Depressioner och ångestsyndrom har ökat i hela ungdomspopulationen, samsjuklighet är vanligt vilket ökar behovet av multimodala evidensbaserade behandlingsmetoder. Ett exempel är Unified Protocol (UP) som fokuserar på transdiagnostiska kärnmekanismer vid emotionella störningar. Syftet med uppsatsen var att utvärdera UP i gruppformat för ungdomar med depressions- och ångeststörningar vid en BUP-motDepression and anxiety disorders have increased throughout the youth population, comorbidity is common, which increases the need for multimodal evidence-based treatment methods. One example is the Unified Protocol (UP), which focuses on transdiagnostic mechanisms in emotional disturbances. The purpose of the study was to evaluate UP in group format for adolescents with depression and anxiety disor

Factors influencing and improving a student’s academic attainments, in particular, test scores, are an essential concern for academics as well as policymakers. In this thesis, I add a student’s ordinal rank, calculated from underlying test scores, as a new input factor to the education production function. By using experimental data on primary schools in the United States, I assess whether the ord

Fingerprint recognition is a well-known problem in pattern recognition and widely used in contemporary authentication technology such as access devices in mobile phones. The subject of this thesis is to investigate the applicability of convolutional neural networks for fingerprint recognition. This is accomplished by designing various network architectures for this task. Our starting-point is an a

Lignin is found in nature as one of the most abundant biopolymers. The large amounts of lignin generated as a by-product or waste from mainly pulp and paper industry have great potential as a source of renewable (aromatic) carbon and could be applied for production of platform chemicals in the proposed circular economy/biorefinery concept. Due to the heterogenous lignin polymer structure, its degr

There has been a dramatic growth in organizations aiming to leverage the power of platform business models and capture the vast amounts of value stemming from external innovation. Thus, actors are required to open up their innovation processes to third-party developers, and make sure these external resources are incentivized to both enter and remain in the ecosystem. So far, there has been a limit

Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas

This thesis was done in collaboration with, and on behalf of, One Nordic AB. The purpose was to examine the system One Demand, a system used for sampling measurement data, to begin the development of a new version of the system. The new system is comprised of two parts, a central unit and a graphical user interface. The first step was to find a single board computer, on which the computer program

A novel strategy for the synthesis of indolines, using a reaction between vinyl epoxide and 2-iodoaniline, followed by cyclisation by intramolecular Heck coupling, have been investigated. Synthesis of an indoline was not completed. Synthesis of an eight-membered, cyclical vinyl epoxide as substrate was unsuccessful. Reaction between 2-iodoaniline and terminal epoxide appear to lack region-specific

Rapid spread of antibiotic resistance is currently one of the greatest threats to human health according to the World Health Organization [1] [2]. It is directly connected to horizontal gene transfer of plasmids, wherein resistance-coding genes often appear as structural variations (SVs). Therefore, developing comprehensive and rapid tools for detecting SVs is of great importance in both clinical

Mot bakgrund av utvecklingen på bostadsmarknaden under senare år har det blivit uppenbart att konsumentskyddet vid köp av nyproducerade bostadsrätter är otillräckligt. Lagstiftningen erbjuder inte ett rättsligt skydd i samma utsträckning som på andra konsumentmarknader. Med beaktande av att nyproducerade bostadsrätter ofta står för stora ekonomiska värden innebär det att transaktionen kan få en avDue to the development on the housing market during the past years it has been evident that the consumer legal protection that regulate the transaction when in process of buying a newly produced apartment with condominium is insufficient. The legislation does not offer a legal protection in line with what is normally found on other consumer markets. This is something that the legislator deems nece

I det här arbetet beskriver jag min användning av grafiska partitur som verktyg för komposition och hur det har påverkat mig som kompositör och musiker. Jag har med utgångspunkt i olika typer av grafiska partitur komponerat stycken för olika typer av ensembler och musikaliska kontexter. Texten beskriver hur dessa olika metoder har påverkat mig i min skapande-process och vilka olika verktyg jag har

Energi från förnybara källor står idag enbart för 13,8% av världens totala energiproduktion. Detta är ett för lågt värde om det ska vara möjligt att nå målet om en klimatneutral ekonomi senast år 2050. En möjlig lösning för att öka mängden förnybar energi är genom att processera en biprodukt som vetehalm för att producera stora mängder bioetanol. Processen inleds med att vetehalmen förbehandlas tiAs of today, renewable energy accounts for only 13.8 % of the total world energy supply. This number must increase if we want to have a climate neutral economy by 2050. One possible way to increase the renewable energy percentage is by processing and using a byproduct such as wheat straw to make bioethanol. This process involves a pretreatment of the wheat straw into a pressed and pulverized mater

This thesis examines how the composition and properties of the waste that is treated with energy recovery may change based on today's decided legislation and actors' goals and activities. Specifically, municipal waste and operational waste from all kinds of businesses that is treated with energy recovery in the region of Stockholm has been investigated. The study, carried out in collaborat

De senaste åren har flera straffskärpningar gjorts inom lagstiftningen, inte minst för unga lagöverträdare. Den här studien syftar till att analysera de möj-liga konsekvenser på samhället och påföljdssystemet som ett förslag på såd-ana straffskärpningar gällande unga myndiga i åldern 18-20 år, kan ge. Betän-kandet 2018:85 Slopad straffrabatt för unga myndiga ligger till grund för denna studie. DetIn the last few years there has been several increases in the severity of pun-ishment within the Swedish legal system. This is especially true for the legis-lation concerning young offenders. This study aims to analyze the possible consequences on the society and the penalty system that a proposal for such increased penalties can have on young adults aged 18-20 years.

This thesis examines the relationship between economic growth and sustainable wellbeing. It evaluates the ability of GDP per capita to capture a how efficiently a country delivers long, happy lives using the limited environmental resources available, as measured by the Happy Planet Index (HPI). The purpose of the study is to see if a measure such as the HPI would be more appropriate than GDP per c
