Student, daughter and prostitute - prostituted women creating their identeties online This study aims to understand how identity and the construction of identity occurs, the basis being online blogs written by women who sell, or have sold sexual favours. It aims to create an understanding of how women in their blogs define sexwork and define their identeties as “women who sell sex”. Sweden was th
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka lovligheten för handelsåtgärder vid gränsen, utförda som ett led i bekämpandet av klimatförändringar, mot bakgrund av rådande WTO-rätt. Tre sammanknutna infallsvinklar har undersökts i syfte att undersöka denna lovlighet. Inledningsvis har en översikt över rådande WTO-rätt genomförts för att utröna dess potentialla inverkan på klimatmotiverade handelsåtgäThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the permissibility of border trade measures undertaken with a climate change rationale under the current regulatory environment of the WTO. Three interconnected angles regarding such permissibility have been examined. An overview was made of the current WTO regulation with regards to its potential impact on climate motivated border measures. This section fo
The future of EU lies in the SEE or to rephrase, the future of the SEE lies in the EU. This is considered to be the case as the SEE countries that are not yet EU-members have been promised future membership and are therefore considered the next potential EU members. As this scenario lies in the future of an EU expansion an interest of what lies in the past of these two regions rises. This interest
Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is a new X-ray modality that reconstructs the breast volume in many slices instead of, as in mammography, showing a single 2D projection of the breast. The slice thickness is typically 1 mm for clinically used BT-units. In screening the review of breast images with BT takes two to four times longer than the review of mammography images. In an effort to reduce the review t
År 2000 satte den Europeiska Unionen ett strategiskt mål att bli en större, mer konkurrenskraftig ekonomisk region med stark tillväxt för ekonomi och arbetskraft. En viktig komponent i att nå detta mål är att utveckla den inre marknaden och stödja den fria rörligheten för varor, kapital, tjänster och personer inom den Europeiska Unionen. Kommissionen har identifierat skillnader i Medlemsstaternas In 2000, the European Union set out the strategic goal to become a more competitive, stronger economic region with sustainable growth in terms of economy and jobs. An important part in achieving this goal is the complete establishment of the internal market to fully promote freedom of movement of goods, capital, services and people within the European Union. The Commission has identified diversity
By the mid-19th century, syphilis had been established for several hundred years as a disease associated with immorality, from which the poor in particular suffered. Although hospitals for the treatment of venereal diseases existed in most European countries, there would be no cure for another hundred years, and physicians battled unsuccessfully against disfigurement and death. The lock hospital i
We were interested in catalogers as human beings and in their reaction to a changed working situation. In the light of the changes which have been made at the libraries during the nineties, we investigated why the very group catalogers reacted with an intense and engaged open debate at the same time as librarians with special competence didn t seem to react in this way. The open debate about the c
Librarians like to think that libraries contribute substantially to the progress of research. However, libraries still seem to have serious problems getting integrated in their parent organization on equal terms with other parts of that organization. The degree of integration of the library is thus the main topic of this thesis and the purpose is to examine how the interaction between librarians a
Product Space methodology introduced in 2007 initiated a new perspective in diversification studies. It finds out stylized facts that generally developed countries mainly export core product (metal, machinery, chemicals), while developing countries mainly export periphery products (agriculture, primary goods). Besides, these two types of products have very low proximity. They do not share many com
Organizational strategists are working on their company’s ability to absorb and transfer knowledge between organizational units, their so-called absorptive capacity, to better react to environmental changes and, hence, strengthen their sustainable competitive advantage. In particular, the sharing of tacit know-how is considered to be difficult because it is contextual and experience-based, and, th
This empirical study focuses on the SIDA-sponsored program The Child Rights, Classroom and School Management (CRCSM) –program, resting upon the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). This study has been concerned with the perceptions of the contents, implementation as well as the effect of the CRCSM-program in Nakaseke Primary Teachers’ College, Uganda. The research questions are stratified
