Interjections are a group of some of the more overlooked words in the field of linguistics. Many people see them as meaningless noise or non-words without purpose. It follows that many people consider them to be completely instinctive utterances which we can use freely. The flaw in this argument becomes clear when one looks at a language other than one's native language, as the interjections o

Problem definition Since 1995, the vehicle-gas market has been growing at a rapid pace. One segment that has not kept up with this development is the heavy gas-powered trucks. One explanation is that the existing gas-powered trucks cannot compete against the traditional diesel trucks. Some examples of attributes that makes the gas alternative less attractive are engine power, efficiency, driving d

Problem definition: Companies competing in a market environment are trying to improve their competitiveness. A widespread company strategy is to focus on the core operations and competencies and outsource non-core activities. Managing companies’ vehicle fleets is often considered non-core operations which have led to the creation of the operational vehicle leasing industry. It means that the leasi

In this proj

Uppsatsen har till syfte att djupare granska säljande och köpande parts friskrivning och dess räckvidd vid köp respektive försäljning av fordon i ”befintligt skick”. Det då bilar är en komplicerad produkt och reparationerna kan oftast bli väldigt kostsamma. Det blir således svårt för en köpare att ta in alla de faktorer som krävs för att göra ett bra bilköp, där pris och varans faktiska värde hål

The occurrence of autistic traits measured by the social responsiveness scale, SRS, in a Swedish clinical sample of children age 8-12 diagnosed with ADHD was analyzed and found significantly elevated in comparison with a demographically similar control group. 28 children 4 girls and 24 boys diagnosed with ADHD were included in the ADHD group. 25 children 4 girls and 21 boys acted as controls. A me

This thesis examines determinants of adolescent fertility with a particular focus on the possible association between adolescent fertility and idea diffusion. A sample of DHS data consisting of 6591 Nigerian female adolescents in the age of 15-19 in 2008 is used for analysis.

A auteur analysis of Stanley Kubrick with a intermedial focus. The paper explores the directors evolution from still photography to movies, and tries to find similarities between the two on both a aestetich level as well as in the way they are made. The purpose is to find out if Kubricks eye for detail and his perfectionism came during his work in films or if it's been with him all along. The

This Master’s thesis is set to study why art historical museums exhibit their permanent collections in a different way than what is generally more common in natural history and cultural history museums. Whereas art history museums tend to keep their rooms free from voices, natural and cultural history museums tend to (and have for a long while) build up more scenes. I also study how these ways of

The practice of forcing a person to perform work without his or her consent and the denial of freedom to leave work has been part of human history for centuries. Despite great effort by the international community to combat forced labour, this scourge is still a prevalent practice in both developed and developing countries, with old as well as new forms of coercion being carried out every day.

En rastrerare med stöd för analytisk rörelseoskärpa integreras med shadow mapping. Shadow maps med analytisk synlighetsinformation används för detta, vilket leder till situationer där både projiceringarna till shadow map:en och djupjämförelserna kan vara tidsberoende. Djupjämförelserna utförs analytiskt över tiden för mottagare som är statiska i förhållande till kameran. För dynamiska mottagare anA rendering framework supporting analytical visibility is extended with shadow mapping. Shadow maps containing analytical visibility data are used, leading to cases where both the projections to the shadow map and the depth tests can be time-dependent. For receivers that are static with respect to the camera, the depth tests are solved analytically over time. For dynamic receivers, point sampling

Idag är det mycket vanligt att en person registrerar ett domännamn som är identiskt eller förväxlingsbart med ett kännetecken som är någon annans skyddade egendom. Från rättighetsinnehavarens synvinkel kan detta leda till förlust av både företagets goodwill och att kännetecknet urvattnas. Varje fysisk och juridisk person kan i dagsläget registrera ett domännamn under den svenska toppdomänen .se. RToday it is very common that a person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the right holders point of view, this can result in a loss of company’s goodwill and there is a substantial risk that the hallmark becomes powerless. Today every physical and legal person can register a hallmark, even the hallmarks that are

Bakgrund Företaget PipeChain utvecklar och distribuerar en mjukvarulösning, med samma namn som företaget, för styrning av ett företags flödeskedja. Den lagerstyrningslogik som används i PipeChain bygger på ett tidskoncept, där lagernivåer mäts i täcktider istället för kvantiteter. Detta innebär bl.a. att man använder begreppet säkerhetstid, vilket är den tidsperiods efterfrågan som lagret minst må

The impact of innovation and human capital on economic performance has drawn more and more attention. This is greatly due to the strong trend of globalization and technology development, which characterize the economy as technology or innovation oriented developing pattern. Human capital and innovation are considered as the endogenous factors for supporting the long run economic growth in the new
