The purpose of this study was to explore how Swedish mass media depicts people with psychopathy through the use of the following questions: How are people with psychopathy depicted in the media outlet Aftonbladet? What perception of people with psychopathy does this imply? This was done using an inductive approach accompanied by qualitative content analysis. Purposive criterion sampling and induct
Carmilla (1872) is a foundational gothic novella that explores female intimacy, monstrosity, and transgression within a patriarchal context. While widely recognized for its depiction of same-sex desire and subversion of Victorian gender norms, the story also reveals a deeper network of violence that sustains social and gendered hierarchies. However, critical attention has often focused more on Car
On Rednote, a social media platform for lifestyle and interests in China, users often describe some public comment sections as having 活人感 (huó rén gǎn, liveliness), a feeling that someone has personally invested effort and left perceivable traces in what is said. Voice comments have become a visible component of this interactional environment. I explored how asynchronous voice comments are used in
The European Union is one of the world’s most impactful development actors. As such, it has adopted the Policy Coherence for Development framework in order to minimize contradictions between policies that affect developing countries. The ultimate goal of the framework is to increase development effectiveness to the welfare of developing partners. However, the existing literature is rich in doubts
Energikrisen har skapat osäkerhet för både energibolag och konsumenter. Kundnöjdhet och varumärkeslojalitet är avgörande för företags framgång. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka fallorganisationen Öresundskrafts kommunikationsinsatser i syfte att upprätthålla varumärkeslojalitet och konsumenters attityder gentemot varumärket i en energikris. De huvudsakliga teoretiska ramverken The energy crisis has created uncertainty for both energy companies and consumers. Customer satisfaction and brand loyalty are crucial for business success. The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine the communication efforts of the case organization Öresundskraft in order to maintain brand loyalty and consumers' attitudes towards the brand during an energy crisis. The main theoretica
Linear multi-step methods have been around for more than a century now. But they were with a fixed step-size, where a lot of hand calculations had to be made to find the coefficients of each method separately. It is only recently that variable step-size methodology was introduced and built into the solver. In this thesis, we are exploring this new methodology and at the same time, implementing one
År 2019 överlämnade en särskild utredare, utsedd av regeringen, ett betänkande till regeringen där denne föreslår att en ny bestämmelse ska införas i Brottsbalkens 4 kapitel som ska göra det straffbart att hetsa, uppmana eller på annat sätt psykiskt påverka annan att begå självmord. Frågan som aktualiseras är om denna kriminalisering är lämplig. Det finns vissa centrala straffrättsliga teorier iIn 2019, a special investigator submitted a report to the Swedish government advocating that the incitement of suicide be made a criminal offence. To accomplish this, the investigator proposed that a new provision should be introduced in Chapter 4 of the Swedish Penal Code which would make it a criminal offense to incite, or otherwise psychologically influence, an individual to commit suicide. W
The aim of this master thesis was to produce meatballs with different characteristics and from these, find the meatball that oxidized the most. For the production, minced meat with different concentrations of salt and fat from both beef and pork was used. Half of the meatballs were pan-fried and the other half was deep fat fried. Additionally, three different storage times were applied. The meatba
Popular Abstract in Swedish Epigenetik handlar om hur avläsning av informationen i arvsmassan kan styras och nedärvas mellan cellgenerationer. Förmågan att kunna ändra genuttrycksmönster som svar på signaler från omgivningen och sedan bibehålla dessa genom efterföljande celldelningar ligger till grund för korrekt funktion av vävnaderna och organen som våra kroppar är uppbyggda av. Samtliga sjukdomPrecise spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression programs is a prerequisite for multicellular life. Since the discovery of DNA as the carrier of genetic information, a key question in biology has been how these hard coded instructions are read and regulated to maintain cellular and organismal homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms and processes governing gene and genome regulation are
In recent decades, many marine populations have experienced major declines in abundance, but we still know little about where management interventions may help protect the highest levels of marine biodiversity. We used modeled spatial distribution data for nearly 12,500 species to quantify global patterns of species richness and two measures of endemism. By combining these data with spatial inform
Background: FTV Capital is a private equity company specializing in growth equity. Even though the company has been very successful, the private equity industry is highly competitive and more and more companies are turning their strategy towards growth equity. To stand out and keep the competitive advantage, having a strong brand and communicating efficiently is particularly important for a privat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar förändringar inom den arbetsmarknadspolitik som erbjuds arbetslösa socialbidragstagare mellan 1989 och 2002 i Sverige. Denna förändring beskrivs som en process där kommunerna tar allt mer ansvar för arbetsmarknadspolitiken. Denna grupp arbetslösa kategoriseras som en speciellt problematisk grupp och hänvisas till kommunerna. Detta sker utan tyThis dissertation focuses on changes in labour market policies that were provided for unemployed recipients of social assistance between 1989 and 2002 in Sweden. This change is described as a process where the municipalities gradually take greater responsibility for the labour market policies. This group of unemployed is categorized as a particularly problematic group and has been referred to the
Background: Diabetes is associated with systemic complications. Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, and retinopathy, in type 1 diabetes is declining but it is not known if this is true also for diabetic neuropathy.Aim: To investigate the relationship between large fiber diabetic neuropathy and other diabetic complications.Materials and methods: Neuropathy, defined here as large fiber neuropathy, w
It is well known that during the suckling period pancreatic secretion is low. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with pancreatic-like enzymes of microbial origin (PLEM) and SiO2, as an antibacterial factor, on the performance of piglets fed creep feed during weaning and thereafter. The experiment was performed on piglets from 30 litters. The piglets were
Popular Abstract in Swedish Värmebehandling (termoterapi) av tumör baseras på kunskap om den celldödande effekten av värme. Den har begränsats av svårigheten att kontrollera temperaturutbredningen så att en selektiv och tillräcklig effekt erhålls, och detta gäller särskilt djupt belägna tumörer. Interstitiell laser termoterapi (ILT) med Nd:YAG laser är en ny behandlingsform, som ger de tekniska föInterstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. In the present work, a laser thermotherapy system based on feedback temperature control of energy delivery (through computerised feedback system) was developed. Temperature control was excellent in experiments without carbonization and with preserved light penetration, whereas tempe
Oxidation of Pt(CN)42- in aqueous solutions of chlorine has been followed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. For pH less than ca. 7, the reaction takes place by two parallel paths with Cl2 and HOCl as oxidants. Rate law determined. In unbuffered solutions of chlorine in aqueous NaClO4, the slow HOCl path is predominant, whereas in weakly acidic solutions buffered with HCl, oxidation takes place
