The name dispute between Greece and North Macedonia was a 27-year-long diplomatic battle over the name of the latter state. In this thesis, a narrative analysis is applied to discern each state's official conflict narrative during the period 2008–2020 in order to examine (1) how they differ from each other, (2) how they develop over time and (3) how they affect the conflict itself. Building on

Humans use their senses to understand and analyse the world. For architectural experiences, sight, touch, hearing, smell and balance ought to be the most important. Among architects, the vocabulary, documentation and methods used when planning, designing and presenting a project are however mainly visual. The aim with this project has been to design a building, starting with the acoustics. Ques

The purpose of my study was to illustrate the concept of dandelion children by using an adult's description of her childhood. I wanted my study to focus on detailed descriptions of situations, events and feelings; therefore I used a qualitative approach and based my study on the autobiographies of three dandelion children. The questions on which I based my study are: - Are there common themes

Computer simulation and modelling was used to simulate a real time environment in preparative chromatography to evaluate the performance of three different strategies for pooling control for different levels of robustness. The pooling problem was based around a separation case where three different insulin species were to be separated while disturbances to the modulators potassium chloride, ethano

To meet Sweden’s national environmental goal of 70% emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 2010 from domestic transport, electrification is considered key. However, as more chargeable vehicles are integrated into the market, shortage of capacity for charging infrastructure may arise. To remedy this, flexibility within charging infrastructure is proposed. The aim for this thesis is to estimate the

Vi har med Bacchis WPR-metod undersökt de diskursiva förändringarna kring migration i Moderaternas valmanifest och samarbetsdokument i 2014 och 2022. Uppsatsen utgår från ett poststrukturellt perspektiv, och tar avstamp i Foucaults subjektbegrepp samt Laclau och Mouffes diskursteori. Uppsatsen finner att migration representeras som olika problem; till en början ses det mer som ett arbetsmarknadspr

Judith Butler’s gender theory examines gender as a social construct that is created and reproduced by societal structures. Stuart Hall’s representation theory also centers around this idea, but rather concerning how media images both create and are created by a historical, cultural and political context and therefore changes and reproduces a specific way of viewing our society. This thesis, then,

I den här uppsatsen lyfts sex arbetskraftsinvandrande kvinnors historier om emigrationen till Sverige upp. Kvinnornas berättelser om etableringen, integrationsproblemen, inträdet på arbetsmarknaden samt vad flytten har betytt för dem analyseras med hjälp av socialpsykologiska teorier om identitet, marginalisering, ojämlikhet samt med hjälp av genusteorier. Av intervjuerna framgår att kvinnorna va

Kvaliteten på kliniska bilder har stor betydelse för korrekt medicinsk diagnostik. I konventionella morfologiska MR-bilder är signalen normalt relativt hög i förhållande till bruset. Vissa nya MR-metoder för s.k. funktionsdiagnostik bygger emellertid på en avsiktlig degradering av signalen för att vissa kvantitativa parametrar skall kunna beräknas. I sådana studier kan följaktligen signal-till-bru

Background: Osteoclasts have been strongly implicated in osteoarthritic cartilage degradation, at least indirectly via bone resorption, and have been shown to degrade cartilage in vitro. The osteoclast resorption processes required to degrade subchondral bone and cartilage-the remodeling of which is important in the osteoarthritic disease process-have not been previously described, although cathep

Popular Abstract in Swedish Richard Hughes (1900-1976) blev mycket känd genom sin debutroman A High Wind in Jamaica, 1929. Han förhastade sig inte med nästa roman, In Hazard; den kom först 1938. Intervallerna blev allt längre. The Fox in the Attic från 1961 inledde hans romancykel The Human Predicament, och fortsättningen kom med The Wooden Shepherdess 1973. Av en planerad tredje del publicerades The two last novels by Richard Hughes (1900-1976), the first in his planned The Human Predicament series, are partly set in Germany in the years between the First and the Second World War. Much of the action in The Fox in the Attic (1961) takes part in and around Munich, culminating in a fictional reconstruction of the so-called Hitler Putsch on November 8-9, 1923, the future dictator's aborted ea

Abstract in French Au-delà du montage – la rhétorique du cinéma Contrairement à d'autres types d'images plus statiques, le film, avec son fort "effet de réalité", semble résister à une explication inspirée d'un modèle rhétorique. Même du point de vue d'une rhétorique "écologique", telle que la nôtre, qui reconnaît une rupture de normes déjà dans les transformations homogènes, le film peut facilem

Abstract Background and ObjectiveFluorescence techniques can provide powerful noninvasive means for medical diagnosis, based on the detection of either endogenous or exogenous fluorophores. The fluorescence of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) has already shown promise for the diagnosis of tumors. The aim of the study was to investigate the localization of skin tumors a

A 1561-year tree-ring width (TRW) chronology covering the period 2668–1108 BC (4617–3057 BP) has been developed from 159 moisture-sensitive peatland pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) sampled at Åbuamossen, southern Sweden. Tree population dynamics and annual growth responses of the trees were shown to reflect and give absolute age to regional hydro-climatological changes. The main wet-shifts recorded in

The focus has recently been directed towards the engine out soot from Diesel engines. Running an engine in PPC (Partially Premixed Combustion) mode has a proven tendency of reducing these emissions significantly. In addition to combustion strategy, several studies have suggested that using alcohol fuels aid in reducing soot emissions to ultra-low levels. This study analyzes and compares the charac
