This research explores the promotional discourses the neoliberal experts and politicians use to legitimise the stipend shortages to the students, whose interests this policy contradicts. The thesis argues that the proponents of the reform established the dialogue with the opposition in order to avoid the large-scale protests against the policy. The study suggests that the policy promotion opens up

Purpose: To increase the understanding of storytelling in the realm of social entrepreneurship, and to highlight how storytelling is used in social entrepreneurial resource acquisition. Methodology: With an interpretivist and objectivist stance qualitative interview material has been collected from 9 respondents. Analysis and conclusions are based on an iterative interpretation of primary intervie

A Tale of Two Houses The Mazovian Plain is a geographic region in central Poland. The nothern stretch of the Plain consists of predominantly flat terrain cut by the rivers Bug and Narew, that flow into Vistula in the south. Unlike other parts of the historical district of Mazovia, the lands around the system of rivers remained a primeval woodland well into the first half of the 20th century. Nowad

The aim of the present essay is to investigate English language textbooks suitable for English 5, 6 and 7 and the extent to which the content of them addresses cultural features of different contexts where English is used. The essay also aims to investigate what types of cultural representations are featured in the textbooks and if they differ in relation to what grade they are designed for. The b

Heltäckande riskbedömning av kontaktallergiframkallande ämnen med cellbaserade metoden GARD®skin Metoden GARD®skin identifierar kontaktallergiframkallande ämnen med hög noggrannhet. Genom att sätta koncentrationen mot svarsvärdet av GARD®skin i en dos-responskurva kan metoden potentiellt utvecklas för att även klassificera styrkan och effektiviteten av ämnens förmåga att orsaka kontaktallergi. Allergic contacts dermatitis is a major health problem in the world and the disease is caused by a type IV hypersensitivity to a small chemical called a hapten. These substances are common in cosmetics, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and house-hold products, and risk factors include both inherent factors and frequent or high exposure. Hazard assessment and potency classification of sensitizers are ther

En ny metod påstås kunna analysera störningar i elnätet i realtid med hjälp av befintliga mätinstrument. Genom att beräkna flöden av svängningsenergi kan olika generatorers roller i störningen visualiseras. Från kontrollrum kan störningskällor kopplas bort och generatorers bidrag till dämpning kontinuerligt utvärderas. Men bakgrunden till metoden är grumlig och tolkningen av svängningsenergin är oElectromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi

Structural transformation is a broad concept that has been widely argued to be of great importance for long-run economic growth. A common historical pattern highlights the labour shift out of agriculture towards manufacturing and industry sectors as the main characteristic of structural transformation. Today, large parts of the world are industrialized, as a result of a successful structural chang

De europeiska konstruktionsstandarderna, eurokoderna, utgör tillsammans med nationella val i föreskriftsserien EKS (Boverkets föreskrifter om ändring i verkets föreskrifter och allmänna råd (2011:10) om tillämpning av europeiska konstruktionsstandarder (eurokoder)) ett regelsystem för konstruktionsberäkningar. EKS har sedan 2010 ersatt Boverkets tidigare konstruktionsregler, BKR. Dessa regler och

Bakgrund: Vid demens får personen olika symtom beroende på var skadan i hjärnan sitter, och ett av dessa symtom är svårigheter med kommunikationen. När befolkningen blir äldre kommer demenssjukdomar att öka. Sjuksköterskor behöver verktyg för att veta hur de kan bli bättre på att kommunicera med det ökande antalet personer med demens. Syfte: Att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan bli bättre på att komm

Determining fatty acid composition within different lipid classes is a time-consuming process. Generally, normal phase chromatography is used to separate lipids by lipid class, based on differences in polarity. Fractions of this separation are then collected and derivatized into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES), followed by analysis with gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (GC-FID).

In this Master Thesis we aim to evaluate the Robust Header Compression protocol in cel- lular IoT. The initial results show that RoHC may decrease the energy consumption signif- icantly due to its reduction of the header size. The reduction in the header size decreases the required transmission window which in turn decreases the energy consumption. The result also show that Robust Header Compress

We study the key properties of the quantum SU(2) Yang-Mills ground state and its possible role in the early Universe, in particular, as a driver of Cosmic Inflation. Using the effective action approach and separating the Yang-Mills field potential into homogeneous (condensate) and inhomogeneous (fluctuations) components, we reproduce the conformal-time solutions for the two different types of the

Uppsatsen undersöker hur femininitet förhandlas i digitala feministiska miljöer genom en fallstudie av Redditforumet r/notliketheothergirls. På forumet, som har en påstådd feministisk prägel, publicerar redditanvändare en grupp uppmärksammade memes som benämns notlikeothergirls-memes i syfte att diskutera och kritisera dessa. Memesen är utformade som en jämförelse mellan en själv, me, och andra kv

Förevarande framställning avhandlar Lagrådet och dess granskningsverksamhet. De lagförslag som utformats i enlighet med Lagrådets rekommendation håller en mycket hög kvalité. Lagstiftningen blir precis, enhetlig, förenlig med gällande rätt och med de rättsstatliga principerna. Förslaget till en ny läkemedelslag utgör ett exempel på lagstiftning som gjorts förenlig med gällande rätt, närmare bestäThe thesis discusses Lagrådet, a Swedish administrative authority that examines legislative proposals. The purpose of this study is to examine and illustrate the role of Lagrådet by discussing the legislation, which regulates the authority and examine the review that has been made by it through a case study of its reviews. The role of the authority is to assist in the legislative work of the gove

Uppsatsen berör de tal som Sverigedemokraternas partiledare Jimmie Åkesson framförde under Almedalsveckan år 2014 och 2018. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att studera hur och om Sverigedemokraternas argumentation har förändrats under en mandatperiod, då mycket i samhället har förändrats sedan det senaste valåret, exempelvis flyktingkrisen år 2015. För att besvara uppsatsems frågeställningar som lyder

László Krasznahorkai (b. 1954) is a Hungarian novelist known for his melancholic-dystopic themes and post-modern prose. He has received considerable critical acclaim, notably winning the Man Booker International Prize in 2015. He initially became famous, to a wider audience outside Hungary, through director Béla Tarrs adoption of his novels. Satantango is his debut novel and chronicles the miserab

Edward L. Bernays (1891 - 1995) was an American PR-pioneer who came into prominence during the 1920s. He made a significant contribution to the theorizing and legitimization of the field. This started with Crystallizing Public Opinion(1923)where he defined, justified and celebrated the profession. He also staged several notable PR-campaigns; e.g. ”Torches of Freedom” and ”Light's Golden Jubile

A common technique within image analysis is image classification which describes the process of reducing the information content of an image into few user-defined classes. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high spatial resolution (cm-level) images can be collected. This thesis aims at testing different methods for classifying UAV images from an agricultural crop site in the so
