Popular Abstract in Swedish "Dom säjer de - do - dopey Swedes - but I tell you that - dom e inte så dopia" Avhandlingen beskriver språket som talas av den sista generationen svenska utvandrare till Nordamerika. Inflytandet från engelskan gör sig gällande på olika sätt, t.ex. som codeswitching, där ord eller fraser från engelskan används oförändrade ("dopey Swedes", "but I tell you that"), eller This thesis concerns two languages in contact: English and Swedish. It is based on interviews with Swedes who came to North America with the last major wave of emigration. The bilingual phenomena that appear in their speech, ranging from codeswitching to morphological, structural and semantic transfer, are considered as forming a continuum of language alternation. The study explores the opposing

BAY 81-8973, a full-length, unmodified, recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) in development for treatment of haemophilia A, has the same primary amino acid sequence as Bayer's sucrose-formulated recombinant FVIII but is produced with more advanced manufacturing technologies.

PURPOSE From 1995 to 2003, 603 adult patients from Sweden and Norway with metastatic testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) were included prospectively in a population-based protocol with strict guidelines for staging, treatment, and follow-up. Patients with extragonadal primary tumor or previous treatment for contralateral testicular tumor were excluded. The basic strategy was to indi

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether perturbations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) were associated with the presence of chronic widespread pain (CWP) in men. METHODS: The European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) is an 8-center population-based study of men aged 40-79 years recruited from population registers. A questionnaire asked about the presence and duration of

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a markedly increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors fail to account for this increased risk. We used microarray to probe the platelet transcriptome in individuals with SLE and healthy controls, and the gene and protein expression of a subset of differentially expressed genes was further inves

With growing awareness about their environmental impact, music festivals have increased their efforts to become greener since the 2000s. In line with this trend, the German Fuchsbau Festival developed a transport plan, taking into account that up to 80.0% of a festival’s emissions are produced through audience travel. Aiming at triggering a greener travel behaviour among its visitors, four measure

With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative

This thesis is a contribution to the analysis of the news media’s influence on Facebook users, guided by the use of Fairclough's critical discourse analysis (CDA). The aim of this thesis is to analyze how two news media articles can influence Facebook users perceptions on refugees and refugee law. This analysis tries to gain further knowledge on the dominance effect the media has on users of s

Ett av mina starkaste minnen kring arkitektur är minnet ä av en pojke som cyklar på en trehjuling Han trampar snabbt på tramporna och far fram genom korridorerna inne på hotellet där han bor. Dörrarna in till hotellrummen på vardera sidan om honom svischar snabbt förbi. Trehjulingens däck låter dämpat mot den mjuka mattan på golvet när pojken cyklar om hörn efter hörn innan han plötsligt stannar f

Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene

Bakgrund: Stroke omfattar cerebrovaskulära tillstånd som orsakar akuta neurologiska symtom till följd av syrebrist i drabbade hjärnområden, vilket leder till celldöd. I Sverige drabbas årligen 25 000– 30 000 personer av stroke, med en medelålder på 75 år vid insjuknande. Stroke resulterar ofta i motoriska, sensoriska och kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar som påverkar vardagslivet. Många överlevare

This longitudinal study explored the factors influencing the relationship between relatedness and mental well-being in 16–18-year-old Swedish high school students (N=249; m=87, f=159, N/A=3) attending upper secondary school. Measurements were the DASS-21 (Henry & Crawford, 2005), BPNSFS (Chen et al., 2015), SFS-SF (Raes et al., 2011), and the HSC-21 (Weyn et al., 2022), with relevant scores be

Members of the general public assess risks of climate change differently than experts. Increasing the perceived risk through communication of climate change has been debated as a viable strategy to promote more sustainable behavior. This thesis exposes 412 subjects to four different messages regarding varying the likelihood and severity of averse consequences of global warming. Analysis of a two

As one of the primary countries of destination for migrant domestic workers in Asia, Singapore is a developed country with one of the highest standards of living in the region. Yet, the city-state has been on the receiving end of extensive criticism concerning the rights and protections of migrant domestic workers. Civil society organizations have been one of the loudest critics, and in recent pub

One of the central themes in recent sustainable Development debates is the idea that alternative energy technological solutions can also alleviate poverty in parts of the global South. This idea is earmarked in this study as the alternative energy-poverty discourse. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis and Post-development theory; the study questions the extent to which the premise of this disco

The aim of this study is to hermeneutically understand and critically assess manifestations and impacts of certain aspects of the phenomenon of patriarchal gender norms. Seeing that gender norms are the sustaining component of the greater and oppressing gender system of patriarchy, this study is relevant in relation to the broader analysis and understanding of patriarchy and its influences.

Den här uppsatsen ämnade undersöka sambandet mellan en individs grad av autenticitet och intresse för Företag 1, 2 och 3. Autenticitet är en del av en människas personliga identitet och vi utgick från en sammanslagning av Kernis och Goldmans (2006) och Woods et al. (2008) definitioner av autenticitet: Ju mer medveten en individ är om underliggande känslor, tankar och tillstånd som vederbörande harThe intention with this essay was to investigate the relationship between an individual’s authenticity and workplace interest for Enterprise 1, 2 and 3. Authenticity is a part of a person's personal identity, and this essay was based on a merger of Kernis and Goldmans (2006) and Woods et al. definitions of authenticity: The more aware an individual is of the underlying feelings, thoughts and s

Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used to detect prostate cancer. The low positive predictive value of elevated PSA results in large numbers of unnecessary prostate biopsies. We set out to determine whether a multivariable model including four kallikrein forms ( total, free, and intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 (hK2)) could predict prostate biopsy outcome in previously unscre
