In this study I investigate how relative clauses in MSA effect the temporal properties of the verb form known as Perfect. Comrie (1976), and later Fassi Fehri (2004), describe the Perfect as having the properties of anteriority and perfectivity, i.e. it reports a finished situation temporally anterior either to the time of speech or to some other point in time. My hypotheses is that the Perfect in
Deforestation is a major issue due to the multitude of negative impacts it has on the environment, forests are for example important carbon sinks, and thus deforestation contributes to climate change. Additionally, inequality is on the rise, both within and between countries. A lot of deforestation occurs in countries with high levels of inequality, such as South American countries. It is therefor
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
Mozambique has benefited from very high economic growth the last decade and is a large receiver of foreign aid. In spite of these high growth rates and foreign aid the population living in absolute poverty is still extremely high. The reason for this is that the growth rates have been driven by capital intensive foreign owned megaprojects that do not provide many jobs for the Mozambicans. This s

Based on more than thirty years' fieldwork, this book aims to increase the understanding of music played on elaborate wooden floats which form vital components in Japanese festivals with a religious dimension. The focus is on float-festivals in Aichi prefecture in central Japan; but wider perspectives, international as well as national, also come into play.Float-festivals date back several centuriThis book aims to increase the understanding of festival music in Japan.

Close study of one local festival in the town of Taketoyo is combined with a wider comparative analysis that covers most of the of the Aichi prefecture in central Japan. All these festivals are float-festivals. Charged with spiritual power, the floats serve as mobile shrines
This report aims at providing information on principles that should be considered during planning, establishment and maintenance of work zones, and inspection works. An extensive literature review has been done within the project and some of the results, e.g. of previous CEDR-projects, are included in IRIS. However, not all findings of recent studies are mentioned, as the goal was to keep the repoThis report aims at providing information on principles that should be considered during planning, establishment and maintenance of work zones, and inspection works.

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

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of online store image in the internationalization process of online retailers. Based on the assumption that a favorable image is a competitive advantage for retailers, this master thesis examines whether or not a favorable domestic online store image, can be replicated in the in- ternationalization process of online retailers. Using a comp
Since opening up their economy Chinese ODIs has started to be a large part of the country’s economic development. In recent years the share of ODI from China into the EU has increased dramatically.

The aim of this paper is to discuss and analyze three cases of local parties, often referred to as independent local lists, in Sweden. More specifically the case study consists of three cases of urban local parties which can be described as local parties in municipalities with a bigger than average population. The study contributes to the research by exclusively focusing on urban local parties whi
Thailand is facing with various extreme climate events from flood to drought. As a result of climate change, these events tend to increase in frequency and intensity. The existing water infrastructures and management is showing sign of fragility and incapable of dealing with these challenges. To increase adaptive capacity and tackle current water resource challenges, water management agencies in T

Over time, different trends have been spotted in how companies decide to locate their businesses. From the gradual rise of more offshoring of operations, to the recent increase in popularity of returning business domestically again. The topic has also received much recognition academically, with focus often placed on the factors that lead to locational competitive advantages - attributes that diff
Women have succeeded in management positions for over a generation. These positions have conventionally been understood as male and thus difficult for women to be in. On the basis of a qualitative study this thesis investigates the everyday practices and positions of women in management. Material has been collected from ethnographic methods primarily based on participant observations and interview
Abstract: China’s development today no doubt has had the country placed in the centre of the stage. However, the past turns out to be the opposite if we look back. While the other major countries stepped into the industrial era it seems like China was still napping with its daydreams. In this paper we dig deeply into the political, economic and social aspects of the country at the time and we thin
