The Mandarin Chinese grammatical marker le has long been a major focus of grammatical research in Chinese linguistics, yet no definition of its semantics has been able to comprehensively account for the marker's full range of functions and uses. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to identify all major meanings expressed by each conventionally accepted le type in a sentence, and investi

Sedan början av 2000-talet har mängden anskaffad materiel bland anställda i Försvarsmakten ökat. Det är i huvudsak personlig utrustning. Detta trots att Försvarsmakten har tydliga regler och instruktioner som säger att det inte är tillåtet. Anledningen till detta är många. De stora anledningarna är tillgängligheten till att via internet kunna, som privatperson, köpa egen militär personlig utrustni

Låneförbuden i den svenska aktiebolagslagen (ABL) utgör kapitalskydds-regler och innefattar två separata förbudsbestämmelser. Först, ett generellt låneförbud, ofta benämnt som förbudet mot närståendelån, som specificeras i 21 kap. 1§ ABL. Detta förbud hindrar aktiebolag från att låna ut pengar till exempelvis styrelsemedlemmar, aktieägare i bolaget, eller andra bolag inom samma koncern. För det anThe loan prohibitions in the Swedish Aktiebolagslagen (ABL) constitute capital protection rules and mainly encompass two separate prohibition provisions. First, a general loan prohibition, often referred to as the prohibi-tion against loans to related parties (närståendelåneförbudet), which is specified in ABL chapter 21, section 1. This prohibition prevents Swedish limited companies (Sw. aktiebol

Användning av maskininlärning i veterinärmedicinsk blodanalys Blodanalys är ett viktigt diagnostiskt verktyg inom både human- och veterinärmedicin tack vare den omfattande fysiologiska informationen blod kan förtälja. Idag finns det automatiska, digitala analysmetoder tillgängliga som möjliggör mer effektiv analys samt minskad variation mellan olika observatörer. Blod analyseras oftast i en regioCurrent automated haematology systems lack the functionality of avian blood analysis using 10x magnification, which is an important feature as it allows for faster and more cost-effective blood analysis. The problem originates from the difference in red blood cell morphology in avian blood compared to mammalian blood, as the former are nucleated. The project was divided in two objectives, finding

This study investigates the effects of a linguistic self-distancing technique during reflection on affect, challenge versus threat appraisal, and anticipatory stress for individuals in high-stress occupations. Research in the laboratory suggests that reflections using non-first-person pronouns can reduce emotional reactivity to stressors, improve challenge appraisal, and reduce stress anticipation

Evacuation models can be reliably used if they are sufficiently validated for the application in question (e.g. Fire Safety Engineering). To be useful, an evacuation model should therefore be an accurate enough representation of the real-world behaviour of evacuees. The scope of this work was to determine how accurately the model crowd:it (making use of the Optimal Steps Model) provides a represen

Det byggs fler solenergianläggningar än någonsin, och det är en utveckling som bara ser ut att fortsätta under de kommande åren. Solcellsmodulerna som används i dessa så kallade solparker produceras och installeras idag med en beräknad livstid på minst 25 år; 25 år där de förväntas producera elektricitet och samtidigt konstant exponeras för olika väderförhållanden. Av alla installerade solcellsmodMore solar power plants are being built than ever, and the number only seems to increase every year. The photovoltaic modules used in these plants are manufactured and installed today with an estimated lifetime of a minimum of 25 years; 25 years of constant exposure to various weather conditions, and 25 years of expected power production. As 90 % of all installed PV modules are less than 10 years

In 2012 a decision was made that half of the defence logistic organisation and personel in the Swedisch Armed Forces (SAF) should move to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). This decision was made after a period of downsizing the SAF and the purpose was shifted from national defence to international EU, UN and NATO commitments. Approximately 1 500 individuals working in logistics we

There is a lack of knowledge about the effects that arise for the Swedes who write or receive a military order that is written in their second language. This essay aims to investigate the effects of writing orders in English instead of Swedish to Swedish recipients and why the navy writes orders in English to Swedish recipients. In order to gain a deep insight into the problem, qualitative convers

