On the basis of data from Swedish, this thesis investigates the Small Clause Hypothesis put forth by Kush et al. (2013). The hypothesis is suggested to account for the rare possibility of relative clause extraction, a phenomenon that poses a challenge for syntactic theories of locality. In brief, the hypothesis states that the possibility to extract from relative clauses is restricted to cases whe
This thesis analyzes whether the wages in the south of Sweden grew faster than in other regions in Sweden during the first decade of the 21st century. The hypothesis stated is that higher wages in Denmark and the opening of the Öresund Bridge in July 2000 have led to a process of wage convergence between the two regions. The study examines the wages of nurses in order to detect a Swedish wage adju
Lauded for its success and heralded as an economic model for peripheral European countries to follow, since the bursting of the Irish property bubble in 2008 the management of the Celtic Tiger by the Irish state has been castigated as expressively how not to manage an economic bubble. Following a decade and a half of continuous growth averaging over six per cent, the Irish economy has since experi
Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi
During the Middle Ages the poor had a special place in society and were viewed upon as a means for others to reach salvation. This picture changed during the Reformation and poverty was seen both with aversion and suspicion and the Lutheran work ethic was predominant. At this time poverty was not considered to be a social phenomenon, but rather a moral defect, and most poor people were regarded to
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Brachiopodernas öde under Irevikenkatastrofen. För ungefär 430 miljoner år sedan, under tidsperioden silur, låg det område som idag är Gotland under havsytan i ett varmt, grunt hav strax söder om ekvatorn. Stora mängder kalk och lera avlagrades på havsbottnen och i havet levde bl.a. cephalopoder, trilobiter, fiskar och brachiopoder (armfotingar), det senare en bThe brachiopod fauna from parts of the Lower and Upper Visby formations on Gotland has been investigated through a combined outcrop and literature study. The strata of these formations were formed during the Ireviken Event, one of the severest identified oceanic events on Gotland, with diversity changes and extinctions among several groups of marine taxa. Seven bulk samples were collected from str
Spatial and temporal variations in malaria transmission are naturally associated with prevailing climatic and environmental factors, for example rainfall, humidity, temperature and human activities. These factors influence malaria transmission mainly in non-deterministic ways, making them less appropriate for accurate geographical mapping of malaria risk. One distinctive phenomenon, ‘photosyntheti
Alla ekosystem, skogar, sjöar, hav etc., är föränderliga och står under konstant påverkan, såväl inre som yttre, vilken försöker driva det för stunden rådande tillståndet åt olika håll. Sjöar har två dominerande tillstånd som de kan befinna sig i, antingen är de näringsfattiga och klara eller så är de näringsrika och grumliga. I den har studien har jag undersökt Börringesjön, i södra Skåne. SyftetAbstract All ecosystems, forests, lakes, seas etc., are changeable and are under constant influence, inner as well as outer, that try to push the for the moment present state in different directions. Lakes have two dominating states in which they can exist, they are either clear and low in nutrients or turbid and high in nutrients. In this study I have been examining lake Börringesjön in the sout
The heating of buildings is one of the major consumers of energy in the western world. Despite that several energy-efficient techniques and measures exists which have been proven to be cost-effective they have a hard time to find their way into practice due to barriers within the building sector. This sector is characterized by fragmentation in different stages of the buildings development process
Studies performed in various countries have shown that negative attitudes and beliefs towards stuttering and People Who Stutter (PWS), which can lead to stigmatization, discrimination and social anxiety, are widespread across different societies. It is important that clinicians are aware that patients can meet different attitudes in their daily life, affecting health care seeking behavior and self
Lärare aktiva i det svenska skolsystemet innehar inte bara en uppgift att i sin tjänst förmedla kunskap. De har även en skyldighet att upprätthålla ordning samt säkra studiero och trygghet i skolan. Efter flertalet domslut som fattats under senare år har gällande rätt visat sig vara problematisk att klart definiera, vilket resulterat i att lärare idag erfar en osäkerhet över vilka befogenheter som
Despite the so-called ‘great retreat’, in which people arguably are distancing themselves from the political sphere and civic engagement, the last two years has seen an upsurge in political activities. Outside the realms of institutionalised politics, i.e. political parties, lies a whole terrain of alternative political activities, including social movements and media institutions. Following the E
Helsingborgs Stad vill i samarbete med HSB, PEAB och Riksbyggen exploatera Sjöcrona Park i centrala Helsingborg, Sverige, med flerbostadshus. Inför en exploatering är det viktigt att ha god kunskap om geologiska förhållanden så som jordlagermäktigheter, hydrogeologi och om det finns sprickzoner eller lervittrade sprickzoner i berggrunden som påverkar bergkvaliteten. För att få en bättre bild av deThe city of Helsingborg together with HSB, PEAB and Riksbyggen wants to construct apartment buildings in Sjöcrona Park in central Helsingborg, Sweden. Before a construction it is important to have good knowledge about geological conditions such as ground layer thickness, hydrogeology and if there are any clay weathered fracture zones that may affect the quality of the bedrock. To obtain a better e

In the digital age, encounters between librarians and library users take place not only at the library, but increasingly on the web. Therefore, it is of importance that libraries reflect upon how they relate to users in the web environment. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to discern patterns regarding how librarians at the three largest public libraries in Sweden relate to users on library
The laminate flooring company Pergo (Europe) AB has during the last years identified an increasing market demand for customized flooring solutions. In the autumn of 2004 Pergo had no standardized product offer and the existing administrative process was not suited to produce and deliver customized products. Experiments concerning a new décor production technique with extensive potential based on d
