We provide an introduction to Banach Algebras and C*-algebras. The discussion of C*-algebras leads to the two central theorems of this thesis: Gelfand Duality & the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) Theorem. The latter tells us that every C*-algebra may be treated as some (special) subalgebra of bounded endomorphisms of a C-Hilbert space, while the former tells us that every commutative C*-algebra c
Abstract Over the past decade, refugee movements have had an increasing impact on Europe and the topic has dominated both political and news media discourse. During this time, portrayals of refugees have varied from victims to threats. The media, as an institution of control and communication, has the power of shaping the public’s views and discussions regarding the refugees. It also has the abi
This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context.

Att ta en spruta kan vara en obehaglig upplevelse för många. Blir man diagnostiserad med exempelvis diabetes innebär detta i de flesta fall att man har en livslång resa framför sig med daglig tillförsel av insulin. Men vad är det egentligen som gör att man inte kan få sitt insulin via ett piller istället för en spruta och är det möjligt att ta inspiration från den traditionella sprutan för att desThis study investigates the manufacturing and application of enteric polymeric microneedles loaded with active pharmaceutical ingredients and combined with photoresponsive dyes used for micromotor motion. The aim is to present an alternative method for orally delivering macromolecules. Although needle fear among patients has led to investigations into alternative routes of administration for macro
This study examines the intergenerational educational mobility among immigrants and natives in Germany. Three regression models are estimated to investigate potential differences in the transmission of human capital from parents to their children between immigrants and natives. First, a linear regression model is used to assess the strength of the association between parental and individual educat
This thesis aims to analyse the relationships between key stakeholders in the process of developing and implementing an urban strategy using the example of the Sustainable Urban Development Strategy of the City of Saint Petersburg.

Min uppsats har utgått ifrån intervjuer av personer som växlat ner i lönearbete för att söka svar i vad som gör nedväxling meningsfullt. Nedväxling innebär att växla ner i tid från lönearbetet för att få mer fritid. Arbete kan vara en faktor för självförverkligande och autonomi, men det kan också vara en källa för alienation. I ett samhälle som ställer höga krav på produktivitet och effektivitet t
Detta är en litteraturstudie som analyserar diskursen av utmattningssyndrom i Sverige och Japan. Studien ägnar sig åt att besvara varför definitionen skiljer sig i dessa länder, om de ens skiljer sig åt och hur diskursen ser ut i dessa två länder. Utmattningssyndrom är ett fenomen som har varit omtalat sedan 1970-talet men inte har haft en fast definition eller diagnoskriterier vilket har försvåra
This paper aims at investigating the determinants of female farmers access to Agrarian Extension Services in Ethiopia, where extension services represent a critical tool for the development of the agrarian sector.

Contemporary English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in upper secondary schools in Sweden make frequent use of receptive media such as movies and television to facilitate language learning. The more interactive medium of video games is seldom used for the same purpose, despite previous research indicating that the added layer of interactivity can bring benefits such as improvements to vocab

Basel III set higher requirements for both quantity and quality of capital, with the aim to mitigate systemic risk. Previous literature has however shown that high capital requirements have been associated with a lower performance of banks’ stock
Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium. The efficiency of this separation process depends on the relative acoust
This thesis aims at investigating the effect of corruption on economic growth in Europe, as well as Western and Eastern Europe separately. In particular, I ask the following two research questions: Does corruption in Europe have a negative effect on economic growth at an aggregate level? Does this effect change when dividing my data set into two sub-samples, each consisting of countries with simil

This thesis examines how administrative transfers by settler colonial states in nineteenth-century Sweden and Canada contributed to the subjugation of indigenous land use. Using qualitative analysis of historical documents and legal sources, the study reveals the pervasive presence of administrative transfers and their implications. In Canada, the study highlights the imposition of non-physical bo
Katalanska kvinnor skaffar barn senare än svenska kvinnor. Det ser vi i studier gjorda av SCB och INE. Medelåldern i Spanien är 32, medan den är 30 i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie är att lyssna på unga vuxna kvinnor som bor i Katalonien för att höra vad de har att säga om sitt eget liv och sina planer på att skaffa barn. Vi lyssnar på deras språkbruk och gör en diskursanalys, men vi lyssnar ock
