This essay shows how Freudian psychoanalytic literary criticism can be used to analyze representations of what could be called literary characters’ unconscious, i.e. their thoughts and dreams, to attempt to determine and explain their view of women. The analysis serves as an example of what EFL teachers can focus on regarding Freudian criticism. This is applied to Winston, the protagonist of Georg

Den här studien avsåg att lyssna till tonåringars funderingar kring familjeliv, föräldraskap och tonårstid. Mycket finns skrivet om tonåringar från vuxnas perspektiv, den här studien vill lyfta fram ungdomars egna röster med utgångspunkten att vi kan lära mycket av dem, om vi bara frågar och att det är kunskap som både föräldrar, familjebehandlare och alla andra vuxna kan ha nytta av. En kvalitati

The American company town has, by several authors, been pronounced dead in its current state. In this study, the concept of the company town is applied to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. When applying the concept of the company town in a contemporary context, the exact pattern that characterised the company town during the 19th and early 20th century cannot be followed. By making

Studien undersöker och bidrar med förståelse kring hur gröna obligationer handlas i sekundärmarknaden under kristider jämfört med konventionella obligationer genom att analysera deras respektive yield to maturity under Corona-pandemin. Studien består i en genomgång av 6700 företagsobligationer i valutorna EUR, NOK och SEK där resultatet styrker den hypotes om att ingen skillnad föreligger mellan g

Skånes konsumtion kan påverka en hållbar utveckling i världen Hur påverkar lokala politiska åtgärder implementationen av Agenda 2030? Finns det en risk för att åtgärder motverkar en hållbar utveckling? En växande konsumtion är en av världens stora hållbarhetsutmaningar. Överexploatering av naturresurser och föroreningar i luft och vatten är några av konsekvenserna. Konsumtion i Skåne påverkar omgThe pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot

Quantification through image analysis is used in a multitude of fields, and often requires algorithms tailored to the specific task and object that needs to be quantified. The need for flexibility means that such segmentation algorithms are quickly becoming outdated with the advent of convolutional neural networks, which can be trained to fit the specific requirements of the user. One of the field

Den här studien undersöker huruvida medierapporteringen av visselblåsare påverkar vilket fokus media väljer att lägga i sin rapportering: på visselblåsaren eller den information som har läckts. Analysen genomfördes med en narrativ textanalys där totalt sex stycken artiklar om Mark Felt, personen bakom Watergate-visselblåsaren Deep Throat, och Chelsea Manning. Resultatet visar att det finns en skil

As institutional racism and the underrepresentation of BAME have become world-wide central issues, the question of equal opportunities for upward mobility in the labour market and social mobility for this particular community are at the forefront, including the UK context. Evidence suggests that BAME have unequal access to opportunities for career progression in the workplace and that upward mobil

Community-based governance (CBG) has become a widely accepted concept for rural water provision in low and middle-income countries. However, it is being questioned if CBG has reached its limits due to numerous reports of the non-functionality of rural water systems. This study aims at understanding the role of intermediary organizations for CBG and how their relational character can improve rural

Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka och utvärdera bindningen av molekyler mot ett målprotein som är involverad i tillväxten av cancerceller. Undersökning genomfördes på Red Glead Discovery med WAC (weak affinity chromotography) som är en kromatografisk separationsmetod, där molekyler med olika vikt pumpas genom olika kolonner och retentionstiden för molekylerna i kolonnen detekteras. MolekylThe drug discovery and development process has changed dramatically during the last decades and the growth of more efficient techniques as high throughput screening combined with combinatorial synthesis using amino acids and carboxylic acids on solid support makes it possible to investigate the affinity of molecules towards a biological target. Fragment based drug discovery (FBDD) has been impleme

Abstract The utilization of one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a feedstock for production of high value compounds is a fast developing area within cell factory engineering. Methanol is a cheap and easily stored compound, which can be produced from CO2 and renewable energy. Engineering microbial cell factories for utilization of methanol could therefore contribute to decreasing the amounts

Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t

This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S

Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in

The purpose of the study is to investigate how staff in the home care service in a medium-sized municipality experience that control and surveillance affect their professional practice. The survey method was qualitative semi-structured interviews with five employees in the home care service in a medium-sized municipality in Sweden. The results have been analyzed through theories of disciplinary po

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och analysera om den nationella inkorporeringen av Barnkonventionen (CRC) har någon inverkan på den svenska abortlagstiftningen, eftersom det i konventionens preambel konstateras att ett barn måste inneha särskilt skydd både före och efter födseln. Syftet är också att analysera vem som ses som ett barn och därmed rättighetsinnehavare. Frågan som uppsatsen

Headlined by Basel III - banking regulation has been the target of extensive revisions and remodeling in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. The same period has, in many countries, also been characterized by unprecedented accommodative monetary policy. Since banks serve as a critical transmitter of both policies, regulatory and monetary alike, their implications on bank lending merit further

Denna uppsats syfte är att förstå varför en viss grupp av människor strävar efter att bli självförsörjande när det kommer till sin matproduktion. Med hjälp av Bourdieus teoretiska begrepp habitus, som senare har vidareutvecklats inom miljörörelsen till ett ekologiskt habitus, kommer jag att analysera informanternas drivkrafter. Informanterna berättar att några av anledningarna till att de strävar
