In the Lutheran tradition, of which the Church of Sweden is part, the spoken and written word often gets an automatic priority over the experience and perception of artistic expression. As a result, the discourse on the role of aesthetics in liturgical formation has come second to the ongoing discussion about the linguistic and semantic meaning of texts. This thesis wants to contribute to a renewe
Fusioner och delningar är två omstruktureringsförfaranden som innebär en stor förändring för ett bolags intressenter. Ett bolag kan bli reducerat i storlek likväl som flera gånger större eller rent av upphöra att existera. I takt med ett europeiskt samarbete har dessa förfaranden aktualiserats över nationsgränserna inom EU varpå lagstiftning på unionsnivå ansetts nödvändig. Till följd av EU-rättMergers and divisions are two restructuring procedures that entail significant changes for a company’s stakeholders. A company may be reduced in size, become several times larger, or even cease to exist altogether. With the advancement of European cooperation, these procedures have increasingly taken place across national borders within the EU, prompting the need for legislation at the Union level
Family policies, including but not limited to the expansion of formal childcare, are often introduced to facilitate the combination of family care responsibilities and paid labour market participation. While a few studies do not yield evidence of a causal relationship, a large body of literature agrees on the relationship between childcare and maternal employment. Thus, this thesis analyses the ef
International oil prices have been fluctuating a lot since decades. Since oil is an important component influencing global indicators, it is also important to evaluate to what extent consumer spending is affected in the aftermath of oil price shocks. Thus the paper addresses whether international oil price change has any impact on consumer spending in the long and short run. To conduct this study,
The impact of trade on environmental quality has received a considerable attention, both in policy debate and in theoretical literature. However, the empirical evidence on the topic remains lagged. This thesis adds to the empirics by unearthing the relationships and decomposing the effect into scale-technique effect and trade-induced composition effect using Arellano-Bond GMM estimation technique.
This thesis explores the understudied topic of the Kurdish women’s movement in Iraq. The study takes a critical look at institutionalization of the struggle for gender equality. Drawing on the ten interviews conducted with women activists in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, this study describes and analyzes their concerns about how institutionalizing the struggle has not only weakened the Kurdish wom

In this study we investigated if stereotype conceptions against groups of people can be suppressed by retrieval practice and thereby affect implicit associations. Previous research of retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that interfering memories are inhibited and weakened by retrieval practice. Our hypothesis was that retrieval practice of features incongruent to a stereotype would cause memory

Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol
