Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o

Different interests ascribe different meaning to the role of culture in urban regeneration and discourses are created. Previous research showed that successful examples of urban regeneration happened as culture-led bottom-up processes, where inhabitants had a supporting cooperation with the city administration. No strong evidence has been presented in previous research that culture has trickle-dow

Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires. This study aims at investigating pre-school children's level of knowledge about fire and evacuation and if the level of knowledge increases after an education. The aim has also been to present guidelines of how educational materials for children of that age should be designed. The work has been conducted by interviews with p

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker implementeringsproblemet som kan uppstå i avståndet mellan Sveriges riksdag och den verkställande byråkratin. Frågeställningen besvaras främst med hjälp av de värden som presenteras i Dahls demokratiteori (2002) och Lundquists teorier om byråkratisk etik (1988 & 1998) tillsammans med de värden som återfinns i Regeringskansliets värdegrund för statliga tjänstemä

Denna uppsats redogör för hur arbetsgivarens skyldigheter skiljer sig åt vid uppsägning respektive avsked och analyserar på vilka bevekelsegrunder en arbetsgivare kan välja att avskeda istället för att säga upp. Vid både uppsägning och avsked föreligger samma formella skyldigheter samt en skyldighet att förhandla innan åtgärden vidtas. Arbetsgivaren har dock olika lång tid på sig att lämna underräThis essay will discuss how the responsibilities of the employer differ between termination and dismissal and will furthermore analyse the motives an employer can have in order to justify the use of dismissal instead of termination. Before terminating or dismissing an employee, the employer must in both cases observe the formal responsibilities as well as the obligation to negotiate. The differenc

Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals

Children who grow up with a parent with an addiction and/or mental illness are at higher risk of developing the same disorder. There are children who even when growing up under rough conditions succeed to overcome their childhood and grow up to be “normal” citizens. These children have a high level of resilience and are usually referred to as Superkids. The aim of this study was to understand what

Urban environments are rapidly growing worldwide with severe consequences to animals and plants residing in our cities. Some of the most well-studied urban wildlife is passerine birds, where a wide array of effects have been documented; smaller clutches, earlier breeding, shorter telomeres and oxidative stress are just some costs among numerous others. Yet, few studies have so far investigated the

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find

Syftet med denna studie var att få en fördjupad förståelse för hur medvetna psykoterapeuter är om skam i terapin och få mer kunskap om hur de hanterar sin egen och patientens skam i det interpersonella samspelet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med psykodynamiskt inriktade psykoterapeuter verksamma i södra Sverige. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys och sju teman valdes ut. Studi

When the consequences of climate change now are starting to be seen more frequent in the industrialised world it raises an important question on what impact these natural hazards might have on individual concern for climate change. Using the case of the 2014 wildfires that took place in Västmanlands Län I explore whether or not living in the same region as this natural hazard impacts concern for c

The aim of the study was to explore how school counselors experience and describe youth´s vulnerability on social media. Furthermore, the study intended to explore the school's preventive and remedial work to combat abusive treatment or bullying on social media. The study had a qualitative approach including six semi-structured interviews that were conducted by school counselors working at mid

The movement of the coast line, due to erosion in one direction or aggregation in theother is a natural process as waves, wind as well as the geological nature of the coast itselfare affecting it. Sand dunes are the main protection coasts have at their disposal againstfloods during storm surges or from more passive but long range rainfalls. As many of the coastal areas have a dense population and

“Meetings are now more important” : A study about social workers' view on client meetings within the financial aid sector. In social work, meeting other people forms a big part of the job and human contact is generally considered very important. The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers within the financial aid sector reason about meetings with clients when based on the goal

Insekters DNA i luften? På senare år har flera forskningsrapporter visat att olika insektgrupper drastiskt minskar i antal. Till följd av detta kan man även se att artkompositionen förändrats och att andra organismer som är beroende av insekter, antingen för pollinering eller som föda, också minskar i antal. För att kunna förstå varför dessa förändringar sker så krävs en kontinuerlig övervakning In the face of widely reported declines in insect abundance and diversity, there is a great need for faster and easier insect monitoring methods as the already established methods are time consuming and only target specific species groups. In this study I investigate if metabarcoding of eDNA samples collected from the air can i) detect and identify insect species, ii) help quantify spatial and tem
