The present thesis focuses on how Edouard Glissant uses othering as a tool while constructing an Antillean identity in two of his works, La Lézarde and La case du commandeur. The proposed identity is more suitable for the confusing reality lived by the Antillean people, consisting of the intertwining of a French culture on the one hand and a creole and African culture on the other. The analysis is

The purpose of this thesis is to systematically map the factors and tasks linked to drowning accidents and the rescue services response to drowning accidents that has the most influence on the outcome. To achieve this purpose, two methods have been used, a literature study and an interview study. The literature study aimed to map the current research on drowning and drowning response and to identi

Personalomsättning som sker till följd av egna uppsägningar är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen och problem hos organisationer. Det är kostsamt att förlora talanger. Uppsatsen syftar till att studera och analysera varför ställföreträdande butikschefer väljer att avsluta sin anställning i en organisation inom detaljhandeln. Genom en fallstudie med hermeneutiska inslag har sjutton exitsamtal med stä

Första fotbollsklubben börsnoterades 1983. Sedan dess har den ökade kommersialiseringen i kombination med att fotbollsklubbar alltmer börjat styras som vinstdrivande företag lett till att de idag omsätter mer pengar än någonsin. Trots detta menar tidigare forskning att fotbollsklubbar endast handlas på börsen styrt av supporterskap och känslor. Mot bakgrund till detta syftar uppsatsen till att und

The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund, focuses on nuclear spectroscopy of decays of rare isotopes. A new decay station, called LUNDIUM, is currently being built, which will involve silicon and germanium detectors for the study of these nuclei. This thesis focuses on the characterization of one of the new silicon detectors, the implantation one. More specifically, the dead layer is determined over th

The fountain of Anna Perenna and her nymphs was discovered in an excavation around twenty years ago in northern Rome and its cistern was found to house both religious votives and magical objects, such as curse tablets (defixiones). Thus, this water shrine constitutes a unique setting for magical practices, magicae artes, in the city of Rome and ancient Italia, which this essay aims to further exam

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om i vilken utsträckning en utomterritoriell attack eller våldsanvändning utförd av en stat mot en terrororganisation kan legitimeras genom självförsvarsinstitutet i folkrätten. Frågan har aktualiserats i samband med insatser av flera av FN:s medlemsländer mot terrororganisationen Islamiska Staten i Irak och Syrien under åberopande av en rätt till självförsvar. Den rThis essay addresses the question of to what extent the right to self-defense under international law can be used to legitimize the use of force against terrorist organizations. The issue has arisen in connection to the joint efforts by several UN member states against the terrorist organization the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Cirka 3000 internationella investeringsavtal har ingåtts sedan 1960-talet för att främja och skydda gränsöverskridande investeringar över hela världen. Avtalen innehåller vanligtvis tvistlösningsmekanismen Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), som innebär att utländska investerare ges rätt att stämma värdstater inför en internationell skiljedomstol för åtgärder som potentiellt påverkar investeApproximately 3000 international investment agreements (IIAs), mostly bilateral investment treaties, have been designed since the 1960’s to promote and protect foreign investment across the world. In case of a dispute, the agreements provide for investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in an arbitration tribunal.

The aim of this study is to analyze the texts and images appearing on the internet homepage of the Swedish national archive - riksarkivet.se. This is done by using the discourse analysis theory, as it is presented by Laclau and Mouffe. By using this as a theory and method my goal is to highlight the way the website presents their historical perspective, as well as how they legitimize themselves as

Sweden is a country who currently is subject to a historically large population increase which also involves a large increase in the number of children attending school. Growing societies are facing the challenge of maintaining the provision of social functions at the same rate as they are growing. Planning for land use and social functions constitutes a complex aggregation of interest which leads

In 2019, the EU and Morocco implemented the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA). The agreement gives EU vessels right to fish not only in Moroccan waters, but also in waters adjacent to the occupied territory of Western Sahara. The SFPA followed on several rulings from the EU Courts, ruling previous trade agreements between the EU and Morocco illegal in their inclusion of the Wester

This project is about focusing a Gaussian laser beam that has a spatial phase profile applied by a spatial light modulator. The goal is to be able to control the shape, position and phase of the peak at the focus and to split up the peak at the focus into several peaks. Controlling the profile of the beam at the focus has interesting applications for opto-optical modulation. A code was written in

På bara några få år har en mängd gig-företag etablerat sig på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Gig-ekonomin består av företag som förmedlar arbete mellan privatpersoner genom digital infrastruktur där gig-företagen fungerar som en utomstående part och avsäger sig rollen som arbetsgivare. Genom en kvalitativ textanalys baserad på texter hämtade från fyra svenska gig-företag, specialiserade på hushållsn

I detta examensarbete har jag utforskat hur man som sångare kan tänka kring intonation. Under arbetet har jag gjort en litteraturstudie för att förstå matematiken och teorin bakom sångarens intonation. Jag har också experimenterat med de tre stämningarna (ren, pytagoreisk och tempererad) samt olika intonationsprinciper för att berika uttrycket i min sång. Uppsatsen utforskar också frågan om intonaThis project has been an exploration of perspectives regarding intonation as a singer. One part of the project is a literature study where I seek to understand the math and theory behind a singer’s intonation. The other part consists of me experimenting with the three tuning systems (five-limit, pythagorean and equally tempered) as well as different principles of intonation to enrich the expressio

Predicting the burst speed of turbine rotors is a costly and challenging task. Therefore, the scope of this thesis is to perform a correlation study between numerical simulation methods and failure criteria to experimental over-speed burst test of the Prometheus turbine rotor. The rotor was manufactured using selective laser melting, and GKN Aerospace performed the over speed burst test, which is
