Ett uråldrigt hus med murkna tegelstenar som är täckta med mossa träder fram ur mörkret. Murgrönan sträcker sig över fasaden och döljer de tomma fönstren. Ett litet torn med spetsiga spiror höjer sig över taket och bryter byggnadens redan bristande proportioner. Ett stenvalv inramar en massiv träport med excentriska inristningar och förskräckliga maskaroner. Dörrens groteska portklappar är orörda.The aim of this thesis is to analyse the motif of the haunted house in Aurora Ljungstedt’s Hin Ondes hus (1853) and Mats Strandberg’s Hemmet (2017). In order to compare the motif in these two Swedish novels, Edgar Allan Poe’s short horror story “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839), which works as a frame for my comparative study. In this thesis, I try to analyse and interpret and Hin Ondes hus

Sustainable development requires a change of values, norms, and capabilities within individuals and societies, and education is a crucial means to achieve these goals. However, transformation is not a simple task as dominant structures due to path-dependency and lock-in processes resist change, put pressure on innovative approaches, and hinder their potential for change. Thus the question is how s

We extend our earlier work on the massive O(N) non-linear sigma model to other observables. We derive expressions at leading order in the large N expansion at all orders in the loop expansion for the decay constant, vacuum expectation value, meson meson scattering and the scalar and vector form factors. This is done using cactus diagram resummation using a generalized gap equation and other recurs

The question of the Palestine refugees has been an issue to the United Nations’ General Assembly (UNGA) ever since its creation in 1948, and it has played an immense role in the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Everyone involved wants to find a solution to the problem, but 65 years on, the issue is as complex as it has ever been. The question of which actor have the main human rights responsibility for

This thesis is about the licensing system of the Creative Commons discussed from the perspective of the theory of the commons mostly as formulated by Elinor Ostrom. The work is started by describing the concepts and theory of common pool resources and regime of the commons for production and distribution of these resources. The main characteristics for successful traditional commons – efficiency,

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att öka kunskapen om socioekonomiska faktorers påverkan på barns språkliga förmåga genom att jämföra narrativer producerade av barn vars vårdnadshavare hade olika utbildningsnivå. Metod: Deltagarna i studien var 64 en- och flerspråkiga barn. Inspelningar av deltagarnas produktion av svenska narrativer till bildserier från Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives

Ett mycket omdiskuterat fenomen i svensk doktrin är när aktieägare åläggs ett ansvar för aktiebolagets förpliktelser trots ansvarsbegränsningen i 1 kap. 3§ ABL. Detta fenomen har kommit att kallas för ansvarsgenombrott. I två nyligen avkunnade hovrättsdomar har ansvarsgenombrott använts för att motivera ett sådant genombrott av 1 kap. 3§ ABL. Båda rättsfallen behandlade bolag vars enda syfte var

Bredäng, a housing area in southwest Stockholm, was built between 1963 and 1965 as part of The Million Program, a Swedish government program to fix the housing shortage in the country. Bredäng is characterized by its green and blue qualities, but also by its many parking lots, poor public spaces, monotone architecture and storm water issues. Today, the housing shortage is once again an issue, esp

This thesis takes on the distribution of influence at the local level of the Church of Sweden from a legitimacy theory perspective. It is argued that the high levels of member resignation could be viewed as a manifested lack of confidence due to the failing legitimacy of the Church of Sweden. In order to continue the academic discussion on the democratic relation between the Church and its members

Denna undersökning har med hjälpt av investeringsstrategin Dogs of the Dow testat om det går att uppnå en riskjusterad överavkastning på Storbritanniens aktiemarknad under perioden 2002–2017. Detta trots att den effektiva marknadshypotesen motsätter sig överavkastning på aktiemarknaden. Undersökningen har skett på Storbritanniens marknad med Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) som marknads- och

This thesis argues for the significance of worry in Mark Haddon’s A Spot of Bother (2006) and The Red House (2012). All of Haddon’s novels can be said to be a study of the human consciousness, containing a variety of worried characters, but it is notable that worry is most predominantly present in the two novels that centre around complex family dynamics. For this reason, these two novels will be

Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågan om det finns en rätt för stater att ta till extraterritoriellt våld mot icke-statliga aktörer, och om så ja, under vilka förutsättningar. Omvärldens intresse för frågan växte sig starkt i och med terroristattackerna mot USA den 11 september 2001. För att försöka besvara frågan tittar jag på FN-stadgan och den internationella sedvanerätten. FN-stadgan innehållerThis essay addresses the issue of states extraterritorial use of force against non-state actors. If concluded that such a right exists, the essay will continue to examine under which conditions. Since 9/11 states have been eager to adress the issue of wether they are allowed to use force against non-state actors, who act from another state’s territory. To be able to answer this question I have loo

This paper gives insight into the historical research of the academic Ronny Ambjörnsson and his work in the swedish field of history of ideas. Applying an agent perspective it shows how Ambjörnsson constructed and aimed to show how an history of ideas that involves the broader communities of history, workers and farmers that constitutes ”the people”, could be done. The paper shows that Ambjörnsson

Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o

I februari 2017 mottog Bredbandsbolaget ett föreläggande om förbud avseende hemsidorna The Pirate Bay och Swefilmer. Under tre års tid måste Bredbandsbolaget nu blockera dessa hemsidor för deras kunder. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att utreda gällande rätt för förbudsföreläggande mot internetoperatörer. Den svenska bestämmelsen om förbudsföreläggande inom upphovsrätten tillkom genom införlThe ISP known as ‘Bredbandsbolaget’ received a prohibitory order in February 2017 regarding the illicit websites ‘The Pirate Bay’ and ‘Swefilmer’. For the duration of three years, Bredbandsbolaget are now required to block these websites for their customers. The purpose of this thesis is to research what the established law is regarding prohibitory orders issued at ISP’s. The regulation on prohi

In crisis-hit Greece, there have been an unprecedented rise of grassroots self-help initiatives for the last three to four years, and the whole phenomenon has come to be known as the quest for social and solidarity economy. With the consolidation of political and economic power in today’s capitalist market economy, the social and solidarity movement in Greece has been seeking for a way forward to

About the various roles of the animals featured in Marlen Haushofer's 1963 "The Wall" ("Die Wand").

I denna uppsats undersöker jag Scanlons värdeteori, med fokus på hans syn på intrinsikalt värde, och då framför allt frågan huruvida människolivet kan sägas ha intrinsikalt värde. Genom att först grundligt presentera Scanlons värdeteori – hans hänskjutande redogörelse för värde (eng. Buck-Passing) - och sedan släppa fram kritiska röster, resonerar jag mig fram till en grund att stå på i denna värd

The immigrants from China have generally taken over European immigrants to play important role in the North America since 1960s. Based on the human capital theory and neoclassical economic theory, this thesis examines the characteristics of Chinese immigrants who respectively arrived at the United States and Canada since 1990 (cohort 1990-1997 and cohort 1998- 2000). The data is coming from the 20
