This thesis is a study of women in Belfast in two working-class ethno-national communities: Falls (Catholic/Nationalist/Republican) and Shankill (Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist). Theories of gendered nationalism and transversalism are used to analyze the material from a qualitative interview study. The study focuses on intersections of gender and nation: women’s identity as biological, cultural and
This thesis is located at the intersection of two concepts: accountability in and communication for development. Two review chapters provide an overview of their general reception in the development discourse, relevant definitions and the significance both concepts have gained for the work of development NGOs. Within each concept the thesis focuses on a particular aspect: downward accountability a
In the United States of America media and the press have the important role of being ”the fourth estate of government” which means that American media has the task to examine the political processes taking place within the country, as well as the USA's actions abroad. The importance of media not being biased or not framing certain kind of information cannot be overemphasized, but despite this,
This article investigates the relationship between the economic influences a country has and how the market has observed by 10-year government bond yields through a set of macroeconomic variables. It examines a set of OECD countries between 1980 and 2013 dividing them into two groups namely the G7 group and small countries, even though the specific effect of the USA is investigated as well. The Pa
Although the communication aspects of sport and football organizations are receiving in-creased scholarly attention, research from the perspective of fans of such organizations has mostly been neglected. This study problematizes the gap that exists be-tween the current social media communication of football organizations, that tend to be guided by commercial interests, and the expectation of fans
Marketization of the humanitarian system and the financial independence is thought to have an impact on humanitarian organisations’ behavior. With an increased insecurity for aid-workers and thus investment in aid-worker security management, research on this matter is pressing. This thesis seeks to examine the characteristics of the relationship between humanitarian organisations’ financial (in)de
The purpose of this study was to investigate how the mental illness of the elderly was constructed in the newspapers Göteborgs-Posten and Sydsvenskan during the years 2016 to 2018. The study also examined the causes that are described as being behind the mental illness of the elderly and if mental illness of the elderly is described as a societal problem. The study has its roots in social construc
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

In-band full-duplex has emerged as an attractive solution for significantly enhancing the throughput of wireless communication systems by doubling the spectrum efficiency compared to conventional half-duplex systems. However, the existence of self-interference is a significant barrier to operate full-duplex systems. In order to cancel the self-interference by analog and digital solutions, time syn
Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight
It is amidst the digital saturation of life, globalised interconnections, and accelerated global AI market growth that we are witnessing today that new complexities and challenges emerge in strategically navigating these environments. This thesis explores the emerging dynamics of strategy and Big Data and Artificial Intelligence through a qualitative research design employing semi-structured exper
Giant cell arteritis is a disease the affects the arteries, for example the temporal artery. When affecting the temporal artery, it can cause serious consequences such as blindness and stroke. The existing methods for diagnosing the disease are invasive, time consuming and costly. Ultrasound would therefore be an attractive diagnostic alternative providing a lot of benefits. Information about the
In this thesis I have tried to understand this great complexity in architecture, when an oppressive architecture can be considered an architectural masterpiece. This conflict is embodied by Palazzo della Civiltà. Italiana. A monument built with the intentions to host an exhibition celebrating 20 years of fascism, is now 80 years later, rented by the luxury fashion house Fendi due to its mesmerizin
Mental illness among the elderly is a problemarea that requiers further research to increase knowledge. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate how the elderly’s mental health are prioriticed in elderly care, talked about by first-line managers and nursing staff in elderly care and also to investige possibilities for prevention of mental illness. The studie was conducted through qualita
Barnfridsbrottet infördes för att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för barn som bevittnar brott mellan närstående. Även om rättsväsendet i och med den nya regleringen har fått verktyg att synliggöra och hjälpa dessa barn, finns en faktor som resulterar i en särbehandling av dem i rättstillämpningen. Denna faktor utgörs av lagrummets närståenderekvisit, som kräver att det utsatta barnet ska vara This thesis presents the new offense that was introduced in order to strengthen the protection of children who witness certain crimes committed between relatives or other persons whom the child can be considered to have an emotional attachment to. Even though the criminalisation has enabled the legal system to identify and assist these children to a greater extent, a factor remains which results i
