This thesis has presented four cases of hypothetical sentences using subjunctive in Spanish and their Swedish counterpart. The investigated sentences were the three subordinate clauses: consecutive, comparative and conditional as well as the principal clause that is combined with a subordinate conditional clause with si. The objective of this thesis was to investigate how hypothetical sentences us
This study is about citizen participation in regional visionary development and focuses on what makes the democratic system legitimate. The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the regional visionary plan in aspect to normative ideas about democracy. This democratic norm is borrowed from K. Sjövik and focuses on citizen participation in all aspects of democracy. The primary material for thi
This bachelor thesis is a discourse analysis on the proposal of making a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly. The analysis examines what democracy discourse is found in the material and how it is defined. The material for the discourse analysis is based on material from the international lobby-organization “The UNPA-campaign” and is understood by different democratic theories. These theories are
Challenger branding is a phenomenon that is gaining significant exposure in academia. However, most research on this branding approach relates to a practical or technical knowledge interest, ignoring the counter-hegemonic critique that exemplifies challenger branding. The critique that these brands base their identity on often shifts after they have been acquired into a hegemonic context, by joini
Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production in the H -> ZZ* -> 4l decay channel are presented. The cross sections are determined within a fiducial phase space and corrected for detection efficiency and resolution effects. They are based on 20.3 fb(-1) of pp collision data, produced at root s= 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy at the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS de
We have performed a McStas optimization of the primary spectrometer for a generic 40 m long, cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometer with a doubly focusing monochromator. The optimal design contains an elliptically focusing guide, a virtual source point before a low-grade PG monochromator, and non-equidistant focusing at the monochromator. The flux at 5 meV shows a gain factor 12 over the "classical
The potential of embryonic stem cells to differentiate to all cell types makes them an attractive model for development and a potential source of cells for transplantation therapies. Candidate approaches have identified individual genes and proteins that promote the differentiation of embryonic stem cells to desired fates. Here, we describe a rapid large-scale screening strategy for the identifica
The degeneration of neurons in the mammalian brain is commonly associated with the division of cells located in the damaged area. The aim of the present study has been to characterise the phenotype of newly born cells in the striatum of adult rats following 6-hydroxydopamine lesion of the nigro-striatal pathway. Newborn cells were identified through labelling with either bromodeoxyuridine or retro
In Iran, earthquakes cause enormous damage to the people and economy. If there is a proper estimation of human losses in an earthquake disaster, it could be appropriately responded and its impacts and losses will be decreased. Neural networks can be trained to solve problems involving imprecise and highly complex nonlinear data. Based on the different earthquake scenarios and diverse kind of const
Renewable technology expands geographically and in capacity. The long transmission distance and bulk power transfer involved make multi-terminal VSC-HVDC systems a key technology for future power systems. This expansion could be hampered by the pace of development of multi-terminal systems especially when standardization is not reached in hardware or the control system. A general control system st
