Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna avhandling studerar relationer mellan film och historia. Tesen som drivs är följande: Film utgör ett i stora delar outnyttjat historiskt källmaterial som alltid säger mer av empiriskt värde om sin produktionskontext än det gör om perioden som skildras. Denna tes bygger vidare på resonemang kring film och historia som genom åren har framlagts av företrädesvis historThe hypothesis put forward in this thesis stipulates that films always say more of empirical value about the time in which they are produced than they do about the periods they depict. The aim is not only to prove that such an idea is valid, but also that it might be transformed into a new and applicable theory in studies of film and history. Here, this is done in contextualized analyses of the pr

By ratifying ILO Conventions, ILO Member States undertake to bring national legislation and practice into full compliance with these international labour instruments. However, the question remains whether the countries actually implement their international commitments. The assessment of national compliance with the ratified ILO Standards may help to find out the good practices to be followed by

The objectives of this paper was to; examine if risk preferences are stable across different distribution contexts, in line with the prediction of the expected utility theory (EUT); if the range frequency theory (RFT) (Parducci, 1965) can account for observed choice behaviour in a hypothetical investment scenario; and lastly, analyse the potential factors that can account for the individual differ

An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I en mosse i södra Sverige, som heter Viss mosse, har fynd av trädstammar gjorts. Fynden gäller ek, bok och al. Denna horisont med trädstammar tyder på att miljön på mossen var förhållandevis torr när träden levde, eftersom det normalt sett är för blött på en mosse för att ekar och bokar ska kunna växa där. Kol-14-dateringar visar att träden dog för cirka 3 200 Findings of a tree stump horizon in Viss mosse, a raised bog in Scania, southern Sweden, indicate relatively dry conditions on the bog during the lifetime of the trees . 14C-datings show that the trees died about 3 200 years ago. Four peat cores were collected from the bog in order to investigate whether climatically induced water level fluctuations were responsible for establishemt and death of t

Skiljeförfarandet har vid sidan av den statliga rättskipningen länge utgjort ett populärt domstolsalternativ i näringslivet. Genom svenska åtaganden i Europakonventionen och FN har skiljeförfarandet i en allt större grad blivit ett gångbart alternativ. I svensk rätt innebär ett skiljeavtal ett dispositivt rättegångshinder. Det finns därför goda skäl att utreda vilka formella kriterier som ett skilArbitration has long been a popular court alternative in business alongside governmental administration of justice. Through commitments in the European Convention and the UN, arbitration has become a viable alternative on a larger scale. In Swedish law, arbitration agreements constitute a ground for inadmissibility. Therefore there is good reason to investigate which formal requirements a court of

The aim of this master thesis is to detect and recognise wheels in images by means of image analysis. This could later on serve as a foundation for a safer vehicle counting and classification method than those currently in use that requires personnel to cross the lanes on installation. The general layout of the classification system consists of five stages: multi-scale transformation, window ext

There have been many studies that deal with the poet Nizar Qabbani, as he is one of the poets who revolutionized in the Arab world in terms of addressing controversial issues in politics and society. He is also well-known for his powerful defence of women and his profuse mentioning of them in his poems. It is a recognized fact that Nizar’s poetic style is abundant in renewal and beauty, that his l

This thesis is about combining three archaeological themes; the interpretation of grave contexts, social identities and Iron Age jewellery has been given a place here. The aim was to discern which meanings and functions that can be connected to Migration Period bracteates in graves, and if so how they manifest in the context. Bracteates, small pendants dated to the Migration and Vendel periods, ha

The geo-electrical survey (resistivity and induced polarization) with different settings, arrangements, time base, spreads and waveforms (50% and 100% duty cycle waveform) was carried out over the Liikavaara depo-sit, near the Aitik mine, in northern Sweden and all the measured data was inverted in two different softwares: Res2Dinv and AarhusInv. Surveys of induced polarization (IP) often contain

The aim of this paper was to explore the perceptions and images of mental illness that is conveyed in the media form of internet magazines, more precisely in the discussion forums that are found below the articles.

The authoritarian Ba?th regime in power in Syria since 1966 has been challenged twice by popular contention. In the first case, ?The Islamic rebellion?, the episode of contention erupted into violence, in the second case, ?The Damascus Spring?, it did not. In both cases the challengers changed strategies and methods of contention adapting to their counterparts and the external environment. This s

Virtual Reality and advanced, interactive simulators illustrate the potentials of modern technology for improving the ecological validity of learning experiments. Yet much more preliminary work is needed to appreciate how these growingly complex means can be utilized to promote high-order emotional and motivational constructs of the user, such as self-efficacy.
