This essay presents a perspective in which knowledge is to be understood as abilities of the nervous system. Classic epistemology has not been able to shed sufficient light on a large number of conundrums that arise from its analyses on human belief, which motivates a different approach. An introductory discussion herein argues for a new naturalistic principle concerning what I have termed ‘congru
I och med teknisk utveckling har nya forskningsfält uppkommit som sociologer måste undersöka för att förstå samhället och nutida kultur. Genom internet kan individer interagera med varandra i realtid oavsett var de befinner sig. Det tidsfördriv som denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka är datorspelandet. Det sätt som spelarna använder sig av för att visa sitt missnöje är via text, vilket denna uppsats
The aim of this study is to examine norms about gender and sexuality, expressed and reproduced in relation between young people based on sex education in the danish primary school.

Therefore I chose to analyze the claims-making activity in the con
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur män utsatta för våld i nära relationer framställer och talar om sina upplevelser. Hur konstruerar männen sin situation, sina partners och sig själva i sina berättelser? Vi studerar hur männens framställningar samspelar med den samhälleliga diskursen om våld i nära relationer, vilken ofta förmedlar en bild av mannen som förövare och kvinnan som offer. Män s
The increasingly competitive climate has caused companies to pursue counteractive strategies such as M&As in the hope to attain synergy potential. However, M&As are associated with a high failure rate and synergy realization is often unsuccessful. One area poorly covered in previous literature and often unattended by merging parties is synergies within logistics, despite its significance f
Retroaktivitetsförbudet inom skatterätten instiftades 1980 och innebär ett förbud mot att införa skattelag med retroaktiv verkan. Inspirationen kom från straffrätten i vilken principen om förbud mot retroaktiv lag länge hade varit förhärskande. Retroaktivitetsförbudet har med sin ställning som grundlag hög formell status i det svenska rättsväsendet vilket borde borga för att både domstolar och la

In this paper, we investigate the predictive performance of eight common Value at Risk (VaR) estimation methods with the daily data of OMX Stockholm 30 and FTSE 100 indexes. These methods include non-parametric, parametric as well as Extreme Value Theory approaches whose daily and 10-day estimates are then evaluated using the Christoffersen frequency test. The reason why we choose these two stock
This thesis discusses water supply and the impacts of tenure policy in an urban context in a developing country, particularly the relationship between tenure status and access to water. The relationship between tenure security and poverty reduction has been vividly debated among many researchers over several decades. Recent research on water supply has highlighted the linkage to tenure and suggest

A range of different certifications for environmentally friendly food have appeared. More costumers want to buy their food directly from the farmer at the same time as a more and more globalized world advocates free trade and removal of barriers to trade. By u
Humans are social animals. We wish to establish social contact with each other, and one fundamental way of doing this is through gaze. But how long do we need to look at someone to establish purpose?
