I denna studie kommer vi att undersöka hur en ideell organisation, genom sin digitala kommunikation på Facebook, konstruerar bilden av kvinnan samt hur detta ramar in en lösning på problemet om kvinnors frigörelse. Då ett flertal ideella organisationer har en uttalad ambition att främja jämställdhet mellan könen, är denna studie menad att undersöka huruvida deras kommunikation stämmer överens med The purpose of this study is to examine how one non-governmental organisation (NGO) through its digital communication on Facebook constructs the image of women, and how it frames problems and solutions associated to women’s liberation. Since an increased number of NGOs have now an outspoken ambition concerning gender equality, this study intends to determine and discover whether their communicatio

Med utgångspunkt i att jag själv är dykinstruktör och relaterar många pedagogiska teorier till dykundervisning så har jag valt att undersöka hur instruktörer inom dykorganisationen Global Underwater Explorers uppfattar sin pedagogiska roll. Jag har genomför kvalitativa intervjuer med nio instruktörer och har genomfört en fenomenologisk analys av det empiriska materialet för att hitta kärnan av hur

Satellites are key components in today's modern world, but they are expensive to launch and the orbits are crowded. With use of a dual band circular polarization selective structure (CPSS) the satellites can be improved and the number of reflectors needed to carry out a certain task can be reduced. A dual band CPSS reflects one handedness of circular polarization and transmits the other, over

Testing and validation of fingerprint sensors with human labor is time consuming, costly and lacks the speed, accuracy and repeatability required for sufficient results. The thesis investigates the possibility of an automated solution using an industrial robot with force feedback control. Several force feedback controllers are implemented and evaluated. The best controller is implemented together

Många företag använder ett kundhanteringssystem för att registrera interaktioner med sina kunder. I en allt mer mobil värld vill användarna av dessa system kunna använda systemen var de än befinner sig men oförändrad prestanda och funktionalitet.Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh

Today's network cameras are constantly evolving, giving us higher resolution and higher quality video streams which demands higher capacity data links. In Pan, Tilt, Zoom (rotating) cameras the Slip Ring acts as the single communication link between the stationary and rotating parts of the camera and at the same time enables unrestricted rotation. It is therefore a key component within the cam

In this essay, I use discourse theory on three versions of the Swedish abortion law: the current law from 2016, the law from 1974 and a bill from an abortion committee added in 1965. I also do a thematic content analysis on a parliamentary bill from 1974 discussing the need for and the purpose of a more permissive law. The history of the Swedish abortion law is diverse. In 1938, the law stated tha

Europeiska fotbollsklubbar har i allt högre grad kommit att anpassa sig efter den globala tevemarknaden och de potentiella nya supportrar den för med sig snarare än sina lokala supportrar. Mot den bakgrunden har ett visst samhällsvetenskapligt intresse börjat hysas för så kallade satelitsupportrar; det vill säga supportrar på distans som huvudsakligen konsumerar sitt lag via teve och andra medier.

In this study, I demonstrate that identity-building is an important discursive strategy for President Barack Obama in the seven-year long debate surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The data for the study comes from a 6-million word corpus of speeches that were held by Obama between January 2009 and January 2016, all published by the White House. The speeches are classified according to genr

In trying to find a project from my bachelor’s degree, I looked back at my previous 3 years studying design. I wanted to give myself a challenge and decided to take this opportunity to work on some of my problem areas. My personal style have always been minimalistic but not explored enough as my projects often becomes conceptual with less focus on the aesthetics of the finished product and more on

The expansion of the internet has increased steadily since its introduction in the early 1990’s. Whilst having many positive effects on many different areas of society, one area that has not been thoroughly analysed is the political. Being a source for information and communication the potential for the internet to have political implications is large. This essay analyses the possible effects high

The following thesis is a quantitative study on sexuality as it relates to gender and desire. By using the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) on a non-representative (snowball) sample, I want to explore ways of “measuring” and understanding sexuality on a quantitative level. My aim is to examine how the respondents’ sexuality is conveyed through KSOG and to what extent that picture corresponds t

ChemCo is a high quality producer in the speciality chemical market, a market characterised by complex production and high variability. With limited system-support and limited data quality, delivery accuracy suffered, and so did production efficiency. ChemCo believed that this was due to poor lead-time performance, why they wished to research the problem. Research on setting lead-times has focused

On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of urban Syrian refugees in re-establishing livelihoods in Istanbul after displacement. The first part of the thesis identifies social exclusion mechanisms, including lack of access to a stable legal status, education and permission to work legally, as well as extensive discrimination and harassment as constituting

I provide evidence on the impact of pre-primary school expansion on maternal labour supply in the context of South Africa. I draw on administrative data from the South African National Census in 2001 and 2011, and a Community Survey in 2007, to extract household information. My identification strategy exploits the staggered timing and intensity in the expansion of pre-primary school facilities acr
