Det är känt inom den typologiska lingvistiken att spatial rörelse uttrycks på olika sätt på olika språk. På svenska uttrycks ofta en rörelses sätt i verbroten och dess riktning i en till verbet knuten satellit (S-språk), då franskan vanligtvis däremot uttrycker rörelsens riktning i verbroten och utelämnar dess sätt (V-språk). Svensktalande föredrar i en given situation ett uttryck som en uggla komIt is well known within typological linguistics that the expression of motion is language-specific. In Swedish the manner of a motion is typically expressed in a verb while the path of motion is expressed in a satellite connected to the verb (S- languages), whereas, in French, typically the path of motion is expressed in the verb and the manner is omitted. This explains why speakers of Swedish see

Increasing global focus on sustainable palm oil (SPO) initiatives has led to discussions of smallholder integration at the bottom of the supply chain. In 2019, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) introduced a new standard for independent smallholders. Meanwhile, through Presidential Regulation no. 44 of 2020, the President of Indonesia recently made Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO)

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka om och hur maskulina identiteter skapas i texter om skönhetsvård i samtida manliga livsstilsmagasin genom att jämföra hur den tänka läsaren/konsumenten skapas i svenska King och Elle, två modemagasin som riktar sig mot män respektive kvinnor. Den undersöker även om tidningen King använder strategier för att distansera sig från den feminint präglade disku

Active suspensions of microswimmers such as bacteria or microalgae are found in oceans or lakes, and within living organisms, such as the human body. These suspensions can exhibit complex flow patterns and enhanced diffusion of passive tracer particles due to the advection from the long-ranged dipolar flow fields of the swimmers. The diffusion of tracers at varying radii is poorly understood but o

The widespread consequences of climate change are becoming more and more evident around the world and are raising crucial awareness to world leaders that a sustainable transition is direly needed to mitigate against disastrous climatic events. In Australia, in early 2020, these events took the form of some of the most devastating and largest forest fires the country has ever seen. This devastation

The parents growing interest towards children clothing has become apparent when following Finnish media during the past years. In similar vein consumer culture literature has noticed the rise of clothing markets for newborns. It is scientifically proven that consumption objects have a significant role in life transitional phases. Symbolic meanings of consumption objects are used to facilitate the

Significant behavioral changes will need to be implemented to prevent the energy supply sector from tripling CO2 emissions by the midcentury. However, within the academic research, behavior changes remain primarily focused on the individual level, while the behavior of companies that are responsible for elevated greenhouse gas emissions falls behind. This master’s thesis analyses the core values

Inom kollektivtrafiken digitaliseras biljett- och betalsystem för att utveckla smartare tjänster som når fler resenärer och konkurrerar med nya mobilitetstrender. I Sverige ses en övergång till mobila biljett- och betalsystem, där mobiltelefoner blir primär biljettbärare. I samband med digitalisering av samhällstjänster får äldre det allt svårare att få vara delaktiga i samhället. Det finns brist

This paper is an exploratory study of how destination images are projected in online travel vlogs. Destination image plays a significant role in influencing tourists’ purchase decision, therefore building and maintaining a desired image is important for destination marketing organizations (DMO). However, with the prevalence of social media, tourists’ perceived destination image is largely affected

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, defined by abnormal accumulation of proteins, both extracellularly (senile plaques, consisting of amyloid-beta(Aβ) accumulation) and intracellularly (neurofibrillary tangles, formed by Tau protein). Several studies demonstrate that the immune cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, but it is not known if immune cells from the peri

In Sweden, risk- and vulnerability assessments, including dependency analyses, are required by law for public actors who are of vital societal functions or critical infrastructure. However, there is a lack of guidance regarding how to perform this kind of analysis. Electrical power is one of the strongest dependencies of our society today. Thus, it is interesting to examine how the dependency of e

Abstract This study aims to examine how Helsingborg City handles the balance between creating a strong city brand and at the same time being responsive, listen to and involve the city’s residents. The empirical material in this study consists of five semi-structured interviews with people who are involved in the communicative and brand building work at the city of Helsingborg, as well as three str

Today, organizational competitiveness largely depends on a company’s ability to learn, which is why more and more organizations aim to enhance organizational learning through practicing Knowledge Management (KM). Due to the little research on organizational culture and subcultures in KM literature, practitioners often embark on KM change efforts in a technocratic fashion and focus solely on techno

The winter of 2020 was dominated by Canadian and international news coverage about a group of indigenous land defenders in Northern British Columbia, Canada. At the centre of the media frenzy was a pipeline conflict involving an indigenous community, namely, the Wet’suwet’en Nation, and Canada’s largest private sector investment ever which is set to cross directly through Wet’suwet’en territory. T

The importance of spaces of resistance lies in their ability to subvert and even change the hegemonic discourse. However, and despite extensive research on geopolitics and space-making processes, little has been said on the power that subaltern spaces can have in this area. Thus, it is the aim of this thesis to demonstrate the existence and strength of these space-making practices – which I choose

Purpose: even in the era of exponential increase in the amount of stellar data gathered, binaries are still often overlooked in observational data due to the special handling they require. The goal of this work is to develop a method capable of automatically and efficiently identifying and extract double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) from a spectroscopic survey, while being scalable and techn

On the north east coast of the Caribbean island Grenada, there´s an abandoned airport. This extraordinary environment is located in a valley between tropical mountains covered by lush rain forest. The landing stripe is a 1,5-kilometer-long runway of history, facing the rough Atlantic Ocean. Grenada has already suffered badly from hurricanes and tropical storms. While climate changes are evolving

Hållbarhet och digitalisering är två mycket omtalade ämnen idag, och något som genomsyrar samhället på såväl global som lokal nivå. Vår studie syftar till att undersöka hur vi med hjälp av modern teknologi, mer specifikt smarta kylskåp, kan minska matsvinnet i det privata hushållet. Genom kvantitativa och kvalitativa undersökningsmetoder, i form av intervjuer respektive en enkätundersökning, har v
