My aim with this paper is to examine to what extent Saturday is a postmodern novel, and with that follows the question how much it adheres to the aesthetics of the realist genre. I will in the paper ask how the two different views of reality - realism and postmodernism -are dramatised thematically in the novel and how they are represented formally. To be able to answer that main research question

The thesis presents a synthetic approach to the concept of power structures within international regimes by combining neo-liberalism, realism and rational choice theory in a structure/agency approach. The theoretical argument is applied to a case study of the power structure within the GATT/WTO agricultural negotiations and its development from 1947 to 2004. The three primary actors in the analysi

ABSTRACT Questa tesi è dedicata alla specialità del linguaggio giuridico italiano. Ho ritenuto di dover distinguere tra una specialità necessaria ed una specialità non necessaria del linguaggio giuridico: la prima si colloca a livello lessicale (dove è indubitabile che il giurista non possa fare a meno di ricorrere a termini tecnici che servono a descrivere la molteplicità delle relazioni tra fat

Thid thesis concerns pre-Roman religion in Gaul, taking as its starting point Caesar's De bello Gallico. Caesar's account of the Gauls and their religious customs is compared with the accounts of Lucan, Pliny the elder and Ammianus Marcellinus. These are also compared to, and contrasted to, the archaeological evidence. There is some discussion of the nature of the common interpretations of

Denna uppsats består av en språksociologisk undersökning av namngivning och namntrender. Hur tänker vi när vi namnger våra barn? Är det viktigt att låta namn gå arv? Är det viktigt att vara originell? Hur mycket styr trender oss i våra namnval? Detta är några av de frågor jag har undersökt.

Uppläst fri vers upptar mycket liten plats inom den fonetiska och talteknologiska forskningen. Syntetiska modeller har ännu inte utarbetats för uppläst fri vers, troligen på grund av att det är svårt att fastställa poetiska effekter. Låg talhastighet och särskilda accent- och betoningsmönster är en del av en litterär konvention för den upplästa fria versen. Dessa parametrar är troligen knutna till

In this essay, I have studied the image of the drug abusing mother and her motherhood as seen in some of the social science literature on drug abusing women. This I did with a qualitative research design and with the questions: How is the drug abusing mother and her motherhood portrayed by social scientists? What signification is her motherhood given in her life by the researchers? What approac

In the last two decades something called ?the Eleatic Principle? has been quite frequent in philosophical literature. A wide range of philosophers have appealed to this principle when arguing for various theses but the principle itself has received comparatively little attention. Especially questions regarding the principle's justification are often ignored or only mentioned in passing. The

This Master's thesis concerns the public library as a public meeting place. Our aim has been to find out why and how the library as a social meeting place has been discussed within the Swedish library community and if there has been a constant core in the discussions from the mid 70's and up to the present day. In order to do this we apply a place and space-perspective. The result of the s

The aim of this study is to examine if the leadership style in Faiveley Transport Nordic Ltd has an impact on the psychosocial climate in the workplace. Henceforth, we have checked if the psychosocial climate influences the feeling of satisfaction that exists in the organization and if this in turn influences the degree of extra effort the employee chooses to impose on his or her task. In order to

The Choice Blindness-methodology has introduced a novel way of investigating the properties of confabulation in introspective verbal reports. Johansson et al (2005a) showed participants 15 picture-pairs of female faces and asked them to, for each pair, choose the one they found most attractive. By asking participants to motivate their choices and by, unknown to the participants, manipulating the o

The purpose of the numerical study was to investigate the influence of three different natural gas compositions on the combustion behaviour of an Advanced Environmental Vortex (AEV) burner. The flow conditions apply to the AEV burners installed in the Siemens gas turbine SGT-800. Numerical simulations were carried out using the software Chemkin 4. Ignition temperatures, adiabatic flame temper

Uppsatsen fokuseras kring högskoleutbildade kvinnor som befinner sig i en specifik arbetsmarknadspolitisk åtgärd. Åtgärden har en inriktning mot lärande och kompetens, kombinerat med arbetspraktik. Uppsatsen bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med fem av de kvinnliga deltagarna i åtgärden. Dessa kvinnors upplevelser av sitt lärande och de erfarenheter de gör är en av grundstenarna i arbetet.

Visual inspection in order to assure quality control is a challenging field that is attracting increasing interest after a long period of silence due to the trust and hope in computers and automation. Human visual inspection is however a challenging area as it requires the designer of the system to take in to account demands and limitations of technical, economic and psychological nature. This st

This thesis gives a thorough description of the icing mechanisms in gas turbines, the underlying physics of ice and ice types that can form in gas turbines. The primary intention of this thesis is to investigate the icing condition regions leading to ice formation in gas turbines. The icing problem in gas turbines is explained in detail in this thesis. The different ice types, icing mechanism

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vad det innebär för den enskilda individen att få fysisk aktivitet på recept (FaR), samt om deltagande i en FaR-grupp stimulerar till självständig fysisk aktivitet. Även vad som gör att individerna utnyttjar sina recept samt hur beteendeförändringen, att bli fysiskt aktiv, upplevs har undersökts. Fysisk aktivitet på recept innebär att man ordinerar fysisk aktiv
