Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. This has been repeatedly observed by studies using event-related potentials (ERPs), fu

Torrlagda våtmarker släpper ut mer växthusgaser än alla personbilar i Kristianstad kommun. Mer än 70 procent av utsläppen kan undvikas genom att marken läggs under vatten igen. Det visar resultaten från denna studie som har kartlagt dränerade våtmarker i kommunen. Men det finns tydliga intressekonflikter då merparten av utsläppen kommer från jordbruksmark. På nationell nivå är det likadant: uEmissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi

High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severit

This Master’s Thesis was written in collaboration with Handelsbanken Asset Man- agement in Stockholm, through the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This paper aims to investigate algoritmic trading on the financial market from a theo- retical and a practical perspective. The theoretical section presents an approach of using sentiment analysis for predicting asset price movements. The algo

Previously, Berg and Purcell found an expression for the diffusion current of particles into a set of receptors in their paper Physics of Chemoreception. These receptors were assumed to be uniformly distributed on a spherical cell's surface and the receptors where idealized as circular patches. For their model, the particles' diffusion constant was the same for all points outside of the ce

Sympoietiska rum är en undersökande och reflekterande process som utforskar hur sympoiesis kan användas som redskap för att generera mötesplatser mellan olika arter i staden. Projektet har sin utgångspunkt i konceptet sympoiesis, vetenskapshistorikern och vetenskapsteoretikern Donna Haraways teori om samhörigheten mellan olika arter. Jag har använt sympoiesis som teoretisk grund för att spekulera Sympoietic spaces is an investigative and reflective process that explores how sympoiesis can be used as a tool to speculate in multispecies meeting spaces in the city. The project has its starting point in the concept of sympoiesis, science historian and science theorist Donna Haraway’s theory of the interconnected relationships between species. Various questions have driven the work forward and

Sub-band full duplex is a new communication scheme technology, where a single frequency band is partitioned into sub-bands for downlink (DL) and up-link(UL) transmissions, and both can take place simultaneously. The idea behind the sub-band full duplex development is to improve the throughput, and coverage and reduce the latency of the UL communication by allowing the UL reception during the DL tr

Modern human animals’ relationship with Nature is damaged and damaging. An emotional and physical separation is at play in this broken bond, with footwear literally and metaphorically embodying the disunion between spirit and body. This research explores how North Atlantic populations can use barefooting to support the healing of human animal connection with Nature, leading to pro-environmental be

Barnfridsbrottet infördes för att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för barn som bevittnar brott mellan närstående. Även om rättsväsendet i och med den nya regleringen har fått verktyg att synliggöra och hjälpa dessa barn, finns en faktor som resulterar i en särbehandling av dem i rättstillämpningen. Denna faktor utgörs av lagrummets närståenderekvisit, som kräver att det utsatta barnet ska vara This thesis presents the new offense that was introduced in order to strengthen the protection of children who witness certain crimes committed between relatives or other persons whom the child can be considered to have an emotional attachment to. Even though the criminalisation has enabled the legal system to identify and assist these children to a greater extent, a factor remains which results i

Bakgrund: Åttiotvå procent av Sveriges befolkning har någon gång under sin livstid avstått från att söka vård för problem kopplade till sin sexuella hälsa. Majoriteten av arbetsterapeuter lyfter inte sexuella hälsoproblem med sina patienter på grund av bristande kunskap, otydliga riktlinjer samt få träningsmöjligheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka faktorer i mötet mellan arbetsterapeut och kliBackground: Eighty two percent of Sweden's population has at some point in their lifetime refrained from seeking care for problems connected to their sexual health. The majority of occupational therapists do not approach sexual health problems with their patients, due to a lack of knowledge, unclear guidelines and few training opportunities. Aim: The aim was to explore factors in the meeting b

Straffbuden för givande respektive tagande av muta träffar ett brett spektrum av personer. Trots reformen som skett på området år 2012 är brottsbalkens bestämmelser svårtolkade och allmänt hållna. Därutöver saknas det fortfarande en legaldefinition av rekvisitet ”otillbörlig förmån” som är det rekvisit som avgränsar en tillåten förmån från en otillåten sådan. Vad som bedöms vara otillbörligt varieThe legal regulation of giving and receiving bribes affect a wide range of individuals. Despite the reform that took place in 2012, the provisions of The Swedish Penal Code regarding this area are difficult to interpret and generally vague. Furthermore, there is still no legal definition of the element of "undue advantage," which distinguishes a permissible advantage from an impermissibl

