"Jag tycker det är lite kryptiskt" : fem svensklärare om litterär analys ur flera perspektiv
Flera av läroplanens formuleringar är vaga och lämnas okommenterade av Skolverket. Det skapar en osäkerhet om hur lärare förväntas tolka innehållet och arbeta med det. Vi har fokuserat denna studie på den vaga frasen ”ur flera perspektiv” som återfinns i kunskapskravet om litterär analys i kursen Svenska 3. Vi anser att en praxis ännu inte har etablerats och vi vill bidra till dokumentation av den
Små deponier - risker och riskklassificering
I Sverige finns tusentals nedlagda soptippar, även kallade deponier. Deponier kan vara en miljörisk då regn och ytvatten tränger genom deponin och lakar ur föroreningar från avfallet som sedan kan spridas i miljön. När avfallet bryts ned kan dessutom gaser bildas som kan resultera i brand eller explosion. Under 2007-2008 inventerade Helsingborgs stad sina nedlagda deponier. Vid inventeringen gjord
Digital ritningshantering i byggproduktion
Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga för- och nackdelarna med den nya digitala ritningshanteringen gentemot den traditionella hanteringen med pappersritningar. Vilka incitament som finns för att motivera den nya arbetsmetoden och om kan det påvisas att det bidrar till en effektivare produktion samt att det ger en ekonomisk fördel. Det är en kvalitativ studie som har utförts i form av en falls
The Decline of Patriarchy in High-Tech Economies: Economic Growth and the Gender Wage Gap in the East Asian Tigers, 1980-2010
Previous research suggests that gender wage discrimination contributes to economic growth in the context of female-dominated low-tech manufacturing and patriarchal employment systems, such as the ones found in the East Asian Tigers in the 1960s to 1980s. In a panel data analysis, this thesis investigates the relationship between the gender wage gap and economic growth in the four East Asian Tigers
Lifestyle change that matters: Introducing an ethics-as-politics approach to social change of consumer society in a Danish urban context
Climate change is real and imminent, and mitigation and adaptation responses are vital and urgent. Denmark is renowned for its aspirations for sustainability and concerns in that regard, especially among its citizenry. Nevertheless, high-impact lifestyles persist which put an excessive pressure on the global climate system and expose a tension between pro-environmental dispositions and actual cons

The aim with this essay was to study professionals and directors reasonings when in comes to integrating people with mental disabilities into the community. My intention was to gain knowledge and understanding about the work that is being done in supported housing for people with mental disabilities. I have assumed a qualitative approach and conducted semistructured interviews. I have interviewed
Shit Matters! Assessing sociocultural barriers and opportunities for upscaling adoption of human faeces derived fertilizers in central Uganda
Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p
Characterization of microorganisms for conversion of aromatic substrates
Lignin as a feedstock for chemicals – a step towards a greener world The world and its inhabitants are standing in front of a great challenge if the Earth should continue to be liveable. There is a pressure both on ourselves and the industries to turn into a more renewable lifestyle instead of the one based on fossil fuels which is dominating nowadays. To do this, an abundantly available starting
”Bland onda ting välja det minst onda”: Konservativa Svensk Tidskrifts syn på icke-demokratiska stater i Europa 1918–1945
From the perspective of the Swedish conservative magazine Svensk Tidskrift, this thesis compares the view on nine different totalitarian and authoritarian regimes in Europe during the period 1918–1945. There is a clear research gap when it comes to comparative studies of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes in particular, and of authoritarian regimes in general – a gap this thesis aims to bridge
Occupational Story Ending- Interventioner inriktade på aktivitetshistoria inom palliativ vård
Bakgrund: Inom palliativ vård möter arbetsterapeuter ett dilemma eftersom fokus ofta ligger på att öka patientens självständighet, underlätta återgång till roller, aktiviteter och relationer. Denna tillvägagångssätt förbiser patienternas behov av att förbereda sig inför döden och få en meningsfull avslutning. Denna studie fokuserar på patientens aktivitetshistoria som intervention och hur den bidr
Avfallshantering i kulturmärkt stadsmiljö – exemplet AF-borgen
I områden som idag är kulturbevarare finns det få möjligheter till en god avfallshantering, på grund av skyddet kulturmiljölagen bidrar med. Kulturmiljölagen hamnar då i konflikt med Sveriges miljömål, som strävar efter en god avfallshantering. Frågan är hur man på bästa sätt ska lösa denna konflikt, så att båda målen blir tillfredsställda och så att även kulturmärkta byggnader kan dra sitt strå tIn areas where buildings and surroundings are protected by the Swedish law of conservation of cultural heritage, it might be a challenge to maintain a municipal solid waste management system that favours a sustainable environment and lives up to the national environmental goals. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a solution to this discrepancy, with AF-borgen in central Lund
The narrative functions of props. Portable communication devices in Die Hard (1988) & Die Hard2: Die Harder (1990)
The current study sets out to investigate the narrative functions of props that take the particular form of portable communication devices (more specifically walkie-talkies and airplane phones) in Die Hard (1988) and Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990). The methodology used is the semiotic concepts of denotation and connotation with a supporting theoretical framework based on two principal forms of prop

