I den här studien utforskas hur makt uttrycks genom språket i den Sydkoreanska filmen Parasit. Likt andra populärkulturella fenomen producerar och reproducerar Parasit en bild av ett samhälle. I samband med det speglas interaktioner mellan individer och uttryck för hur deras relationer skapas. För att få en god förståelse för språkanvändningen i filmen Parasit görs en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av
Uppsatsen undersöker filmen “Fifty Shades Freed” utifrån Judith Butlers performativitetsbegrepp. Butler menar att genus och biologiskt kön inte kan separeras och hur vi ser på genus påverkar förväntningarna på det biologiska könet. Dessa normer fastställs genom att individer för ett visst genus agerar enligt vissa normer - vilket fastställer normerna för genuset. Vi vill undersöka vilka normer som
This dissertation intends to examine how the Swedish art world is responding to the exposure of artwork which has been produced using artificial intelligence as a tool.

Tidigare fanns en statlig läromedelsgranskning i Sverige. Sedan denna avvecklats har istället ansvaret för granskning av läromedel ålagts lärarna och skolorna själva. Syftet med denna studie är att genomföra en kritisk granskning av läromedel. I läroplanen (Lgr11) framgår tydligt att jämställdhet är något skolan skall verka för. Genusteori har därför varit utgångspunkten för denna granskning. Stu

The state of the environment and human’s impact on the environment has been widely acknowledged and discussed over the past years. The EU realized there was a need for environmental regulations and laws in 1972 and in 1993 the environment became an official part of their politics. The aim of this paper has been to find out whether it is possible to both increase trade and at the same time decrease
Bakgrund: Menopausal hormonbehandling har i dagsläget visat sig vara det effektivaste tillvägagångssättet för att lindra klimakteriebesvär. Hormonterapi kan dock medföra högre risk för en mängd andra svåra bieffekter, sekundära komplikationer, som ännu inte är helt beforskade. Således hade en icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetod varit att föredra. Det finns därmed ett intresse av att sammanställa

Den nedsatta gångförmågan karaktäriseras bland annat av lägre gånghastighet, kortare steglängd och “frysningsepisoder”. Den medicinska behandlingen utgörs ofta av levodopamediciner
