The present thesis investigated how listeners use prosody to rapidly predict upcoming lexical and syntactic structures. In the first three studies, it was shown that listeners take advantage of Swedish word-level tones to pre- activate upcoming word endings. Every Swedish word has a tone on the word stem – known as a ‘word accent’ – which is either low or high, and the tone is assigned to the stem
Contemporary debates on sustainability usually relies on standardised and normative categories, such as ‘social’ and ‘nature’, and on linear notions of time. This study explores a more complex perspective on the delicate borderlands between the ‘un-sustainable’ and the ‘sustainable’. A particular material and a particular place stand at the centre of attention: woollen Merino fibre on the South Am
Energy-intensive processing industries like the concrete industry form the base of the economy and account for a large part of global greenhouse gas emissions. Sectoral transformation to cleaner basic materials is therefore crucial, and institutional pressure to do so is increasing. However, socio-technical studies have not sufficiently addressed these sectors. This paper therefore sets out to ana
Novel materials in microfluidics can enable innovative applications, price reductions, higher efficiency, and increased availability. In this thesis, I examine polymer materials for acoustofluidic applications, and find several functioning, and promising, materials and designs. Microfluidics involves manipulating small volumes of fluids for novel applications, and acoustofluidics describes the ap
During the past decades, the Swedish welfare state has been transformed in profound ways. Many important changes are related to the labour market, particularly the organisation of the unemployed. The unemployment insurance, as well as the health insurance system has changed dramatically, resulting in implications for the organisation of work at the Swedish National Employment Agency, Arbetsförmedl
This study is an analysis of norm critical pedagogy has been used in a pedagogic activity outside the formal, institutionalized education. The aim was to analyze how the implementation of norm critical pedagogy can be done and what effects it may have on those who participate in the educational activities. For four months, I followed the project Uppdrag Ninjas who are working with democracy, equal
Skatterättens område är dynamiskt. Företag och privatpersoner har i olika omfattning möjlighet att planera sin verksamhet. Det finns ett kontinuerligt intresse av att finns nya vägar som resulterar i en förmånligare skattemässig situation. Dessa nya förfaranden med vad som kan te sig röra procentenheter kan i slutändan resultera i enorma ekonomiska vinster. Under 2003 tillkom nya regler om skattTax law is a dynamic field. Businesses and individuals are to a different extent able to plan their activities. There is a continuous interest to find new ways that result in more favorable tax situations. These new procedures with what may seem to concern percentile margins may ultimately result in huge economic gains. In 2003 a new legislation was introduced regarding tax exemption on business-
Vägen från bären på kaffeträdet, vars frön är det vi kallar kaffebönor, till en färdig kopp kaffe består av flera steg. Det viktigaste steget för den slutliga produkten är rostningen,och här uppstår oundvikligen en signifikant förlust av massa. Kan det vara så att denna förlust påverkas av råkaffets egenskaper?Coffee is one of the world’s largest trading goods and produced in a large number of countriesall over the world. The largest producers are from South America, Asia, Central America and Africa, and Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia are in order the largest producers,together producing more than the half of the world supply. During roasting of coffee the weight of the production batch decrea

Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others. The range of exper
The world is slowly moving towards a more environmentally friendly mindset and many companies, such as Tetra Pak® have followed this lead by producing more environmentally friendly products and developing better materials with less environmental impact. To accommodate these requirements, it is important that the package is recyclable. For a carton this is defined by the repulpability, i.e., the ab
Det är en varm och solig dag. Du ligger på rygg på en grönskande äng och ur ögonvrån ser du ett bi surra av och an tätt ovanför marken, på jakt efter nektar och pollen. Biet tar ett varv runt ängen medan du ligger kvar och funderar ett slag över hur ett sådant bi, som måste flyga hit och dit för att leta upp blommande växter, förmår att hitta hem igen. Dina tankar avbryts av ett surrande: biet närNeuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is stron
This study investigates the relationship between income levels and carbon dioxide emissions to examine evidence for or against the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and thereby the possibility of continued growth without ongoing carbon dioxide emissions. The paper uses data on carbon dioxide emissions derived from both territorial and consumption-based accounting methods as dependent variables. Th