Development of an Evaluation Method for Driver Vehicle Interaction
The master’s thesis was performed in collaboration with the department responsible for the driver vehicle interaction at Scania CV AB. The interaction between the driver and the vehicle contributes to the usability and overall experience of the product as well as to safety. In order to create a good interaction it is important to evaluate it. The purpose of the thesis work was therefore to develop
The Impact of the Blade Aspect Ratio on Axial Compressor Efficiency and Stability and its Correlation to the Skoch Parameter
Genom att utvärdera Skochparametern och skapa tre konceptkompressorer har examensarbetet försökt komma till en slutsats om hur bladens längdförhållande påverkar en kompressors verkningsgrad och stabilitet. Skochparametern visade sig fungera mindre bra som ett verktyg och det visade sig att ett lägre längdförhållande innebar en liten minsking i verkningsgrad, men en betydande ökning i stabilitet. The design of an axial compressor is mainly the trade-off between efficiency, stability and cost. A parameter that affects all of these three aspects is the blade aspect ratio. Due to the intricacy and complexity of the flow in a compressor, solely the effect of the blade aspect ratio variation is difficult to obtain. A parameter that supposedly is a gauge of the combined airfoil and end wall loa

HD is fully penetrant around 40 CAG repeats and is characterized by motor impairments, psychiatric disturbances and cognitive deterioration. Unintended weight loss is also a clinical feature of HD, leading to reduced morality and a decline in quality of life in HD pati
Bistånd och utländska direktinvesteringars påverkan på fattigdom
This paper examines the effect that aid and foreign direct investment have on poverty by assessing both their separate and interactive effects. We used a Generalized Method of Moments to analyse 107 countries during the time period 1987-2014 and measured the effects of aid and foreign direct investment as growth of inflow per capita. Our result indicates that separately growth in aid and in foreig
The effect of enzymatic digestion of tonsillar tissue on the yield and pattern recognition receptors expression level on human dendritic cell subsets
En bättre förståelse över ytproteiner på dendritiska subtyper Av Zackarias Söderlund Immunförsvaret ska se till att kroppen dödar inkräktare såsom virus och bakterier men även kroppens egna celler som omvandlats till tumörceller. Dendritiska celler har en viktig roll i detta då de ständigt skannar sin omgivning och instruerar resten av immunförsvaret om påträffande organismer/celler ska tolereraThe development of vaccines against tumours are gaining increased attraction and one strategy to increase the efficiency of these vaccines is to target the antigen or drug to cell surface receptors on dendritic cells (DC), such as the C-type lectin receptors (CLR). To this end, knowledge of the expression levels of CLR on DC subsets is important and it has been studied in different tissues and blo
