It can be claimed that the emergence of the future tense is closely related to cognitive and cultural artefacts from our earlier civilisations, such as burial practices and concepts of afterlife. In this paper, we present one such specific case concerning the concept of zero. The zero and nothingness have haunted earlier thinkers, philosophers and theologians alike, since the idea of ex nihil ‘out

This paper examines the role communication strategies play in the maintenance of communication in a classroom. The effect these strategies may have on the acquisition of a language is also discussed. There is often a lack of communication in a Swedish foreign language classroom which leads to the inability to communicate in a native-like way even after several years of learning the language. This

On the decision of the Swedish government, the Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA) has started a large-scale trial with Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) in urban areas. One of the four test sites is the city of Lund. At the Department of Technology and Society, Lund University, research about ISA has been carried out since 1986 and the first field study was carried out in 1993. The ongoi

The astrometric satellite Gaia was launched in December, 2013. It will observe nearly one billion stars in the Milky Way and beyond along with many extragalactic objects such as quasars and galaxies. The analysis of quasar data will provide the optical counterpart of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). Also, the analysis of data for stars in our Galaxy provide a revolution in our u

For the first time since 1969, Malaysian politics witnessed the formation of a significant (albeit rather unstable) dual coalition system, when the opposition front Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Alliance) successfully challenged the Barisan Nasional (National Front)’s traditional two-thirds dominance of parliament in the 2008 General Election. With the parliamentary margin between the two political coa

This article deals with the impact of certain retail strategies on urban life. More specifically it deals with two recent tendencies of the retail environment: (a) spatial homogenisation and clustering of retail into large areas or territories, and (b) the synchronisations of retail with different kinds of public activities and events. For the last decades, retail areas have tended to grow larger

During oxidative phosphorylation, the production of ATP is driven by the activity of several proton-pumping respiratory protein complexes. In plants, non-proton pumping type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases are also present in the respiratory chain to oxidize cytosolic and matrix NAD(P)H. So far, it has not been fully clear what roles these enzymes play in the cellular metabolism. In Arabidopsis thalian

The availability of standard protocols to obtain DNA sequences has allowed the inference of phylogenetic Hypotheses for many taxa, including moths. We here have inferred a phylogeny using maximum-Likelihood and Bayesian approaches for a species-rich group of moths (Erebidae, Arctiinae), with strong emphasis on Neotropical genera collected in different field campaigns in the Atlantic Forest of Braz

Uppfinnandet av den integrerade kretsen banade väg för dagens datorer, mobiltelefoner och all annan elektronik som är en självklar del av vår vardag. En integrerad krets består idag av hundramiljontals halvledarkomponenter som sitter ihop med varandra på ett så kallat chip. Komplexiteten och antalet komponenter på chipen fortsätter att öka vilket har förändrat utvecklingsprocessen. Ett chip som ti

Radar - Dina ögon i nacken när du cyklar Cyklister är en utsatt grupp av trafikanter för olyckor. För att öka säkerheten kan radarteknologi användas för övervakning av döda vinkeln samt ge mervärde till fordonet. Med en enkel notis så kommer man undvika risken med att inte veta vad som kommer bakifrån.The purpose of this thesis is to develop a blind spot detection system for increased safety and comfort for a biker. The solution is based on power-efficient small A111 radars, developed by Acconeer AB, which have a range up to seven meters while consuming only a few milliwatts. Sensor evaluation is performed for the intended use and from this, concepts are generated. These are tested to obtain t

Den digitala teknikens framsteg möjliggör för företag att ha mer flexibla modeller för förmedling av varor och tjänster till konsumenterna. I detta nya eko-system, vilket brukar refereras till som gig-ekonomin, organiseras arbete via digitala plattformar. Gig-arbete som förmedlas via digitala plattformar skapar ett förhållande mellan tre parter, där det finns en beställare, en plattform och en utfDigitalization enables companies to establish more flexible business models when offering services and merchandise to its consumers. In this new eco-system, work is organized via digital labour platforms. This phenomenon is typically referred to as the gig-economy. The platform connects a so-called ’gig-worker’ to a buyer of a service. This tri-party relationship blurs the otherwise traditional wo

Rusta sockerbetor för strid Sockerbetans främsta användning är för produktion av socker. De senaste 100 åren har man genom förädling ökat sockerhalten. Idag fortsätter optimeringen av sockerhalten, men förädlingen fokuserar även på andra områden såsom resistens mot skadeinsekter och virus. Persikbladlusen är en bladlus som kan angripa bland annat sockerbetan och sprida virus med stora ekonomiska Myzus persicae Sulzer is viewed as a pest since it feeds on crops and spreads viruses which affect yield if not dealt with in time. M. persicae is a vector for over 100 viruses. One such virus is called Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) which affects the leaves of sugar beet. Symptoms start with chlorosis at the tip of the leaf and spread until the whole leaf is yellow, brittle and thick. This resu

Andelen elever med diagnostiserat autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) ökar och framgångsrika försök har gjorts för att höja pedagogisk personals kunskap om och self-efficacy rörande denna elevgrupp. Med kvasiexperimentell pre-test post-test-design undersöktes i den aktuella studien effekten av en kort teoretiskt undervisande intervention på pedagogisk personals autismkunskap och autismspecifika self-eff

Människans nuvarande sätt att leva utgör ett stort hot mot mänsklighetens fortsatta existens på jorden. För att skydda de återstående ekosystemen spelar näringslivet en avgörande roll. Därmed kommer individers sätt att driva hållbarhetsutveckling inom företag att påverka hur stora klimatförändringarna blir. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan anställdas motivatThe current way of life poses a major threat to humanity's continued existence on earth. In order to protect the remaining ecosystems, business plays a crucial role. Thus, individuals' ways of driving sustainability development within companies will affect how large the climate change will be. The aim of this study is to investigate whether employees´ motivation correlates with their views
