Utgångspunkt för denna uppsats är Gabor Matés facklitterära bok In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction från 2008. Första delen av uppsatsen innehåller en källtextanalys av boken, där bland annat bokens kontext, innehåll och stil diskuteras. Andra delen av uppsatsen utgörs av en översättningsanalys, där hanteringen av några polysema ord analyseras. Före själva analysen prese

Background: The rise of influencer marketing, fuelled by globalisation and social media popularity, has led to an increased ethically contested promotion of aesthetic surgery by influencers. Existing research has primarily focused on consumers, leaving the influencer perspective and their ethical justifications largely unexplored. Purpose: To explore the ethical justifications of social media infl

The Proletarian Pedagogy of the Pioneers: Education Through Self-Cultivation, Immersion, and Creativity with the Aim to Achieve the Communist Utopia, 1924–1929. The thesis examines how the Swedish pioneer movement between the years 1924 and 1929 tried to raise the new socialist generation through a pedagogy which they believed were necessary to achieve the Communist Utopia, the classless society.

Det akuta klimathot som mänskligheten står inför kräver insatser av hela det globala samfundet. Inom den internationella rätten hanteras utsläpp av växthusgaser genom en växelverkan mellan flera olika rättsområden. I ljuset av havens betydelse för planetens klimatreglering spelar den internationella havs-rätten och UNCLOS en viktig roll i att mildra klimatförändringarna. Med utgångspunkt i rättsdoThe urgency of the climate change crisis calls for global efforts. Mitigation of GHG-pollution within international law consists of the interaction of multiple legal areas. Given the importance of the oceans in climate regulation, the international law of the sea and UNCLOS are important in protecting the marine environment. By the use of the legal dogmatic method, the essay seeks to examine the o

This thesis investigates the semiotic foundations of recurrent gestures through a cross-cultural study of the Two-Handed-Alternation-Sagittal (2HAS) gesture in Japanese and Swedish. Drawing on the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM)––a cognitive-semiotic model of meaning-making––the study explores how recurrent gestures emerge from the dynamic interplay between embodiment and sedimentation.

The subject of this thesis is polygamy – marriages between more that two parties. It is a phenomenon that in the present day is most prevalent as polygyny, which denotes marriages between one man and two or more women. The thesis’ research question is Can polygamy be justified? Polygamy is justifiable, if its existence in a society is considered to be desirable. Two normative theories, both libera

This thesis explores how companies should manage their digital customer journey in a business-to-business context. In prior research, academic gaps related to diverse customers and internal capabilities’ influence on the digital customer journey have been identified. Thus, this thesis aims to explore how a case company should manage their digital customer journey and what internal capabilities, re

Context: The incretin effect is responsible for the higher insulin response to oral glucose than to iv glucose at matching glucose levels. It is not known whether this effect is restricted to glucose only. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine whether insulin and incretin hormone responses are higher after oral vs. iv challenge of a lipid emulsion with matching triglyceride levels in huma

Background Family history is a strong risk factor for prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether increased diagnostic activity is related to the incidence of prostate cancer among brothers of men with prostate cancer. Methods Data were from the nationwide population-based Prostate Cancer Database Sweden (PCBaSe Sweden), which includes data from the National Prostate Cancer R

New radiative lifetimes have been measured for the 5s (3)P(0,1,2)degrees and 5s (1)P(1)degrees levels of Ge I using a laser-produced plasma subject to selective laser excitation. A diffraction grating based emission spectrometer of moderately high resolution has been used to remeasure the branching ratios of the 4p-5s depopulating transitions. The oscillator strengths of astrophysical interest, wh

Combinatorial libraries and selection of variants from such libraries have proven to be a successful approach for identifying molecules with novel or improved properties. The importance of antibody (Ab) molecules in basic and applied research, as well as the extensive knowledge of how they interact with their antigen (Ag) targets, have made them favorite targets for modification by this approach.

Lifetimes of six levels belonging to the 4f(10)6p configuration of Ho III have been measured for the first time using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. They are compared with multiconfigurational pseudo-relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations. A very good agreement is found. Using the experimental lifetimes and theoretical branching fractions, a first set of transition probabilit
