Denna uppsats handlar om bästsäljande facklitteratur. Syftet är att få en bättre förståelse för den facklitterära delen av bokbranschen samt för den stora gruppen böcker som faller under begreppet facklitteratur. Frågor som diskuteras är: Vilka facklitterära genrer sålde bäst de senaste fem åren? Vilka förlag hade givit ut denna bästsäljande facklitteratur? Och fanns det några särskilt populära fö

Under årens lopp har det gjorts flera randomiserade kontrollerade studier (RCT) som stödjer effekt av VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) vid behandling av fobier. Det har verkar dock ha saknats tillräcklig granskning av den övergripande kvaliteten på dessa studier. I den här studien undersöktes forskningskvalitet hos sju VRET RCTs publicerade mellan 2013 och 2019 med hjälp av Cochrane samt Over the years, there have been several Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) supporting the effectiveness of Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) in the treatment of phobias. However, there has not been enough scrutiny of the overall quality of these publications. In this study, 7 VRET RCTs between 2013 and 2019 were reviewed using Cochrane as well as Öst's criteria for research design. No

The thesis explores the Directive 2018/822 of May 2018, also known as DAC 6, and the obligation to notify that it placed on intermediaries with legal professional privilege. The research conducted aims at answering the question if the notification obligation brought by DAC 6 is in conflict with EU primary law, namely, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The DAC 6 was the fift

Plastics pollution is increasing every year in aquatic ecosystems and with it, an ever-increasing number of micro- and nano-sized plastic particles. It has been shown that these particles find their way into the food-chain after being consumed by organisms at lower trophic levels, such as the zooplankter Daphnia magna. Previous studies have shown negative effects on the reproduction, development,

Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees. There is currently no research on the requirements need

The round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, is a recent intruder of the Baltic Sea, which presumably arrived via the ballast water of travelling ships. The establishment of self-sustaining populations in this ecosystem has had both negative and positive effects on the native species composition within the area. Competition over resources and shelter, spawning interference, and the predation on native

Gluten in bread can cause severe health problems in patients with celiac disease. However, gluten-free substitutions often show impaired quality characteristic like a liquid dough because of a missing gluten-network or accelerated staling due to the high amount of gluten-free starch. Therefore, hydrocolloids are considered to improve gluten-free bread quality characteristics. The idea of this degr

Förevarande examensarbete undersöker den sakrättsliga regleringen av specifikation i svensk respektive tysk rätt utifrån två distinkta typfall. Syftet med studien är dels att öka kunskapen om specifikation som rättsligt fenomen, dels att underlätta en utveckling av den svenska rätten genom att undersöka förutsättningarna för en transplantation från den tyska rättens Verarbeitung-institutet. FrågesThis master’s dissertation examines the legal regulation of the original mode of acquisition specificatio in Swedish and German law. The purpose of the dissertation is in part to deepen the knowledge of this important original mode of acquisition, and in part to further the development of Swedish Law by either facilitating or ruling out a transplantation of elements from German Law. The research q

It is amidst the digital saturation of life, globalised interconnections, and accelerated global AI market growth that we are witnessing today that new complexities and challenges emerge in strategically navigating these environments. This thesis explores the emerging dynamics of strategy and Big Data and Artificial Intelligence through a qualitative research design employing semi-structured exper

The impacts of harbour porpoises by human-made, so called anthropogenic, underwater noise disturbance have been investigated in the past decades. As harbour porpoises are protected under the EU habitat directive, underwater noise management has been proposed as part of conservation efforts. Disturbance of harbour porpoises by ship noise and boat activity has previously been reported to have negati

Informal settlements, or unplanned sectors of the city, are vital for providing shelter for low and middle income households in the developing world. In the case of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, informal settlements have a long history dating back to the early colonial beginnings and today provide housing to over 70% of the city. In these densely populated environments of the informal sector, resident

Activating mutations of the FLT3 receptors confers poor prognosis while remaining as one of the most common causes for the survival and propagation of these leukemic blast cells. Years of research into second generation inhibitors proved to be initially effective. However, current studies suggest that microenvironment-mediated signals from bone marrow stromal cells are capable of providing cytopro

Röntgenkristallografi är en metod för att strukturbestämma kristaller vilket först användes under 1900-talet av William och Lawrence Braggs. Strukturbestämningen möjliggörs utav att ljus som passerar genom kristaller böjs eller delvis absorberas och ger ett diffraktionsmönster. Om ljuset är av en sådan våglängd så den kan passera mellan atomerna i kristallen, kommer ett diffraktionsmönster med inf

Anläggnings- och byggbranschen står för cirka 20% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Därför krävs det stora förändringar för att uppnå de uppsatta klimatmålen till år 2045, vilket innebär att Sverige ska ha så låga utsläpp av växthusgaser till atmosfären som möjligt, för att därefter uppnå negativa utsläpp, där insamling av växthusgaser från atmosfären överskrider vad som släpps ut i atmoTo achieve a society with sustainable development, the use of valuable non-renewable resources, i.e., the crude oil used for bituminous binder and aggregates must be changed. Meanwhile, the road network is expanding worldwide, requiring more recourses. The asphalt concrete can be recycled up to 100% after being removed from an existing road pavement, which ensures the sustainability of the asphalt

The aspect of sustainability has been a major topic in construction and real estate planning the last decade, but this seems to have fall between the cracks in the fire protection design. Therefor the aim of this thesis is to map building developer and fire engineer’s opinion and understanding about sustainable fire safety. The report also aims to develop an explanation of the concept and investig

During the last decades a brownification of the lakes and streams in the northern hemisphere has been observed. The change has been attributed to an increase of organic content in the water, leached from the top soil layers, called humic substances. Several theories have been proposed to explain the drivers behind the brownification process, among them the decrease of sulfur deposition from reduce

Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have since their invention in 1994 become a crucial source for mid-infrared and THz radiation. Mid-infrared QCLs have achieved room temperature operation while THz QCLs have not. As such, simulations are an important tool in order to achieve a THz QCL operational at room temperature. This work uses a simulation package based on a nonequilibrium Green’s function model Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) can be designed to emit radiation in the Terahertz (THz) range. For these frequencies, which are faster than electronics and slower than infrared light, there are currently only few devices facing a wide potential of applications. The realization of room temperature operation of THz QCLs would enable practical use in e.g. spectroscopy and public safety. The question i
