Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace. But when weaponized by the states as a tool of indoctrination, education becomes a highly effective instrument of war, contrary to the relevant rules prescribed by the international humanitarian and international human rights law. This weaponization of education was widely empl
I följande uppsats undersöks hur publiken konstrueras och positioneras vid grön marknadsföring och hur detta påverkar ett varumärkes trovärdighet. De två objekt som studeras är Oatlys annons Mjölklobbyn vs Oatly – the final countdown samt Coops reklamfilm Kära köttbit. Analysen genomförs med hjälp av en hermeneutisk metod och består av tre delar. Först görs en deskriptiv semiotisk analys av materi
This thesis asks how developments in The Swedish Social Democratic Party’s welfare ideology over the past 70 years can be understood, using the conceptual lenses of Keynesian, Neoliberal and Social Investment welfare ideals. To answer this question, the thesis models a tailor-made seminal analytical tool; a code scheme of numerous operational indicators for Keynesian, Neoliberal and Social Investm
Grundämnena, som bygger upp komplexa molekyler som vårt DNA, är samma material som stjärnor består av. Faktum är att vi människor består till 93 % av så kallat sjärnstoft, eller sjärndamm. De simplaste ämnena, väte och helium, skapades i Big Bang, för ungefär 13,7 miljarder år sedan. De resterande 90 ämnena i periodiska systemet bildas i olika typer av stjärnor och i detta arbete har jag tagit fraPurpose: The purpose of this work is to determine the abundances of neutron-capture elements in solar neighborhood giant stars. This enables constraints to be put on the the cosmic origin of these elements. I have determined abundances of elements produced in both the weak s-process (Cu), the first and second s-process peaks (Y, Zr and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, respectively) and the r-process (Eu, Gd). The
Since the year of 2015 the Swedish Christian Democratic Party advocates a future Swedish NATO membership. Earlier, the party has not supported the idea of joining the multinational political and military organization, but have due to altered defence and security policy circumstances changed party opinion. The aim of this bachelor thesis is thus to investigate and analytically discuss the Swedish C
Hjärtat - En muskelpump ur ett matematiskt perspektiv Hjärtat pumpar blod ut i kroppen mellan 40 och 100 gånger per minut. Drygt en tredjedel av alla dödsfall orsakas av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar och ett sjukt hjärta kan därmed leda till fatala konsekvenser. Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är följaktligen den vanligaste dödsorsaken globalt och i Sverige. Kroppens cirkulationssystem, som består av hjärtCardiovascular diseases, affecting the heart and blood vessels, are the most common cause of death globally. However, the risk of suffering from a cardiovascular disease could decrease significantly as research improve treatment and identification of symptoms. One way to increase our knowledge and improve education of the cardiovascular system is to develop mathematical simulation models. This the
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the underlying reasons that drive consumers, belonging to a particular consumption style, to engage in paradoxical consumption practices and attempt to explain these practices. For the purpose of this study, the non-static hipster youth style was used as the empirical example of a postmodern consumption style. Methodology This study is based on e
We have studied the main features and the phenomenological consistency of a family-nonuniversal Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with a softly broken U(1)xZ2 family symmetry that enforces the flavour hierarchies in the Standard Model (SM) while implementing a tree-level Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) suppression in a Branco-Grimus-Lavoura way. Furthermore, the alignment limit is imposed i
This thesis investigates how waste management in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as a long-term complex socio-technical change process, fits in the multi-level perspective designed by Geels (2002). Due to shrinking quantities of waste that is generated in the Netherlands, the combined heat and power plants are experiencing production overcapacity. Therefore, its importing waste from the
Competition policy is important for the promotion of fair competition, preventing abuse of market power and protecting consumer and business interests. It is thus an area that builds and moulds itself according to the fabric or structure of society and eventually evolves by habitually adjusting to the dynamics of government economies. Despite the different economic dynamics between the European Un
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test how Nordic acquirers perform post M&A deals and to what extent the Method of Payment affects this performance. An additional analysis is also conducted where the above is tested, conditional on the financial constraints of the acquirer. Methodology: To obtain the long-term performance (BHAR) of Nordic acquirers, an event study has been conducted.
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. The climate is changing dramatically because of human activity and the construction and property sector plays a key role in reducing climate emissions and building a sustainable future. Although the development of climate-smart solutions in the construction and real estate sector has come a long way, the spread of green buildings has encountered
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the level of conict in the media between the government and the opposition at dierent time periods, and specically regarding EU policies. Opposition towards policy is a crucial ingredient in democratic systems of government that do not only allow the people to send dierent personalities to represent them in government, but rather dierent policy agendas that
The trend towards greater globalisation brings the matter of cultural identity to the foreground. Transnational corporations or business networks are culturally diverse places where cultural othering – simply put, the assumption that someone is fundamentally different from you based on the cultural identity projected on- or associated with them – can significantly impact operations across the hier
Today the climate in the arctic regions are changing at a rapid rate, faster than any speed previously recorded in human history but how is it impacting the geopolitical situation in these regions? New territory is being created by the ice melting and new natural resources are being found, how can this impact the current situation? This study looks at and discusses the current geopolitical situati
For centuries, people have appreciated the taste of wild mushrooms which can be found in nature throughout the European continent and the Fennoscandian peninsula. This is especially so for those of the order of Cantharellales, where you find the Golden Chanterelle among others. Today the commercial aspect of mushroom harvesting has resulted in regulations and guidelines set out by the Nordic Counc
This study explores the acceptance of wearable technology among the elderly, utilizing the Smart Wearable Acceptance Model (SWAM) developed by Li et al. (2019) as the theoretical framework. Through qualitative research methods, key factors influencing acceptance were identified, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, social influence, and self-reported heal
Populism is a disputed concept and has become a popular term for describing political leaders and movements. The United States is not an exception from having its presidents and politics labeled as populist. Thus it raises the question whether American politics has become more populistic over time during the 21st century. This paper's purpose is to investigate the development of populism in co
Excitation and emission polarization dependence of fluorescence intensity of single LH2 complexes from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 and Rhodobacter sphaeroides is reported. The results are presented as two-dimensional polarization plots and interpreted in terms of tilted light harvesting complexes indicating that sample preparation leads to partially oriented LH2 cylinders. An alternative exp
Limited information about the relationship between specific mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) and cancer risk exists.
