As smart and as stupid, as well- and ill-informed, as curious and closed-minded as any random sample, tourists represent a unique object of study, as they are “the last remaining class that exhibits consciousness for itself” (MacCannell, 2013 p.xix). Technology has been transforming the tourist experience deeply, as it both fulfils a functional purpose of performing tasks for humans, and it holds
I Sveriges centrala inland finns det allt från enstaka sanddyner till stora dynfält som täcker mer än 10 km2. Dessa dynfält passerar dock oftast obemärkt i landskapet på grund av det oftast markanta vegetationstäcke som fixerar dessa dyner. De är dock värdefulla för att kunna återskapa forna tiders klimat och vindmönster, men tyvärr har förhållandevis lite forskning angående dessa dyner bedrivits In the Swedish inland there are aeolian deposits present, ranging from scattered single dunes to dune fields of more than 10 km2. These dune fields often pass unnoticed since they presently are covered by vegetation. However, they contain a rich palaeoenvironmental archive. Only a few research papers have been published regarding these aeolian deposits during the last 90 years. The primary scope o
Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been linked to mitochondrial defects, which could manifest in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms or mutations. Additionally, copy number of mtDNA (mtDNA-cn) can be quantified in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)s, indirectly reflecting cellular energetics, or in the circulating cell-free mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA) levels, which may reflect a fraction of the
We outline a framework to study the use of mathematics in physics classrooms. The framework focuses on the relations made between Reality, Theoretical models and Mathematics. In this paper the analyses of one teacher and her 3rd year classes at secondary school are presented. The results show that phenomena in reality are often used as a short prelude to put focus on the relationship theoretical m
Detta examensarbete utfördes i samarbete med LVI, Low Vision International AB för att utveckla ett nytt arbetsplatsanpassat system för personer med nedsatt syn. Företaget är specialiserat på att utveckla, producera och sälja olika typer av tekniska synhjälpmedel i Sverige, Europa och USA. De hjälpmedel som utvecklas på LVI består till största del av förstorande läskameror som finns i olika utföranThis thesis objective was to design a workplace integrated system for people with visual impairment for LVI, Low Vison International. The system is in the same category of video magnifiers as the company’s other products and it was desired from the company that the product maintained the overall LVI design language. Initially a pre-study was performed that consisted of identifying the user, analy
In Political Science a main theory is that a minimal winning coalition (MWC) will participate in the government. The parties included have to share the power of government. Therefore the winning coalition to be expected is the one including the fewest parties possible. My paper will atempt to examine if this is the main pattern in Swedish municipalities. My experience indicates that the ?Alliance
This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and
Matematiska fåglar Uppmärksamhet, inlärning, minne och problemlösning är processer som ingår i området för kognitionsvetenskap. Numerisk kompetens är förmågan att göra en numerisk bedömning, från den enklaste nivån att skilja mellan ”mer” eller ”mindre” till förmågan att räkna. Länge ansågs numerisk kompetens vara unikt för människan. Under årens lopp har forskare dock kunnat avfärda denna uppfatNumerical competence can be explained as the ability to make a numerical judgement, from simple assessment of relative amounts in two piles of food to true numerical counting. Hence numerical abilities have been examined in four categories; (I) relative numerousness judgements; ability to discriminate quantities between “more” and “less”. (II) subitizing; the ability to make an accurate judgement
Objective: Inflammation is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicidal behavior. According to the ‘leaky gut hypothesis’, increased intestinal permeability may contribute to this relationship via bacterial translocation across enterocytes. We measured plasma levels of gut permeability markers, in patients with a recent suicide attempt (rSA), MDD subjects with no history of a suici
The pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the accumulation of aggregated -synuclein, which has been suggested to begin in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we determined the capacity of the appendix to modify PD risk and influence pathogenesis. In two independent epidemiological datasets, involving more than 1.6 million individuals and over 91 million person-years, we observed that rem
Abstract in UndeterminedTo study the phenomenology of hypnotic virtuosos, theauthor employed a 2 (hypnosis vs. control) × 3 (quiescent, pedaling astationary bike, having a motor pedal the bike) within-subjects designwith quantitative and qualitative measures. In a “neutral hypnosis”context with the only suggestion being to go as deeply into hypnosisas possible, participants reported alterations in
