The aim of this dissertation is to study how narratorial commentary is implemented in six of George Eliot's novels ? Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Felix Holt, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda ? as a process for shaping the reader's responses to these texts. Focusing on the ways in which narratorial commentary steers the dynamic relationship between narrator and reader, this investi
Wireline communication is the Internet access technology with the largest number of subscribers worldwide. On physical-layer level, the traditional way to transmit signals at one end of a wire pair and to extract receive signals at the other end is to apply differential-mode signalling: transmit and receive signals correspond to voltage differences between the two wires. Differential-mode signalli
Decadal-scale variations in total organic carbon (TOC) concentration in lake water since AD1200 in two small lakes in southern Sweden were reconstructed based on visible-near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS) of their recent sediment successions. In order to assess the impacts of local land-use changes, regional variations in sulfur, and nitrogen deposition and climate variations on the inferred chang
Popular Abstract in Swedish Möjligheten att använda tillförlitlighetsteori som ett verktyg för utvärdering av säkerhet och återstående livslängd av skadade konstruktioner har undersökts. Det framkommer att tillgängliga riktlinjer och stödjande dokument är öppna för tolkningar och detta leder till resultat med oacceptabla skillnader. Tolkningar förkommer även vid deterministiska beräkningar men tilA feasibility study of reliability theory as a tool for the assessment of present safety and residual service life of damaged concrete structures has been performed in order to find a transparent methodology for the assessment procedure. It is concluded that the current guidelines are open to interpretation and that the variation in the results obtained regarding the structural safety is too grea
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is a medical procedure effective in the treatment of several different T-cell mediated diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and Graft-versus-Host Disease. During ECP treatment the patient's blood is processed by means of a cell separator to collect leukocytes (leukapheresis), mostly lymphocytes and monocytes, which are then incubated with the photoactiv
The function of a paper machine is to form the paper sheet and remove the water from the sheet. A modern paper machine is divided into three main parts, the wire section, the press section, and the dryer section. Although the dryer section is only responsible for removing less than 1% of the water volume in the original stock to the head box, this is the part of the paper machine that, by far, con
The propositions in this chapter are to a large extent drawn from the thesis Metaphors and norms – understanding copyright law in a digital society (Larsson 2011b), however with some important complements, not least concerning the implications of categorisation. The chapter is explorative in bringing findings from cognitive linguistics into the quite common socio-legal task of studying norms. Its
Popular Abstract in Swedish Specifik språkstörning är ett tillstånd som kännetecknas av en avvikande tal- och språkstörning hos ett i övrigt friskt och normalutvecklat barn. Tillståndet beror således inte på en allmänt försenad utveckling, hörselnedsättning, uppenbar neurologisk eller psykisk sjukdom. Ofta har flera familjemedlemmar varit sena i sin tal- och språkutveckling eller har läs- och skriSpecific language impairment (SLI) is commonly described as a condition where a child with otherwise normal development and hearing does not acquire language as expected. Children with SLI often have a family history of language disorders. The aetiology is poorly understood. In the first two studies, event-related brain potentials(ERPs)evoked in response to tone- and to speech stimuli were record
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker adelns slottsbyggande i Skåne under en tid då det svenska samhället genomgick omfattande förändringar. Mellan 1840 och 1900 byggde den skånska adeln i en omfattning som det inte finns historisk motsvarighet till. Slotten moderniserades med historiska förtecken och har ansetts vara ett sätt att kompensera för en förlorad maktposition och befäs
INTRODUCTION: Branched iliac stent-grafts (bSG) have recently been developed in order to preserve internal iliac artery (IIA) flow in patients with aneurysmal or short common iliac arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate a single-center experience with bSG for the IIA. METHODS: Twenty-two male patients (70 (IQR 65-79) years old) underwent EVAR with 23 bSG (1 bilateral repair) between Septem
