Henriksson, Amadeus. "Ideal i dagens planeringspraktik : Teorier och ideals inverkan på den svenska översiktsplaneringen". Thesis, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Institutionen för fysisk planering, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:bth-14409.

En strategisk fysisk planering har under flera år varit något som förespråkats från statligt håll i Sverige, men trots detta så har idealen inte fått något tydligt fäste i den kommunala planeringen. Det är utifrån detta glapp mellan teori och praktik som arbetet har sin utgångspunkt, där syftet är att skapa en förståelse för planeringsprocessens underliggande ideal, sättet som idealen påverkar planeringen och anledningen till att glappet mellan teori och praktik har uppkommit. Dagens planeringspraktik studeras utifrån sex översiktsplaneprocesser, där ideal från den rationella, kommunikativa och strategiska planeringen identifieras och lyfts fram. Utifrån intervjuer gjorda med kommunala planerare så dras slutsatsen att dagens översiktsplanering främst är baserad på ett rationellt ideal, vilket synliggörs av den systematik och regelstyrning som finns i processen och genom den tydliga rollfördelning som finns mellan planerare och politiker. Uppsatsen visar också på att den kommunikativa teorin inte har fått det genomslag som planeringsdebatten möjligen ger sken av, utan har främst inneburit att ett större antal aktörer inkluderas i processen och att det skapats en bredare kunskapssyn. Den strategiska fysiska planeringen har främst inkluderats genom användandet av visioner, men där dessa är begränsade till att ge en riktning åt den kommunala planeringen och utgår inte från teorins konsensusbyggande eller aktörsmobiliserande aspekter. Arbetet visar på att idealet om en strategisk fysisk planering, som förespråkas från statligt håll, inte har fått något genomslag eftersom praktiker eftersträvar ett rationellt ideal snarare än ett strategiskt. Ett första steg för att glappet mellan teori och praktik ska minska skulle i så fall vara att praktiker och statliga myndigheter eftersträvar samma ideal. Det går att härleda det rationella idealet bland planerare till att planeringssystemet i sig är rationellt uppbyggt och att planerare endast i liten utsträckning går utöver de lagstadgade kraven i sitt arbete. Glappet mellan teori och praktik har därför förstärkts av att planeringssystemet inte har förändrats i tillräckligt utsträckning, men har också påverkats av att planerare inte aktivt reflekterar över sättet som de arbetar på. Samtidigt bemöts de kommunikativa och strategiska idealen som fått genomslag av ett starkt motstånd från det rationella planeringssystemet, vilka gör att de endast delvis kunnat bli implementerade.

This research undertaken through photographic studio practice and theory is the culmination of a four-year study into the nature of intimacy that answers the question: How can photographic practice assist our quest for intimacy with an ideal Other? Working closely with a number of adult volunteer participants living in South-East Queensland, the work commenced by mapping the intimate relationships between people, objects and space in bedrooms. Some of the initial works dealt with notions of sexual intimacy, because this is the most common understanding of intimacy in our society today, but the bedroom is also the place for other kinds of intimacy, such as contemplation or reading, and whether we are young or old, bedrooms are also used as a repository for intimate keepsakes and mementos. Intimacy is difficult to define, and furthermore, the meaning of the term has changed over the centuries. Intimacy is not a place, or a thing, or a person. One of the better definitions, by Thomas Moore, states, The word intimacy means profoundly interior. It comes from the superlative form of the Latin word inter, meaning within. It could be translated within-est, or most within. In our intimate relationships, the most within dimensions of ourselves and the other are engaged. Therefore, it is a feeling that we might recognise in a moment with a partner, or a particular landscape, or the thoughts evoked by an object like a photograph, and most often these feelings concern ourselves and other people. While accepting that most photography (and human experience for that matter) is not intimate, snapshot and documentary portraiture often record moments of intimacy, revealing for example, the expression of another persons face and subverting the barriers that usually mask our inner selves. But the photography in this project refused the relatively easy option of portraiture. Instead, in its final form, it sought to develop responses from the viewer to unusual conjunctions of skin and cloth that evoke looking, touch and shape and by implication suggest more historic ideas of intimacy than those commonly based on sexual intimacy today. The work shows that intimacy has aspects to it that are uncanny (in the Freudian sense), that intimacy does not always have to be invested in interpersonal human relationships, and that keeping aspects of oneself from others and knowing oneself can offer a richer experience of intimacy than giving oneself in the all-or-nothing tradition of Romanticism. The research also demonstrates that scholarly and common notions of intimacy based respectively on interpersonal relationships and sex are often reductive and partial within a desire for an authentic experience of intimacy, because they are usually based on the binary oppositions that underpin Western thought. To counter these tendencies, the theory and practice in this research evidences a middle way centred on androgyny within male psychosexual development, expressed through the psychological theories of the desire between the Self and Other that can collapse the binary oppositions of masculine/feminine and thereby offer new insights into gender, self and interpersonal relationships. These ideas are suggested by the studio practice that constitutes the final body of artworks the Intimacy Series plus the analytical and theoretical research that supports my conclusions, and my observations of the responses to the works by audiences at exhibitions. In my experience, the mix of pleasure, intrigue and uncertainty that audiences exhibit suggests that they are often caught by the Lacanian gaze of the artworks, which suggests a more complex range of characteristics within intimacy than is usually recognized today.

