The Humanities consist of a broad array of academic disciplines that study human language, thought, artistic creations etc. The history of the Humanities is long and complex and the tensions between tradition and new ways of doing things form an essential part of the contemporary situation of this academic field. Such tensions offer an interesting perspective of the information behaviour of the ne

The political participation of women is an important indicator of the degree of gender equality in certain country. In India, which is often referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the national parliament consists of only 11 % women. In a vast majority of India’s 28 states the female representation in their respective legislative assemblies is even less. However, when five states were holdin

This thesis surrounds the political theory of National Socialism and its connections towards other political theories, which more distinctly will be “classic socialism” in this work. The question to be answered is if National Socialism can be seen as a variant of socialism, and to answer this question I will use the seven dimensions of Reidar Larsson as an analytic tool. Which these I form up a po

Friedrich Nietzsche, omvandlaren av alla värden, ställer tänkandet och sanningen och gudarna på huvudet. Frågan är kanske inte vad världen är, utan hur världen blir. Finns det ett nav som allting kretsar kring, som innebär en återkomst av allt, eller är återkomsten navet som alstrar tillvaron? Vad skriver Nietzsche själv om den eviga återkomsten, om hur världen skall förstås, hur livet måste levas

This thesis contains the basis for an exhibition about biomedical engineering due to be displayed at Vattenhallen in the summer of 2013. The aim of the exhibition is to inspire and interest the children and adults that come and visits Vattenhallen. Hopefully at least one child will feel interested at study at LTH in the future. The basis contains 13 experimental stations and a short description of

This thesis has been carried out to investigate a few areas concerning electric and hybrid electric powered land vehicles. The main objective has been to analyze the efficiency of such power trains to compare them with canonical combustion engines, both in a tank-to-wheels basis and a well-to-wheels basis. One of the question formulations is if an electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charge

Stalaktiter och andra grottsediment har visat sig vara värdefulla verktyg för klimatrekonstruktioner. Med deras hjälp är det möjligt att rekonstruera förändringar av temperatur och nederbörd tillbaka i tiden. De är även användbara i arida områden där andra sedimenttyper sällan existerar. I den här studien undersöks en stalaktit från ”Al Hota”-grottan i norra Oman med hjälp av en petrografisk underSpeleothems and other cave sediments have proven to be valuable tools for climate reconstructions. They allow to reconstruct the changes of temperatures and precipitation over time even in arid areas where other types of sedimentary archives are scarce or even non-existent. In this study, a speleothem from Al Hota cave in northern Oman is investigated by means of petrographic interpretation and an

Synthetic biology, a branch of the life sciences, can be summarized as the deliberate attempt to design living organisms. It is an emerging technoscience and a potential platform technology portrayed as possibly the next industrial revolution. This thesis is an inquiry into synthetic biology; an exploration based on observations in text. An explorative tool is the question: What is synthetic biolo

Europeiska unionen har beskrivits som en annan typ av utrikespolitisk aktör. Manners utvecklade begreppet om EU som en normativ makt som drivs av bestämda principer. Denna uppsats fokuserar mer på Toccis begreppsbildning som ger tre testbara dimensioner: normativa mål, normativa medel och normativa inverkan. Utifrån Toccis formulering kan vi sammanfatta en normativ makt som en aktör med normativa

This thesis puts light onto, and criticizes, the view of an apology or an excuse as an end or a goal in itself instead of as an on going project with further implications. My ambition is to in this thesis introduce and detect the weaknesses with the arguments in mainstream discussion and theories and give an alternative interpretation of the concept apology. My conclusion, in short, is that even

Denna uppsats kommer behandla ett område som kommit i skymundan av styrelseskicken demokrati och diktaturer. Under 1900-talet skedde en demokratiseringsvåg i världen, men många länder utvecklade inte full demokrati och hamnade i ett mellanting vi idag benämner som hybridregimer. En av de största anledningarna till bristande demokrati anses vara de legitimitetsproblemen som finns i länderna mellan

En medlemsstats nationella inkomstskatteregel som hindrar eller inskränker EUF-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet kan anses vara rättfärdigad om den uppfyller vissa kriterier. Det centrala i denna uppsats är den bedömning som EU-domstolen gör för att avgöra huruvida regeln är rättfärdigad eller ej. Detta innebär att uppsatsen innehåller en redogörelse för det så kallade rule of reason-testetA member state’s national income tax legislation, which prevents or restricts the provisions on free movement in the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union, can be justified if it meets certain criteria. The essence of this thesis is the assessment made by the European Court of Justice (the Court) to determine whether the legislation is justified or not. This means that this thesis contai

När förslaget om löntagartagarfonder blev officiellt på LOs kongress 15 juni 1976 ska den dåvarande partisekreteraren Sten Andersson ha sagt med skämtsam tvist: ”Låt oss bedja för partiet” (Peterson 1999:162). Detta ger en ganska bra bild av hur Socialdemokraterna kom att betrakta förslaget om löntagarfonder som klubbades igenom av LO. Vi har använt oss av och jämfört två teorier, Multiple streams

The theory of ecogovernmentality is an attempt to formulate a foucauldian approach to environmental politics. According to this theory, aspects of language and knowledge concerning the environment thus needs to be problematized and viewed as potential exercises of power. In this thesis I study the energy politics of the Swedish alliance government (2006-2010) from a discourse analytical perspectiv

Bakgrund: MS är en progredierande sjukdom som ofta innebär ett stort rehabiliteringsbehov och krav på aktivitetsanpassning för individen. Få undersökningar har gjorts om hur rehabiliteringen påverkar patienternas aktivitet och delaktighet samtidigt som studier har visat att MS-patienter ibland upplever arbetsterapeutens roll i rehabiliteringsarbetet som otydlig. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer m