Big Data has experienced recent developments in the field of Business Intelligence and has captured the increasing interest of enterprises who are trying to seize its potential. More and more companies, operating in industries ranging from insurance to the entertainment industry, are moving forward with the adoption of Big Data, in an attempt to gain significant benefits, such as customer insight,
I en intervju med publicisten Ken Tyler så beskrev den amerikanska efterkrigskonstnären och abstraktionisten Helen Frankenthaler uppfinnarskapet som en regellös aktivitet: “Så föds konsten, på det sättet sker genombrott. Bryt mot reglerna eller ignorera dem. Det är vad uppfinnarskap handlar om.” Jämfört med juridikens precisa och noggranna metodik så framstår uppfinnandets skapande metod något anThe U.S. painter Helen Frankenthaler, a behemoth of post-war American abstractionist painting, once described the act of inventing as an activity without rules. ”This is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about”, she is quoted saying in a 1994 interview with legendary publisher Ken Tyler. In contrast with the precise and
PEJL PÅ RASTANDE FLYTTFÅGLAR Varje vår och höst passeras Falsterbo av miljontals flyttfåglar. Många mellanlandar här för att fylla på sina bränsledepåer och vila upp sig inför nästa etapp på resan. Frågor som är intressanta inom flyttfågelforskningen är bland annat hur länge fåglarna rastar och om längden på vistelsen är kopplad till art, ålder, kön, fettreserver eller flyttningsstrategi (i det hABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine autumnal stopover strategies of migratory passerines, with the main focus on stopover duration, departure time and departure direction in relation to biometrics (age, sex and fat reserves), different migratory strategies (long, short-to-medium and partial migration) and weather conditions. During the autumn migration season of 2010, in conjunction wi
Bullberget är beläget i västra Dalarna i Lima socken. Huvudbergarten utgörs av Öjediabas, som här är genomslagen av en horisontell diabasgång tillhörande samma generation som den i Dalarna rikligt förekommande Åsbydiabasen. Denna diabasgång uppvisar en steglös övergång från en Si02-halt på 54% till 73%. Även bergartens makroskopiska utseende förändras helt utan synliga kontakter. Bergarterna har tThe Bullberget hill is situated in the Lima parish of the Dalarna province in western Sweden. The major rock forming the hill is Öje basalt. This is cut by a dolerite sill belonging to the same generation as the Åsby dolerite, which is common in the province. The sill displays a continuos transition from a SiO2-content of 54% to 73%. No lithological boundaries have been found between the various r
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I det svenska urberget finns stora mängder av granit och andra magmatiska bergarter. Dessa magmatiska bergarter förekommer i både deformerade och odeformerade varianter. Majoriteten av de magmatiska bergarterna anses ha bildats genom att en oceanplatta har glidit ned under en kontinentplatta med hjälp av spridningsprocesser vid oceanryggarna. Oceanplattan smälteFine grained inclusions in the 1578 Ma Nordingrå rapakivi massif have been studied with respect to petrography, geochemistry and zircon age in order to see whether they belong to the same intrusion event as the granite, and whether they are different in mineral compositions or geochemical characteristics compared to the host granite. Such differences could indicate that fractionation processes hav
The aim of this study was to investigate and gain a deeper understanding of how the staff at the youth clinic approaches, and might influence, participation and responsibility as regards the girl and boy respectively in the process that follows when an unplanned pregnancy has been verified. Qualitative interviews were carried out with staff at five youth clinics in Skåne. All staff did routinely w
The work presented in this thesis is motivated by the need to reliably operate a compression-ignition engine in a partially premixed combustion (PPC) mode. Partially premixed combustion is a low temperature combustion concept, where the ignition delay is prolonged to enhance fuel-air mixing in the combustion chamber before the start of combustion. A premixed combustion process, in combination with
The main objective of this study is to introduce the new Sandvik’s production cost-model within Crushing & Screening (C&S) technology. So far, there have been different ways of determining different production costs in the industry, however, the previously published and presented methods have not been very efficient in calculating the costs per product and metric ton. Accordingly, the curr
This thesis describes the physical chemistry of softwood kraft lignin in aqueous alkaline solutions. Both fundamental and applicational aspects are discussed. Kraft lignin originates either from pulp fibres or from black liquor produced by kraft cooking. In wood, the lignin is an anionic macromolecular colloid of relatively high molecular mass that is gradually depolymerised under the kraft cook.
