In the domain of current spatial semiotics two important, but also radically different, approaches can be distinguished as modelling the co-operative agency of human, material and legal properties of space, namely that of Manar Hammad’s and that of Bruno Latour’s. Hammad, being a semiotician, more true to the Greimasian heritage, regards a finite set of principal actantial types (owners, visitors,

In this paper, we study activity on Twitter in relation to the Swedish political festival Almedalsveckan, a week-long event where political parties, interest organizations, corporations and other actors for decades have gathered on the island of Gotland to discuss politics and public affairs. In 2018, a total of 4311 events (speeches, seminars, debates etc.) were arranged by 1929 separate actors a

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, attention problems, and difficulties with social interactions. Pharmacological treatment may alleviate the symptoms of ADHD but this rarely solves difficulties with social interactions. Children with ADHD may benefit from interventions designed to improve their social skills.We

Older people with arrhythmias comprise a large group requiring complex care, posing many healthcare challenges. Rapid growth of the older population demands a better understanding of the needs of this patient group. The aim of this thesis was to investigate arrhythmia prevalence, incidence, survival, and experiences from the perspective of a geriatric population (aged 60+ years), and to examine th

The thesis comprises an analysis of the heat transfer phenomenon in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and a description of various transport phenomena in a solid oxide electrolysis cell. Both devices are encompassed under the solid oxide electrochemical cell concept. Moreover, a CFD model of an SOEC was developed to study the behavior of the cell under different conditions of operating and structural

Purpose of this research The ability to quickly respond presupposes logistics systems designed to be responsive; supply chains must prepare to act if specific circumstances occur. By investigating ‘preparedness’ in a defence logistics context, the overall research objectives are to define ‘preparedness’ and to advance defence logistics as an academic research area. Design/methodology/approach We

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), the ancestors of all blood cells, have the ability to give rise to mature effector cells through a series of developmental steps. This is a tightly regulated, though a highly dynamic process: on the one hand, dysregulation in steady-state could lead to under- or overgrowth of certain blood cell lineages, whereas, on the other hand, demands for certain mature blood c

My PhD dissertation investigates relationships between contemporary art and spatial practices It emphasising the creation of platforms for public participation as interventions into urban regeneration processes. The project has two essential objectives: a. To identify the potential within contemporary art for a critical analysis of an urban de velopment process from the location, in dialogue with

This thesis is about the theology of the leader of Anglican evangelicalism, John Stott. Throughout this study of evangelical identity, the relationship between the objective belief and the subjective experience is a main thread. An attempt at definition of the Anglican evangelicalism: Theologically, evangelicalism means that the bibliology and the doctrine of salvation have been in the foreground

The thesis is a broad attempt to analyse economic forces behind, and economic rationales for, institutions that constrain the organisation and operation of insurance companies. The basic task is threefold: (i) to develop institutional theory by providing an outline of a transaction cost explanation of the origin of, and the rationale for, institutions that constrain the organisation and the operat

The introduction presents the study area and the background to the study. This is followed in the next chapter by a survey of the various kinds of sites of Roman date found in the Argolid. Citie

Despite the ongoing globalisation of economic activities, innovation does not take place randomly distributed over space, but concentrates in certain locations. A central argument to explain the spatial concentration of innovation activities lies in the ability of geographical proximity to facilitate interactive learning and knowledge exchange, which in turn is seen as an important driver for regi

This dissertation is a thematic reading of 1,574 items from four Japanese and three Taiwanese major daily newspapers published in the 2000-2008 period. It argues that the concepts of repetition and representation play key structural and narrative roles in the sources and outlines how these concepts operate and how they interrelate on a content level as well as on a level of larger media frameworks

År 2025 presenterades SOU 2025:2 Några frågor om grundläggande fri- och rättigheter, där en kommitté fick i uppdrag att bland annat utreda om ökade möjligheter bör införas för att begränsa föreningsfriheten i förhållande till kriminella sammanslutningar. Kommittén drog slutsatsen att sådana möjligheter bör införas, och några månader senare presenterades kommittédirektiv 2025:28 Kriminalisering av In 2025, the government presented the report SOU 2025:2, Some Issues Concerning Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, which tasked a committee with, among other matters, examining whether the freedom of association should be restricted in relation to criminal organizations. The committee concluded that such measures should be introduced and a few months later Directive 2025:28, Criminalization of Parti

The purpose of the present study is threefold. Firstly, I wish to investigate the phenomenon of double supines in colloquial Swedish. In doing so, I hope to achieve my second purpose, which is to take a first step towards a better understanding of a particular kind of complementation of which the double supine construction forms a subset. I will refer to this complementation as parasitic complemen

In the early 21st century, deflationary trends applied pressure on margins in a range of different industries and subsequently cost reductions were required. Improving efficiency in the supply chain was identified as one of the key sources of potential cost savings. Subsequently, a trend towards slimmer supply chains with less stockkeeping emerged. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic supply chai

The comprehensive use of plastic globally has raised many questions about how it will affect living organisms once it is disposed of and reaches the ecosystem. Disposing of plastic in high amounts without recycling could lead to several toxic effects for aquatic organisms and eventually humans. Accumulation of plastic for a long time leads to its aggregation and/or degradation into small sizes in

Av artikel 6 Europakonventionen följer att varje person som befinner sig under en medlemsstats jurisdiktion har rätt till en rättvis rättegång. Till de rättigheter som i detta avseende följer tillkommer bland annat oskyldighetspresumtionen som medför att varje person som står anklagad för brott försäkras att betraktas som oskyldig till att motsatsen bevisas och dennes skuld lagligen fastställts. OArticle 6 in the European Convention on Human Right provides that every person under the jurisdiction of a member state has the right to a fair trial. To the rights that follow in this respect are added, among other things, the presumption of innocence, which means that every person accused of a crime is assured to be considered innocent until proven guilty and his guilt legally establishes.

The watershed of Bolmen is of high interest since it provides water for drinking and energy purposes, representing a resource of notable importance for the society of southern Sweden. Among the main objectives there is the estimation of the water b

Under Covid-19 pandemin har distansarbete varit en central del i strategin för att minska smittspridningen av viruset. Före pandemin arbetade endast 5 % av arbetstagarna inom EU på distans regelbundet. När pandemin bröt ut ökade andelen distansarbetare inom EU till nästan 40 %. Den snabba omställningen till distansarbete har aktualiserat flera arbetsrättsliga frågor. Syftet med denna uppsats är atDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, telework has been a central part of the strategy to reduce the spread of the virus. Before the pandemic, only 5% of EU workers worked remotely on a regular basis. When the pandemic broke out, the proportion of employees working remotely in the EU increased to almost 40%. The rapid transition to telework has raised several issues of labor law. The purpose of this thesi
