This thesis studies the processing of null objects in the L2 English of two groups with a similar L1 background, Brazilian Portuguese and European Spanish native speakers. Previous research (Alamillo, 2009; Sainzmaza-Lecanda & Schwenter, 2017) reported similarities and contrasts in the two languages regarding null object expression. However, research on null objects lacks a fuller perspective

Clean sources of energy have increasingly gained importance as a means to mitigate climate change. This study analysed the relationship between CO2 emissions, GDP, GDP2, fossil fuel consumption, hydroelectricity consumption, new renewables (solar, wind, biomass) consumption, and biofuels consumption (all variables are per capita) in the context of the environmental Kuznets curve theory in Brazil f

Analysis of peripheral blood smears is commonly used to aid physicians in diagnosing diseases, checking for infections and evaluating the function of organs. One object of interest in such analysis is the presence of red blood cell aggregates called rouleaux. CellaVision's product currently automates the traditionally resource-intensive process of blood smear analysis, which leads to improved

Lunds sjukhusområde är ett stort och avskärmat område mitt i staden. Utemiljön domineras av bilar, hårdlagda ytor och saknar en mångfald av grönska, mötes- och sittplatser. Enligt enkätundersökningar gjorda inför det här projektet upplevs området som ogästvänligt och svårorienterat. Hur kommer det sig att ett område vars huvudsyfte är att läka, lägger så lite omsorg på utemiljön? I projektet före

Live attendance at sports events is important for individual teams as well as for the broader community of a sport. The amount of uncertainty about the outcome of a game is considered a crucial determinant of game attendance. This study examines how fans’ expectation about game outcome affects game attendance in Swedish Allsvenskan. The empirical analysis is guided by a behavioural model of th

Vi ser i Bibeln hur människan, naturen och Gud var tätt förbundna. I den kontext som Bibeln befinner sig i är relationen mellan människan och naturen en självklar del av vardagen. Människan levde i symbios med naturen och var helt beroende av denna för sin överlevnad. Naturen var den som gav människan mat men också den som hade makten att förgöra henne. I och med industrialiseringen och kapitalismIn this paper the relationship between nature and humanity will be examined by looking into the theological language of the ecotheological tradition and the tradition of pilgrimage in the Church of Sweden. In a time when humanity has long since taken a place above nature and often sees herself as a ruler and in full control of nature, a new problem becomes visible; climate change. The way humans h

The aim of the thesis is to investigate and implement an algorithm that can automate the porting of the layout from one technology node to another technology node. The layout optimization of any design block can be implemented for better performance. The primary task of the project is to develop a tool that can optimize and port the complete layout design that reduces the time and effort of manual

This study seeks to explore how platform labor is rendered invisible and to emphasize the making of class in relation to precarious platform labor in a neoliberal context. Engaging the theoretical frameworks posed by Silvia Federici, Niels van Doorn and Beverley Skeggs, we perform a thematic analysis of three conducted interviews with Wolt couriers, as well as on a debate written by the director o

Nyckelaktörer i samhället tror att invånare är dåligt förberedda inför avbrott i el, värme, vatten och telekom, något som en enkätstudie riktad mot Helsingborgs invånare bekräftar. Framför allt sårbara är invånare för avbrott i el och vattentillförsel, vilket majoriteten vill ska prioriteras vid avbrott som inträffar samtidigt. Samhällsaktörers bedömning av hur väl invånare kan hantera avbrotten sCritical infrastructures and the services they provide society with, also called critical flows, are vital for the functioning of modern society. There is a need to investigate acceptable duration of disruptions in different critical flows, how the criticality due to disruption changes over time and how citizens want flows to be prioritized. Thus, this study examines individuals’ temporal levels o

In this study five upper-secondary school teachers have been interviewed on their methods for teaching on and integrating aspects of sex education in their respective subjects. The aim has been to examine how participants relate to norm-critical aspects that are part of the general syllabus and guidelines on teaching sex education as well as how their methods relate to non-normative and anti-oppre

This Master Thesis, executed in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, focused on designing a new and improved secondary entrance for overhead panel industrial gates, which is part of the existing product line. The secondary entrance developed in this project is called a Passdoor, which is placed in a fixed section next to the gate and is used to separate pedestrian traffic through the in

Hur används koldioxidbudgetar för att hushålla med kommunernas kvarstående utsläpp? Det finns endast en begränsad mängd koldioxid kvar att släppa ut om världen ska ha en trolig chans att hålla sig inom Parisavtalets målsättning om en global temperaturökning på 1,5 – 2 °C. Denna mängd finns beräknad av IPCC och benämns i deras rapporter som ”den kvarstående koldioxidbudgeten”. På senare år har detIn recent years it has become increasingly common for Swedish municipalities to calculate local carbon budgets (LCB) that reflects their fair share of the remaining common global carbon budget. The actions can be viewed as an attempt to make a fair contribution in compliance with the Paris Agreement. However, little is known about how Swedish municipalities uses their LCB:s in their daily work and

This research examined the experiences of 12 low-risk individuals to identify factors influential to their behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. The method used a semi-structured format of interviews conducted over June 2021. The study found that participants held a subscription like mentality towards adopted protective behaviours which focused on the protection of loved ones. Behavi

Natural hazards cannot be avoided, but their damage to what human beings value, such as life, health, and property, can be limited. Climate change will increase extreme weather events and overall disaster risk, which will particularly affect Least Developed Countries. Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into development planning, the systematic integration of information stemming from risk

This project looks into the question of how a portable medical product that is used by the patient at home to communicate bioelectrical signals to their healthcare system, that achieves the medical requirement and the stakeholders’ needs for comprehension, function and usability can be designed. By using co-creation, user centered design- and emotional design tools, a design process which resulte

High production titers are paramount in lactic fermentation processes aimed towards poly lactic acid (PLA) manufacturing. Optimization of the fermentation stage is therefore essential for the viability of the process. L-lactic acid producing Pediococcus acidilactici strain TY112 was grown in shake flasks and 2L bioreactors with glucose and mannose as carbon sources under different aeration conditi

Social interaction is a basic human need that contributes to society by allowing individuals to compare and exchange opinions and perspectives, bridging the gap between different groups. The primary setting for this exchange is what we define as public space. In our daily lives, we find ourselves constantly interacting with the environment that surrounds us, influencing and being influenced by it.

A LASTING ANTI-TUMOR RESPONSE Cancer and its treatment have been a hot topic in research for quite a while. Despite, it being well researched, researchers still have not come up with one magic bullet. Will they ever though, is the question? Or should we be satisfied with several working treatments for individual cancers and patients? If we were only this far, since there are still some cancer typ
