This thesis examines how perpetrators of misogynistic mass murder utilise narrative and storytelling to make meaning of their violent acts towards women. This thesis is hereby an attempt to understand gendered mass violence, and its narrative resources that precede and promote such actions, as part of a wider, misogynist culture centered on a denial of the existence of patriarchal societies and op
Bäst i klassen undersöker sambandet mellan maskulinitet och politik i den svenska arbetarrörelsens konst under mitten av 1900-talet eller den så kallade folkhemsperioden. Undersökningen utgår från de två kvarvarande väggmålningarna i Folkets hus Malmö, Arbetarrörelsens historia av Robert Nilsson och April av Bertil Landelius. Målningarna invigdes med byggnaden 1947. Uppsatsen bygger på konsthistorTop of the Class Ideals of masculinity in the mural art of Folkets hus Malmö Bäst i klassen investigates the connection between masculinity and politics in the in the art of Swedish working-class movement the mid-20th century or “folkhemsperioden”. It studies the two remaining painted murals in the main reception hall of Folkets hus Malmö Arbetarrörelsens historia by Robert Nilsson and April by B
Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr
There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search
As a reaction to our current fast living and increasingly individualistic society, the focus on presence and need for human interaction is rising. With inspiration from Marina Abramovic’s performance work “The artist is present” at MoMa in New York, this project has been focusing on how to create a setting which enhances the interaction between two people. During this project, the aspect of inter
The world as we know it today has evolved to be a very connected space, where not only ICT’s (information & communication technologies) have made it easy to interact with individuals around the globe at any time, but also developments in air travel allow to reach ever more distant destinations. Many go as far as describing the world as shrinking or small; it seems that at least it feels smalle
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease which affects about 3 % of children in Sweden where most of them have an asymptomatic form making it difficult to detect. The bacterial composition in the gastrointestinal microflora can affect the intestinal barrier properties and the immune systems response to various dietary components. An unfavourable composition of the microflora can activate par
Pallets are the most common tertiary packaging solution with over 80% the world trade currently being carried out using pallets. The most widely used pallet type is the four-way wood pallet which accounts for 86% of the pallet production worldwide and the most common pallet size is the Euro Pallet. A department at Tetra Pak called Additional Materials (AddMat) is mainly using Euro Pallets, which h
Tupí-guaraníspråken omagua [omg] och kokama [cod] utgör intressanta exempel på omfattande språkkontakt i Amazonas. Detta framgår av språkens lexikon, som till största delen består av ord från tupí-guaraníspråk, men med en hög andel ord från obesläktade språk. Det framgår också av grammatiken, som skiljer sig mycket från andra tupí-guaraníspråk. Det språk som var huvudsaklig lexifierare i kontaktsiThe Tupí–Guaraní languages Omagua [omg] and Kokama [cod] constitute interesting examples of heavy language contact in Amazonia. This is evident from their lexicon, which is mostly Tupí–Guaraní, but with a high percentage of non-Tupí–Guaraní forms, and the grammar, which is very distinct from other Tupí–Guaraní languages. The lexifying Tupí–Guaraní language in this contact situation is believed to
ABSTRACT Author: Rowena E. Nystrand Title: “It’s a case of fitting into the picture, otherwise you’ve failed …” A qualitative study of men's experience of becoming an involuntary father (translated title) Supervisor: Anders Östnäs Assessor: Håkan Jönson The background to this paper lies in a media interest in the problems of unwilling fathers but with very little research having been done i
Title: What drives the customer's choice of packaging and which factors influence the customer's packaging cost? ? in the automotive and manufacturing industries Author: Lena Andersson Supervisors: Annika Olsson, Division of Packaging Logistics, Lund Institute of Technology Helena Claesson, Volvo Logistics AB Problem: Which parameters are important for logistic people to think of when
Research has shown that positive evaluations of home are important for very old people’s health, well-being and independence in daily life. The rationale for the present study derives from our survey study findings, confirming such associations also in a younger cohort (N = 371). The purpose of this study was to further increase the understanding of the dynamics of meaning of home and health among
We present the result of bat winter censuses in three old mines in southern Sweden from 1980 until present (2017). The Taberg and Kleva mines, each with about 1.5 km of accessible passages, have winter populations of 517 and 132 bats, respectively (maximum counts) belonging to six species, the highest numbers known in underground sites in Sweden. Ädelfors is less extensive and has fewer individual
Background: The duration of protection provided by varicella vaccines is unclear. We assessed the 10-year vaccine efficacy of two doses of a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV), one live attenuated varicella vaccine (V) dose given after one measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) dose (MMR + V), versus two MMR doses (control vaccine) for the prevention of confirmed varicella. Metho
The Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600–1,000 million years ago, Ma) geochemical record is sparse, but, nevertheless, critical in untangling relationships between the evolution of eukaryotic ecosystems and the evolution of Earth-surface chemistry. The ca. 1,400 Ma Xiamaling Formation has experienced only very low-grade thermal maturity and has emerg
The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit. The value of the pebble isolation mass is crucial in determining the final planet mass. If the isolation mass is very low, gas accretion is protracted and the
In this study, we examine the development of age at leaving the parental household in Sweden between the years 1830-1959. We utilize individual-level longitudinal data from two geographically and socioeconomically different regions: the county of Scania in the very south of Sweden, and Västerbotten to the north. We use descriptive and multivariate analyses to investigate how determinants, such as
Achromobacter is a genus of Gram-negative rods, which can cause persistent airway infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The knowledge about virulence and clinical implications of Achromobacter is still limited, and it is not fully established whether Achromobacter infections contribute to disease progression or if it is a marker of poor lung function. The most commonly reported Achromoba
Microfluidic flows feature typically fully three-dimensional velocity fields. However, often the optical access for measurements is limited. Astigmatism or defocus particle tracking velocimetry is a technique that enables the 3D position determination of individual particles by the analysis of astigmatic/defocused particle images. The classification and position determination of particles is a tas
