A discourse analysis was conducted using critical discourse psychology, Foucault's concept of power, and Hirdman's gender system the

In Northern Swedish, personal proper names are traditionally introduced by a morphologically distinct definite article, most known as the preproprial article (PPA). The use of the article in contemporary Swedish dialects is obscure, as research on the topic is scarce and mainly based on antiquated data. For some dialects, PPAs are occasionally said to be restricted to names of people personally kn

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur den pågående expansionen av den svenska dragscenen påverkar svenska dragqueens. Studien baseras på sex kvalitativa intervjuer med svenska dragqueens och tre deltagande observationer av draguppträdanden.

Digital technologies have significantly facilitated the creation and distribution of User Generated Content. Whereas the online environment offers promising opportunities for business and cultural development, it also carries important implications for EU copyright law. Whilst this topic has been explored in the literature, it is typically considered from the lens of rights holders, who often stru

Potential Dark Matter from strongly coupled gauge theory has been studied extensively in the past. However, in studies thus far, the combination of the phenomenological glueball state with the Linear sigma Model has yet to be explored. We provide the basis for a theory containing both the glueball and the sigma meson coupled to the Polyakov loop. Through considering only the lightest meson states

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, increasing with each year. AF is characterized by periods of rapid and irregular beating of the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. The disease often originates from ectopic beats generated by the pulmonary veins, activating the atria, creating short periods of AF. Without treatment the disease evolves, remodels the a
