The purpose of the current article is to support the investigation of linguistic relativity in second language acquisition and sketch methodological and theoretical prerequisites toward developing the domain into a full research program. We identify and discuss three theoretical-methodological components that we believe are needed to succeed in this enterprise. First, we highlight the importance o
How do political parties function abroad? How do political parties mobilize overseas supporters during elections? This chapter focuses on the cases of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), the two most successful Turkish political parties among emigrants. It compares their distinct organisational structures and mobilisation techniques when seeking to reac
Migratory naive birds are thought to find the migration route from their natal site to a specific wintering area by either clock-and-compass orientation or goal area navigation. These two alternative hypotheses were tested by extensive longitudinal displacements of juvenile wheatears, hatched in northeastern Siberia, on their first autumn migration towards the wintering area in East Africa. Orient
Lagen (1988:688) om kontaktförbud har varit föremål för ökad medial uppmärksamhet under senare tid. Bland annat har nyhetstidningar rapporterat om våldshändelser med dödlig utgång, som ofta avser en kvinna som fallit offer för en närstående mans våldsutövning, där det i grunden har funnits ett beviljat (eller obeviljat) kontaktförbud. En hel del kritik har riktats mot lagen, främst från representaThe contact prohibition act (1988:688), or restraining order (RO), has received increased attention in the media lately. Newspapers have occasionally reported incidents with deadly violence, usually concerning a female victim to violence performed by a male who is in close relationship to the victim (intimate partner violence, IPV), where there existed a granted (or not granted) RO. The regulation
I arbetet har en rättsdogmatisk metod använts i kombination med rättshistoriska och kriminalrättsliga perspektiv för att undersöka vilken självbestämmanderätt individen har i förhållande till sin egen död. Rättsläget i Nederländerna har studerats, men fokus har legat på att svensk rätt och att utreda vad som är tillåtet och otillåtet rörande dödshjälp i Sverige. Rätten till liv stadgas i artikel 2This thesis contains an examination of the individuals’ right to self-determination in relation to their own death. The approach has been a traditional judicial method, with additions of historical perspectives as well as principles of criminal law. The situation in the Netherlands has been examined, but Swedish law will be described more in detail concerning what is permitted and what is prohibit
Over the last two decades Sweden became one of the European countries with the highest levels of immigration. About the same time the country experienced a substantial boom in house prices. Since many analysts view a housing shortage as the main driver for the increase in prices it seems natural to ask if immigration has the potential to accelerate prices in the housing market. This paper analyses
Present master thesis investigates the role of 4 chosen place-based educational initiatives in Austria which are actively engaged in local short food supply chains (SFSCs). Those supply chains are defined by close geographical and social relations between supply chain actors and a limited number of intermediaries. It aims to scrutinize to what extend such initiatives (can) foster consumer-producer
Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques
In Sweden, a prevalent topic of discussion revolves around the challenges faced by immigrants when attempting to integrate into the Swedish labor market. The aim of this study was therefore to examine obstacles and opportunities that individuals with a foreign background face and how their actual identity is affected by the establishment and making a career. Employing a qualitative approach with a
De samhälleliga förhållandena för personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning har under det senaste seklet utvecklats dramatiskt. Det förhållningssätt som under tidigare delen av 1900-talet ledde till institutionalisering och sterilisering har numera ersatts av ett förhållningssätt som i större utsträckning utgår från humanitet och ett bejakande av mänskliga rättigheter. Det moderna synsättet The societal conditions for individuals with intellectual disabilities have evolved dramatically over the past century. The approach that during the earlier parts of the 20th century led to practices such as institutionalization and sterilization has by now been replaced by an approach that to a higher extent is based upon the affirmation of basic human rights. This shift in approach has resulted
When The Swedish Democrats entered The Swedish parliament in 2010 they were met with both political and policy isolation from the established political parties including the Moderates, the largest mainstream right wing party. However, after the general election of 2022 The Swedish Democrats were invited to become a junior coalition partner following the trend of other European countries of mainstr
Den svenska medgärningsläran, hur situationer där personer än en ska ses som gärningsmän, inte reglerad i lag utan är av lagstiftaren överlämnat till rättstillämparen. I gärningsbeskrivningar uttrycks medgärningsmannaskap som att de tilltalade har agerat ”tillsammans och i samförstånd”. Medgär-ningsläran har kritiserats från ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Kritiken har rört frågor som det svaga och The Swedish doctrine of co-perpetratorship, which explains when perpetrators should be considered to commit crime together, is not regulated in law but have by the legislator been delegated to the courts. In statements of the criminal act charged, co-perpetratorship is expressed as the defendants have acted “together and in concert”. The doctrine has been criticized from a perspective of the rule
I takt med att artificiell intelligens (AI) får en allt större roll inom offentlig förvaltning och rättsväsende väcks frågor om hur teknikens användning för-håller sig till grundläggande rättssäkerhetsprinciper. Denna uppsats granskar hur domstolars och myndigheters motiveringsskyldighet enligt artikel 6 i Europakonventionen påverkas när generativ AI används som stöd vid besluts-fattande i civilräAs artificial intelligence (AI) assumes an increasingly significant role in public administration and the judiciary, questions arise regarding how its use aligns with fundamental principles of legal certainty and the rule of law. This thesis examines how courts’ and public authorities’ duty to provide reasoned deci-sions under Article 6 of the European Convention is affected when generative AI is

This case study of the effectiveness of the usage of Japanese role language uses character portrayals from performances by the theatre company Takarazuka Revue to investigate how native Japanese speakers perceive characters solely based upon lexical or grammatical cues in spoken language. With a foundation in Satoshi Kinsui’s description of role language and Christopher Vogler’s character archetyp
This research paper explores the nature of the mean and volatility spillovers from the US and aggregate GIIPS to the largest GDP countries for the EMU and non-EMU countries. I develop a three step univariate volatility spillover model followed by Christiansen (2007) and Ng (2000) to analyze the relevance of local (own country), regional (aggregate GIIPS) and global (US) shocks. Empirical evidence
