This thesis explores the experiences of radio talk show participants in Liberia, using the Okay Morning Rush of Okay FM as a case study. The thesis probes the Liberian perspective of how talk shows give voice to citizens in public discourses and the resulting experiences for both the participants and the society. It considers the theoretical and analytical scope of Habermas public sphere and Goffm

This thesis aims to explore the transnational experiences of Brazilian immigrants living in Sweden. As a contribution to media and migration studies, this research investigates the immigrants’ non-mediated and mediated practices that influence their sense of belonging in the host country. There is scarce research comprising Brazilian immigrants abroad, particularly in Sweden, compared to other Lat

What was it that prompted a security policy-differentiated action between Sweden and Denmark as a counter action to the Russian power built up with landing ships in the Baltic Sea region mid-January 2022? This study will try to provide answers to this. We look at it as a comparative case study with two of Keren Yarhi-Milo´s theories from the book The Behavior thesis: Knowing the adversary from 201

This thesis explores the new and contemporary audiences and fans’ studies with the genre of reality competition shows, using the Korean show Street Woman Fighter (2021) as a case study. A qualitative interview method was used to collect the empirical data of the study, and qualitative data analysis was employed to understand the data. The research takes the standpoint theory (Harding, 2008) to des

Metal objects can cause significant artefacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, cause loss of signal and what is known as geometric warping. There are ways to address these problems using different MRI sequences. This project looks at a newer method of artefact correction proposed by Månsson and Morin. The aim is to improve upon the main two faults of the method. The method makes use of a

In the early 20th century liberalism had an upswing. New treaties were signed, and the everlasting peace had finally arrived. In the Far East, Japan was emerging from an agricultural society and making major leaps toward industrialization. They had huge demands in recourses like oil and steel. As an emerging power Japan wanted to compare themselves with USA, Great Britain, and Germany. Their imper

Since the end of the cold war, Sweden's security policy has shifted from neutrality to a policy of solidarity. The deteriorating security situation in recent years in the Baltic sea region and in Europe has increased the political will in Sweden to implement and develop defence co-operation with other states. Swedish-Finnish defence co-operation is the most developed of Sweden's different

År 1987 infördes den första demokratiska reformen i Sydkorea, vilket har bidragit till att landet idag är en välutvecklad liberaldemokrati. Nordkorea har fortsatt bedriva en auktoritär regim sedan Koreas splittring 1945. Den här uppsatsen behandlar Nord- och Sydkoreas olika politiska utveckling sedan 1980-talet. Det är en komparativ studie med mest-lika design där orsakerna till ländernas olika po

This essay is an iconographic analysis of a specific mosaic called the Hunting mosaic, found at Villa del Tellaro, a late Roman villa near Noto, Sicily. Interpretations of Tellaro's Hunting mosaic have already been included in previous studies, leading some scholars to a similar conclusion regarding the identification of the two large, central figures: a female, and a male. Due to the extensiv

Motivation: 3D brain organoids are biological models of human brain development from which a rich body of data can be extracted that allows for insights about neuronal dynamics. Several tools, such as fluorescence calcium imaging microscopy and electrophysiological recordings are being used to assess how 3D brain organoid dynamics recapitulate what is known from the human brain. In-silico automate

Bästa att var blå eller brun fjärilshona? Solen skiner och fjärilarna cirkulerar runt bland dina blommor. Har du någon gång funderat på varför fjärilar ofta är så färgrika? Här i Sverige har vi ca 400 dagfjärilar och en av de allra vanligaste är en liten men färgglad vid namn puktörneblåvinge (Polyommatus icarus). Hannarna är ljusblå med en stilren svart konturlinje och honorna varierar mellan atButterfly wing coloration and pattern are believed to be shaped by selection pressures arising from the needs of thermoregulation, as signals to conspecifics, or reducing predation risk. The Common Blue Butterfly (Polyommatus icarus) display a large variation in dorsal wing blueness among females. The gradual pattern of brown to blue wings varies between individual females and among populations in

