I read Ali’s novel as a 'feminist Bildungsroman' with the key focus on how the female migrant protagonist Nazneen’s changing self-conception and construction of a new identity in London leads
This paper gives insight into the historical research of the academic Ronny Ambjörnsson and his work in the swedish field of history of ideas. Applying an agent perspective it shows how Ambjörnsson constructed and aimed to show how an history of ideas that involves the broader communities of history, workers and farmers that constitutes ”the people”, could be done. The paper shows that Ambjörnsson
Sociologer hävdar ibland att kärlek i det senmoderna samhället genomgår en kris. En del av krisen handlar om en till synes svårlöst konflikt mellan närhet och självbestämmande. Människor vill å ena sidan stå varandra nära. Samtidigt kan närhet upplevas både kravfyllt och kvävande, men också riskabelt i den mån ett relationsval utestänger alternativa möjligheter. Frågan som ställer saken på sin speIn recent years, romantic love has been problematized and questioned by sociologists and activists. Part of this questioning comes from relationship anarchy, a phenomenon which can be described partly as a critical school of social philosophy, partly as a comparably small-sized social movement. Sociologists such as Beck and Beck-Gernsheim argue that romantic love suffers from a conflict between cl
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning en arbetsgivare kan bestämma vad en arbetstagare ska ha på sig på arbetsplatsen utan att inskränka på den anställdas skydd mot att bli diskriminerad. Fokus ligger på att bena ut vad som ryms under begreppet arbetsledningsrätt när det gäller arbetstagarens utseende på jobbet samt vilka begränsningar som finns i denna fråga. En vinkel som undThe aim of this essay is to investigate the extent to which employers can decide what employees wear at work before restricting the employee's right not to be discriminated. The main focus lies in figuring out what the term managerial prerogative entails when it comes to the employee’s appearance at work including the juridical limitations in this question. One angle of the matter is consideri
Abstract Author: Anton Bengtsson and Antonio Peralta Title: To grow up on the right or the wrong side of town: A comparative study between men that have grown up in deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods.

The nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel are often identified as a group at the frontline of global climate change. Their existence in arid and semi-arid regions and their reliance on seasonal rainfall are among the factors that contribute to their vulnerability to drought and climate shocks. This study focuses on risks to pastoralists in Sudan, asking whether index-based livestock insurance, an innoPastoralism is a nomadic lifestyle and a livelihood system that revolves around raising livestock. By migrating seasonally in search of water and pasture for their animals, pastoralists are able to inhabit and make productive use some of the world’s harshest environments. In Sudan, where over 90% of the vast land area is covered by desert and drylands, pastoralism remains a vital feature of the co
The transmission function for a three and four rectangular barrier system of InP andInAs is computed using the transfer-matrix method and the transmission formalism. Thewidths of the wells and the barriers are varied while the barrier height is kept constant.Such a multi-barrier structure is designed in order to act as a filter in a nanowire basedsolar cell, where effective hot carrier transport w

Syfte: Att undersöka klimatvårdens inverkan på stämningsläget hos strokepatienter. Metod: En kvalitativ intervju med semistrukturerade frågor samt ett kvantitativt självskattningsinstrument i form av en enkät, HAD (Hospital Anxiety anPoststroke depression (PSD) is a common complication after stroke. The effects of climate therapy on rehabilitation of stroke patients constitute a scientific knowledge gap. Purpose: To investigate the impact of climate therapy on the mood of stroke patients. Method: A qualitative interview with semi-structured questions and a quantitative self- assessment tool in the form of a survey, HAD (Hospi
The thesis discusses a myth of Kumari in relation to historical events and political tendencies in the Kathmandu valley. While historically myths have been used for various purposes, most of which are harmless, sometimes the motives do not justify the actions. In a nutshell, in the thesis the author is trying to show how a myth can be manipulated by political actors in order to legitimise or secur
Bakgrund: Traditionellt träffar barn och dess familjer läkare då de besöker en barnakutmottagning, på barnakutmottagningen i Lund triageras vid ankomst alla barn av en sjuksköterska. Sjuksköterskebesök är både nytt och svenskt. Syfte: Undersöka vilka patientkategorier som återkommer till Lunds barnakutmottagning inom fem dygn efter att ha triagerats hem eller till annan vårdinstans av sjukskötersk
In recent years, Ethiopia’s double-digit growth rates are regarded as an economic miracle. As the government assigned a key role for the private sector to promote industrialization, this paper investigates the current state of the private sector in the manufacturing industry and the extent it contributes to the growth and development in Ethiopia. An exploratory case study approach was implemented
Many companies today are introducing services in their portfolios as a result of globalization and increased competition. Service offerings are however significantly different from product offerings both in terms of company resources and processes and customer perceived value. A stronger service orientation includes a focus on relational and process aspects as opposed to transactional and product

Interviews have been conducted with 36 Kurdish women in the North of Syria and in Iraq’s Kurdistan in 2018. Moreover this study is enriched by my t
The Lane-Emden equation is a non-linear differential equation governing the equilibrium of polytropic stationary self-gravitating, spherically symmetric star models; $${\frac {1}{\xi ^{2}}}{\frac {d}{d\xi }}\left({\xi ^{2}{\frac {d\theta }{d\xi }}}\right)+\theta ^{n}=0.$$ In the isothermal cases we have the Chandrasekhar equation: $${\frac {1}{\xi ^{2}}}{\frac {d}{d\xi }}\left({\xi ^{2}{\frac {
Problembeskrivning: Lagerdesign är en erkänt komplex process, då många faktorer måste tas i beaktande och många beslut innefattar diverse trade-offs. De flesta lagerdesignprojekt idag baseras antingen på lagerdesignerns ackumulerade expertis och erfarenhet från liknande projekt eller på detaljerade simulationer över materialflöde och utrustning. I dagens snabba affärsklimat finns det dock sällan t

Bakgrund Södra regionvårdsnämnden som omfattar Skåne, Blekinge, Kronoberg och södra Halland genomför ett projekt för att se över strokesjukvården då de vill ha en jämlik vård i hela regionen. Forskningen inom stroke utvecklas i rask takt och nya behandlingsmetoder som trombektomi har nyligen introducerats. Detta ställer nya krav på strokesjukvården. Framför allt vill projektet undersöka möjlighete
I Craiks och Lockharts ansats om Levels of processing anses minnesspår vara ett primärt resultat av bearbetningens kvalité och djup. De skiljer därför på ytlig bearbetning, som ett stimulis övergripande utseende, och djupare bearbetning, såsom semantiska egenskaper, där den senare ska resultera i ett mer minnesvärt spår. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på om denna argumentation kan verifierIn Craik´s and Lockhart´s Level of Processing framework, memory traces are considered to be a primary result of depth and quality of processing. They therefore distinguish a difference in shallow processing, such as a stimulus´s overall appearance, and deeper processing, such as semantic features, where the latter is supposed to result in a more memorable trace. The aim of this study is to find ou
