The thesis is proposing a method to perceive the cinematic space as a body in motion. The foundation for such an experimental method is traced within the investigation of the movement in the study of the motion picture, as well as in a phenomenological approach to dance, and in selected theories from the continental philosophy of the 20th century. In doing so, the paper aims to widen, examine and

Migrating cells under various force fields in microfluidic devices has been used as a tool to study the cell properties. Cells respond to the same force field in different ways depending on their properties, resulting in different migration velocities and trajectories which are obtained by cell tracking. The cells that are to be tracked are typically labelled with fluorescent dyes to enhance the c

In a world where migration has dramatically increased over the last 30 years, migrant consumers have become an important market actor. When migrant consumers geographically relocate they potentially experience changes in their identity, while different factors influence their acculturation to the host culture. Consumer acculturation literature within Consumer Culture Theory has studied this topic

Denna studie gjordes för att få en förståelse för vikten av 12 vattenkällor som finns i Vomb biosfärområdet. För att göra det, genomfördes en ekosystemtjänstanalys som inkluderade de fyra följande typerna av ekosystemtjänster: försörjande, stödjande, reglerande och kulturella tjänster. Ekosystemtjänstanalysen gjordes med hjälp av indikatorer för varje tjänst. Ett slutresultat baserat på status förThis study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base

The ancient Kriegsraison doctrine awarded absolute predominance to the achievement of military advantages in armed conflicts and therefore granted the opportunity to secede from all restrictive laws of war. The doctrine was therefore formally condemned as abusive and inconsistent with modern International Humanitarian Law. Especially the contemporary military necessity principle is viewed as a fac

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of the Swedish state-owned company Systembolaget’s idea and message from 1970 to 2020 through advertising campaign material from each decade. The findings are then compared to Gösta Esping-Andersen’s welfare state model in Three worlds of Welfare Capitalism, changes in alcohol policy during that time period and the social marketing theory. To

Title: Inclusion, a symbolic capital This study aims to showcase, using a case study of the Modern Museum of Art in Malmö, in what ways state-funded museums are put in conflict with politically held ideals and art agenthood in the field of the arts. With the central theories deriving from Pierre Bourdieu, this study argues that the museum is an agent who is held to standards set by the art field a

This thesis aims to understand how gender euphoria is constructed by non-binary people, and how these experiences are embedded in ideas of masculinities and femininities. The theoretical point of departure involves the theorization of “doing gender” by West and Zimmerman, concepts from ethnomethodology inspired by Liberman, and finally “performative acts” by Butler. These theoretical points are re

Objective: Current study aimed to examine the mediating role of functional gastrointestinal symptoms in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and binge eating.

Results: The simple regression analysis revealed childhood maltreatment to be

Patientlagen 4:3 artikulerar hälso- och sjukvårdens skyldighet att fastställa barnets inställning till den planerade vården och tillmäta den betydelse utifrån barnets ålder och mognad. Detta kräver att barnet görs delaktig i den egna vården, vilket fastställs i artikel 12 i barnkonventionen. Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka vilka förutsättningar detta kräver på Centralsjukhuset Kristianst

Politisk utveckling sker konstant. Detta har lett till att gamla politiska konstellationer försvinner och nya föds. Politiska projekt som Alliansen och De rödgröna har syftet att samla politisk makt för att få politiska mandat och därmed makt i riksdagen. Eftersom Sverige idag har mer än åtta partier är det väldigt viktigt för de stora partierna att samla mindre partier kring sig för att öka chans

I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur bankanställda upplever och hanterar de förändringar som bankindustrin genomgått under de senaste decennierna. Denna studie har genomförts som en kvalitativ studie med en ontologisk utgångspunkt i det socialkonstruktionistiska. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts av bankanställda med mer än 20 års erfarenhet, och deras subjektiva upplevelser har anal

Climate change and hazard events pose an existential threat to human rights. Hazard events were traditionally viewed as ‘natural disasters’ which were beyond our control and the people caught up in them were unfortunate victims to the unstoppable force of nature. Disasters are not natural; we can choose to prevent them and assist vulnerable populations. This recognition has led to the development

This thesis is an exploration of gender bias in the treatment of chronic illnesses by analysing the relationship between gender, feminism, and ableism in regard to power relations within a human rights healthcare-focused framework. Through a combination of feminist theory and critical disability theory, this thesis aims to answer how gendered cycles of inequality are perpetuated within healthcare

Little academic research has been done in the field of energy and conflict with regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The aim of this thesis is to try to fill this gap by analysing the relationship of energy and conflict in this ongoing war. A further goal is to relate the findings back to the theoretical framework provided by Månsson (2014), in which the different roles that energy c

Over the past 200 years, the structure of forests in Sweden has changed drastically, with forestry becoming the dominant land use. This has led to the loss of primary forests, which has major impacts on different ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Primary forests are unique ecosystems that are untouched by humans and have been sequestering carbon for centuries.The effects of this shift