There is an ongoing interest in analyzing the flow characteristics of swimming fish. Biology has resulted in some very efficient motions and formulating these motions is of interest to engineers. One such theory was written by Dr. William Vorus and Dr. Brandon Taravella involving ideal efficiency. It is therefore interesting to test the calculations to see if it is possible to design a motion that can create thrust without necessarily creating vorticity. The computational fluid dynamics software of ANSYS Fluent was used to calculate the resulting flow field of the eel motion to compare with the theoretical values.

Studenters uppfattning om stalkning skiljer sig åt. Kvinnor anser att flerh ändelser är stalkning medan män tänker att händelserna inte klassificeras som stalkning. Män tänker även att det oftare är offrets egna fel att denne blir utsatt. Det finns ideala brottsoffer och icke-ideala brottsoffer, vilket har att göra med brottsoffrets karaktärstyp. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur studenter uppfattar brottsoffrets utsatthet, beroende på om brottsoffret är idealt eller icke-idealt. Studien har använt en mixed design vilket innebär att de finns både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ analys. Undersökningen genomfördes på så sätt att respondenter fick läsa en av två berättelser och besvara en tillhörande enkät. Resultaten visar att det finns skillnader i män och kvinnors uppfattning. Kvinnor ansåg att brottsoffrens utsatthet var lika allvarligt oavsett karaktärstyp medan män ansåg att det ideala brottsoffrets utsatthet var allvarligare än det icke-ideala. Kvinnor uppfattar däremot att det icke-ideala brottsoffret hade utsatts för stalkning i högre utsträckning än det ideala, medan män bedömde motsatsen. Respondenterna ansåg att brottsoffren skulle hantera sin utsatta position genom att bland annat anmäla och kontakta sina närstående. Det övergripande resultatet i studien visar att majoriteten studenter uppfattar stalkning som allvarligt men skillnaden är hur allvarligt respondenterna anser att utsattheten är.Students perception on stalking differ. Women consider that more casesare stalking while men consider that these cases do not classifies asstalking. Men is more often thinking that it is the victims own fault thathe or she is a victim of crime. There is ideal victims and non-idealvictims, which depending on the victims’ characteristics. The purposewith this study is to examine how students perceive the victims’vulnerability, depending on if the victim is an ideal victim or non-ideal.The study has used a mixed design which means that there will be bothquantitative results and qualitative results. The study was conductedthat the respondents read one out of two cases and then answered aquestionnaire. The results show that there are differences between menand women’s perceptions. Women consider the victims exposure to beequally severe while men consider the ideal victim’s exposure onstalking to be more severe than the non-ideal. Women however,perceive that the non-ideal victim had been exposed to stalking ingreater extent than the ideal victim while men consider the opposite.The respondents consider that the victims should handle theirvulnerable positions through reporting to the police and contact theirrelatives. The overall result of the study shows that the majority of thestudents perceive stalking as severe but the differences lays in howsevere the students perceive there is.

