En avsevärd anomali i jordens globala kolcykel, känd som Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE), finns dokumenterad i lagerföljder från Hirnantetagen, i slutet av Ordovicium för cirka 445 miljoner år sedan. Anomalin är kopplad till den samtida globala nedkylningen, bildande av inlandisar och ett massutdöende – Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). Denna studie undersöker lagerföljder från övThe Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE) is a major anomaly in Earths global carbon cycle at the end of the Ordovician time period, at ca 445 Ma. The anomaly is intimately associated with substantial cooling of the global climate, expansion of continental ice-sheets and the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). The present study investigates the Upper Ordovician to the lowermost Silurian s

Vad har motiverat kvinnliga medlemmar inom Studentlund att ta sig an en ledarposition inom en studentorganisation och vad upplever deltagarna motiverar dem att leda? Fram till nyligen har forskning om ledarskap mestadels kopplats till maskulina egenskaper snarare än feminina egenskaper. Med detta i åtanke ville vi utforska vad som motiverar kvinnor att söka sig till ledarpositioner. Vi valde att uYoung female leaders are the future, but what motivates them to take on a leadership role? And what motivates them to lead? Until recently leadership research has been mostly connected to masculine traits rather than feminine traits. With this in mind we wanted to explore what motivates females to pursue a leadership role. We chose to specifically look at female leaders within student organization

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the young unemployed and their experience of being unemployed. This study is written in order to answer how young unemployed people experience their time as unemployed and whether it affects them mentally. This study is also written in order to gain an understanding of how these young individuals share their life as unemployed in relation to

Within personality research, self-report questionnaires are a common approach. This study takes aim at investigating whether self-report questionnaires are enough, or if semantic measures, through Natural Language Processing, could be a substitute or complementary method, in assessing personality. Based on the Five Factor Model of personality, this study has been divided into two phases. Participa

The main goal of this thesis is to find an effective way to fuzz trusted applications (TAs) with source code residing in trusted execution environment (TEE). While fuzzing TAs has been previously done, no work has been found to utilize the source code of TAs to improve the fuzzing. Utilizing the source code in fuzzing can lead to an increase in code coverage compared to black-box fuzzing, and ther

Det första av mina två syften var att undersöka huruvida det finns en könsrelaterad diskrepans gällande operasångares försörjningsmöjligheter. Jag samlade in empiri om antalet arbetstillfällen per röstfack och könsfördelningen vid operautbildningar, samt genomförde en enkätundersökning om hur tidigare studenter vid Sveriges operahögskolor försörjer sig. Slutsatsen kunde dras att det finns en stor The first of my two purposes was to investigate whether there is a gender disparity in the possibilities to make a living as an opera singer. I collected empirical data on the number of jobs per fach and the gender breakdown of students at opera schools, and conducted a survey on how former students at Sweden's opera schools supported themselves. I concluded that there is a large disparity to

Vi utsätts dagligen för en mängd främmande kemikalier, varav vissa är skadliga både för miljön och folkhälsan. Ett exempel är ämnen som orsakar allergiska hudsjukdomar och som är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till arbetsrelaterade sjukdomar inom vissa yrken. Det är därför viktigt att utveckla effektiva metoder för att identifiera och begränsa förekomsten av dessa skadliga ämnen i ett tidigt skede.It is widely recognized that exposure to harmful chemicals can affect our health. Allergic contact dermatitis is an allergic skin disease and one of the most common work-related diseases in today’s society. It can be caused by numerous substances, including rubber chemicals. They can be particularly problematic since many professions have daily contact with rubber chemicals, e.g., by wearing dispo

The purpose of this project was to study the impact of three different protein systems on the physicochemical stability of alcohol-containing emulsions. Egg yolk plasma, sodium caseinate and whey protein isolate (WPI) were used for that purpose. For this reason, the solubility of the three protein systems in the presence of different levels of ethanol was first determined. Oil–in–water emulsions (

Inom fastighetsrätten är begreppet fastighet centralt. Fastighetsrätten utgår ibland från fastighet och ibland från andra begrepp så som brukningsenhet, tomt och värderingsenhet. Ibland används begreppen som synonymer till fastighet vilket försvårar tolkningar av diverse lagar. Jordabalken definierar vad en fastighet är och fastighetsbildningslagen anger hur fastigheter bildas och ändras. Plan- oIn Swedish real estate law, the concept of real property is central. Real estate law sometimes refers to real property and sometimes to other concepts such as farm unit, plot, and valuation unit. Sometimes the terms are used as synonyms for real property, which complicates the interpretation of various laws due to conceptual confusion. An example of conceptual confusion is when owners of real pro

The relationship between state and civil society organisations is a well studied area within the field of political science in the Swedish contemporary political context. While the focus has previously largely been on producer-organisations and their politically privileged position, the resent additional focus has been on the civil society organisation defined by social-movements-oriented organisa

The aim of this thesis is to design two patch antenna arrays for dual-frequency harmonic radar application, one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver. The arrays are used to track the Bogong moth that migrates from the countryside to the Australian Alps during spring. The tracking is done at the radar by operating the transmitter at one frequency and the receiver at twice the frequenc

The more urgent the climate crisis become, the more responsibility is placed on individuals to reduce their carbon emissions and become ‘sustainable consumers’. If individuals are given such a responsibility, it is important to examine whether they perceive that they can fulfill it. This thesis main aim is therefore to qualitatively examine how and to what degree income impacts people’s perceived

This study investigates the European Union’s self-perception as a global climate leader and contrasts it with the underrepresented African perspective on the EU’s role in international climate negotiations. Using a role-theoretical framework, the research analyses different leadership types and qualities, comparing European and African perceptions of the EU’s involvement in multilateral climate ch

This essay is about trust in the police organization at two time periods, the mid - and late 1990s and 2010s. In these periods the national polls pointed at a weaker experienced trust in the police compared to other time periods. Trust in the national institutions is of importance to the democratic system. National polls are however very seldom complemented by studies based on qualitative methods

This study explores how a contemporary systemic shift regarding secrecy and intelligence is affecting the strategic performance of states engaged in overt or covert intervention. These changes are conceptualized by researchers as “implausible deniability”, “delayed disclosure” and “the democratization of intelligence” and their significance are applied to limited-war theory with a theoretical focu

Agreements with SKR (Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions) have emerged as a significant steering instrument for the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (MHSA). The agreements define activities for the Local Authorities to carry out and nearly always include earmarked grants. No study has yet explained why agreements are utilized as a steering instrument. Therefore, this study se

The newer spectral bands in millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) spectrum over the last few years have made higher data rates possible and improved quality of service for the users, but it possesses new challenges to design spectral agile radios. Power Amplifiers (PA) are a crucial analog component connected to Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas which inherits non-linear effects. In addition, PA’
