This dissertation examines discourses of mental illness and sadness in women’s media culture during 2008-2018. It shows that there was an increase in conversations around mental illness in popular culture and on social media from 2015 and onwards. To understand what this increase looked like I examined three sites – women’s magazines, female celebrities, and social media – as purveyors of scripts
En katalysator är en substans som kan snabba på en kemisk reaktion utan attsjälv förbrukas. Katalysatorer används vanligen i kemisk produktion och i bilarsförbränningsmotorer (för att ta bort tex CO och NO). För att optimera katalysatornoch utveckla andra och bättre katalysatorer i framtiden så behöver vi vetahur katalysatorn fungerar på atomär nivå. Katalysatorer i industrin är komplexavilket görA catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Catalysts are crucial for chemical production industries, where about 90% of all chemicals are produced using catalysts. They are also used for exhaust gas cleaning, for instance in cars, where CO and unburned fuels are oxidized to CO2 and NOx is reduced to N2. To optimize catalysts, and deve
ObjectivesTo examine whether different vertical drop jump (VDJ) landing depth (small versus deep) and stance width (wide versus narrow) may alter movement biomechanics in female recreational athletes. The purpose was also to identify whether leg muscle strength is a predictive factor for knee control during a VDJ.DesignCross-sectional.SettingBiomechanics laboratory. Participants: Eighteen women ag
From the end of the nineteenth century and one hundred years onward, home sewing was an important part of many women’s duties, but it was also a pleasure, something that existed parallel with the emerging mass-produced ready-to-wear industry. The paper patterns used for home dressmaking were often sold and distributed through women’s magazines. These pattern sections were both a kind of reader serFrom the end of the nineteenth century and one hundred years onward, home sewing was an important part of many women’s duties, but it was also a pleasure, something that existed parallel with the emerging mass-produced ready-to-wear industry.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether communicating the liabilities of newness can justify young ventures’ offshoring decisions to such an extent that it moderates country-of-origin (COO) effects. We adjust the established concept of COO effects to the entrepreneurial context and therefore include the country of ownership (CO) instead of the country of design (CD) next to the commonly us
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how manufacturing firms use cost drivers and if any factors affect manufacturing firms’ cost driver approach. Theoretical Perspective: The thesis theoretical perspective concentrates on explaining the concept of cost drivers, reviewing existing empirical findings and identification of factors which could affect manufacturing company´s approach
The paper focuses on three key factors in WTI crude oil futures market: Convenience yield, inventory level and price volatility. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the relation between those three key factors and analyze how those key factors will affect the market trading behaviors.

The concept of the “Security-Development Nexus” illustrates a friction between two wellestablished norms that constitutes the EU's normative identity in external relations. A normative conflict where EU's vision of forming a strategic and collective international security policy has threatened its commitment to international development policy and its agenda to combat global poverty.

Sverige av gammal tradition ett starkt skydd för tryck- och yttrandefrihet. En viktig del av dessa lagars skyddsområde utgörs av meddelarrätten. Meddelarrätten möjliggör att enskilda personer kan lämna uppgifter för publicering i de grundlagsskyddade medierna i hög utsträckning utan straffansvar eller andra sociala obehag. Med en strikt tillämpning av meddelarrätten kan polisen utlämna sekretessbeSweden has a long and strong tradition of protecting the freedom of press and freedom of expression. One important part of the Freedom of the Press Act constitutes the rules on whistle-blower protection. These rules allow people, even those working in the public service, to leak information to the press without criminal responsibility. The whistle-blower protection is very far reaching and protect
This thesis analyses relationships between the litterfall components needles, twigs, flowers, fruits, and total litterfall and climate variables (wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation) in a coniferous forest located in southern Sweden. Needles, twigs, and total litterfall were positively correlated with daily average as well as maximum wind speed, whereas negatively cor

Plant-pollinator interactions are considered one of the primary factors driving the large diversity in floral traits. Adaptive floral trait diversification occurs when different pollinators show preference for different floral phenotypes imposing selection on, and potentially generating local adaptation, of floral traits in populations that interact with different insect communities. Plants in gen
The coronavirus was first detected in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly around the world. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a pandemic. This study examines the impact between the COVID-19 pandemic and Swedish citizens' trust in the state and government agencies.

In an attempt to bridge the gap between the multitude of individuals among consumers and the relatively few varieties of product design intended to suit these users, 'Accommodating Individuality' explores a few different theoretical approaches. Traditional and new forms of user involvement, including participatory design and menuing, are examined but found to fall short in several aspects
Railway expansion is usually associated with containing and supporting economic growth. This particular research approaches railways from the angle of technological potential. It explores whether railways can drive China towards technology-led growth, and if so, the way in which this process occurs. The study uses a theoretical framework of complementarities adjusting it to the qualitative analysi
