This study investigates the mechanisms of (de)coding modality, focusing on the interpretation of utterances containing the modals must, may, måste, and kan. The main research question posed in this study is what enables the interlocutors to interpret modal expressions so that communicative goals are achieved. To answer this general question, Coates's (1983) study on modal contexts is initially rep
Results are presented on the production of jets of particles in association with a Z/gamma* boson, in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector. The analysis includes the full 2010 data set, collected with a low rate of multiple proton-proton collisions in the accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1). Inclusive jet cross sections in Z/gamma* even
Abstract: This thesis examines the non-dominant and self-subversive aspects of visuality in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 through the lens of the philosophical discussion on representation, particularly in its post-structuralist context. The present research is grounded in the conviction that 2666 embodies the 20th-century crisis of representation and approaches the novel through an analysis of different
Our entire society relies on technologies to function. Critical infrastructure like: water, power, transportation and communication systems amongst other things are technologies connected to the cyberspace. The cyber security is therefore to be considered a matter of national security, hence it also needs to be handle like a national security matter. Many states has come to the conclusion that pub
This thesis is a study of the articles published in the Chinese newspaper 人民日报 Renmin Ribao, the People’s Daily, during the Great Chinese famine 1959-1961. The famine is considered to be the worst famine in the history of China and an estimated more than 30 million people died of starvation or illnesses brought about by starvation during these years. This thesis will be focusing on the articles pu
Testamentet uppstod i Sverige på 1200-talet, som resultatet av kyrkligt inflytande. Testamentsrätten, som idag finns i ärvdabalken, har formats långsamt sedan dess. Först på 1930-talet fick testamentet sin nuvarande form i testamentslagen. Enligt gällande rätt utgörs ett ordinärt testamente av en skriftlig handling som undertecknats av testatorn och bevittnats av två vittnen. Vid nödfall eller sjuThe Swedish will first appeared in Sweden during the 13th century as a result of the church’s influence. The law of wills, a part of the Swedish inheritance code, is the result of an evolution extending from the 13th century into the 1930’s when the will was given its current form prescribed by law. An ordinary will requries a written document, signed by the testator and witnessed by two wittnesse
The master thesis examines what evaluation methods that are available to evaluate RVA-work and analyze which of the methods that are best suited for Malmo. Thereafter two alternative evaluation methods will be presented. This will be based on the literature study of evaluation methods for RVA-work, interview study with Swedish municipalities about their RVA-work and a study of Malmo’s RVA-work for
This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
Vid skadeståndslagens tillkomst 1972 infördes ett lagstadgat principalansvar, en ansvarsgrund som tidigare endast haft stöd i rättspraxis och då varit kraftigt begränsad. Principalansvaret, som återfinns i 3 kap. 1 § SkL, innebär att arbetsgivare har ett skadeståndsrättsligt ansvar för skador dennes arbetstagare vållar annan i tjänsten. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda omfattningen av principaWhen the Liability for Damages Act came into force in 1972, vicarious liability was laid down in law, a principle that previously had only been found in case law where it was severely restricted. Vicarious liability, which is found in chapter 3 § 1 in the Liability for Damages Act, means that an employer is liable for indemnity for damages that his or her employees have caused others during work.
Under hösten presenterades en utredning, SOU 2013:62, för att komma åt de problem som Sverige har gällande förbudet mot dubbelbestraffning enligt 4 artikeln, sjunde tilläggsprotokollet Europakonventionen och artikel 50 i EU:s stadga. Detta för att EU-domstolen och Europadomstolen tidigare meddelat att Sveriges system angående skattetillägg och skattebrott inte varit förenligt med dessa bestämmelseIn the fall of 2013 a report was presented, SOU 2013:62, in order to address the problems by the Swedish legislation on the prohibition of the principle ne bis in idem under article 4, Protocol seven ECHR and Article 50 of the EU Charter. The Court and the European Court earlier announced that the Swedish system regarding tax surcharges and criminal sanctions for tax offences, not been consistent
This study intends to place the literary and cultural criticism of the Finland-Swedish writer and critic Hagar Olsson during the period 1918 to 1948 in the context of the history of ideas in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe and America at the time. While doing so she appears at the frontline of the modernist movement in Swedish literature, both as a critic and a writer, that which is often negle
One of today’s most valuable trade routes consists of digital submarine cables trafficking the seabed of the oceans. Our modern society depends on fast and secure digital connections for economic transactions, government for vital functions and military communication. This has become an arena for competition and an instrument for geopolitical power used by great powers such as USA and China. The g
Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif
The aim of the thesis is to explore the relevance and the values related to physical books for students in the library room. The thesis addresses questions of how students use the physical books in the library room and if the physical books are perceived by the students as a source of formal and informal learning and serendipity. It will also try to find out what impact physical books have on stud
Magnetic compass orientation by amphibians, and some insects, is mediated by a light-dependent magnetoreception mechanism. Cryptochrome photopigments, best known for their role in circadian rhythms, are proposed to mediate such responses. In this paper, we explore light-dependent properties of magnetic sensing at three levels: (i) behavioural (wavelength-dependent effects of light on magnetic comp
The role of culture is often overlooked in economics. Despite culture permeating every part of society and differing greatly between countries, economists have had little time for it. However, as economics slowly move away from the neoclassical assumptions of perfectly functioning markets, culture is becoming more and more relevant. The aim of this thesis is to look into the connections between cu
This is a bachelor thesis about fisheries and harbor seals on the west coast of Sweden. This study scrutinizes the relationship between them both and appropriate solutions to get a good interaction between fishermen and harbor seal. A qualitative method was best suited for the study as it aims to investigate the perceived reality of fishermen that exists in our surroundings. The study is based on
