This thesis begins by briefly discussing translation in general, identifying some of the problems involved in the linguistic activity. Then it seeks to explain what is involved in translation relating to film and television, i.e. subtitling. Finally, a comparison will be made between the Spanish speech in the Mexican film, Como agua para chocolate - directed by Alfonso Arau in 1992 and based on hi
Degradation of tools is a prevalent aspect in the mechanical world; due to the advancement of technologies and intense research and development, there are new ways and ideas to curb or delay the tool failures; one such idea is to implement Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) with various reinforcement materials. This thesis focuses on improving the hardness and wear resistance of Hadfield steel b
Introduction The aim of this study is to determine the locations for school construction in two isolated mountainous communities in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) – Khorog and Porshnev towns. In recent decades, this region has become increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters. A major contributing factor to this vulnerability is the fact that very little land is available for human se
Våren 2015 spenderade jag som praktikant på kulturfövaltningen i Malmö stad. Under min tid där skrev jag en rapport som handlade om hur organisationer som beviljats verksamhetsstöd inför 2015 arbetade med jämställdhet. Anledningen till att jag skrev rapporten var att kulturstödsenheten året innan hade instiftat nya mål kring att organisationerna nu var tvungna att beskriva hur de jobbade med jämstDuring the spring of 2015 I had an internship at the department of culture in Malmo. My main task assignment was to write a report on how the organizations that had been given financial support from the department were working with equality issues. My bachelor thesis is a continuing on that report were I further explore how the organizations describe how they work with equality within their own or
In this thesis we study the width of the Higgs boson in the process pp → t ̄t 4l at LO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO to generate the events. The contributions including the Higgs signal, continuum background and interference were considered in order to calculate the expected number of events in a broad range of four-lepton invariant masses. Due to strongly enhanced off-shell contributions an upper bound
Background: Family risks for urinary tract cancers (excluding kidney cancers) are known, but less is known about whether rare urinary tract cancer subtypes are also familial and if urinary tract cancers share familial risk for other (discordant) cancers. Objective: To investigate the impact of family history on urinary tract cancers (International Classification of Diseases version 7 code 181) and
The Swedish school system is highly influenced by the extensive school reforms that took place in the beginning of 1990s. Through the free school reform, a market was created where schools compete with other schools, the main aim being higher quality and lower costs. The recent debate regarding free schools is mainly driven by ideological narratives where questions about free schools’ impact on co
Guide to register research education courses in the LTH course database (FUD) This document is aimed for department level research education study directors as well as research education leaders at LTH. It explains what needs to be included, and why, in order for a research education subject to register a research education course in the course database FUD. It also explains the review process and
This thesis examines the theory of technopopulism, defined as an organized political logic that combines technocratic and populist forms of rule. According to Christopher J Bickerton & Carlo Invernizzi Accetti the technopopulist political logic is dominating contemporary European democratic societies since the beginning of the 1990ies. This essay therefore aims to test this theory on Swedish c

Data wasavailable from august 2015
Dogs exhibit an exceptional range of morphological diversity as a result of their long-term association with humans. Attempts to identify when dog morphological variation began to expand have been constrained by the limited number of Pleistocene specimens, the fragmentary nature of remains, and difficulties in distinguishing early dogs from wolves on the basis of skeletal morphology. In this study
Background Acute pyelonephritis is a common infection in adult women, but there is a paucity of controlled trials of its treatment and the optimum duration of antibiotic treatment has not been properly defined. We compared the efficacy of ciprofloxacin for 7 days and 14 days in women with community-acquired acute pyelonephritis. Methods In a prospective, non-inferiority trial undertaken at 21 cent
MOD17A2 provides operational gross primary production (GPP) data globally at 1 km spatial resolution and 8-day temporal resolution. MOD17A2 estimates GPP according to the light use efficiency (LUE) concept assuming a fixed maximum rate of carbon assimilation per unit photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the vegetation (epsilon(max)). Minimum temperature and vapor pressure deficit derive
In a multicultural society, ethnocultural empathy has become an important element in most health settings and development of this capacity has become a central component for health care professionals in their interactions with patients and clients. In this study, differences in basic empathy and ethnocultural empathy were explored in a sample of 365 undergraduate students at the beginning and end
This thesis consists of five papers on different aspects of parametervariation in some common exchange rate models.The first paper investigates the stability in the real exchange rate, witch is equivalent to purchasing power parity (PPP). In recent empirical literature on purchasing power parity, the focus has been on the stationarity of real exchange rates, instead of strict constancy. Earlier st
