During the last decades, green parties have gone from small protest parties with an origin in the new social movements to governmental participants. Existing research has been done on how these changes have affected their internal organization, but none have been done on how it affects their policy. With a starting-point in Mogens N. Pedersen “party lifespan approach” this study aims to answer thi

Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the re

Because gender inequalities in the private sphere have for consequences the development of a second-class citizenship for women, aiming for gender equality in the private sphere is fundamental in order to tend towards equality in the society as a whole. Yet, it is a complex goal to reach. Indeed, family policies are only a small part of a system where social, economic and cultural factors are inte

Den här kandidatuppsatsen analyserar EU:s CSR-policy utifrån ett governmentalitetsperspektiv. I en grundläggande bemärkelse är företags sociala ansvar, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), om att styra någons beteende att agera ansvarsfullt. Ett liknande perspektiv på styrning introducerades av Michel Foucault som governmentalitet och har senare vidareutvecklats av ett antal teoretiker. I synnerThis Bachelor's thesis analysis EU CSR policy from a perspective of governmen-tality. In a basic sense, Corporate Social Responsibility is about governing one’s behaviour to act responsible. A similar perspective on governing was introduced by Michel Foucault as governmentality, and has later developed by other scholars. In particular, the neoliberal system for governing has been treated as a

Lithuania like other Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries has undergone major changes from the communist socio-economic order to the system based on democratic capitalism. This shift towards market economy and the collapse of communist ideology were also reflected in higher education (HE) reforms. Since political parties are the main actors in modern democracies, partisan politics could in

As the general concern about the environment grows citizens find new ways to engage in practices that try to counter unsustainable practices. Often these practices are off the beaten political path and stand for newer methods to effectuate change on small or larger scales. This thesis looks at one of the newer forms of engagement, namely at individuals in anti food waste groups on the social netwo

Social platforms on the internet become increasingly influential as a source of information and spreading of ideas for large masses. YouTube enables individuals to create and publish content for free and gather audiences all over the world. Some people use this opportunity to advocate socio-political ideas on a larger scale than would otherwise be possible. This study will focus on the topic of ge

Föreliggande uppsats behandlar synen på första världskriget i ett antal konservativa svenska dagstidningar och tidskrifter. Syftet är att undersöka modernitetskritikens roll i de tolkningar av kriget som kom till uttryck i detta sammanhang. Uppsatsens frågeställning tar avstamp i ett tämligen omfattande internationellt forskningsläge, i vilket den anmärkningsvärt höga grad av entusiasm som många eThis thesis examines how the First World War was viewed and interpreted in a number of conservative Swedish newspapers and periodicals. More specifically, the aim is to analyze the role that the critique of modernity had in these interpretations. I draw on an extensive range of international historical research on how the war was interpreted by intellectuals in the belligerent countries. In many o

Musikbranchen och högre musikutbildningar är ojämställda i förhållande till kön. Syftet med denna undersökning är att ta reda på hur musiklärare kan jobba för att ge pojkar och flickor samma möjligheter att utvecklas musikaliskt. Metoden som använts är kvalitativ forskningsintervju. Intervjuerna visade att om instrumentfördelningen ska bli jämställd ur ett könsperspektiv behöver en som lärare styrThe music business and higher music educations are uneven in relation to gender. The purpose with this study is to find out how music teachers can work to create an education where all students have the same opportunities to learn and evolve. The method used is qualitative research interview. The interviews showed that if the instrument distribution in a class is to be equal by gender, the teacher

Today, as our cities are becoming increasingly dense - the role of internal spaces are rising as ever-more important in defining urbanity. And in a moment in which our private lives have become exposed and controlled in almost every aspect, the interior has become the eminent space of refuge, providing anonymity and freedom. In Is the New Out offers a radical reexamination of the interior as the l

Waste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls. A good waste management is therefore of most importance which sometimes can be difficult to achieve. The waste management is particularly difDin semester bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen Avfall är ett växande globalt miljöproblem och en aspekt som orsakar svårigheter är deponering av matavfall som är den tredje största utsläppskällan av metangas i världen.

This study examines how the discourses from the British debate on the French burkini bans from 2016, portrayed Muslim women who cover. 13 articles from The Times, The Guardian, and The Telegraph covering the period of March to June 2016 were selected, and through a discourse analysis it was examined which chains of equivalence were constructed in relation to the nodal point ‘burqini’. With an unde

Traffic is increasing in the cities and most of the main roads are not designed for today's traffic, this creates environmental problems like noise and air pollution. Road users choose other roads that are not intended for through traffic, leading to congestion and dense traffic. The high traffic volume destroys housing environments and makes it unsafe and unpleasant to be out, especially for

This report issues traffic safety on a delimited route of Kristian II:s väg and Margretetorpsvägen in Ängelholm, mainly from a speed perspective. The speed of motor vehicles has a very big impact on the collision violence caused by an accident primarily between motor vehicles and unprotected road users. Speed measurements have been made along the route to get an idea of the speed. The high-speed v

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka tankar, metoder och idéer som tvåämneslärare i musik och engelska besitter kring-, samt hur de ställer sig till ämnesintegrering av dessa två ämnen. Studien, som är fokuserad kring grundskolan undersöker även hur lärarna anser att ovanstående påverkar elevernas lärande. För att nå svar på dessa frågor utfördes kvalitativa intervjuer med tre yrkesverksamThe overall aim of this study is to dig deeper into the field of subject integration in music and English to gain practical and theoretical knowledge about what effects there are on student learning in that context. Thus, this study investigates the field of music- and English subject integration specifically focusing on primary and secondary school. I have conducted qualitative interviews with th

I detta exjobb skapades ett arbetsförlopp för avluftning och tvättprocess av den nya avluftaren så att både avluftnings- och tvättprocessen startades och kördes automatiskt med en enda ”start” knapp.The goal of this study was to investigate if a new deaeration machine was more efficient than the current deaeration machine used at Akzo Nobel. The results showed that the deaeration of the black tinter with the new machine went successful with less than 2 % air content in the tinter. This tinter was only deaerated with the new machine and the efficiency between the new and current machine could

Car sharing as an idea challenges the prevailing mobility regime in the global north that has been built around private vehicle ownership. Well established regimes such as this, over time generate norms and collect actors that become dependent on the private car as the dominant form of mobility. These norms and actors, whose very existence is at times contingent on upholding the current socio-tech

Kan man låta datorn bestämma den säkraste designen för en bil? och kommer en ökning av temperaturen i det använda materialet att påverka denna design? I examensarbetet ”Thermoplasticity in topology optimization based on finite strain” undersöks hur den genererade temperaturen vid en snabb och stor ihoptryckning av en struktur påverkar den design som ̈är bäst på att absorbera energi vid t.ex. en krA thermoplastic finite strain model is used to model heat generation due to plastic work. Isotropic hardening is used, where the mechanical dissipation acts as heat source in the heat equation. The multiplicative split of the deformation gradient makes it possible to separate plastic and elastic effects. The model is solved by using the Newmark time integration scheme with the finite element metho
