The late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century was a turbulent time for the monarchies of Europe, the Swedish included. Since Gustav III’s coup in 1772, the king strove to enhance the royal prerogative. Ceremonies were crucial in the monarchy’s language of power and establishment of legitimacy but oppositional forces within the nobility nevertheless provoked the regicide of Gustav III in 179

This essay aims to analyse discursive power structures between rural and urban environments and how these are expressed through character portrayals of men in rural environments. The essay will also examine whether or not a relation between the discursive power structure (between the rural and urban) and a hegemonic masculinity can be found within the source material. The source material consists

Clusters have become a buzzword in the economic vocabulary. But what characterises a cluster? A superficial definition of the term cluster is companies operating, cooperating and competing within a joint industry. Research suggests that clusters will have an important role in creating growth in the future, but a cluster is seldom created overnight. It requires specialisation and close cooperation

This study applies the method of intertextuality to interpret a possible dependance of Jas 1:13 on 1 Cor 10:13. Key to this study has been to analyse the use of the word for ”test” or ”temptation”: πειρασμóς, in the two texts'. The aim has been to understand how James uses Paul as a source to further his theology, to see how he in a creative way by the rethoric method of aemulatio fuses 1 Cor

Nya Kvillebäcken was built as part of a project to redefine the urban identity of the area and its status. The project has been criticized for creating new-build gentrification. The objectives of this essay are to study Nya Kvillebäcken and the relationship between ideals of urban plannin

Människans kropp består av miljontals celler och alla dessa celler har ett cellmembran som skyddar cellens interiör från dess omgivning. Cellmembranet sköter även transporten utifrån och in till cellen. För att få en förståelse över cellmembranets funktion så används olika konstgjorda lipid bilager som modeller. I dag kan man enkelt skapa konstgjorda bilager modeller som består av 2-3 fosfolipiderSupported lipid bilayers are a popular in situ artificial bilayer model where a lipid solution is deposited on a surface. Usually the supported lipid bilayers consist of only 2-3 lipids and the problem with that is that they do not represent the biological membrane very well. In this project Pichia pastoris lipids were used to form supported lipid bilayers at different pH, temperature and differen

Human-induced climate change has emerged as one of the greatest sustainability challenges of our time, with significant risks for human health, livelihoods and security. However, technological solutions to phase out the use of fossil fuels in industrialized countries are politically contested. Their adoption depends on disrupting the institutions and behaviours that perpetuate the dependence on fo

Bakgrund: För arbetsterapeuter är det möjligt att arbeta inom en rad olika verksamheter och i olika roller. Vissa arbetsterapeuter väljer att ta sig an ett ledarskap i en chefsbefattning. Trots det är arbetsterapi och ledarskap ett förhållandevis outforskat fält. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur chefer beskriver att de använder sin arbetsterapeutiska professionella kompetens i ledarskapet. MetBackground: Among occupational therapists some choose to take on a leadership role as a manager. Even though this is a possible career path, the connections between occupational therapy and formal leadership are not very well researched. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore how managers describe using their professional occupational therapy competence. Method: A qualitative method inc

Inom samhällsbyggnadsprocessen blir 3D-visualisering och -analys allt viktigare för stadsbyggnation. 3D-visualisering med digitala tekniker ersätter allt oftare 2D-kartor för visualisering av markanvändningen. 3D-visualisering för samhällsplanering behöver använda 3D-modeller av städer och städernas ingående byggnader. Arkitekter skapar redan detaljerade 3D-modeller, men dessa byggnadsinformationsWithin the process of city planning both 3D visualization and analysis are becoming more important for city building. 3D visualisation with the aid of digital techniques is replacing 2D maps on a growing scale for visualization of the land use. 3D visualization for city planning needs 3D models of cities and their buildings. Architects already create detailed 3D models, but these building informat

Bakgrund: Sömnsvårigheter och dålig sömnkvalitet är idag ett folkhälsoproblem och kan påverka vardagliga aktiviteter. Som åtgärd används ibland tyngdtäcke. Forskning på sambandet mellan tyngdtäcke, sömn och dess påverkan på aktiviteter i vardagliga livet är begränsad. En anledning är att inom arbetsterapi har sömn inte erkänts som en aktivitet. Syfte: Undersöka vilken upplevd inverkan tyngdtäcke Background: Sleep disturbances and poor sleep quality is a public health concern that can affect occupation in daily life. Useful intervention can be weighted blankets. Research regarding weighted blankets, sleep, and their effect on activities in daily life is limited. One reason for this is that sleep has not been recognized as an activity within occupational therapy. Aim: Examine the experience

This paper aims to examine whether the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) debate during 2017 regarding the bill “Restore internet Freedom” can be understood through a theoretical neo-liberal and social-liberal ideological perspective. The purpose of this paper is to clarify and bring an understanding of what was said in the debate regarding the bill, by trying to interpret what political id

Real-life aircraft evacuation drills can cost up to 2 million USD and may not at the same time be able to represent a real emergency scenario. with the use of evacuation models as a complement to the testing may reduce this cost. The aim of this thesis is to test the capabilities and limitation of two continuous evacuation models, namely Pathfinder and FDS + Evac in representing aircraft evacuatio

Firstly, the employer has, According to lagen (1976:580) om medbestämmande i arbetslivet, an obligation to negotiate with employee unions when making significant changes in the organization. This predominantly applies to unions with collective agreements, but in some cases even unions without collective agreements may have a right to negotiate. The question of what constitutes a significant change

Denna uppsats redogör för hur arbetsgivarens skyldigheter skiljer sig åt vid uppsägning respektive avsked och analyserar på vilka bevekelsegrunder en arbetsgivare kan välja att avskeda istället för att säga upp. Vid både uppsägning och avsked föreligger samma formella skyldigheter samt en skyldighet att förhandla innan åtgärden vidtas. Arbetsgivaren har dock olika lång tid på sig att lämna underräThis essay will discuss how the responsibilities of the employer differ between termination and dismissal and will furthermore analyse the motives an employer can have in order to justify the use of dismissal instead of termination. Before terminating or dismissing an employee, the employer must in both cases observe the formal responsibilities as well as the obligation to negotiate. The differenc

För att undersöka mycket snabba förlopp, likt elektroners rörelser kring atomkärnan, krävs ljuspulser som endast är några hundra attosekunder långa. En attosekund ($10^{-18}$ s) är en miljarddels miljarddels sekund, och förhåller sig således ungefär till en sekund som en sekund förhåller sig till två gånger universums ålder. Attosekundspulser, det vill säga ljuspulser kortare än en femtosekund ($The first aim of this project is to make high-order harmonic (HHG) setups more compact and user-friendly, by including a micro-channel plate (MCP). Simulations of the transmission properties of an MCP has been performed. These simulations displayed introduced structure in the far field, but a very well behaved beam in the near field. Further, the wavefront of the zeroth order diffraction spot of M
