This thesis is an examination of constructions of women in the comprehensive peace agreement between Sudan and SPLM/A (Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Sudan People’s Liberation Army) between the years of 2002-2005. The analysis is based in the comprehensive peace agreement and the discourse analysis of the agreement. I use a concept of discourse from the method of critical feminist discourse an

Agil organisering blir allt vanligare i arbetslivet och bland organisationer i varierade branscher i takt med ökad tilltro till och användning av informations- och kommunikationsteknologi. Dock saknas kunskap om hur medarbetarna upplever den agila organisationsstrukturen. Syftet med denna intervjustudie var att bidra med ny, fördjupad kunskap om hur agil organisationsstruktur upplevs genom att belAgile principles are increasingly adopted by organizations in various industries as information and communication technologies evolve. However, little is known about aspects of the employee experience within the agile organizational structure.

Despite some evidence that the father’s role is particularly crucial for the child’s academic experiences and performance, only a few studies have examined influences of father involvement and the child’s attachment security on the child’s self-beliefs, sense of school belongingness and academic achievement, and the focus has been mostly on Western cultures. The present study investigated these li

The breakdown of plastics in our oceans is one of our times biggest challenges. What happens when these plastics are broken down into pieces too small to see is still a mystery. Nanoplastics is a relatively new area of research and much more studies need to be done before we can get a perspective of how big the problem is. To be able to study these plastics we need a way to attain nanoplastic samp

The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140. Central to Act 140 is the repatriation philosophy that is carried out in practice with an increased focus on temporary residency of refugees within the Danish asylum system as opposed to permanency. Thus, social integration

Against the backdrop of universality proposals claiming that all the world’s languages share the way they conceptualise and express THINKING, this study investigates verbs of thinking in German and Swedish in a comparative perspective.

This essay explores the traditional elite of Sweden - the nobility, and how a social and traditional privilege reproduces in a modern western society. The House of Nobility in Sweden – Riddarhuset - gives their members a sense of identity, historical anchorage in present time and an economic advantage.

The top-down approach of policymakers and donors lead to the priorities of local stakeholders not being accounted for which in turn leads to trade-offs. Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals

5G supports enormous increase in data rate. Massive antenna beamforming is expected to play a key role in increasing capacity in case of multi-user MIMO and coverage in case of single-user MIMO. The large number of antennas in massive MIMO system will lead to enormous amount of channel state information being stored in the memory and this necessitates the use of compression techniques for efficien

When an internet user opens a web page containing an advertising slot, how is it determined which ad is shown? Today, the most common software-based approach to trading advertising slots is real time bidding: as soon as the user begins to load the web page, an auction for the slot is held in real time, and the highest bidder gets to display their advertisement of choice. Auction bidding is perform

Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid. KoldioThis study’s purpose was to try and study whether Carbon Dioxide in indoor environments (schools and offices) affect performance and health in students and office workers in terms of mental effects and Sick Building Syndrome. This study was executed as a literary study where eight different scientific articles were analysed and compared to see if their results are comparable with each other and sh

Bakgrund: ​Några av de viktigaste aspekterna att ta hänsyn till i vår nutid är att konsumera hållbart och minska mängden avfall vi efterlämnar. En del enskilda individer har börjat ta aktivt ansvar för sin egna miljöpåverkan och sociala medier har visat sig vara ett viktigt verktyg i att engagera sig i hållbarhet. Detta för att nå ut till andra, engagera dem, sprida medvetenhet och kommunicera medBackground: ​Some of the most important aspects to take into account in our present time are to consume sustainably and reduce the amount of waste we leave behind.

In particular, tourist comments on the TripAdvisor page of the Kumari Chowk in Kathmandu, Nepal will be examined. These reviews will be divided into trends in order to consider the reason why tourist decides to visit the Kumari Chowk. This will be done in the light

The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary
