The personal is still political as heterosexual romantic relationships are permeated by gender power dynamics. Previous research has shown that men tend to exploit women’s love, appropriate their care, and not reciprocate. This study looks at the impact of feminist values on these established patterns in Switzerland, a country known for being one of the last in western Europe to give women the rig
In this thesis, we consider a 2-Higgs-doublet model with a gauged Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism as an extension of the standard model. We assume that (i) the theory at the electroweak scale is the low energy limit of a theory defined at a scale $\Lambda_{FN}$ (ii) the Yukawa couplings at $\Lambda_{FN}$ are generated by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. The first assumption is enforced by requiring that
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur homosexuella män upplever surrogatmoderskap samt hur de påverkas av samhällets syn på surrogatmoderskap. Jag tar i detta sammanhang upp förarbetet - Olika vägar till föräldraskap (SOU 2016:11) och hur rapporteringen från olika media påverkar parens inställning i surrogatmoderskapsfrågan. Materialet i denna studie består av kvalitativa intervjuer med ho
Female entrepreneurs have been reported to choose self-employment for a variety of reasons, such as the flexibility of combining work and childcare. However, paradoxically female entrepreneurs may face double-bind situation where they are responsible for their business and are primary care givers of the family. Family farming is considered to be a very masculine occupation and the rural agricultur
This paper contributes to sustainability transitions studies in delivering stronger focus and relevance on culture and discursive features to apprehend social resistances towards transition agendas, and the unprecedented emergence of the challenging antagonism of the ‘end of the world’ versus ‘the end of the month’ revealed by the case study of the Yellow Vests crisis in France since November 2018
This thesis proposes a new effective Hamiltonian to represent the interactions taking place in the atomic nucleus. This estimated Hamiltonian is analogous to the Pairing-Plus-Quadrupole model and this work is focused exclusively on the quadrupole part, with the aim of describing nuclear structure in a computationally efficient way. We have compared the accuracy of our proposed expression with the
Kvantkromodynamik har blivit accepterad som den mest välfungerande teorin för den starka växelverkan. Vid höga energier kan kvarkarna i viss mån ses som fria partiklar och den starka kopplingskonstanten,αs, blir så pass liten att kvantkromodynamiken kan analyseras med en expansion i αs, en procedur känd som störningsteori. Denna metod fungerar inte längre vid låga energier då αs kan närma sig ett We perform a fit to three loop order (NNNLO) in Chiral perturbation theory of the pion mass and decay constant. In particular we investigate if the NNNLO fit is an improvement of the fit to two loop order (NNLO) to lattice QCD data, which was done in a lattice gauge group collaboration. We take several steps to improve our fits, one of them being the inclusion of finite volume corrections. They t
The literary heroic ideal changed with the Great War, as the Victorian hero ideal was no longer plausible in a post-war world. The new ideal was pacifist and non-heroic but not everyone who had been through the Great War agreed that there was no heroicism. This essay discusses the development of the heroic ideal in the mid twentieth century in relation to the two brothers Boromir and Faramir in J.
This thesis deals with the question of how Hezbollah attempted to explain its involvement in the war in Syria to its supporters. Using qualitative research methods, the thesis draws on 24 speeches made by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah between 2013 and 2018. Theoretically based in the notion that Hezbollah functions as a Social Movement Organization, and through the application of fr
Skånes kommuner känner sig osäkra inför nya rökförbud Intervjuer med tjänstemän från Skånes kommuner visar på att de känner sig osäkra inför implementeringen av rökfria miljöer som presenteras i den nya tobakslagen. Folkhälsomyndigheten har bara en månad innan lagen träder i kraft kommit ut med den information som kommunerna behöver. Flera kommuner riskerar därför att falla efter i tillsynen av lThe Law of Tobacco and Similar Products becomes active on the 1st of July 2019 and brings with it new no-smoking areas, primarily in outdoor environments, which will demand municipal supervision. In this study, officials from Scania’s municipalities have been interviewed to investigate what their opinions, views and expected challenges with the implementation of these no-smoking areas are. It was
Denna studie syftar till att fördjupa kunskapen kring arbetet med körer inom genrerna pop och jazz samt redogöra för vilka arbetsområden några framstående körledare delar upp arbetet inom. Bakgrunden till studien är författarens egna upplevelser av körsång på universitetsnivå och den upplevda bristen på kunskap kring hur ett lämpligt repetitionsarbete arrangeras inom dessa genrer. Studien har gjorThis study aims to deepen the knowledge about the work regarding choirs within the pop and jazz genres as well highlighting which areas a few distinguished choir conductors divide their work into. The background to the study is the author's own experiences of choral singing at university level and the perceived lack of knowledge regarding a proper way of arranging rehearsals within these genre
Reducing inequality in Chile has long been a priority of policymakers because of its negative impacts over political representation, spatial segregation and distribution of opportunities. Through the framework of vulnerability, this research suggests that an unexpected impact of inequality in Chile is an increased likelihood of experiencing losses due to natural disasters. By using logistic multil
I problembakgrunden redogörs för hur mobilshopping har kommit att bli en allt större del av människors vardag. Tidigare forskning på området har framförallt fokuserat på konsumenters acceptans av och motivation till mobilshopping, samt är av övervägande kvantitativ karaktär. Det finns dock kvalitativa studier på ämnet, där bland annat Fuentes och Svingstedt (2017) har undersökt mobilshopping ur et

För finansiella institutioner vars affärsmodell bygger på att låna ut pengar är det högst relevant att på ett så säkert sätt som möjligt kunna avgöra om en potentiell kund är lönsam eller inte, det vill säga om det är troligt att denne betalar tillbaka sin skuld i det fall han eller hon beviljas ett lån. För att skatta sannolikheten att en kund hamnar i fallissemang och för att diskriminera mellan
Many things have been written about Shakespeare’s comedies The Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing yet few scholars have looked at the father-daughter relationships in any detail. This essay explores the father-daughter roles in these two plays and looks at the spectrum of contrasting relationships Shakespeare presents us with. The father roles in both plays are similar, but the daughte
