The thesis explores the implications of digital ethnic media for International diaspora through an empirical analysis of virtual Chinese diaspora spaces. The analysis shows that the Chinese cultural sphere is a heterogeneous and pluralistic space which is diverse, segmented but connected. The multicultural sphere fosters the complexity of interactions within digital ethnic community, by means of t

Ett grustag vid Fiskarheden, som ligger i nordvästra Dalarna, uppvisar tjocka avlagringar av grovkorniga sediment; en sanduravlagring av så kallad Scott-typ som deponerats i en is-proximal proglacial miljö. Preliminära OSL-dateringar av sandursedimenten tyder på att de är av en pre-Saalian ålder (>200 000 år). Av särskilt intresse här är, förutom dess höga ålder pre-daterande det senaste istidsmaxThe Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveal thick deposits of coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association; a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Preliminary OSL dating of the sandur sediments suggest that they are of a pre-Saalian age (>200 000 years). Of special interest here is, besides its pre-LGM age, the large-scale and intense

Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan graden av arbetarrörelsens militans i form av strejker och förändringar i anställningstrygghetslagstiftning. Uppsatsen har en teoretisk utgångspunkt i maktresursteorin vilken vi kopplar till fackföreningsrörelserna och deras påverkan på anställningsskyddslagstiftnigen. I en jämförande studie mellan en rad västeuropeiska länder visar vi på att strejkmönster

The pape

Bridging the gap between understanding work-as-imagined and work-as-done in the perioperative work context represents an important aim of cognitive systems engineering research. Researching this context using a joint cognitive systems theoretical approach can reveal patterns of adaptation that have important implications for system design. Traditional research approaches by non-domain investigator
