The purpose of this paper is to (a) establish whether meaning recall and meaning recognition item formats test psychometrically distinct constructs of vocabulary knowledge which measure separate skills, and, if so, (b) determine whether each construct possesses unique properties predictive of L2 reading proficiency. Factor analyses and hierarchical regression were conducted on results derived from

INTRODUCTION: Treatment efficacy of reflex syncope is mainly related to the mechanism underlying syncope rather than its etiology or clinical presentation. The predominant mechanism underlying reflex syncope can be assigned to hypotensive or to bradycardic phenotypes.AREAS COVERED: Methodology and diagnostic criteria of the most useful tests for the identification of hypotensive and bradycardic ph

The subject of sibling violence is a blind spot in both social research and popular culture in Sweden, where we have conducted our empirical study. There is a normalizing discourse around sibling quarreling, with the act generally being seen as a natural part of children’s development. On the other hand, there is a problematizing discourse in an international context; violence perpetrated by and a

Developing an e-government in a state is a new thinking. One of the main priorities of the new European Commission is developing a strong interconnected e-government system inside the European Union. Beside of its cost-efficient benefits, e-government can play an important part in reducing corruption as well. As most of the countries in the world are fighting with corruption, e-government can be s

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan den bevisvärdering som sker då målsägandens utsaga är huvudbevisning i våldtäktsmål jämfört med rånmål samt att resonera kring problematiken kring en sådan eventuell diskrepans för våldtäktsoffer. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte görs en rättsfallsstudie för att analysera våldtäktsmålen och sedan jämföra bevisvärderingen med den i rThe purpose of this essay is to examine if there are differences between evaluation of evidence when the main evidence is the statement of the victim in cases of rape compared with cases of robbery (rån) and to discuss the problems with a possible discrepancy from the view of victims of rape. To fulfill the purpose a comparing legal case study is used in which the evaluation of evidence in cases o

As women are increasingly becoming a part of political life on par with men, their role in politics is charged with diverse beliefs and expectations from all segments of society (constituents, women’s groups, the media). On top of increasing female presence in legislatures, they are expected to represent female constituents’ concerns, be representative of femininity, break gender stereotypes, etc.

I svenska och norska tvistemål hanteras bevissituationen på väldigt skilda sätt. Svensk rätt använder bevisbörda medan norsk rätt använder överviktsprincipen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att urskilja och, utifrån ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv, kommentera skillnaderna metoderna emellan. Bevisbördan aktualiseras då parterna i en tvist kommer med var sitt konkurrerande påstående. Det blir då upp till domIn Swedish and Norwegian litigation cases, the evidence situation is handled in very different ways. Swedish law uses burden of proof while Norwegian law uses the overweight principle. The purpose of the thesis is to distinguish and, based on a perspective of legal certainty, comment on the differences between the methods. The burden of proof is brought to light when the parties in a dispute come

Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t

In this Master’s thesis we examine why public libraries, in different municipalities in the same city region, have chosen to make different decisions regarding the libraries accessibility during the covid-19 pandemic. These institutions are forced to show evidence of adaptability and competence to handle a situation of an unpredictable crisis with rapid turns and major consequences as a result. Th

Could geographic distance effect how we perceive commercials? Research within the confines of attitude change has found a connection between close and distant temporal distances and concrete and abstract thinking. The present study sought to expand this research to spatial distance and regulatory focus.131 students were recruited to an experiment with the purpose to investigate how spatial di

Vidare att analysera konfirmeringsbias roll för objektivitetsprincipen och åklagarens objektivitetsplikt under förundersökningen. Objektivitetsprincipen innebär ytterst att domstolar och myndigheter i sin verksamhet ska beakta allas likhet inför lagen samt iakThe purpose of this bachelor thesis has been to investigate the role of the prosecutor, with special focus on the principle of objectivity and confirmation bias. Furthermore, to analyze the role of confirmation bias for the prosecutor’s duty of objectivity during the preliminary investigation. The principle of objectivity ultimately means that courts and authorities in their activities must consid

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. It is beginning to appear in personal life, business sectors, society, and shows impacts on each these contexts. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how narrow AI could potentially affect the way we will organise. To fulfil this purpose, the Four Frames was used to collect and analyse recent publications for insights over

Data är en stor del av dagens samhälle och genom att analysera datan kan man se trender och få ut information. De flesta problem beror oftast på fler än två variabler då en korrelation mellan bara två variabler sällan beskriver hela sanningen. Data som består av mer än två variabler kallas för multivariat data. Men hur bör man gå tillväga om man vill visualisera sådan data och vilka verktyg bör maThere exists today vast accumulations of data that we don't always know what to do with. Qlik is a company that specializes in the visualization of data and specifically in being able to offer as many different types of charts as possible to their customers. Parallel coordinates is a chart that efficiently can visualize multivariate data and this master thesis is about developing such a chart

Syfte: Syftet är att identifiera likheter och skillnader för ekonomistyrningssystem mellan olika kulturella regioner. För att uppfylla syftet utformades två delmål: (1) Förklara identifierade skillnader och likheter med kultur som utgångspunkt, (2) Identifiera olika ideer om framtida forskning. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där sekundärdata från tidigare forskning användes. En metod som Objective: The objective is to identify similarities and differences in management control systems in different cultural regions. To achieve the objective, two strategies have been formulated: (1) Explain identified similarities and differences with culture as a base, (2) Identify different ideas about future research. Methodology: A literature study was conducted in which secondary data from pre

För att kunna utföra simuleringar och beräkningar på gummikomponenter behövs matematiska modeller som beskriver responsen för gummi vid olika typer av belastningar. Dessa modeller innehåller materialkonstanter, och dessa tas fram med hjälp av experimentella tester. I dagsläget görs alltid en hårdhetstest på gummi för att klassificera hur hårt (eller mjukt) ett gummi är. Detta utförs genom att trToday rubber can be found in many different applications, such as vibration dampers, tyres, clothes and gaskets. Two different types of rubbers are used today, namely the natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made of a milky substance called latex, which is obtained from special trees found in tropical countries. Synthetic rubber is also made from latex, but the latex is obtained

Att omplacera en arbetstagare kan vara ett sätt för en arbetsgivare att komma till rätta med samarbetssvårigheter på en arbetsplats. Omplaceringsrätten är en del av arbetsgivarens bestämmanderätt, som utgör ett viktigt fundament i svensk arbetsrätt, men begränsas bland annat av gränsen för arbetstagarens arbetsskyldighet. Till följd av Arbetsdomstolens avgörande i mål AD 1978 nr 89 kom arbetsgivarThe employer´s right to direct and allocate work lie as a significant foundation for Swedish labour law. This essay, however, aims to discuss one aspect of this right, namely the right to transfer an employee due to a lack of cooperation. The employer´s right to transfer an employee is partly limited to act within the boundaries of the employee´s obligation to work. Furthermore, a case from 1978 m
