The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of trait anxiety and to which extent the equestrians reinvest to consciously control their movements, and if the result had an influence on performance. The selected participants were 30 elite equestrians, actively competing in dressage. All participants were competing on a both national and international level in this
The publishing industry is constantly faced with threats and predictions prophesying the end of the printed book and reading, however there is simultaneously the imminent promise of the digitalized literature. Children´s literature is one part of today´s marketplace that show progress in sales at the same time the panoply of entertainment for children is bigger than ever. The enormous popularity o
Queer theology is relative new in the Academy of Theology, especially in the Swedish context. It derives from both liberation and feminist theology. Furthermore queer theology can also be understood as an extension of queer theory. Gerard Loughlin has intentionally incorporated elements from queer theory in his theological work. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the texts of St. Augustine an
The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed-canopy forest; however, some argue that large herbivores maintained greater openness or even wood-pasture conditions. Here, we address this question for the Last Interglacial period (129,000–116,000 years ago), before Homo sapien
AbstractThis research aims to investigate and compare how computers work on five different workstation setups of multiple or large screens and viewing distances (27-inch and 49-inch at 70 or 90 cm viewing distance) affect muscular load in neck/shoulders, working postures, and perceived exertions of non-presbyopic participants. The electrical activity in the trapezius shoulder and trapezius neck muThis research aims to investigate and compare how computers work on five different workstation setups of multiple or large screens and viewing distances (27-inch and 49-inch at 70 or 90 cm viewing distance) affect muscular load in neck/shoulders, working postures, and perceived exertions of non-presbyopic participants.

With the projected increase in the number of hydrogen-fueled trucks, it can be expected that it will become more common for such vehicles to be involved in road collisions. Even if hydrogen vehicles are designed with a quick-closing valve on tanks in accordance with UN/ECE R134, a small volume of hydrogen will be contained downstream of this valve and in the fuel-cell recirculation system and ther
In this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare. Using multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, we explore the links between attitudes and political action, and associated socio-political characteristics, in the case of Sweden. Our results show a three-nIn this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare.

Popular Abstract in English The cell is the basic unit in all organisms. The molecular machinery in cells converts the energy in sunlight or food into a form of energy that the cell can use for physiological processes in the organism. In humans, this molecular machinery is located in the mitochondria; therefore they are often called the power plants of the cell. The molecular machines are actuallyNADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or complex I, is a large membrane bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of living organisms, that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. The enzyme has a conserved core structure, comprising 14 protein subunits: Seven subunits protrude from the membrane and contain a flavin and eight iron-sulfur clusters. The remaining seven subunits in
With the aim to bridge the pressure gap between traditional surface science and industrial applications, heterogeneous catalytic reactions on model catalysts are increasingly studied at near-ambient pressures. Under those conditions, the gas phase has been shown to play an important role during the interaction at the gas-surface interface making it complex to study. This complexity can be capturedWith the aim to bridge the pressure gap between traditional surface science and industrial applications, heterogeneous catalytic reactions on model catalysts are increasingly studied at near-ambient pressures.

Why should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity? Debates on whether artificial intelligence (AI) can or should be used to solve problems in ethical domains have mainly been driven by what AI can or cannot do in terms of human capacities. In this paper, we tackle the problem from the other end by exploring what kind of moral machines areWhy should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity?

This thesis examines how contrasting corporate digital strategies shape frontline hotel employees’ ability to balance chain-level systems with local service responsiveness. The study treats chain-level digital systems as contemporary fixed elements of hotel formats by applying and building up on the Integration-Responsiveness framework, Flexible Replication, and sociotechnical perspectives, in par
Climate-focused study abroad relying on high-emitting travel poses a dilemma between study abroad and emission reductions. This study employs the three spheres of transformation investigating this dilemma through coding syllabi (n=156,) surveying educators (n=9,) and interviewing (n=14) Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) affiliates considering whether studying climate chang
Popular Abstract in English Airborne particulate matter is well known because of its adverse impacts on human health and its role in climate processes. In order to understand completely the role of aerosols in atmosphere, their chemical composition is of basic importance.

For decades, accessibility to the physical housing environment for people with functional limitations has been of interest politically, professionally and for the users Guidelines and norms on accessible housing design have gradually been developed, however the built environment shows serious deficits when it comes to accessibility This study addresses development of a content valid cross Nordic v
Stefan Larsson’s Conceptions in the Code makes a significant contribution to sociolegal analysis and also represents a valuable contribution to conceptual metaphor theory. By utilising the case of copyright in a digital context it explains the role that metaphor plays when the law is dealing with technological change, displaying both conceptual path-dependence as well as what is called non-legislaStefan Larsson's Conceptions in the Code contributes invaluably to socio-legal analysis and conceptual metaphor theory. By examining cases of digital copyright, Larsson elucidates the role that metaphor plays when law is accommodating technological change, displaying both conceptual path-dependence as well as non-legislative developments in law. Analyses draw from conceptual studies of property sp
The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely discussed among scholars and business leaders alike. Being able to adapt to this fourth industrial revolution is argued by many as necessary to stay competitive and to be profitable. Many companies today, however, have production lines built on legacy systems, as well as their own unique product challenges. This study aims to overcome these challenges by explo
Civic integration is something that states interpret differently in their formulation of citizenship requirements. Thinking of the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe, citizenship policy is an important issue because states will confront new residents who need to obtain a citizenship in order to start a new life and integrate in a foreign country. The aim of this study is to follow up with existing r
