The phenomena of religious advocacy within the European Union is yet fairly undiscovered. The aim of this essay is to analyze the relation between religious lobbyists and the European Parliament trough five qualitative interviews. Together with the intel from the EU’s transparency register I conclude that the register has a hard time capturing the complexity in the matter and that religious organi

Talmy’s typology of motion events has been studiously explored from a range of angles, but few have focussed on the domain of caused motion. The few languages that have been studied in the domain of caused motion did not include Farsi. This thesis covers this research gap, and provides a first account of one type of caused motion, namely placement events, in Farsi, with the aim of finding out if t

The work with climate change must be structured hierarchically, with global agreements at the top and local authorities and individuals at the bottom. Although, while climate adaptation is recognized at the global scale, there are challenges getting the adaptive actions implemented in practice at the local level. Knowledge about climate adaptation cannot be generally communicated, rather it must a

The purpose of this study is to examine if the Eurozone is an Optimal Currency Area (OCA) or not. To do this we have examined if the European Central Banks monetary policy announcements have a significant impact on the equity markets and on the 10-year government bond yields in the Eurozone. We examine this by looking at eleven different countries in the Eurozone. These are: Germany, France, Belgi

Tetra Recart är en kartongbaserad förpackning som används för förvaring av olika livsmedel. Pappersförpackningen består av flera olika lager med olika funktioner för att skydda livsmedlet från den omgivande miljön och för att förlänga hållbarheten av produkten. Lagring av livsmedel med så kallade aggressiva egenskaper, så som höga saltkoncentrationer (>1%) och låga pH (< 4), har en påverkan på förTetra Recart is a paperboard-based package used for storing various kinds of food. The paperboard in Tetra Recart is covered with several layers having different functions to protect food from the environment as well as to extend the shelf life of a product. Storage of food with aggressive properties, such as high salt concentrations (> 1 %) in combination with low pH (< 4), has an impact on packa

A specific motif depicting death is the personification of death in combination with a young woman. This constellation is usually referred to as “Death and the Maiden”. The motif’s origins lie around the 16th century but was given a special revival a few centuries later. The main aim of this study is to examine the motif of Death and the Maiden, both with regard to its historical origin and how i

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty dedicated to the relief of pain and care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery. Most of the work in anesthesiology is routine patient care, but because patients are sick and surgical procedures may develop in unexpected ways, anesthesiology by its nature often involves medical crises. In recent years, two concepts have gained increasing i

The aim of this thesis is to compare traditionally optimized equity portfolios to an alternative which takes the economic effects of environmental damage in to consideration. The comparison between the portfolios are made by their composition, in terms of economic sectors, and their characteristics, such as performance, size and risk. As climate considerations have increasingly become a given them

I våra celler finns en rad olika organeller som samlar upp molekyler för att sedan utföra olika uppgifter --- likt mikroskopiska varianter av kroppens organ. Klassiska organeller har ett membran som separerar deras inre från cellens miljö. Det finns också organeller som saknar ett omgivande membran. Dessa droppliknande anhopningar av proteiner och nukleinsyror kallas biomolekylära kondensat. De kaBiomolecular condensates are dense droplets of proteins and nucleic acids inside living cells that form through a liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) process, in which intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) often play an important role. Furthermore, it has been shown that several of these IDPs can form similar droplets on their own. Understanding the forces driving the LLPS of IDPs, and how th

Designing hardware using High Level Synthesis automates parts of the digital hardware design process. By automating the process control is passed from the designer to the tool, thus it is highly important that the tool generates high performance hardware in terms of area and speed. This thesis explores the tool performance of Vivado HLS using two designs implemented anew with High Level Synthesis

The aim of this study was the investigation of the photocatalytic properties of Iron{phenyl[tris(3-methylimidazole-2-ylidine)]borate}2 ([Fe(phtmeimb)2]+) by optimising reactions previously established with ruthenium-based catalysts in good yields. For the first time in several decades of research on photochemistry of iron complexes a Fe complex has been made ([Fe(phtmeimb)2]+) that has photophysic

Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste orsaken till demens och omkring 100 000 svenskar beräknas lida av sjukdomen. Runt om i världen beräknas ungefär 50 miljoner människor lida av Alzheimers sjukdom. En peptid som är inblandad i sjukdomen är Amyloidβ som kan vara olika lång beroende på vilka APP-sekretas som klyver Amyloid-βproteinprekursor. I den här studien har de peptider med 40 (Amyloidβ40), reIn this study, the two peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42, which are related to Alzheimer’s disease, was studied. The aim was to study them in bulk solution, to understand if, and in that case how, the two peptides differ in structure and aggregation be- haviours. To investigate the structure, all-atom moleuclar dynamics simulations were used, whereas the aggregation was studied using coarse-grained Monte Car

Den ökade andelen kapital som riktas mot hållbar utveckling genom att med offentliga medel frigöra privata investeringar i utvecklingsprojekt genomförda av privata aktörer kan, vid en första anblick, verka som ett framgångsrikt resultat av mobiliseringen av nödvändiga finansiella medel för att uppnå Agenda 2030 och de globala hållbarhetsmålen. Inkluderingen av den privata sektorn att bidra till, The increased allocation of capital that is being directed towards sustainable development through the unlocking of private investments with the use of public funds into private sector-led development projects might, at first, seem as a successful outcome of the necessary mobilization of funds for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, including the SDGs. The invitation of the private sector into so

I denna studie har vi undersökt hur individer i långvariga, heterosexuella relationer upplever fördelningen av känslomässigt arbete i sina relationer och eventuella könsskillnader i denna fördelning. Vi har även undersökt om det finns ett samband mellan den upplevda fördelningen och självskattat välmående, samt huruvida individer känner till begreppet känslomässigt arbete. För att besvara frågestäIn this study we have explored how individuals in long-term, heterosexual relationships experience the distribution of emotional labour in their relationship, as well as eventual gender differences of this distribution. We also examined a possible correlation between this experienced distribution and self-evaluated well-being, as well as how familiar individuals are with the concept of emotional l

A simpler version of a shock-testing machine was developed and built. This allows engineers at Verisure to test prototypes and early versions of new products before the product is certified. An independent company shock tests the product as part of the process to certify it as an approved home alarm security product. During the shock test, the product is subjected to a high acceleration during a s
