In this thesis, I examine changes within the feminist discourse on Christology. I seek to answer the questions ‘how can we understand the gender of Jesus Christ and how it does affect our salvation’? To answer the question, I make a comparison between what I propose are two generations of feminist theology. I first present the theology of Rosemary Radford Ruether. Ruether’s Sexism and God-Talk is

This thesis studies the ways in which the concept of honor is presented in the novels The Time of the Hero (1962) by Mario Vargas Llosa and Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) by Gabriel García Márquez. After defining what honor is, an investigation of how this concept is presented in the novels and the role it plays in these two literary works will take place. Also, the portrayal of honor in the
With a novel path index design, called the Shortcut Index, we partially solve the problem of executing traversal queries on dense neighborhoods in a graph database. We implement our design on top of the graph database Neo4j but it could be used for any graph database that uses the labeled property graph model. By using a B+ tree, the Shortcut Index can achieve what we call neighborhood locality a
This study is concerned with the subject of the resource curse. When countries discover significant natural resource reserves they counterintuitively exhibit dropping growth rates despite its high world market price. Several researchers have studied this phenomenon and labelled it the “resource curse”. They have tracked it to a number of causes, including how massive mineral windfalls affect the p
The main goal of this master thesis project was to take a manually controlled consumer quality quadrocopter and build the foundations which allows it to be autonomously controlled. This was achieved by introducing a exterior frame of reference through the use of a webcam coupled with image analysis algorithms. The position and rotation of the quadrocopter was identified, and several control struct
Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country. By reducing trade tariffs and barriers, moving from a socialistic economic system and removing state monopoly on major exports, it is believed that a developing country will increase its income and economic growth while ben

The goal of condition-based maintenance (CBM) is to base the decisions whether or not to perform maintenance on information collected from the machine or component of interest. A condition-based maintenance tool should be able to diagnose if the component of interest is in a state of failure but the ultimate goal of a CBM tool is to be able to estimate time until failure, either in terms of remain
Denna uppsats undersöker hur vårt förhållande till krukväxter utifrån ett klassperspektiv kan spegla olika subjektspositioner. Syftet är att genom intervjuer med krukväxtägare visa på krukväxtens funktion i deras subjektspositionering. Materialet består av transkriberade intervjuer med sex olika informanter i deras hem.

What mechanism should be designed to allocate PhD applicants to universities in Sweden? We introduce the Swedish PhD admissions problem, and it is influenced by the college admissions problem (Gale and Shapley 1962) and the student placement problem (Balinski and Sönmez 1999). In order to “solve” this problem, we design a novel mechanism, namely the compromise algorithm. We propose three theorems
