Realizing quantum information processing would be a paradigm shift in the way calculations and encryptions are used, and is as such a very attractive topic. On the hardware end, attempts on making architectures separating quantum processors and memories like in classical computers have been made. One type of possible quantum memory are group-V donor nuclear and electron spins in silicon, which exh
As part of the practices connected with folk medicine in Sweden, as well as in the rest of the Nordic countries, is an old literary genre grown from the combination of oral and literary traditions – svartkonstböcker, literally translated to black art books. These books were used by the professionals in the field of folk medicine, namely the wise old men and women. Contained in the books are ritual
By all accounts, the global climate as well as the Swedish climate will become warmer for the foreseeable future, with consequences that have largely not been experienced before in northern countries. More intense and longer heat waves will become a more common phenomenon, and with that, Swedish municipalities need to be prepared for the effects. As municipalities are responsible for much of the b
Inom det psykodynamiska fältet har det länge funnits en teoretisk medvetenhet om att avslutet i psykoterapi ofta väcker starka känslomässiga reaktioner hos patienter. Symtomökning vid avslut har förståtts som en naturlig och övergående reaktion på den stundande separationen. I studier har symtomökningen visats vara vanligare i psykodynamisk terapi och vara övergående med återhämtning efter avsluta
In 2022 and 2023, the prime minister and king of the Netherlands offered their official apologies on behalf of the Dutch state to the former Caribbean colonies for the injustices of slavery and colonialism. These apologies aimed to address both historical transgressions and the contemporary legacies of the injustices. This thesis studies how the apologies by the prime minister and king framed the
Honor-culture related issues have been debated for a long time. In recent years, more active measures have been implemented by government directives, including a new curriculum where honor-culture related issues become part of sexual education. The purpose of this essay was to investigate the school counselor's experience of their role in the preventative work against honor-culture related opp
Till skillnad från andra immateriella rättigheter är i princip det varumärkesrättsliga skyddet inte tidsbegränsat. Detta medför att företag, istället för eller som ett komplement till patent eller mönsterskydd, kan se en möjlighet i att söka varumärkesregistrering för funktionell respektive estetisk design. Därför finns det i varumärkeslagstiftningen absoluta registreringshinder vilka innefattar aUnlike other Intellectual Property Rights, trademark law does not have any time restrictions concerning protection possibilities. This constitutes companies to apply for trademark protection for functional or aesthetical designs instead of, or as a supplement to, patent and design protection. Therefore, there are absolute grounds for refusal that include that a sign with either a technical result
Today densification of existing urban fabric is the main strategy for how to sustainably meet the needs of a growing population. But what does this development mean for ecological values inside of the city? Historically, we have thought of cities and the human kind as apart from nature, as a defense from wilderness and natural forces. Today we can no longer think only of ourselves as vulnerable to
Digital interviews about digital meetings Curators about young people, changing working methods and digital divide This study aims to investigate the experience of digital change for different curators in Sweden, with a particular focus on young people's psychosocial health during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is centered around a number of questions, such as; 1) What is central in curat
Handling of problematic waste material, and the use of fossil-based and non-biodegradable plastics are two major sustainability challenges. By developing solutions that convert waste material to bioplastics, it is possible to address both these issues. Every year, large quantities of feathers from the poultry industry are either stored in landfills or disposed of by incineration. The company Bioex
The utilization of groundwater for the use of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is of growing interest in the world. The technique is seen as an environmentally friendly and cheap solution for the purpose of heating and cooling large buildings. Research has shown that an ATES will have physical, chemical and biological consequences for the environment. This study assesses how the consequences
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us
Arbetet ämnar ge ett teoretiskt perspektiv på utformningen av det svenska lagspråket. Genom en retorisk argumentationsanalys, grundad i Chaïm Perelmans teori om föreställda publiker och Lloyd Bitzers teori om den retoriska situationen, utreds konsumentlagstiftningen i sin egenskap som meningsbärare mellan en retorisk avsändare och en retorisk mottagare. Den gamla och den nya konsumentköplagen jämfThe thesis aims to provide a theoretical perspective on the language used in the Swedish law. Through a rhetorical argumentation analysis, grounded in Chaïm Perelman’s theory of perceived audiences and Lloyd Bitzer’s theory of the rhetorical situation, the consumer sales act is investigated in its capacity as a carrier of meaning between a speaker and an audience. The old and the new consumer sale
Efficient bioconversion of the pentose xylose is vital for the development of competent lignocellulose biorefineries. Although many proper attempts of metabolic engineering for recombinant xylose utilization have been made in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, growth on xylose is still far from being optimal. Previous findings point out a more complex explanation to this feature involving interactions betw
Carbonatite is an unusual type of rock that, for a long time, were not accepted for what they really are. This group of rocks is now considered to be of igneous origin and is classified after its content of carbonate minerals. If it exceed 50% the rock will be named a carbonatite. This group of rocks can be found all over the world and two of these places, which this review will focus on, are the
