Planning Processes in Speaking, Texting, and Writing – The effect of reader’s and listener’s temporal and spatial presence on planning in language production

This thesis investigates planning processes in language production, more specifically in texting as compared to speaking and writing, through pauses analyses (Goldman Eisler, 1969; Matsuhashi, 1981). Texting is used to examine the role of the spatial and temporal presence of a listener/reader in language production. Texting offers an interesting context in this respect since it has spatial absence

“Everything is difficult in a place where everything is foreign” - A study of female immigrants’ experiences of living in Denmark and suffering domestic violence

This thesis is a case study exploring the experiences of female immigrants living in Denmark and of suffering gender-based domestic violence. Through a phenomenological analysis, the thesis investigates the stories told by female immigrants in interviews collected specifically for this thesis as well as for the podcast project Merantis. By investigating female immigrants’ experiences of suffering

Effects of thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide on Candida

Ett nytt alternativ till att behandla Candida I dagens samhälle finns det väldigt få mediciner tillgängliga för att bota svampinfektioner. Av de alternativ som finns, är många ineffektiva eller kopplade till bieffekter. Den vanligaste svampsorten som är ansvarig för svampinfektioner är Candida. Candida är också benägen att utveckla resistans mot medicinerna som finns, därför är behovet till att hInfections due to the opportunistic fungus Candida have been on the rise the last decades, especially in immunocompromised individuals and in hospital settings. Unfortunately, the treatments available today are limited, especially because of their severe side effects in patients, increase of multi-drug resistance and the eukaryotic nature of Candida. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide 25 (TCP-25)

An Estimation of the Economic Impact of Three Covid-19 Stimulus Packages

This paper evaluates the effects of the economic reactions to the coronavirus crisis in Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. By using a structural vector autoregressive model we find the effect of a change in government spending, tax revenue and interest rates on GDP and unemployment. By calculating the effect found in historic data, we can estimate how the corona stimulus

Arrenderättens förverkande - grunder för upphörande och skillnader beroende på hur arrendet klassificeras

Det hör till ovanligheten att arrende upphör att gälla till följd av förverkande. Reglerna om förverkande har högt ställda krav på överträdelse för att sådant yrkande ska bifallas. De i 8 kap. 23 § JB uppradade förverkandegrunderna får vid överträdelse inte vara av ringa betydelse och övriga grunder som stödjer yrkandet om förverkande ska vara av synnerlig vikt för jordägaren. Utöver de högt ställLeaseholds that ceases due to forfeiture rarely happens. In order to successfully claim the cease of leasehold due to forfeiture, the violation needs to be significant. Swedish Land and Cadastral Legislation (Land Code) contains the grounds of forfeiture and it also states that the matter needs to be more than minor importance. The general clause, which means a violation not directly stated in the

Reglering av solcellers omriktare

Det blir allt vanligare med solceller hos konsumenter uppkopplade till lågspänningsnätet och stora mängder solel leder till överspänningar i elnätet. Denna överspänning är en av faktorerna som begränsar mängden solel i ett nät/område, och måste därför kunna regleras. Av flera olika metoder så hanterar detta arbete en undersökning av scenariot med spänningsreglering via reaktiv effekt, främst med PSolar cells are becoming increasingly common in the low voltage grid. Large amounts of solar power can lead to overvoltages in the electricity grid. This overvoltage is one of the factors that limit the amount of solar in a network/area. In order to allow an increasing amount of solar power, the voltage must be regulated. This work examines a scenario with voltage control by reactive power and act

The Moral of the Story: Growing up in A Gossip’s Story, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre and Little Women

In nineteenth-century literature, the heroine is often a young woman growing up and learning about the restrictions of gender and society. If she learns from the mistakes she is inevitably going to make, she may be rewarded … with a suitor? How does this correlate, who are the heroines and who are the suitors? This essay aims to answer these questions, along with evaluating parents in literature a

Detecting Offside Position using 3D Reconstruction

With the increased number of technical innovations in soccer and the progress in the field of AI, this thesis investigates the possibilities to detect if a player is in offside position using deep learning and video recordings from soccer games. A method to create a 3D reconstruction of the players in the scene is proposed and evaluated. The arguments for using a 3D reconstruction is that it intro

Inducing plasmacytoid dendritic like-cells with cell reprogramming

Inducing plasmacytoid dendritic-like cells with cell reprogramming Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of immune cell with the ability to take up self and foreign molecules, process them and present a small part of them to T cells, another immune cell that can generate specific immune responses. DCs are subdivided in conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). cDCs a

CONVERSATIONS WITH CONSERVATIONISTS

This study aims to contribute towards the existing literature of volunteer tourism by evaluating the impacts that volunteering has on career progression. There exists a plethora of research on volunteer tourism, focusing on the various motivations to volunteer and the diverse positive and negative impacts that volunteering has on host communities. However, there is less research on the impact it h

Relativistic attosecond electron pulses by laser wakefield acceleration

Generering av ultrakorta elektronpulser med hjälp av laseracceleration Hur snabb är den snabbaste processen som vi kan observera? Och hur litet är detminsta objektet? Kort sagt så kan vi inte se snabbare än vad ett slutarljus tillåter,eller objekt mindre än den minsta möjliga våglängden. Vad menar jag då med det? Jo, om vi vill ta stillbilder av en galopperande häst, utan att bilden blir suddig,The search for cheaper and more compact accelerators has led to the development of laser-driven plasma-based accelerators. In comparison to conventional particle accelerators, the plasma-based accelerator is inherently insensitive to the breakdown of the acceleration structure and therefore greater accelerating fields can be obtained. One such setup, which is used to accelerate electrons, is the l

Bonds Portfolio liquidity risk under stress

Abstract The focus of this thesis is to study and model the capacity of the bank to trade on the bonds market under normal and stressed conditions. This capacity is related to the liquidity of bonds market (ie, the ability to trade) and bank’s trading desks capacity to trade. All banks have different models but all are subject to the validation of the bank in a first place and the EU Central Bank

Detta arbete behandlar överslagsdimensionering av plattrambroar, och syftar till att undersöka hur kostnads- och miljöaspekter påverkas av ramens tjocklek för vanliga spännvidder och fria höjder. Detta för att ge ett bättre utgångsläge vid dimensionering av plattrambroar för framtida projekt. En plattrambro modelleras och analyseras med hjälp av programvaran BRIGADE/Standard och parametrarna spännThis study aims to make a preliminary design of an integral bridge with frame abutments, and to see how the frame’s thickness for common spans and heights affects cost and environmental aspects. This is done to give a better starting point when designing slab bridges in future projects. A slab bridge is modelled and analysed with the use of the computer software BRIGADE/standard with parameters su

Leadership and teamwork in safety-critical systems

Devastating catastrophes during the 1980s together with recent years’ fatal accidents, including the Boeing 737 MAX plane crashes in 2018 and 2019, have altogether highlighted the need for researchers’ attention within the field of safety-critical systems. Additionally, as a result from technological advancement and globalization, the prevalent complexity and ambiguity within today’s systems conti

A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. H
