This paper aims to examine how nine adopted women, through an article series published in a feminist journal in South Korea, articulate alternative narratives to and thereby resistance towards the normative structures and narratives that exist surrounding adoption, by presenting stories and analyses from lived experience. These alternative stories are analysed through the term reculturation. Four

Min studie har fokuserat på relationerna mellan territorier som produceras på Möllevångstorget och dess temporala aspekter. Jag undersökte därmed hur en territoriellt komplex plats fungerar och hur territorier produceras men argumenterar också för att komplexiteten är en viktig beståndsdel i offentlighet. Studien är gjord utifrån min personliga relation till platsen.

In May 2019, Ikea group in Poland posted an article in the intranet regarding LGBT-movement, encouraging the employees to support the LGBT+ community by participating in the celebration the company was about to host. A religious employee, with the pseudonym Tomasz K., chose to show his disapproval by posting a comment to the article. He cited the bible which stated what destiny awaits homosexual p

Humans spend 90% of their times indoors, and maintaining a pleasant indoor environment is essential. Factors like human behaviour, combustion sources, cleaning supplies, affect the indoor environment, which could potentially affect the human health.the most common answer to controlling the indoor environment is a good HVAC system. Ventilation systems with supply and exhaust are not standard in res

This Master’s thesis deals with the representation of the Sami people in two swedish regional archives in archival material from the 20th century until now. In the content analysis, I notice if the archive holder belongs to the Sami minority or not, in which context the Sami minority appears in the archives, and to which extent the negative label ”lapp” appears. I have examined 255 volumes in Nati

Det här arbetet handlar om hur jag som organist kan använda mig av populärmusik på orgelkonserter för att väcka människors intresse för orgelmusik. I samband med en konsert som byggde på människors önskningar av musik, undersökte jag, med hjälp av en enkät, hur deras intresse förändrades. Jag upptäckte att publikens intresse ökade av att jag breddade min repertoar och att jag själv uppskattade en This study is regarding how I can enhance the audience’s interest in organ music by playing peoples favourite music. After requesting wishes from people, I played a recital based on their answers and at the end the audience answered a questionnaire about their interest in organ music. I found out that their interest was enhanced by this kind of recital and I appreciated the improved audience commu

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the theological discussion of heteronormative structures in the Church of Sweden. Specifically, the purpose is to examine how the Trinity is described in the High Mass in the proposal for the Book of Worship of the Church of Sweden, from a queer theological perspective. The questions asked are: What patriarchal and heteronormative structures exist in the

A fundamental question in aging research is if the human lifespan has reached its maximum, as it has practical implications and affects the sustainability of our societies and health care systems. This thesis uses methods and techniques from extreme value theory to study human lifespan at extreme age, in particular the age at death of the world’s oldest person (WOP) titleholders. Our study is a co

One of the most prioritized goals in transport planning of today is the cost-effective goal to shift the modal split in favour of sustainable transport modes, as e.g. bicycle. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate how to efficiently and successfully realize such transport planning. To do so, it is important to identify which factors affect the modal choice and how these factors should be

Since hormones entered the scientific stage in the early 20th Century they were intrinsically connected with expectations of a better future. The new molecules appeared to be the missing piece in understanding the puzzle that was the human body. Hormones exhibited an impact on bodily functions way beyond anything previously seen, they rejuvenated the old, altered sexes and cured imbeciles. The aim

The classical Borel–Cantelli lemma is a beautiful discovery with wide applications in the mathematical field. The Borel–Cantelli lemmas in dynamical systems are particularly fascinating. Here, D. Kleinbock and G. Margulis have given an important sufficient condition for the strongly Borel–Cantelli sequence, which is based on the work of W. M. Schmidt. This Master’s thesis deals with an improvemen

Resultatet visade att den privatägda organisationen uteslutande använder internpriser till skatteefterlevnad, medan den statliga avser att uppnå resursfördelning och kostnadsallokering. Studien visade att organisationernas förhållningssätt skiljer sig från majoriteten av den befintliga litteraturen inom området internprissättning. Aspekter som är särskilt urskiljbara för organisationernas utformni

Som retorisk genre tar predikan plats varje söndag i varje församling inom Svenska kyrkan över hela vårt land. Predikan, eller homiletiken, är en retorisk genre som ända sedan Jesu dagar har utvecklats och spridit sig över hela världen. Ett möjligt perspektiv inom alla retoriska genrer är humor, vilket bland annat Cicero belyste för över 2000 år sedan. Uppsatsen ämnar därför un-dersöka om man kan

Tänk om Apples Siri kunde fylla i en blankett åt dig på jobbet. Eller om Google Assistant planerade veckans inköpslista. Tänk om alla banala sysslor som du utför rutinmässigt utan någon djupare åtanke kunde skötas automatiskt av en artificiell intelligens, AI. Hur underhållande detta scenario än får vara så är en framtid där alla har en personlig universell assistent fortfarande långt borta. Men äThe Cascade-Correlation learning algorithm, Cascor, is a self-constructive learning algorithm introduced by Fahlman in 1990, which builds the networks one node at the time based on the errors of the network. Cascor has been criticized for creating excessively deep networks and easily overfit. This thesis investigates a few methods that use an internal validation set to add nodes that perform bette

Göteborgs stad har uttryckt en vilja att införa fler offentliga badplatser i Göteborg då vattenkvaliteten i Göta Älv förbättrats. Gamla färjeläget i Eriksberg är i behov av utveckling och det finns potential att bidra med något nytt för staden. Arbetet utforskar rumsliga svar för hur skandinaver kan anamma exotiska badritualer.

The old ferry-point is in need of development and there is a possibility to contribute with something new for the city. The work explores spatial answers for how Scandinavians can practice exotic bathing rituals. It would make these rituals acc
