The public debate on honor-related violence intensified in Sweden after the murder of Fadime Sahindal. A culture-based understanding and feminist understanding on honor-related violence has mainly characterized the public debate. The essay aims to analyze these arguments based on the concept of culture. Does the understanding of the honor-related violence need to be divided into either a culture u

Analysis of the film "Thomas Graals bästa film" (Mauritz Stiller 1917)

The interaction between two colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes in aqueous solution is studied within the primitive model by Monte Carlo simulations. For neutral colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes and in absence of salt the interaction is strongly repulsive in absence of salt. The interaction depends on the extension of the polyelectrolytes from the surfaces and the interaction is derived a

With the use of arms trade data spanning the time period between 1992 and 2010, this thesis sets out to study what influence joining NATO has on a country’s volume of arms export and its probability of exporting arms. An assessment is also made of how NATO members trade arms. The data is estimated with a set of different gravity models and by using linear regressions evaluating volume and logistic

Children in an asylum process are especially exposed in society. Therefore, a high standard is expected of the law enforcer’s investigation and assessment of the best interest of the child, within the rules for residence permit in the Aliens Act (2005:716). The regulation of the best interest of the child in the Aliens Act (2005:716) protect the child’s right to health and development which to a

Archaeology is about human beings – in the present and in the past. When we concern ourselves with archaeology we have to imagine prehistoric human beings thinking, feeling and acting. This imagining is the very precondition for the creation of meaning from the fragments and traces of human lives that we choose as our data. What kind of images of human beings do we create through the writing and r

Vann McGee has proposed a counterexample to the Ramsey Test. In the counterexample, a seemingly trustworthy source has testified that p and that if not-p, then q. If one subsequently learns not-p (and so learns that the source is wrong about p), then one has reason to doubt the trustworthiness of the source (perhaps even the identity of the source) and so, the argument goes, one has reason to doub

This thesis contains three papers about three different estimates of resolvents in harmonic analysis. These papers are: Paper 1. ``A Wiener tauberian theorem for weighted convolution algebras of zonal functions on the automorphism group of the unit disc'' Paper 2. ``Uniform spectral radius and compact Gelfand transform'' Paper 3. ``Decomposable extension of the Cesáro operator on the weighted B

This monograph analyses marine gathering in the Polynesian Kingdom of Tonga from ecological, social and cognitive perspectives. The overarching issues explored are (1) the significance of marine gathering in the past and present, (2) how seaweeds and marine invertebrates have been perceived, classified, named and used, (3) how they have been implicated in social relations, and (4) how the integrat
