The focus of this paper is the paradigm of the Kyoto realization of the dialectal honorific suffix -haru found in the dialects spoken in the Kansai area of western Japan. A number of hypothetical forms are examined and tested against the intuitions of a native Japanese speaker familiar with the dialects of the Kansai area, including the Kyoto dialect, and the morphological possibilities and constr

Genom vår studie har vi kommit fram till att en individs identitetsprocess kommer att påverka hur de ställer sig till kompetensdelning. Synen på kompetensdelning kommer även att påverkas av de sociala utbytesregler som finns i organisationen. Vi har sett att synen både främjas och motverkas av dessa två faktorer och hävdar att företag bör ta dem i beaktande då de utformar strategier för hur kompetThrough our study we found that the identity process will have an impact on the view on competence sharing. We also found that the view on competence sharing will be affected by the social exchange rules in the organization. The view on competence sharing were both encouraged and discouraged by these two factors, thus we argue that companies should take them into account when designing strategies

Student housing is an ongoing and ever debated issue. Students often have to pay for inefficient square meters which are both difficult to furnish and lack function. In Helsingborg, the supply of student housing is wide but with varying quality and efficiency. Therefore, future student accommodations in Helsingborg should be carefully planned and adapted to their purpose - with more effective squa

As people travel more than ever before, transport and infrastructure is growing in all Swedish cities. With growing emission levels of nitrogen dioxide, greenhouse gases and particles, and an increasing risk of traffic-related accidents, parking strategy is a key component in planning and securing the healthy development of the city's infrastructure. For new construction and rebuilding a parki

E-förvaltning syftar till att den offentliga sektorn tillhandahåller eTjänster till Sveriges medborgare på ett så enkelt och effektivt sätt som möjligt. Regeringens mål är att medborgare ska kunna sköta och hantera skyldigheter som de har gentemot staten samt kunna ta del av den service som erbjuds. E-delegationen är tillsatt av regeringen för att tillgodose de krav som ställs för att e-förvaltnin

Investigate on both usability and sociability influence consumer involvement. Since Usability has broader scope of influence, sociability has deeper scale of influence. We have concluded that consumers focus on convenience of digital service. Consumers have the intention to interact through digital service but feel reluctant to take action.

Syftet med denna studie är att visa och analysera hur olika musiklärare uppfattar och beskriver bedömning. Syftet är också att undersöka om och i så fall hur formativ bedömning är en del av musiklärarnas praktik. Metoden för datainsamling har varit kvalitativ och som underlag för uppsatsen har fyra intervjuer med ensemblelärare på gymnasiet genomförts. Resultatet av studien visar på stor variationTitle: "You almost need a focus area in school that is assessment...". A qualitative interview study on how ensemble teachers perceive and describe assessment. The purpose of this study is to show and analyse how different music teachers perceive and describe assessment. The purpose is also to examine whether and if so how formative assessment is part of the music teachers´ practice. The

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is the vital and basic part of construction digitizing hospital. However the systems are well-known for their interoperability problems and a Swedish evaluation from 2010 concluded it to be the most frequent obstacle in workflow. We then wondered what techniques the organizations used to solve the problem to understand if the organizations use the right solution to

This thesis investigates the Hadronic Light by Light (HLL) scattering contribution to the muon g − 2, which is one of the most important low energy hadronic effects and consists mainly of the quark loop, the pion pole and the charged pion and kaon loops. In this work the charged pion loop has been investigated more closely. After reviewing the subject a preliminary introduction to Chiral Perturbat

This thesis concentrates on one of the indirect Dark Matter (DM) detection methods, namely through observations of Very High Energy (VHE) $\gamma$-ray signals from DM annihilation (or decay) in cosmic sources using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT). We discuss the particle physics and astrophysical aspects of those observations and perform several calculations which lead to an est
