Twitter took off as a political tool with the 2016 election and it became a space for personal attacks directed to and between politicians. This study focuses on the Squad, four female politicians representing minorities and their use of Twitter in the months before the US election of 2020. The focus is on political semantic violence with Krook’s theory used for analysis. Burke’s identity theory i
Under min tid som arkitektstudent har jag lärt mig att arkitektur handlar om att arbeta med representationer; hur en fysisk form gestaltas med en inneboende kommunikationsförmåga. Arkitektur verkar genom den mänskliga perception av ett observerat fenomen, inom den sfär där människan relaterar till den fysiska formen. Ämnet arkitektur befinner sig i gränslandet mellan människan och formen. I mitt
Det förekommer i dagsläget att det bildas tillfälliga fastigheter för exploateringsändamål. Anledningen till att de bildas är att exploatören vill få lagfart och möjlighet att belåna fastigheten tidigare, i jämförelse med att exempelvis vänta tills det att hela området har genomgått en slutgiltig fastighetsbildning för t.ex. bostadsfastigheter. Trots sina fördelar hindras denna fastighetsbildning
Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos
Boken Omgiven av idioter och DISA/DISC-modellen som ligger till grund för boken har väckt stor debatt i Sverige. Samtidigt som personlighetstester baserade på modellen har stor spridning anklagas den för att sakna vetenskapligt stöd. I den här uppsatsen gör jag en pragmadialektisk analys av debatten kring modellens vetenskaplighet. Jag analyserar dels hur Thomas Erikson, författaren till Omgiven a
During the production of Axis's cameras, the optics modules have to do a number of tests and calibrations that are performed in different test stations. The test and calibration sequence differs between different models. This has so far been done manually by having operators move the units between test stations. However, Axis are planning to automate the procedure by having an industrial robot
Arkitektur i samarbete är ett examensarbete som undersöker ett samarbete med en scoutkår och beskriver en gestaltningsprocess i detalj. Scouting är en rörelse som bygger och examensarbetet är på så sätt även ett utforskande i scoutbyggande. Hur kan arkitekter beskriva processen fram till en byggd form istället för den byggda formen? Vad kan vi lära oss av beskrivningen av processen? En önskan i e
This research paper analyzes the effect of growing environmental concern on home bias in the European Union. Using the latest release of the International Trade and Production Database for Estimation, for the years 2002-2016, the home bias is estimated with the gravity model of trade. The Eurobarometer “Public Opinion in the European Union” is used as a proxy for environmental concern over the sam
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss which approach and mindset is most optimal when creating a recording as a classical musician. This thesis examines and compares the differences between the practise of creating a recording and live performance predominantly from the perspective of the performer. Firstly, a review of literature from the field is made followed by a reflection of my own person
The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. Despite restoration projects already being i
Introduction: The MP2RAGE technique has become popular for structural MRI at ultra-high fields. The core idea behind MP2RAGE is to reduce the influence of flip angle inhomogeneity (B +), proton density and T2* by calculating the regularized signed ratio of two complex MP-RAGE images acquired at different inversion times (TI) within the cycle. From this MP2RAGE signal, the underlying T1 relaxation
Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida Riksbankens utförande av kvantitativa lättnader mellan 2015 och 2018 har haft signifikanta effekter på inkomstfördelningen i Sverige. Två potentiellt inkomstfördelande kanaler studeras genom en serie av panelregressioner på decilindelad data över kapital – och arbetsinkomster i Sverige mellan 1995 och 2018. Undersökningen finner inget bevis för en inkomstutjämande kan
This paper employs a zombie classification following (Storz et al., 2017) to examine the phenomenon of zombie firms and low interest rates in Denmark using a comprehensive harmonized firm-level micro dataset from ORBIS covering the period 2002-2019. Specifically, the questions addressed are whether the prevalence of zombie firms increased due to low interest rates and has surviving as a zombie bec
This thesis investigates how Vicke Lindstrand’s public sculpture Legend i glas, located in Teaterparken in Växjö, can be related to its location and spatial context in terms of meaning, function and reception. Central questions asked are: How do changes in the direct surroundings affect the situation of reception? How does that affect the meaning and function of the sculpture? To what extent is me
Most authorities in Sweden provide an English language version of their web sites, in the form of a translation or an adaptation of the Swedish original text. The first part of this thesis includes an analysis of the linguistic quality of a selection of texts from authorities on three administrative levels: state, regional and municipal. The second part investigates the correlation between linguis
Context: Urban air pollution is considered a significant factor contributing to increased respiratory and cardiovascular mortality in cities. Many studies focused on the relationship between exposure to diesel exhaust and human health effects, demonstrating the toxicity of such gases. Biodiesel is described as a more carbon-neutral alternative to petroleum derivatives, but few studies have been co
The generation of phenotypes in nature is not boundless. They are governed by natural selection as well as genetic and developmental processes that precede selection. When the developmental process itself is biased, it promotes or prevents certain phenotypes from being formed which in turn could impact the course of evolution. Despite the solid theory behind developmental bias, its exact influence
Nature is in many ways crucial for human survival. However, due to human activity and exploitation, unique species and habitats are at risk of extinction. The forest is one habitat that has been deeply afflicted. A massive loss of forests worldwide due to intense forestry has led to a defeat of biodiversity. Saproxylic beetles is one group of forest dwellers that has been affected by habitat loss.
Acoustic trapping in microfluidic devices has emerged over the last decades as a promising novel cell handling technique. The unique properties exhibited by fluids at the microscale offer many advantages compared to the conventional methods. Here we investigate how effective a multinodal acoustic trapping device is for several essential cell handling procedures such as cell enrichment and staining
