The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) can be read as a protofeminist text and a radical novel for its time, as it confronted the lack of maternal rights and protection for children. In this paper I discuss the portrayal of motherhood, and the factors that empower and restrict Helen. Using Sarah Lewis´s Woman´s Mission (1839) and her contemporary views of maternal duty, this paper explores the complex
The susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium marinum was determined. Quinupristin-dalfopristin and telithromycin were less active than clarithromycin. Linezolid showed good antimicrobial activity at clinically achievable concentrations. Gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin displayed activities similar to those of ciprofloxacin. Gemifloxacin was less active. The Etest method showed variable
A novel gel structure called the "plum-pudding" gel was described by us previously. I The gel was composed of randomly dispersed microgel particles ("plums") in a conventional hydrogel network. Depending on the preparation conditions, the microgels can be incorporated into the gel as expanded networks or dense collapsed globules. Where the microgel particles exist as collapsed globules, they have
Ecuador has experienced a drastic political transformation since the return to neoliberalism under the reign of president Lenin Moreno. Political contentions between the government, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples have led to increased social resistance, protesting the use of extractivism and other neoliberal policies to increase economic growth and relieve national debt. In 2019, the Wa
Cities and car traffic does not always fit well together. Apart from the well-knownenvironmental problems associated with traffic congestion (e.g. air pollution and noise,climate change and global warming), there are also negative local effects in the form ofincreased risk of traffic accidents, abuse of key resources (energy and time), gender issues interms of accessibility, security and power ove
Först halvledarteknik, sedan nanoteknik. Tillsammans utgör de huvuddelen av det vi definierar som modern teknik. Användandet av halvledare revolutionerade teknologin under mitten av 1900-talet genom möjligheten att kunna kontrollera halvledarmaterial till att vara antingen elektriskt isolerande eller ledande. Inom elektroniken utgör halvledarna den viktigaste beståndsdelen i till exempel datorer, The topic of III-V nanowires is still, after more than two decades, a growing and lively research area. The areas of application are wide and contain such important topics as energy harvesting, cheap and efficient lighting, high efficiency detectors and new types of electronics. III-V materials offer properties superior to the widely used Si. They can have considerably higher carrier mobility whic
The purpose was to investigate whether the Merton Model works in emerging markets and if it does how efficient it works there compared to in mature markets. Findings show that the Merton model works in emerging markets and considers country specific information, yet only through stock prices and volatility. However, the model does not account for quality and availability of information in thes
An analysis of the dialogue between Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, in terms of androgyny, the uncanny, and unity/disunity.
European identity based on the common religious and cultural history is very hard to argue for. Still, the guiding treaties in the European Union are mentioning the necessity to protect and preserve Europe’s religious, cultural and historical inheritance. This essay explains how this identification of Europe’s common inheritance is no more than a political construct, based on the same theories of
The purpose of this essay is to examine if there is a slow genocide taking place in West Papua. To decide this, the situation of the people of West Papua will be applied on the genocide convention. Other alternative definitions will also be presented to recognize the complexity of the term genocide. The essay will focus on the violence and use of authority by the Indonesian government, the milita
In 2017 the Swedish government takes the decision that conscription will be reactivated after eight years of sleep. Major system changes like this need time to find their path so they are able to produce. Therefore, several questions are raised ahead of the reactivation of the conscription. This study answers to the question why the conscription was taken back in service. The answer and driving fo
This thesis examines the question of whether Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are under an obligation to refer questions on the interpretation of EEA law to the EFTA Court (the Court). These countries enjoy access to the EU’s internal market through the EEA Agreement. Article 34 of the Surveillance and Court Agreement, concluded between the EEA/EFTA States, establishes an advisory opinion procedu
Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre
Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi
Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of CEO narcissism in relation to corporate performance and whether there are distinct differences between companies earlier in the corporate life cycle and more mature firms. Methodology: This thesis uses quantitative method with a deductive approach. Five regression models were constructed to investigate the research question. Theore
The thesis explored how waste could be prevented through public procurement in the public institutions on the Danish island, Bornholm. The island has set an ambitious vision, ‘Bornholm showing the way – without waste 2032’, aiming for 100 % waste recycling and reuse by 2032. To reach the vision, it is essential to include waste prevention, particularly dematerialisation before goods are procured o
Ekonomiska verktyg för bevisning, exempelvis SSNIP-testet, kan utgöra problem inom konkurrensrätten då ekonomer har mindre förståelse för juridik och jurister har mindre förståelse för ekonomi. Konkurrensrätt är ett ämne som starkt präglas av ekonomisk bevisning på grund av ämnets ekonomiska natur. Det är därav av värde att beskriva och analysera förutsättningarna och gränserna för när SSNIP-testeEconomic evidence tools, such as the SSNIP-test, can pose practical problems in competition law since economists have little understanding of the law and lawyers have little understanding of economics. Competition law is characterized by economic evidence because of the economic nature of the subject. Therefore, it is of value to describe and analyse the conditions and limits for when the SSNIP-te
Tightly knit to the debate about a democratic deficit to the European Union (EU) is that of a communication deficit, meaning that the legitimacy a political entity gain through the communicative processes that ensure insight into politics is flawed. Ideas on how to overcome the communication deficit often revolve around transnationalizing communication between Member States or improving the commun
