This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an onlin

Coherent lensless X-ray imaging techniques provide very high-resolution images not limited by optical components. These techniques record diffraction patterns that can be used for retrieving the phase information of the X-rays passing through a sample. To perform high-resolution imaging with coherent imaging techniques, highly coherent X-rays from high brilliance sources, where high-intensity X-ra

Ever since the nation-state has existed identity has been a big deal, it is told that identity is a tool needed to be able to receive consensus from the people concerned on a certain matter. As the European Union is continuously shaped and reshaped due to changing geographical borders, as a consequence of new member-states the aim to integrate the Union equally across its surface has not been an e

During the last 10 years there has been a constantly increasing demand for micro products and components. The market demand smaller, more functional and better products. The main industries that trigger this demand are the electro-mechanical products. Problem with manufacturing these micro components has occurred with use of conventionally machines. Micro products often demands special working env

Can human rights education be used to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in the education system of developing countries? Can this be a way to advance child rights not only at school but also in the rest of the community? How could human rights training be used to implement the CRC's holistic approach at the global and domestic levels? These are just some of the question

Software development project still of high failure rates. A diversity of risk management approaches are suggested by researchers and followed by organizations in order to minimize the failure rate and ensure project success. However, does risk management do always what it is supposed to do? In this research, we survey field workers and interview project managers, to investigate the influence of ri

Lagen om hemlig dataavläsning trädde i kraft den 1 april 2020. Lagen innebär att brottsbekämpande myndigheter, utöver säkerhetspolisen, kan få tillgång till innehållet i den enskildes mobiltelefon och dator. Särskilt vid tvångsmedelslagstiftning är det viktigt att lagstiftaren förhåller sig till de rättsliga principer och begrepp som gäller på ett korrekt vis. Denna uppsats ämnar att kritiskt graThe Secret data interception law was implemented on 1 of April, 2020. The law allows law enforcement authorities, not just the security police, to gain access to information from an individuals' mobile phone and computer. In the case of coercive measures legislation, it is important that the legislator relates to the corresponding legal principles and concepts in a correct way. This essay in

Uppsatsen behandlar gällande rätt vad avser flyttningsförbud i 24 § lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmer om vård av unga, LVU. Flyttningsförbud är ett förbud för vårdnadshavarna att flytta hem sitt barn från ett familjehem. Det är en väldigt ingripande åtgärd i både barnens och föräldrarnas liv. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda gällande rätt beträffande när ett beslut om flyttningsförbud för baThis essay discusses the current law of the 24 § of the law (1990:52) with special regulation regarding the care of young people (LVU), prohibition to move a child from their family home. The prohibition bans parents from moving their child back to their home from a family home. It´s a strong interference in the life of the parents and the child. The purpose of the essay is to investigate the curr

Non-Gaussian stochastic fields are introduced by means of integrals with respect to independently scattered stochastic measures distributed according to generalized Laplace laws. In particular, we discuss stationary second order random fields that, as opposed to their Gaussian counterpart, have a possibility of accounting for asymmetry and heavier tails. Additionally to this greater flexibility th

Contamination of soil and water by heavy metal ions (HMs) is a problem all over the world.The use of biological methods alone or in combination with other techniques for treatment of such polluted sites constitutes a major challenge. The present thesis summarizes work based on four basic technologies: 1) use of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRBs) for production of hydrogen sulphide which is used to

Views and proposals on housing improvement and social participation in Latin America have gone through changes in the last decades. These changes are noteworthy. In general, the population living in settlements scheduled to be upgraded, and the people target for participatory action, did not have much say in policy making. Housing improvement and social participation issues are linked to the Law o

Our existing urban environment has a significant potential to increase the use of renewable energy, mainly by using solar irradiation for heat and electricity. Quantification of the solar potential by means of a solar map is the first step in the acceleration process for using more solar energy in our urban environments. A solar map is a GIS system providing the annual solar irradiation on buildin

Popular Abstract in English My PhD thesis has focused on increasing the understanding of the osteoclasts, the cells responsible for degradation of bone, by studying the rare hereditary disease autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO). ARO is present already at birth and is caused by mutations affecting the osteoclasts ability to degrade bone. Non-functional osteoclasts lead to dramatic increases inThis thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed

Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th

This report is a result of a Master Thesis in Mechanical Engineering with Product Development at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The Master Thesis was performed during the spring of 2012 at Frankly Development in Malmö. Frankly is Product Creation Company with great knowledge in developing consumer electronics, sports equipment and other type of products. The thesis was initiated by C

This master thesis was conducted at Volvo Car Corporation, VCC, in Gothenburg within the Manufacturing Engineering department. It is based on the P11-project (the new model S40) where the process verification has been examined and analyzed. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the reasons behind remaining and new problems at late stages in the development process, as well as possibilities f

Our main purpose with this study is to examine and elucidate the recovery process that occurs when women choose to break up from destructive relationships. Our aim is also to clarify what, by the women themselves, is considered to be efficient help in relation to what in fact is offered in actuality. The idea of this selection was that we, in the study of the recovery process, would make a compili

Globalization has since the 90s played a big part in the way companies look at their business and strategic developments. Acting on a global scale introduces a new complexity when it comes to running a business successfully. Alfa Laval being a global player within their product segments, experiences this complexity with production facilities as well as employees spread around the globe combined wi
