This thesis investigates similarities and differences between Emily Brontë’s Heathcliff and Anne Brontë’s Huntingdon. Moreover, their conduct is compared to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masculinities. Neither of the two characters corresponds with ideal masculine behaviour.

The city of Helsingborg wishes to see an increase in bicycle traffic. One of the measures that have been taken to achieve this is to build elevated bicycle crossings at intersections between bicycle paths and carriageways. This thesis deals with the particular kind of elevated bicycle crossing that is situated at the intersection between a main street with a bicycle path alongside it and a side st

Vi undersöker huruvida rörelser på växelkursmarknaderna hos fyra olika par av växelkurser kan förutspås av en VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) baserad på de makroekonomiska variabler som ingår i akademiskt vedertagna monetära modeller. En långsiktig modell med ovan nämnda variabler byggs upp för att sedan kontrolleras efter ett långsiktigt samband och omvandlas till en mer dynamisk form, en så

Tjugo år senare är vapenembargot fortfarande i kraft, trots att flera medlemsländer återkommande har föreslagit att det ska hävas. Det finns många komplicerade förhållanden som gör att eventuella försök att antingen skärpa eller häva EU:s vapenThe European Union issued an arms embargo on China as a reaction to the repression of the protests at the Tiananmen Square in June 1989. Today, twenty years later, the arms embargo on China is still not lifted, even though several member states have suggested it. Several complicated issues are connected with the lifting of the arms embargo. The shape is significantly different from the other EU
