The preaching event is a complex process of communication and interpretation. The aim of this study is to describe and discuss how the preaching event is affected when it is digitally mediated and involves so-called “religious digital creatives” (RDCs). This is achieved through a case study of the preaching event at two Church of Sweden (CoS) congregations that offered pre-recorded, digitally medi
Background: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50–64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Counci
This thesis investigates how authoritarian leaders justify the restructuring of state institutions and the dismissal of bureaucratic officials, with a focus on the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under President Trump's second administration. By applying a critical discourse analysis of two policy documents: an executive order and a memorandum, the study ex
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the impact of China’s entry into the WTO on European banks’ market access in China and Chinese banks’ market access in the EU. To answer the above question the best way of research is to make a survey from the industry’s perspective. In the legal part, I made a broad analysis of banking legislation for market access in the EU and China. In the business part, pr
Bakgrund: Många idrottare är i behov av kraft och explosivitet i benmuskulaturen. Ett sätt att utvärdera dessa egenskaper hos en idrottare är genom ett Counter Movement Jump (CMJ). Att använda sig av ett CMJ vid mätning av explosivitet i den koncentriska fasen med MuscleLabsystemet har visat sig vara en reliabel mätmetod. Utbudet av studier som undersöker den excentriska fasen i ett CMJ är begräns

Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren
Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. Method: A mathematical model has been developed in
Background: The aim of the study is to evaluate the overall accuracy of the surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) workflow through a comprehensive commissioning and quality assurance procedures and assess the potential benefits of deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) radiotherapy as a cardiac and lung dose reduction approach for left-sided breast cancer irradiation. Materials and methods: Accuracy and
A search is performed for a heavy particle decaying into different-flavor, dilepton pairs (eμ, eτ or μτ), using 36.1 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected in 2015-2016 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excesses over the Standard Model predictions are observed. Bayesian lower limits at the 95% credibility level are placed on the mass of a Z′ boson, the mass
Board gaming has to a large degree, been studied based on historical sources. Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. According to the author, this has created a rather skewed pictu
Medgärningsmannaskapet är en komplex rättsfigur som både tillämpats och kommit till uttryck på olika sätt. Det är en oförutsägbar konstruktion och därför intressant att studera och lätt att kritisera. Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för medgärningsmannaskapets rättsliga stöd, tillämpning och uttryck samt huruvida konstruktionen tillämpats i linje med en sådan medverkanslära som StraffrättskommiIn Sweden there is a complex legal construction called “medgärningsmannaskap” (perpetrators of parties to a crime) that is both applied and expressed in many different ways. It is an unpredictable unit in the Swedish legal system and thus interesting to study and easy to criticize. The purpose of this thesis is to describe on what legal foundation “medgärningsmannaskapet” is built upon, how it is
