This thesis focuses on the prevalence of nationalism in the reception of Chinese animated films. One example of this is the widely-circulated online expression of ‘the rise of Chinese animation’ by engaged audiences and fans. The term ‘ACGN nationalism’ (erciyuan minzu zhuyi) has been coined to describe this phenomenon in previous research. This study aims to contribute to a further exploration of

Labour market integration of migrants is key for inclusive societies. Employment protection Legislation (EPL) provides the institutional foundations to facilitate such integration. While the effect of EPL on migrant’s employment is well studied, migrant’s in-work poverty has been relatively overlooked by the academic literature. This thesis therefore seeks to answer the following question: To what

Abonnemang blir en allt vanligare avtalsform. Det kan handla om allt från tjänster som mobiltelefoni till att leasa en bil. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka konsumentskydd som erhålls på den svenska abonnemangsmarknaden. Studien använder sig av två metoder, rättsdogmatisk metod och en rättssociologiska metod. Den rättsdogmatiska metoden används för att redogöra vilka skydd som erhålls oSubscriptions are becoming a more popular form of agreement. It can be anything from a mobile plan to leasing a car. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which consumer protection is obtained in the Swedish subscription market. The study uses two methods, legal dogmatic method and a legal sociological method. The legal dogmatic method is used to identify which protections are obtained and t

The International Development Community places individuals at the center of concern for policy making. This study investigates why group analyses are crucial for the welfare of individual and social stability, and claims that the concept of Horizontal Inequality (group-based inequality) is important but widely neglected. The group of investigation is the indigenous population in Chiapas, Mexico’s

Vid studier av den psykosociala arbetsmiljön inom hälso- sjukvård- och omsorgssektorn har Arbetsmiljöverket identifierat brister i kommunikationen på arbetsplatserna, brister i kunskap om arbetsmiljöfrågor och höga stressnivåer. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur undersköterskor och vårdbiträden på ett äldreboende upplever hur de blir bemötta på sin arbetsplats och i sin yrkesroll. De

Varierande likhet i blomdoft – beror det på släktskapsband? De senaste decennierna har kunskapen om blomdoft och dess betydelse i interaktioner mellan växter och insekter ökat avsevärt. Det finns en stor mängd olika doftämnen i blommors doft och blomdoften kan vara högst variabel, inte bara mellan arter utan också mellan individer av samma art. Även om vissa doftämnen verkar sakna ekologisk funktUnderstanding the evolutionary processes behind intraspecific variation and population differentiation is an important topic in biology, since intraspecific variation is required for speciation. Angiosperms show fascinating diversity in flower designs. Since the flower is crucial for reproductive success and at the same time often involved in biotic interactions with pollinators and/or herbivores,

Laserstrålprofilen av en OPCPA Lasrar har blivit en stor del av våra liv. De finns i CD-läsare, i streckkodsläsare i affären, inom medicin som sätt att skära utan att använda knivar, och i många andra applikationer. I vetenskaplig forskning finns det användning för förstärkta laserstrålar med långa bandbredder av våglängder. Det finns många metoder för att amplifiera laserstrålar. OPCPA är en såOPCPA stands for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. It is a nonlinear method for amplifying broadband laser beams. The spatial properties of the output of the laser beam depends on the amplification method itself and the broadband configuration. The phase matching in this method causes the different wavelengths in the broadband to have different angular dispersions. In order to inves

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease affecting more than 3.5 million people in the world, resulting in a high burden to societies. More research on IBD is definitely in need to prevent the disease and treat IBD patients. The intestinal epithelial barriers of IBD patients are weakened due to the inflammation, thereby, enteric microbes in the gut may translocate to the circulating sy

This is a study of uncertainty in the corporate setting from the perspective of individual employees. While some interviewees talk about accepting uncertainty as an unavoidable state, others tell stories of dread and anguish, associated with instability in the work environment. This research shows how uncertainty as a stress inducing factor can affect both productivity and employee wellbeing, by r

Idag är var tionde art i Sveriges skogar hotad. På Sveriges skogsägare vilar således ett stort ansvar för att bevara landets biologiska mångfald. Svenska Kyrkan har som Sveriges femte största skogsägare och på grund av sina värderingar möjlighet att göra stora insatser i arbetet för att bevara Sveriges skogsarter. I min studie har jag sett att Svenska Kyrkans arbete för att bevara biologisk mångfa

Global gene expression of reprogrammed dendritic cells Cell reprogramming refers to the emergent ability to transform one cell type into another functional cell type. Gene expression gives us insight into the function of a cell, what protein it is producing and what functional pathways it is maintaining. In this project, I analyzed the expression of all genes of dendritic cells (DCs) reprogrammed

Denna uppsats avser att utreda hur anställningsskyddet för en professionell tränare ser ut. Syftet är att tydliggöra under vilka förutsättningar som en idrottsförening kan avsluta en tränares anställning. Särskilt fokus riktas mot frågan om det utifrån den nuvarande arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen går att rättfärdiga en uppsägning av en tränare som sker med hänvisning till att denne inte presterat This thesis is aimed at describing the employment protection of sports coaches. The purpose is to clarify the conditions under which a sports association can terminate a coach's employment. Focus will be placed on the question of whether it, on the basis of the current labour law legislation in Sweden, is possible to justify the dismissal of a coach on the grounds that he or she has not achiev

Ett barn har behov av en vårdnadshavare från dess födelse till sin 18 års dag. Vem det ska vara regleras i föräldrabalken och den gör modern till ensam vårdnadshavare till ett barn när det föds utanför äktenskapet. Om föräldrarna vill kan de ansöka om gemensam vårdnad, eller då samtycke inte finns kan den andra föräldern väcka talan om ensam eller gemensam vårdnad. För att förstå varför reglerna A child needs a guardian from its birth to its 18th birthday. Who that should be is regulated in the föräldrabalken which makes the mother the sole custodian of a child when a child is born out of wedlock. If the parents so wish, they can apply for joint custody, or when consent is not reached, the other parent can sue for solitary or joint custody. In order to understand why the rules are formed
