An interesting phenomenon seen in Japanese translations of foreign women’s speech is the tendency to make them speak using women’s language. Women’s language in Japanese refers to a set of characteristics, consisting mainly of sentence final forms such as wa or kashira, that form a speech norm for women. Japanese women generally do not use this type of language, yet foreign women commonly speak it

Smart furniture is being more and more common in our homes. This thesis combines the growing interest in smart homes and farming of flowers and vegetables. The goal is to determine and characterize the parameters one has to take into consideration in order to design of a smart system for indoor farming. A shelf in a module concept is the focus and the piece of furniture that the investigations ar

Vid byggnation är det viktigt att kontrollera de geologiska förutsättningarna som råder i jorden där strukturen skall byggas. För att säkerställa kravet på funktionaliteten av den nya strukturen är det därför viktigt att undersöka vilka potentiella geotekniska problem som kan påträffas samt att förebygga att dessa problem uppstår. Idag används ett flertal programvaror för att dimensionera geokonstWhenever a new building is to be constructed it is important to check the geological preconditions of the underlaying soil. To ensure the requirement on the functionality of the new structure it is therefore of importance to investigate the potential geotechnical problems that may occur and to prevent these from occuring. Today, many different software are used for different geotechnial design. Th

The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the Swedish approach to managing the Covid- 19 pandemic, by putting it in context to recent Swedish socio-economic and demographic development. The research question reads “to what extent does the public discussion on the Covid-19 pandemic build on elements associated with advanced liberalism?”, which has been examined by the aid of a qualitative conte

Syftet med studien är att förstå politiken om åtgärder för unga myndiga lagöverträdare genom att analysera de argument som förs fram av centrala parter. Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ dokumentstudie med teorin om anspråksformulering som vetenskapsteoretisk utgångspunkt. Mitt urval är följande politiska dokument: Riksdagspartiernas kriminalpolitiska program, statens offentliga utredning, riksdagsdThe aim of the study is to understand the policy arguments regarding measures for young offenders of age 18 by analyzing the arguments that are presented by central parties. I have completed a qualitative document study with claims-making as a theory. My selection is the following political documents: Criminal policy program, state public inquiry, policy debate about young offenders and referral r

In this thesis, the mass singularities occurring in the cross-section of electron scattering processes are investigated. Two types of scatterings are studied: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) scatterings, and Perturbative Quantum Gravity (PQG) scatterings. We show how mass singularities in QED and PQG cancel when real and virtual diagrams are included in the scattering cross-section. We find that in

Despite the consensus that reading is good for the individual, teachers seem to report the existence of a different mindset in the classroom as they struggle to motivate students to read. Research has indicated the existence of a growing gap between weak and strong readers, and that the fast-paced and technologically advanced society of today is noticeably affecting students’ reading habits. Howev

Miljöproblemen har länge varit ett aktuellt och omtalat diskussionsämne som man aktivt jobbat för att begränsa och minska människans negativa klimatpåverkan med målsättningar samt nya lagar och krav. Byggsektorn står idag för en betydande del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp och för att ha möjlighet att uppnå de mål som finns i Parisavtalet krävs åtgärder i byggbranschen. Klimatneutralitet är ett relaThe environmental problems have for a long time been a current and highly spoken topic of discussion which one has actively worked to limit and reduce the human's negative climate impact with agreements, laws and requirements. Today the constructions sector stands for a significant part of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions and to be able to achieve the goals in the Paris Agreement, measure

This dissertation analyses the representations of Norway, Denmark and Sweden in Scottish travel literature towards the end of the Georgian Era. By comparing two travel accounts, I aim to identify both the authors’ approach to the Nordic countries as well as their reflections on their own national identity. The primary sources used are Henry David Inglis’ A Personal Narrative of a Journey through N

Den här masteruppsatsen är utförd i samarbete med Axis Communications AB och utforskar hur pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) kameror kan vibrationsdämpas och vilka nya miljöer PTZ-kameror skulle kunna användas i om vibrationerna dämpades. För att upptäcka nya potentiella användningsmiljöer, intervjuades personer inom Axis organisation med insikt i vibration, produktledning och försäljning. Användningsmiljöer sThis master’s thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. It explores how pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras can be vibration proofed and which new environments PTZ cameras could be used in if vibration proofed. Members of Axis’ organization with insight in vibration, product management, and sales were interviewed to identify possible new areas of use. Environments deemed relevant

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), theforemost legal instrument that defines and protects Indigenous rights, is groundbreaking because it centers the voices of Indigenous peoples and pushes back on the colonial undertones of the United Nations human rights framework. While this declaration represents a landmark in the fight for Indigenous rights, it is non

Tänk dig en värld utan fossila bränslen och en värld med mindre plast. Låter det som något du vill uppleva? Då behöver vi satsa på grön plast, en plast det behövs mindre av! Precis som Greta Thunberg säger så måste vi bli mer miljövänliga för att rädda vår planet. För att kunna ersätta PET-plast, plasten som används i allt från läskflaskor till förpackningar, med ett bättre alternativ måste det To support the transition into green plastics, the upscaling and economic analysis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) synthesis from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was done. The project can be described as a plant-to-plastics process, with sugar beet-derived HMF as a starting point. The final product in this upscaled process can be further processed into polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF).

This study investigates the seemingly increasing spread of accentedness within Japanese i-adjectives in lexical final form, shuushikei, and adnominal form, rentaikei, by conducting an online survey containing Likert scale questions. Once the data had been collected, the informants were separated into age groups and their results compared between each other. In addition, the current results were co

Background: The workplace setting is a prioritized arena for health promotion to battle non-communicable diseases. App-based interventions have shown promise to be useful tools for workplace-based health promotion. However, the effects of app-based interventions have been found to be moderate. The aim of this study is to construct a conceptual model explaining how a health promotion app, that is i

In each electric vehicle there is an energy storage part and a propulsion part to drive the vehicle in the desired direction. To make them compatible with each other and at the same time have a good efficiency, there is need for a system that transfers energy from the batteries to the motor. In electric drive systems this energy transfer is done with different converters and the converter that is

Entanglement production is one of the properties of interest when studying nanoscale systems. Not only does entanglement between subsystems hints at other non-classical behaviour and effects that may be of interest to applications; the resource of entangled systems themselves is one on which many future devices and protocols may depend on. In this thesis work, a system of two quantum dots coupled

The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, the famous international mathematical journal. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with complex analysis. The Mittag-Leffler theorem which built on Karl Weierstrass' work asserts the existence of meromorphic function with prescribed poles and principal parts. The main purpo