OBJECTIVES: Many hairdressers experience work-related symptoms from the airways caused by bleaching powder. This contains persulphates, which could be irritating to the mucous membrane and also may evoke an allergic reaction. However, specific IgE antibodies are difficult to detect. We found earlier that hairdressers with work-related bleaching powder-associated nasal symptoms reacted to persulpha
This master thesis is aimed at developing a docking station for Axis communications’ camera V5915. The docking station in this master thesis will only reach a proof of concept level. Axis communications wanted to try to make an accessory which would make a camera wireless in the means of both power and communications. Studies on batteries were conducted early on in the project to understand the This article describes the master thesis work performed at LTH and concerns the process of designing and building a prototype that makes an Axis Communications stationary camera completely wireless. This will be achieved by incorporating a Wi-Fi and a suitable battery into a chassis design. The data transfer rates of wireless communication has only recently reached high enough levels to support h
Denna rapport redogör för design och utveckling av ett medicintekniskt instrument för diagnos av kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) eller emfysem. Arbetet utgår ifrån en ny diagnosmetod och ett instrument i form av en funktionell prototyp som används för att testa den nya diagnosmetoden. Med utgångspunkt i den funktionella prototypen har arbetet fokuserats kring att förstå vilka problem och utmThis thesis presents design and development of a medical device for diagnosis of emphysema or COPD by controlled lung deposition of nanoparticles. After purging the lungs with particle free air the subject inhales a controlled aerosol mixture and holds his breath for a determined period of time, before exhaling. The degree of lung disease is calculated by measuring and comparing the concentration
Environments with a high number of systems that are dependent on each other create complexity in the testing of each system. For a test to perform correctly, every dependency has to be fully functional. If this condition is not met, the test will fail and measures need to be taken into the systems that are causing the problem before it can be repeated again. This is a problem that the test departm
After a brief introduction to the current general milk industry, the emergence of oat milk is presented, as well as shifting trends in milk consumption. This study aims to analyze oat milk precisely. The analysis is done in terms of packaging. Therefore, oat milk packaging and all the packaging elements were analyzed. After a literature review of Consumer Perception, Consumer Motivation, Consume
I dagens samhälle är en stor del av industrin beroende av kemiska reaktioner. Hastigheter för kemiska reaktioner kan påskyndas med hjälp av katalysatorer. Heterogena katalysatorer, alltså katalysatorer av fast karaktär, består av ett bärarmaterial på vilket det aktiva katalyserande ämnet är applicerat. På företaget Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB används pulver som katalysatorbärare till Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,
Regeringen lade under hösten 2020 fram ett förslag om att utöka tillämpningsområdet för hemliga tvångsmedel genom att införa en straffvärdeventil som tar sikte på flerfaldig brottslighet. Förslaget motiveras mot bakgrund av att de brottsutredande myndigheterna är i behov av effektiva utredningsåtgärder för att kunna utreda mindre allvarliga brott som sker på ett systematiskt sätt. Införandet av enDuring the autumn of 2020 the Swedish government presented a proposal to extend the area of application for the use of secret coercive measures through the introduction of a ‘penal value valve’ that targets multiple crimes. The proposal is justified by the law enforcement authorities need for effective measures of investigation in order to investigate crimes of minor severity committed in a system
Sverige skakades i början av år 2020 av nyheten att en treårig flicka hade hittats avliden i sitt hem. Flickan hade knappt ett år tidigare återförenats med sin familj efter att ha varit placerad i familjehem för vård enligt LVU sedan strax efter födseln. Samtidigt hade barnkonventionen precis blivit svensk lag. Flickans öde har lett till statliga utredningar för att ta reda på hur principen om barSweden was at the beginning of 2020 shaken by the news that a three-year-old girl had been found dead in her home. The girl had been reunited with her family a year earlier after being placed in a foster home for protective care shortly after birth. At the same time, the Convention on the Rights of the Child had just become law in Sweden. The child’s fate has led to government investigations to fi
