The use of motion expressions to describe objects that are actually static (e.g. “The train tracks curves through the mountain”) has been of interest within the fields of linguistics and cognitive science for at least three decades (e.g. Langacker, 1990; Matsumuto, 1996; Talmy, 2000a; Matlock, 2004a; Zlatev & Blomberg, 2013). In this thesis, such descriptions will be referred to as Non-Actual

Awara Ahmed Kontroll i butik med fokus på Listeria monocytogens och hållbarhet av egentillverkade produkter Listerios Listeria monocytogens orsakar ett sjukdomstillstånd som kallas för listerios, det vanligaste sättet att få listeriosinfektion är genom kontaminerade livsmedel. Infektionen är ovanligt men allvarligt sjukdom. De individer som främst drabbas av listerios är äldre, personer med nListeria monocytogens causes the disease listeriosis, and the most common way the infection is spreading in the environment is believed to be through food. Listeriosis is a rare infection, but can cause serious symptoms in risk groups as the elderly, people with compromised immunesystems, pregnant women and their fetuses, mortality rate is 20-30%. There are two types of listeriosis, the first one

Pelare som utsätts för tryck kan behöva stabiliseras för att inte böja ut oönskat mycket i sidled. För att stabilisera pelaren måste fjäderstyvheten i det stabiliserande stödet vara tillräckligt stort. Detta för att undvika instabilitetsbrott men också för att fjäderkraften i stödet inte ska bli för stor. För en pelare med en led i toppen och i botten beräknas vanligen Eulers knäckningslast P_e=(Columns under vertical point loads will need a brace in order not to bend out in a mode of column buckling. To stabilize the column, a sufficient brace stiffness needs to be given, both to avoid column instability and to reduce the horizontal force which occurs in the brace. Column buckling is usually determined by Eulers buckling formula P_e=(π^2 EI)/l^2 . This is the value when buckling occurs r
