The aim of this paper is to make an investigation of how authoritative conceptual framework about immigrants as a group is being constituted in the discourse regarding Swedish language for immigrants. I will also examine what connections there are to the overarching integration discourse. While doing this I try to establish the contrasting relationship between the ?Swedishness? and ?the Other?. My
Denna uppsats undersöker hur begreppet "original" ställs på kant i samband med adaptioner av litterära verk. Först klarläggs de teoretiska verktyg som sedan kommer appliceras på Cormac McCarthys roman No Country for Old Men för att ta reda på hur publiken som tar del av de olika verken, film som roman, i en viss ordning kommer betrakta det verk som tas del av först som ett original. Dett
This thesis is devoted to examining the recently established human rights regime within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), consisting of the ASEAN Charter, the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), and the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Women and Children (ACWC). The overall purpose is study if the regime will ensure better adherence of h
Public Private Partnership, PPP, is a public procurement method involving the private sector used in several countries all over the world, now upcoming in Sweden. The UK, most prominent within this method, states that it offers good value for money, but the economic and financial benefits of PPP are still uncertain and subjects of debate. In order for the projects to be successful and to achieve v
The National Innovation System (NIS) is an interactive model of innovation that has the potential of better enhancing the use of knowledge for economic development. This approach is increasingly capturing the attention of developing economies as a means of utilizing knowledge for economic growth. This paper assesses how the NIS concept is being embraced in the East African (EA) region. It does so
Although self-harm is a common behavior and exists in many contexts, previous research on tolerance and attitudes has focused primarily on health care providers. Less is known about tolerance toward self-harm in the general population. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no scale assessing public tolerance toward self-harm. For this purpose, a brief scale was constructed and tested fo
Machine Learning (ML) applications shape, and are shaped by, human values. In the last decade classificatory models have become the most widely applied type of ML. However, since the invention of Generative Adverserial Networks (GANs) in 2014, the field of generative ML is likely to become equally prolific in the years to come. GANs can generate convincing fakes of video footage, pictures, graphic
One of the most important routes to employment within the social welfare sector worldwide is higher education, which equips students not only with the knowledge for employment, but with the tools to use and build on this knowledge. During the last few decades there has been an academic drift in professional education, especially for many shorter professional programmes. Many of these shorter progr
Under de senaste åren har flera författare granskat de kliniska resultaten av Electro Enhanced Chemotherapy:• Elektrokemoterapi för primär hudcancer och hudmetastas i samband med andra maligniteter (Reinhold, 2011).• Utnyttjande av elektrokemoterapi vid behandling av melanom (Testori et al., 2012).• Antitumörverkan av elektrokemoterapi: En systematisk granskning och meta-analys (Mali et al., 2013)In recent years several authors have reviewed the clinical results of Electro Enhanced Chemotherapy: • Electro-chemotherapy for primary skin cancer and skin metastasis related to other malignancies (Reinhold, 2011). • Utility of electro-chemotherapy in melanoma treatment (Testori et al., 2012).• Antitumor effectiveness of electro-chemotherapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis (Mali et al., 20
Time-dependent ensemble averages, i.e., trajectory-based averages of some observable, are of importance in many fields of science. A crucial objective when interpreting such data is to fit these averages (for instance, squared displacements) with a function and extract parameters (such as diffusion constants). A commonly overlooked challenge in such function fitting procedures is that fluctuations
Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr
The aim of this study was to identify and measure time-consuming human modelling tool activities. Five human modelling tool users at Volvo were observed for five days each. The results showed a wide distribution of both indirect and direct working tasks, as well as non-value added tasks such as waiting time. Most of the activities identified appear to be necessary to perform human modelling simula
