Interjections are a group of some of the more overlooked words in the field of linguistics. Many people see them as meaningless noise or non-words without purpose. It follows that many people consider them to be completely instinctive utterances which we can use freely. The flaw in this argument becomes clear when one looks at a language other than one's native language, as the interjections o
Abstract: The creation of new opportunities and ventures due to international entrepreneurs is not something new. Theory suggests that international entrepreneurs in their aim to grow and expand their ventures leave their national boundary looking for new business opportunities. International entrepreneurs face different social, political and cultural barriers. Problem discussion: In this thesis I

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Inre strukturer i zirkoner från Hamrånge : en studie med katodluminescens och BSE. Zirkon är ett mineral med stor motståndskraft som överlever de flesta påfrestningar vår berggrund kan utsättas för. Det finns zirkoner som är äldre än den äldsta kända berggrunden på jorden. Zirkoner kan förekomma i både magmatiska, sedimentära och metamorfa bergarter. Zirkon är e
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Klimatväxlingarna under sista istiden har alltid varit en debattfråga. Denna istids kallaste period inträffade för cirka 20.000 år sedan och benämns "istidsmaximum". Då var havsytan hundratjugo meter lägre än idag och det mesta vattnet var bundet i inlandsisarna. Klimatväxlingar försöker dagens kvartärgeologer att fastställa med en så bra tidsutlösning
The EU is characterised by a decentralised model of implementation, leaving significant space for the member states in the process. This paper seeks to advance a Sociological Institutionalism (SI), an under-represented approach on transposition studies. The frame of analysis deals with institutionalization, norms, logics of appropriateness and the concept of change; which in turn is applied on a c
The thesis Den ?fria? rörligheten aims to give deeper knowledge to the notion of social sustainable mobility. My previous knowledge within the subject is focused around mobility being biased and therefore gaining particular groups of actors within society and leaving others worse off. Therefore I chose to do a critical analysis of social sustainable mobility and more precisely show which problems
An employee that informs on illegal or unethical behavior in the workplace is what has been called a whistleblower. Employees that have become whistleblowers have often faced tragic consequences, like threats from the organization, unemployment, bankruptcy and divorce. The purpose of this paper is, on the basis of different ethical perspectives to describe the justification of the whistleblowing p
In the transition towards a low-carbon society, changes of attitudes and social norms are needed to support new ways of implementing technical solutions and new behaviors and lifestyles. Mobility Management (MM) campaigns have been shown to contribute to changing of mind sets, but to date these campaigns have not been recognized as important parts of a strategic transport policy plan on an overall
Whereas the language development of children with sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI) has repeatedly been shown to differ from that of peers with normal hearing (NH), few studies have used an experimental approach to investigate the consequences on everyday communicative interaction. This mini review gives an overview of a range of studies on children with SNHI and NH exploring intra- and inte
Although media-fueled food scares are often described as linked to consumers’ food anxieties, previous studies of food consumption have failed to explore fully how foodscare reports add to consumers’ anxieties. Using a relational theory of risk and a narrative approach, this article highlights how food-scare reports, through various risk accounts, create anxiety-inducing stories where consumers ar