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra med kunskap om snickares matematikanvändning och fråga om byggelever tror att matematik används i yrket, och i så fall vilken. Syftet är också att se ifall byggelever anser att matematik 1a är en rättfärdigad kurs i sin utbildning. Studiens empiriska material består av kvalitativa intervjuer med snickare och elever om deras åsikter om matematik i yrkesliThe purpose of this master thesis is to gain knowledge of carpenters' use of mathematics and inquire whether students enrolled in the VET carpentry believe that mathematics is used in carpentry, and if so which areas of mathematics. The purpose is further to see whether the VET students believe that the Swedish mandatory course in mathematics, matematik 1a, is a justified course in their educa

Automatiserad ärendehandläggning är vanligt förekommande inom den offentliga förvaltningen och beräknas öka. Trots att automatiserad ärendehandläggning inte är något nytt rättsligt fenomen är regleringen på området bristfällig. Även grundläggande konstitutionella frågor kopplade till automatiserad ärendehandläggning har blivit eftersatta av lagstiftaren och behöver utredas. Syftet med uppsatsen äAutomated decision-making is common in public administration and is expected to increase. Although automated decision-making is not a new legal phenomenon, the regulation in the area is deficient. Even fundamental constitutional issues linked to automated decision-making have been neglected by the legislator and need to be investigated. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate and analyze auto

Den allvarliga brottsligheten som begås av kriminella nätverk har ökat drastiskt under de senaste åren. Skjutningar och sprängningar har blivit alltmer förekommande och diskuteras frekvent i medier och politiska debatter. Hur man ska komma till rätta med problemet är en angelägen fråga. Ett av förslagen, för att ge de brottsutredande myndigheterna effektivare verktyg för att förhindra denna typ avSerious crimes committed by criminal networks have increased over the last couple of years. Shootings and explosions have become more common and are frequently discussed in media and political debates. How to solve this problem is an important question and a proposal that has been suggested, with the purpose to give criminal investigation authorities more effective tools to prevent these serious c

This research explores the effect of the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) on multi-level governance (MLG) by adducing the theory of postfunctionalism’s explanatory power. Previous MLG research on the COVID-19 crisis found alternating national centralisation/decentralisation movements due to crisis management. Scrutinising the watershed RRF offers novel insights into MLG’s de

Den svenska rättsstaten står inför allvarliga prövningar. Det grova våldet till följd av skjutvapen har ökat markant i Sverige, och risken för tredje man att drabbad av skjutningar och detonationer på offentlig plats har ökat. Samtidigt som våldet även blivit mer hänsynslöst och likgiltigt. Antalet brott inom denna kategori ökar, men uppklaringsandelen är låg. En förklaring till den dystra statistThe Swedish rule of law is facing serious challenges. The use of firearms resulting in severe injury has increased significantly in Sweden, and the risk of third parties being affected by shootings and detonations in public places has increased. At the same time, the violence has become more ruthless and indifferent. While this type of violence is increasing, law enforcement agencies are at a loss

The parliamentary energy agreement of 2016 is a milestone in Sweden’s ambition to reach a renewable energy system, yet it explicitly states that it does not constitute a ban on nuclear power. The thesis examines how nuclear power as a policy alternative has been framed by different actors in the medial and political debate from 2014 up until the energy agreement was reached. The thesis makes use o

The problem that is interesting to investigate today is how EU laws have a different impact on different countries. During the refugee crisis in 2015, it was an event that affected many countries. However, the crisis was handled differently by the member states. The purpose of this essay has therefore been to investigate possible explanations for the handling of a crisis. This through political, e

Under de senaste åren har det uppkommit ett fåtal fall där foster/barn uppvisar livstecken eller livsduglighet vid sen abort. Det har medfört en diskussion, såväl etisk som rättslig, avseende hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens agerande i den uppstådda situationen. En del anser att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal bör ge foster/barn den vård som krävs med syfte att foster/barn ska överleva. Detta motiveraDuring the last couple of years, there have been a few cases where foetuses/children show signs of life or viability after late abortion. This has led to a discussion ethical and legally, regarding the actions of the healthcare professionals towards the fetus/child. Some argue that healthcare professionals should provide the foetuses/children with the necessary care for the foetuses/children to su

I kölvattnet av den omtalade ”snippadomen” har debatten om det svenska nämndemannasystemet väckts på nytt våren 2023. Debatten uppmärksammar dels problematiken kring de politiska partiernas nära inblandning med rekryteringen av nämndemän, dels huruvida nämndemannasystemet som det ser ut idag är motiverat. Flera politiska partier har uttryckt en önskan att reformera systemet utan att ge exempel på In the wake of a highly controversial appellate court verdict from February 2023, the debate about the Swedish lay judge system has been revived. The debate highlights both the problems surrounding the political parties’ close involvement in the recruitment of lay judges as well as whether the current lay judge system is justified. Several political parties have expressed a desire to reform the sy
