För etthundrafjorton år sedan sa en man vid namn Oskar Trapp att Helsingborg behöver ett museum. Etthundratolv år senare invigdes Dunkers Kulturhus, ett efterlängtat tillskott till kulturutbudet i staden. Under de två år som huset har funnits har vissa grupper lyst med sin frånvaro. En av de grupperna är invandrare. Eftersom Dunkers Kulturhus ska finnas där för allaså behövdes det en plan för att

Denna fallstudie behandlar USA:s negativa ställningstagande till Kyoto-protokollet. Syftet är att utreda och analysera vilka olika faktorer som kan tänkas ha legat till grund för den ändrade inställning som landet intog efter att George W. Bush hade tillträtt som president 2001. Både systemfaktorer och inrikespolitiska faktorer tas i beaktande och hela studien tar George W. Bushs person som utgång

This Master degree thesis aims to assess the UN-mediation attempts in Cyprus during 1999-2004. Performing a qualitative case study, I employ mediation theory to examine the UN good offices efforts, in order to see if the chosen mediation strategy can explain the failure to solve the dispute. Results show that the timing for mediation was favourable, and the context of the conflict indicated that a

Föreliggande uppsats är en forskningsöversikt på användningsområdet för begreppet ?judikalisering?. Trots att termen används relativt ofta i samhällsdebatten finns mycket lite vetenskaplig forskning på området och en välutformad definition lyser med sin frånvaro Den gängse begreppsförklaringen fokuserar på ökad domstolsmakt och ställer principen om folksuveränitet mot rättsstatens grundsatser. Dä

Jag har valt att se närmre på hur några arbetsledare i den kommunala hemtjänsten upplever den mellanposition de befinner sig i, samt de effekter denna mellanposition möjligtvis har på ledarskapet. Intresset av att belysa just arbetsledarnas situation bottnar i att jag ser den som relativt svår. De befinner sig i en klämsits där de ofta med mycket små medel ska lyckas göra verklighet av de mål och

The results from 13 interviews and one opinion poll answered by resident physicians were interpreted as stories about identity as primary material for this thesis. The resident physicians stress the importance of considering whether their work primarily concerns curing people from diseases or if the process of working with sick people also includes how to handle the pressure of work, either by ada

Det finns idag många i Sverige som bär på mer än ett kulturellt och etniskt ursprung. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur unga med två olika etniska kulturer skapar sin identitet. För uppsatsen har fem kvinnor respektive fem män vars föräldrar kommer från olika kulturer intervjuats. Alla intervjupersonerna är uppvuxna i Sverige och har starka band till landet. De teoretiska utgångspunkt

This study focuses on the psycholinguistic problems that people may encounter when it comes to ambiguity. The most common words in English are ambiguous. An example is deck, which can both mean the deck of a ship or a deck of cards. To be able to distinguish the meaning of an ambiguous word, people naturally look at the context in which the word appears. So a sentence like ?The farmer filled the

Islam manifests itself in various forms and contexts. It is not merely to be understood as a static religion of theology, beliefs and practices but also as dynamic religion, implemented daily by Muslims in different contexts and frames. Since the rise of Islam in 610 C.E., Muslims have moved from the Arabic Peninsula throughout the world. On British soil, early settlements and the presence of Mus

Retrieval-induced forgetting refers to the notion that remembering may sometimes cause forgetting of related but currently irrelevant items. This thesis aimed at investigating if this phenomenon generalizes to a cross-language design. The hypothesis was that retrieval-induced forgetting is induced also when performing retrieval-practice in a second language. Results confirmed the hypothesis but al

The Swedish metropolitan politics have had the bottom-up perspective as a major principle to evolve the democratic participation in segregated areas. My objective was to investigate if a bottom-up perspective has been used as a method of evaluation in a sample of 10 evaluation reports made about democratic participation in Malmö. The key questions were; In the evaluations: - How was the bottom-u

In the so-called fish film-experiment designed by the linguist Russell S. Tomlin it is tested whether the assignment of grammatical subject in on-line descriptive discourse production can be controlled by controlling the visual attentional detection of participants in a scene. It is an implicit assumption in the fish film framework that the point of optical focus is a good indicator of focal atten

IICap is an environment for analysing eye tracking data on the Windows platform. Interviews with personnel were conducted to identify problems in the current process of eye tracking data analysis at the University of Lund eye tracking lab. A review of previous research on visualisation of eye tracking data and important eye tracking statistics was conducted. An IICap design proposal with suggeste

Traditional publishers of journalistic material have found a new channel through which they can reach the readers namely the Internet. The material is often the same in the online version as in the paper based version, but not enough thought has been paid to how the different media influence the way of reading. The Internet as medium imposes new criteria as to how the content should be published.

The world of today is characterized by enormous flows of various kinds of information. People are engaged in vast interactions, irrespective of nationality, culture or mother tongue. On the political scene an increased openness and extended international co-operation are obvious signs of the times. In Europe the co-operation within the EU, which soon is about to comprise more nations and thereby

Abstract Intense competition in the building industry has forced building companies to develop highly efficient and optimised building solutions. This project, with a loggia that works both as an extended living room and a glazed balcony offers a highly economic viable alternative to standard balconies. This alternative is likely to attract build master since the area of the loggia will be part o

Seven or eight thousand years ago, as the farthest the human memory can reach, the Egyptians established a great civilization that was considered as the origin of civilization on the Earth. There is no place in Egypt where man cannot find evidence that enlighten this civilization and tell about Egypt's role in most of the world's historic events from the beginning of mankind until the pres
