The aim of this essay is to examine the view on East Germany/GDR in the narratives of left party Die Linke, trough analysis of four texts related to anniv

The aim for this study was to examine how adolescents well-being influences their self-report of different family issues. The empirical material was based upon a study including 88 adolescents in a Swedish upper level lower secondary school that took part in autumn 2014. The theoretical approach was logical positivism with a hypothetic-deductive method where a survey consisting of psychometric mea

Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to research corporate geographic diversification to determine if cross-border M&A involving Dutch acquirers and a selection of countries are value-enhancing for Dutch acquirers. Moreover we will aim to identify variables which influence value-creation in Dutch cross-border M&A. Methodology: This paper applies a deductive approach using theories and previ

Bakgrund: I en tid med hårdnande konkurrens, där utbudet ofta är större än efterfrågan, tvingas organisationer till effektivisering. Därav har vikten av att implementera ett starkt varumärke ökat, via denna kan kunden upplysas om produkt, kvalitet samt funktion. Efter den svenska skolreformen infördes, vilket innebar att skolväsendet öppnade upp sina portar för konkurrens, har betydelsen av varumä

The last mass-extinction event happened over 65 million years ago when an asteroid collided with earth, resulting in the loss of 76% of all species. Scientists now warn that we are on the precipice of a new mass-extinction, the responsibility of which can be placed entirely on one species, the homo sapiens. While some species of birds, bats, and arthropods are especially vulnerable, we are all int

Previous studies of Thomas Pynchon’s works have made progress in defining numerous aspects of what could be construed as the Pynchonian worldview. However, they have mainly identified them in general, visual terms, separated from the level of the direct experience of his characters. The process of perception is important in philosophical inquiry, but its role in the worldview of Pynchon’s works ha

This paper examines caryatides in Greek architecture from the Archaic period to the Hellenistic period. The focus of this study is the functions, contexts, and symbolic meanings of the caryatides. Regarding the contexts, the caryatides were first used in the archaic period on the Cnidian treasury and, shortly thereafter on the Siphnian treasury, both in Delphi. In the classical period, the caryati

In contemporary society, it is emphasised that ownership of clothing plays a crucial role in construction- and presentation of personal identities. With the rise of sustainable consumerism and the sharing economy, access-based consumption has emerged as a notable trend, offering individuals temporary access to non-exclusively owned clothing. The shift in consumption habits and preferences challeng

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur cancelleringsprocesser ser ut i samband med skandaler för influencers och hur de utvecklas under tidens gång. Detta görs i form av en fallstudie, närmre specifikt skandalfallet med Margaux Dietz som inträffade år 2022. För att kunna dra vetenskapliga slutsatser baserat på empiri som följer narrativet, tar rapporten fäste i två teoretiska utgångspunkter - This study aims to investigate the dynamics of cancellation processes in relation to scandals involving influencers and how they evolve over time. It is conducted through a case study, specifically focusing on the scandal involving Margaux Dietz that occurred in 2022. In order to draw scientific conclusions based on empirical evidence that aligns with the narrative, the report adopts two theoretic

Universalitetsprincipen utgör en jurisdiktionsgrund enligt svensk rätt. I slutet av år 2022 meddelade Högsta domstolen ett prejudicerande beslut som behandlade hur universell jurisdiktion ska förstås enligt svensk rätt. Högsta domstolen fastslog i detta fall bland annat att den misstänkte måste ha en tillräcklig anknytning till Sverige för att det ska finnas ett svenskt rättskipningsintresse vid uThe principle of universality constitutes a basis for jurisdiction under Swedish law. At the end of 2022, the Supreme Court delivered a precedent- setting decision dealing with how universal jurisdiction should be interpreted according to Swedish law. The Supreme Court determined that for Swedish courts to exercise universal jurisdiction, there has to be a Swedish judicial interest, which is decid

Old-growth forests have profound roles in the provision of biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. These forests and their protection are threatened by structures within the Swedish Forestry Model and Sweden’s attitude towards the European Union’s environmental and climate policies relating to forest management. A literature review and semi-structured interviews employed through a mixed-meth

To find approximate solutions to initial value problems (IVPs) one can use a wide range of numerical methods. A special group of IVPs referred to as stiff, can be numerically solved by a chain of methods, beginning with an implicit method then Newton's method and last, General minimal residual (GMRES). For GMRES to be more time-efficient, we need to apply a preconditioner to the system of equa

Temporära diplomatiska beskickningar mellan stater regleras internationellt genom ”The Convention on Special Mission”. Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och harDiplomatic delegations sent by a state to conduct specific tasks are internationally referred to as special missions. This type of diplomacy is regulated through the Convention on Special Missions which also states the terms of immunity for the so-called ad hoc diplomats. Sweden has currently not ratified the convention and does not have any national regulation relating to special missions sent by

Enligt den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och grundläggande friheterna (EKMR) krävs jurisdiktion för att en avtalsslutande part ska kunna hållas ansvarig, när ett påstående om intrång av non-refoulement enligt EKMR uppstår. Stater genomför extraterritoriella gränskontroller för att kontrollera migranter och internationella flyktingar utanför statens egna territoriuAccording to the European Convention on Human Rights, jurisdiction is a prerequisite for holding a contracting state responsible when an allegation of infringement of the ECHR arises, such as the principle of non-refoulement. States implement extraterritorial migration management measures trying to avoid triggering the principle of non-refoulement arguing that it cannot be applied extraterritorial

There has long been a crisis of housing affordability in London, which the government and private sector are failing to address. On top of the socio-economic challenges brought about by this, London’s current and new stock of housing are not built to the necessary environmental standards to achieve legally binding environmental targets. However, the contentious Brexit vote and the continued uncert

In 2004, acute labour shortages were first observed in labour-intensive export-processing sectors in China’s coastal provinces. Paired with rising wages in rural and urban areas, many economists have claimed China has reached its Lewis Turning Point of economic development. This dissertation reviews these claims by context-testing Lewisian theory, and finds little evidence to suggest China has met

Under konferensen TED-Global 2009 uppträdde författarinnan Chimamanda Adichie med The Danger of a single story som vill varna för det ensidiga berättandets stigmatiserande konsekvenser. Då talet är uppbyggt av berättelser förenas det litterära och det retoriska. Med analysmetoden Narrative Criticism ville jag undersöka hur några narrativa strategier rörande berättelsens karaktärer, dess sceniska p

With this essay I have examined the view of the saints during different epochs of the Middle Ages and what they considered distinguised a saint. The sources I have used in my examination are three different hagiographies: Dialogi de vita et miraculis patrum Italicorum part 2 by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century, Vita Ansgarii by Rimbert in the 9th century and Vita Anselmi archiepiscopi Can

Health services and medical research are subject to growing use of ADM. Whilst such technology brings many benefits, it is important to understand that it is not just a tool but involves a more fundamental shift in the infrastructure through which healthcare takes place. Where that development is driven by the private sector, it also indicates a wider paradigmatic change in how healthcare is provi
