This master’s thesis, through the use of linguistic landscape analysis, examines three neighbourhoods in the city of Malmö, Sweden (Västra Hamnen, Möllevången and Rosengård), in order to investigate how multilingualism, specifically as a consequence of globalization, is negotiated within public space. Physical text in public space works both to reflect and reinforce wider social processes and prov

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the problems of hybrid mismatch arrangements within the EU and how single taxation, which requires income to be taxed once, not more or less, can be secured under EU law. After the amendments of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive (PSD), where an anti-hybrid rule was enacted, the legal environment for companies within the European Union changed. Parent compani

Kriminalvårdares vardagliga arbete hamnar lätt i skymundan då medier ofta väljer att uppmärksamma dramatiska händelser eller skandaler, såsom rymningar. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera den sociala och emotionella kontroll som råder mellan kriminalvårdare. Då kriminalvården är en arbetsplats fylld av regler krävs det även en viss reglering mellan kollegor. Vi har med hjälp av sju kvalitati

I pågående flyktingkris har hjälporganisationer haft svårigheter att samla in pengar till olika projekt. Att utforma annonser som motiverar till hjälpbeteenden är därför av stor vikt. Tidigare forskning visar att hjälporganisationer som presenterar annonser med en personlig berättelse om ett identifierat offer genererar flest donationer. Studier visar även på att tillföra statistisk information tiDuring the current refugee crisis charities have been having difficulties raising money for different projects. The ability to make charity appeals that motivate helping is therefore of utmost importance. Prior research indicates that the most beneficial charity appeals present a personal story of an identified victim. Studies have shown that statistical information in combination with a personal

The demand for security services has increased since the ending of the Cold War. Individuals and companies are dissatisfied with the police and their work methods, which has resulted in more and more people choosing other options. The privatization of the society has opened up opportunities for the citizens to have their security needs met by other operators. The purpose of this study is to highli

Mental illness is a growing social problem that has to be understood in order to counteract it. People with mental illness often need some kind of treatment to deal with their problems and finding this treatment is an important part of the rehabilitation process. This process is not always easy and sometime it leads to the person not getting help at all. In this analysis we discuss different ways

Denna uppsats är baserad på en översättning av två medicinska texter om anestesi respektive antibiotika som publicerades 2014 och 2015 på den brittiska webbsidan NHS Choices. I uppsatsen analyseras först källtexten enligt Hellspongs och Ledins analysmodell (1997), med fokus på hur stor roll klarspråksarbetet har för texten. I övervägningar för översättningen görs det klart att texten har översatts

Coronary heart diseases is one of the biggest health problems in the world today. By segmenting the coronary arteries in medical images and examining them, important information about abnormal narrowing and plaque, which are main causes to these diseases, can be found. Manual segmentation of the coronary arteries are time consuming and dependent on the observer, which makes the need of automatic s

Precis som en viss färg kan beskrivas som en specifik blandning av grundfärgerna, så kan också en elektron också beskrivas som en slags blandning. Den här blandningen kan påverkas av ljus så att "mängden" av de olika komponenterna förändras. Det här är intressant att undersöka, för om vi vet vilka förutsättningar som gör att elektronen hamnar i en viss blandning, så kan man återskapa de This project aims to study the process of electron excitation by a light pulse, a process at the core of many important contemporary and possible future devices. Data from an experiment where the electron dynamics is probed with attosecond laser pulses are analyzed in order to gain insight on the rapid population oscillations within the excited atomic system and simulations are constructed with th

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuropsychiatric condition containing a large spectrum of developmental disorders. The diagnosed condition is increasing among people today. With this in mind, there is also a growing need for competence and experience with services and organizations providing care for this target group. The aim of this study was therefore to examine what competence and experien

Hänsyn till biologisk mångfald viktigt vid skogsbränsleuttag Situationen för den biologiska mångfalden i skogen är allvarlig och att plocka ut skogsbränsle kan bidra till ytterligare försämringar. Hänsyn till biologisk mångfald vid skogsbränsleuttag är därför mycket viktig och det går faktiskt att anpassa skogsbränsleuttaget så att den negativa påverkan blir så liten som möjligt. Skogsbränsle ärThis study aims to investigate how the biodiversity in forests in southern Sweden is affected by extraction of forest fuel and to identify what can be done to preserve the biodiversity while extracting forest fuel. The study is performed on behalf of the energy company Kraftringen, which buys large amounts of forest fuel every year. Firstly, a literature study on how biodiversity in forests is af

Syftet med studien är att se om nyproducerade skolor överstiger budgeten. Det har undersökts om det finns något mönster som ökar förståelsen till diskrepans mellan kalkylerad slutkostnad och det verkliga utfallet. Detta kan skapa möjlighet till erfarenhetsåterföring vad gäller nyproducerade skolor och på så sätt kan eventuell fördyrning minimeras i framtiden. Inledningsvis presenteras den valda foThe purpose with this study is to see if new production schools exceed the budget. It will be reviewed whether there is a pattern that can increase the understanding of the discrepancy between calculated final cost and the actual outcome. This could create an opportunity for knowledge management regarding new production schools and thereby minimize possible inflation in future projects. Initially,

Psykisk ohälsa ökar bland barn och ungdomar i alla grupper. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur barns och ungdomars begåvning och grad av internaliserade psykiska symtom utvecklas över tre år samt huruvida begåvning påverkar grad av internaliserade psykiska symtom. Vidare studerades den eventuella inverkan som åldersgrupp respektive kön har på dessa faktorer. Studien baseras på data insaPsychological distress is increasing among children in all groups. The aim of this study was to investigate the development of intelligence and internalized psychological symptoms over three years and whether these variables influence each other. The study further examined the impact of age group and gender on these factors. Schoolchildren aged 9 – 17 years (N = 50) were tested on two occasions us

The aims of this study were to (a) use two automated methods to measure immigration sentiment expressed on Twitter, (b) examine how sentiment changed during the period August 2015 - December 2015, and (c) use 1st person plural pronouns and 1st person singular pronouns as indicators of social and individualistic identity and examine how they moderated sentiment change. All Swedish tweets posted bet

In this thesis, we provide a synthesizable model for supporting design space exploration of application-specific instruction-set processors. The model is written in a high-level of abstraction hardware description language Bluespec System Verilog and is parametrized to support different configurations for use in the design space exploration. To test the model, different applications from the media

In order to secure a sustainable development it is important to switch our resource and energy production from finite sources to bio-based, renewable sources. Biomass is, although not the definitive solution to a sustainable society, a good stepping stone towards it. A lot of agricultural land in Sweden is unused and could be used for cultivation of energy forest. Salix is an energy wood that has

This paper investigates the use and function of metaphors in the Cuban journalistic discourse today through a comparative study between, on one hand, the official Cuban press and, on the other, the unofficial. With a theoretical framework based on cognitive linguistics’ principles of conceptual metaphors, influenced by critical metaphor analysis, the study aims to understand how metaphors are used
