It is often said that we live in a consumer society. This does not just mean that we buy things regularly but also that consumption is an integral part of our daily lives. We have learned to think of ourselves as consumers, rather than citizens, in a variety of situations. Against this backdrop, retail organisations hold a strategically important position, not least because of the space they occup
Debates around age effects in L2 learning have mostly centred around the domains of phonology, morphosyntax, and lexis. In this chapter, we expand the scope to conceptual and cognitive restructuring, much in line with Long’s (1990, 2013) discussion of the limits of age effects. Drawing on an extensive review of the extant literature, the current chapter examines the role that age of L2 acquisition
Kan framtidens shoppingupplevelse redan ha varit här? Ja mycket av det som av både upplevelse- och hållbarhetsskäl anses tillhöra framtidens konsumtion dominerade butikslokalerna i svenska städer för hundra år sedan. Det såldes livsmedel i lösvikt, man behövde handla dagligen eftersom ingen hade kylskåp hemma och det fanns många verkstäder och skräddare där man beställde precis det man behövde (ocThis chapter is a contemplation on the future experiences of local high streets based on analysing the past and present of one such local street, Södergatan in Helsingborg, Sweden. This street was established in the mid-nineteenth century, in an emerging working-class district, Söder, whose initial residents lived in crowded conditions. Without any modern technologies for storing food, or any cars
This presentation focuses on a project at an early stage of development. The aim of the practice lab project is twofold: (i) to strengthen the competence among students in higher music education with regards to the topic of practice, and (ii) contribute to research on musical practice and skill acquisition. The project is conducted at Malmö Academy of Music (Lund university). Students take part in
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the microphilic parasitic protist Trichomonas vaginalis. The common sign and symptoms of the infection are vaginitis, cervicitis, dysuria, urethritis, vaginal discharge with foul smell, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), dyspareunia, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. It plays a vital role in the transmission and acquisition o
Warm Jupiters are ideal laboratories for testing the limitations of current tools for atmospheric studies. The cross-correlation technique is a commonly used method to investigate the atmospheres of close-in planets, leveraging their large orbital velocities to separate the spectrum of the planet from that of the star. Warm Jupiter atmospheres predominantly consist of molecular species, notably wa
Background: Medical abortion after 12 gestational weeks often requires a stay in hospital. We hypothesised that administering the first misoprostol dose at home could increase day-care procedures as compared with overnight care procedures, shorten inpatient stays, and improve patient satisfaction. Methods: This multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial was done at six hospitals in Swede
When it comes to random walk on the integers Z, the arguably first step of generalization beyond simple random walk is the class of one-sidedly continuous random walk, where the stepsize in only one direction is bounded by 1. Moreover, the time until state 0 is hit by left-continuous random walk on Z has a direct connection to the total progeny in branching processes. In this article, the probabil
E-Poster, 2 minute presentation Abstract: Introduction: The tool Assessment of Learning Process (ALP) is to a high extent based on findings from the research project Driving to Learn (1993-2007), and collaboration with Durkin (2009-2016) and Kenyon (2020 -). The eight-phase ALP-Instrument is used to assess tool-use understanding across the full lifespan. Participants and Methods: Classic grounded

Nitrifiers are the slowest growing bacteria used in conventional biological wastewater treatment. Furthermore, their growth rate is seriously hampered by low temperature. As a result, the volume needed for nitrification dominates the volume of the biological reactors at a wastewater treatment plant. As a way of enhancing nitrification and reducing this volume, bioaugmentation can be used. Nitrifie
This doctoral dissertation investigates how Plato elaborates and incorporates the works of the poets in the preludes to the laws. It is argued that the poetic style of the preludes represents a key element for the Athenian’s purpose of persuading the citizens of Magnesia to spontaneously abide to the new legislation that is being laid out.The analysis is divided in four chapters. Chapter 1 discuss
Large scale infrastructure developments means balancing of partly conflicting interests of economic growth, social cohesion, environmental impact etc. How this balancing is done when the project hits the local context is depending on the legislative framework, for instance through building permits environmental assessment. Still, there can be a big difference between the intentions of the law, and
Background How many time's a word appear in a corpu's constitute's it's word frequency. Word frequency affect's memory in robust but puzzling way's. In free recall paradigm's high frequency (HF) word's are easier to recall than low frequency (LF) word's, in list's with homogenou's word frequencie's. If HF and LF word's are mixed together in a list thi's affect recall of HF word's negatively
