The following article investigates Keats’s expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire. In order to discern the specific concerns of Keats in this regard, the study analyzes a letter sent to his friend John Hamilton Reynolds on the 19th of February 1The following article investigates Keats's expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire.

This thesis investigates the role of interior design elements, especially artwork, in way-searchers’ wayfinding and orientation in hospital environments. The thesis considers the way-searcher’s background and the impact of cultural belonging, occupation, memories, aesthetic preferences, and language, and the influence that such factors might have on the perception of the hospital environment and i

The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms. Bryophytes have haplodiplontic life cycles with a dominant haploid generation. Hybridization in bryophytes involves fusion of gametes produced by haploid parental gametophytes of different species. The hybrid is thus the short-livThe role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms.

As sales of e-bikes increase, so does the need for reliable evaluations of which means of transport the e-bike replaces, what we call the substitution effect. A randomised controlled trial with GPS data from 98 frequent drivers in Sweden was conducted to investigate the effect of the e-bike on modal choice, the number of trips, distance, as well as perceptions of the e-bike as a substitute for the

John L. Schellenberg has suggested that we should guide the evolution of religion towards the goal of discovering the truth about transcendent reality. I argue that we need some way of discerning progress if this project is to be practically feasible. I explore what discernible progress would require in some possible future scenarios. Focus lies on scenarios involving improved cognitive contact wi

In this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare. Using multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, we explore the links between attitudes and political action, and associated socio-political characteristics, in the case of Sweden. Our results show a three-nIn this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare.

This dissertation investigates the Swedish directive speech act in spoken language, focusing on directives used to prompt actions. Directives can be direct, like imperatives, or more polite, embedded in structures typically associated with other speech acts, such as interrogative or declarative forms. The study centers on Physical Education and Health (PEH) lessons, where directives are prevalent.This dissertation investigates the Swedish directive speech act in spoken language, focusing on directives used to prompt actions.

There is widespread criticism that place marketing initiatives contribute mainly to the commodification of places (Lichrou and Panayiotopoulos, 2021; Kavaratizis et al., 2018; Kavaratzis et al., 2017) and to the commodification of the climate crisis (Fletcher 2019). Place marketing is seen here only as a strategic management tool to make a place recognisable in the minds of different stakeholders,

Swedish has been generally assumed not to have any well-defined question intonation. However, with respect to Southern Swedish, Lindblad & Gårding (1973) present data showing final rises in polar (Y/N) questions. Gårding (1979) also assumes a broader and higher F0 range in Y/N questions than in statements, particularly on the final focussed word. The present study investigates the extent to wh

This study deals with two issues. One is the interpretation of reconstructions of Iron Age houses; and the other is whether virtual reality—i.e. 3D modeling—is a useful tool for this interpretation. Physical reconstructions are constrained by both researchers’ and financiers’ interests. These interests sometimes clash, when e.g. return on investment forces a profitable version of a given project,

Den svenska familjerättsliga regleringen har sedan länge präglats av strävan att söka tillgodose barnets intresse i relation till föräldrarna. Ett tydligt uttryck för denna strävan finner man i föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § där det stadgas att barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla beslut om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. En ytterligare strävan i den familjerättsliga regleringen har varit att sökaSwedish family law has long been governed by the aspiration to accommodate the interests of the child, rather than that of the parents. A distinct expression of this aspiration can be found in a provision of the Swedish Children and Parents code, 6 chapter § 2 a. In this provision it is stated that the best interests of the child shall be the determining factor in all decisions regarding custody,

Inventories are one of the largest investments made by trading companies and as a result an e®ective inventory control is important to obtain a low opportunity cost of capital for the carried items. Despite this, many small and middle sized companies lack access to a high-quality tool for this purpose. The past few years have also showed that the Internet as a sales channel has become of greater i

One way to reduce the growing workload for radiologists is to automate the trans- formation of 3D MR images of the brain into the AC-PC coordinate system. In this thesis, both non-deformable and deformable image registration methods were used to register images to a template in the desired space, the AC-PC coordinate system. First, three non-deformable transformations were used together with three

This study investigates whether downside risk, captured through downside beta, is a priced risk factor in the Swedish stock market. Using monthly data from 1990 to 2019, the study sorts portfolios of Swedish stocks into quintiles by downside beta. These portfolios are then evaluated using standard asset pricing models, along with extensions that incorporate low-beta strategies such as the inclusio

Problem description: With the rising trend of Swedish investors favoring index funds over actively managed funds, there is a need to evaluate whether this shift is justified. \\[1.75ex] Purpose: the purpose of this thesis is to assess the performance of actively managed Swedish equity funds relative to SEB Sverige Indexnära, an index fund that tracks the OMXSPI, to determine if the growing prefer

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between endorsement of aesthetic ideals and sexual satisfaction. Another aim was to examine the relationship between self-compassion and sexual satisfaction, as well as whether self-compassion affects the relationship between aesthetic ideals and sexual satisfaction. In addition, the study explored potential gender differences in these variables. Th
