Traveller of the Century (2009) by Andrés Neuman is a passionate love story that reflects 19th Century Europe and furthermore it constitutes a reinterpretation of the period by the author, in which he combines the classical novel with modern literary techniques. This essay analyzes the presence of translation in the story, interpreting it as a metaphor for love, and investigates its significance f
Studien ger en analys av kommunal arbetslöshet i Sverige. Syftet är att undersöka om arbetslöshet kan modelleras med en linjär regressionsmodell, eller om den kräver en utvidgad modell med en rumslig komponent. I detta syfte skattas en Durbinmodell – en modell som utvecklar den multipla linjära regressionen med rumsligt vägda variabler. Landet delas i fem regioner (Götaland, Norrland, Svealand, StThe study presents an analysis of municipal unemployment in Sweden. Its aim is to examine whether unemployment can be modeled using linear regression or re-quires an additional spatial component. To do this, a Durbin model – a model that extends multiple linear regression using spatially weighted variables – is employed. The country is divided into five regions (Götaland, Norrland, Svealand, Stock
Syfte: Att beskriva och analysera det dilemma som kan uppstå vid överföring av implicit kunskap vid en integrationsprocess där ett mindre företag med hög innovationsförmåga blir förvärvat av ett större internationellt företag. Slutsatser: Företag som vill få tillgång till implicit kunskap genom företags-förvärv måste göra ett val mellan integration och bevarande av det förvärvade företaget. Det up
Ecosystem services are a way to decrease cities ecological footprint as well as adapt to a changed climate in the future. Ecosystem services are fairly new as a concept and even though it has been used within urban planning in the past it wasn’t made popular until 2005 by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA). This study pinpoints what hinders municipalities to incorporate ecosystem services in
The goal is to construct a system that can predict and prevent failures on freight trains. As the resulting product is a proof of concept, the main focus is to show the capabilities of this concept. To predict and prevent failures, a system needs to be implemented with constant vibration measurement on every buggy along a train with up to 60 wagons. The challenges faced for solving this is the lac
Popular science summary The Role of Fungal Communities in the Lodgepole pine´s invasion Summary Belowground microbial interactions have an important effect on the performance of plant populations and the success of plant invasions. The introduced Lodgepole pine, for instance, can be presented with novel fungal mutualists in the introduced areas in comparison with their native ranges. These nove
In a survey, 91 people answered questions about their habits on the internet, with special focus on the behavioral climate and the respondents own thoughts on the develop- ment of the social milieu online. The answers from the survey highlights tendencies which are then investigated through participant observations in the online game League of Legends. I start off with the thought of investigating
Access to fresh water is essential for the lives of organisms and for human activities. However, with a growing population that strives after a higher standard of living, the pressure on already limited resources will rise. Lake Chad is one out of many diminishing lakes in the world where the call for action is urgent to prevent ecosystem degradation, famine, and outbreak of war. The lake has shru
I simulate the collision of satellite galaxies with the Milky Way and observe the effects that this has on the orbits of the globular cluster populations within both the Milky Way and the satellite galaxies. This is done in order to investigate whether some of the Milky Way's globular clusters could have been donated from satellite galaxies which have been tidally stripped, since it is believe
Barn med mild till svår hörselnedsättning och cochleaimplantat (CI) eller hörapparat (HA) uppvisar ofta nedsatt eller försenad utveckling inom språkliga områden. För korrekt och effektiv intervention är det viktigt att kartlägga vilka språkliga förmågor som är nedsatta samt vilka samband som finns mellan dessa. I föreliggande studie granskas taltydlighet, meningsförståelse (testad med Test for Rec
De mänskliga rättigheterna yrkar på universella rättigheter för alla världens människor. Dessa rättigheter bör överordna kulturella variationer som i sin tur bör ignoreras till förmån för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Således är appliceringen av de mänskliga rättigheterna inte så enkel som det till synes verkar då verkligheten skiljer sig från teoretiska antagande. Finns det universella handlingar s
Denna uppsats är en redaktionskritisk analys av den relation mellan Jesus och Johannes döparen som Matteus skapar i sin framställning av Jesu dop. Som en redaktionskritisk analys bygger den vidare på tidigare forskning av Günther Bornkamm, John P. Meier och Walter Wink. Den redaktionskritiska ger vid handen att denna relation inte är ett lokalt fenomen begränsat till Matt 3:13-17, utan att relatio
Popular science The carbon balance of the forest ecosystems is determined by the uptake and release of carbon. Forests take up carbon dioxide (CO2) by photosynthesis and release by respiration. One part of the assimilated carbon is respired back to the atmosphere by vegetation. The other part is respired by soil microbes which decompose organic material in soil. The microbial respiration is contro
Uppsatsen diskuterar utifrån feministisk och postkolonial teori hur det rasifierade moderskapet gestaltas i de två diktsviterna Brytningen och Vistvit.
The stimulus for this essay was given by the fact that life expectancy in certain countries started to increase long before the development of modern medicine. Having as a principal axis the so called „urban penalty‟, the analysis was limited in two port cities; Glasgow and Malmö. Data on crude, age-specific and disease-specific mortality were used over the period 1800-1914 in order to identify th
Huvudsyftet med studien var att undersöka om kreativitet påverkas av en vanlig miljöaspekt, irrelevant bakgrundsljud. Kreativitetstestet, “TCT-DP”, användes för att betrakta kreativitet från ett brett och gestaltorienterat perspektiv. Deltagarna var 83 studenter som testades under två olika förhållanden, med och utan bakgrundsljud. Resultatet från ett t-test för oberoende grupper visade att experiThe main focus of the study was to investigate the relationship between irrelevant background sound and creativity. A creativity test which intends to measure creativity in a gestalt-oriented and broad way, “TCT-DP”, was used. The participants, 83 students, were tested under two different conditions, one with and one without bakground sound. The results from using a t-test for independent samples
Unprecedented global challenges demand all-encompassing modification of societal realms to ensure life support functions and human development. In the absence of adequate responses to climate change at a global level and the need for place-based adaptation, local governments are gaining increasing attention to govern and implement solution options to foster sustainability transitions. In this cont
The basis of this study lies in implementing Information systems (IS) and the related issue of user resistance. An IS-implementation can be a challenging process and there are numerous pitfalls. One of these pitfalls is the emergence of user resistance, and previous research indicates the management of user resistance can be affected by contextual factors of the IS-implementation. The purpose of t
Senare forskning kring fysisk aktivitet och träning visar en klar bild av dess positiva effekter på såväl kropp som sinne. Trots detta är en stor del av befolkningen fast i en stillasittande vardag. Denna studie har undersökt faktorer som ligger bakom ens motivation att träna. Denna uppsats har med hjälp av Expectancy-Value-teorin undersökt vilka träningsrelaterade mål som urvalet värderar högt ocRecent research on physical activity and exercise reveals a clear picture of its positive effects on both body and mind. Despite this, a large part of the population is stuck in a sedentary lifestyle. This study has examined factors behind one’s motivation to exercise. By using the Expectancy-Value Theory we’ve examined which exercise-related goals people value most, and to what degree they think
