I det nazistiska Tyskland framställdes Adolf Hitler som en frälsargestalt. Trots den intensiva propagandan fanns det tyskar, varav flera var högt uppsatta militärer och diplomater, som betraktade Hitler och det nationalsocialistiska partiet som en fara för den tyska nationens fortlevnad. De hade avlagt en ed och svurit lojalitet mot Führern men de såg sig nödgade att begå högförräderi för att räd

The research on theory of mind is increasingly focused on adults in various professional contexts. One such context in which the role of theory of mind remains rather scarce is within public management, and decisions regarding turnover and retention. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledge on theory of mind in working adults in this specific context. 11 semi-structured interviews were cond

The present study (n = 121) was investigating the mediating effects of frustrated basic psychological needs on the relationship between passive destructive leading behaviors, burnout symptoms and the willingness to leave. The concept of the three basic psychological needs (need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) is embedded in the Self-Determination Theory. As independent variables the con

Industrial workers in Ukraine have a complex political lifeworld because their political action aimed at bringing radical social change coexists with a demobilizing stance that condemns all political participation as corrupt. This contradictory attitude to politics defines the character of populist mass mobilizations that shook Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, as well as the electoral overhaul of 2019 an

Det gränslösas slutenhet riktar sig till en kultur- och musikintresserad allmänhet som vill orientera sig om hur det postmoderna påverkar dagens tänkande om musik, men också till den läsare som vill sätta sig in i postmodernistisk teoribildning.

Positive teacher-student and student-student relationships are among the most significant factors contributing to learning, motivation, wellbeing, and graduation rates in higher education. Trust is commonly understood as a key element for the development and sustenance of positive educational relationships, yet relatively little empirical research investigates trust in higher education classrooms.

This is achieved through qualitative interviews with established hymn writers. The selection criteria for the study included the hymn writer’s representation in the

This bachelor thesis is a delimitation criticism of part of the Eden Narrative, specifically Gen 2:18–3:21. The question explored is whether or not it is accurate to call Gen 2:23 and 3:14–19 poetic insertions in an otherwise prose text. It is argued that no, they cannot reasonably be argued as poetic exceptions – the text is poetic throughout. A recurring stylistic pattern tying large narrative u

Denna uppsats syftar till att utforska jubelåret sådant det beskrivs i Lev 25:8–23. Detta görs genom att se på utombibliska traditioner som kan ha influerat lagstiftningen, samhälleliga faktorer som förutsätts av författarna samt lagens funktion i samband med Leviticus slutredigering i tidig persisk tid. Frågan ställs även huruvida jubelåret kan ha praktiserats i verkligheten. Uppsatsen använder s

The aim of this thesis is to explain the widely different opinions about the Catholic Professor of Christian Ethics Germain Grisez's (1929-2018) ethics. While some commentators see his ethics as legalistic and deontologic, others think that it’s anti-legalistic and eudaimonic. The Aristotelian and Kantian positions are drawn upon as frames of reference. The focus of the thesis is Grisez's

My intention in this thesis is to analyze the Second Vatican Council’s understanding of divine revelation christologically. Within the frame of this analysis, I further wish to examine the hypothesis that the post-conciliar concept of revelation holds a constructive potential applicable within Swedish theological discourse. As a result of this, the following main question, enabling a christologica

Reformationen var en period av förändring, av vilka några hade stora konsekvenser. De förändringar som reformationen bidrog till var av många slag: politiska, teologiska, liturgiska och estetiska. Även kyrkorummet förändrades. Det finns några allmänna uppfattningar om vad detta innebar, men också en del förvirring. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att förklara och genom mina begrepp "destruThe Reformation was a time of change, some of which had great consequences. The changes that the Reformation cause are of many kinds: political, theological, liturgical and aesthetic. Even the church room changed. There are some general perceptions of what this meant but also a lot of confusion. The purpose of this essay is, therefore, to explain and, through my concepts of "destruction"

This essay focuses on the verse 3:28 from Paul´s letter to the Galatians, in which Paul writes that “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” I have chosen to focus, primarily, on the concepts of “male nor female” in a combined exegetical study and hermeneutical search for an inclusive, Pauline language

Humans need water - a fact we have been taught since an early age. The body requires water to function and we through it. We can explicitly say that water is a vital source and element that all living things need. But at the same time, water can be a source of chaos. Stories in the Bible tell of how storms, tempests and floods cause both suffering and death. This paradoxical view of water makes it

In this study, I aim to investigate the representation of Imam Mahdi in two Shiite prayers and one salutation, ziyarat. I aim to do this from a hermeneutic interpretation, a power perspective, and in application of the theoretical concept of objectification. The purpose of this study is to analyse who Imam Mahdi is according to these texts, what the texts say about his personality and daily life,

Paul the Apostle was a very diligent man in many things. Both before his conversion and afterwards he did not cease to work towards his goals; before the conversion eagerly tracking the people believing in Jesus and after his conversion travelling as a missionary, founding churches, writing letters, pursuing his primary target spreading the Gospel. At the same time, he also upheld a regular job. H
