Purpose: The purpose of the study is to, from a critical feminist perspective, illustrate and create understanding for how companies use feminism to broadcast commercial messages. Methodology: The study was conducted in the form of a case study. The analysis was made by doing a qualitative content analysis of images and text in order to illustrate the material’s underlying meaning. Theoretical
I och med min utbildning till lärare i musik- och svenska som andraspråk vill jag låta dessa ämnesområden sammanfläta i mitt examensarbete. I och med den flyktingström som påverkat hela vårt land har skolsituationen i Sverige förändrats. Antalet nyanlända elever i skolan har ökat och många av dem ska få undervisning i musik. Detta är ett uppdrag som musiklärare inte varit beredda på. Därför är syf
This thesis concerns the principle of provenance and its applicability in the archival processing of personal digital archives. Digital archives are here understood as archives consisting of born-digital material and not analogue material that has been scanned and digitized. Personal archives are understood simply as collections of documents from private persons, as opposed to businesses or organi
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur en timanställning kan definieras och om timanställning kan anses vara tillåtet på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Vidare är även syftet att klarlägga vad en timanställning faktiskt innebär för en arbetstagares anställningstrygghet och arbetsskyldighet, men även vad anställningsformen innebär för både arbetstagarens och arbetsgivarens lojalitetsplikt. Anstäl
Traditionally, multi-family houses have been constructed using heavy, homogenous materials like concrete and masonry. But as a consequence of the progress of lightweight building systems during the last decades, it has been questioned whether standardized sound insulation evaluation methods still are appropriate. An extensive measurement template has been applied in a field survey where several vi
Recent experiments exposing migratory birds to altered magnetic fields simulating geographical displacements have shown that the geomagnetic field acts as an external cue affecting migratory fuelling behaviour. This is the first study investigating fuel deposition in relation to geomagnetic cues in long-distance migrants using the western passage of the Mediterranean region. Juvenile wheatears (Oe
Following myocardial infarction (MI), patients often have unanswered questions about resuming sexual activity. Coronary care nurses can play an important role in counselling. However, this sensitive area is frequently neglected in nursing practice. This article discusses patient and nurse perceptions of such discussions and explores ways to increase nurses' awareness, so that they might offer sexu
Previous research has shown that wheelchair-seated passengers using special transportation services (STS) have been injured without being involved in a vehicle crash. In order to estimate incident rate and societal costs for these vehicle-related injuries, the focus needs to be adjusted towards a traveler/incident-oriented perspective. The aim of the project was to utilize such a perspective, rela
The overall aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a specific instrument, measuring both mothers’ and fathers’ postnatal sense of security during the first postnatal week, and to explore and describe important factors associated with this. Data was collected from 2003 to 2009. The thesis has a methodological (Paper I), an evaluative (Paper II) and an explorative and descriptive design (P
Differential heating of surface waters of lakes caused by shading from vegetation can induce convection, which could be significant for the ecosystem because the chemistry and biology can differ in the reed belt zone compared to the open lake. This process has been given little attention in the literature. In the present study surface currents just outside a reed belt as well as radiation and wate
A sizable fraction of testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) risk is expected to be explained by heritable factors. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified a number of common SNPs associated with TGCT. It is however, unclear how much common variation there is left to be accounted for by other, yet to be identified, common SNPs and what contribution common genetic var
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and high levels of disinhibition have been associated with a variety of negative outcomes such as aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB). However, forensic psychiatric populations remain an understudied group in this field of research. This study aimed to fill that gap by investigating associations between ACE, AAB, and disinhibition in a forensic psychiatric samp
Birds are generally capable of accurate orientation. In this thesis I present studies about the external cues and the ecological factors that influences bird orientation. A multitude of environmental cues are used to select and maintain a proper direction. These are visual cues, like the sun and the starry night sky, but other cues like the geomagnetic field, wind and odours also play important ro
Treatment ideologies and working models replace each other quickly in today's society. During the 1980s a dramatic dismantling of the psychiatric institutions occurred. The health care system was supposed to be transferred to non-institutional care. This was, however, not possible for all groups of patients. At an institution, specialized in so called demanding patients and patients who received c
