Language Processing and Contextual Influence A Study of Swedish Preschool Children with Language Impairment The aim of the present work was to study different types of contextual influence on language performance in a variety of tasks: repetition of nonwords, narration, understanding of idioms and picture naming in a group of Swedish preschool children with language impairment (LI). The stress p

There is a strong relationship between regional sediment transport and the local processes at tidal inlets and around coastal structures. Many coastal projects require quantitative understanding of these processes and the interactions between them. Regional sediment transport and shoreline evolution models that fully include important coastal processes at local scale are lacking at present. The ov

In this report, the technical and economical feasibility to produce higher alkanes from bio-glycerol has been investigated. The main purpose of producing this kind of chemicals would be to replace the fossil LPG used in upgraded biogas production. When producing biogas and exporting it to the natural gas grid, the Wobbe index and heating value does not match the existing natural gas. Therefore, th

The intestinal mucosa presents a huge surface area to the external environment and the intestinal immune system is continually exposed to a wide array of foreign antigens derived from resident intestinal microbiota as well as dietary constituents, including food proteins. In order to maintain intestinal homeostasis, the intestinal immune system relies on the ability to generate tolerogenic respons

Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste ca trettio åren har man observerat en kraftig ökning av löst organiskt kol i sjöar, vattendrag och kustnära vatten i olika delar av det norra halvklotet, bl.a. i delar av Nordamerika, Storbritannien, Baltikum, centrala Europa och Skandinavien. I Sverige har ökningen främst varit koncentrerad till de södra delarna av landet. Löst organiskt kol i sjöar belägna During the past three decades, increases have been observed in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and colour in the surface waters of lakes and rivers in parts of Europe and North America, raising concern about the effects on the quality of aquatic environments with consequences for biodiversity, resource availability and recreational use. Various hypotheses have been put forward to exp

Popular Abstract in English Improving irrigation practices and optimal exploitation of available water resources are vital issues facing water scarcity and similar problems in arid and semiarid countries (e.g., Egypt and Tunisia). In these countries, the use of saline and low quality irrigation water (i.e., brackish irrigation water) is often associated by soil salinization risk and soil degradatiModern irrigation techniques are becoming increasingly important in water-scarce countries especially in arid and semiarid regions. Higher crop production and better water use efficiency are usually achieved by drip irrigation as compared to other irrigation methods. Furthermore, by using drip irrigation simultaneously with brackish irrigation water, some of the water stress due to shortage of fre

Den elektroniska handelns internationella karaktär innebär att en väldigt stor andel av e-handelsföretagen påverkas av de internationella skattereglerna. De regler som tidigare varit vägledande har dock inte varit lämpliga att applicera på den globala e-handeln och andra transaktioner på Internet, utan en anpassning till den nya ekonomin har varit påkallad. Som vid all beskattning krävs att regler

Vem bygger vi för? är den övergripande frågan i denna licentiatuppsats. Uppsatsensyftar till att belysa och problematisera hur människor inkluderas eller exkluderas iden byggda miljön, till följd av om, och hur mänsklig mångfald ges uttryck ochplats i plan och byggprocessen. Den bygger på två delstudier som behandlar hur detänkta användarna av den byggda miljön kategoriseras i planhandlingar ochstWho are we building for? This is the overarching question in this licentiate thesis.The thesis aims to shed light on and problematise how people are included orexcluded in the built environment due to if, and how human diversity is expressedand visible in the plan and construction process. It is based on two studies that dealwith how the intended users of the built environment are categorised in p

For me, life in this city begins and ends with artist-initiated networks, where energies and programmes are constantly opening and ending, keeping pace with the rate at which artist’s studios are closed and relocated. These networks establish where work is developed, shown, or both, and they affirm what is missing as much as what is made. The affective affinities that enable these associations als

Diatoms, the prominent photosynthetic eucaryotes, have inhabited the world’s oceans for at least the past 120 Ma since their first appearance in the Lower Cretaceous. There are also records of older diatoms, from the Jurassic dating to ca. 172 Ma and ca. 165 Ma, however these are poorly documented. The predicted origin time of diatoms using evolutionary relationships (molecular phylogenetics) yiel

Popular Abstract in SwedishBarnets andra levnadsår präglas till stor del av en enorm utveckling av språkliga färdigheter. Omkring ettårsåldern börjar de flesta barn säga sina första ord. Det produktiva ordförrådet (de ord barnet kan säga) växer till en början ganska långsamt, men inlärningstakten ökar successivt. Mellan 1 ½ och 2 år genomgår många barn något som brukar kallas för ”ordförrådsspurt”This dissertation investigated electrophysiological measures of individual differences in toddlers’ ability to learn novel object labels and process familiar object words and their referents. The studies measured both visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to pictures of objects and words in a longitudinal sample of 20- to 24-month-olds, an age of dynamic vocabulary develo

Syftet med examensarbetet är att ta reda på hur delning av lokaler fungerar idag och undersöka potential samt de utmaningar som föreligger för att kunna etablera delningsekonomi inom fastighetsbranschen. Studien har främst fokuserat på det befintliga fastighetsbeståndet i Sverige. Syftet uppnås genom att besvara följande två frågor: 1. Hur används delningsekonomi inom fastighetsbranschen idag? 2.The aim of this thesis was to research the current status of shared space use. Furthermore, this thesis also aimed to investigate the potential and challenges related to sharing economy in the real estate sector. The thesis focused mainly on existing buildings in Sweden. The aim was to answer the following two research questions: 1. How is sharing economy used in the real estate industry? 2. What

Black carbon is an ever-growing global problem and one of the most important environmental issues of this generation. Black carbon, also known as soot, is a highly polluting substance and it is the second-largest polluter after carbon dioxide. BC consists of pure carbon in various forms and is produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. It is transported by air mo

The IPCC states that the planet is significantly warming due to effects of climate change. This warming effect has consequences for phenological events. Many species cannot track rapid climate change, resulting in phenological mismatches. This study looks at an extreme weather event and the longer-term effects of climate change. According to the IPCC, extreme weather is linked to climate change. T

Norge behöver utöka sin elproduktion för att möta ett framtida ökat elbehov. Vattenkraften i Norge uppskattas endast ha 23 TWh kapacitet kvar att bygga ut och vindkraft har mött starkt motstånd på senare tid. Solkraft finns fortfarande bara på liten skala i landet men uppskattas öka kraftigt i närtid. Solkraft installeras hela tiden längre norrut men än finns ingen storskalig solkraft i norra NorgNorway needs to increase its power production to meet the future increase in electricity use. Hydro power is estimated to only have 23 TWh of additional available capacity and wind power has met strong resistance lately. Solar power is still only implemented on small scale in Norway but is predicted to increase rapidly in the near future. It is steadily being implemented further north, however the

Klimatförändringarna förväntas påverka skogar i de tempererade och boreala zonerna och leda till omfattande förändringar i ekosystemens struktur och funktion. Därför behövs analyser av sannolika utfall av olika scenarier av ökad klimatpåverkan på lång sikt, för att förbättra kunskapsunderlaget och stödja beslutsfattande inom skogssektorn. För skogsägare innebär klimatförändringarna ett behov att öClimate change is expected to affect temperate and boreal forests, potentially causing profound changes to the functioning and the structure of ecosystems. This calls for assessments of the plausible long-term outcomes of a range of climate change scenarios to increase the knowledge base for decision making in forestry. Forest owners need to consider whether current silvicultural management practi
