In many contexts of multilingualism, language learners can initiate communication in the target language (TL), or a contact language (such as English). Patterns of use emerging from these choices affect TL development. They also vary between individuals. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So far, WTC has not been studied in multilingual

White adipose tissue (WAT) plays an important role in the integration of whole-body metabolism by storing fat and mobilizing triacylglycerol when needed. The released free fatty acids can then be oxidized by other tissues to provide ATP. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of metabolic pathways, and can be targeted by a new generation of direct, small-molecule activators. AMPK a

Rätten ska obligatoriskt verka för förlikning enligt 42 kap. 17 § Rätte-gångsbalken. Lagtexten saknar i stor del anvisningar för vad det innebär att en domare “verkar” för förlikning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra rättens skyldigheter och möjligheter i förlikningsverksamheten vid dispo-sitiva tvistemål. Det görs genom att besvara tre delfrågor.
