Malmö Centralstation - ett gränstillstånd

This essay investigates how Malmö Central Station can be understood in relation to the con-cept of liminality, how it is part of a social and architectural transition between everyday life, in a city, and a travelling state. The concept of liminality is based on Victor W. Turner’s an-thropological theory of transition rites. The essay also investigates how modernity in general and the railway in p

Urbanization and Density in Zanzibar - Recommendations for Sustainable Urban Development from Swahili Houses to Apartment Houses

Urbanization and Density in Zanzibar - Recommendations for Sustainable Urban Development from Swahili houses to low-rise multi-storey houses. The rapid urbanization process in Africa is a major challenge for politicians, urban planners and society in general. The archipelago of Zanzibar in Tanzania is in the middle of this process. Traditionally, low and middle income families live in Swahili hous

Resemblance Between Universals

In this paper I evaluate a problem with the partial identity theory and solutions as suggested by Eddon and Morganti. Resemblances exist not only between objects, but between universals. Hence, the mass universal of a 1kg object resembles the mass universal of a 3 kg object and the mass universal of a 100kg object. Resemblances between such universals, referred to as quantitative universals, are p

Priming time: The relationship between subjective time and retrospective time perception

This study considered the question whether retrospective time perception was affected by priming the experimental condition to be more aware of subjective time during the experience of the target duration. Awareness of subjective time was operationalized by the direction of attention toward a running stop-watch, while participants were shown images for various durations on which they were later te

Nonexistence Theorems for Perfect Codes over Finite Fields

In this survey, we consider the trivial perfect codes which are the binary repetition codes of odd length and all codes that only contain one code word. We also take into acount, the Hamming codes as well as the two perfect Golay codes. We then prove that there do not exist any perfect codes over finite fields others than the ones above, using Lloyd's theorem.

Vägar genom Trafikverkets webbplats

Syftet med uppsatsen var att bedöma mottagaranpassningen på de delar av Trafikverkets webbplats som beskriver byggprojekten för väg. Det innebar närmare att undersöka på vilket sätt sidorna för ett enskilt projekt hölls samman och hur informationen var fördelad mellan sidorna, eftersom det är en viktig del i att utforma en webbplats på ett begripligt sätt. Till min hjälp hade jag information från

Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis of Iron Aluminides

Materials and component production steadily needs to become more effective since newer projects might have a finite amount of resources. The reasoning why powder metallurgy and particulate materials processing is chosen as a topic for this thesis is because of the potential to minimize the manufacturing waste. Instead of utilizing wasteful cutting and grinding processing steps to gain the final sh

Thermal properties of concrete with different Swedish aggregate materials

Earlier studies show that different concrete aggregates have different thermal properties, and from this an idea to optimize thermal properties of concrete was developed. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate thermal properties of concrete so additional costs and negative environmental impacts can be minimized. Measurements of thermal properties of different Swedish aggregates from e

The Great Irish Welcome? - Uneasy multicultural relations on Dublin's Moore Street market.

Moore Street is a market street in central Dublin which in recent years has transformed into one of the most multicultural streets in the city. The street traders that have been a presence on the street for generations are now working next to shop-keepers from a diverse range of countries. As such it is often held up as a positive example of multiculturalism. The purpose of this thesis is to exami

No title

Numerous researches on the acquisition of a second language show that the learner acquire the syntactic structures of a language in a certain order, independent of the order they have been introduced to learner. Bartning and Schlyter (2004) have designed an itinerary with six stages of development that show the expected development of the acquisition of French L2 by Swedish adults in oral producti

Swedish relative clause extractions: The Small Clause Hypothesis

On the basis of data from Swedish, this thesis investigates the Small Clause Hypothesis put forth by Kush et al. (2013). The hypothesis is suggested to account for the rare possibility of relative clause extraction, a phenomenon that poses a challenge for syntactic theories of locality. In brief, the hypothesis states that the possibility to extract from relative clauses is restricted to cases whe

Temporalitet och styrbarhet. Omställningsmöjligheter i en era av kris och kontingens

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om den samhälleliga styrbarhetens möjlighet och problematiseras i enlighet med samhällets ökande förändringsbenägenhet och känslan av att samhället accelererar okontrollerbart. Den observationen har fått många forskare och kulturteoretiker att tala om samhället som en kontingenskultur där både erfarenhet och förväntan grumlas, där det inte finns en stabil och pålitlig gr

Hjälpande faktorer vid återhämtningen hos tio brukare med diagnosen schizofreni

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som varit av betydelse vid återhämtningen hos tio brukare med diagnosen schizofreni. Delsyftet med studien har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som haft positiv respektive negativ betydelse för brukarnas återhämtningsprocess. En kvalitativ ansats användes för att uppnå resultatet. Resultatet pekar på fyra faktorer som viktiga för återhämtThe purpose of this paper has been to describe which factors that played a role in the recovery of ten patients with a schizophrenia diagnosis. A part of the purpose was to describe which factors that had a negative or positive bearing on the individuals’ recovery process. A qualitative approach was used to achieve the results. The results indicate four factors that were important for the recovery

När har beskattning skett i strid med ett dubbelbeskattningsavtal och vad blir konsekvenserna för den enskilde?

Denna uppsats behandlar förhållandet mellan folkrätt och intern rätt inom området skatterätt. Uppsatsens syfte är att fastställa när ett skatteavtalsbrott har skett och om den enskilde skattebetalaren har möjlighet att hålla staten ansvarig och kräva skadestånd från staten om staten bryter mot ett skatteavtal. För att underlätta för läsare att förstå analysen görs en genomgång av monism och dualThe subject for this thesis is the relationship between international public law and national law in the area of taxation. The purpose of the thesis is to establish what is a tax treaty override and if it’s possible for an individual taxpayer to hold the state liable and claim damages against the state for breaching a tax treaty. In order to make it easier for the reader to understand the analys

Effekter av en internetbaserad stressbehandling

Tjugosju deltagare, studenter med egenrapporterad stressproblematik, rekryterades genom utskick till institutioner vid olika universitet och randomiserades till att ingå i en experimentgrupp (n=13) eller en kontrollgrupp i form av en väntelista (n=14). Experimentgruppen fick genomgå ett internetbaserat stressbehandlingsprogram. Det utfördes en för- och eftermätning avseende upplevd stress, utmattTwenty seven participants, students with self-reported stress problems, were recruited through email to different university institutions and were randomly assigned to two different groups, experimental (n=13) or in the form of a waiting list control (n=14). The experimental group was subjected an Internet-based stress treatment program. A pre and post-measurement was conducted regarding perceived
