The aim of this study is to examine how the need for belonging and search for an identity manifest themselves in the autobiographical works of two gay contemporary writers: Abdellah Taïa and Édouard Louis. Both authors have, during their childhood and adolescence, been confronted with a society that tried to exclude them for being ‘different’ and not fitting in the heterosexual norm. Suddenly, the
The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked
Brine disposal remains one of the most significant environmental challenges associated with desalination, driving the need for sustainable technologies such zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems. Among emerging ZLD techniques, membrane distillation crystallization (MDCr) offers a promising approach by integrating water recovery with salt crystallization. In MDCr, a hydrophobic membrane separates wat
Den 1 juli 2022 trädde en ändring av lagen (1988:254) om förbud beträffande knivar och andra farliga föremål, även kallad knivlagen, i kraft. Denna innebar bl.a. att kvalifikationsgrunder infördes för bedömningen av om ett brott ska rubriceras som grovt, och att straffskalan för grovt brott skärptes till fängelse i lägst sex månader och högst två år. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analyseraOn 1 July 2022, the Swedish Act (1988:254) on the Prohibition of Knives and Other Dangerous Objects (the Swedish Knife Act), which criminalizes possession of knives and other dangerous objects in public places, was amended. Through the amendment, four criteria were introduced to the statutory text, which are to be given particular consideration when assessing whether a violation of the law is to b
Att mäta framgång i byggprojekt idag kan vara svårt. Dels att hitta en samsyn på vad framgång är dels hur man ska mäta framgång. Genom den forskning som finns inom området kan man konstatera att det är äldre metoder som används än idag för att mäta framgång. Dessa metoder har även modifierats med tiden och bildat nya metoder. De vanligaste områdena att mäta för att förstå framgång i forskning är tMeasuring success in construction projects today can be difficult—partly due to the lack of consensus on what success is, and partly due to the challenge of how to measure it. Existing research shows that older methods are still used to measure success, though many of these have been modified over time and evolved into new approaches. The most common aspects evaluated in research when measuring su
The crucial effects of climate change have made the question about sustainability even more urgent and important in today's society. To avoid further consequences, and create a sustainable future for future generations, we need a green transition. A key part of the green transition is the transition to sustainable, renewable energy which also is essential for phasing out the use of fossil fuel
Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk. This master's thesis was conducted in collabora
Over the past two decades, collaboration has emerged as a keyword and an important methodological and ethical concern in various disciplines, which has nurtured interdisciplinary approaches that often encompass innovative processes of knowledge production. In sonic practice, trends such as participatory art, the workshop turn, and ideas of Do-It-With-Others contributed to the emergence of creative
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Stockholms skärgårds unika miljö utgör livs- och reproduktionsmiljö för ⅓ av Sveriges reproducerande fiskarter. Fisketrycket i detta område har länge varit mycket högt. Detta i kombination med att allt fler turister och fritidsboende söker sig ut till kustområdena ökar behovet av ett effektivt förvaltande av fisken och fisket för att förhindra utarmning samt säkThis work is a GIS study of fishing rights distribution between different categories of owners and properties in the Stockholm Archipelago. The purpose was to create basic data used to establish fishing laws and restrictions within the Stockholm County. Stockholm’s archipelago consists of a unique environment and is the natural life and reproduction environment for ⅓ of Sweden’s reproducing fish s
Smålands museum, the museum of Småland, is a museum for the county of Kronoberg, a mission given to the museum by the state and county council. The main fields of the museum are the cultural heritage and the history of culture of the region. The museum of Småland is also the Swedish museum of glass. This Master s thesis focuses on the information requirements of the employees at the museum of Smål
In this paper Swedish hedge funds and strategies are discussed and analysed. These new financial forms seem to draw recently a huge attention both in media, press and the academic world. The fact is that hedge funds have existed already for a long time but it is still known too little about them. After the introduction of hedge funds, different asset pricing models are discussed including the most
Banks carry a great responsibility when it comes to the financial systems in our society. Disturbance in the credit system affects both lender and borrower. All financial institutions must therefore carefully estimate their risk exposure. This assessment enables them to cover themselves from losses with appropriate capital buffers as main guardian. In order to prevent bank crises and also to maint
Today the newly emerging Chinese MNEs have increasingly been involved in the internationalization activities, but they have not attracted adequate attention in terms of internationalization studies. This paper will be based on Dunning’s Eclectic (OLI) Paradigm as theoretical foundation and deploy the method of case study to analyze the internationalization strategy of the Chinese high-technology M
Intellectual property is a very important type of asset in today’s business world. Since business in the Western World grows increasingly based and dependent on know-how and technological development, intangible assets such as trademarks, copyrights and patents plausibly represent greater economic value to economic actors here than other, physical, assets do. Although it is comparatively unknown
Our main purpose with this study is to examine and elucidate the recovery process that occurs when women choose to break up from destructive relationships. Our aim is also to clarify what, by the women themselves, is considered to be efficient help in relation to what in fact is offered in actuality. The idea of this selection was that we, in the study of the recovery process, would make a compili
The impact of commuting on health depends, in part, on the mode of travel. A sizeable body of literature addresses associations between mode choice and health status, but little is known about how a person's health affects commuting mode choice. Stress, exhaustion and obesity are threats to public health that increase in modern societies. Understanding how these concerns impact mode choice is impo
In this thesis, Photon Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy (PTOFS) is presented as a method to measure absorption and scattering spectra of turbid media samples in the near infra red wavelength range. In particular, absorption and scattering spectra measured on pharmaceutical tablets and dairy products are used to analyse the composition of the samples. In PTOFS, a temporally short pulse of a specific wav
