Making choices can be hard, even more so if they are of a moral nature. Since the initial phrasing, utilitarianism has claimed that the morally correct choice is that which maximises utility. This phrasing might seem unproblematic for some. However, I have found there to be a certain problem with such a phrasing. This problem is mainly with “hard cases”, i.e., cases where the utilitarian cannot, w

Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna i världen idag och mycket forskning läggs på den. Det görs ständiga framsteg och nya tekniker utvecklas som kan hjälpa oss att upptäcka och bekämpa cancer. Något som har fått mycket uppmärksamhet är användningen av nanopartiklar för dessa ändamål. Nanopartiklar kan beskrivas som väldigt små partiklar som kan bestå av olika ämnen och finns i allt från matNanoparticles are widely used in biotechnology, yet their toxicity is still being investigated. Determining the toxicity of nanoparticles in vitro and how to reduce it, can facilitate their implementation in vivo. Magnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an emerging technique where magnetic nanoparticles are used as contrast agents in combination with a magnetic field to visualise tissue. The magnetic

There is currently a need in Spain for monitoring the effects of the environmental flows. The use of eco-hydrological relationships to design both environmental flows regimes and the monitoring programs that track their effects on riverine ecosystems is highly recommended. Fishes are the biological element more sensitive to flow regime changes, thus the relationship between fishes and flow dynamic

I dagens livliga skogsdebatt möts olika åskådningar och synsätt på skogen. Också under antiken både brukades och skyddades skogar. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka antika perspektiv på skogen, genom att analysera synsätt på skogen i Vergilius Georgica. Det är ett didaktiskt diktverk som beskriver människans bruk av naturen. Relevanta passager togs fram ur källtexterna genom textsökningar. Dessa k

This paper analyzes the relationship between vocational training and subsequent employment. This is done through a review of the published literature on the subject. Various studies are reviewed in order to present a picture of what the current understanding is of the effects vocational training has on employment. The results indicate that there is evidence to suggest an easier transition from sch

In Denmark, the emergence of identity politics in public debates is increasing. Amongst opposers of identity politics, a concept has been constructed to describe identity political agendas, namely Krænkelseskultur. By analysing the discursive construction of the so-called “Krænkelseskultur” this study aims to examine how discourses on identity politics in Danish Print Media (re)produces social pow

The Turkish tense-aspect-modality system and its complexity has been the topic of many previous studies (Csato, 2000; Johanson, 2016; Slobin & Aksu, 1982) and there are many arguments on whether some of the tense-aspect-modality markers should be categorized as such in the first place, as well as what they express when used in combination with different grammatical markers. This thesis focuses

Hardware today can be inaccessible to users due to cost or the customer’s desire for flexibility. By using virtualization one can reduce customer costs while increasing flexibility. To do this, companies might need to redesign or migrate their hardware to suit a virtualized environment. However, migration from custom to virtual hardware introduces security risks. This thesis, therefore, explores t

Due to the industry 4.0 paradigm shift, manufacturing and pro-duction industries are focusing on Predictive maintenance (PdM) to increase production efficiency and maintenance strategies. Also, adopting data-driven approaches to implement PdM as a result of increased data usage and exchange. However, facing technical and non-technical challenges. Previous studies majorly concentrated on technologi

Facets of trait empathy (personal distress and empathic concern) influence emotion perception into opposing directions.

Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka huruvida svensktalande barn med språkstörning (developmental language disorder, DLD) uppvisar en preferens för rak SV-ordföljd, undersöka hur distributionen av rak och omvänd XVS-ordföljd förändras över tid, och jämföra antalet förekomster av den ogrammatiska XSV-strukturen hos barnen med språkstörning jämfört med barn med typisk språkutveckling. Metod: OrtografiskaPurpose: The purpose was to investigate whether Swedish children with developmental language disorder (DLD) show a preference for canonical SV-word order, investigate how the distribution of canonical and non-canonical word order changes over time, and to compare the number of occurrences of the ungrammatical XSV-structure produced by the children with DLD and typically developing peers.
