It is a hotly debated issue whether second language (L2) learners can achieve target-like online syntactic processing of relations not instantiated in their first language (L1). The Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH) predicts that L2 learners will not process configurations with structural distance in a target-like online fashion (Clahsen & Felser, 2006 a,b,c), whereas some studies find that t

There is not much that can compete with pre- paring and enjoying a meal, cooked to perfec- tion, in the company of friends. No matter how skilled you are at cooking or baking, it is impossible to achieve the same quality of bread and pizza as in a restaurant since a regular household oven will not genera- te the temperature or taste needed. To solve this I set out to design a way for homeowner

In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an

Hur människor går är väldigt individuellt och ens personliga gångstil ändras genom hela livet. Men det skulle kunna vara så att personer av samma kön med samma längd, vikt och ålder skulle ha ett gångmönster med stora likheter vad gäller fötternas vinkel och stegens längd. I detta projekt undersöktes det geometriska gångmönstret experimentellt på 150 män mellan 170 och 190 cm. Var och en av försök

Around the world, the treatment of food waste is a major administrative and environmental problem throughout the food supply chain. Beijing, as any other mega city, is facing vast issues of sustainable food waste treatment in addition to efforts for food waste reduction. Presently the majority of Beijing's food waste is treated together with the mixed residual waste in landfills (53%) and inci

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and has therefore been widely researched the last decades. Breast cancer is one of the least aggressive cancer types, and this together with extensive research has given one of the highest survival rate of any cancer types. However, there is still a long way to go in order to decrease the number of deaths even further. New, more effecti

Hur får vi ungdomar att handla hållbart? Vårt samhälle står inför stora utmaningar för att bli mer hållbart. Ett viktigt område att arbeta med är hur vi konsumerar varor och resurser. Vi behöver konsumera mer hållbart, genom att bland annat köpa bättre produkter och använda dem längre. En viktig grupp konsumenter är ungdomar då de kommer att avgöra hur framtidens konsumtion ser ut. För att främja The modern society is facing various challenges in order to tackle the constantly growing threats of climate change and global warming. The areas in which great readjustments are necessary are many, and even though some appear more critical than others, a holistic approach to this global issue is important. One of these areas consists of our consumption of resources and materials. Addressing this

The present thesis deals with two different provisions in the VAT Directive, the VAT grouping, provided in Article 11 of the VAT Directive, and the cost-sharing exemption, provided in Article 132(1)(f) of the VAT Directive. Both provisions are utilised by businesses in order to alleviate the undesirable consequences of the irrecoverable input VAT. The former establishes the VAT group whose intra-g

This thesis closely examines Reborn-Art Festival, a new arts and culture festival inaugurated during the summer of 2017 in one of the regions hardest hit by the triple disaster that devastated the northeastern coastline of Japan in 2011. In the face of an unspeakable tragedy like the Great East Japan Earthquake art may not seem like a central concern, but this thesis focuses on that subject specif

Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. I lagen ges enskilda, genom införandet av en dröjsmålstalan, för första gången i svensk förvaltningsrätt en generell rätt att föra talan mot förvaltningsmyndigheters passivitet. Om unionsrätten inte anger annat kommer den nya dröjsmålstalan, enligt principen om medlemsstaternas processuella autonomi, att tillämpas även vid förvalOn the first of July 2018, the new Swedish Administrative Procedure Act came into force. The Act introduces a new remedy against the inaction of administrative authorities (an action for failure to act, in Swedish “dröjsmålstalan”). Through the introduction of the new remedy, individuals are given a general right to appeal against the administrative authorities' inaction for the first time in

Enligt svensk rätt omfattas även poliser i tjänst av nödvärnsrätten (24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken), vilket gör att den kan åberopas i de fall där ett polis- ingripande slutat i skottlossning. Vid försvarlighetsbedömningen ska poliser och enskilda utövare av nödvärn granskas enligt samma principer, eftersom polisen rent straffrättsligt ska betraktas som privatperson. Det rättsliga utgångsläget är dock According to Swedish law, police officers and citizens alike have the right to self–defence (Swedish penal code, sec. 24 para. 1). This allows police officers to invoke the justification rule after shooting an attacker during an arrest. When judged, general principles of criminal law are applicable to police officers, and they are supposed to be judged as individuals. This dogmatic essay examines

This essay focuses on psychoanalytic theory and its relevance for political studies. It especially draws attention to the conceptual toolkit developed by Jacques Lacan and the way that it serves as the starting point for Slavoj Zizek´s approach to the theory of ideology. One important point of this approach is that the power of an ideology is not primarily related to the ideas or worldview it expr

During later years coaching has gained popularity. Coaching offers help to learn rather than to teach and enables optimal performance. The method that builds consciousness, strengthens choices and leads to change in the wanted direction, can deduce to some of history's most successful educationalists. A coaching area steadily increasing is business- and executive coaching. The overall purpose