Alsharifi, Thamir. "Differential Mobility Classifiers in the Non-Ideal Assembly". VCU Scholars Compass, 2019. https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/6054.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The differential mobility classifier (DMC) is one of the core components in electrical mobility particle sizers for sizing sub-micrometer particles. Designing the DMC requires knowledge of the geometrical and constructional imperfection (or tolerance). Studying the effects of geometrical imperfection on the performance of the DMC is necessary to provide manufacturing tolerance and it helps to predict the performance of geometrically imperfect classifiers, as well as providing a calibration curve for the DMC. This thesis was accomplished via studying the cylindrical classifier and the parallel plate classifier. The numerical model was built using the most recent versions of COMSOL Multiphysics® and MATLAB®.
For the cylindrical DMC, two major geometrical imperfections were studied: the eccentric annular classifying channel and the tilted inner cylinder/rod. For the parallel-plates DMC, the first study examined for the perfectly designed plates to optimize its dimensions and working conditions, while the second study conducted the plates’ parallelism. For both DMCs, a parametric study was conducted for several tolerances under various geometrical factors (i.e., channel length, width, spacing, cylinders radii, etc…), flow conditions (i.e., sheath-to-aerosol flow ratio, total flow rate), and several particles sizes.
The results show that the transfer function deteriorated as the geometrical imperfection increased (i.e., the peak is reduced and the width at the half peak height is broadened). The parallel- plates DMC results show that the aspect ratio of the classifying channel cross-section (width-to-height) was recommended to be above 8. Particle diffusivity reduces the effect of geometrical imperfection, especially for particle sizes less than 10 nm.

The purpose of this study is to review the norms and ideals within the area of motorsports. The main focus is within circuit racing and particularly Formula one, WEC, World Endurance Championship, and the Le Mans 24h race. Furthermore, the ambition is to examine culture within the sports as well as what it will take to reach a professional level as a driver in a major racing series. A total of three (3) interviews have been conducted to further deepen the question at issue. Alongside the interviews, two (2) observations has been executed internationally to study the theories on site of racing events. The gathered material has since been analyzed and two perspectives have emerged: The image of the sport; and the image of the driver. From the two (2) perspectives, we can derive more subordinate perspectives. Derived from the image of the sport the following perspectives arose: danger and rivalry. From the image of the driver the following three perspectives can be procured; the vulnerable driver, the perfectionist as well as the (un)healthy driver. The result is pointing to a sport in constant alteration. From the incipient events of motorsport leading up to present, there has been a substantial development both within the sport itself as well as from a driver perspective. As the sport evolved from notoriously dangerous and potentially lethal to relatively safe, other elements have emerged and become major factors such as individualism, rivalry and politics. With a larger commercialization and professionalization, the demands of the driver have increased substantially. The driver needs to be more complete than ever, both on the track as well as off the track.

