Sammandrag Den som översätter bör vara välinsatt i både utgångsspråket och målspråket, men översättaren bör också vara hemmastadd i den miljö där berättelsens handling äger rum. Om dessa villkor inte är uppfyllda finns en risk för översättningsfel. Som översättningsfel kan man då betrakta ord vars översättning baseras på en felaktig språkanalys och sådana fria översättningar som förvränger berätt

This paper examines the persuasive role of ethos and persona in trickster discourse by studying the pilot episode of the Australian TV-series "John Safran's Race Relations". Using methods of Role- and Fantasy-theme criticism I conclude that the artefact uses a strategy of authority by experience and identification to create a strong bond of sympathy for the main character, who le

Current law and its development in the areas of custody, right of access to children and risk assessment are explo

Overfishing is a severe threat to all of the world’s fisheries. Uncontrolled effort levels and insufficient research about the state of the fish stocks has lead to a rapid decline in many fish stock populations. The most recent research reported that 32% of global marine resources are either overexploited or depleted and that 53% are fully exploited. Many countries put their hope to designing fish

Denna uppsats undersöker vad som utmärker de oerhört framgångsrika tal som hålls under TED-konferensen i Kalifornien och via internet har setts av miljontals tittare världen över. Med utgångspunkt i retoriken som kodifierad praxis har utmärkande drag hos dessa tal analyserats för att ta reda på vad som gör dem till goda exempel värda att efterbilda. Speciellt för den retoriska situationen är att T

The purpose of this paper was to explore the obstacles in the way of girls’ enrolment in primary and secondary schools in rural and tribal Pakistan. Here the study explored the main cultural and financial barriers, which have increased a gender disparity in the enrolment of rural and tribal schools. The focus of the thesis was main barriers in the way of enrolment and the role of theoretical conce

We explore the theory and phenomenology of spatial extra dimensions in the Randall-Sundrum scenario; a possible extension to the Standard Model. We motivate the need for beyond standard model extensions and show how the original Randall- Sundrum model solves the hierarchy problem of particle physics. We also treat an extension to the Randall-Sundrum model where Standard Model fields live in the ex

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) is a relatively new way of handling stormwater in urban environments. Originating in the late 1980’s, the concept has developed as an alternative to the traditional way of removing the urban water as quick as possible in pipes, buried underneath the ground. Sustainable urban drainage systems are open solutions, designed to regenerate nature’s way of stormw

This thesis deals with money supply and stock prices. Specifically it inquires what macroeconomic factors influences the stock market index. Given the high degree of equity correlation in the market, variables previously used for explaining the cross-section of expected returns are tested against the S&P500 index. The macroeconomic variables used in Chen et.al (1986) are tested for their abili

I denna studie undersöktes huruvida självkänslan har blivit mer positiv eller negativ för ungdomar i årskurs sju och nio år 2011 jämfört med 1981-83 samt i årskurs två på gymnasiet år 2011 jämfört med årskurs ett och tre på gymnasiet år 1993. Därutöver undersöktes sambandet mellan självkänsla och psykisk ohälsa. I studien besvarade 299 ungdomar i årskurs sju, nio samt årskurs två på gymnasiet frågThe aim of the study was to compare adolescents’ levels of self-esteem 2011 with results obtained in a similar sample 1981-83 and 1993. Levels of self-esteem among thirteen and fifteen year olds in 2011 were compared with results from 1981-83, and levels of self-esteem among seventeen year olds in 2011 were compared with results from 1993. An additional aim was to investigate the relation between

Pilotstudien i Vångs by, Johannishus, belyser historiska kartors relevans vid geologisk jordartskartering. Jordartsgeologiska kartor är viktiga för fysisk planering och används av kommuner, länsstyrelser, konsulter m.fl. Johannishusområdets jordartsgeologi är representativ för stora delar av Sverige och innehåller jordarter som bildats både över och under högsta kustlinjen (HK). Syftet med studienThe study in Vång by, Johannishus, highlights relevance of using historical maps in geological survey of quaternary deposits. Maps of quaternary deposits are important for planning and are used by municipalities, county administrative boards, consultants and others. The Quaternary deposits in Johannishus are representative of large parts of Sweden and were formed both above and below the highest c

I Zinkgruvan, Sverige, bryts zink, bly och silver ur en stratiform malmkropp. Denna anses vara syngenetiskt avsatt och återfinns i metavulkaniska och metasedimentära bergarter. En förkastning, Knallaförkastningen, delar malmförekomsten i två delar. Den västra delen, Knalla, är kraftigt deformerad medan den östra, Nygruvan, har en väl utvecklad lagring. Stratigrafiskt under Zn-Pb-Ag- malmen i västrAt Zinkgruvan, Sweden, zinc, lead and silver are mined from a stratiform ore body. It is considered syngenetic and situated in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. A fault, the Knalla fault, separates the Zinkgruvan deposit into two parts. In the western part, Knalla, the ore is severely deformed, whereas in the eastern part, Nygruvan, a distinct layering occurs. In the western part of Knalla,
