Uppsatsen innehåller huvudsakligen en teoretisk och praktisk analys av manusförfattarnas tillvaro, analysmetoden används som en referensram i övriga
Title: How do music students with different genre backgrounds perceive the same music? In this paper I report a study about how music students with different genre background perceive the same music. I let twentyone classical music upper secondary school pupils and twentyone rock music upper secondary school pupils listen to ten short music pieces of different character and styles. While listening
This thesis is a contribution to current research conducted from a so called neo-Whorfian perspective. That is, do linguistic differences yield differences in categorization preference (in a forced choice similarity task)? However, the debate over the pervasiveness of the linguistic effect upon categorization, together with the incoherent findings in prior studies suggest a theoretically open-mind
I dagens samhälle finns det en uppsjö av olika trenddieter som förespråkas i medier. En av de senaste årens mest uppmärksammade kosthållning är glykemisk index. I en värld där medier har stor makt att förmedla olika beskrivningar av verkligheten blir det därför intressant att undersöka vad medierna egentligen kommunicerar genom sin framställning av GI. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur GI
Detta examensarbete består av två delar, dels en översättning av en EU-relaterad text, dels en analysdel där översättningsproblem knutna till klarspråk diskuteras. Analysdelen består i sin tur av en textanalys av källtexten och en fördjupning i ett antal klarspråksfrågor som aktualiseras i översättningen. En av slutsatserna är att översättningens potentiella kvalitet i viss utsträckning är avhängi
Ecological sanitation (EcoSan) is an emerging wastewater treatment approach that is likely to be more economical and ecologically sustainable as compared to the conventional ?end of pipe? sewer approach. The challenge of advocating such a system is often associated with how the system is incorporated into governmental policy and how this policy is translated into actual implementation. This resea
The Rural Energy Enterprise Development (REED) initiative provides assistance to energy-related enterprises to prepare them for growth and to make eventual investments by mainstream financial partners less risky. This study assesses the non-financial returns of a number of REED-type enterprises and provides guidance for the selection and ongoing evaluation of these enterprises within the context
Our tendency to associate attractive people with positive traits and unattractive people with negative traits is well documented. Stereotypes have traditionally been measured using either explicit measures such as questionnaires, or implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test. In the present experiment it was tested whether the beautiful is good stereotype could also be measured using
In Sweden, energy utilities face the double challenge of complying with the Kyoto protocol targets and increasing renewable energy capacity to make use of the electricity certificates system. Sydkraft AB and Vattenfall AB, two of the largest players in the Nordic electricity market, have different expectations regarding the future development of the two mechanisms and, therefore, have different ap
Private companies, more and more, address their environmental impact through increasingly sophisticated internal environmental work. The concept of Industrial Ecology (IE) and its local/regional application, Industrial Symbiosis (IS), indicate that there is potential for further improvements in the environmental performance of companies at their interorganisational interfaces. Besides improving th
Sweden is divided according to an ethnic boundary, which divides people in "we" and "the others", "Swedes" and "immigrants" (Ålund, 2002). We believe this is due to the fact that society categorises immigrants all the time as a homogeneous group with fixed and static qualities, resulting in a situation where you cannot represent yourself as a person. Instead
This case study aims to dissect the world famous Wenzhou footwear manufacturing industry in order to discover how, if at all, the case complies with an industrial organisation framework, namely the industrial district model, which is becoming more and more prevalent in less developed countries (LDCs). In order to examine the extent to which the industrial district model may have developed and adv
The government of Vietnam has recently launched policies concerning labour migration as a tool for poverty reduction. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which these policies contribute to poverty reduction by focusing on one commune in the northern uplands of Viet Nam, where people have been encouraged to go to Malaysia as contracted workers. This study is a contribution made fr
Two experiments examined implicit and explicit attitudes for attitude-congruent material. Both implicit and explicit memory was measured with the same stimuli and the same responses in both experiments. 22 (14 female, 8 male) university students took part in experiment 1 where implicit and explicit attitude was measured for positive or negative images in combination with positive or negative words
This thesis attempts to contribute to our understanding of the problem of honour killing, and more specifically investigates why justice system in Pakistan has been failed to eradicate practice of honour killing particularly in Sindh. To investigate and analyze the research problem, the study incorporated interview assessments of representatives of ministries of women development, NGOs, and lawye
There is a debate in Japan which focuses on the lifestyle choices of young Japanese. The elder generation think youth are being selfish and not making a sufficient contribution to society in that they are not conforming to traditional societal expectations. However, it is not so easy to contribute to society when youth have been hit particularly hard by unemployment, changing recruitment practice
Since China's economic reform in 1979, millions of rural migrant workers have moved into urban areas attracted by the booming economy. Due to socio-economic, institutional and historical reasons, these migrant workers become urban underclass and engage in dangerous, dirty and difficult jobs. Meanwhile, they suffer from discrimination in almost every aspect of city lives. Lacking of knowledge i
The study analyses anti-corruption measures employed by governments in Bangladesh through legal-enforcement and institutional approaches. The question was raised among scholars whether legal-institutional approaches alone are capable to tackle corruption in developing countries or fail to achieve the initiatives in controlling corruption. Success stories from few well-managed anti-corruption insti
Denna uppsats diskuterar, utifrån relevant teori inom narratologin, det filmiska förstapersonsberättandet och dess konstruktion. Med utgångspukt i en synkron studie av ett antal förstapersonsfilmer (Where the Truth Lies, Millennium Mambo, The New World, The Thin Red Line, The Brown Bunny, Eyes Wide Shut och L'Intrus) diskuteras vilka implikationer dessa filmer har för filmteori rörande just de
Den här uppsatsen handlar om turism och resande. Jag har valt att inrikta mig på storstadsturism och storstadsweekends i utlandet i min undersökning. Idag är storstadsturismen mycket stor, inte minst i Europa. Många turister väljer att åka på så kallade storstadsweekends, vilket innebär att man gör en kortare resa på några dagar till en storstad, ofta över en förlängd helg. Det handlar i de flesta
