Växtdrogen khat har sedan 1990-talet fått allt större mediafokus i Sverige vilket skulle kunna tolkas som att användandet ökar. I denna uppsats undersöks fenomenet med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys inspirerad av Norman Fairclough och Howard S. Beckers begrepp moralentreprenör. Genom analys av journalistiska reportage och nyhetsartiklar undersöks en del av de mediala representationerna av khat i s

The primary purpose of this study was to establish an interaction effect between effortful control and neuroticism on problem‐solving coping. The secondary purpose was to examine the relationships between all three variables by establishing a correlation matrix. The sample consisted of 64 individuals, 18‐25 years old. The scores on the variables neuroticism and effortful control were used to creat

Inom byggbranschen råder jargongen 70 vitt och 30 svart. Genom att använda svartarbetskraft sparas mycket pengar in, arbetsavgifter på 30 procent, moms på 25 procent samt inkomstskatt slipper betalas. Detta drabbar de seriösa aktörerna negativt och bidrar negativt till den sunda konkurrensen. De senaste åren har svartarbetet blivit mer organiserat och som en följd har hot, våld och korruption inom

Syfte: Uppsatsen ämnar bidra till den internationella ”Corporate Governance”-litteraturen genom att analysera samband mellan den totala ersättningen till VD och ägarförhållandena i företagen mellan åren 2005-2009. Metod: Metoden som används är kvantitativ och har ett deduktivt förhållningssätt eftersom den baseras på tidigare forskningsresultat och teorier. Vidare analyseras relationerna mellan in

This article uses negotiations theory to analyze the Good Friday agreement negotiations in 1998. Negotiations theory is often divided into either rational choice or cognitive perspectives whereas negotiations in fact constitutes of both. The article uses framework models, inspired by the work of Kjell Hausken who includes both rational and cognitive factors to analyze the negotiations leading to t

Primary schooling was made mandatory in Sweden in 1842. Previous literature on this well-known reform centres on the related political discussions at central level. This thesis examines how local school financing evolved in the 19th century in response to increased engagement from the central government and why it evolved the way it did. A particular focus is on the largely overlooked local level

Utifrån psykodynamiska teorier om subjektivitet och postkoloniala teorier om rasifiering undersöktes i denna studie hur elever som inte ovillkorat räknades in i den föreställda svenska nationella gemenskapen gav mening åt erfaren-heter av rasifiering och hur de förstod sig själva i ett rasifierat landskap. Am-bitionen har varit att generera en situerad kunskap som bidrar till ökad med-vetenhet ochCoupling psychodynamic theories of subjectivity with post-colonial theories of racialization this study examined how students not unconditionally includ-ed in the imagined Swedish national community gave meaning to their expe-riences of racialization and understood themselves in a racialized context. The ambition was to generate a situated knowledge that contributed to awareness and ability to ref

Uppsatsen består av en diskursanalys av European Women’s Lobbys (EWL) material och ställningstaganden gällande mäns våld mot kvinnor. Undersökningen syftar till att identifiera vilka diskurser som används i organisationens kampanjmaterial. Vi utgår ifrån en feministisk teori i vår frågeställning för att undersöka European Women’s Lobbys ideologiska utgångspunkt. Som bakgrund redogör vi för genere

In this paper, the model of moral motivation as developed by Brekke et al (2003) is analysed with the new assumption that self-image is an increasing function of effort. While the effects of increased efficiency and new information on optimal effort levels are largely similar, different results are obtained when individuals are faced with responsibility and economic incentives. Following Brekke et

Homelessness is a major concern in todays society. Nevertheless, the place of the church S:ta Clara in Stockholm, Sweden, has an individual will to diminish homeless individuals and improve their standard of living. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the place and space of S:ta Clara. It’s about the everyday life of homeless individuals who socialize and could obtain security

Although Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder, in many patients cognitive dysfunction is an important clinical sign. It is not yet clear whether this is attributable solely to a decrease in dopamine levels, or whether other neurotransmitter systems might be involved as well. In the present study, the importance of the mesocorticolimbic dopamine pathway and a possible convergence with forebra

Den här skriften handlar om ljus och ljusets betydelse för oss människor. Tolv forskare med vitt skilda bakgrunder samlas och diskuterar frågor som skrider över gränserna. Vad är ljus egentligen? Hur kan vi förstå ljus? Hur påverkar det oss? På vilket sätt kan vi använda oss av det? Vilka tekniska möjligheter har vi att skapa och styra olika sorters ljus? Vilka möjligheter ger det oss inför fram

Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningar med detaljerade kemiska reaktionssytem, med uppemot 1500 kemiska reaktioner, har utförts på HCCI-motorer, en experimentell motortyp som bygger på homogen kompressionsantändning. Resultaten jämfördes med experimentella mätningar och visade att beräkningar med god noggrannhet kan utföras, men att antändingsprocessen är mycket känslig för även små variationer iCalculations on a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine have been performed. Zero-dimensional models were used. The simplest model compressed the gas to auto-ignition, using temperature and pressure at a certain crank angle position obtained from engine experiments. It was found that calculations with good agreement could be accomplished, if using correct temperature, pressure and

Based on multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vectorvalued phase field, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of parent phase and crystal orientation into account in proper way, as being illustrated by the simulation of austenite to ferrite transformation in lo

This article explores four preselected permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) topologies suitable for direct mounting on low pressure spool in a turbo fan engine. The challenge of contributing to More Electric Engine (MEE) development is that the electrical machine needs to operate over wide speed range, take advantage of available space that forces to use a high number of poles and last but

Aim: One of the causes for lower cure rates in acute childhood leukemia in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries is abandonment from treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) defines abandonment as failure to begin treatment or an absence of 4 weeks during treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of abandonment among p

Nuclear and electronic dynamics in atoms and molecules are the foundation of many physical processes and chemical reactions. Often, these dynamics take place on timescales so much shorter than those commonly encountered that they are called ultrafast. In order to study ultrafast phenomena, time-resolved techniques such as pump-probe experiments, involving ultrafast light pulses, are necessary. Fo
