The aim of this thesis is to investigate if, and in what ways, the historical Jesus was considered by his contemporaries to be following a Solomonic typology in his way of performing exorcisms.
The purpose of this thesis has been to illustrate the performative aspects of the expressions created by the Swedish reception of Valerie Solanas’ Scum Manifesto, by focusing on Malin Arnell’s performance piece I didn’t do it for nothing. Arnell’s performance works as a connecting point on which Judith Butler's account of performativity and Louis Althusser's theory of interpellation has be
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used by organizations and companies throughout the world since 1990. Many universities have recently replaced their legacy systems with ERP systems to improve work efficiency. One solution available for universities by way of management information system is the Campus ERP system. The Campus ERP system helps universities incorporate all departme
The treaty of Lisbon introduced several significant institutional changes to the EU. The main research question of this thesis is therefore the following: How has the institutional changes in the treaty of Lisbon affected how the EU debates norms and what norms the EU refers to? In order to approach the research problem this thesis uses a comparative case study design which looks at how the EU deb
I mer än 40 år har det pågått en diskussion om huruvida EU kan och bör ansluta sig till den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna, (EKMR, konventionen). Efter Lissabonfördragets ikraftträdande finns numera till och med en fördragsstadgad skyldighet för unionen att ansluta sig till konventionen. Av den anledningen förhandlade EU-kommissionen
Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish this link the study provides historical and predicted climatic changes for two drought sensitive agro-ecological zones in Ghana and further determines how these changes have influ
In generally, there is a phenomenon of “free rider” in the establishment of national oil reserves for different countries, which means that they have the tendency of underestimating the strategic oil reserves. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of non-cooperative game theory. It also analyzes the establishment of strategic oil reserve among different countries base
Utifrån aktuell forskning kring publik och reception, och mot bakgrund av en förskjutning inom samtidens scenkonst mot åskådarnas delaktighet och medansvar söker texten uppvärdera publiken och de många aspekter av teaterhändelsen som receptionsperspektivet aktualiserar, och bidra till en omdefiniering av teaterns problem och dess uppdrag visavi publiken.
In order to make the hydrogen economy fully sustainable, renewable resources have to be employed for its production. Simulation models, developed with Aspen Plus to calculate mass and energy balances, will be used to integrate the process steps necessary to produce pure hydrogen from biomass in a 2-stage fermentation process. The main challenge is the reduction of water and heat demand connected t
Syria, as well as many other countries in the Middle East, faces serious water shortage problems. Available water per capita (AWPC) will dramatically decrease due to climate change, population increase, and water needed for economic growth. Rainwater harvesting can play an important role in increasing available water in Syria. However, the absence of rainwater sewer systems in many rural areas in
J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor’s ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group G on a spherically h
Purpose – Adaptation appears to be regarded as a panacea in policy circles to reduce the risk of impending crises resulting from contemporary changes, including but not restricted to climate change. Such conceptions can be problematic, generally assuming adaptation as an entirely positive and non-conflictual process. The purpose of this paper is to challenge such uncritical views, drawing attentio
Somalia is by scholars viewed as the definition of a "failed State". Somalia has been without a central and efficient government since 1991 and is still troubled by internal fighting and the lack of central control over the means of violence. In 2004, the 14th attempt to establish a government since 1991 was initiated, this interim government had no civil service or government buildings
The general theory of international trade points out that the economic growth of a country will be significantly affected by global economic fluctuation if this country shows an increased dependence on foreign countries in the economic field. After the Chinese government adopted reform and opening up policy in 1978, many exciting changes could be seen in this country. Now, although China is still
Abstract In this thesis I will discuss the relationship between the European Union and the regions of Europe. The development of the European Union has meant that many decisions are taken in Bruxelles. Many actors participate in the policyprocess ranging from national goverment to policynetworks of different kinds. An emerging actor has been the regions of Europe. Their influence on the policypro
The essay discusses underlying racism in the Swedish community and has, as a specific purpose, to illustrate and analyze how images of immigrants are constructed in a local setting. The questions at issue are: What established conceptions about racism exist and how are immigrants described by the youth in Sweden? Which racist manifestations are evident? To answer these questions, twelve interviews
