The dissertation analyzes a recognized collective political actor in Egypt, the shabāb al-thawra – the revolutionary youth. The thesis posits that in order to understand the shabāb al-thawra political actor, it is necessary problematize “revolutionary youth” beyond its nominative sense. Instead, the concepts of “youth” and “revolutionary” are conceived as communities of practice, whereby “youth” r
The traditional view of asthma has changed considerably during the last decades. A paradigm shift in our understanding of asthma has turned our focus from the importance of muscle spasm to inflammation. Today asthma is believed to be a central airway inflammatory disorder, and the importance of activated eosinophils found in central airway biopsies and in induced sputum is believed to be a hallmar
The purpose or the study is to explore Google’s network expansion through acquisitions by integrating two different perspectives - Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory - in order to fill the gap in the existing branding literature in relation to network theory. In addition to Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory, the study also explores literature that is related to interrelatedn
I have conducted a qualitative study based on five adult sober alcoholics’ life stories. The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe
This study analyzes the personal identification process that takes place in the actual meeting of a job coach and a job seeker, with the purpose of making the job seeker employable. The empirical data consists of observations during nine job coach meetings, and interviews with four job coaches. The analysis is based on a social constructionist perspective. The findings point to contradictions in t
The WEEE Directive requires the producers to fulfil e-waste compliance according to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) principle. In order for producers to comply with the requirements nationally, collective compliance schemes were formed. Usually the manufacturers join together and form producer responsibility organisations (PROs) which take the responsibility for organising the waste man
The purpose of this study was to examine how turning points manifest themselves during the life course of people that have substance abuse. We collected our data through a qualitative method, by reading four autobiographies written by authors who describe in detail how they encountered substances, and how they managed to turn their life around for the better. The chosen material was written in Swe
The PYTHIA program is a standard tool for the generation of events in high-energy collisions, comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process to a complex multiparticle final state. It contains a library of hard processes, models for initial- and final-state parton showers, matching and merging methods between hard processes and parton showers, multiparto
The objective of this study was to examine to what extent ergonomics simulations of manual assembly tasks correctly predict the real outcomes in the plants and if recommended measures originating from ergonomics simulations are taken into consideration. 155 ergonomics simulation cases were used in the study and all cases were performed by nine simulation engineers at Volvo Car Corporation in Gothe
The aim of this study is to explore if and how library managers market their competence in communication with local politicians. It is also our aim to find a definition of the competence of librarians. The report identifies and describes problems and possibilities with marketing of competence to politicians on the basis of one Swedish municipality's library managers. In order to fulfil this a
Behovet av effektiviseringar för lagföringen av personer som har begått brott har länge diskuterats framförallt ur ett effektiviserings perspektiv men även ur ett processekonomiskt perspektiv. Stora och komplicerade mål skapar långa och resurskrävande utredningar som dessutom låter den misstänkte sväva i ovisshet under en lång tid. Ett förslag som har diskuterats men som än så länge avskrivits äThe need to make the process in which persons who have committed crimes are brought to justice has long been discussed from a efficiency perspective but also from a process economical perspective. Large and complicated cases create long and costly investigations and also make the suspects linger in uncertainty for a long time. One alternative that has been discussed but so far discarded is the i
The authors Jeremy Carrette and Richard King argues that spirituality has become a subject of commodification (i.e. transformed into a commodity) as a consequence of the growing impact of Neoliberalism in the Western world since the 1980´s. These new forms of spirituality substitute traditional religion in secular societies and often operate with a hidden economic agenda. McDonaldization is a soci
Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att belysa hur man inom svensk rätt sett på problematiken rörande simulation av sinnessjukdom, när simulantens intention varit att undvika straff. Jag har använt mig av ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv och berör inte modernare lagstiftning än den som är stiftad tidi-gare än år 1929. Även om huvudsyftet är simulationsproblematiken har jag ansett det viktigt att ge The purpose of this bachelor’s essay is to show how the Swedish legal sys-tem has dealt with simulation of mental illness, where the simulator’s pur-pose was to avoid conviction. I have used a legal historical perspective and the essay does not concern more modern legislation than that made before the year of 1929. Though the main subject of the study is simulation, I have also described the rest
Den vanligaste formen för utländska företag att bedriva verksamhet i Sverige är genom ett svenskt aktiebolag. Så har det varit under mycket lång tid men sedan år 1955 finns även möjligheten att bedriva verksamheten genom en svensk filial. Aktiebolagsformen är alltjämt vanligast men filialformen har med åren blivit mer populär. Vid utgången av år 2012 fanns 2 631 filialer registrerade i Sverige. FiForeign companies running business in Sweden usually register a Swedish ”aktiebolag” which is a type of company controlled by the company shareholders. Similar forms of corporations are the German Aktiengesellschaft and the British limited company. For a long time the only available option was to register a Swedish legal person in order to conduct business in Sweden. However, since 1955 it has bee
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar en hinduisk, framför allt sydindisk form av divination vid namn nadi-läsning, uppbyggd efter astrologiskt mönster men med vissa utmärkande särdrag, framför allt uppläsandet av föregivet färdigskrivna texter, tillskrivna gudomliga eller övermänskliga författare, i vilka klientens levnadsöde skall ha nedtecknats långt före dennes födelse. EftLike all divination, Hindu astrology (jyotisa) is concerned with central religious issues such as man’s relation to the world, moral responsibility, and the revelation of a coherent divine order underlying human experience. Comprising a descriptive as well as a prescriptive aspect, jyotisa allows for both prediction and the exercise of free will. This double nature enables a seamless
The thesis deals with determination of the post peak behaviour of wood in pure tension and pure shear. Furhermore, the "Fictitious Crack Model" (FCM), which is a nonlinear fracture mechanics model ; originally developed for description of crack propagation in concrete, is employed to demonstrate the advantages of non linear fracture mechanics. A testing arrangement is presented with which the comp
The thesis is based on the data analysis and detector development of the EMU01/CERN, E863/BNL and UA1/CERN experiments. Particle fluctuations are studied with the scaled factorial moments in the fragmentation region of oxygen-induced emulsion interactions from 3.7 to 200 A GeV. The intermittency indices show an energy independent behaviour in the target and projectile regions of pseudorapidity. I
The capacity of murine liver dendritic cells (DC) to present bacterial Ags and produce cytokines after encounter with Salmonella was studied. Freshly isolated, nonparenchymal liver CD11c(+) cells had heterogeneous expression of MHC class II and CD11b and a low level of CD40 and CD86 expression. Characterization of liver DC subsets revealed that CD8alpha(-)CD4(-) double negative cells constituted t
