This paper examined the language attitudes of native English speakers recruited from Reddit toward two native and two non-native English accents by applying the verbal-guise technique and using speech audio files from The Speech Accent Archive (Weinberger, 2017). The two native English accents are General American and Received Pronunciation. The two non-native English accents are German and Mexica

In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The mor

In the last few decades, dissatisfaction with the prevailing critical paradigm ¬– what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as early as 1997 dubbed “paranoid” or “suspicious” reading – has grown significantly. This thesis is a survey of three recent works, The Albertine Workout (2014), Unfinished Business: Notes of A Chronic Re-Reader (2020), and A Ghost in the Throat (2020), that emerge from this discontent. Pa

Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster. Theoretical studies have indicated that some of these clusters can

In this thesis project, we introduce an inclusive, environmentally friendly structure to the city of Amman, where both humans and non-humans can coexist and share spaces within the same boundary. We investigated various design approaches and incorporated generative design and Machine Learning in the form-finding phase of different architectural elements. We used the generative design approach in t

I Lydia Wistisens avhandling Gångtunneln (2017) nämner hon att storstaden kommit att bli den mest vanliga miljöskildringen i ungdomslitteraturen under 1900-talet. Ungdomar har en egen stadsgeografi och det är dessa erfarenheter som visar sig i ungdomslitteraturen. Ungdomars förflyttningar i staden går från rum till rum. De rör sig i allmänna stadsrum, förbindelseleder, såsom broar, tunnelbanelinje

In this thesis, an investigation is done about the possibility to integrate electronic push brakes on a bicycle trailer. The bicycle trailer is a multifunctional trailer used when running, bicycling, or skiing. By conducting a concept developing process, this investigation aims to build a full-scale mock-up, that can be used as a proof of concept. The problem is divided into four sub-problems; bra

After the U.S. intervention, civil wars, and growing violence during the late 20th century, migration from the Central American countries to the U.S. increased rapidly in the 1980s, especially illegal migration. The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) granted Nicaraguans permanent residency, while the others could apply “only” for asylum or were not even mentioned. In th

Forskningsfråga: Leder estetiskt tilltalande bilder till ökad bokningsintention Syfte: Denna studie är en replikation av studie 1 i artikeln författad av Marder, Erz, Angell och Plangger (2021) “The Role of Photograph Aesthetics on Online Review Sites: Effects of Management- versus Traveler-Generated Photos on Tourists’ Decision Making”. Syftet med denna studie är att replikera Marder et al. (2021

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utröna om VD-ordet förmedlar en rättvisande bild av bolagets finansiella ställning genom att undersöka om tonläge skiljer sig beroende på finansiell prestation. Teori: Legitimitetsteorin, Impression Management och Institutionell teori Metod: Studien använder en kvantitativ metod där sjuttiosex bolag på Stockholm Mid Cap undersöks. Genom datorstödd innehållsanalPurpose: The purpose of this essay is to examine if the CEO letter mediates a fair picture of the company's financial position by determining if the tone of the CEO letter differs depending on financial performance. Theoretical perspectives: Legitimacy theory, Impression management and Institutional theory. Methodology: The study uses a quantitative method where seventysix companies listed o

More than 17.9 million new patients worldwide suffer from heart diseases. In order to conduct a proper diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to develop a functionality for patients and doctors, which has the possibility to transfer the continuously measured data to the doctor for several days. In addition, such a tool should have the function to wirelessly transmit an alarm to the doctors, prov

Hela livet är våra lungor livsviktiga organ. För nyfödda såväl som för äldre patienter så finns ett kliniskt behov av säker och kontinuerlig lungövervakning. Några av dagens vanliga metoder för att undersöka lungorna, såsom röntgen och datortomografi, ger endast en ögonblicksbild samt medför joniserande strålning. En ny teknik för klinisk lungmonitorering är nu på frammarch: GASMAS. GASMAS står föGAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a technique to study free gas inside strongly scattering bulk-materials. GASMAS is successful in safely measuring oxygen in lungs of neonates, with low-power tuneable diode-laser spectroscopy at 760 nm. Because a similar need of lung monitoring exists in older patients, this work explores how GASMAS can be scaled up for larger geometries.

Introduction: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful tool when used in metabolomics, the study of small molecules in the body, and investigating new modes of using it might lead to even better tools for diagnostics and research. Background: Chemical ionization (CI) for GC-tandem MS (GC-MS/MS) is relatively rarely used compared to the more commonplace electron ionization (EI).

The availability of energy is an overarching measure connected to various aspects of poverty. Energy Poverty, as a concept, captures the deprivation of access to energy, clean and safe fuels and end-appliances. While measures to reduce energy poverty increase the demand for energy, greenhouse gas emissions must decrease to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, rendering renewable energy so

This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th
