Vad är det egentligen som är så roligt? Denna fråga ställer man sig lätt när man tittar i gammal svensk skämtpress, som var en typ av tidning med en storhetstid kring sekelskiftet och första världskriget. De var roliga tidningar, men humor i historisk tid kan vara svår att förstå. För att göra detta behövs humorn sättas in i sitt sammanhang, och det är just detta jag har försökt göra. SammanhangetWhat makes something funny? This is the most basic, underlying question to this thesis, which explores the Swedish satire magazines Söndags-Nisse, Naggen and Strix on their journey through the pinnacle of the Swedish democratization process during the years 1918 to 1922. These types of magazines were of great popularity throughout all of Europe during parts of the late 19th century up until the in

Migrationskrisen 2015 och Rysslands invasion av Ukraina har gett upphov till att människor har sökt sig till Sverige för skydd. Dessutom har den svenska asyl- och migrationspolitiken stramats åt sedan den moderatledda regeringen tillträdde i september 2022. Mot denna bakgrund ämnar uppsatsen undersöka hur ideella organisationer arbetar med integreringen av barn med migrationsbakgrund och vilka utm

Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, the International Labour Organisation estimate that there are 50 million people in modern slavery. In Denmark 294 trafficking victims were identified between 2019-2022, but only two traffickers were convicted of the crime. Trafficking victims are identified as such by Danish courts but also criminalized for crimes committed whils

Globally, enrollment in university education is increasing. However, the sub-Saharan Africa region is lacking behind and with 9% it has the lowest global gross enrollment rate (GER). Low inco

Climate change poses a significant threat to humanity, with devastating consequences already occurring. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy is crucial for mitigating the effects of climate change. High per capita energy consumption and emissions make this transition an urgency for Luxembourg. This study focuses on the sustainable energy transition in Luxembourg, examining challenges and opportun

This essay compares the labour law regulations in Japan and EU/Sweden. The focus of the paper is the definition of workers, negative freedom of association, and minimum wage settings. This paper firstly illustrates who is classified as a ‘worker’ and discusses the issues of unclear categorisation of platform workers and the potential impact of gigification in the labour markets. The EU proposal re

In macroeconomics, the housing market has been well-researched due to its significance for economic and financial stability. This study investigated the predictive importance of selected fundamental and non-fundamental determinants of house price in three different markets: the United States, Sweden, and Japan, across three different periods. By applying a random forest model, this thesis attempte

Using Tobin’s Q as an approximation of firm value, this paper aims to examine the effect of foreign exchange rate derivatives on firm value. Risk management is viewed by many as one of the most vital aspects of corporate- and business strategy. On the topic of risk, foreign exchange rate exposure is a distinctive form of risk confronted by numerous internationally operating firms. The mitigation o

Systemic racism is a prevalent and longstanding problem in society that gained widespread public interest through the Black Lives Matter movement. Following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, the movement expanded to Austria and brought heightened attention to the racialized branding of an Austrian brewery. Here, this expansion contributed to an existing resistance of the NO MOHR campaign aga

Marken är en viktig spelare när det kommer till att lagra kol, särskilt i boreala skogar. Dessa skogar lagrar nämligen största delen av sitt kol i jorden och fungerar som en viktig kolsänka. Men vi vet faktiskt inte helt vad det är som styr detta. Ny forskning har dock lyft ektomykorrhizasvampar som en viktig faktor. Mer konkret så föreslås nu ektomykorrhizasvampars förmåga att frigöra grundämnet Boreal forests store the majority of their carbon in the soil and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that control carbon storage in boreal soils are not well understood. In recent studies, there has been a specific focus on how ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi influence carbon dynamics in boreal forests, particularly through their nitrogen acquisition. A major pa

The late 19th century witnessed a remarkable surge in globalization, resulting in a substantial flow of goods, labour, and capital across national and continental borders. Switzerland, despite its limited domestic market and resource constraints, capitalized on this era of globalization and transformed itself from a relatively impoverished agrarian state to one of the world's wealthiest nation

I studien undersöktes associativ språkinlärning via Virtual Reality (VR) och jämfördes sedan med en mer traditionell ordinlärning via en datorskärm, för att se om det förekom någon skillnad i inlärningen mellan dessa. Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om inlärning av ett nytt språk gynnas av associativ inlärning med flera av våra sinnen genom VR. Vår hypotes var att språkinlärning kan gynThe study examined associative language learning through Virtual Reality (VR) and then compared it to more traditional word learning through a computer screen, in order to see if there was any difference in learning between these two. Purpose. The aim of this study to investigate whether learning a new language benefits from associative learning, with several of our senses, through VR. Our hypoth

The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of how community-based water management approaches facilitate sustainable and collective action (SCA) in the context of increasing water insecurity in Costa Rica. Applying a qualitative approach, based on fieldwork in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, including semi-structured interviews and a digital community survey, the study uncovers facilitating fac

Galektiner är proteiner som finns i människor och i de flesta andra djur. De binder till kolhydrater, särskilt de som innehåller galaktos och förekommer naturligt på cellernas yta och omgivning. Galektinernas interaktion med kolhydrater gör att de spelar stor roll i en rad olika biologiska processer, bland annat kommunikation mellan celler, celldöd och celltillväxt. Idag finns 15 olika identifieraGalectins are small soluble proteins that bind to carbohydrates. They have a high affinity for glycoconjugates containing galactose that exist naturally on the surface of cells and in the extracellular surroundings. This allows them to be involved in many different physiological and pathological process in the human body. Galectin-3, that is the focus in this report, works proinflammatory which no

Ridanläggningar är både arealkrävande och påverkande på sin omgivning ändock är det inte helt självklart huruvida dessa anläggningar kräver bygglov eller ej. Likväl är begreppen idrottsplats och idrottsanläggning inte heller helt självklara vad de innebär och speciellt inte i förhållande till en ridanläggning, det vill säga under vilken av definitionerna som en ridanläggning platsar. Syftet med deKnowing whether a riding facility requires a building permit or not is not always straightforward. Neither is it easy to understand how a riding facility compares to a sports field or sports facility. The aim of this thesis is therefore to define the differences between the definitions and understand how the duty of permit is affected by the definition of the riding facility. It is also investigat

The aim of this study is to investigate Swedish upper secondary English teachers’ attitudes towards and use of Swedish in the EFL classroom.

Five upper secondary English teachers participated in the study. The study was conducted by observing

Although the police are meant to serve and protect its citizens, recent reports show that an alarming number of police officers in Sweden have been subjected to accusations of committing unauthorized registry searches. This study thus aimed to generate knowledge about several police attitudes toward unauthorized data access within the Swedish Police Authority. The research questions, therefore, fo
