Trump, TV, och Twitter: En Jämförande Studie i Uppkomsten av Donald Trumps Populistiska Uttryck Mellan Olika Medieplatformar

Donald Trump är välkänd som USA:s ex-president, och en frispråkig användare av Twitter. I denna analys undersöker vi hur Trumps populistiska uttryingar skiljer sig mellan traditionell media, och den sociala median han ofta använde sig av. Detta görs genom en komparativ fallstudie, där vi jämför ett traditionellt tal som hölls och televiserades den 2:e december 2020 med hans Twitter feed mellan den

Aesthetic experiences and their theoretical and neuroaesthetic context: An integrate literature review of the theoretical concept of Einfühlung and its relation to neuroaesthetics

How we as viewers emotionally connect and interact with art and other aesthetic experiences is a widely debated topic in the art historical discourse. Following German aesthetician and philosopher Robert Vischer’s theorisation of the concept of Einfühlung during the 1870s, the empathic discourse has intrigued and engaged thinkers throughout centuries. With the discovery of mirror neurons in the hu

Unveiling Surveillance Giants: Human Rights Violations within the Ad Tech Industry

In an increasingly online society, scholars have gradually come to scrutinize the ad tech industry. The research field, however, tends to focus on the most visible tech giants, such as Google or Facebook, and few researchers approach the industry from a human rights perspective. This thesis deals with some relatively unknown, but still massive, ad tech companies and unveils how they operate at the

The ambition is to contribute with theory development of existing literature within eWOM by increasing the understandi

Design of a cost model for a hospital area to switch between district heating and geothermal heat pumps

The design of the cost model is motivated by the need of the customer to optimize its energy consumption and maximize the savings. Therefore, this tool will be able to manage the data from both power (geothermal heat pumps) and heating (district heating) systems, as well as outdoor temperatures, energy demand and other inputs, and determine which one is more feasible for every hour of the year. Al

Musik i rörelse: Ett arbete om kroppsliga rörelsers påverkan på trombonspel

Ett arbete som undersöker hur trombonspel påverkas av kroppsliga rörelser och hur dessa kan vägas in i inlärningen av ett stycke. Syftet är att förstå hur kroppens rörelser påverkar musiken för att lära sig när det passar att röra sig och när det inte gör det. Undersökningen kommer ske genom analys av inspelningar där jag spelar ett förbestämt stycke med olika mycket rörelse. En publik kommer deThis is a project that explores how a trombone player is affected by body movements and how you can use the movements when you are practicing a piece. The purpose is to understand how the movements of the body affect the music in order to learn when it is appropriate to move and when it is not. The project will be conducted through analyses of recordings where I play a piece with a different amo

Architectural Technical Debt - can it be prevented with a software project generator?

Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) is a challenge that many of today's companies aim to overcome. ATD concerns the overall structure and architecture of a software-intensive system and can be described as the unresolved shortcuts developers take under circumstances of e.g. time pressure and uncertain requirements. Planning and constructing a well-thought-out architecture is time consuming and
