In this paper, we present three studies in which we develop and test different representations of intonation contours and prosodic stress with the aim to provide foreign language learners with a notation that they can easily interpret. Study I addresses learners’ productions of target intonation based on six common notation systems. The results reveal how learners themselves make sense of the diff
International practice theory (IPT) is now firmly established as a key theoretical and methodological framework for International Relations (IR), offering novel ways to address the oversight around the ‘everyday’ in global politics. Yet, the presumed novelty of such an approach is surprising to feminist, race, and postcolonial IR scholars who have thought deeply about the problem of the everyday.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det diskuteras idag mycket kring geografisk informationskvalitet och hur viktigt det är att känna till kvalitén på data. Eftersom det är vanligt att företag och myndigheter byter data med varandra är det extra viktigt att kvalitén är känd för att kunna avgöra användbarheten av den. Trots detta saknas det information om hur kvalitetskontroller har genomförts samtSisyla is a joint project between the counties of Skåne, Blekinge, Jönköping, Kronoberg and Kalmar in Sweden. A geographic database has been built with the aim to study the service situation of the area. The main purpose of this thesis is to find a method to investigate the quality of the Sisyla database and to apply it. The method is adjusted to the standard ISO 19114. The agreement between the d
The body of international environmental law consists of framework agreements with vague norms that cannot be used in an operative manner. At the same time, sustainable development law promotes an integrated approach to social, economic and environmental issues, including other actors than states, which involves an increased pressure on private actors to take part in the efforts to protect the envi
This paper examines the applicability of three licensing models, compulsory licensing, free licensing and FRAND licensing, to green technology patent pools. Given that green technologies are critical in addressing global environmental challenges and achieving the SDGs, they can be effective in balancing incentives for innovation with wider dissemination of technologies. This study evaluates ea
Rätten till tystnad är en av de viktigaste rättigheterna som syftar till att skydda en tilltalad från tvång och påtryckningar från de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna. Rättigheten är däremot inte absolut, utan en tilltalad kan ibland åläggas en så kallad förklaringsbörda. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om förklaringsbördan i brottmål uppfyller rättssäkerhetskravet som ställs i en rättsstat. MThe right to silence is one of the most important rights which serves to pro-tect the accused from coercion from law enforcement. However, the right to silence is not an absolute right. The accused can sometimes be obligated to satisfy a so-called “burden of explanation”. The purpose of this essay is to examine if the burden of explanation lives up to the criteria of legal certain-ty, as demanded
The rapid adoption of generative AI in organisations has given rise to a growing phenomenon known as Shadow AI, which refers to the informal and unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees outside organisational oversight. This study examines what governance mechanisms organisations in Sweden, using Microsoft Copilot, implement to manage risks associated with Shadow AI. A qualitative research approa
This thesis examines how variation in European states’ military expenditure after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 can be understood through geographic proximity to Russia, NATO membership and threat perception. The study combines a quantitative analysis of 39 European states during the period 2008–2024 with qualitative case studies of Poland, Portugal and Hungary. The theoretical f
Stora delar av det svenska bostadsbeståndet kännetecknas av nyttomaximering och konformitet. Examensarbetet undersöker några av Sveriges mest unika bostadshus, nämligen vattentorn som ombildats till bostäder. Författaren intresserades av ämnet på grund av ett uppmärksammat bostadsvattentornsprojekt i sin hemstad och kopplar fenomenet till två vanligen förekommande begrepp i civilingenjörsutbildninWith time buildings are prone to lose their purpose. Meanwhile cities face demand for urban densification. This paper focuses on obsolete water towers repurposed to unique housing in Sweden. In Sweden 15 water towers have been turned into multy-family dwellings. This has resulted in 266 flats of which 156 are reserved for students. The total floor area of these are 12 761 square meters. Origin
This master’s thesis has examined the feasibility of an accumulator-based actuation method for the BorgWarner (BW) electric torque vectoring and disconnect (eTVD) system. The requirements for the proposed concepts were defined based on the performance of the baseline eTVD and served as reference criteria throughout the development process. A strong emphasis was placed on reducing system complexit
In the policy discourse on societal challenges, it has become common to think of innovation policy as a key tool for addressing societal challenges. However, we argue that innovation policy has limits to what it can do, and for it to remain a useful tool for tackling societal challenges, it is necessary to re-assess its role. Thus, this paper addresses the following research questions: To what ext
This manuscript reports the results of an international consensus on technologies of hyperthermic intraperitoneal perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed with the following goals: To provide recommendations for the technological parameters to perform HIPEC. To identify the role of heat and its application forms in treating peritoneal metastases. To provide recommendations regarding the correc
This article presents a comprehensive database featuring the digitized, cleaned, geocoded, and linked data of the Swedish manufacturing censuses between 1863 and 1900. The data covers close to the universe of Swedish manufacturing activity and includes establishment-level information on workers, the sum of production value, and toll as output value. The article describes how the data was originall
