This essay examines the Twilight fandom and the experience of being a fan. Our main purpose is to show the fandom culture from the fan’s point of view. This ambition stems from the notion that the Twilight fans themselves seldom are addressed and allowed to speak in their own words in regards to what it means to be a Twilight fan and how they pratice their fandom. The mediated discourses tends to

Sleep plays a vital role in physical and mental functioning. It is increasingly recognized that disturbed sleep is a highly prevalent and chronic condition that merits greater awareness due to the wide-ranging and serious repercussions associated with it. Nocturia is one of the causes of sleep disturbance and has been shown to impair functioning, quality of life, health and productivity, with thos
Transient heat and mass transport in a wall-cooled tubular catalytic bed reactor is numerically investigated. A two-dimensional pseudo-heterogeneous model, accounting for transport in the solid and fluid phases, with axial and radial dispersions is used to describe transport in the reactor. The effects of inlet process conditions, viz., temperature and concentration, are investigated and their imp
Frågan om bevisning utgör en viktig fråga även i skiljeförfaranden. I synnerhet skriftlig bevisning är viktig då den överlag anses vara mer tillförlitlig än muntlig sådan. Det är därför av vikt att part får tillgång till all skriftlig bevisning, även sådan som motpart eller annan kan tänkas inneha. Om dessa dokument frivilligt företes av part eller tredje man uppstår inga problem. Problemen börjar
The aim of this study was to highlight the relationship between individuals with professional social work education and social work practice, and how it could be understood from an employer’s point of view by using the theoretical framework of employability. In order to do so, we have conducted seven semi-structured interviews with people who are working as unit managers, operation managers or hum
This paper will examine the underlying identity processes of the European Space Agency. The aim is to discover how this agency is presenting itself and why, by using narrative analysis. Narrative analysis has proven to be effective in coming close to a subject’s performed identity. Theories from corporate communications and organisational studies have inspired the portrayal of ESA as a personified
Dubbel ickebeskattning på grund av tillämpning av skatteavtal kan definieras som den skattemässiga effekt som inträder då varken hemviststaten eller källstaten har något beskattningsanspråk i förhållande till en viss inkomst men där inkomsten skulle ha beskattats av någon stat i frånvaro av skatteavtalet. Hittills har intresset och förståelsen för de bakomliggande orsakerna varit begränsad och detTax treaty induced double non–taxation may be defined as the non–imposition of tax on certain income by both Contracting States, where the income would be subject to taxation absent the treaty. Up to now, there has been limited interest in, and appreciation of, the underlying causes, and there has been a lack of systematic review as to which strategies are deemed most appropriate for avoiding unin
There is no doubt that the construction industry needs to streamline its processes. There are four different ways to streamline the processes; Building Information Modelling (BIM), Lean Construction, industrialized building and partnering. In this examination paper we have investigated the possibility to streamline a specified company’s processes whit lean and BIM. More specific we have investigat
Malawi Social Cash Transfer scheme is a social protection program designed to alleviate poverty, reduce malnutrition and improve school enrolment by delivering a regular cash grant targeting ultra-poor and labour-constrained households. In contrast to many experiences in Latin America in which the woman is necessarily, or preferably, the beneficiary of the household who gets the program grant, in
This paper investigates the role of sound and listening in establishing newsensory connections with the environment. Climate change is affecting the wayour environment sounds and we need to expand our sense of listening to tunein to those new registers. Through the development of a digital prototype forspeculative sound co-creation, this study explores ways to engage with ourchanging environment b
In this workshop, we explore the question: How can we use our senses toknow trees and foster ecological empathy through interdisciplinary methodsacross landscape design, sound art, and dance/movement? We inviteparticipants to develop sensory responses to real or imaginary trees asimpetus for sonic kinesthetic expression. The workshop will encourageinteraction with trees to reveal the aliveness and
Abstract Since the late 1970’s, China has rapidly increased its exports of industrial products and inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) through the use of special economic areas (SEA), which offer special benefits to foreign investors and export producers. Common criticism against these SEAs, usually states that these areas show persistent low-standard working conditions and wages to remain c
Skånemejerier is a dairy cooperative in the region of Skåne in southern Sweden. It collects milk from roughly 500 farmers around the region on a daily basis. Skånemejerier has developed an IT system that allows end consumers to ‘trace’ their milk to a number of farms that each have contributed to the milk in a specific milk carton. There is a code on the top of Skånemejerier milk cartons which is
According to the World Bank Group, social capital is an important factor in the process of fighting poverty in developing countries, and some researchers mean that cooperative organizations are the ultimate business model to create social capital (Majee & Hoyt, 2011). The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not social capital is emerging in a Philippine water cooperative, funded by
There has recently been an increased interest among academic scholars on the importance of elections as a promoter for democratic change in semi-democratic contexts. This thesis positions itself somewhat on the side of this debate asking; when do elections in electoral authoritarian regimes result in democratic consequences? Recognising that elections can be as well a tool for democratic empo
A small, nucleotide-binding domain, the ATP-cone, is found at the N-terminus of most ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalytic subunits. By binding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) it regulates the enzyme activity of all classes of RNR. Functional and structural work on aerobic RNRs has revealed a plethora of ways in which dATP inhibits activity by inducing oligome
When treating pregnant women with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), clinicians have to balance potential fetal adverse effects against the risks of uncontrolled maternal disease. Only recently have emerging scientic data provided a rational basis for treatment decisions considering both aspects. The focus of research is currently moving from the first to the second AED generation. Lamotrigine is relativ
