Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi

Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

In Rev.IV:137, Christ told St. Birgitta that pilgrims to Vadstena could receive the same plenary indulgence as the one granted to the church San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The privilege was highly disputed, but in Vadstena the pilgrims crowded anyway on the feast of St. Peter in Chains on August 1, a feast where the deliverance from the captivity of sin was pivotal. This study is based on extant s

This thesis explores the aesthetic language of natural history collecting in relation to art, by analyzing Kristoffer Palmgren’s bioart piece Superman in a semiotic and discourse analytic context.

By analysing three different works of transformative literature, this thesis aims to explore the different ways in which power may express itself in the context of literature. Wide Sargasso Sea, Circe and Hag-Seed are three novels that, while remaining similar in that they are rewrites of canonised literature such as Jane Eyre, The Odyssey, and The Tempest, are different enough to provide a wide a

In his book Skin Shows, Jack Halberstam posits that depictions of monsterhood in horror media can be directly comparable to different socially constructed identities, such as gender, and even transgender. But can such a comparison be made in a text regardless of its author’s biases and intentions? The purpose of this essay is to find out how the monsters in four of H. P. Lovecraft’s short stories

Personer som tillhör flera minoritetsgrupper tenderar att uppleva en speciell typ av diskriminering och utanförskap. Det är ett problem som uppmärksammats genom det så kallade intersektionella perspektivet. Detta perspektiv visar på att det finns en komplexitet i hur mänskliga rättigheter måste definieras för att det ska vara möjligt att främja jämlikhet oberoende av vilka grupper och hur många gr

Recent years have seen a rise in the role of communities in achieving the global goals of poverty alleviation alongside environmental protection. Simultaneously, it is increasingly recognised that communities are subject to power asymmetries resulting in differential abilities among community members to benefit from the sustainable management of natural resources. Striving to explore community- ba

With the rise from populism over the last few decades, one can observe an increase in the violent clashes connected to populists. However, this seems to be in coherence with the right-wing side mostly, because the left-wing side gets forgotten in the calculations over conflict together with populism. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to dive into a case study that is taking place in Venezue

In order to investigate this relationship, data for 35 European countries are used for the period 1980-2017 and a long-run relationship between these two variables is found, as the initial Kuznets curve hypothesis is. The results indicate, the existence of the Kuz
