Abstract: Reports and studies repeatedly indicate that foreign languages other than English are facing major challenges in European educational systems (European Commission, 2012). In Sweden, pupils’ motivation to learn a second foreign language (SFL) is reported to be low while motivation to learn English is high (Eurobarometer 2012, Tholin & Lindqvist 2009).

Previous research has shown self-authenticity to be an important aspect of the consumer experience, especially in luxury consumption. However, previous research has been inconclusive regarding how consumer personality traits interact with self-authenticity in a second-hand luxury consumption context. Furthermore, these personality traits were also researched when the consumer felt more deserving i

The Lisbon treaty entered into force on the 1st of December 2009 and this alters the way the European Union is governed. This thesis examines if some of the most important constitutional changes will enhance the democratic legitimacy of the European Union. The focus of my analysis is on the following aspects: that the use of qualified majority voting has expanded in the Council of Ministers; that

In this article we discuss how two types of popular romances – the desert romance and the governess romance – have blended into what we refer to as the desert-governess romance. In the world of romance, the governess and the sheikh may be an odd couple but they do make good bedfellows. Etymologically speaking, the governess (“A woman who holds or exercises authority” (OED)) is the perfect love mat

The purpose of this study is to examine the change in consumer behaviour regarding the intention towards buying fruit when the layout of the fruit section has been altered. We want to increase the probability of making impulse purchases by altering the layout. In our study we have combined structured quantitative observations with structured quantitative as well as qualitative interviews, with sec

Groundwater hydraulics and aquifer processes are largely investigated using techniques that involve some kind of borehole test pumping. Such techniques are well established in the engineering and scientific community but are resource demanding. Time series analysis offer a collection of alternative methods that can be used to evaluate groundwater processes like recharge by using natural groundwate

The purpose of the study is to investigate how current laws consider the introduction of a circular economy (CE) and reuse in the procurement stage. The study also aims to investigate what legal support is missing for reused materials to be used more than it does today. The work also aims to study the extent to which public clients currently work with reuse. In addition to that, the study investig

Background: Despite the rapid pace of assistive robotics development, adoption of these has been limited. This raises questions such as: What contributes to this low uptake? What strategies could be employed to increase uptake? What guidance can be found in the literature to inform alternative approaches or directions for development?Objective: This critical narrative review sheds light on the de-

Despite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally. Increasing our understanding of how to mitigate the consequences of such natural hazards through better detection, planning and preparedness, has constituted the overarching objective of this thesis. The thesis is based on three papers: Pap

Popular Abstract in English Extraction of valuable substances from plants using a solvent has been practised in many fields. One of the examples is making coffee or tea using hot water. In agricultural and food industry, there are tons of wastes containing valuable compounds that can be extracted before they go to incineration. Extractions are usually performed in organic solvents such as methanolPressurised hot water is an environmentally friendly alternative to hazardous organic solvents such as methanol and heptane. One of the many applications of using pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) is to extract polyphenols from plants. The challenges in PHWE lies with the optimisation of extraction yield. One factor that is often overlooked is the risk of degradation of thermally labile comp

Telomeres are special DNA-protein structures that protect ends of chromosomes from being recognized as double-strand breaks. Telomeres consist of tandemly repeated units of TG-rich DNA and associate with telomere-specific proteins.When a cell replicates its chromosomes, a certain piece of DNA is lost from chromosomal ends due to the ´´ end replication problem´´. This progressive shortening of telo

This master thesis has been conducted by a student in industrial management and engineering at EON Development AB, Gothenburg, Sweden and in association with the Division of Production Management at Lund University. It investigates important issues for EON Development in order to establish a marketing department within the Gothenburg area. A marketing function must deal with customer satisfaction

Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent
