Figurative language can be approached in several ways. This essay examines the use of similes in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. All similes in the novel were collected and divided into categories based on the vehicle used. The largest categories that I have identified, I have termed “Nature and its forces”, “Concrete objects” and “Abstractions”. The similes are further divided into sub-categories b
This study intends to give a further understanding of the phenomenon of influencers, and how the structures of social media affect young women on a daily basis. With empirical data gathered by netnographic observations and in person interviews I hope to give an understanding of the experienced emotions of interactions with social media influencers on Instagram. Presenting theories of celebrity, id
As authorities, the universities are subject to the principle of access to official documents. Records generated during the research process are thus to be regarded as official documents, even though there are disputes over exactly when they are to be considered as such. Scientists are, to various degrees, dependent of access to earlier research data, which may have been collected during research
We use energy in almost every aspect of our lives. Yet, often, we do not know the source of electricity that powers our homes or heats our food. In this episode, we explore energy communities as a form of decentralised and democratic energy production. Community energy sees people coming together to take control of their energy needs, by finding alternative ways to organise and govern the energy sWe use energy in almost every aspect of our lives.

This paper examines long-run and short-term dynamics of real house prices in Sweden from the first quarter in 1986 to the last quarter in 2017. To understand this, multivariate co-integration and error correction modelling approach are used. More specifically, this paper examines whether fundamental factors of demand and supply can explain the real house price development in Sweden. Evidence shows
This essay investigates if NATO’s humanitarian intervention in Kosovo 1999 can be justified. To answer this question we use values like sovereignty, nonintervention, human rights and perspectives that are essential to the question. The perspectives used are two normative ethical perspectives and the Just War theory, which has some criteria’s for going to war and how war should be conducted. By usi
One important part of democratic consolidation is the institutionalisation of the party system and parties as they are central in that process. Party system institutionalisation in Africa has been a growing subject the last 20 years. In this paper I will present my theory and my findings from interviews with 24 interviewees including politicians, journalists and academia in Malawi during April and
This study aims to investigate how the former British colonies, Nigeria and Sierra Leone have developed after gaining independence and which factors have played the most significant role in their economic growth. The two countries have experienced different economic growth which justifies the purpose of the study. This will be conducted using a 'Most Similar Design System'. The goal of thi
Many surveillance applications could benefit from the use of stereo cam- eras for depth perception. While state-of-the-art methods provide high quality scene depth information, many of the methods are very time consuming and not suitable for real-time usage in limited embedded systems. This study was conducted to examine stereo correlation methods to find a suitable algorithm for real-time or near
During the beginning of the 1990’s the world witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequently the end of the Cold War. This gigantic change within the international system had large ramifications on how states interacted with each other. Within this context, Sweden had a unique position due to its identity of non-alignment combined with an interest for participation in international pea
