The discourse on Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber has primarily been focused on the feminist undertones of her neogothic fairy tale retellings. In this essay, I apply the male and female gaze to Carter’s collection, which are perspectives I believe previous research on Carter’s works has overlooked. The incorporation of the male gaze allows for a further nuancing of Soloway’s female gaze, and my

Alfa Laval believes Supply Chain Control towers have the potential to harvest the power of digitalization in industrial manufacturing supply chains more efficiently than the alternative of applying those same digital technologies in a context without a control tower. One of the most common supply chain control tower applications is in the inventory management field. In this area, it is relevant to

The results from the time series regressions supports the two hypotheses that both the oil price and disruptions in the global value chains have a positive impact on consumer price

Denna uppsats studerar fallet Benny Fredriksson, en kulturprofil i Stockholm, som utsattes för ett kraftigt mediedrev, vilket i sin tur ledde till ett uppmärksammat självmord. Detta utspelade sig i ljuset av #metoo-rörelsen. Fokuset i uppsatsen kommer att ligga på frågan om ansvar. Med dagens digitaliserade nyhetsmedia utvecklas händelser snabbt till större mediedrev med många inblandade. Detta re

The purpose of the study has been to investigate young adults’ experiences of being unemployed in more than six months, which in a national context is being accounted as long- term unemployment.

Presupposing that the novel comprises various literary genres and forms, the paper provides a close reading through a propo

This paper aims to determine if central banks have been monetizing the government debt. That is the case if a higher government debt is associated with low short-term interest rate. The goal for central banks monetizing debt is to increase inflation, therefore decreasing the size of government debt. Three hypotheses are constructed. Firstly, higher government debt leads to lower short-term interes

With an increasing focus on the national tests in Sweden, investigating how the tests affect teachers is highly relevant. The aim of this study is to provide further insight as to what role the national tests in English 5 and 6 play on teacher mindset, in order to allow for an informed evaluation of the role they play in assessment. This was achieved by a mixed methods approach, using both a quest

Using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) for e.g. the production of starch microspheres for protein or probiotic encapsulation is a gentle and cost-effective method with the potential to be used for sustained release systems. The main component of an ATPS is water and is in this thesis implemented based on the idea that two water-soluble polymers in solution might separate due to e.g. thermodynamic

Kunskap, rädsla, moralkompass och så barnen, är de vanligaste motiven till att folk ställer om. Men ursäkter som tajt livspussel, vanor och familjens matpreferenser hindrar folk att minska sina klimatutsläpp. En förändrad livssituation och mer pengar är lösningar för att ställa bilen. Matlagningskunskap och socialt stöd hjälper folk äta mer klimatsmart. Men viktigast av allt är motivation att med Barriers and solutions to reducing the personal carbon footprint 60-70% of the global CO2-emissions are directly related to our lifestyle and changing our behaviour has a huge mitigation potential. However, many find it difficult to change their lifestyle and the factors facilitating personal behavioural change are poorly understood. This study investigates barriers and solutions to behavioural c

Vi lever i en värld där många människor inte har tillgång till rent vatten och faktorer som torka, föroreningar och ett dåligt vattenförvaltningssystem påverkar detta. På grund av sociala, politiska och ekonomiska faktorer, så är det också komplicerat för dessa människor att vara med i beslutsprocesser som kan påverkar deras tillgång till vatten. Men vad skulle hända om man kombinerade två olika vWater-related issues such as drought and water scarcity are problems that many countries around the world are facing. To solve this, multiple efforts have been made to combat these problems such as adopting Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) as a management approach. IWRM is a holistic approach that links different water systems and has therefore been popularized and conceptualized by man
