Den här studien undersöker hur kvinnlighet visuellt representeras i H&M:s reklamkampanj She´s a Lady. Avsikten med studien är att undersöka hur H&M i sin reklamfilm använder sig av konstruktionen “lady” samt vilka feministiska budskap de förmedlar i deras sätt att framställa kvinnan på.

Is it possible that Genesis 38 is a story about an ancient woman? And should Genesis 38 be called The Story of Tamar? Numerous signals in Gen 38 point to Tamar being the main character of the story. Nevertheless, throughout history, the story has been said to be about Judah and his transformation from a mean and selfish character in Gen 37 to a caring and selfless one in Gen 43:8–10. But is that r

Oat is a cereal that contains high lipid content when compared to other cereals and is a potential oil crop. Oats also have high content of lipase enzymes when compared to other cereals, that causes hydrolytic rancidity which causes the soapy bitter taste that may develop in oats. Therefore, oats that are intended for human consumption are heat treated to inactivate lipase enzymes and thus, to imp

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Due to that, many developing world’s regions with limited economic activity adapt tourism as a development strategy. The point of departure is a critical consideration why tourism, while producing such immense economic benefits, frequently also perpetuates already existing socio-economic, cultural, and environmental dysfunctions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how collaboration was experienced within the social administration and the school and leisure administration. This study included six respondents, three from the social administration and three from the school administration. I have used a thematic analysis where three different themes were developed.

Strategic communication as an integrating discipline addresses social phenomenon as migration. When people relocate, they experience physical and mental stress, and seek guidance, questioning their sense of belonging. Authentic communication based on feminist values aims to build long-lasting relations and reach social inclusion by conducting more sensitive communication. This thesis explores the

Att komma ut är något som varje homosexuell person behöver ta ställning till. Beslutet att komma ut upplevs av många som svårt och skrämmande. Många homosexuella personer är oroliga eller rädda för reaktionerna som kan följa när de kommer ut. Detta eftersom vi lever i ett samhälle där heterosexualitet ännu betraktas som norm för människors sexuella läggning. Denna studie syftar att ur ett sociolog

The emergence of artificial intelligence, especially machine-learning methods, challenges the set of legal guarantees put in place in Europe to combat discrimination and ensure equal treatment. This paper will focus on cases of algorithmic discrimination in the context of recruitment as a business practice. Particular in the field of recruitment of workers, which has always been a field where EU n

Undersökningen är en vetenskapssociologisk diskursanalys i formen av en kvalitativ fallstudie av Paolo Macchiarinis tid vid det Karolinska Institutet och universitetssjukhuset. Fallet har en fortsatt medial relevans då där ännu finns ärenden i det svenska rättsväsendet som ska avgöra vilken skuld Macchiarini bär för de patienter som farit illa. Fallet Macchiarini har ännu inte analyserats ur ett r

Students performs differently in international comparable school evaluations such as TIMSS and PISA. One possible explanation discussed in economic research literature is that differences in the amount of instruction time across countries are the reason for international gaps in student performance. Using a within-student between-subject fixed effects model and the data from the TIMSS 2019 evaluat

In this article, the effects of conflict on the economic growth of neighboring countries (referred to as economic spillover effects of conflict) are studied for Asia, Africa and Latin America during 1990-2019. Compared to previous studies on the subject, this study accounts for the changing conflict climate over the years by starting the sample period 30 years later than other authors. The overall

Under sen darriwil-tid i mellanordovicium var Baltica täckt av ett grundhav med relativt rikt och varierat djurliv. Under årmiljoner avsattes här sediment som kom att omvandlas till kompakta kallvattens-karbonater. Baserat på fältstudier och punkträkning av sex stycken tunnslip har den omkring 10 meter mäktiga ”furudalkalkstenen” vid Kårgärdeprofilen (Dalarna, Sverige) analyserats med avseende på During the late Darriwilian age (Middle Ordovician) Baltica was covered by a shallow, epeiric sea with a fairly rich and varied fauna. Over millions of years, carbonate sediment was deposited that later transformed into compact cool-water limestone. Based on field studies and point-counting of six thin sections, the ca 10 meter thick ‘Furudal Limestone’ at the locality Kårgärde (Dalarna, Sweden) h

Training Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) for image synthesis problems is a largely heuristical process that is known to be fickle and difficult to set up reliably. To avoid common failure modes and succeed with GAN training, one needs to find very specific hyperparameter settings carefully tuned to the model architectures and datasets at hand. Standard GAN training optimization methods such a

The field of computer vision is growing larger and larger every day, fuelled by lower cost, higher computational power, and more sophisticated cameras. This trend, in tandem with the ongoing rise of Industry 4.0, provides new and exciting opportunities to innovate in areas where this technology has not yet been widely adopted or explored. This thesis aims to investigate the ways in which real-time

The purpose of this study was to try to understand what sort of impact Swedish rap-music and rap-artists have on youth behavior and identity from the Swedish suburbs Seved and Rosengård. Also, whether it influences subcultural youth groups. The hip hop-culture in Sweden has in recent years had lots of media coverage since the artists have been involved in gang activity and a lot of them have been
