This dissertation examines the influence of lexical-semantic representations, conceptual similarity, and contextual fit on the processing of coordinated verb phrases. The study integrates information gleaned from current linguistic theory with current psycholinguistic approaches to examining the processing of coordinated verb phrases. It has been claimed that in coordinated phrases, one conjunct m

Introduction: Traditionally, the academic librarian has served as an information specialist working in close professional contact with researchers to provide support in the process of scientific investigation. When the Internet entered the academic world, the belief emerged that researchers could handle information on their own. Thus, the value of personal professional interaction between the acad

Chapter three explores the principle of data minimization in the GDPR, its application, techniques, and measures to perform it,

The accelerating electrification of urban infrastructure and the transport sector is placing in- creasing stress on distribution grid capacity. Distribution system operators (DSOs) are in- creasingly challenged by infrastructure constraints that delay or prevent the connection of new customers. This thesis investigates the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a flexi- ble alternative to

This thesis starts with an interest to explore how I, as an urban designer, can contribute to make the city centre of my hometown more enjoyable for its citizens and visitors. Growing up in Västerås, the city centre was a place of retail. You walked in the large-scale public realm, looking out for cars when crossing the streets, and visiting the large indoor malls. How can the city centre be impro

Laddskenor är en ny teknik som medför att fordon kan laddas i farten. Detta görs genom att fräsa en längre linje i vägbanan, där ett flertal laddskenor kan placeras, för att i bruk överföra ström till eldrivna fordon. Idag är laddskenor i ett utvecklingsstadie där underhållet sker separat från vägens underhåll. I följande rapport kommer en mindre väg med laddskena samt en större motorväg med planeCharging rails are a new technology that allows vehicles to be charged while in motion. This is done by milling a long line in the roadway where multiple charging rails can be placed to transfer power to electric vehicles. Currently, charging rails are in a development stage where maintenance is conducted separately from road maintenance. In the following report, a minor road with a charging rail

This thesis examines the ownership and governance of SMT Malmö Partner Holding AB in the context of the Jägersro urban development project in Malmö. It explores how a mix of public and private interests shapes urban projects through neoliberal governance, with a particular emphasis on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper establishes a theoretical

Bison bonanza: En dag i visentens liv Den europeiska bisonen, visenten (Bison bonasus) är den amerikanska bisonoxens (Bison bison) mindre kända släkting och likväl Europas största vilda däggdjur. Misströsta inte om du helt missat att detta stora oxdjur vandrar i Central- och Östeuropas landskap. Visenten dog nämligen ut i det vilda redan under 1920-talet och har senare blivit återintroducerad medThe European bison (Bison bonasus), is the largest terrestrial mammal in Europe and a possible keystone species. Having previously been extinct in the wild, the European bison faces several severe challenges, such as lack of suitable habitat, habitat fragmentation, isolation of populations, small population sizes and a very limited gene pool. Nonetheless, after a long period of regulated matings a

Kullatorpssjön är en liten sjö på Kullaberg. Det var ett av de första landområdena i Sverige som blev isfritt för efter den senaste avsmältningen för ca 17 000 år sedan, och utgör därför en viktig dokumentation av den tidiga flora- och faunahistorien i Sverige. Detta projekt är en del av ett samarbete mellan paleoekologer och arkeologer vid Lunds universitet och geologer vid Stockholms universitetKullatorpssjön is a small lake located on the Kullen peninsula. This was among the earliest land masses in Sweden to become ice-free, roughly 17,000 cal. BP, following the last deglaciation, and so forms a vital record of the pioneer floral and faunal history of Sweden. This thesis is part of a collaboration between palaeoecologists and archaeologists at Lund University and geoscientists at Stockh

Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene. This leads to progressive loss of striatal neurons and motor-cognitive decline. While current gene-targeting approaches aiming at reducing somatic instability show promise – especially in case of early treatment – they cannot restore the already compromised neuronal circuitry at advanc

