Ever since nationalism emerged over a century ago, discussions have been lively about its survival or declination. These questions still are actual and in the process of globalisation and internationalisation perhaps even more so. Multiethnic societies grapple with nationalism and ethnic problems all over the world; so also in Central Europe. Nevertheless, the expressions of nationalism are varyin

David Lewis heter upphovsmannen till den kontroversiella teorin som kallas modal realism. Den modala realismens syfte är att förklara vad det innebär för en möjlig sats att vara just möjlig. Teorin säger att det måste finnas en värld vari sådana satser får sin satisfiering. Därför är alla möjligheter aktualiserade någonstans och allt som kan hända händer i någon av alla möjliga världar. Lewis mena
Problemfomulering: Ystad, som är beläget längs Skånes sydkust, har länge varit utsatt för kusterosion. När det blåser över Östersjön genereras vågor som orsakar uppspolning och direkt erosion av klitterna på stranden. Ett av de mest utsatta områdena är Ystads Sandskog, beläget öster om Ystads centrum. Här karakteriseras strandprofilen av en relativt kort strand med klitter som skyddar den låglänta

Among other things the regional social insurance office was attacked because of long investigation hours and indinstinct working methods and was blamed for not being able to solve the unhealth in the society. This lead to the reformation of the previous region
Many of the coastal areas in Vietnam have elevations below one meter making them vulnerable to salt water intrusion, flooding, and erosion. The Red River Delta (RRD) located in northern Vietnam has suffered severe erosion along certain stretches of coastline during at least the last hundred years. At Hai Hau Beach in the RRD, a land area of 16 km in length and 2.5 km in width has been lost during
Uppsatsen behandlar kataloger för lantbruksmaskiner för att undersöka hur och vad som gör dessa till reklam genom reklamkännetecknande variabler som bild, text och argument. Dessutom jämförs katalogerna med postorderkataloger.
Uppsatsen är en teoretisk genomgång av begrepp och begreppsområden som avser vuxnas lärande. Fokus är progressiv pedagogik där de som lär är aktiva att söka sin egen kunskap. Förförståelsen är en lärmodell som har konstruerats med ledning av författarens praktiska verksamhet som ansvarig för en ledarskapsutbildning och tidigare pedagogisk erfarenhet från studier på A-och B-nivån. Begreppsområden i

This study examines young Japanese women's attitude toward marriage and career. Emphases are placed on both the past and present roles of women as they evolve in Japanese culture. A survey-type questionnaire was conducted to 16 young women in Tokyo, university students and office ladies, aged from 20-35. Three in-depth interviews were also included. The results of the study indicated that toda
Most often when developing a new system there is a need get a functioning testtool up and running. Including time, cost and resources the solution isn?t always obvious, developing your own or buy one ?of the shelf?. The purpose of this thesis is to study how a general testtool for executing functional tests should be designed to be reusable, be based on recognized knowledge and be able to fast and
This essay aimed to give a basis for the departement of social work in Lund in its task to recruit students from underrepresented parts of the population to the departement and to the university by presenting which social groups are underrepresentated. The research also aimed to give an explanation of how the backgrounds of the student´s have influenced them and lead them to undertake studies of s
Chinese Remainder Theorem is used to solving problems in computing, coding and cryptography. In computing we can compute with shorter numbers instead of large numbers and this will make the computing-process faster and easier. In coding it can be used for error-searching and error-regulating. Cryptography means that we can send a coded message and that no one will be able to read it without the d
The weakness of Japan's economy during the "lost decade" of the 1990's prompted critical revaluation of many regulatory policies that became entrenched during the country's rapid expansion in the postwar era. At the time of the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, regulation and the behavior of the private sector had combined to cause low levels of imports and inward inves
The purpose of this research paper was study to what extent English language-culture has impacted the lifestyle of contemporary Chinese women in urban area.

Stratego is a boardgame not very different from chess, that contains hidden information. Because of this, existing programs play at beginner level. The purpose of this thesis is to adjust a minimax algorithm so that it passes the demands of Stratego, and then build a Stratego agent around it. Tests with existing minimax algorithms leads to the development p-e-minimax. This algorithm uses two diffe
The world is getting smaller - or bigger -some will argue. Not many geographical spots are untouched, and international brands are known all over the world. It has become easier, and increasingly attractive for Trans National Corporations from countries with strong economies to relocate, out source or establish new branches less wealthy countries in the East, often portrayed as beneficial to all p
This thesis provides a useful open source system for generating motion sequences for the AIBO ERS-7 robot. For this purpose a virtual ERS-7 robot and a corresponding virtual environment have been implemented. All motions are simulated by means of a physics engine, and several useful features have been implemented, in order to allow development of motion sequences as well as exporting of them to th
