Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka styrdokumentens hierarkisering av skönlitteratur som gör att spelfilm ofta hamnar i skymundan i svenskundervisningen. Audiovisuell underhållning så som film är vanligt i gymnasieelevers vardag och bör därför inkluderas mer i kunskapskrav än vad som görs idag. Därför har denna studie kartlagt var i undervisningen som skönlitteratur och spelfilm kan geThe aim of this study is to map out the hierarchy that puts written literature first and causes movies to be overlooked in Swedish courses at upper secondary schools in Sweden. Students at upper secondary school consume more and more audio-visual entertainment and should therefore have more space in official documents of policies and grading. Therefore, this study defines where written literature

This essay presents an intertextual analysis of three short stories by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges; “The Garden of Forking Paths” (1941), “The South” (1944), and “The End” (1944). The analysis explores the possibility of using the philosophical ideas concerning bifurcations in time as presented in “ The Garden of Forking Paths” to reinterpret the other two short stories, given that these

Denna studie avser studera de prioriteringar Svenska Filminstitutet framlägger i sitt handledningsmaterial för lärare och vad det betyder för filmens roll i svenskämnet och synen på film i skolan i helhet. Detta görs via två metoder där den första studerar ett stort urval av studiematerial och den andra gör närläsning på ett mindre urval. I den sistnämnde metoden studeras även handledningarnas möjThis study intends to find the priorities presented by the Swedish Film Institute in its guidance material for teachers and what these priorities say about the role of film education within Swedish schools in general and the subject of Swedish in particular. This is done via two methods, the first covers a large selection of study material, and the second does a close reading on a smaller selectio

This thesis proposes a machine-learning-supported pipeline which, put together, provides an estimate of roof surface area for solar panel installation. This pipeline is comprised of roof segmentation based on images and digital surface models and provides subsequent identification of key measurements such as roof length, roof width and roof angle. Obstacles belonging to a roof are also identified

Organisations increasingly adopt digital technologies in order to assist and improve the efficiency of their decision-making processes. Industries, including banking, need to increasingly adapt to the world of digitalization. The amount of data that has to be processed in the banking industry is increasing exponentially, and digital technology represents valuable solutions to processing this data

An increased understanding of the negative impacts of animal-based proteins, on both environment and health, has led to a rise in the demand for plant-based proteins. To meet the demands, conventional crops must be efficiently utilized. One possible crop is oat which is a good source of protein, fibre, and fat, but is currently mainly used for animal feed. To better utilize the proteins in oat, th

Början av 1900-talet såg en oerhörd utveckling av nya forskningsområden inom fysiken. 1905 lade Einstein grunden för den speciella relativitetsteorin, som revolutionerade hur fysiker ser på själva tiden och rummet genom att föreslå att vi kan behandla de båda på samma sätt. Samtidigt växte kvantfysikens värld fram i jakten på en beskrivning av vår verklighets allra minsta beståndsdelar. KvantfysThis thesis derives the explicit form of the elements of the (1/2,1/2) representation of the Lorentz group, by actually performing a direct product of the chiral (1/2,0)- and (0,1/2)-representations. The Lorentz transformations of fourvectors are thereafter recovered from this direct-product representation, allowing the derivation of a transformation matrix between the fourvector- and direct produ

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how different types of fans experience personalization in sports marketing and to analyze how each Fan type can be motivated by understanding how their fan experience could be optimized further. Methodology: This study was a qualitative study. The study was carried out using an abductive approach where literature was combined with empi

In this thesis a number of methods for image classification are investigated. The main goal is to explore an approach based on functional data analysis and compare it with Neural Networks. The main idea is to view each image as a function and then capture the most important variation of each image class through Functional Principal Component Analysis. For comparing the methods the cifar10 dataset

After hundreds of years of urbanization a new trend is here. In Sweden, people are now leaving the big cities for a life in the countryside. How can urban designers work with rural areas and how do we do urban design in a rural way? This thesis investigates rural design in a Swedish village called Björkvik.

The village of Vilhelmina in South Lapland, Sweden is declining. Despite the general trend of urbanization more and more people are leaving Vilhelmina which have resulted in economic insecurity and a disassembly of basic public services and buildings. With new global trends like globalization, digitalization and global heating, this could potentially be changed and the thesis aims to investigate a

Lipase is one of the most useful enzymes in food industry, which can catalyze the hydrolysis and the synthesis of esters. However, the high cost due to the poor operation stability of lipase hinders the wide use of it. In present research, the stability of lipases in aqueous systems has been thoroughly studied, while research on lipases in non-aqueous systems is limited. In this work, the secondar

Social networking sites have become platforms of strategic importance to brand communication. However, to date, little is known about how brands should communicate with overstimulated digital natives on these platforms, especially concerning the language style they should use. In light of the phenomenon of brands increasingly adjusting to a human style of communication, this qualitative study take

Hur ofta reflekterar du över varifrån ditt dricksvatten kommer, vad det kostar och vad som krävs för att det ska nå hem till just dig? Det enkla svaret är: förmodligen nästan aldrig. Att förändra invanda beteendemönster är svårt. Framför allt när det inte tycks finnas tillräckligt med incitament för det. Men det finns faktiskt flertalet viktiga anledningar att vi bör bli bättre på att hushålla mClimate change will likely cause future water crises in many parts of the world, making it crucial for humanity to adapt to a life in which sustainable water use behaviors are key. To achieve this, organizations managing drinking water need increased knowledge on how to communicate conservation messages that will lead to behavior changes. This study used the framework the Behavior Change Wheel (B

The demand for higher education is quickly rising in the Sub-Saharan Africa region and the question of giving access to all members of society often comes down to financing. Many countries, including Tanzania, have opted for cost-sharing policies where the cost of education is split between the state and the individuals - leaving many without the possibility of attending higher education. This mas

OPO är en viktig strukturerad lipid för bröstmjölksersättning. I denna rapport beskrivs en ny metod för syntes av denna viktiga lipid med hjälp av en tvåstegs-enzymatisk alkoholys-esterifiering. Denna process är komplett med syntes i två steg, intermediär upprening och downstream processing.In this thesis work a simplified, solvent-free, two-step enzymatic method for producing tailored lipids for infant formula with more than 75% of palmitic acid in sn-2 position is described. This simple enzymatic process concept could be a future route towards OPO production or other tailored lipids with palmitic acid in position sn-2

Det sen-Triassiska massutdöendet (STM) som inträffade för omkring 201 miljoner år sedan är känt som ett av ”de fem stora” massutdöendena under Fanerozoisk tid. Massutdöendet påverkade främst marina ekosystem, vilket resulterade i en global minskning av ryggradslösa djur och utdöendet av konodonterna. Orsaken till STM kan anknytas till utbrotten av den Central-Atlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP)The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETME) which occurred around 201 Ma is known as one of “the big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic eon. Its effects were most severe on marine ecosystems, resulting in a global decline of invertebrate taxa and the complete extinction of the conodonts. The cause of the ETME can be attributed to the volcanic activity of the Central Atlantic magmatic prov

The purpose of this study was to illustrate how youth crime is constructed by three different political parties in Sweden; Moderaterna, Socialdemokraterna and Vänsterpartiet. The data in this study consists of several official political documents such as interpellations, motions and proposals. The documents were analyzed using perspective analysis, which stems from the social constructionist persp

Finding vulnerabilities in open source software is an important part of software security. Software security is in turn a vital part in risk management and making risk assessments. The purpose of this thesis is to help organisations make decisions about vulnerabilities they have in their software programs by helping them make their own risk assessment. Our research uses the Common Vulnerability Sc
