Detta reflekteras i det moderna samhället där det specialiserade arbetet alienerar människan då hon bara producera ensidigt istället för allsidigt och därmed förlorar

The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) still consist of so few women. This is done by analysing the Armed Forces’ documents regarding equality. The hypothesis is that there are discourses concerning gender and women in the organization which reproduce stereotypical dichotomies of men and women. By using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis I have

In a globalized world, with ever-increasing interdependency and interconnectedness, it is often argued that political and ethical boundaries will gradually lose their significance. A cosmopolitan world order will eventually emerge, a process we, arguably, should help to bring about. However, in this paper, mainly from a communitarian perspective, I problematize this conception. The way towards thi

This report contains a study of the structural loading capacity for driven concrete piles in cohesive soil. Two different types of models for handling horizontal loads have been investigated. The most common way in Sweden to cope with horizontal loads on piles is to drive the piles inclined in a truss pattern.

Society’s definition of rape is a matter of interpretation, which is influenced by moral views and creates myths of how victim and perpetrator should act for a situation to be classified as a ”real” rape. It is easier to de

Feminist studies on male rape have therefore become an academic undertheorized issue where other problem formulations and aspects instead have been highl

In the late 19th century, many Swedes were committed to a new wave of religious revivalism. Trough these new Christian congregations, several vast efforts were made to bring the gospel of salvation to people in parts of the world that many Swedes at this time had not even heard of. Of those who responded to their inner calling, left everything they knew and became missionaries, a notable share wer

The work focuses on a design program that had to be corrected before being released on the market according to the following steps: presentation of design rules and materials, development of an own

Historically, traditional concrete floors have performed well with regard to vibration serviceability. This is much due to their heavy weight. However, the use of stronger concrete materials and prestressing has resulted in slender cross sections and the possibility to build long-span floor elements. The combination of long span and relatively light weight means that the floor element is more sens

Denna uppsats undersöker närmare det forum som sociala medier är för organisat-ioner. Genom en fallstudie på Findus och hästköttskandalen där diskursanalys, samt intervjuer varit metodvalen har vi kunnat se att samhällsdiskurser och orga-nisationers informationshantering är stora faktorer vid negativ ryktesspridning.
