This experimental study investigates how individual variation in cognitive functioning, specifically working memory, previous experience with language learning but also language background, influence language aptitude, in particular grammatical inferencing - the capacity to spot patterns in grammar - as measured by the LLAMA_F test. Firstly, the study explores individual factors hypothesised to in
Personlig varumärkning är ett koncept som innebär att varumärken och dess image till stor del identifieras med en person. Personliga varumärken kommer med stora fördelar, exempelvis att en djupare relation etableras mellan organisation och konsument, vilket kan vara svårt att uppnå för en mer opersonlig organisation. Däremot kommer det även med större risker, som att organisationen och personen ba
This study investigates whether event construal of placement events varies between Mandarin Chinese and German speakers by comparing how native speakers of the respective languages speak and gesture about placement events. It has been argued that there are universal constraints on how languages encode placement events. However, languages arguably differ in their semantic divisions of placement eve
Through discourse analysis I investigate how the Swedish liberal party, Folkpartiet, constructs two opposing identities in their discourse of alienation (in Swedish utanförskap). I draw from Torben Bech Dyrbergs theory on how identities are constructed through the logics of difference and equivalence (1997). Laclau and Mouffe are the main inspirations for analyzing the organization of the discours

Syftet med foreliggande undersökning var att göra en utvärdering av en preliminär version av ett grammatiskt test som bygger på processabilitetsteorin (Pienemann, 1998) for att se hur väl det fungerar och for att ge forslag till eventuella omarbetningar infor det fortsatta arbetet med testet. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka humvida processabilitetsteorins utvecklingsnivåer går att tillämpa
Local knowledge in vulnerable communities can be vital when developing adaptation and mitigation strategies especially as issues such as sea level rise in Falsterbo become more prominent as global warming increases. At present, traditional local knowledge is often explored within indigenous communities but significantly less so in western communities. The importance of local knowledge, in regards
Popular Abstract in Swedish Behandlingsideologier och arbetsmodeller avlöser varandra snabbt i dagens samhälle. Att hänga med i det nya och samtidigt försvara det arbete som man gör eller tidigare gjort är en problematik som allt fler ställs inför. I spelet mellan olika inriktningar byggs det upp en argumentation. I denna avhandling analyseras hur anställda vid en psykiatrisk vårdinstitution, specTreatment ideologies and working models replace each other quickly in today's society. During the 1980s a dramatic dismantling of the psychiatric institutions occurred. The health care system was supposed to be transferred to non-institutional care. This was, however, not possible for all groups of patients. At an institution, specialized in so called demanding patients and patients who received c
The effects of chylomicron-prothrombin complexes on platelet activation, including platelet aggregation, serotonin release, arachidonic acid release and increases of platelet cytosolic [Ca2+]i were examined. Furthermore the role of platelet factor Xa on the conversion of chylomicron bound prothrombin to thrombin was studied by using a synthetic inhibitor of factor Xa, TenStop. The chylomicron-prot
Today, in vitro (Latin: in glass) meat researchers strive to overhaul meat production technologies by producing meat outside animal bodies, primarily by culturing cells. In the process, meat should become healthier, more environmentally friendly and kinder to animals. In this article, I scrutinize (and problematize) this promissory discourse by examining the world that proponents envision alongsid
In many financial applications, it is important to classify time-series data without any latency while maintaining persistence in the identified states. The authors propose a greedy online classifier that contemporaneously determines which hidden state a new observation belongs to without the need to parse historical observations and without compromising persistence. Their classifier is based on t
