This dissertation intends to display how today’s culturally dominant features of postmodernism can be read in the fashion image. By doing a qualitative study of Gucci’s campaign Utopian Fantasy from Spring/Summer 2018, this thesis has located postmodern tendencies in the fashion image. Results show that the ’anything goes culture’, with a fragmented subject, the de-centering of values and unstable
The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is non-renormalizable at loop level. However, it can be treated in the effective field theory framework which means that gravity as an effective theory can be renormalized when a proper expansion of the effective Lagrangian is made. At the same time, the Feynman rules for gravity are very complicated, although the resulting amplitudes do not have the sam
The following thesis sets out to identify and map out the current problems that a circular economy, where waste management is the main focus, faces within the construction sector among entrepreneurs mainly in the southern parts of Sweden. As well as proposing solutions to said problems which are deemed to be applicable and have potential according to the authors. Construction waste amounts for one
With the increasing use of nanomaterials in industrial production, the concept of Nanosafety has acquired importance for human and environmental protection. A complete evaluation on the potential risks of a determined nanomaterial cannot prescind from the molecular mechanism of interaction between nanomaterials and biomolecules. In this project, the interaction between a nanomaterial used in sola
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
This case study seeks to contribute to an ongoing discussion about planning for a sense of community by exploring which approach is used by the municipality of Linköping when planning for the neighbourhood Vallastaden. Vallastaden is presented as a neighbourhood planned to create meetings and a local sense of community. However, in times of increased mobility and digitalisation, this local scale o
A comparative study was performed to investigate which of some selected factors that could affect the outcome of the work made in four Swedish municipalities to provide housing for refugees. The chosen municipalities figure as two bad and two good examples. Data was gathered directly via the municipalities, from news articles, and from various Swedish authorities (e.g. Swedish Migration Agency, St
The principle of ne bis in idem, enshrined both in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and in the European Convention on Human Rights, has been the object of an extensive body of case law. Therefore, the question this thesis seeks to answer is: ‘what is the current status of the principle of ne bis in idem under EU tax law?’ After the development of a high level of protection r
Sexuellt samtycke har diskuterats under många år. Den första juli 2018 trädde den s.k. samtyckeslagstiftningen i kraft. Uppsatsen behandlar denna lagstiftning och vad den kan göra för skillnad i sexualbrottsmål där uppsåt inte kunnat påvisas. Fokus riktas mot relationer där dominans och undergivenhet är en livsstil, eller åtminstone ett inslag. Rättsfall redovisas och analyseras och därefter görs Sexual consent has been discussed for many years. On July 1, 2018, the so-called ”consent law” was introduced into Swedish law. The essay deals with this legislation and how it can make a difference in sexual offense cases where intentions have not been proven. The focus is on relationships where dominance and submissiveness is a lifestyle, or at least one element. Cases will be reported and analy
The objective of this study was to assess the influence of user behaviour on the Smart Grid performance and to identify possible interfaces between end-users and the energy network. In order to get an image of the electricity customers attitude to Smart Grids and energy-efficiency, a questionnaire was conducted as a first step. Afterwards, a combination of thermal building simulations and the deri
Den här uppsatsen kommer fördjupa sig i hur den amerikanska lobbyistorganisationen National Rifle Association framställer frågan om striktare vapenreglering i den amerikanska debatten om vapenreglering. Tidigare forskning har visat att organisationen har mål och medel att i hög grad påverka nationens författning utefter deras egna åsikter. Detta gör det intressant att undersöka hur organisationen,
To make not only scholarly publications but also the data underlying those publications openly accessible is part of the movement for Open Science. There are several arguments for sharing research data, for example to promote science and collaboration, to make validation of results possible and to reduce redundant data production (Callaghan et al. 2012; Tenopir et al. 2011). Open Data policies are
This study examines the way Danish museums can be used as a platform for cultural integration of refugees and immigrants. Museums in Denmark have the last couple of years started to take part in integration of refugees, especially when it concerns cultural integration. There is no doubt that there is a demand for this type of integration and that museums are the obvious institutions to help with
Enligt det internationella samfundet är kvinnlig könsstympning ett brott mot mänskliga rättigheter. Det är ett uttryck för ojämlikhet mellan könen som är djupt rotat i sociala, ekonomiska och politiska strukturer, samt att det representerar samhällets kontroll över kvinnor. Jag utförde en kritisk diskursanalytisk undersökning på United Nations Populations Fund UNFPA:s rapport: Eliminating Female G
Demographic transitions are something that every country goes through, however do countries do it at different times. The Western world and Japan are today facing aging populations, developing countries of Africa are still facing high mortality, high fertility rates and booming populations while countries of South Asia and South America are somewhere in between. The demographic diffusion sets up a
This thesis presents an analysis over current opinions towards the Swedish system of contract archaeology. The opinions were gathered through an online poll from the three main actors of the system: Developers, the County Administrative Board and Contract Archaeologists. The thesis came to be as a response to the various and often negative comments and attitudes towards the system shown in mass me
Denna studie undersöker migrationsdebatter i Europaparlamentet med anledning av den flyktingkris som skedde hösten 2015 och effekten av främlingsfientlighet som vuxit därefter. Över en miljon asylsökande flyktingar sökte sig till Europa för ett bättre liv och ingen kunde förutsett den förhöjda volymen av flyktingar som kom. Däremot visade den akuta situationen på brister i asylsystemet som den EurThis study examines the migration debates in the European Parliament in view of the refugee crisis that occurred in the fall of 2015 and the effect of xenophobia that grew thereafter. Over one million refugees sought Europe for a better life in 2015 and no one could predict the increased volume of refugees who came. On the other hand, the acute situation showed flaws in the asylum system that the