Nyligen upptäcktes välbevarade fossil från tidig silur på Mösseberg i Västergötland, Sverige. Denna studie syftar till att ge en översikt över materialet samt fastställa dess ålder och karaktärisera depositions- och bevaringsmiljö. Även om fossilt material från Västergötland har väckt vetenskapligt intresse under århundraden, är förhållandevis lite känt om regionens siluriska stratigrafi. ProvernaA well-preserved fossil assemblage from the early Silurian has recently been discovered at Mösseberg in Västergötland, Sweden. This study aims to present an initial overview of the findings and determine the age and characteristics of the assemblage and depositional environment. While fossil material from Västergötland has garnered scientific interest for centuries, relatively little is known abou

För att fullgöra Försvarsmaktens uppgifter är samarbetet mellan civila och militära kompetenser avgörande. Trots Försvarsmaktens arbete med systematisk arbetsmiljö och skapandet av en gemensam värdegrund rapporterar myndigheten om en upplevd ”vi och dom” kultur mellan de civila medarbetarna och de militära officerarna. Syftet med studien är att belysa hur civilanställda uppfattar den militära orga

En stor del av övervakningsmarknaden utgörs av domekameror, vilka genom den kontinuerlig teknikutvecklingen erbjuder mer och mer av den allra senaste tekniken i avseende att förbättra användarens upplevelse. mmWave radar är möjligtvis en sådan teknik, vars hastiga utveckling genom IT och bilindustrin, drivit på förbättrad prestanda och lägre kostnader.

This research uniquely addresses the underexplored area of storytelling as a medium for learning and safety in sports diving, a high-risk discretionary activity. It achieves this by utilising a comprehensive mixed-method approach, that incorporates online surveys, focus groups, and interviews to gather perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders in the diving community. The informants were dive

Sambanden mellan ekonomiska förutsättningar och mental hälsa har länge fascinerat forskare inom samhällsvetenskapen. Observationsstudier har kunnat kartlägga att social klass har en graderande effekt på den mentala hälsan på gruppnivå. Sambanden har inte fått lika stor uppmärksamhet inom psykologin. Föreliggande studie undersökte därför sex psykologers upplevelse av sambanden mellan social klass oThe connections between economic conditions and mental health have fascinated scholars within the social sciences for a long time. Observational studies have been able to prove that social class has a gradient effect on mental health on a group level. The connections have not had the same amount of recognition within the psychology field. This study aims to examine six psychologists experience wit

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the fact that Dove was one of the first brands to change the narrative of beauty. Dove has emphasized the importance of displaying realness in their campaigns, and calling attention to the fact that beauty is not perfect. By repositioning their brand and connecting with consumer insight they have been leaders in revolutionizing the beauty industry. By taki

Mycoprotein är ett köttalternativ som de flesta svenskar ätit någon gång i sitt liv. Men trots att det är betydligt mer miljövänligt än vanligt kött har det fortfarande stora brister speciellt när det kommer till vattenutsläpp. I en värld där rent vatten är en bristvara finns det mycket att vinna på att kunna återvinna vattnet men kanske går det också att skapa nya värdefulla produkter samtidigt.Mycoprotein from the fungi Fusarium Venenatum A3/5 has been used as a meat alternative for a long time but little attention has been paid to the waste it creates. When the fungi is fermenting it uses a lot of water which is sent to the drain after the process is finished. This water contains large quantities of both nutrients and biomass. As circular economy is becoming more important for environm

The performance of a transmission is instrumental to the performance of a vehicle’s powertrain. In the hypercar industry, where lap time performance has a larger influence on the design of vehicle components than in normal vehicles, the impact that the transmission has is further emphasized. One key parameter to understand and model is the efficiency of the transmission, which affects acceleration

This study focuses on the estimation of lake water volume fluctuations using open-source remote sensing data and evaluates its accuracy. The research follows a three-step methodology, starting with water area estimation from Sentinel-2 imagery, followed by water level estimation using ICESat-2 satellite data, and concluding with the calculation of lake water volume differences, testing the regress

In the field of mechanical engineering, the optimization of machining processes, such as milling, is a critical factor for industrial efficiency and product quality. To this end, accurate tool life models allow for the identification of machining parameters that minimize wear and extend tool life, leading to significant improvements in process efficiency, which can lead to lowered costs, higher pr

This thesis discusses the role of women’s separatism in the organisations of women’s shelters in relation to inclusion of LGBTQ victims of domestic violence. The background for this study is prior studies that show a common occurrence of domestic violence in LGBTQ relationships, as well as a shortage of shelters to turn to, especially for people who doesn’t identify as women.
