This qualitative study analyses exaggeration in natural conversation from a dialogic perspective using data from the London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2). We define exaggeration as an extreme degree on a scale, e.g., my bag weighs a ton. degree is central to our definition of exaggeration, which involves scaling a gradable property up, or down, to a level that comes across as counterfactual or inappropria
Håldäckselement i betong är ett vanligt förekommande byggelement i Nordeuropa. Det är materialeffektiva element som tillverkas i fabrik med förspänd armering i underkant och ihåliga kanaler centrerat i tvärsnittet. Deras utformning och låga egenvikt bidrar till att möjliggöra långa spännvidder och flexibla planlösningar. Metoden för statisk dimensionering och lastkapaciteter finns dokumenterat och
This paper investigates the inventive performance of immigrants and the effect of education-occupation match (defined as the higher the educational level, the higher the skill-level of occu-pation) across multiple sectors. The study is based on a database that links inventors to the gen-eral population in Sweden from 1985 to 2007. The results find that immigrants patent different-ly from natives a
BakgrundPalliativ vårdavdelning är en plats som ofta präglas av sorg, smärta och svåra beslut. För patienter och deras anhöriga kan det vara svårt att hitta utrymme för glädje och lättnad, och för vårdpersonalen innebär det dagliga mötet med döden en emotionell påfrestning. Sedan hösten 2023 har denpalliativa avdelningen i Lund fått oväntad men värdefull förstärkning: varannan vecka besöker två sj
Sensing is an integral part of 6G and beyond systems, providing exceptional environmental perception along with communication. Radio frequency (RF)–based sensing often relies on simplified geometric assumptions (e.g., point scatterers or planar surfaces) to model specular multipath and keep inference tractable. However, such representations are not physically informative and fail to accurately cap
Granskning av språkliga och innehållsliga val och strategier i primärt två översättningar av Axel Wallengrens "fakirtexter" till tyska respektive danska med särskilt fokus på Wallengrens s k alfabetsverser.
The transition to a circular economy has placed growing pressure on packaging systems to enable effective material recovery across increasingly complex waste and recycling infrastructures. Focus on aggregate recycling rates obscure the stage- specific inefficiencies that determine whether packaging material re- enters production, making it difficult to target packaging design efforts, infrastruc
Reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs) provide efficient and flexible access to on-chip logic, such as instruments for test and diagnostics, throughout a semiconductor’s lifetime. Test instruments are powerful, as they provide high controllability and observability. The availability of a high number of test instruments, as well as the standardized and easy access, makes RSNs a valuable target for an
Urban mobility is a key mechanism through which the autistic community asserts their right to the city , more broadly representing the neurodiversity movement’s struggle for spatial justice. While public transport plays a critical role in facilitating mobility for the autistic community, limited research has examined their perspectives on how physical and social environmental factors shape their e
This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
Stress is a growing problem in society and has been for many years. Different ages and different occupations experience different amounts of stress in their day-to-day life. This quantitative study focused on surveying how social work students perceived stress affects their lives on a day-to-day basis. Another focus was to determine whether there are connections between the students' perceived
This investigation analysis the depiction of jews, in swedish textbooks in primary schools, during the period 1900 to 1972, in order to determine if the depictions are antisemitic. The study uses a qualitative text analysis to analyse the source material and, based upon Helen Feins definition of antisemitism, the study determines if descriptions of jews are antisemitic. The study reveals that de
Kan sjukdomar sätta stopp för ängshökens återhämtning? Människan påverkar idag fler arter än någonsin, och allt fler arter har blivit beroende av aktiva insatser för att överleva. Särskilt utsatta är markhäckande fåglar i jordbrukslandskapet, som i dagens moderna samhälle brukas mer intensivt än någonsin. En av dessa arter är ängshöken, en medelstor rovfågel som under de senaste decennierna drabbIncreasing numbers of species face long-term population declines as a consequence of human activities, and these pressures are expected to intensify under a changing and warming climate. Ground-nesting birds in agricultural landscapes are particularly vulnerable, including the Montagu’s harrier (Circus pygargus), which has declined across Europe due to intensive modern agriculture combined with th
Ageing in the human brain is a major risk factor for most neurodegenerative diseases. Yet the cell-type-specific molecular changes that contribute to this risk remain poorly understood. This thesis investigates cell-type-specific changes across multiple levels of molecular regulation and their roles in physiological and pathophysiological brain ageing. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing of postmo
In computer graphics, there are numerous aspects that must be considered when rendering images of virtual scenes:What physical light-generating phenomena do we care about? How should object and material surfaces be described? And how should these be stored to ensure as fast and efficient image rendering as possible?As a part of this thesis, a method for rendering images of scenes lit by virtual at
