This thesis seeks to reveal the relationship of language and content in a Moroccan short story. These relationships are defined as such by pointing out single linguistic elements in the story’s language which reproduce a certain component of the story’s content. The main question hereby asks for the effect of the author’s language on the message itself – for, as the carrier of information, languag

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Supramolekylär kemi är en relativt ny gren av kemin som involverar stora kemiska strukturer/enheter. Ett exempel på en ”supramolekyl” man dagligdags träffar på är klorofyll. Klorofyll (Figur 1 till vänster) består av en metall (magnesium) och en större kolvätestruktur som kallas porfyrin. Porfyriner finns i många olika varianter och används ofta i olika biologiskDuring the time range of this project, various compounds were synthesized. All of them will be used to synthesize the final compounds 2 and 3. Consequently, the compounds will build up a supramolecular cavity, which will be used to study a catalytic epoxidation of olefins. The aim of the project was furthermore to gain experience in laboratory work.

This thesis provides strong evidence that acoustic streaming is suppressed when using liquids of inhomogeneous density and compressibility in acoustophoresis. Manipulation of extremely small particles in acoustophoresis is something that usually is impaired by acoustic streaming. The project was divided into three aims. Firstly, a particle tracking software (GDPT) was evaluated using 3 μm polystyr

International Humanitarian Law (IHL) seeks to limit the effects of armed conflicts by protecting people not taking part in the conflict and put restrictions on the means and methods of warfare permissible. However, the legal system was created in a previous time, when armed conflicts had a different appearance. Civilian casualties constitute an absolute majority of the victims of armed conflicts t

An object in an external magnetic field will be magnetized and the degree of magnetization is dependent of the magnetic susceptibility of the object. The local magnetic field inside and around an object in the MR scanner will change due to the magnetization of the object. The phase shift is proportional to the local magnetic field, which means that phase images hold information about the susceptib

Classification of cell images is conventionally done manually in hematology laboratories by medical technologists. CellaVision aims to automate this work in order to make the analysis process faster, better and more flexible. The automatic classification is currently done by processing each individual cell image through a Convolutional Neural Network. This methodology does not exploit any correlat

Title: The perceived innovativeness of the manufacturing process and perceived product quality. The case of creative and technology-intensive industries. Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Federica Piccone & Joanna Pilawa Supervisor: Javier Cenamor Keywords: manufacturing process; perceived innovativeness; perceived quality Thesis Purpose: The main purpose is to

The thesis sets out to explore the role and meaning of friendships across two age groups. This is attained by a generational interview design where the groups are separated by nearly 20 years. The thesis is motivated by an alleged seismic shift towards the importance of friendships as the nuclear family imagery is on a purported decline in ‘contemporary society’ as suggested by the academic litera

By performing a field experiment within behavioural economics with focus on creating a nudge, this study enables to investigate whether a nudge that create better awareness have ability to influence individuals to make a more environmental friendly decision. By performing a field experiment in cooperation with Länsförsäkringar Skåne, the study shows that the nudges have a significant impact of rai

Droughts have intensified under climate change, threatening ecosystem stability. While rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations may enhance vegetation drought resistance, the net effect remains uncertain amid concurrent warming. Here we combine ecological modeling with multi-source observations to investigate how CO2 and warming jointly regulate vegetation drought responses on the Qinghai-Tibetan Pla
