known how this implementation will affect the transformers behavior

I den här uppsatsen undersöks den svenska bloggaren Clara Lidströms persona så som den framstår i boken Underbara Clara: Vintagepimp och hemmafix och bokens amerikanska översättning Vintage Crafts: 75 do-it-yourself decorating projects using candles, colors and other flea market finds. Undersökningen består av en analys i två delar där den första delen handlar om att analysera Claras persona för a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Inledning Alla typer av verksamheter inverkar på miljön på något sätt, och med miljöaspekter menas aktiviteter som har eller kan ha inverkan på den omgivande miljön. Med miljö avses samspelet mellan allt från människor, mark, luft, vatten, flora, fauna och naturresurser. Om en miljöaspekt är så pass allvarlig att den orsakar eller kan orsaka stor miljöpåverkan, Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev

Självskadebeteende är ett fenomen som uppmärksammats alltmer under senare år. Trots att det skett en markant ökning av studier inom området finns det dock fortfarande mycket kvar att förklara. Studiens syfte var att undersöka självuppfattning och kroppsuppfattning hos personer med självskadebeteende. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra personer som hade ett aktuellt självskadebeteendSelf-injury has received increasing attention over the last years. Although there has been a marked increase of studies in the field, there is still much to explain. The aim of this study was to investigate self-concept and body image in people with self-injury. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four individuals who had a current self-injurious behaviour. The study was based on an exp

Sedan sent 1800-tal har strålterapi använts för behandling av cancer. 50% av alla cancerpatienter blir någon gång behandlade med strålterapi, som är en avancerad teknik med många olika steg för att uppnå den slutgiltiga behandlingsplanen. Patienten börjar sin strålbehandlingsresa med att bli diagnosticerad och får sin behandling ordinerad. Efter detta startar förberedelserna inför strålbehandlingeBackground and purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only radiotherapy has, due to superior soft tissue contrast of MRI and the possible reduction of systematic uncertainties, grown into a promising technique. The purpose of this work is to investigate parts of an MRI only workflow with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images generated from MRI. This was done through investigation of treatm

Drift av kärnkraftverk och andra kärntekniska anläggningar resulterar i radioaktivt avfall. Att mäta och karakterisera detta avfall finns det ett stort behov av då en tunna med radioaktivt avfall hamnar i olika förvar beroende på hur högaktivt och långlivat innehållet är. Visar det sig att avfallet är tillräckligt lågaktivt kan innehållet friklassas, d.v.s. att hantering/användning av materialet kIn order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg

The Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) provides an alternative means of antenna synthesis in compact mobile handsets by taking into account the chassis. This makes it possible to create dual-element Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas in mobile handsets with very little coupling and correlation between the two antennas. But apart from the antennas, modern mobile phones are each equipp
