This thesis explores the topic of interpellation and subjugation in fantasy computer role-playing games (CRPGs). Using an assemblage-based framework, I argue that CRPG players are hailed and manipulated by the interplay of several texts and dynamics—mainly prose, code, numerical values, rule sets, and mechanics. My research focuses on games with extensive textual narratives that match—or exceed—th
Offentlig upphandling är ett stort rättsområde som spelar en viktig roll i samhället. Offentlig upphandling omsätter miljardbelopp årligen och sysselsätter otroligt många människor. Den svenska lagstiftningen kring offentlig upphandling utgår ifrån den unionsrätt som Sverige blev en del av i samband med inträdet i EU i början av 1990-talet. Offentlig upphandling regleras på EU-nivå av en katalog aPublic procurement is a large area of law that plays an important part in todays society. Public procurement turns over billions of Swedish kronor annually and employs lots of people. The Swedish legislation on public procurement derives from the union law that Sweden became a part of in connection with joining the European Union in the beginning of the 1990’s. Public procurement is regulated by a
På sociala medier tar människor sig friheter när det gäller användningen av bilder på barn, och det framförallt inom humanitära organisationer och företag. Bilden på barnet, används som ett politiskt verktyg för förändring och som en empatiförhöjare för att få målgrupper att agera. Fenomenet är något som numera även syns bland kändisars och influerares sociala plattformar, vilket skapar en stor sp
This thesis investigates the unique queer male engagement with the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno and its source material, the erotic novella Belinda Blinked. While gay or bisexual males are never present in the fictional story in the book series, queer male fans are amongst the most outspoken in online communities dedicated to the show. The matter of representation of queer males in media is a curr
Ett par mil utanför Tallinn finns ett övergivet kalkbrott. Stenen i kalkbrottet bröts av fångar från de närliggande fängelserna som ligger innanför dubbla murar ovanför sjön som bildats när verksamheten lades ner och grundvattnet slutade pumpas ut i början av 1990-talet. Vattnet har stigit så att flera byggnader står helt eller delvis i vattnet. Fängelset och den kringliggande byn, Rummu, är bygg
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka förekomsten av heteronormativitet i tre svenska historieläroböcker. Denna undersökning ska även bidra till en förståelse av heteronormativitet i den svenska skolan och ge ett perspektiv på vilkas historia som uppmärksammas i historieundervisning. Detta syfte uppnås genom att besvara följande frågeställningar: Hur förekommande är heteronormativiteten i de tThe aim of this essay is to study the presence of heteronormativity in three Swedish history textbooks. This study shall contribute towards an understanding of heteronormativity in Swedish schools and give insight into who the study of history prioritises. The aim will be fulfilled by answering the following questions: to what extent is heteronormativity present within the three history textbooks’
Genomic rearrangements larger than 50 bp are called structural variants. As a group, they affect the phenotypic diversity among humans and have been associated with many human disorders including neurodevelopmental disorder and cancer. Recent advances in whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies have made it possible to identify many more disease-causing genetic variants relevant in clinical diag
This thesis is based on my interpretation of three particular visual examples that were created in relation to the racial tensions that were occurring at the time of their production. My visual examples are (1) the 2016 campaign advert commissioned by Operation Black vote (2) The music video I’m not Racist by the American rapper Joyner Lucas relaesed in 2017 (3) Sir Davey’s Proclamation Board to t
The main aim of the present study was to study memory interference using a more ecological approach, where competing events can be separated by the environmental context. In order to increase the ecological validity of the study, context was manipulated through the presentation of video clips instead of commonly used static pictures. The second aim of the study was to assess if the contextual cues

Adult neurogenesis is the process of generating new neurons from neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian brain, which occurs in two neurogenic niches; the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dental gyrus (DG). In rodents, neurogenesis continues throughout life, but this process decreases with age, which may result in cogniti
As global average temperatures are rising, the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has ramped up its anti-climate but pro environmental protection politics. As this focus is nascent, the question of how and for whom does the political ecology of the AfD articulates meaning has yet received little attention. My analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with party membe
Detta examensarbete har undersökt tillämpningen av förpackningar för färsk frukt och grönsaker, med fokus på onödiga förpackningar. Olika faktorer påverkar frukt och grönsaker efter skörd som är relevanta att beakta vid förvaring och hantering. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur användningen av förpackningar ser ut för frukt och grönsaker. Arbetet ska även utforska butikers och konsumenters syn This degree project has studied the use of packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables focusing on excess packaging. Different factors after harvest affect fruits and vegetables that are of relevance to consider when storing and handling these. The purpose of this study has been to find used. The approach on the subject from out how packaging for fruits and vegetables is grocery stores and consume
Memory competition often hinders the retrieval of a particular event. It has long been established that access to the encoding context facilitates later retrieval. Previous research suggested that context is encoded alongside with event memories like bookmarks and can be used to differentiate target memory from competitors. The current study used pupillometry to investigate if context mitigates me
This thesis sought to investigate how ISOs shaped their strategic narratives, linked to their reactions and actions against Russia, since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In addition, it also intends to shine light on how international sport activities can be used as a soft power tool in international politics. Using a combination of a case study and qualitative content analysis, it is revealed ho
