This essay examines how masculinity is negotiated through equestrian symbolism in Nicholas Evans’s The Horse Whisperer (1995) and Jilly Cooper’s Riders (1985), situating both novels within the cultural context of late twentieth-century neoliberal Britain and the United States. Drawing on masculinity studies, neoliberal theory, and animal symbolism, the essay argues that the horse functions as a ce
In this article, we use a crowd theoretical perspective to look at student crowds and how they have been managed through various subdivisions of student housing. How has the student cohort been territorialised and divided into entities according to differences in group sizes, gender, family constellations, etc., and how has housing played a role in these social differentiations? Using the history
Frihamnen i Stockholm står inför en omfattande omvandling. Området, som under lång tid har fungerat som en central plats för hamn- och industriverksamhet, planeras att utvecklas till en ny stadsdel med bostäder, kontor och service. I denna process riskerar flera befintliga industribyggnader att rivas för att ge plats åt ny bebyggelse. Samtidigt innebär detta att viktiga delar av platsens historia,
Climate change is recognized as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the world today. To tackle this problem, a protocol was adopted in Kyoto in 1997 which establishes legally binding commitments to developed countries to bring down the emissions of six major greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990. Three flexibility mechanisms have been provided to developed countries to ac
The 2022 EU Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages aims to ensure adequate minimum wages and strengthen collective bargaining in order to reduce in-work poverty and wage inequality. The national transposition and implementation of the Minimum Wage Directive will be heavily shaped by the existing collective bargaining and minimum wage regimes in the 27 EU Member States. To monitor and understand the p
Brain machine interfaces with chronically implanted microelectrode arrays for signal acquisition require algorithms for successful detection and classification of neural spikes. During the design of such algorithms, signals with a priori known characteristics need to be present. A common way to establish such signals is to model the recording environment, simulate the recordings and store ground t
Background Despite recent successes with biological agents as therapy for autoimmune inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis ( RA), many patients fail to respond adequately to these treatments, making a continued search for new therapies extremely important. Recently, the prevailing hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote inflammation was challenged when polymorphisms in N
Cultural heritage has developed into an important tool in marketing and destination development projects. Cultural heritage, as well as multiplicity, is also a political concept that has become important in the academic and public debate. The aim of our study is to analyse cultural heritage as a tourism and marketing product in relation to multiplicity. The discussion focuses around how the story
We describe the characterization of the hydrodynamic properties of anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles using a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic as well as depolarized dynamic light scattering (DLS/DDLS). The particles used are nearly monodisperse hematite spindles with an average length of 280 nm and a minor axis of 57 nm, coated with a layer of silica of variable t
Human group IIA-secreted phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) is a bactericidal molecule important for the innate immune defense against Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, we analyzed its role in the host defense against Streptococcus pyogenes, a major human pathogen, and demonstrated that this bacterium has evolved a previously unidentified mechanism to resist killing by sPLA(2)-IIA. Analysis of
Currently available methodologies arguably lack the exquisite control required for producing metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films of sufficient quality for electronic applications. By directing MOF transfer with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), we achieve very smooth, homogeneous, highly oriented, ultrathin films across millimeter-scale areas that display moderate conductivity likely due to e
Denna uppsats har för avsikt att se hur amerikansk krigsfilm porträtterar rättfärdigheten i invasionen av Irak 2003. Avsikten är att fånga argumentationen som förs i filmerna om rättfärdighetens varande sett ur ett amerikanskt perspektiv. Genom denna förståelse kan man skapa förståelse över hur dessa filmer färgar synen på kriget hos åskådarna. Tre produktioner har valts att studeras; Green Zone (
Sammanfattningsvis har vi kommit fram till att Bottom of the Pyramid segmentet är ett outnyttjat segment gällande antalet aktiva multinationella företag där. Detta grundar sig i att det finns ett stort antal felaktiga antagande gällande köpbenägenheten i segmentet samt kunskapsdelta mellan företag och konsumenter. Menstruationsskydd produceras inte i Indien på grund av att ämnet är tabu. Kunskapsd
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve the material supply to assembly stations at Nedermans and identify parameters and principles that determine if the components should be stored at the assembly station or in the warehouse. The improvement should reduce the floor space used for assembly, increase the assembly utilization rate and reduce waste of time in the material handling.