I denna rapport undersöks hur vackra stadsmiljöer kan skapas med estetiskt motiverad utformning och dekorativa element samt hur detta kan göras med äldre ideal. För att få en inblick i hur synen på dessa frågor kan se ut i dagsläget gjordes en kort litteraturstudie där exempel på argument från debatten sammanställdes. Därefter genomfördes en fallstudie för Sankt Eriksområdet som analyserades utifrån frågeställningen hur vackra miljöer skapats i detta projekt samt hur äldre ideal tillämpats. Resultaten från litteraturstudien och fallstudien knyts ihop i en avslutande diskussion. Det konstateras att Sankt Eriksområdets gestaltningsarbete inte hade som syfte att skapa vackra miljöer men att det däremot funnits en arkitektonisk ambition om att skapa ett område med kontinuitet och variation i harmoni. Detta innebar ett arbetssätt som i flera avseenden påminner om det som förespråkarna av ”vacker” arkitektur i litteraturstudien efterfrågar. Gestaltningsarbetet har haft platsen som utgångspunkt. Denna ligger i Stockholms innerstad som till större delen byggdes under den gamla stenstadens tid. Det föll sig därför naturligt att genomföra projektet med inspiration från äldre ideal men samtidigt anpassat efter projektets specifika förutsättningar. Det som byggdes var ingen kopia av stenstaden men å andra sidan gestaltades det efter samma principer.This report investigates how aesthetically motivated design and decorative elements could be used in order to create beautiful urban environments and how this could be achieved with traditional design. In order to gain some insight in how those questions are viewed today, a short literature study was made in which examples of arguments used in the debate were put together. Thereafter a case study was carried out which searched to answer the questions how beautiful environments were created in the building project of Sankt Eriksområdet in Stockholm and how this was made with traditional design. The results from the literature study and the case study were then finally summarized and discussed together. The conclusion is made that Sankt Eriksområdet wasn’t designed with the specific purpose to create beautiful environments. On the other hand there was an architectural ambition with the purpose to create continuity and variation in harmony and the work to achieve this goal reminds of what the proponents of “beautiful” architecture in the literature study asks for. The projects design was based on its location. Since the place of the project was located in the inner city of Stockholm, which largely consists of old and traditionally designed buildings, the implementation of traditional design became a naturally choice. Together with traditional design the project was designed to suit the specific conditions of the place and therefore the result wasn’t a copy of the inner city but a unique result built after the same principles.

In this thesis, a phenomenological approach is taken as the purpose is to discuss how the healthcare experiences of Swedish patients with chronic illness are affected by political state reforms and governing technologies. The thesis compares the discourse of Swedish healthcare policy with the discourse of healthcare in practice. Swedish healthcare has gone through major changes during the past decades, which have affected the state-to-patient relationship. This shift involved a transfer of responsibility from the state to its citizens, enabled through patient empowerment. In this change, a new ideal patient-role emerged, which is the patient as an informed and active consumer. What this thesis shows is the existence of a discrepancy between the ideal patient-role in governmental writing and the same ideal patient-role in the reality of the healthcare system. The ethnography consists of a literature study of healthcare policy documents and interviews with ten informants about their experiences of healthcare, in connection with the chronic diseases that affected their lives. The aim has been to examine the governing qualities of healthcare policy and practice, implementing Foucault’s theory of governmentality and technologies of the self.

