Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling studeras korruption och mutor som i första hand sociala och moraliska, snarare än ekonomiska, fenomen. Vilka beskrivningar och tolkningar ger svenska och danska biståndsarbetare av sina möten med vardaglig korruption? Hur fördömes, ursäktas eller rättfärdigas användandet av mutor? Går det att tala om en etikett för mutor, och hur ser denna i så fall u
The aim of this study is to examine the two novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme in the light of the theory of 'triangular desire', elaborated by René Girard in Mensonge romantique et vérité romanesque (1961). According to this theory, desire in Stendhal's novels – that is desire in a very general sense – is not spontaneous, but derived from a third part, that Girard labels the 'm
Avhandlingen belyser mötet mellan de konstnärliga och pedagogiska dimensionerna i lärares pedagogiska arbete. Genom att undersöka lärares erfarenheter av musikalproduktion i skolan avser studien att fördjupa kunskapen om det professionella lärararbetet som grundar sig i lärares pedagogiska och konstnärliga utövande och praktiska kunskap. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i en musikalproducerande verksaThe present thesis examines the meeting between the artistic and the pedagogical dimensions in the work of teachers. The main aim is to describe the learning in practice, emerging from a collective creative process. The point of departure is teachers' experience of a musical-production as part of the pedagogical work in school. Research questions are: 1) What are the implications of being a teach
Charge transport and recombination in nanostructured semiconductors are poorly understood key processes in dye-sensitized solar cells. We have employed time-resolved spectroscopies in the terahertz and visible spectral regions supplemented with Monte Carlo simulations to obtain unique information on these processes. Our results show that charge transport in the active solar cell material can be ve
This book, which presents a cognitive-semiotic theory of cultural evolution, including that taking place in historical time, analyses various cognitive-semiotic artefacts and abilities. It claims that what makes human beings human is fundamentally the semiotic and cultural skills by means of which they endow their Lifeworld with meaning. The properties that have made human beings special among ani
New combustion concepts are being investigated to develop cleaner engines. One of the most promising is partially premixed combustion. The mechanisms of this combustion mode and its impact on performance and emissions have been studied in the previous years. Nevertheless, little research has been done from the point of view of heat transfer. In particular, the influence of the injection strategy o
Historian David Lowenthal (1985) has pointed out the past is often perceived and represented as “a foreign country” in which cultural heritage is implicitly understood to be bound to geographical territories and associated notions of what it implies to have roots, an identity, and a place in which to belong. This is the paradigmatic background against which so many heritage museums have been found
As New Public Management reforms began to be implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, a greater degree of private involvement was introduced in the provision of services in the welfare sector, and some of the companies operating in the sector soon came to be acquired by private equity firms known for their aggressive strategies to increase profits. This study examines the extent to which two major pr
Revisorn med sin granskande funktion har sedan länge varit ett av de obligatoriska bolagsorganen i aktiebolaget, skadeståndsansvaret som sanktionerar eventuell vårdslöshet i revisorns uppdrag likaså. Den tidigare absoluta revisionsplikten som fanns i svensk rätt försvann 2010. Skadeståndet revisorer åläggs har de senaste åren varit högaktuellt, främst har felaktigheter i bl.a. årsredovisningen aIt has been compulsory to Swedish limited companies to appoint an auditor to examine the company’s annual report and accounts as well as the management by the board of directors and the managing director up until the year of 2010. The duty to appoint an auditor partly disappeared and is now optionable for smaller private limited companies. Even though it is an option almost 50 % out of all of the
Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
Arbetet söker besvara frågan: ger gällande rätt ett adekvat svar på det psykiska partnervåldets uppfattade allvar? Ur tillgänglig statistik framgår att psykiskt våld är den mest förekommande formen av partnervåld. Trots detta har det haft en perifer roll i debatt, lagstiftning och tillämpning tills nyligen. Frågan bygger på tesen att svensk straffrätt möter svårigheter i hantering av psykiskt pa
Digital Deception and Inoculation: A Quantitative Study on Strategic Communica-tion Tactics Against AI-Generated Images and the Role of Bullshit Receptivity This thesis investigates the effectiveness of inoculation treatment using prebunking techniques to develop psychological defenses against believing syn-thetic images online. The study focuses on the influence of Bullshit Receptivity levels, s
The fashion industry is one of the largest industries in the world, a multibillion dollar industry on the manufacturing and selling of clothes. With the rise of social media and digitalization of fashion, meaning that brands are carrying over to digital means of showcasing their products like social media, fashion trends have never been more accessible to the general market than ever. However, the
Background: while access to safe water in Uganda increased between the early 1990s and 2010, current studies are showing that many safe water sources are not being properly maintained and so end up being abandoned. Since the maintenance of safe water sources is under the jurisdiction of water user committees (WUCs), this study seeks to measure the ability of water user committees in mitigating a d
