This bachelor’s thesis aims to analyze and compare how two contemporary theologians, Roger Haight, S.J. and Ted Peters, understand the genesis of the faith in Jesus’ resurrection and its significance for the Christian understanding of Jesus from Nazareth. In order to fulfill this aim, I have mainly studied Jesus: Symbol of God and Ted Peters’ God – The World’s Future. From this inquiry, I firstly

Urban trees are uniquely valuable in towns and cities for the ecosystem services they provide their citizens and can as such be considered a potent source of public goods and positive externalities - even when these trees are found on private properties. The importance of urban trees will only grow as events of severe heat and extreme rainfall become more and more frequent and the urgency to reduc

This study examines the role of small state soft power in shaping relations with external actors, using Rwanda as a case study. Rwanda’s military involvement in the escalating conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) stands in contrasts with the positive international image it has cultivated since the 1994 genocide. The country has positioned itself as an economic hub and enhance

The EU has for a long time been a credible member in the WTO, wherein trade partners need to comply with the EU´s regulations in order to import goods to the Single market. However, trade issues may arise from technical regulations, which could constitute non-tariff trade barriers. In the WTOs Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, members raise such issues, in order to facilitate trade. Since

Den juridiska frågan om i vilken utsträckning stater får tvångsrädda människor på internationellt vatten, har fått ny betydelse i och med migrationsflödet över centrala Medelhavet. Flera incidenter har visat att det finns såväl strategiska som rent överlevnadsbaserade grunder till att migranter och flyktingar motsätter sig räddning av vissa statsfartyg på Medelhavet. Denna uppsats syftar till att The legal question of State’s use of forcible measures to rescue people on international water has gained relevance in relation to the current migratory movements on the Mediterranean Sea. Multiple incidents have shown that there are strategic as well as pure survival motives for a migrant boat to refuse assistance. The aim of this thesis is to investigate to what extent States may use forcible me

The aim of this thesis is to investigate which the main determinants of capital structure in Swedish listed firms are and to identify which incentives lies behind managers choice of capital structure determinants. Further, the study investigates whether the Post Keynesian theory and theories which incorporate behavioral aspects can be used to explain the capital structure decisions or if the tradi

Several microbial pathogens have been reported to interact with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix. Here we demonstrate that M protein, a major surface-expressed virulence factor of the human bacterial pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes, mediates binding to various forms of GAGs. Hence, S. pyogenes strains expressing a large number of different types of M prot

The acceptable noise level (ANL) test is used to quantify the amount of competing background noise (BNL) that a listener is willing to accept when listening to speech at the most comfortable level (MCL). ANL is calculated by subtracting the BNL from the MCL. Most studies show large intersubject ANL variability and a few also demonstrate large intrasubject variability. Very few predictor variables

This essay tries to explore the dynamics of sisterhood as an important narrative aspect in Dodie Smith´s I Capture the Castle (1949) and Rachel Ferguson´s The Brontës Went to Woolworths (1931). Sisters mirror each other both within and outside the family. They can serve as convenient character types with distinct capabilities, strengths or weaknesses, while the family setting makes for excellent p

The purpose of this study was to analyze selected passages of the short story The South Wind by the Iraqi writer Abd el-Malik Nuri, which was done in order to find out how the description of characters, setting, and events, are related to class. The main research questions dealt with how the use of word choice and imagery are used in connection to the setting and characterization, but also how the

In the following Master’s thesis I examine two central concepts in the development of the Latin-American novel of the 20th century: the Marvelous Real (lo real maravilloso) and the American Baroque (lo barroco americano), both developed by the Cuban author Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980). In the study, following some biographical considerations, two original texts by Carpentier are presented; the fir

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is a tick-borne pathogen that causes Lyme disease. The characterization of membrane proteins from this and other pathogens may yield a better understanding of the mechanisms of infection and information useful for vaccine design. Characterization of the highly hydrophobic Borrelia outer membrane component P13 from a mutant (OspA- OspB- OspC- and OspD-) strain was un

The value of bacteriologic findings in patients with acute appendicitis was studied. Routine urinary culture specimens were taken preoperatively from 194 children (mean age 11±3 years) undergoing emergency appendectomy. Bacteria were found in culture specimens of urine from 26 of 156 patients with acute appendicitis. The bacteriuria was correlated to the position of the appendix, the duration of d

Artikeln behandlar ett Sidasamarbete mellan Malmö Museer och District Six Museum i Kapstaden.

The introduction of paid holidays during the interwar years democratized travel and laid the foundation for modern mass tourism. In European democracies, the right to paid leave found supporters from across the political spectrum who viewed it a means to improve the health of the labor force, increase industrial output, and safeguard family values. Workers also gained new leisure opportunities in