The field of particle physics is ever evolving. With the recent advent of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is possible that the long sought for Higgs boson is detected. While this is not certain even if it is found it is likely that it will need more precise methods of investigation. For this and other reasons, a new collider called the International Linear Collider (ILC) is being planned. This

För att uppnå maximal nytta med skattebetalarnas pengar eftersträvar Trafikverket att vägar ska byggas med lång livslängd. För att uppnå detta vill Trafikverket i framtiden ha möjlighet att ställa krav på vägars bärighet i totalentreprenader, utöver de funktionskrav (exempelvis spårbildning och jämnhet) som redan ställs på vägens yta idag. Vid slutbesiktning skall fallviktsmätningar utföras som viTo achieve maximum benefit with both resources and money, the Swedish Transport Administration want to set requirements regarding the bearing capacity in design and construct contracts to ensure a long lifetime of roads. A falling weight deflectometer test is to be carried out for the final inspection of the road and the results will tell the Swedish Transport Administration whether the contractor

Den pågående energiomställningen har gett upphov till ett växande behov av elanslutningar och aktualiserat behovet av att anpassa elnätet genom att införa flexibilitetslösningar. Elnätsföretag har med anledning av nätkapacitetsutmaningen redan svårt att ansluta nya kunder vilket gett upphov till diskussioner kring möjligheterna att tillämpa så kallade villkorade avtal. Till skillnad från traditionGrid modernisation is a key enabler in the ongoing transition to a more sustainable energy system. As both grid connections and power consumption are foreseen to increase, the introduction of flexibility solutions is an essential supplement to network deployment. Due to the current risk of grid congestion, power utilities are experiencing difficulties in connecting new customers which has given ri

The current reality is that cities are losing green spaces rather than creating more of them, leading to many urban challenges. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS), through renaturing urban landscapes, are seen as a promising solution to help cities deal with climate change and build a better future for communities worldwide. In Europe, specifically, NbS is also seen as a way of boosting green innov

Warming is expected to stimulate soil microbial respiration triggering a positive soil carbon-climate feedback loop while a consensus remains elusive regarding the magnitude of this feedback. This is partly due to our limited understanding of the temperature-adaptive response of soil microbial respiration, especially over broad climatic scales. We used the square root (Ratkowsky) model to calculat

Understanding the critical soil moisture (SM) threshold (θcrit) of plant water stress and land surface energy partitioning is a basis to evaluate drought impacts and improve models for predicting future ecosystem condition and climate. Quantifying the θcrit across biomes and climates is challenging because observations of surface energy fluxes and SM remain sparse. Here, we used the latest databas

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a life-threatening illness. Sometimes long inpatient treatment is necessary, increasing the anxiety that comes with hospitalization and the necessary weight gain. Safe, non-pharmacological adjunctive therapies that improve subjective health are called for. Objective: The aim of this non-randomized, mixed-methods observational study was to describe the utilizati

Fjärrvärme och fjärrkyla är ändamålsenliga system för distribution av värme och kyla i tätbebyggda områden. Dessa system är viktiga vid planeringen av framtida energieffektiva system på grund av deras höga potential för att integrera förnybara energikällor. Systemen spelar också en viktig roll i samhällets energiförsörjningssäkerhet, vilket gör dem till ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsområde. Den District heating and cooling are efficient systems for distributing heat and cold in urban areas. They are a key solution for planning future urban energy-efficient systems due to their high potential for integrating renewable energy sources. The systems also play an important role in community resilience, which makes them a multidisciplinary research topic. The continuous development of these sys

Global forests are the main component of the land carbon sink, which acts as a partial buffer to CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Dynamic vegetation models offer an approach to projecting the development of forest carbon sink capacity in a future climate. Forest management capabilities are important to include in dynamic vegetation models to account for the effects of age and species structure a

The current fossil-based economy must be transformed into a bio-based circular economy. A cornerstone of this transformation is the conversion of pulp and paper mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries that allow not only the production of pulp, paper, and electricity, but also novel biochemicals. Highly selective, electrifiable, and low-energy-consuming separation technologies will be key in the
