Den goda lagstiftningen: en kritisk diskursanalys av proposition 1971:51 ny rennäringslag

The exploitation of Sápmi, Sami land, began about 400 years ago. With a post-colonial approach, I, in this essay analyse the discourses behind the law that regulates reindeer herding. With a critical discourse analysis of a government bill (proposition 1971:51) with post-colonial and Marxist theories, I show that discourses of profit and development influence the way Sami culture is perceived. In

Vikings and the Viking Age: A Needs-Based Approach

The Viking Age has long been understood to be a time of great violence. However, research in the last 50 or so years has tended to focus only on more peaceful aspects of Nordic cultures during that period. This thesis works to change that, and tries to find ways to bring violence back into the fold. The aim of this project is to test Johan Galtung’s needs-based typology of violence against Viking

What’s the Problem of ‘Climate Migration’ Represented to be? A Discourse Analysis of Policies in Bangladesh

This thesis aims to understand the discourses of ‘climate migration’ represented in the policies of Bangladesh, based on the conceptual framework created by existing discursive debate on ‘climate migration’ and migration theories. With the guidance of ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) approach proposed by Bacchi (2009), six national policies of Bangladesh are selected and a full- dimen

Less is less? – A comparative case study of Finnish NGOs’ exit strategies after the cut of Finland's official development assistance in 2016

The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con

Geofysisk undersökning av grundvattenskydd för planerad reservvattentäkt i Mjölkalånga, Hässleholms kommun

För att avgöra huruvida en isälvsavlagring som enligt Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU) bedöms ha uttagsmöjligheter på >125 l/s väster om Finjasjön är lämplig som reservgrundvattentäkt till Hässleholms kommun utfördes en geofysisk undersökning. Mätningar utfördes med georadar, stångslingram med tre frekvenser samt resistivitetsmätning och inducerad polarisation (IP) i form av en CVES-mätning

Att säga, skratta och snäsa: Om översättningen av anföringsverben i en rysk prosatext

Denna uppsats kretsar kring min översättning av ett utdrag ur Alisa Ganijevas roman "Zjenich i nevesta". Inledningsvis redovisas en källtextanalys som tar upp kontext, teman, ironi, bildspråk samt textens narrativa egenskaper. I den efterföljande översättningsstrategin diskuterar jag var jag lagt mig på skalan imitativ–funktionell ifråga om översättningens semantiska och pragmatiska aspe

Fluid-Structure Interaction; Numerical Modelling andExperimental Comparison

Målet med examensarbetet är att undersöka påverkan av fluid-struktur interaktionen för en svängande kropp nedsänkt i vatten. Vidare är det undersökt huruvida det går att modellera denna typ av fenomen med akustiska element i LS-DYNA med Mat\_Acoustic. Experiment med en svängande låda utfördes för att kunna jämföras med simuleringar av samma uppsättning. Experimenten innefattade fyra olika svängninThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on a submerged oscillating structure. It is to be determined whether it is possible to model such effects with acoustic fluid elements in LS-DYNA using Mat\_Acoustic. Experiments of an oscillating submerged box were performed and the results were used to compare simulations of the same setups. The setups compri

Cash is Queen - Impacts of conditional cash transfers on women’s empowerment

This thesis investigates the causal effects of the Peruvian conditional cash transfer (CCT) program, Juntos, on women’s empowerment defined along the psychological and familial dimensions. Usually, the main goal of CCTs is to reduce poverty. Women are key actors in the fulfillment of conditions and recipients of the transfer, and can thus also be affected by the program in terms of empowerment. Th

Grönyta och biologisk mångfald i urbana trädgårdar - En studie av privatägda trädgårdar i Lunds tätort

I svenska städer besår cirka 50 % av städernas grönytor av parker, kyrkogårdar, parkleder, men även av trädgårdar. Den här studien visar att äldre trädgårdar är större och grönare. Varför är då privata trädgårdar i urbana miljöer av intresse? Privatägda trädgårdar bidrar i stor utsträckning till den totala andelen grönyta i urbana miljöer. Grönytor bidrar till infiltration av dagvatten, vilket min

A parametric approach to data cleaning of ion current measurements

In this thesis, a few possible methods to clean nuisance signals from ion current measurements are explored. Ion current measurements can be used to optimise a combustion engine, but interference from the ignition system coupled with clipping caused by limitations in the measurement equipment limit the amount of data that can be extracted. This thesis develops a model which is used for simulation

Women as victims of domestic violence in China
