The following study investigates the female main character in the novel The Bad Girl (2006), written by the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa. In addition, it examines how she relates to the Marianismo, the Latin-American ideology that proposes that the woman's spiritual and moral capacity is superior to the man's, and favours the woman's sexual passivity and purity. The essay is base
Fara för trichotecener i spannmål? med fokus på T-2/HT-2 Det går att undvika bekämpningsmedel i våra livsmedel eftersom det finns ekologiskt odlade livsmedel. Däremot går det inte att undvika mykotoxiner. De bildas av svampar. I spannmål påträffas bland annat mykotoxinet T-2/HT-2 som tillhör mykotoxingruppen trichotecener och kommer från svampsläktet Fusarium. Riskanalys är den vedertagna metodenThe process of how a maximum level is created for mycotoxins in the European Union is described here. The focus is on the mycotoxin T-2/HT-2 that is formed by Fusarium, a fungus that infects grains. T-2/HT-2 has been an issue for a long time without having a maximum level. This literature study will give an overview of how the process of creating a maximum level works. Risk analysis is the name
This thesis focuses on organic agriculture and alternative food networks in China, which have emerged in the midst of widespread food safety scares. Based on two months of ethnographic research with representatives and participants of alternative food networks dealing with organic food in Beijing and Shanghai, in this paper I investigate cases of ecological and community supported agriculture farm
The purpose of this paper is to answer the question concerning NATO and how it has changed after the end of the Cold War. To do this we will look and analyse four different conflicts that NATO has been involved in since the end of the Cold War. These four conflicts are those of Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Libya. To correctly analyse these conflict in the context of NATO we will use security th
The primary focus on this thesis is to investigate different actors attitudes on sustainable forestry and opportunities and restrictions experienced with these. The actors already manage forest in some way, or are interested in managing forest sustainable. Sustainable development was defined during the WCED in 1987 and has since then been a concept for planning. The concept sustainable development
In modeling unsteady compressible viscous flow problems with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, time adaptive implicit methods are needed to solve the initial value problems that arise when discretizing the equations in accordance with the method of lines. The methods most used in industrial code today are a family of multistep methods called BDF-methods. Because BDF-methods with higher ord
Representations of librarians have appeared in popular culture for a long time. Previous research has found that the most common image of the librarian is the spinster, but only a smaller part of the research has focused on the underlying causes. Drawing inspiration from Radford and Radfords (1997) article ”Power Knowledge and Fear: Feminism, Foucault and the Stereotype of the Female Librarian”, t
The use of sludge as fertilizers contributes to the recycling of nutrients to the environment due to its origin from wastewater and therefore relatively high content of nutrients and organic matter. However, wastewater does also contain hazardous compounds like heavy metals and micropollutants which eventually are separated to the sludge during the treatment processes at the wastewater treatment p
Sweden is striving to fulfill Vision Zero, a road traffic safety project that aims to prevent people from getting killed or seriously injured in traffic. To further improve safety and accessibility of the existing roads, widening of roads can be performed. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and summarize different variants of construction for road widening, using the existing data and exper
Människan har sedan urminnes tider tittat upp mot himlen och försökt lista ut vår plats i Universum. Vi har kommit långt fram sedan tiderna man kartlade stjärnors positioner för hand, till att använda superdatorer till att simulera kosmisk historia. Just nu befinner vi oss i en era där stora resurser läggs ner på att studera vårt hem, vår galax, Vintergatan, i mycket större detalj än förr. En av dI investigate to what extent spiral arms might affect axisymmetric Galactic models. As we need fully dynamical and high resolution Galactic evolutionary models to probe the structure of the dark matter halo, it is important that we use accurate mass models describing the MW structure. Before reaching to that level of effort, a great deal can be learned from fitting mass and kinematic models to dat
Konkurrensen är hård på dagens arbetsmarknad och då vill företagen skydda sig mot att kompetensen i deras företag kommer till användning i konkurrerande verksamhet. Samtidigt vill arbetstagare kunna utnyttja sin kunskap till fullo samt fortsätta utvecklas inom sin profession vid avslutad anställning. Det medför en skillnad mellan parternas intresse vilken ofta regleras i konkurrensklausul och så lThe competition is fierce in today’s labour market, which results in that company’s competence is even more valuable than ever before. Which in turn means that the use of non-compete clauses is widespread on the labour market. This is to make sure the knowledge is not used by a competing business. On the other hand employees want to use and continue to develop their knowledge in their area of expe
Several events have occurred recently that can be interpreted as springing from increased anti- globalization attitudes. Given this trend, it is of importance to investigate what causes this opposition. This study therefore analyzes if those who are predicted to be perceived losers from trade, according to the Heckscher-Ohlin trade theory, can explain globalization attitudes. The methodology is ba
During the last decades, Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) has emerged as a powerful theory within marketing communications research. The main purpose of IMC is to integrate all the communications efforts of an organization into one single and unified voice. However, little research has been undertaken to examine which role tone of voice has in connection to IMC. This study seeks to invest
This thesis investigates the different usages of the wo particle in the Japanese language, from the time of the earliest sources of the 8th century up until today, by presenting examples from different genres and time periods. It shows that the accusative function of the particle has remained in the language at least from the earliest sources while the exclamatory and interjectional usages started
Abstract Author: Madelene Holmberg & Sara Knutsson Title: Difficult conversations in healthcare - from the counselor’s perspective. Supervisor: Anett Schenk Assessor: Anna Rypi The aim of this study was to investigate the healthcare counselor’s perspective on difficult conversations in their work, through interviews. More specific the aim was to examine how the counselors experience conversat
We study the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT correspondence) and investigate in a scalar model how n point functions can be calculated through functional derivatives and how they can be obtained with the use of Witten diagrams instead. We also study a previous anti-de Sitter/quantum chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) model where the mass of the phi meson has not been considere
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to empirically estimate the divestiture announcement effect on the shareholder’s wealth for metal-producing companies using the event study methodology and to analyze firm and industry-specific factors that can affect/cause these announcement effects by implying the cross-sectional analysis. Data Selection: Research sample contains information regarding d
The aim of this study is to investigate the World Bank Development Report from a perspective of human capabilities. Of interest is to understand the meanings of the deve- lopment issues stated in the report, and how they affect individuals living in development countries. In this way, the complexity of the problems can be illustrated. The purpose of this paper is to use Martha Nussbaum’s theory ab
