In times of globalization, cultural contact is a phenomenon that occurs on a daily basis. Immigration is a big contributor to the cultural contact. The phenomenon of immigration brings about many essential questions that can be hard to adjust to. The acculturation process itself is dependent of factors such as the contemporary societal climate as well as the active role of the immigrant. Questions

Den här uppsatsen handlar om koreografens rätt till skydd för sina verk. Jag diskuterar tre rättsliga problem med detta skydd. Det första handlar om svårigheterna att dra gränsen mellan koreografens nya skapande i förhållande till tidigare verk. Nya koreografier bygger ofta på gamla dansmönster och steg. Svårigheter kan uppstå med att bestämma var det ena verket slutar och det andra börjar. Det anThis essay discusses the choreographer's right to protection of their works. I discuss three legal problems with this protection. The first is the difficulty to draw the line between choreographer's new building in relation to earlier works. New choreographies are often based on ancient dance patterns and steps. Difficulties may arise in deciding where one work ends and the other begins. T

Åldersbestämning med 14C-metoden kräver kalibrering med hjälp av en oberoende dateringsteknik. En idealisk metod som idag används för kalibreringen är dendrokronologi, eftersom trädens årsringar utgör ett nästan perfekt arkiv av 14C-halten i atmosfären och eftersom dendrodatering är en mycket exakt metod. Bakgrunden till detta arbete är ett forskningsprojekt vid Lunds universitet, där man i trädriRadiocarbon dating requires calibration by an independent dating technique. An ideal method used to calibrate radiocarbon results is dendrochronology, because tree-rings are almost perfect archives of the atmospheric radiocarbon level and dendrodating can be very accurate. However, an age offset between the calibrated 14C and dendrochronologically-dated ages has been observed for certain pine-tree

Sustainable development as a policy concept has during the last twenty years developed into a huge field where the environmental, economic and social areas of society are being intertwined. And the aim of these policies is to reach the goal of a global sustainable future for all. Even though, the social aspects of sustainable development has been shown to often be neglected in the analysis, and no

The focus of this study is threefold: (1) to examine how jaw displacement patterns vary with prosodic focus in American English, (2) to determine whether narrow focus induces greater jaw lowering than broad focus, and (3) to compare two different techniques for recording these jaw displacement patterns—Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) and the new, innovative MARRYS helmet system. Simultaneous

Complement factor D (FD) (adipsin), is an adipokine essential for the activation of the complement alternative pathway (AP), contributing to inflammation but also to metabolic homeostasis through C3a production. We investigated the metabolic regulation of Cfd expression in mouse models. A diet-induced model of insulin resistance reduced expression of key AP components, including adipose Cfd, hepat

Obesity-related type 2 diabetes (T2D) is currently defined by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Sulfonylureas, thiazolinediones, and insulin are effective at lowering glycemia yet have not consistently translated into improved long-term outcomes. In contrast, recent interventions often produce metabolic benefits that exceed expectations based on glucose lowering alone. These contr

Maritime decarbonisation is often framed as a techno-economic challenge, with most efforts toward a green future focusing on reducing the sector’s carbon output. There is no shortage of innovation in this regard, and the drive to make the transition happen is strong: the process demands the development of cleaner fuel alternatives and the advancement of propulsion system engineering, complemented

My study is about how parents talk to their children about alcohol. The purpose of my study was to study how young teenagers communicate with their parents about alcohol. I also wanted to find out if parents have any influence over their children's choice of drinking. I have chosen to look at these questions from the perspective that alcohol is a cultural phenomenon, that children is a part of

Local politicians are key actors in the democratic system and their ideas concerning democracy plays a central role in local democratic politics. The study's point of departure is the notion that local politicians are dependent of coherence between practice and theory concerning democracy and in the study of their ideas we acquire knowledge about the democratic practice. This study examines t

This thesis presents an analysis of a conversation between a therapist and her client. Through a study of the conversation's topics and structure I have been able to draw conclusions on how the therapist governs and steers the session. With the use of certain tools, such as introductions of topics, invitations, paraphrasing and explorative questions, the therapist presents the frames of the co
