Denna uppsats strävar efter att undersöka det budskap som en vald läsebok, Nya Pojken och Tigern av Lars Westman (2002) förmedlar. Målet är att studera och identifiera de diskursiva praktiker som i boken konstruerar kategorierna kvinna och man. Teori delen förklarar med stöd i Judith Butlers och Julia Kristevas teorier att genus är en fortgående process som måste iscensättas gång på gång för att h
We construct and analyze Dirichlet-Neumann iterations for the 1D Poisson equation. Specifically, we wish to gain insight into how the convergence depends on material coefficients when solving coupled linear heat equations on three non-overlapping domains. We first consider the two-domain case and then extend the method to three domains. A finite element method is used to discretize the Laplacian.
There is a common notion that economic freedom has a positive effect on economic development. However, despite formal institutions considered beneficial for economic freedom being increasingly recognised there persists large differences in economic development across the globe. A possible explanation can be found within the framework of informal institutions. Economic freedom being a transmission
The problem studied in this thesis is the impact of the principle of mutual trust on the possibility of EU nationals to claim asylum and avoiding extradition for political offences within the EU. The principle of mutual trust presumes that human rights are not violated in any EU Member State. The difficulty arises if and when human rights are actually violated. It is not clear to what extent funda
Due to high usage of fossil fuels the emissions of greenhouse gases has increased to dangerous levels during the last century. Something is needed to be done soon in order to reduce emissions and stabilize the climate. The transportation sector stands for a large part of these emissions and one way to reduce these could be to instead use electric vehicles. Unfortunately, today batteries limit the
Dyslexia is a problem that can limit someone’s life if the person does not receive the appropriate support in order to develop strategies to deal with it, and it is not limited to one’s first language. The first limitations appear early in life during the school years as the child struggles with literacy issues. It is in the educational environment where the child will receive the first support a
This study explores the connection between the indoor and outdoor environment and how through the use of shading devices they affect each other. The chosen location for the study is a well-known street in the urban context of Copenhagen. Through different façade and shading evaluations, this thesis aims to investigate the possibility of achieving desired visual and thermal comfort levels for the i
’’Medielogik och antisemitism’’ är en uppsats författad av Jens Andersson vid Lunds universitet vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier i ämnet medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. Uppsatsen diskuterar hur medielogiken tog sig uttryck under Hannah Rosenthals, USA:s särskilda sändebud mot antisemitism, besök i Malmö den 26 april 2012. Medielogiken leder medierna till att fokusera på det läsar
This paper examines the effects of public and bank debt financing on firm performance in emerging markets. Using data on 742 publicly traded firms from the BRIC countries, it is documented that bank debt may have a positive effect on operating performance of a firm. This effect is more pronounced for financially distressed firms and during the crisis period. It is also found that bank debt has a U
Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the
The growing need for green investments has contributed to the increased issuance of green bonds. This research investigates if green bonds are priced differently from conventional bonds by measuring yield spread discrepancies. To estimate the potential yield premium, we perform a matching method and a fixed effect generalized least squares estimator from October 2016 to December 2020. We observe t
In this work, lactoferrin was studied as a function of pH, starting at a low pH of 5.5 with 5 mM salt, in terms of interactions and dynamics with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS). Under these conditions lactoferrin was expected and found to have a strong electrostatic repulsion and behaved similar to an isotropic colloid. The glass transition w
Modern society is characterized by rapid population growth and urbanization. The urban population is exposed to many risks connected to the urban way of living such as the effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity and health risks. Sustainable urban planning where ecosystem services and nature-based solutions are included can mitigate these risks. The purpose of this study is to investigate
User-centered design and usability engineering are two concepts that both roughly date back to the 1990s, and both of which have had a large impact on the practices of software-engineering and the field of software-design. How much effort is required to take these concepts and apply them, without much prior experience, to today's interconnected and geographically distributed working environmen
Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningen har visat Den ökade prevalensen av kronisk hjärtsvikt utgör en enorm utmaning för sjukvården. Trots att vi idag har effektiva medicinska behandlingar vid hjärtsvikt och bra läkemedel så är sjukligheten och dödligheten fortfarande betydande. Hjärtsvikt leder till en förändrad kärlreaktivitet generellt i cirkulationen, dock är betydelsen av denna endast känd The increased prevalence of chronic congestive heart failure (HF) is a tremendous challenge for society. In spite of effective medical treatment for acute HF, better pharmacological treatment for specific neurohormonal intervention and better diagnostic tools, e.g. biomarkers of natriuretic peptides, the morbidity and mortality due to this disease are still prominent. HF leads to vascular dysfunct
