This thesis aims to examine the lexical and typological change found in the Western European language families of Germanic, Romance and Celtic over the last two millennia. The method used was to create one lexical and one typological database and the data was analysed according to etic grids. Tree models were generated from the results of the databases and the groups found in the tree models were
There is no answer to the question “Are sustainability challenges solvable within capitalism?” which is not already taking sides in a debate about values, perceptions and motivations. There are several different approaches to sustainability, based on assumed feasibilities and expected agents of change. By disclosing one’s own stand in the debate while being aware and acknowledging other possible a
Den digitala tekniken innebär att det inte längre går att göra någon klar åtskillnad mellan audiovisuella tjänster och telekommunikation. Eftersom materialet endast består av binära tal som skickas över samma typer av ledningar, simultant eller på kundens begäran ställs flera av syftena med den traditionella televisionslagstiftningen på huvud. Televisionslagstiftningen, som den kommer till uttryck
I mål B554-15 från Borås tingsrätt och mål B3118-16 från Hovrätten för Västra Sverige var en i domstolen könad man åtalad för att ha våldtagit en i domstolen könad kvinna. Den tilltalade påstods ha genomfört sexuella handlingar genom att otillbörligt ha utnyttjat att målsäganden befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation. Den tilltalade fälldes för våldtäkt i tingsrätten. I hovrätten friades han In case B554-15 from Borås District Court and case B3118-16 from Court of Appeal for Western Sweden, a gendered man was impeached for having raped a gendered woman. The accused was charged with having performed sexual acts on the complainant, improperly exploiting the fact that she was in a particularly vulnerable situation. The accused was convicted by Borås tingsrätt for having raped the complai
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning cyberkrigsföring regleras av den internationella humanitära rätten. Särskild vikt läggs vid hur begreppet ”attack” i Tilläggsprotokoll I till Genèvekonventionerna ska tolkas i förhållande till cyberoperationer (en. cyber operations) som sker inom ramen för internationella väpnade konflikter, och tillämpligheten av de materiella reglerThe aim of this paper is to examine how cyber operations that are undertaken in the context of international armed conflicts are regulated in international humanitarian law. It will focus on the qualification of cyber operations as ‘attacks’ and the applicability of the substantive rules that restrict the conduct of hostilities under the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. In particul
The aim of this paper was to analyse how stakeholders such as municipalities and tourism operators at small-scale destinations strategically work to handle issues regarding carrying capacity in order to protect the social sustainability. The paper examines the world heritage site Cinque Terre in Italy, which has experienced a major change in tourist flows during the last decade. The comprising fiv
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is an important process in the manufacturing of hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons from mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas). The reduced iron catalyst reacts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen to form bulk Fe5C2 Hagg carbide (chi-HC) during FT synthesis. Arguably, chi-HC is the predominant catalyst phase present in the working iron catalyst. Deacti
Purpose – This paper aims to develop a novel micro-ablation system to realise micrometric and well-defined hydrogel structures. To engineer a tissue it is necessary to evaluate several aspects, such as cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, its micro-architecture and mechanical stimuli that act on it. For this reason, it is important to fabricate a substrate which presents a microtopology simi
Recent research suggests that multilingual students tend to use their complete language repertoires, particularly their L1, when writing in a non-native language (e.g. Cenoz & Gorter 2011; Wang 2003). While there is some international research on the L2 and L3 writing process among bilinguals, the L2/L3writing process of bilingual and multilingual individuals in the Swedish context remains une
The discovery that paracetamol is metabolized to the potent TRPV1 activator N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z-eicosatetraenamide (AM404) and that this metabolite contributes to paracetamol's antinociceptive effect in rodents via activation of TRPV1 in the central nervous system (CNS) has provided a potential strategy for developing novel analgesics. Here we validated this strategy by examining
Prenatal diagnosis in the third pregnancy of a mother who already had one healthy son and one son with Fanconi anaemia (FA), revealed that her fetus was also affected with FA. At 22 weeks a maternal complaint about excessive fetal kicking starting at 15 weeks, focused our attention on the behaviour of the fetus, which was observed by means of real-time ultrasound for 30 min. The differentiation of
A high excess mortality is well described after hip fracture. Deaths are in part related to comorbidity and in part due directly or indirectly to the hip fracture event itself (causally related deaths). The aim of this study was to examine the quantum and pattern of mortality following hip fracture. We studied 160,000 hip fractures in men and women aged 50 years or more, in 28.8 million person-yea
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies were performed on aqueous solutions of poly(acrylic acid) hydrophobically modified with two very different levels of naphthalene (Np). It is demonstrated that unique information on association phenomena involving hydrophobe-modifed polymers can be obtained from an extended fluorescence study by using data for a less-modified polymer as a referenc
The purpose of this essay was to examine how immigrants of the first generation experience the integration in to the swedish society from the six factors: identity, culture, language, codes, individualism/holism and network. Our questions were: What does integration mean to the immigrant? Does the immigrant feel integrated and what is it that contributes to the fact that she feels or not feels int
En hermeneutisk undersökning av hur manlighet skildras i kvinnliga trubadurers minnelyrik från högmedeltida Occitanien. Uppsatsen diskuterar lyrikens kontext och trobairitzernas korpus, för att sedan analysera de 26 dikter som med störst sannolikhet verkligen är skrivna av trobairitzerna. Analysen fokuserar på vilka egenskaper männen i lyriken tillskrivs, hur männen figurerar i förhållande till ly
The protein hemoglobin (Hb) is vital for us humans to ensure enough oxygen replacement in the body. Hb-resembling proteins also exist in plants, these are called phytoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are very interesting since they can play a considerable role in the development of blood substitutes and iron supplements for human use. A few years ago, genes that code for Pgb in sugar beet were found and ident