Underrättelseverksamhet bedrivs till stor del i syfte att förebygga eller förhindra brott. En vital del av utredningsarbetet är att identifiera och avgränsa potentiella misstänkta. Arbetsmetoden kallas för förutsägande profilering. Metoden förutsätter bearbetning och insamling av uppgifter när misstanken ännu inte kan individualiseras. Sådana uppgifter kan innehålla så kallade känsliga personuppgiIntelligence service is largely conducted by crime prevention agencies. A vital part of the investigation is to identify and delimit potential suspects. The method is called predictive profiling. The method implies processing and collecting information when the suspicion cannot yet be individualized. Such data may contain so called sensitive data. The registration of sensitive data impli-cates a v
Traditionally rooted in a linear economy model, the European food industry is now rapidly shifting towards circular supply chain systems. Compared to the previous model, this approach offers significant environmental and socio-economic benefits, including greater resource efficiency, waste reduction, and increased market competitiveness. Despite a clear theoretical framework based on the principle
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur artikel 12 barnkonventionen om barnets rätt att komma till tals kommer till uttryck i svensk och norsk lagstiftning gällande vårdnadstvister. En grundläggande princip i svensk och norsk rätt är att den som har ett legitimt intresse i en tvistefråga också ska ha talerätt i densamma. Då barnets framtid kommer påverkas av utgången i dessa tvister är det av intresThe aim of this thesis is to examine how Article 12 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is reflected in Swedish and Norwegian legislation concerning custody, residence and contact disputes. A fundamental principle in both Swedish and Norwegian law is that a person with a legitimate interest in a legal dispute should also have a right to litigate in the matter. It is of particular inter
Skiljeförfarande har under de senaste decennierna växt fram till en mycket populär och uppskattad metod för tvistlösning, särskilt bland kommersiella parter. En större partsautonomi, effektivitet och slutlighet har betonats som fördelar jämfört med domstolsförfarande. Samtidigt finns frågor och svårigheter att reda ut. En av dessa aspekter lyftes i samband med att delar av lagen om skiljeförfarandArbitration has over the past few decades emerged as a very popular and appreciated method of dispute resolution, especially among commercial parties. Greater party autonomy, efficiency, and finality have been emphasized as advantages compared to court proceedings. At the same time, there are issues to address. One of these aspects was highlighted when parts of the Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA) we
Målsättningen att minska koldioxidutsläppen i världen har lett till en ökad efterfrågan på elbilar. Elbilar ses som en nyckelfaktor för EU:s omställning till en klimatneutral ekonomi. Det ökar efterfrågan på nödvändiga råvaror till elbilsbatterier som EU vill trygga tillgången på. För det ändamålet har kommissionen tagit fram en handlingsplan om batterier. Handlingsplanen om batterier identifierarThe goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the world has led to increased demand for electric cars. Electric cars are seen as a key factor for the EU's transition to a climate-neutral economy. This increases the demand for the necessary raw materials for electric car batteries, which the EU wants to secure access to. To this end, the Commission has drawn up an action plan on batteries. T
Termen konkurrens uppfattas ofta som mångtydig. Trots dess ansedda mångtydighet företar konkurrensrätten som rättsområde att skydda konkurrensen. Sällan förekommer diskussioner i den juridiska litteraturen gällande betydelsen av konkurrens. De definitioner som har angetts förefaller undermåliga i relation to ordets allmänna innebörd. Hur kan vi då ha sammanhållet rättsområde samt skydda konkurrensThe word competition is often regarded as being ambiguous. Despite the word’s ambiguity the field of competition law undertakes to protect competition. In the legal literature the definition of the meaning of the word is seldom discussed. When it is being defined, the definitions appear to be inadequate regarding the words meaning in everyday speech. How it is then possible to have a coherent area
Skånes konsumtion kan påverka en hållbar utveckling i världen Hur påverkar lokala politiska åtgärder implementationen av Agenda 2030? Finns det en risk för att åtgärder motverkar en hållbar utveckling? En växande konsumtion är en av världens stora hållbarhetsutmaningar. Överexploatering av naturresurser och föroreningar i luft och vatten är några av konsekvenserna. Konsumtion i Skåne påverkar omgThe pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot
