This study considers the spread, character and development of the Swedish Enlightenment from the early Age of Liberty to the late Karl lohan period. This is done in six case studies three of them biographical and three of them of a more general character partly concerned with the history of concepts; all six case studies touch on the writers' world in the period. Chapter 1, "Dawn", discusses, aft
This research project presents an example of how students and teachers can work together to analyze Of Mice and Men. In this paper, critical theory is used as a form of scaffolding, in order to both develop students’ Theory of Mind (ToM) and make canonical literature more accessible. The research questions answered in this paper are concerned with asking how critical theory can be applied to the n

The purpose of this research study is to identify and analyse how different CEO characteristics can influence short-term M&A performance. In particular, personal aspects in regards to M&A decisions are examined within a European setting, covering the time period from 2004 until 2013. The defined hypotheses, based on previous empirical research studies, are tested by conducting multivariate
How sexual consent is evidence and operationalised in criminal courts affect not only sexual rights but also the implementation of social justice. While sexual consent is regarded as a protocol of agreement in vernacular practices, the legal definition is seemingly more complicated than a mutual agreement. There is very little research looking into the limits of sexual consent imposed by legal aut
Introduction. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in ethnographic research within the field of library and Information studies. Although ethnography has been used by information researchers for studying a wide variety of phenomena, discussions concerning methodological developments and directions, as well as ethnography’s wider applicability within the field are rare. Our intent is
Jag har gjort en kvalitativ, empirisk undersökning av explorativ karaktär gällande vilka hinder som finns för lärande inom organisationer. Jag genomförde kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer som arbetar som Arbetsförmedlare inom en mindre svensk kommun. Mitt syfte är att undersöka huruvida hinder för lärande är tydliga redan innan anställning och, om så är fallet, belysa vad som
Lack of political interest and will to deal with human rights violations carried out under the civil- military dictatorship, has characterized the transition and post-transition in Uruguay. The systematic use of torture, arbitrary imprisonments and forced disappearances in the relatively small country created a culture of fear that has been present through out the post-transition phase. Human righ
This thesis explores the relationship between French restrictive policies on the hijab and burqa and their impact on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Muslim women. It likely delves into the historical context of these policies, analyses the legality and implications of such restrictions, and considers the broader sociocultural and political factors at play. It further examines the inte
We offer an analysis of perceptual intersubjectivity (PI) in terms of two types (symmetric and asymmetric) and three levels: synchronous (SPI), coordinated (CPI) and reciprocal (RPI), defined on the basis of the observable behavior of the participants in a study of (non-verbal) social interaction. We hypothesize that the three levels constitute stages in the development and possibly evolution of h
I detta konferensbidrag ifrågasätter jag åsikten att litteraturteori inte bör läras ut på gymnasienivå. Enligt den franske litteraturteoretikern Tzvetan Todorov bör läraren på denna nivå endast lära ut litterära verk, inte teori. Teorin borde endast användas som ett osynligt verktyg. Min hypotes är att litteraturteorin kan användas framgångsrikt på gymnasiet. Viss insikt i teorin kan bidra till atIn this paper I challenge the opinion that literary theory should not be taught at upper secondary level. According to French literary theorist Tzvetan Todorov, the teacher at this level should aim at teaching literary works, not theory. Theory should only be used as an invisible instrument. My hypothesis is that literary theory can be used successfully at upper secondary level. A certain insight
History plays an important role in the philosophy of human rights, more so than in philosophical discussions on related concepts, such as justice. History tends to be used in order to make it credible that there is a tradition of rights as a moral idea, or an ethical ideal, that transcends national boundaries. In the example that I investigate in this chapter, this moral idea is tightly spun aroun
In Alingsås, a dry-cleaning facility was operated for many years, and huge amounts of the solvent PCE was spilled into the ground. This contributed to an increasing concentration of PCE over the years until the use of PCE was stopped, resulting in the formation of a DNAPL plume beneath the building. Treatment of contaminated soils in Sweden often includes excavation and landfilling, however in Ali
In this work a simplified approach to array optimization for the DC resistivity and induced polarization method have been created and tested. The optimization method uses the centre of the sensitivity function for the individual electrode configurations, called the mass centre, which is spread over the area of investigation, wherefrom the name Spread of Mass Centre (SMC). This array has been teste
Background: Satisfaction with antenatal care could differ depending on the organisation and the context of care. Aim: To compare antenatal care in Australia and Sweden, to identify deficiencies in the content of antenatal care and what aspects contributed most in dissatisfaction with antenatal care. Methods: A longitudinal survey of 123 Australian and 386 Swedish women recruited during one year in
