Processability Theory (PT) is a well-established theoretical framework within the field of Second Language Acquisition, which describes the development of acquiring language as a process of acquiring procedural skills. The procedural skills are necessary for the learner being able to process different grammatical structures of the target language, and these are obtained by the learner through avai

As online shopping continues to increase in popularity, more and more pressure is put on businesses to reevaluate which of their services that can be sold from a web- site. While the telecom market for businesses still only use expert salespersons to describe and put a price on their services, innovative companies such as Telavox are looking into new ways of exposing more of their information onli

The main purpose of this thesis is to explore how to deal with an industrial heritage in both urban and more detailed, architectural scale. The project location indicates another significant key issue - waterfront identity, which is essential for the city of Amsterdam. This thesis proposes a complex masterplan for the area, which provides diverse housing options, varied public spaces of different

Jamaica has struggled to curb the number of road crash fatalities, having had on average 25 fatalities per month between 2010 and 2014, while many more persons have been injured. The causes of crashes are multidimensional, however this study focused on understanding one aspect of reducing crashes - safe road design. The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between road design chara

In this thesis methods for finding state space representation parameters for low inductance DC-motors are found and evaluated. Theory previously tested in simulations is verified experimentally and improved upon for both linear behaviour when the motor is controlled with a DC-source as well as nonlinear behaviour when controlled with pulse width modulation (PWM). For the linear behaviour a linear

Ohälsosamma matvanor har visat sig påverka skolprestationer och bidra till läs- och skrivsvå- righeter hos barn och ungdomar. Det bidrar också till en rad olika folksjukdomar som visas först i vuxen ålder. Med hjälp av sin kompetens i folkhälsa kan skolsköterskan ge elever kun- skaper om levnadsvanor och faktorer som främjar en god hälsa. Syftet med studien var att be- skriva skolsköterskans arbet

Socialstyrelsen har tagit fram kvalitetsindikatorer som belyser viktiga delar av den palliativa vården. Syftet med studien var att undersöka kvaliteten på den palliativa vården utifrån Socialstyrelsens kvalitetsindikatorer för god palliativ vård för äldre personer i särskilt boende och hemsjukvård i Skåne 2016, samt undersöka om det finns skillnader av kvaliteten på särskilt boende jämfört med per

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka tankar, metoder och idéer som tvåämneslärare i musik och engelska besitter kring-, samt hur de ställer sig till ämnesintegrering av dessa två ämnen. Studien, som är fokuserad kring grundskolan undersöker även hur lärarna anser att ovanstående påverkar elevernas lärande. För att nå svar på dessa frågor utfördes kvalitativa intervjuer med tre yrkesverksamThe overall aim of this study is to dig deeper into the field of subject integration in music and English to gain practical and theoretical knowledge about what effects there are on student learning in that context. Thus, this study investigates the field of music- and English subject integration specifically focusing on primary and secondary school. I have conducted qualitative interviews with th

I detta exjobb skapades ett arbetsförlopp för avluftning och tvättprocess av den nya avluftaren så att både avluftnings- och tvättprocessen startades och kördes automatiskt med en enda ”start” knapp.The goal of this study was to investigate if a new deaeration machine was more efficient than the current deaeration machine used at Akzo Nobel. The results showed that the deaeration of the black tinter with the new machine went successful with less than 2 % air content in the tinter. This tinter was only deaerated with the new machine and the efficiency between the new and current machine could

Car sharing as an idea challenges the prevailing mobility regime in the global north that has been built around private vehicle ownership. Well established regimes such as this, over time generate norms and collect actors that become dependent on the private car as the dominant form of mobility. These norms and actors, whose very existence is at times contingent on upholding the current socio-tech

Kan man låta datorn bestämma den säkraste designen för en bil? och kommer en ökning av temperaturen i det använda materialet att påverka denna design? I examensarbetet ”Thermoplasticity in topology optimization based on finite strain” undersöks hur den genererade temperaturen vid en snabb och stor ihoptryckning av en struktur påverkar den design som ̈är bäst på att absorbera energi vid t.ex. en krA thermoplastic finite strain model is used to model heat generation due to plastic work. Isotropic hardening is used, where the mechanical dissipation acts as heat source in the heat equation. The multiplicative split of the deformation gradient makes it possible to separate plastic and elastic effects. The model is solved by using the Newmark time integration scheme with the finite element metho

In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla

Denna uppsats innehåller en studie av unga personers medievanor. Uppsatsen fokuserar på ungas konsumtion av nyheter och vilka tankar de själva har kring deras nyhetsvanor. Till grund för analysen ligger insamlat material från två stycken gruppintervjuer. En av grupperna består av tre stycken politisk aktiva ungdomar som är medlemmar i ett politiskt ungdomsförbund och den andra består av tre ungdom

Syre är det tredje vanligaste grund ämnet i rymden efter väte och helium. Det förekommernaturligt i tre stabila isotoper; nämligen syre 16,17 och18. Syre 16 är den dominerandesyre isotopen och den huvudsakliga produkten vid kärnbr änning av helium och neon. Dessareaktioner kan ta mellan 3 och 106 år och sker vanligen i det inre omr ådet av massiva stjärnor med exempelvis åtta gånger solens massa. Oxygen is produced inside massive stars and dispersed into the interstellar medium mainly through type II supernovae explosions. This element, which is the third most abundant one in the Universe, plays an important role in tracing the Galactic chemical history and evolution. This study aims at determining oxygen abundances from a sample of 714 F and G dwarf stars located in the solar neighborhoo

Gentrification is a process of neighborhood change where the low-income group is displaced to leave the space for middle or high income residents or investors, whereas domicide is the killing of homes. The political economy and its basis operate where there is private ownership of major production on land and rent-seeking behavior of the capital and social. This is a very powerful primary influenc

Following the peace treaty between Sweden and the regency of Algiers in 1729, the first Swedish consulate was established in this city. One of the first employees at the consulate was a man named Carl Reftelius (d. 1758), who, after approximately two years of service, returned home and wrote the very first Swedish account of the city and its inhabitants: Historisk och Politisk Beskrifning Öfwer Ri

Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet.

This thesis aimed to discover the underlying causes for the drastic loss in support for the Sunshine Policy and the role of the Ministry of Unification throughout its duration. The Sunshine Policy was a new approach to inter-Korean relations by the progressives in South Korea which, despite initially strong support, would eventually become disfavoured among large parts of the population. An establ

A section of the Swedish library act stipulates that libraries are to pay specific attention to people with disability. Exhaustion syndrome is a mental disability that in recent years has started to grow rapidly in numbers. This master thesis is mainly aiming to study whether public libraries are welcoming and functional places for people with exhaustion syndrome but it also has a wider scope stud
