In this thesis I have investigated pauses in writing in word-internal contexts and clause boundaries. I have been looking at the differences between 15-year-olds and adults with dyslexia and been focusing on how many pauses and how much pause time they have in these contexts. People with dyslexia have difficulties coding words, which mean that they are bad spellers and readers. Normally we automat

Syfte: Det som uppsatsen vill klarlägga är hur företag sätter sina diskonteringsräntor, om det finns korrelation mellan bolagens verkliga resultat och/eller goodwillpostens relativa storlek och om detta beror på opportunistiskt tänkande i bestämmandet av denna ganska väsentliga parameter. Metod: Med syftet som utgångspunkt har en kvantitativ metod valts. Data har samlats in från främst företagensPurpose: The paper sets out to research how companies determine their discount rate, if there’s correlation between companies’ profitability and/or the goodwill relative size and if it therefore can be established if there’s an opportunistic way of thinking when choosing the discount rate. Methodology: With the purpose as a starting point, a quantitative method has been chosen. Data has been gat
Kvicksilver, Hg, är ett farligt grundämne i miljön då Hg är ett flyktigt ämne. Hg blir farligt för oss människor om det ansamlas i kroppen i form av metylkvicksilver och kan orsaka skador på nervsystemet, njurar och fortplantningsorgan mm. Kvicksilver förs in i vår närmsta livsmiljö i allt större omfattning genom industriprocesser; vanligast är då förbränning av kol och användning i lampor, vulkanMercury is a a heavy metal and its presence in our environment constitutes an health-hazard for example in the form of methyl-mercury. Therefore, it is important to construct sensors to detect this pollutant. Research is also being performed on developing optical sensors and mercury can be detected through a range of methods, from point monitoring using Zeeman absorption to 3-D scanning of the atm
The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how the Swedish model for production and distribution of talking books to the print disabled can be designed in the future, on the basis of the self-expressed needs of the users. Three questions were formulated in order to achieve this aim: 1. What needs do the users, according to themselves, have in relation to talking books to achieve equal means of
A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl
The global pandemic COVID-19 made it impossible for psychodynamic psychotherapists to continue with in-person psychotherapy and they had to transform their work to the digital platform. There is a research gap regarding psychodynamic psychotherapists experiences of video-delivered psychotherapy which is emergent to investigate since previous research has shown that the therapeutic relationship suf
The importance of structural demands is usually overlooked in the conceptual design phase. Architects commonly conceive the geometry of a structure without much involvement of an engineer or with regards to structural demands. This is in part because a lack of tools available to engineers in this phase. The common paradigm for structural analysis software interface badly with the iterative and cha

Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved
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
AB Ph. Nederman manufactures capture at source extractors that remove dust and fumes from a specific area. These extractors are made of a positioning joint which has the purpose to hold up the extractors’ hood. Presently this joint is made of a double ball joint; this doesn’t however work in a satisfying way. First and foremost it is hard to move the joint when repositioning the hood; this is not
Abstract The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the underlying factors of a youth’s attraction to criminal youth gangs. We have chosen a qualitative approach. The primary sources for our study were interviews with seven people. These interviews were semi structured in their approach. We have used the labeling theory in order to describe and analyze the phenomenon. The result clearly

The critical discourse analysis demonstrates that when we say something, we do something as well. By using the critical discourse analysis on the office of the Chancellor of Justice investigation against Roma, this paper shows how the communicative event affects Roma’s social practice in the EU-countries.

Considering the present environmental degradations, Bangladesh is one of the most affected and vulnerable countries in the world. In particular, its coastal areas are prone to frequent environmental changes. More people are now displaced by climate change than by war (Mehreb 2006: 27). Environmental vulnerabilities have already contributed to large permanent migrations each and every year, almost
Ökande oljepriser och en stigande efterfrågan gör idag undersökningar av alternativa petroleumreservoarer extra intressanta. Istället för att borra i den sedimentära berggrunden ges nu möjligheten att granska kristallina berggrundsreservoarer. Den här typen av borrning i kristallin berggrund äger rum på flera platser i världen, exempelvis i Vietnam och Yemen. Det norska företaget Lundin Norway AS Rising oil prices and an increasing global use of fossil fuels make the survey of alternative petroleum reservoirs of great importance. Instead of drilling in regular sedimentary successions, the possibility of investigating reservoirs in crystalline basement is in many places of economic interest. Reservoirs in crystalline basement rock are producing oil in several countries e.g. Vietnam and Yeme
Efterfrågan på sockerrör har de senaste åren ökat i takt med att fler länder strävar efter att minska sitt beroende av fossila bränslen. Som en följd har antalet sockerrörsodlingar kraftigt ökat i Brasilien vilket medfört en oro inför vilka effekter denna omvandling av ursprunglig mark till sockerrörsodling har på lokala hydrologin och klimatet. I det här arbetet har påverkan av sockerrörs expanThe demand for sugarcane has increased in recent years as more countries desire to reduce its dependence of fossil fuels. Therefore, the number of sugarcane plantations has rapidly increased in Brazil which raises concerns for what effect these conversion of original land to sugarcane plantations have on local hydrology and climate. In this thesis, the effects of sugarcane expansion on surface ru
