In this thesis, I study representations of summer and winter Olympic Games and Olympic athletes in six Swedish popular magazines 1948-1972. The purpose is to examine the forms of identity produced within the nation as an “imagined community”, in discursive processes where gender, sexuality, ”race”/ ethnicity, class and age/generation intersect and mutually construct each other. The study is inspir

In this article, different approaches to the field of urban ecology are distinguished. The focus lies on the approach characterized by looking at the city as an ecological system, since this view has given rise to the most fruitful discussion from a social geographical perspective. Further, references are made to four studies of applied urban ecology with short summaries of the most important conc

Urbanisation and industrialisation has led people spending more time indoors than ever before. Many buildings have small windows and contain large windowless spaces. Therefore, the natural daylight outdoors has to be replaced by light from artificial sources. If light affected vision only, this situation would be difficult enough. Since light also affects both well-being and health, the design of

This thesis explores the relationship between news media and trust from the perspective of the individual audience member using the term “fake news” to do so. This thesis set out to understand how audiences were engaging with and defining the term “fake news” in our contemporary media environment and if and how this was affecting their overall engagement with news media. To do so, the study used a

Det finns ett samhällsintresse att verksamheter i offentlig regi drivs så kostnadseffektivt som möjligt. När verksamheten har ett minimikrav på bemanning som krävs för att driva verksamheten, kan arbetsuppgifter inte överföras på andra anställda vid någons frånvaro. Den frånvarande måste ersättas. Detta innebär att många verksamheter drivs med viss ”övertalighet”. Syftet med denna fallstudie var aThere is a public interest that activities operated by the public sector are run as cost effectively as possible. When an organization has a minimum requirement of staffing required to run its activity, work cannot just be transferred to other employees at someone's absence. The absentee must be replaced. This means that many organizations are run with some "redundancy". The purpose

Dagligen möts vi av bilder på barn som vårdnadshavare har publicerat på sociala medier. Ett exempel på detta är Calle Schulmans Instagramkonto där videoklipp på hans femåriga dotter läggs upp regelbundet. Frågan uppkommer om, och i vilken utsträckning, en vårdnadshavare får publicera personlig information om sitt barn. Vilka rättsliga medel och möjligheter finns att tillgå för barn om de känner siDaily we encounter pictures of children on social media, published by their custodians. One example of this is the Instagram account of Calle Schulman, where video sequences of his five-year-old daughter are frequently published. This raises the question whether custodians are allowed to publish personal information in this manner. What legal measures and opportunities are available to children wh

En betydande del av alla offentliga upphandlingar leder till upprättande av ramavtal. Ramavtal är avtal som fastställer villkoren för kontrakt som senare ska tilldelas. EU-domstolen har i en dom från 2018 behandlat ett för upphandlingsområdet nytt fenomen. Domen rör takvolymer i ramavtal vilket avser en bestämd gräns för hur mycket som är tillåtet att avropa. Eftersom 2014 års direktiv och sedermA significant part of all public procurements leads to the conclusion of framework agreements. Framework agreements are agreements that define the terms of contracts to be awarded later. In a 2018 judgment, the European Court of Justice dealt with a new phenomenon for the procurement area. The judgment concerns determined volumes in framework agreements, which refer to a specific limit on how muc

March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declare the virus outbreak Covid19 as a pandemic. To prevent further outbreak, the Norwegian government has implemented the most drastic measures in Norway during peacetime. All schools have been forced to lock down, the number of unemployment has increased, and the population is encouraged to stay at home and keep social distance. In light of the cri

The study aimed to investigate social workers in the department of children in foster care experiences of their discretion in relation to parents requesting that their children move back home from foster care, a request called “hemtagningsbegäran” in Swedish. The study also aimed to research the social workers views of “Lex Lilla hjärtat”. The study was based on seven semi-structured qualitative i

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of coworking space as it relates to meeting the common goals of collaboration, community, and creativity for its members. Through a case study of a coworking space, the study seeks answers to questions as: “How can coworking spaces enhance community, collaboration, and creativity to create a better experience for their members?” and “Are

När vi lär oss av nya erfarenheter är minnen till en början detaljrika och kontextspecifika, och är lättare att plocka fram när inlärningssituationen återinrättas. Med tiden och upprepade framplockningar tenderar dock vissa minnen att förlora kontextuella detaljer (dekontextualiseras), och bli åtkomliga för framplockning i nya situationer (generaliseras). Denna studie gjordes i syfte att undersökaWhen we learn from new experiences, memories are initially detailed and context-specific, making them easier to retrieve when the learning situation is reinstated. Over time and repeated retrievals, however, some memories tend to lose contextual details (decontextualize) and become accessible for retrieval in new situations (generalize). This study aimed to investigate under which circumstances th

Brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning går ut på att brottsliga gärningar begångna av en man mot en kvinna som han är eller har varit gift med eller som han bor eller har bott tillsammans med under äktenskapsliknande förhållanden ska bedömas allvarligare om var och en av gärningarna utgjort led i en upprepad kränkning av personens integritet och gärningarna varit ägnade att allvarligt skada personens sThe crime of gross violation of a woman’s integrity is based on the fact that criminal acts committed by a man against a woman to whom he is, or has been, married or with whom he is, or has been cohabiting under circumstances similar to marriage, are to be assessed more seriously if each of the acts was part of a repeated violation of the person’s integrity and the acts were liable to severely dam

I denna uppsats beskrivs en lagändring som skedde 1863 som resulterade i att judar fick rätt att gifta sig med kristna i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen är att förstå den bakomliggande kontexten och att sätta lagstiftningsprocessen i ett sammanhang för att därefter jämföra denna med samma process i Danmark. På detta sätt undersöks vilka likheter och vilka skillnader som funnits mellan länderna. För The Enlightenment period brought new freedoms to the Jewish minority, established in Sweden after the Jewish Declaration of 1782. In 1838 the Jewish Declaration was abolished, however, no new regulations regarding intermarriage between Jews and Christians were established, and it remained that way until the legislation of 1863. As a result of the process of emancipation during the Enlightenment pe

This thesis explores the changing symbolic meanings of parliamentary buildings in Georgia and Ukraine. It focuses on how these spaces evolved from symbols of Soviet authority to main sites of resistance and political struggle through protest movements. The study offers a comparative analysis of Georgia and Ukraine through six key events that illustrate the symbolic transformation of the parliament

Despite increased attention to gender equality in entrepreneurship, women remain significantly underrepresented in entrepreneurship and receive a disproportionately small share of funding. One underexplored factor contributing to this disparity is gendered questioning during investor pitches. The study aimed to explore how gendered questioning shapes confidence and self-perception, and to investig

Agriculture in India is characterised by low productivity, and structural change has been slow and unconventional. Nevertheless, at state-level one can identify different patterns for these process. The attempt in this work has been to understand the linkages between farm mechanisation, agricultural productivity and structural change at the state-level during the post-reform period. The aim was to

Axelfrakturer hos äldre - En biomekanisk analys Av alla frakturer är ungefär 6% axelnära frakturer, eller proximala humerusfrakturer som de också kallas. Det är den tredje vanligaste frakturen hos äldre och 80% av de som drabbas är kvinnor. År 2030 förväntas den här typen av frakturer vara tre gånger fler jämfört med idag på grund av den ständigt åldrande populationen. Riskfaktorer för proximala h6 % of all fractures are located at the proximal humerus. Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture amongst elderly and 80 % of the patients are women. Today there are no existing standardized treatment protocol for elderly with this kind of injury. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f
