Att översätta värdeord i argumenterande text : svårigheten att balansera information och argumentation

Detta magisterarbete bygger på en översättning av Amnesty Internationals “briefing paper” angående vissa europeiska länders samarbete med CIA. Texten är publicerad på Amnestys internationella webbplats och översätts för att kunna publiceras på Amnestys svenska webbplats. Den första delen av arbetet är en källtextanalys som bygger på Hellspong och Ledins textanalysmodell i Vägar genom texten (1997)

Capping tendency in Mannitol based tablets: A DoE approach to study effects of filler, binder, binder concentration and compression force by means of instrumented tablet press and X-ray computed tomography

Studien genomfördes för att undersöka hur den mekaniska hållfastheten i tabletter kunde förbättras för att därmed kunna undvika en av de vanligaste tablettdefekterna, så kallad lockning. Tre formuleringar togs fram vilka resulterade i tabletter utan tendenser till lockning. Utöver det visade det sig möjligt att, genom en kemometrisk metod, förutspå det intervall av presskraft som genererar mekanisCapping and/or lamination occur as a result of low mechanical strength in tablets. The mechanical strength can be enhanced with suitable formulation- and process parameters for the tablet powder in question. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate capping tendencies of mannitol based tablets. More specifically, the effect of varied particle size of mannitol, type and concentration of bind

PFOS i Staffanstorps kommun - En kartläggning av förorenade områden och analys av spridningsförutsättningar

PFOS (Perfluoroktansulfonat) har genom sina unika ytaktiva och beständiga egenskaper använts i en mängd olika tillämpningar och blivit ett av jordens mest spridda ämnen. Metallytbehandling, hydrauloljor till flygplan och impregnering av textilier hör till ämnets användningsområden, men mest uppmärksammat är nog tillsatsen till brandsläckningsskum där PFOS är den aktiva beståndsdelen. Upprepade släPFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) has, through its unique surface active and non-reactive properties been used in a range of applications and has become one of the earth’s most wide spread substances. Metal plating, hydraulic fluids and textile repellants are among the chemical’s field of application, but most attention has probably been given the presence in fire-fighting foam, where PFOS constitu

The impact of context on followers' constructions of leadership

This thesis contends that focus within the leadership research has often been either on leaders or followers instead of acknowledging both parties. Similarly, fragmentation and ambiguity among followers’ constructions has often been ignored, underestimating the complexity of leadership as a social construction process. Additionally, even within more relational and social constructionist views, the

Environmental Governance in China: Centralization of Local Environmental Policy in the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan

The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan). The Prevention Plan introduces policies to enhance cooperation on a regional le

Using Fe-Ti oxides and trace element analysis to determine crystallization sequence of an anorthosite-norite intrusion, Älgön SW Sweden.

På Älgön, SV Sverige, finns en anortosit-norit intrusion tillhörande Hakefjordenkomplexet. Det finns dessutom två tillhörande enheter; en marginell monzonorit och en centralt belägen ilmenitberikad norit (IRL). I den ilmenitberikade noriten finns även olika sorters aggregat av Fe-Ti oxider. Genom att undersöka Mn-innehållet i ilmenit i alla litologiska enheter var det möjligt att få fram en kronolThe Hakefjorden Complex is an anorthosite-norite intrusion at Älgön, SW Sweden. There are two lithological units associated with it; a marginal monzonorite and a central Ilmenite-Rich Leuconorite (IRL). In the IRL there is a variety of aggregates of Fe-Ti oxides. By investigating Mn-content of ilmenite from all lithological units a chronological order of crystallization could be assessed; oxide ag

Evaluating Basigin promoter variants by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing

Background: Sequence variation within transcriptional factor binding sites can influence gene expression. We have found a four-nucleotide genetic variant in the Basigin (BSG) promoter region that disrupts a predicted GATA-1 binding site. BSG encodes a red blood cells surface protein on that is exploited as an invasion receptor by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Hence the identified var

BONUS BED

This project is inspired by a modern family constellation - the patchwork family. Now days a family not necessary consists of a mum and a dad and their biological children. A family can be a constellation of several families with children from earlier relations, siblings with different parents and step-children. A common situation in the patchwork family is that the number of family members varies

Hur påverkar buller? En studie om hörförståelse och kognition hos lågstadiebarn

Studien syftade till att undersöka huruvida bakgrundsljud påverkar hörförståelsen hos barn i tidig skolålder. Utöver detta genomförde vi ett arbetsminnestest för att ta reda på hur arbetsminneskapacitet korrelerar med hörförståelse samt om det föreligger en skillnad avseende hörförståelse för ljudmiljöerna med och utan buller, i det här fallet barnbabbel. Kunskapen är idag otillräcklig om hur ljud

Political Influences on the IASB Accounting Standard-Setting: The Case of the Leases Standard

This paper examines the role of powerful entities in shaping international accounting standards. The purpose of this thesis is to identify whether and to what extent the different actors influence changes in the leasing standard-setting process, and provide an in-depth understanding of the political influences throughout the development of the leasing accounting standard. In this paper the qualita

Går det att undvika vräkning av barnfamiljer?

Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i den politiska nollvisionen att inga barn ska vräkas. En utredning av gällande rätt klargör att även om det kan finnas en lagstadgad social rätt till bostad för barn så är denna inte så väldefinierad och reglerad att den är utkrävbar i domstol. Hyreslagen i jordabalkens 12:e kapitel ger så små möjligheter att i begränsade fall ta hänsyn till att barn kan beröras av en aThis study takes it start in the political vision zero regarding avoiding evictions of families with children. A thorough investigation of de lege lata gives the result that although Swedish law grants children a social right to housing this right is not defined to the point that it can be claimed in a court of law. Swedish rental property law, 12th chapter of the Land Code, jordabalken, gives nil

Implementation of solar energy in urban planning

Urban planners lack knowledge of how solar potential of buildings is affected by the decisions taken at an early design phase. Therefore, the solar potential metric SAFARn was analysed and the development of a tool for assessing the solar potential of buildings for integration of photovoltaic panels was studied in order to provide architects and urban planners with necessary information regarding

Temperature-mediated growth dynamics of a gadoid, the Northeast Arctic saithe (1992-2013)

A relationship between climate and growth of fish has long been established for many marine species. To ensure sustainable management of fisheries resources, knowledge of key processes governing productivity, population size and individual growth is paramount. The Northeast Arctic saithe stock is found along the coast of Norway north of 62º N, and despite being an important gadoid of high ecologic

Airpocket - A flood proof storage unit

Research show that rising sea levels and increased rainfall are expected to result in more floods in the future. The cellar is a place where many people store their most precious memories -things that insurance companies rarely can replace. To identify the need we used interviews, surveys and discussions with several victims of floods. With a focus on the coastal cities in Scania we defined the n

Three-dimensional constitutive finite element modeling of the Achilles tendon

Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. The best treatment is still debated, because the biomechanics of the tendons is not y

Hydropower in Cambodia : Competing discursive story-lines of a contested development path

This thesis uses discourse to analyze how different story-lines of hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin reproduce the concept of sustainable development. With actors advocating sometimes diametrically opposite development paths resulting in different social, economic and environmental trade-offs they all refer to and motivate their agendas in terms of sustainable development. I applied
