Saint Olav His Cult The subject of this thesis is Saint Olav (995-1030) and his cult in medieval Scandinavia. He was canonized soon after his death, and he became a popular saint in the Scandinavian countries. With the help of the material and historical evidence of the cult of Saint Olav I here attempt to trace who was the driving force behind its expansion, as well as why the cult was spread wi
Sammanfattning Min uppsats handlar om samernas rättigheter, och framförallt om samernas markrättigheter. Syftet med min uppsats är att redogöra för samernas rättsliga utveckling i Sverige från den första renbeteslagen (RBL) fram till samernas ställning idag. Mina frågeställningar lyder: hur har samernas rättigheter sett ut genom tiderna? Hur ser samernas rättigheter ut idag och varför har inte SveSummary My essay is about Sami rights, and mainly on Sami land right. The purpose of my paper is to describe the Sami legal development in Sweden from the first Reindeer Grazing Act (RGA) to the Sami's status today. My questions is: how has the rights of the Sami developed through the ages? What kind of rights do the Sami have today and why has not Sweden ratified the Indigenous and Tribal Peo
This thesis investigates the Danish public service station DR and the national structure of the media. As the democratic process has increasingly moved from the national level to the EU and as Danes rely on television as the main source of information on European political matters, it is only reasonable to expect the national public service station, DR, to fulfil that role, nonetheless previous st
The purpose with this thesis was to investigate the recovering process of former child soldiers in Northern Uganda through the perspective of professionals. Data have been collected through eleven semi-structured interviews conducted in the districts Gulu, Pader and Lira. The eleven respondents come from eight different organizations who all work with former child soldiers and their psychosocial a
While it is fairly certain that people have experienced emotions all throughout history, it is less certain how we understand historical expressions of emotion in a modern context and what value such an understanding could bring to examinations of the link between power and the people. The aim of this master thesis is to gain deeper understanding regarding the relationship between human emotions a
Ambiguity and controversy abounds the debate over the thousands of people trying to enter the European territory and their rights, especially in their procedural form. This paper explores the latest developments in the context of the European Court of Human Rights’ and the European Court of Justice’s expansive interpretation of the right to an effective remedy and the procedural guarantees afforde
Popular Abstract in Swedish Shimazaki Toson (1872 - 1943) anses vara Japans främste företrädare för shizenshugi - en japansk form av fransk Naturalisme. Hans debut som romanförfattare skedde 1906 med Hakai - Löftesbrottet. Romanen anses allmänt vara en representant för kokuhaku shosetsu, eller en "bekännelseroman". Denna avhandling påvisar att författaren hade politiska ambitioner att påvisa diskrPublished in 1906, Hakai or The Broken Commandment in English, by Shimazaki Tôson, is generally considered the first novel in the genre of shizenshugi, a Japanese variation of French Naturalisme. Traditionally, the novel has been viewed as an example of kokuhaku shôsetsu, or “confessional novel” in that the protagonist “confesses” his origin as a member of Eta¾an autochtonous and despised minority
Odorous sensations are based on trigeminal and olfactory perceptions. Both trigeminal and olfactory stimuli generate overlapping as well as distinctive activations in the olfactory cortex including the piriform cortex. Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), an integrative center for all senses, is directly activated in the presence of olfactory stimulations. In contrast, the thalamus, a very important midbra
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier av enstaka makromolekyler gör det möjligt att få insikt i och karakterisera viktiga biologiska processer. DNA, livets molekyl, är av särskilt intresse här. I denna avhandling användar vi metoder från statistisk fysik för att studera olika aspekter av DNA i nanokanaler och dess smältegenskaper. DNA-smältning är inte bara relevant för förståelsen av denna molekylsInvestigation of single macromolecules makes it possible to gain insight into and characterize important biological processes. DNA as the molecule of life is of special interest here. In this thesis tools from statistical physics are used to study different aspects of DNA confined to nanochannels, with particular regard to its denaturation properties. The study of DNA melting from the theoretical
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar välfärd med fokus på internationell mobilitet och immobilitet. Den tar avstamp i två olika konceptuliseringar av organiseringen av vardagen i relation till nationalstaten: en som konceptualiserar vardagslivet som relativt mobilt och föränderligt över nationalstatliga gränser, och en som konceptualiserar det som relativt immobilt och oföränderligt The dissertation considers welfare with regard to international mobility and immobility. It addresses a tension between two different conceptualisations of the organisation of everyday life with regard to nation-states: one that views everyday life as relatively mobile across nation-state borders and boundaries, and another that treats everyday life as relatively confined within such limits. The o
Various kinds of subgraph counts have been proposed as important statistics in the social sciences: for instance, in connection with studies of the structural properties of social networks. Since the empirical structure in question often involves an element of randomness, subgraph counts are random variables and, consequently, we need to describe their probabilistic properties. In this paper we gi
This study was undertaken to find out if about 25% right cardiac output is sufficient for preservation of lung function during prolonged periods of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Six healthy pigs weighing 57 kg were subjected to 18-hour venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. During this period 1200 ml/min venous blood was delivered to the lungs through the pulmonary a
For many fleeing their home countries, destinations in northern Europe were the ultimate goal. But what happened when they got there?
When it comes to the field of drug studies, researchers have tended to privilege men’s perspectives and experiences, assuming women to be mostly marginal, as primarily victims and accomplices. Further, when women’s experiences are taken into account, a view of them as only women has tended to be pushed to the forefront. As such, we are sorely lacking research departing from women’s own recollectio
Although access-based business models such as product rental hold promise for contributing to sustainable production and consumption, their diffusion is hindered by a lack of consumer acceptance. In order for rental models to resonate with consumers, they must be designed and communicated in a way that aligns with consumers’ needs. While many studies have addressed business model design, few have
Objective: We endeavored to create a comprehensive course in global surgery involving multinational exchange. Design: The course involved 2 weeks of didactics, 2 weeks of clinical rotations in a low-resource setting and 1 week for a capstone project. We evaluated our success through knowledge tests, surveys of the students, and surveys of our Zimbabwean hosts. Setting: The didactic portions were h
In Sweden there are several political goals stating the importance of diminished quantities of waste from the food sector, yet several thousand tons of potentially edible food are being discarded of every year. This study has examined the hindrances and opportunities of six different organizations/initiatives working to lower the rates of food waste from retail stores. It has also looked into pote
