I ett individualiserat och sekulariserat samhälle har frågor om mening, gemenskap och psykologiskt välmående aktualiserats inom såväl forskning som samhällsdebatt. Självtranscendens har föreslagits som en möjlig psykologisk resurs i denna kontext, men har i begränsad utsträckning undersökts i relation till kollektiv samhörighet och välmående i en svensk population. Syftet med föreliggande studie vIn increasingly individualised and secularised societies, questions of meaning, social connectedness, and psychological well-being have gained attention in both research and public discourse. Self-transcendence has been proposed as a potential psychological resource in this context but has rarely been examined in relation to collective belonging and well-being within a Swedish population. The aim

Large and old trees provide important habitat structures and support a high diversity of species. Habitat continuity and landscape connectivity is crucial for species associated with oaks. Fragmentation, agriculture intensification and changed forest management has caused a reduction of old and large oaks, which threatens the long-term persistence of oak associated species by reducing habitat cont

Tetra Pak Carton Ambient has developed a package called Tetra Wedge Aseptic (TWA) for their emerging segment. The package is a V-shaped package that has a straw attached to one of its front panels, which makes it ideal for the on-the-go consumption. It immediately attracted young people but unfortunately has the package not motivated their parents in the same way. Lately, several market companies

Malignt melanom är en aggressiv form av hudcancer. Genmutationer kan påskynda sjukdomsförloppet och spridningen av tumörer, men specialanpassad behandling finns att tillgå. Idag används DNA-analys för att upptäcka genmutationer, vilket är kostsamt och tidskrävande. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om djupinlärning (deep learning) kan användas för att hitta genmutationer från vävnadsbMalignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. The aim of our thesis is to investigate whether deep learning can be used to differentiate whole-slide images of tumours with different gene mutations. This was done i

Studien syftade till att undersöka hur frikända personers medvetenhet förstås i domstolens motivering till att medvetenhetskravet inte är uppfyllt, hur dessa aspekter förhåller sig till psykologisk förståelse av förändrade medvetandetillstånd samt jämföra hur informationen som ligger till grund för rättsliga motiveringar förhåller sig till den rättspsykiatriska bedömningen. Studiens genomfördes i The aim of the study was to investigate how Swedish courts perceive the consciousness of acquitted individuals whose grounds for acquittal were lack of consciousness, and how such perceptions relate to psychological understandings of altered states of consciousness. Another aim was to explore how the information that forms the basis for the courts' reasoning corresponds with the content of the

The interest of implementing automated production has grown over the years in the industry of manufacturing. Replacing manual tasks with automated solutions has several advantages, such as improved efficiency, increased safety and better quality standards. Alfa Laval raised the challenge to find an automated solution for a currently manual process. The master thesis addresses the problem with the

Många svenskar upplever just nu en ekonomiskt ansträngd situation. Att ha privatekonomiska problem har i tidigare forskning visat sig ha kopplingar till psykisk ohälsa och suicidalt beteende. Mot denna bakgrund är det angeläget att vidare undersöka de faktorer som är associerade med privatekonomiska problem. Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka om finansiell förmåga, psykisk ohälsa,Many Swedish people are living under the weight of a financially precarious situation. Previous research has illuminated the steep cost of experiencing financial difficulties, finding relationships to psychological distress and even suicidal behaviors. Against this background, it is important to further examine the economic and psychological factors associated with financial difficulties. The pres

Depression, ångest och stress är närliggande former av psykisk ohälsa som ofta uppvisar betydande symtomatisk överlappning. Föreliggande studie undersökte hur enskilda frågor inom självskattningsinstrumenten PHQ-9, GAD-7 och PSS-10 relaterade till respektive skala samt till varandra bland universitetsstudenter, med fokus på vilka frågor som framstod som mest centrala och indikativa för variation iDepression, anxiety, and stress are closely related forms of psychological distress that often exhibit substantial symptomatic overlap. The present study examined how individual items within the self-report instruments PHQ-9, GAD7, and PSS-10 were related to their respective scales as well as to each other among university students, with a focus on which items appeared most central and indicative

The central area of Stenshuvud national park in southern Sweden was surveyed regarding the lichen species composition and distribution. Similar qualitative investigations of the area have been carried out in the years 1934 and 1987, although this survey further included a quantitative survey of relative frequency per species to enable more accurate monitoring in the future. Together, the three s

In biological observation of small flying animals, structured light methods can be used in order to make high frequency, no contact measurements in flight. Using a laser pointer that projects a 5625 point mesh pattern, as well as two high-speed cameras, three different methods for estimating the shape of 3D objects have been developed and evaluated. The cameras were calibrated, as well as the lase

The construction sector is undergoing substantial growth and there are many challenges to address. One challenge is building defects, which affect the structural integrity and put the structure at risk. A common and intrusive building defect is moisture, which can slowly expand and lead to complicated defect detection. Moisture intrusion can cause many issues in the structure of the building and p

Insect pollinators provide an essential ecosystem service, but recently declines in pollinator groups have been reported. Urban areas are expanding rapidly world-wide and have been suggested to be a major cause behind insect declines, but the effect of urbanization on pollinators is still inconclusive. In this study, the number of flower-visitors on the plant species peached-leaved bellflower and

In Stockholm, Sweden commuters are spending 17 working days a year stuck in traffic, polluting our climate and wasting their time. Commute by train could be a great replacement if the connections to the stations were not lacking. By adding the adult kick bike Pendla to the train you will be more flexible, healthy and eco friendly. The kick bike is foldable and free to bring on the train. My produc

South East Asia, and Thailand in particular, are experiencing rapid population ageing. In Thailand older people are increasing in both proportion of the population and absolute number. Adaptations are needed to support this ageing population and to prevent poverty in old age. Since 2009 Thailand has had a minimum universal social pension, the Old Age Allowance (OAA) for all citizens aged 60 and ov

The use of wireless communication has grown rapidly over the last three decades. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority estimates that more than 80% of all mobile traffic is received or transmitted from within buildings and the number is expected to reach over 90% in the near future. Meanwhile, the number of energy efficient buildings on the Swedish housing market has increased. This type of build

Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v

Consumers’ knowledge that unsustainable consumption has a negative effect on the environment does not hinder their engagement in unsustainable consumption patterns. Applying system justification theory, it was of interest to investigate its impact on Swedish citizens’ attitudes and behaviours related to sustainable consumption. This study intended to discover why Swedish consumers do not always en

All viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. This project is about cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, also called CCMV, which is a plant virus and the disassembly and reassembly mechanisms of the capsid are investigated to understand how the capsid proteins a

The aim of this study was to investigate how gender norms are represented in formal court decisions regarding the taking into compulsory care of young persons according to 3§ LVU (Care of Young Persons Special Provisions Act). The empirical material consisted of 30 court cases, whereof 15 cases concerned girls and 15 concerned boys. The method used was a qualitative content analysis. This method f
