Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar inlärning av italienska som ett av två modersmål (svenska/italienska) hos tvåspråkiga barn och som andraspråk hos svenska vuxna som lär sig italienska i Italien. Särksilt fokus ligger på ett barn som lär sig italienska som ett av två modersmål i Sverige och vi ställer oss frågan om hans italienska kommer att utvecklas som hos italienska enspråkigaThis thesis deals with the development of the DP (the Determiner Phrase) in bilingual first (2L1) and in adult second (L2) language acquisition of Italian, with a focus on a case study of Italian as a second first language. The thesis suggests that the bilingual children and the Swedish adult learners develop the Italian DP differently. The child acquiring Italian as a second first language develo

Agricultural landscape homogenization has detrimental effects on biodiversity and key ecosystem services. Increasing agricultural landscape heterogeneity by increasing seminatural cover can help to mitigate biodiversity loss. However, the amount of seminatural cover is generally low and difficult to increase in many intensively managed agricultural landscapes. We hypothesized that increasing the h

There is a growing political consensus in the European Union (EU) to move away from the current resource intensive “linear” economic system, towards an innovative system aiming at closing material loops – the so-called circular economy. An array of new policy proposals targeting all stages of the life-cycle of a product are needed to facilitate the transition to a circular economy in Europe. While

The use of fossil resources must be phased out during the next few decades in order to meet the adopted 2° target. The transition to non-fossil feedstocks in the production of chemicals and transportation fuels will make it increasingly important to economise on the biomass carbon since biomass is a limited resource. Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be used as carbon feedstock and thus serve as a valuable

Combustion and its control are essential to our existence on this planet since we knew it. Nowadays, the largest share of the world’s electricity and most of our transportation systems are powered by combustion. In addition, industrial processes also rely heavily upon combustion. In most industrial combustion systems, combustion occurs under turbulent flow conditions that can produce combustion in

Nonlinear responses to externally forced climate change are known to dampen or amplify the local climate impact due to complex cross-compartmental feedback loops in the Earth system. These feedbacks are less well represented in the traditional stand-alone atmosphere and ocean models on which many of today's regional climate assessments rely (e.g., EURO-CORDEX, NOSCCA and BACC II). This has promote

Byggnadssektorn stod för 39 % av energi- och processrelaterade koldioxidutsläpp år 2018 och globala utsläpp från byggnader ökade med 2 % för det andra året i rad. Därför är det viktigt att ta fram lösningar på byggnadsdesign som minimerar klimatpåverkan från byggnader. Samtidigt som produktionen av bostäder och kommersiella byggnader måste vara kostnadseffektiv för att skapa boende och arbetsplatsThe building and construction sector accounted for 39% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2018 and global emissions from buildings increased by 2% for the second consecutive year. It is therefore important to find building design solutions that minimise the climate impact of buildings. At the same time, the production of residential houses and commercial buildings must be co

Combustion of fossil diesel is a major environmental problem for both the climate and human health. Renewable diesel fuels have been developed and introduced to the market to reduce the net CO2 emissions. Emission control strategies, such as aftertreatment systems, have been implemented to reduce the health hazardous particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. The overall aim of t

IntroductionThe start of the 21st century is combined with the continuous replacement of classic C2/C3 chemistry with biological processes. This conversion process started at the end the 20th century and is combined with the integration of membrane processes as high selective and low energy consuming separation technologies in the production of fermentation based products. In fermentation based p

Internationally there has been a growing interest of tramways the past decades. Swedish cities have taken notice of the positive characteristics that tramway have on cities and many of them has also begun investigations for future projects including tramway. The purpose of this study was to investigate in which ways tramways can contribute in creating attractive cities. The work consists mainly of

Det familjerättsliga behovet av ekonomiskt skydd är den främsta orsaken till den i praxis skapade rättsfiguren dold samäganderätt. Med hänsyn till den speciella gemenskap som uppstår i ett äktenskap eller samboförhållande kan det ses som en naturlig utgångspunkt att egendom som inköpts för gemensamt bruk av den ene, med bidrag från den andre, ska ägas gemensamt. Den dolda samäganderättens konstrThe need for economic protection in family law is the main reason for the cre-ated concept of hidden co-ownership in case law. Given the special communi-ty that arises in a marriage or cohabitation relationship, it can be seen as a nat-ural starting point that property purchased for joint use by one person, with contributions from the other, should be owned jointly. The construction of hidden co-o

The industrial sector of Sweden used 136 TWh of energy 2022 out of which the agricultural sector used 6.09 TWh. The goal of the country is to become 50% more energy efficient by 2030 compared to 2005. Furthermore, Sweden’s long-term target is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. From 2005-2022 the total energy use of the agricultural sector has been reduced by 16% but previous stu

Background Many companies today spend more than half of their sales turnover on purchased parts and services. One dollar saved in purchasing costs contributes straight to the bottom line of the company in theory. Besides from accounting, sourcing and purchasing activities contribute to risk management and value improvement. (Van Weele, 2014) Still, many practical challenges of implementing balance

Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. I och med FN:s klimatpanels återkommande rapporter om klimatförändringen och den Europeiska Unionens nya kliThe Swedish transport sector accounts for roughly a third of the country’s total emissions of greenhouse gases, emitting 16.4 Mt CO2-equivalents in 2019. Of these emissions, the heavy road traffic accounts for 20 % and is the sectors largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after the passenger vehicle fleet. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recurring reports on the climat

Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om en marknadsanpassad socialtjänst lyckas uppfylla socialtjänstlagens intentioner om att arbeta förebyggande med unga narkotikamissbrukare. För att få svar på detta har jag dels studerat hur en sådan kommunal organisation fungerar i förhållande till lagstiftningen, dels hur många ungdomar det rör sig om som under ett år kommer i kontakt med socialt

Problem discussion: The process of paper production includes numerous steps from that a customer order is received to that a finished product is delivered to the customer. A desire exists at Holmen Paper to be able to ease and improve the complex operational methods through the use of computer-aided simulation. Based on the reasoning above the problem to solve in this master thesis is to resolve w

Trade marks perform a variety of economic functions in a commercial environment and plays an important role in a market economy. Therefore, there is a need to protect the distinguishing of competing goods and services offered by undertakings and accordingly to avoid consumer confusion. The origin function of the trade mark guarantees that all products bearing a trade mark emanate from the same com

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was adopted July 17, 1998at the Rome Conference. The Statute entered into force July 1, 2002, after that 60 States had ratified the Statute. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has now established an administration in order to be able to fulfil its mission, its mandate: Affirming that the most serious crimes of concern to the international co
