An investigation was undertaken into whether encoding and retrieval language influenced false memory using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. The current study involved eighty-six Chinese-English bilinguals for whom Chinese was their first language and explored participants’ memory performance when English and Chinese replaced each other in encoding and memory retrieval. The results reve

Since the initial publication of a bildungsroman in 2003, the work of Nigerian-born writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has received much recognition from scholars and critics. The aesthetics of her fiction could, however, be further examined in relation to recurrent themes in her public speaking. The importance of rejecting stereotypes and the single story of Africa is one such theme. This essay argu

This research concerns lexical inferencing (LI), i.e., the ability to infer the meaning of unknown words in a running text (Haastrup, 1991). Despite its advantages, there is little research on LI as a collaborative effort. Further, virtually no studies compare paired and individual LI task performances. Based in Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) and Vygotsky’s (1978) Sociocultural Theory (SCT),

Kristaller av olika former och storlekar finns överallt omkring oss. Medan de flesta kristaller föredrar att växa lika mycket i alla riktningar, som bordssalt (natriumklorid) och diamant, finns det kristaller som bara föredrar att växa i vissa specifika riktningar. Som exempel på det sistnämnda, s.k. anisotropisk tillväxt, finns det kristaller som växer endimensionellt och bildar nålliknande formeWhile many crystals, both natural and artificial, grow isotropically, there are examples of crystals growing anisotropically. The aim of this theoretical study was to confirm the growth modes displayed by three different crystals, representing 3D, 2D and 1D structures. This was done by using energetic calculations with both molecular mechanics, with ReaxFF$_{ \textrm {SiO}}$ as the force field, an

Robots in factories and vehicles on our roads are rapidly reaching the point of automation. Commercial markets require high standards of safety and reliability, which in turn demands strict requirements on software and hardware. This thesis presents an analysis of driver assistance for a hydro-foil speedboat using LiDAR technology. The LiDAR sensor measures 2D positions of surrounding objects and

This thesis examines a method for how humans can assess quality of classifications by image based neural network. Through examples visualisations of layerwise relevance propagation (Bach et al. 2015) test participants are tasked with learning to differentiate correctly and incorrectly classified images. To test their learning, they are tasked with evaluating visualisations based on whether they be

This thesis focuses on the techniques involved in analysing the substructure of products resulting from the decay of new particles. These particles are postulated to exist in models used to describe undetectable matter whose influence can be observed within the cosmos. The models are termed 'Dark Sector models' and they attempt to describe Dark Matter; theorised to exist and account for ab

Several studies have discussed the possibilities of working with Harry Potter from perspectives of critical literacy and critical theory, in other words, to critically approach the novels while reading and writing. However, most of the previous research has failed to address how one can implement critical literacy in connection with Harry Potter in Swedish schools. This research project had as an

Det har under en tid varit svårt att rekrytera till socialtjänsten inom Sveriges kommuner. Kommunerna jobbar för att bli en mer attraktiv arbetsgivare för socialsekreterare. Arbetsförmedlingens prognoser pekar på att bristen på socialsekreterare kommer att öka. Denna studie har därav inriktat sig på att lokalisera faktorer som är viktiga för socialsekreterares arbetsmotivation och trivsel i yrket.

Uppsatsens syfte är att beskriva och analysera 1600-talets legala och teologiska syn på trolldomsbrottet. Uppsatsen använder en rättshistorisk litteraturstudiemetod och applicerar ett Law and religion-perspektiv. Arbetet redogör för den juridiska beskrivningen och det juridiska lagstiftningsläget under århundrandet, samt vilken koppling kyrkan har haft till lagverken och definitionen på trolldomsThe paper discusses the legal definition of the Swedish crime, sorcery, under the 17th century, but also the Christian influences on what content the protestant church wanted the crime to include. The essay applies a law and religion perspective. The legal definition on what was considered criminal through sorcery was based on the actual physical damage that the sorcery caused. The church, who ha

Digitaliseringen är i ständig utveckling, vilket innebär att nya redovisningssystem utvecklas och uppdateras hela tiden. Forskning som fokuserar på hur samverkan mellan användare och digitala system påverkar produktionen av kvalitativt beslutsunderlag tillhör därför kategorin för ett högst outforskat område. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka kvaliteten på redovisningsinformationen s

A Spatial Analysis of Homicide Crime’s Distribution and Association with Deprivation in Stockholm Between 2010-2017 Homicide crimes are rare events depending on numerous factors and tend to be distributed differently based on geographic location. The use of spatial analysis is substantively important for detecting different predictors in varying geographic areas and for the diffusion process of h

This thesis investigates the volatility structures found in forward-looking fundamental valuations of the Swedish stock index OMXS30. The evaluated data constitutes daily observations of P/E ratios based on twelve months earnings estimates during the period 2009-01-02 until 2018-10-18. The analysis is conducted by applying a GARCH modelling framework to a log-return transformed return series deriv

This research project presents an example of how students and teachers can work together to analyze Of Mice and Men. In this paper, critical theory is used as a form of scaffolding, in order to both develop students’ Theory of Mind (ToM) and make canonical literature more accessible. The research questions answered in this paper are concerned with asking how critical theory can be applied to the n
