Retrieving episodic memories often involves reconstructing both their semantic content and the emotional context in which they occurred. However, the neural mechanisms that differentiate these forms of reinstatement remain poorly understood. This event-related potential (ERP) study examines how semantic category and emotional valence are reinstated during memory retrieval.Seventy participants enco
Kalamang is Papuan language spoken by 150 people in the east of Indonesia. The language is threatened with extinction. This thesis treats mainly phonetics and phonology, but also gives an overview over parts of Kalamang grammar. Pronouns, demonstratives, nominal morphology and some basic syntax are discussed, among other things. The thesis also includes a word list with 700 Kalamang lexemes, and a
Vehicle models are often bound by non-disclosure agreements with manufacturers.This thesis presents a vehicle model based on vehicle data gathered for the NationalAdvanced Driving Simulator in Ohio and therefore it is not bound by such limitationsand can be used in future research projects.The development and validation of the vehicle model requires understanding of thesubsystems studied, componen
High energy prices recently have moved nuclear power back into the limelight. The biggest risk of nuclear industry has been large-scale accidents that give rise to ground deposition of long-lived fission products such as 137Cs, notably Chernobyl in 1986 (Ukraine) and Fukushima in 2011 (Japan). In Japan, extensive land remediation of residential areas was carried out at an estimated direct cost bet
Music education research in Sweden and across the Nordic countries has investigated questions of cultural diversity in music education for several decades. Greater cultural diversity in music education has also been a longstanding curricular goal. While interest in broadening cultural diversity in music education has been high, the extent to which these aspirations have impacted singing repertoire
Sexual dysfunction (SD), more specifically vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) in women, is increasingly recognized as a marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While extensive literature documents vasculogenic ED as an early warning sign of coronary artery disease (CAD) and other atherosclerotic manifestations, the evidence for analogous phenome
Claims have recently been made for a 'mobilities paradigm' which is challenging the relative 'a-mobile' focus of much of the social sciences. The agenda drawn up for this mobilities paradigm is clearly based on Northern trends with little consideration of the South. African populations have always been mobile but little is known about the mobility of urban populations and in particular of the yout
The early Phanerozoic has long been thought to have witnessed a decline in the ocean dissolved silicon inventory, but direct, quantitative investigations of dissolved silicon concentrations are missing. Silicon isotope fractionation by modern siliceous sponges is known to be related to ambient seawater silicon concentrations, opening a potential window onto reconstructions of silicon concentration
Mannosyl β-C-1 amidotriazoles have previously been reported to have higher selectivity for galectin-9N (N-terminal domain) than the corresponding galactoside C3 amidotriazoles have, which were more selective for galectin-3. This study further investigated this by synthesis of mono- and bis-aryltriazolyl mannoside analogues to known high-affinity galectin-3 galactosyl-derived inhibitors. Following
We explore mental health as a potential mechanism to explain the labor market penalty of an early-onset physical disability using administrative data from Sweden. For methodological reasons, we focus on persons with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and use prescriptions for mental health conditions. We examine how much of the differences in labor market outcomes is explained by prescriptions for mental health
The densification of European cities presents a critical challenge for solar access, particularly in high-latitude Nordic climates. While urban planning in Sweden defines the geometric boundaries of future buildings, there is no statutory requirement to evaluate the resulting solar access at this stage. At later design stages, the Swedish Building Regulations (BBR) mandate daylighting provision, w
The Swedish Institution of Education has recently been under debate. This is partly due to the matter that Swedish pupils’ performances have dramatically worsened. In an international study conducted through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), scholastic performance scores have dropped from being substantially above average to being below average compared to the 65 other cou
This study analyses the situation of information and communication technologies in Turkey with making a comparison by applying social capability and catch up theory between Turkey and EU-27 countries ICT production, export, diffusion, and usage among individuals and households, between 2007 and 2013. However, development of ICT industry has started after the industrialization; production and techn
CO2 Catalysis has been studied with Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) in combination with a mass spectrometer for a small, 23 cubic centimeters, cube shaped flow reactor. Both catalysis processes with one and with two catalysts inside the reactor have been carried out and analysed. Some results have been visualised by images showing concentration, given by the PLIF signal, of CO2 inside the
The architectural and engineering trend leads towards greater use of glass in buildings. Growing safety awareness often requires laminated glass. Laminated glass is formed as a sandwich of two or more sheets of glass and a plastic interlayer. Laminated glass can for example be used in stairs, floors, roofs, facades and balcony railings. This thesis deals with the most common interlayer polyvinyl
As many arthropods, telecoprid dung beetles are deeply affected by anthropogenic pressures, including the extensive use of pesticides. Ivermectin, the main endectocide employed to treat livestock nowadays, drives population and species loss, and causes locomotion and sensory disorders in dung beetles. Imidacloprid, the major insecticide used to combat crop pests, is highly toxic towards pollinator
In a world of rapid biodiversity loss, raptors are vulnerable due to their longevity and low reproductive rates. The red kite (Milvus milvus) is one of few migratory raptors breeding exclusively in Europe. It has previously experienced steep population declines caused mainly by persecution but mostly recovered, no longer classified as globally endangered. However, negative population trends persis
The Energy Services industry has a global footprint and an incredibly geographically and culturally diverse workforce. This research explores how storytelling is used in safety training in a multinational energy service organisation, particularly examining national cultural influences on storytelling, safety communications, and organisational learning. The subject organisation employs a variety
This thesis investigates the transition of Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) matter to a strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), where quarks and gluons become deconfined. The expansion of this plasma exhibits characteristics of an ideal relativistic hydrodynamics system, suggesting a behavior similar to that of a perfect fluid. Collective behavior, indicating a QGP phase, is studied through anis
