This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.

The heat recovery system for ventilation is of major importance when low energy buildings are built. One alternative to the mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery is to use a brine based run-around system that allows for heat recovery in for instance hybrid ventilated buildings. This type of heat recovery system has the potential to lower the need for electricity for the fans. Also, the

Violence against children occurs worldwide despite explicit prohibitions. In Article 19 in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child there is a prohibition against physical and psychological violence towards children. States shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child. According to Article 23 (4) the convention state

The integration of automation and data-driven methodologies offers a promising approach to accelerating materials discovery in energy storage research. Thus far, in battery research, coin-cell assembly has advanced to become nearly fully automated but remains largely disconnected from data-driven methods. To bridge the disconnect, this work presents a self-driving laboratory framework to accelerat

The current paper describes the deictic system of Kamaiurá, a language of the Tupí-Guaraní family. The Kamaiurá system of deictic demonstratives and adverbials has a high degree of complexity, including at least 17 different forms, of which several have different functions. The system codes four levels of Participant deixis, with proximal, medial, distal and far distal deixis.

In my thesis I have chosen to immerse myself in the regional power line network and how it will be built. I have chosen this topic because it is a significant question today and in the future. The investments and technical choices made today, will affect the outcome on the society of tomorrow. When the local power line network was rebuilt, after the hurricane Gudrun in the year 2005, it implied a

I detta arbete jämförs det svenska diskrimineringsskyddet i arbetslivet med rättigheterna i FN:s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning CRPD. Särskilt behandlas bestämmelsen om bristande tillgänglighet. Syftet är att ge personer med funktionshinder ett effektivt medel till att uppnå lika rättigheter och möjligheter i samhället. I den svenska rättsordningen är funktionshindIn this paper the Swedish discrimination legislation in the working life will be compared to the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities CRPD. With special attention to the prohibition off inadequate accessibility. The rule inadequate accessibility has the purpose to give people with disabilities access to society in equal basis to other people. In Swedish law disability is a medi

High performance of an explosive compound with respect to afterburning requires sufficient combustible properties of the explosive, and a careful determination of the most appropriate charge positioning to achieve the desired afterburning effect.

Problem: HIV/AIDS is one of the most challenging health and development issues of modern times. This study takes place in Ghana, which is one of the countries that have made progress in the HIV/AIDS work during the last years. Information of HIV infection and prevention has increased in Ghana within the past few years, but behaviour change is yet a big issue to face and condom use remains low, esp

The group B streptococcus (GBS) is the most important cause of life-threatening bacterial infections in newborn infants. Protective immunity to GBS infection is elicited by several surface proteins, one of which, the beta protein, is known to bind human IgA-Fc. Here, we show that the beta protein also binds human factor H (FH), a negative regulator of complement activation. Absorption experiments

Popular Abstract in English The eye is a complex device in charge of producing clear and sharp images of the outside world. While some people need glasses early on in their lives, others have nearly perfect vision until, all of a sudden, they have to hold books or documents further and further away from their eyes to be able to read them and eventually have to resort to reading glasses. This visuaHealthy eye lenses are transparent and flexible, able to adapt shape in order to focus on far away and close-by objects. With age, however, this flexibility is lost, leading to a condition known as presbyopia. This vision disorder where close-by objects appear blurred commonly starts around the age of 40. The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the molecular origin of the gradual hardening of the c

Whether the entity is the victim or the aggressor, conflict will inevitably result in reputational damage. If we lo

The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain how meal-box, as a digital device designed to assist households in carrying out eating practices, reconfigure household practices and enable specific behavioural activities, including sustainability. Taking a socio-material and practice theory approach and drawing on an ethnographic study of three meal-box providers – The Seasons, Hello Fresh and L

Popular Abstract in English Plant diseases are directly associated with food security because they result in severe reduction of plant yield and thus they add to the scarcity of foods in the world, which can lead to negative repercussions on humankind. Late blight disease that severely hit Ireland in 1840s, which was caused by Phytophthora infestans and is mentioned in the historical records as thAbstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. infestans, there is a need to explore several new approaches th

IntroductionRecreational hunting in Sweden can be depicted as being embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and socio-economic contexts. One is the traditional non-commercial and stewardship-oriented form hunting, in Swedish called ‘allmoge’ hunting. It is characterised by a democratic hunting tradition where the local hunting team is ascribed a main role in wildlife management. These tThe paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The study examines how hunting tourism businesses in Sweden navigate in a complex social, economic and moral environment. The aim of the present paper is to identify how tensions between a market- oriented value sphere and a value sphere based on friendship- and community reciprocity are played out in hunting tourism entrepre

The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a specific group of non ideal crime victims senses that the standard view of the ideal crime victim stands in the way of them getting the help from the judiciary that they are entitled to. If a discrepancy between theory and practice do exists, then why does it exist and what changes need to be done to eliminate it? These questions have been s
