Articles pose a particular challenge to second-language learners whose first language does not have them. Variability in article production in these learners is often explained in terms of first-language influence, but there are also suggestions that frequency-biased regularities in the target language itself might play a role. While most second-language research on articles has focused on English

This essay tries to explore the dynamics of sisterhood as an important narrative aspect in Dodie Smith´s I Capture the Castle (1949) and Rachel Ferguson´s The Brontës Went to Woolworths (1931). Sisters mirror each other both within and outside the family. They can serve as convenient character types with distinct capabilities, strengths or weaknesses, while the family setting makes for excellent p

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker en direkt aktion mot brännvinsbrännerier som genomfördes i Karlshamn, november 1853. Den arbetande befolkningen i staden var vid denna tid mycket upprörda över det faktum att de lokala brännvinsbrännerierna fick fortsätta att köpa upp och bränna spannmål och potatis, trots den ständigt ökande bristen på livsmedel. Genom att tillämpa den brittiske historiken E.P. ThThis thesis aims to investigate a case of worker’s direct action against distilleries of hard liquor (brännvin) in the southern Swedish town of Karlshamn, November 1853. Many people were angry because the distilleries were allowed to keep on distilling grains and potatoes despite the constantly increasing shortage of basic foodstuffs. By applying English historian E.P. Thompson’s theory of “the mo

Darfurkonflikten är en av de mest våldsamma och brutala konflikter som har präglat 2000-talet. Vad som har orsakat konflikten är en fråga som har delat den akademiska världen i två tydliga läger, ett som argumenterar för att klimatförändringarna är den primära orsaken till konflikten. Medan andra hävdar att politiska beslut ligger bakom det hatt och splittringar som har präglat konflikten. SamtidiThe Darfur conflict is one of the most violent and brutal conflicts during the 21st century. There is still an ongoing debate over the cause of the conflict that has split the academic world in primarily two different camps. One that argues that climate change is the primary cause of the conflict, and another that argues that political decisions are the main factor for the conflict. At the same ti

“What discrepancies arise from the incompatible definitions of intangibles for transfer pricing purposes according to the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines 2017 and the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and what are the risks?” The thesis analyses the discrepancies of the different definitions of intangibles in a transfer pricing context, between the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines 2017 and the U.S. ta

Lag om anställningsskyddslag är den lag som skyddar arbetstagare vid uppsägningar och avskedanden. Denna svenska lagstiftning finner vi i LAS som är från år 1974 men kom sedan att ändras år 1982. I 7 § andra stycket LAS stadgas omplaceringsreglerna som reglerar arbetsgivarens skyldighet att försöka bereda annat arbete hos sig. Uppsägningen från arbetsgivaren ska vara sakligt grundad. Innan arbetsgThe Employment Protection Act, LAS, is the law that protects workers in the event of dismissal and termination. This Swedish legislation can be found in LAS which is from 1974 but changed in 1982. Section 7, second paragraph in LAS, stipulates the relocation rules that regulate the employer's obligation to try to prepare other work with him. The dismissal from the employer must be objective gr

The aim of this thesis is to investigate which the main determinants of capital structure in Swedish listed firms are and to identify which incentives lies behind managers choice of capital structure determinants. Further, the study investigates whether the Post Keynesian theory and theories which incorporate behavioral aspects can be used to explain the capital structure decisions or if the tradi

In this paper I discuss the compatibility of externalism about epistemic justification with the well-known KK-thesis in epistemic logic. A weaker form of the KK-thesis (if one knows, one is also in a position to know that one knows) is first defended against Williamson's anti-luminosity arguments. Given some base assumptions about the nature of human beings and states of knowing, it is argued

The acceptable noise level (ANL) test is used to quantify the amount of competing background noise (BNL) that a listener is willing to accept when listening to speech at the most comfortable level (MCL). ANL is calculated by subtracting the BNL from the MCL. Most studies show large intersubject ANL variability and a few also demonstrate large intrasubject variability. Very few predictor variables

This bachelor’s thesis aims to analyze and compare how two contemporary theologians, Roger Haight, S.J. and Ted Peters, understand the genesis of the faith in Jesus’ resurrection and its significance for the Christian understanding of Jesus from Nazareth. In order to fulfill this aim, I have mainly studied Jesus: Symbol of God and Ted Peters’ God – The World’s Future. From this inquiry, I firstly

The purpose of this study was to analyze selected passages of the short story The South Wind by the Iraqi writer Abd el-Malik Nuri, which was done in order to find out how the description of characters, setting, and events, are related to class. The main research questions dealt with how the use of word choice and imagery are used in connection to the setting and characterization, but also how the

In the following Master’s thesis I examine two central concepts in the development of the Latin-American novel of the 20th century: the Marvelous Real (lo real maravilloso) and the American Baroque (lo barroco americano), both developed by the Cuban author Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980). In the study, following some biographical considerations, two original texts by Carpentier are presented; the fir

Kapitlet handlar om beklagliga dikotomier i rättssociologisk teori, som till exempel dikotomin rätt/samhälle. Upprätthållandet av sådana dikotomier hämmar rättssociologisk teoriutveckling. Kapitlet tar sin utgångspunkt i en debatt som initierades 1998 av Reza Banakar och som handlade om vad Banakar ansåg vara den rättssociologiska teorins underutvecklade tillstånd, eller rättssociologins identitet

The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of
