This study aims to explore the utilization of emotions in provi

The sport of football is commonly perceived as a domain traditionally associated with masculinity, thereby marginalizing women who, as female fans, constantly encounter societal expectations regarding their genuine passion for the game. To achieve the status of being perceived as authentic, they often are ‘forced’ to negotiate their gender identities so that their fandom identity becomes evident.

The cellphone footage of Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old white man in his twenties, choking the life out of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black man, in a New York City subway car during the summer of 2023 made headlines around the globe. The story took off in part because it was identified by the press as existing within the long history of American vigilantism, one that dates to the very founding of th

Environmental journalism is crucial to the global understanding of the impact that climate change and other environmental disasters have on billions of people globally. Public and policymakers' understanding of climate change is strongly influenced by the media. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an analysis of how UN Conferences of Parties, COP28 in Dubai in 2023, were covered in Russian

The experience of illness can often result in isolation, leaving individuals with a difficult decision to make—to disconnect from their everyday lives or to seek out alternative connections. In our modern society, people often strongly desire to connect with voices they can relate to. This study focuses on the role of Facebook in providing support to women suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG

This thesis deploys ethnographic tools in a qualitative case study to explore the internet community, Female Dating Strategy (FDS). As narratives surrounding the “crisis of masculinity” are popularised within politics and mainstream media, the objective of research becomes to scrutinise these conceptualisations. This thesis does so by focusing on the field of intimacy and sexuality, by raising the

The purpose of the paper is to examine whether children's rights are reflected in the policies of the Swedish government and the Sweden Democrats for the 2022-2026

I detta arbete undersöks hur interfolierat lärande i matematikundervisningen påverkar elevernas prestationer inom ämnet och hur eleverna upplever undervisning i praktiken. Interfolierat lärande innebär att eleverna undervisas genom att metoder och områden blandas istället för det traditionella där områden oftast behandlas enskilt. I matematiken kan detta innebära att uppgifter från olika områden b

Korslimmat trä (KL-trä) är ett konstruktionsmaterial som består av korsvis limmade brädor i flera lager. Det har god bärförmåga och används till bärande konstruktioner, främst som väggar och bjälklag. I dagens diskussion om miljö- och klimatfrågor tas användningen av träprodukter ofta upp som en del i att minska byggbranschens klimatpåverkan. I traditionellt KL-trä är brädorna orienterade med 90°

På senare år har utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens (AI) gått i raketfart och AI-verktyg som kan användas för avancerade kognitiva och perceptuella uppgifter dyker upp i alla områden av livet. Det tog inte lång tid innan det även insågs att AI kunde användas inom litteraturen och konsten. På sekunder kan avancerade litterära och konstnärliga verk numera åstadkommas med ett enkelt knapptryck, The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated rapidly in recent years, and AI tools that can be used for advanced cognitive and perceptual tasks are appearing in all areas of life. It did not take long before it was also realized that AI could be used for literature and art. In a matter of seconds, advanced works of art and literature can be produced at the touch of a button usin

Klimatomställningar har gjorts inom de flesta delar av transportsektorn, som ofta pekas ut som boven i dramat när det kommer till utsläpp av koldioxid. Bilar som går på elektricitet är ett typiskt exempel. Denna omställning är svårare att göra när det gäller flygindustrin. Elektriska flygplan är inte realistiska just nu då batterierna hade behövt vara enorma. Fördelen med flytande bränslen är attThe aviation industry is a contributor to the global greenhouse gas emissions. Moving away from fossil-based fuels has proven to be more difficult than expected. One possibility for the aviation industry is the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), produced from renewable sources such as biomass and waste. Certain problems have been discovered with using SAFs, however. The fuels are us

Densiteten I stadens utveckling utmanar oss arkitekter till att skapa bra arkitektur i stadsrummet. Staden växer och skapar nya förutsättningar i människans vardag. Staden förtätas och då brist på bra centralt placerad mark blir väldigt påfrestande så skapas nya urbana typologier. Jag vill i mitt examensarbete arbeta vidare på denna problematik och undersöka mer specifikt, hur ser bostaden ut i The density of the city’s development challenges us architects to create good architecture in the urban space. The city grows and creates new conditions in people’s everyday lives. The city is densified and when the lack of good centrally located sites becomes very challenging, new urban typologies are created. In my master thesis, I work further on this problem and investigate more on what hous

Entreprenadrätten skiljer sig från traditionell avtalsrätt genom sina specifika särdrag samt den utbredda användningen av standardavtal. Konsumenttjänst-lagen tillämplig lag för konsumententreprenader. Villaägarnas riksförbund har tagit fram standardavtalet ABS 18 som ett komplement till KtjL. Eftersom avtalsfrihet råder kan det ske, att parterna ingår avtal med AB 04 eller ABT 06. Om ett standardSwedish construction law differs from traditional contract law due to its spe-cific features and the widespread use of standardized contracts. The Consumer Services Act (Konsumenttjänstlagen) is the applicable law for consumer con-struction contracts. The Homeowners' Association has also developed the standardized contract ABS 18 as a complement to the law. Since contractual freedom prevails,

Ett undantagsavtal är ett avtal mellan parterna som tillåter dem att på förhand avtala bort vissa eller alla grunder för att klandra en skiljedom enligt 34 § la-gen om skiljeförfarande (LSF). Uppsatsen undersöker sådana avtal i skiljeför-farande och dess påverkan på legitimitet och effektivitet i tvistelösningen. Skiljeförfarande är en metod som har vuxit i popularitet, särskilt för kommer-siella An exclusion agreement is an agreement between the parties allowing them to waive certain or all grounds for challenging an arbitral award under Section 34 of the Swedish Arbitration Act (LSF). The thesis investigates such agree-ments in arbitration and their impact on the legitimacy and efficiency of dis-pute resolution. Arbitration has gained popularity, particularly for commercial disputes, due
