This article aims to highlight how literary value is constructed today: how it is created and negotiated. It seeks to develop a perspective that considers the manifold and complex valuenegotiation process. In accordance with Barbara Herrnstein Smith, the article argues that literary value is generated by a constant and continuous series of negotiations between production and sale: the institution
It is well known how important belonging and to be part of something is for us humans and our well-being. Other utterly important foundations for us and our sense of freedom are safety and accessibility. LGBT-research has profoundly been conducted on larger cities, but lacking substratum on how mentioned factors affect people living in smaller cities. In this paper, I try through interviews unders
The battle for Aleppo culminated in the year 2016 when Syrian regime forces captured northern parts of Aleppo making a siege a reality for many people. A question of who was to blame isn’t always clear when looking at complex conflicts. People often look towards media to make meaning of such complexities. This paper examines two different news organizations, RT and CNN, role in depicting perpetrat
3D-utrskrivning och topologioptimering kan ses som det perfekta paret där varje part lyfter upp respektives bästa sida, topologioptimering optimerar styrkan mot ett volymvillkor och 3D-utskrivning möjliggör tillverkning. En ny metod presenteras som tar hänsyn till överhäng i 3D-utskrivning för att slippa eventuella stödstrukturer.Topology optimization answers the question "How to place the material within a prescribed design domain in order to obtain the best structural performance? " and the design obtained is usually complex. Additive manufacturing comes with a well known design freedom and the design provided by topology optimization can be manufactured without as many constraints as conventional manufacturing
Identity and being sami - a qualitative content analysis of sami people's stories about identity The aim of this study has been to analyze sami people’s stories about identity in Samefolket journal. Our intent was to find out if historical events was being portrated in their stories and to analyze what is including or excluding for sami identity. By doing a content analysis of 14 articles we
En Dold Markovmodell (HMM) kan användas för modellera tidsserier på ett sätt som beskriver olika beteenden under olika perioder; till exempel kan den beskriva finansiella tidsseriers benägenhet att plötsligt ändra riktning då marknadssentimentet förändras, exempelvis på grund av en pandemi. Givet en tidsserie, tänker man sig att den antar olika tillstånd som ej går att observera men som reflekteraThe Hidden Markov model is applicable to a wide variety of fields. Applied to financial time series, its assumed underlying state sequence can reflect the time series' tendency to behave differently over different periods of time. In many situations, models could be improved by including exogenous data. However, that may in some cases be inappropriate in practice as the model could get too mat
The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can als
In markets with fierce competition and low switching costs, the capability to keep customers is just as important as the capability to get new customers. One of the cornerstones of efficiently keeping customers from churning is the ability to identify customers that are more prone to leaving the company than others. This way, churn prevention resources and measures can be efficiently directed towa
The genetic underpinnings of ecological adaptations, such as host-plant use in herbivorous insects, is a vital area of research in evolutionary biology because they reveal how phenotypic variation arises and the extent to which this can happen through parallel mechanisms. This study provides unique insights into the genomic basis and gene expression changes in Tephritis conura's adaptation to
Context: Scope management is a core part of software release management and often a key factor in releasing successful software products to the market. In a market-driven case, when only a few requirements are known a priori, the risk of overscoping may increase. Objective: This paper reports on findings from a case study aimed at understanding overscoping in large-scale, market-driven software dev
Globaliseringen har lett till att ett nytt område inom varumärkesforskningen har vuxit fram, nation branding. Det råder delade meningar på forskningsfältet kring vad begreppet innebär, men den gemensamma nämnaren återfinns i att nation branding är en mer komplicerad variant av traditionell marknadsföring. Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap kring hur svenskhet konstrueras i nation branding, viGlobalization has led to the rise of a new field within brand research, nation branding. The opinions are separated on the research field, concerning the meaning of the term. The common denominator is though that nation branding is a more complicated version of traditional marketing. This study aims to contribute with knowledge about how Swedish culture is constructed in nation branding, through t
The purpose of this study is to illuminate what postnatal depression is and how it might affect a newborn child and its mother. We also want to clarify what potentially causes postnatal depression, how to prevent it and how to socially work with this problem. To figure this out, we decided to administer six interviews with professionals such as social workers, nurses, psychologists and others. The
Vid tunnelbygget genom Hallandsås i nordvästra Skåne har man stött på tre större vittringszoner och har periodvis haft problem med stort inflöde av vatten till tunnlarna. Detta vatten kommer från de ovan– och omkringliggande akvifärerna och dräneringen registreras som sjunkande grundvattennivåer i kontrollbrunnar på åsen. För att försöka skapa en bild av sprickakvifärernas utbredning i området ovaDuring the tunnel boring project through Hallandsås in the northwestern part of Skåne, large-scale weathering zones have been encountered and there have periodically been problems with great amounts of water leaking into the tunnels. This water comes from the above and surrounding aquifers and the drainage is registered as sinking groundwater levels in control wells on the ridge. In an attempt to
Tourism can be a difficult form of travel to define. In order to make working with tourism easier, the tourism industry often uses criteria and definitions that can limit understandings of tourism. An example is an often-common view in the tourism industry of visiting friends and relative (VFR) as unimportant. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research showing why VFR can be important to the
This research explored the relationship between new knowledge and increased awareness towards action and considered how the women participating in the ACCESS program in Netrakona in Bangladesh were acting upon their newly gained knowledge in terms of social and institutional change. Qualitative methods were used to capture the discursive change in the micro settings among the participants. In orde
A reliable electricity sector is imperative for the development and competitiveness of Costa Rica. During the last decade, electricity demand has been growing faster than the expansion of the power network, and the demand side efforts have been almost inexistent. Therefore, since 2007 the electricity sector of Costa Rica is in a vulnerable position. In fact, for 2014 energy shortages have been ant
The importance of gender differences during conflict and peace-building have raised as a specific area of study both in the academy as well as among global institutions such as the UN. Among those, there is almost a pre-assumption that strengthening women's movements is positive for a peaceful and just solution. However, they fail to address the complex relationships between the conflicting pa
The work towards a uniform system within the EU on how to handle international insolvency proceedings has taken more than 37 years. The council regulation on insolvency proceedings, adopted on May the 29th 2000, seeks to create a basis for mutual recognition of insolvency proceedings, to clarify which national rules apply to different issues within these proceedings and to give the liquidator inte
