  1. 1. Trilingual spoken word recognition : Interlingual competition from one or two non-target languages in a sentence context

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Centrum för tvåspråkighetsforskning

    Author : Yulia Kashevarova; [2023]
    Keywords : trilingual speech processing; cross-linguistic competition; sentence context; BLINCS; BIA ;

    Abstract : Persistent non-target language co-activation in spoken and visual language comprehension has been found both at the word-level and at the level of a sentence, although in the latter case, sentence bias has been observed to modulate the co-activation which can create lexical competition. In the case of trilingual speakers, both non-target languages may potentially compete with the third language (L3). READ MORE

  3. 2. Better Never to Have Been? : A Critique of David Benatar’s Axiological Asymmetry Argument for Antinatalism

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier

    Author : Simon Fridh; [2023]
    Keywords : Antinatalism; Benatar; asymmetry; axiology; procreation; person-affecting; death; pro-mortalism;

    Abstract : David Benatar’s axiological asymmetry argument for antinatalism states that it is always bad for a sentient being to come into existence. There has been a lot of discussion about this argument since its publication in 2006, but this discussion has often been lacking by not accepting some ground rules, or assumptions, that Benatar establishes.

  4. 3. The effect of disorder on the axial anomaly in a lattice model in 1 + 1 dimensions

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Agnes Wattrang; [2023]
    Keywords : Axial anomaly; tight-binding model; semiclassical physics; correlated disorder.; Axial kiral anomali; tätbindningsmodell; semiklassisk fysik; korrelerad oordning;

    Abstract : This work investigates the effect of a disorder potential, that represents impurities/dislocations in the lattice, on the time-dependent signature of the axial anomaly in a one-band tight-binding model in one spatial dimension. The tight-binding model is solved numerically and the simulation results are compared with a semiclassical expression for the time-dependent axial density, n5(t), due to Nielsen and Ninomiya [1].

  5. 4. Värmereducerande åtgärder för urbana mikroklimat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Alice Ljungdahl; Ida Grundh; [2023]
    Keywords : klimatförändringar; värmeböljor; värmeöar; värmeöeffekt; klimatanpassning; temperaturreglering; värmereducerande åtgärder; värmereducering; mikroklimat; vegetation; skugga;

    Abstract : Det står klart att rådande klimatförändringar har lett och kommer i framtiden att leda till ökade temperaturer samt fler och längre perioder av värmeböljor. Ökade temperaturer i kombination med värmeöeffekter medför att urbana miljöer är särskilt utsatta och människor som väljer att bosätta sig på sådana platser riskerar allvarliga konsekvenser när det gäller hälsa och välbefinnande.

  6. 5. The Effect of Monetary Incentives on Prosocial Behavior : A behavioral experiment focusing on method development

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Nationalekonomi; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Frida Stark; Sandra Medenica; [2023]
    Keywords : monetary incentives; hypothetical decision making; prosocial behavior; online experiments; behavioral economics; method development;

    Abstract : It is sometimes said that money speaks louder than words, and in a world where financial decisions are a major driving force, it is interesting to explore how monetary incentives influence our decision making. Some argue that intrinsic motivation is sufficient to be able to measure prosocial decision-making, but what happens when we add monetary incentives to experiments that might otherwise be conducted with hypothetical scenarios? In this study, we conduct an online experiment with 1002 participants to explore if decision making changes when monetary incentives are introduced. READ MORE
