This thesis analyses the Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman’s impact on Argentine film and identity formation from the first South American premiere of Sommarlek (1951) in 1952 to the fall of the argentine dictatorship in 1983. Based on the Science's Blood Flow Theory developed by sociologist Bruno Latour the essay reconstructs the technological conditions for Bergman's breakthrough. In
I Sverige trädde sexköpslagen i kraft år 1999 vilket kriminaliserade sexköp i syftet att stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Ett år senare hävdes bordellförbudet i Nederländerna och prostitution sågs som en form av företag som blev lagligt – både när det gällde att sälja och köpa sex. Trots de olika regleringarna i två olika kulturer utsätts prostituerade för våld, stigmatisering och hamnar i utanförskaThe sex purchase law, which made sex purchases a criminal offence, took effect in 1999 in Sweden to stop men’s violence against women. A year later, the brothel prohibition in the Netherlands was lift-ed, and prostitution was considered a legal form of business – both in regard of selling and buying sex. Despite the different regulations in these two different cultures, prostitutes are subject to
In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t
The search for prior art documents is an important, but time-consuming task for the patent attorney. Today, these searches are carried out using keywords, which is problematic since inventions often are described using abstract and general terms in the patent applications. In addition, synonyms must be taken into account and formulated manually. This means a risk of relevant documents being overlo
Marken är en viktig spelare när det kommer till att lagra kol, särskilt i boreala skogar. Dessa skogar lagrar nämligen största delen av sitt kol i jorden och fungerar som en viktig kolsänka. Men vi vet faktiskt inte helt vad det är som styr detta. Ny forskning har dock lyft ektomykorrhizasvampar som en viktig faktor. Mer konkret så föreslås nu ektomykorrhizasvampars förmåga att frigöra grundämnet Boreal forests store the majority of their carbon in the soil and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that control carbon storage in boreal soils are not well understood. In recent studies, there has been a specific focus on how ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi influence carbon dynamics in boreal forests, particularly through their nitrogen acquisition. A major pa
Denna uppsats behandlar de tre rekvisiten stipulerade i inkomstskattelagen som behöver vara uppfyllda för att ett företag skatterättsligt skall konstituera ett investmentföretag. Bedömningen gällande huruvida ett företag uppfyller ett, eller flera, av rekvisiten för investmentföretagsstatus har dock inte alltid visat sig vara oproblematisk i praktiken. Uppsatsens syfte är således dels att redogöraThis essay deals with the three necessary conditions, stipulated in the Swedish Income Tax Act (“Inkomstskattelagen”), needed to be met in order for a company to be able to constitute an investment company. However, determining whether an entity satisfies one or more of the criteria for investment company status has not always proved to be unproblematic in practice. The purpose of the essay is thu
Detta examensarbete tar avstamp och inspiration från boken Stilövningar (originaltitel Exercices de style) från 1947, av den franske författaren och poeten Raymond Queneau, i vilken han återberättar en och samma historia på 99 olika sätt. Det är vare sig den, i boken, banala grundberättelsen eller den enskilda återberättelsen som är intressant, utan det är i upprepningen och relationen dem emellan
This MA thesis introduces Europeana and information science principles to the field of museology. Its aim is to identify challenges in digital cultural heritage metadata management within an international context. To do this, this thesis focuses on specific aspects: the European Data Model, international cooperation, and the metadata management process specific to Europeana. The study is designed
With the advancement of artificial intelligence, customers and users in general have been more used to having a virtual assistance method for service-related tasks. However, in the shopping centre industry, the self-help solutions mostly follow the traditional pattern of having a conciérge or a totem where you can look for the location of a particular store. This thesis aims to look at this with a
Electrogoniometers are prone to crosstalk errors related to endblocks rotation (general crosstalk) and to the characteristics of each sensor (individual crosstalk). The aim of this study was to assess the crosstalk errors due to endblock misalignments and to propose a procedure to compensate for these errors in knee applications. A precision jig was used to simulate pure +/- 100 degrees flexion/ex
Key stereoelectronic properties of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans [FeFe]-hydrogenase (DdH) were investigated by quantum mechanical description of its complete inorganic core, which includes a Fe6S6 active site (the H-cluster), as well as two ancillary Fe4S4 assemblies (the F and F' clusters). The partially oxidized, active-ready form of DdH is able to efficiently bind dihydrogen, thus starting H-2 ox
Aims: Differences in morphology in adult barn swallows were investigated using bone and feather measurements taken from birds from a northern (Danish) and a southern (Spanish) European population. Discriminant Function Analysis was used to help in discriminating the sex of individuals of both populations. Location: Badajoz (Spain) and Kraghede (Denmark). Methods: Two discriminant functions were ob
År 1993 tilläts uthyrning av personal i vinstsyfte i Sverige. Detta medförde att en ny bransch kunde växa fram. Bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess utvecklats till en stark och viktig aktör på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Då de svenska bemanningsföretagen idag utgör några av Sveriges största arbetsgivare är det viktigt att det finns en fungerande reglering av branschen. Syftet med denna uppsats är
In 1993 with the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Union, for the first time, formally institutionalized foreign policy cooperation in its Treaties. Thence, the Treaties governing the foreign policy of the Union has undergone no less than four reforms, introducing theoretically interesting institutional innovations. Despite this, academia has largely turned its attention towa
As China modernizes, its waste management capacities are put to a test. Faced by significant pressures to find a solution for growing municipal solid waste, China’s authorities have embraced waste incineration technology as a seemingly cost-efficient alternative to landfills. Against this push, significant societal opposition against the construction of waste incinerators has been mounting. Yet wh

Rural development on the island of Gotland has been in decline for years. In the year 2011/12, two uprisings were triggered. The first, the “Countryside Uprisings” was started against the local authority’s move to shut down 11 schools in the countryside and the second, the “Gotlandic Uprising” was against the high cost of ferry travel between Got-land and the Swedish mainland. The undercurrent of
