Previous attempts to construct an integrative framework for personality psychology are primarily descriptions of what the field looks like today rather than analyses of its logical structure and therefore threaten to reify and perpetuate the current structure of the field. I aim here to draw attention to logically important points that may help to integrate the field and suggest potentially frui
This paper is a component of a three-year empirical study of gaming moms undertaken with the aim to modulate the conventional constructions of gamer identities and examine the contested status of gaming in everyday life. It presents samples of mothers in gaming discourse – from TV, Music-video, forums, and ads. Mothers have been largely invisible in popular gaming discourse or formulaically portra
In the 1940s, Swedish poetry saw the breakthrough of modernism. With the modernist style came a new kind of poetic aspiration towards the condition of music: semantic imitations of musical genres and attempts to create, with the help of the words' associations, an aesthetic effect similar to a musical effect. This type of intermediality, which I call semantic musicality, was inherited as a norm of
This thesis illuminates the deliberative democratic ideal's claim for efficiency and legitimacy that is brought forward by Robyn Eckersley and John S. Dryzek as being an essential brick in the struggle for a societal development that is ecologically sustainable. The take off lies in the belief that the current liberal democracy is incapable of responding sufficiently to the ecological problems
Despite the importance of the UK in meat production in the EU and its increasing population, there is still a lack of rapid, accurate and inexpensive technique to determine an appropriate durability for meat products. As the population increases, the demand for safe and of satisfactory food by both consumers and government raises, so as the demand for a favourable tool to ensure the safety of food
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network constituted by uniquely identifiable commodity objects or devices equipped with some sensing system. To achieve high data rates required for IoT devices, a modern wireless communication system, known as Advanced Antenna Systems(AAS), leads to significant improvement, by increasing not only the data rate but also spectrum efficiency and the channel capacity. A Internet of Things (IoT) is network constituted by day-to-day objects equipped with some sensing system. These objects can also communicate with other objects for data exchange, wirelessly. This calls for a need of better wireless communication systems. New techniques using the 4G (Long-Term Evolution) have been developed to solve this problem, known as Advanced Antenna System (AAS). This new tech
In this bachelor thesis I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism and the challenges that they are facing. I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism through the example of the Swedish magazine Veckorevyn. Veckorevyn decided to quit their print publication earlier this year (2019) with the intention to focus on their digital website veckorevyn.com. The aim with this thes
A perpetual series of terror attacks have caused the European Union to shake in its foundations. In the face of the escalating transnational threat of terrorism, decision-makers, under severe public pressure, have repeatedly called for deeper international intelligence cooperation. A bold idea currently being debated is the establishment of a new European Intelligence Unit (EIU) in the field of co
In the past five years, many Scanian cities have been hit hard by flood damages, especially in conurbation areas. A changed Scanian climate with increased annual rainfall and more downfalls during summer months, is expected to worsen the outcome of flood damages. Therefore, there is a great need for damage prevention activities and climate adaptation work with particular interest for insurance com
This study was conducted in two lakes, Krankesjön and Vombsjön, located in Lund, Sweden. We went out for four weeks during April in order to scan for PIT-tags eaten by cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo). These PIT-tags have been implanted in more than 12000 fishes and 12 species during the period between 2003 and 2012. The total numbers of PIT-tags found were 403 and they were distributed over eight
The privatization of elderly care system occurred in response to an economical crisis as well as political decisions made in the early 1990‘s. Since the economic crisis was supposed to have a negative impact on quality of elderly care services, the government adopted different policies such as New Public Management strategies, the introduction of a unit price for all care services, and the law imp

Vad vet vi om exoplaneter? Studien av planeter har fascinerat mänskligheten sedan för de gamla grekerna, där deras rörelse över himlen representerade allt från gudar till ändringen av säsonger. Vår förståelse för de andra världar i vårt sol system, från gas jätten Jupiter, till de steniga ytan av Mars, har bara förbättrats med tiden. Detta är mest noterbart i det senaste århundrade, med flertal sSince the first discovery of exoplanets, they have been one of the main interests in contemporary astrophysics, with over 5000 confirmed today. One of the current goals is linking the chemical composition of their atmospheres to their formation by modelling the expected abundances for different formation conditions and comparing them to observations. These models require that the parameters of the
When new technologies for the health care sector are developed, it is of outmost importance to increase the possibilities of survival and remain high quality of life for patients. During the conception and design of such technologies, the problem to solve and the possible solutions to achieve have to be well understood and the scope has to be defined. For the particular case of the project LISA, t
Abstract Author: Ylva Nilsson Title: A study of a psychosis unit within open psychiatric care from a holistic-view perspective. Supervisor: Frans Oddner Assessor: Anna Angelin The purpose of this study is to examine a new method of working with patients with a mental disability according to a holistic-view perspective. The aim is to find out how the employees at one psychosis unit at a Swedish h
Background: Public sector organizations develop procurement policies and regulations to ensure appropriate funds management and practice of “best value for money” by managers and purchasing specialists. Nevertheless, while these policies ensure compliance, they often convert the procurement process in resource intensive activities. Previous literature has also pointed the existence of tension betw
As part of the “enlightened” reform activity, Gustav III issued a Tolerance Edict for “foreign believers” in 1781. This law allowed Catholic immigrants to publicly practice their religion. The members of the Reformed communities had already been granted the same rights, and in 1782 the ban on Jewish immigration was abolished. According to previous research, these edicts of toleration, in addition
