The aim of the studies is to contribute to increased knowledge regarding older people's attitudes to mobile banking services and how digital exclusion is affected by psychological barriers. In this way, we check whether there is a significant connection with the psychological factors to whether an older individual uses mobile banking services or not.

False denial is a deceptive strategy involving the refusal of knowledge or actions. Previous studies have reported the denial-induced forgetting (DIF) effect, where denying information during an interrogation impairs memory for the discussed details. Recent research has shown that denial can also affect the original event memory when cognitive resources are strained during task execution. However,

Titel: Ett par jeans eller dricksvatten i 10 år? - En kvalitativ studie om “skavet” som generation Z upplever när deras attityder inte reflekteras i deras konsumtionsbeteende. Författare: Ebba Linder-Aronson och Rebecca Keef Handledare: Carina Sjöholm Frågeställningar: För att kunna besvara studiens syfte har vi formulerat två frågeställningar: Vad har representanterna från Generation Z för a

This thesis examines the state-of-the-art 2D super-resolution technique alternating descent conditional gradient (ADCG) method's ability to accurately localize fluorophores in diffraction-limited single molecule images (SMI) and analyze the impact of pre-processing and post-processing modules on ADCG's fluorophore localization. A synthetic dataset obtained from the 2013 Grand Challenge loc

Urban flooding has increased in response to impervious surface intensification, the loss of green areas, and high-intensity rainfall associated with climate change. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are an appealing option for stormwater management; however, their hydraulic control capabilities have received little attention. We developed a comparative model-based approach with 24 scenario

Läkemedel som består av skräddarsydda proteiner används idag för att behandla bland annat diabetes. De ges traditionellt som injektioner och detta misstänks vara kopplat till skapandet av skadliga partiklar. Sprutan och nålen är ofta silikoniserade för att underlätta hantering och deras användning utsätter det känsliga proteinet för mekaniska krafter. Detta tros leda till bildandet av partiklar i This work developed a method for the investigation of how medical devices, such as syringes and needles, affect the formation of subvisible particles in a protein drug without excipients. Protein-based pharmaceuticals are well known to be sensitive to different kinds of stress, and exposure to stress during the use of this device is unavoidable. To study this phenomenon, an in-house built probe fo

Providing safe drinking water to people in developing countries is an urgent worldwide water problem and a main issue in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. One of the most efficient and cheapest methods to attain these goals is to promote the use of slow sand filters. This review shows that slow sand filters can efficiently provide safe drinking water to people living in rural communities not s

This thesis focuses on predicting the usage efficiency of e-scooters through the application of a Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Network (STGNN). The predictions made by the STGNN will be compared with classical machine learning (ML) methods, including Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Linear Regression (LR). To facilitate the prediction of usage efficiency, the Time to Bookin

The aim of the study is to analyse teachers’ efforts to develop secondary school students’ knowledge and argumentation skills of what constitutes scientific theories. The analysis is based on Leontiev’s three-level structure of activity (activity, action, and operation), as these levels correspond to the questions why, what, and how content is taught. The unit of analysis was a school development

Pictures are often integrated in digital learning materials with the purpose of enhancing learning. This mixed methods study uses quantitative eye-tracking data and qualitative data such as oral answers to discover whether characteristics of pictures influence patterns of text–picture transition in readers with (n=10) and without (n=14) dyslexia, and how reading comprehension is affected. Most par

This study aims to describe how the learning study model can be used to improve lesson design and childrens learning outcomes by enabling them to perceive and define the critical aspects of the object of learning, guided by variation theory. Three lesson designs were used with three groups of children (A = 24, B = 13, C = 14) from two schools. The results of the first design were analyzed before t

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a learning study with a complex object of learning – democracy. Design/methodology/approach – The study consists of four research lessons in four different classes in grade 6. In the study two teachers, 78 students and two researchers participated. In the first lesson (A) 21 students participated, in the second class (B) 17, in the third class (C)

The aim of this study is to, based on a theory of learning, compare in what ways two different cases of the use of self-monitoring videotapes for developing social skills in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) facilitates social behavior studied with a micro-level approach. Two verbal 15-year-old male students with ASD and cognitive disabilities were filmed for 20 min in three differen

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe pre-school children's learning during a learning study, and their teachers’ awareness of each child's learning possibilities in relation to what they actually learned. The paper's aims are twofold; first, to focus on how to design learning study in pre-school settings; and second, to study young children's (aged 4-5) learning. Design/methodology/ap

Why do some individuals feel hostility and express bias against supporters of other political parties? Drawing on intergroup threat theory, we examine the role of emotions as a mechanism by which perceived threats against the ingroup are a source of increased affective polarization. In two survey experiments performed in the multiparty contexts of Sweden (N = 505) and Germany (N = 776), we manipul

Den här kandidatplatsen syftar till att kartlägga de tre egenskaperna definition, erkännande och självständighet, vilka är gemensamma för juridiska folkrättssubjekt. Egenskaperna utgör en del av de underliggande uppfattningarna om vem eller vilka vi accepterar utgöra juridiskt folkrättssubjekt. De underliggande uppfattningarna utvecklas genom händelser, erfarenheter, behov etcetera inom det internThis thesis aims to uncover the three properties of definition, recognition and independence shared by international legal subjects. These properties are included in the underlying conceptual scheme of who or what we accept as an international legal subject. The conceptual scheme is developed through the events, experiences, needs etc. within the international community. By uncovering the properti

When in need to tell stories we often find ourselves using not only our words but also accompanying gestures, as well as pictures. However, what if we were to use only gestures to narrate? Would the stories we tell be clear enough to understand? The thesis investigates the potentials and limitations of pantomime, which consists mostly of gesture, for storytelling. Concretely, through a unique two-
