The aim of this thesis is to develop a conceptual model for understanding conditions for and outcomes of bootstrapping behaviors. Recent literature on financial bootstrapping in new firms acknowledges the necessity to consolidate and conceptualize the existing knowledge. Yet, the focus and findings of current research remain dispersed and at times contradictory, which might indicate the need for c
This article analyzes the use of metaphysics to speak of God within theology. More specifically, the charge of ontotheology levelled against Thomas Aquinas, in particular by Jean-Luc Marion and John Caputo, are being analyzed and criticized, not only with the help of thinkers like John Knasas and W. Norris Clarke, but also Marion himself. Because this article also examines the change of heart that
This article discusses and analyzes an unusual construction in Icelandic, with a plural pronoun in the singular reading and a directly juxtaposed or annexed NP (or DP), where, for example, vio Ólafur (literally "we.nom Olaf.nom") means 'Olaf and I'. We refer to this construction as Pro[NP]. Pro[NP] constructions have been reported for a handful of languages that lack a case system. Icelandic, in c
Recently, several literary works have appeared which use formal experiments and intermedial strategies to thematize memory and history. Authors such as Alexander Kluge, W.G. Sebald, Daniel Mendelsohn, Monica Maron, Jonathan Safran Foer, Don DeLillo and Aleksandar Hemon include other, primarily visual, media such as film, photographs and drawings, in their works while dealing with historical events

The study circle is a cultural and educational phenomenon that has fundamentally affected Sweden and continues to do so even today. The present study investigates the Swedish study circle as a medium. This is done by looking at the notions about what the study circle would be during its early years (1902-1922), through the Swedish Good Templars and Oscar Olsson, also known as “the father of the st
Global pollinator populations are declining. One of the causes is land use change, which results in reduced flower resources in the landscape. Bumblebees have small stores of nectar and pollen and are therefore vulnerable to loss of flower resources. I test if forbs plantings, which enhance forage resources, can support colony development and reproductive success of bumblebee colonies in Californi

The consequences after the end of the Cold War meant a time when the existential threats to the Nordic countries were low, following with the unwillingness of
The aim of this bachelor’s degree essay is to investigate and analyse Søren Kierkegaard as a theologian. Out of the traditional conception of Kierkegaard’s philosophy about the autonomous, free, capable and free to develop oneself, I ask the question – in what purpose do God need to incarnate in order to save humanity? To this question I ask three additional subqueries: according to Kierkegaard in
Now everything is different. Uncertain in a way. We have no idea where we’re going. It seems as if the explanatory models at our disposal aren’t even able to explain where we are today. The world is changing in a pace unprecedented in history. It seems extremely hard to understand how we’re supposed to orient ourselves in such a world. How are we supposed to dream? And what should we dream about?
This paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between maternal education and preventive behaviour. For this purpose, I consider the education reform implemented in Zimbabwe in 1980 that enabled students at age 15 and below to participate in secondary education. By using this age cutoff as an exogenous exposure to the education policy, I obtain causal estimates of schooling on health outco
Today, it seems as if every second designed object is referred to as timeless design. We use the word timeless as a selling word without really thinking about what it means. Through investigating the concept of timeless design, I found the physical paper book being probably one of our most timeless objects. There are tons of book storing furnitures on the market of which the majority consists of
Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet uteslutning av advokater ur advokatsamfundet. Det som jag har intresserat mig för är gränsdragningen mellan påföljderna varning och uteslutning. I och med detta har uppsatsen ett tydligt fokus på rättsfall från Högsta domstolen och avgöranden i advokatsamfundets disciplinnämnd. Jag har även valt att analysera disciplinnämndens arbete kritiskt ur ett rättssäkerhetspersThis essay examines the subject of the exclusion of lawyers from the Swedish bar association.
