Patriarchal ideologies, gender equality and the conflict between the old and modern ways of life have always been topics of discussion in contemporary society. In 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby, when patriarchal ideologies were dominant in American society and American literature. Additionally, there is an ambivalence showing that although times were changing, the gender ster

In the laboratory, minimum-effort coordination games routinely reach low levels for larger group sizes. Weber (2006 American Economic Review) showed that by simply starting with a small group and adding players that are exposed to the group’s history over time, one can “grow” larger groups with high effort levels. Adapting the concept of introspective equilibrium, I create a model to replicate the

Under de senaste årtiondena har media rapporterat om fall där personer begått, eller försökt begå, självmord efter vad som tillsynes verkar vara uppmuntran eller påverkan av andra. Den 12 juni 2019 kom utredningen ”Straffrättsligt skydd för barn som bevittnar brott mellan närstående samt mot uppmaning och annan psykisk påverkan att begå självmord” med ett betänkande. I betänkandet läggs ett förfatIn recent decades, the media has reported cases of people committing, or attempting to commit suicide after what appears to be by abetting or encouragement from others. On the 12th of June 2019, the Swedish investigation “Criminal protection for children who witness domestic violence and against abetting or by other means influencing others to commit suicide”, came with a report.

When installing multiple security cameras the cable management can be a struggle. Historically cameras need one cable for power and one for communication, however, advancements in power over ethernet have reduced the number of cables down to one.

We can also see historically that there has been a normative difference and that the subject is not examined in a greater extend. The aim of this study was to gain increased knowledge about how social workers in their work within the framework of LVU(The Care

Tvekande hjortdjur Vägar utgör ett hinder och stor fara för många djur. Ljus och ljud stör djuren och vid stora mängder trafik blir vägen en barriär. Broar och tunnlar kan ge dem möjligheter att passera förbi, men ytterligare kunskap behövs för att veta hur man ska utforma dessa. Tidigare har man mätt antalet av besökande djur som passerat igenom för att bedöma hur väl broarna fungerar. ResultateWildlife crossing structures are needed to enable animal movements in an all more broken up landscape. The Swedish Transport Administration need to know how to build these. Previous studies have focused on passing frequencies and indices. Few have looked at the behavior of the visiting animals. In this study, I have complemented passage frequencies with vigilance behavior for roe deer and fallow d

Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning.

Familj och föräldraskap är relativt vanliga begrepp i våra liv. Deras innebörd i vardagliga sammanhang är dock betydligt mer omfattande än den rättsliga definitionen. I rätten har familjeband och föräldraskap historiskt sett grundats på äktenskap och genetik; moderskapet fastställs enligt Mater est-principen och faderskap genom presumtion, bekräftelse eller dom. Europakonventionen tillförsäkrar Family and parenthood are concepts commonly used in our day-to-day life, where the purports of the two also seem to be more including in comparison to the judicial definition. In legal history family ties and parenthood were marriage-based and due to reproduction. Maternity was simply a consequence of carrying a child while paternity would, in Sweden, be established by presumption, confirmation or

I denna uppsats analyseras hur diskursen om DO:s uppdrag, i två debattartiklar och en replik från 2017-2018, kan analyseras utifrån kritisk diskursanalys från Norman Fairclough. Därefter görs en undersökning på hur diskursen kan kopplas till frågan om access to justice, i synnerhet om individens tillgång till domstolsprövning. Den ena debattartikeln är skriven av juristen Rami Al-Khamisi och den aIn this essay I will analyse how the discourse regarding The Equality Ombudsman duties can be analysed using the method critical discourse analysis as defined by Norman Fairclough on two debate articles and one reply from the years 2017-2018. Following this, the essay examines how this issue can be linked to the concept of access to justice. One article is written by previous law student Rami Al-K

The method f

Det finns just nu momentum för att stängda de luckor i lagstiftningen kring företags ansvar för negativa effekter på mänskliga rättigheter. En av de mest ambitiösa åtagandena hittills är initiativet till ett EU-direktiv med syfte att kräva skälig aktsamhet (så kallad ”due diligence”) och ansvar från företag för påverkan på mänskliga rättigheter och miljön. Ett lagförslag förväntas komma under sommMomentum is building for closing the regulatory gaps on business responsibility for adverse human rights impacts. One of the most ambitious actions so far is the initiative for an EU directive on corporate due diligence and accountability for human rights and the environment. A proposal for the provisions of the directive is expected this summer (2021). Historically children’s rights have been top

Iron is a micronutrient that a lot of people all over the world lack to some extent. Researching new ways to enrich food may be a part of the future food industry. One way is to enrich the crops we grow. Hence, with the help of ascorbic acid as a pH adjustor and ironcitrate, tries have been made to enrich alfalfa sprouts. Sprouting as a method is also a good way to break down antinutrients in seed

Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis).

When a website has critical points in time when the amount of visitors increases significantly within a very short time frame, it is extremely important for the underlying system to be prepared to properly handle these large amount of requests.
