This thesis will explore two significant cultural symbols of Mexican-American/Chicano culture: La Malinche and the Virgin of Guadalupe [La Virgen de Guadalupe]. The Chicana Feminist Movement, a notable women of color feminist movement, is considered to have been created and most active in the 1960s-1980s era of the United States. An examination will be conducted on how the two cultural symbols, La

We study the solvability for a system of pseudodifferential operators. We will assume that the systems is of principal type, i.e., the principal symbol vanishes of first order on the kernel, and that the eigenvalue close to zero has constant multiplicity. We prove that local solvability is to condition (PSI) on the eigenvalues as in the scalar case. This condition rules out any sign changes from -
In four different phases in the years of 1938, 1941 and 1944/1945 the medieval leper hospital in Lund was extensively excavated. The excavations revealed a church and two different types of living quarters. The archaeologists encountered a large amount of artifacts across a variety of categories. In this thesis I have selected seven categories of finds that are related to everyday life. These have
Swinging feminity, A study of chick flick genre In this paper I attempt to study different characterizations of chick flicks in Europe and USA. The study consists of a theoretical part in which I study various aspects of chick flick. Characteristics, definition, presumptions and history of the genre are in focus in this part. I will then discuss the genre’s relation to feminism and post-feminism c
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to compare the Nation Branding initiatives of Sweden and Germany in order to identify important factors while navigating their Nation Brand. A framework has been developed on the basis of existing theory which has been tested on the objects of the case study. The purpose was to demonstrate possible empirical correlations not described by the theory. Finally the pa
It is suggested that Proto-Nordic /r/ was velar or uvular and /z/ postdental. It is suggsted that the two pronunciations were preserved in different areas after the phonemic merger: postdental in central Sweden and Norway and velar/uvular in the south of Scandinavia. The idea that the velar /r/ was imported from France int he 17th or 18th century is rejected.
This paper analyzes the effect of overlapping Trade blocs on Trade Facilitation. Using the time, documents and costs incurred as trade facilitation indicators, simulations show interesting yet important effects of an increase in Regional Trade Agreements on trade costs. The results suggest that when it comes to increasing regional trade agreements by 1%, costs are associated with an increase via t
A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared ind
Countries differ in the volumes of their prison population. This does not seem to simply be a result of differences in levels of crime, as prison populations does not appear to correspond with available indicators of crime, neither within nor between countries. Thus, other explanatory models should be available. Previously, the importance of economic, political, and cultural aspects has been studi
This study aimed to explore the effect of group conversation about injustice using methods from Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) in a theatre setting. The objective was to reduce prejudice, psychological inflexibility with stigma and white fragility as well as increase compassion and behavioural intentions towards equality, among a sample of Swedish adults. An interactive conversational t