There are many unknowns regarding the interaction between fungi and their surroundings. In this project, we took a closer look at hyperspectral images of several fungal strains on two different substrates. The project mainly consisted of developing a code for the classification of fungal strains and the extraction of information from it. The classifier used hyperspectral images in infrared of four

Okunskap och felaktig blandning av läkemedelsingredienser riskerar patientsäkerheten För att läkemedel ska vara säkra används tillsatsämnen, men en felaktig blandning av dessa kan i stället leda till oönskade effekter. Denna studie har undersökt vid vilka mängder som det går att blanda två typer av tillsatsämnen som är kända för att vara inkompatibla. Patienter som behöver ta en viss typ av medPreservatives and non-ionic surfactants are frequently used in biological drugs for multiple dosage. However, the most commonly used surfactants and preservatives are known to be incompatible with each other, leading to the solution becoming turbid due to precipitation. This study aims to investigate at which concentration regions precipitation occurs between non-ionic surfactants (polysorbate

FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter antogs av FN:s generalförsamling den 20 november 1989, och ratificerades av Sverige 1990. Sedan dess är Sverige folkrättsligt bunden att följa konventionen. Barnkonventionen är uppbyggd kring fyra ledande principer. Två av dessa, som ligger i fokus för denna uppsats, är principen om barnets bästa i artikel 3 och barnets rätt att komma till tals enligt artikelThe UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 20, 1989, and ratified by Sweden in 1990. Since then, Sweden has been bound by international law to comply with the Convention. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is built around four guiding principles. Two of these, which are the focus of this essay, are the principle of the best interests of t

BAKGRUND. Enligt världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) beräknas 3,6% av världens befolkning lida av någon form av ångestsyndrom och 4,4% av depression. Ångest innefattar en känsla av oro, rädsla eller panik, men även olika ångestsyndrom såsom social ångest, agorafobi och posttraumatisk stressyndrom. Depression innebär en känsla av nedstämdhet och vanliga symtom är brist på energi och motivation och avsa

Sverige och omvärlden står inför en framtid med en åldrande befolkning. Med åldern ökar risken för att drabbas av demenssjukdom. I kombination gör dessa faktorer att antalet personer med demenssjukdomar ökar. Det ställs allt större krav på hälso- och sjukvård och socialtjänst på att de ska möta de utmaningar som denna patientgrupp ställer upp. Vård ska som huvudregel i så väl Sverige som Norge gSweden has an ageing population. A problem which it shares with most other developed countries. As a person age, the risk of developing dementia increase. The ageing population constitutes a major challenge for the health care and social welfare systems. Health care in Sweden and Norway can, generally, only be provided on voluntary basis. The Instrument of Government in Sweden explicitly prohibi

A comparison is made to the Swedish Tax Procedure act. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the regulation constitutes an adequate creditor protection, based on these two acts. To meet this aim, a review of the rules in Chapte

Bilförmåner har kommit att bli ett allt vanligare upplägg i både svenska och danska anställningsförhållanden. Med bilförmån menas att arbetsgivaren tillhandahåller en tjänstebil till arbetstagaren som denne kan bruka privat, ofta istället för kontant lön. Samtidigt bygger båda ländernas rättssystem på neutralitetsprincipen, där varje inkomst i inkomstslaget tjänst ska beskattas lika oavsett om detABSTRACT Over the past few years company cars have become a more and more useful and prominent component within the Swedish employment conditions. A similar development can be seen in Denmark. Furthermore, both the Swedish and the Danish regulation in regards to employment benefits is based on the principle of neutrality, whereby every income related to a person's employment is to be taxed acc

As global average temperatures are rising, the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has ramped up its anti-climate but pro environmental protection politics. As this focus is nascent, the question of how and for whom does the political ecology of the AfD articulates meaning has yet received little attention.