The general purpose of this research is to contribute to the comprehension of how the subject is involved in the contemporary society. In order to achieve this objective, we limit ourselves to discussing how the operation of the superego can be of great help in understanding the capitalism characterized by the incessant consumption of merchandise. First, we adopt the ideas that superego is structural in the subject and that, no matter what social configurations, it points out the lack and orders the seek for total jouissance. In order to show these both notions are accurate and understand the theories related to the concept in details, we conduct a careful study based on the main formulations of Freud and Lacan. Despite the fact that this study doesn t take into account what Lacan says after 1964, it s possible to prove that superego is related to the entrance into the culture and that it maintains its structure of jouissance imperative in every society. From this point on, we discuss the superego course of action in contemporary society articulating it with the Other ideal. While superego presents an injunction without a specific content and related to the Real, the Other, although invariable in its symbolic structure, is influenced by historical aspects. The Other ideal, influenced by capitalism that promotes consumption, offers the subject of the desire, characterized by the lack, the fantasy that the total jouissance is possible through buying what is sold by the market. From our point of view, present capitalism takes advantage of the structure of the superego, which always points out the lack of the subject and orders the search for jouissance. Superego is important to the adherence to consumption because without its injunctions the Other ideal wouldn t have any imperative strength. The presence of the superego, as a look that observes and a voice that criticizes, is essential to the consumption as the Other ideal. Without it, it would not act as an imperative. This research shows that the theory of superego has to be considered when we intend to understand how the subject is implicated in contemporary capitalism
O intuito do presente trabalho é contribuir para a compreensão de como o sujeito está implicado na sociedade contemporânea. Para tal feito, buscamos pensar como a instância psíquica supereu pode auxiliar no entendimento do capitalismo caracterizado pelo consumo incessante de mercadorias. Partimos do posicionamento de que o supereu é estrutural do sujeito e que, independentemente das configurações sociais, denuncia a falta e ordena a busca pelo gozo pleno. Para defender nossa posição teórica e melhor entender as teorizações existentes sobre o conceito, realizamos um levantamento das principais formulações freudianas e lacanianas sobre o assunto. Apesar de nossa retomada da teoria psicanalítica não ultrapassar o ano de 1964, foi possível considerar que o supereu está relacionado com a entrada na cultura e mantém sua estrutura de imperativo de gozo em qualquer configuração social. Refletimos sobre a atuação do supereu na sociedade contemporânea articulando a instância psíquica em questão e o ideal do Outro. Enquanto o supereu traz uma injunção sem atributo específico e relacionada ao registro real, o Outro, apesar de invariável em sua estrutura simbólica, é influenciado pelas características do contingente histórico. O ideal do Outro, influenciado pelo capitalismo que incentiva o consumo, oferece ao sujeito do desejo, caracterizado pela falta, a fantasia de que o gozo pleno é possível pelo consumo. A nosso ver, o capitalismo atual parece tirar proveito da estrutura do supereu, que sempre denuncia a falta do sujeito e opera mandatos de gozo pleno. O supereu é importante para a aderência ao consumo, visto que, sem a sua injunção de busca pelo gozo, ideal do Outro não teria sua força imperativa. Faz-se necessária a presença do supereu, como olhar que vigia e voz que critica, para que o consumo como ideal do Outro atue como um imperativo. A presente pesquisa demarca que a teoria sobre o supereu deve ser considerada quando se pretende entender como o sujeito está implicado no capitalismo contemporâneo

The focus of this study is to examine the aesthetics due to a new residential area, Glasberga Sjöstad, located in the outskirts of Södertälje. During the first construction process in the housing estate, some of the buildings appeared not familiar to the Swedish norm, and they did not fit into the concept Garden City, “trädgårdsstaden”. The main research question is to investigate the aesthetics and planning ideals according to the forming of Glasberga Sjöstad and the study focus on the lack of consistency between the vision and the everyday-reality. Another important starting-point is questions about ethnic segregation and aspects of power relations between a majority and a minority in the society. Former research points at causal factors as socioeconomic imbalances and class-aspects as important to understand the ethnic- and race segregated Swedish society, and the main research question in this study, is to add a focus on the aesthetics as an important aspect and more, to pay attention to the middleclass-citizens. The study is built upon in-depth interviews with residents in Glasberga Sjöstad and analyses of planning documents and aesthetic guidelines due to the construction process. The material shows that the aesthetic guidelines are built upon former ideals and it also shows that the inhabitant of Glasberga pay less attentions to the aesthetics of the houses, than to the social relations with their neighbours. The outcome of this study proposes the aesthetics as an important matter in planning and power practices, and proposes for a more open-minded way to embrace and include cultural diversity.

Medias roll i samhället är stor och den spelar en viktig roll i hur samhället ska kunna få ny information om vad som sker runt om i världen. Kvällstidningar rapporterar dagligen om politiska, kulturella och även brottsliga händelser som sker och nyheterna når tusentals människor som får ta del av det. Detta gör att media har ett stort ansvar på sina axlar med att utge opartiska, neutrala och informativa artiklar om det som ämnas att läsas. I denna studie undersöktes hur media framställer olika offer, baserat på den utsattes livssituation, plats för brottet samt vilket sorts brott de utsatts för. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av en tematisk analys, där tre kända fall i Sverige valdes ut för att sedan jämföra och analysera hur media framställer de brottsutsatta. Resultaten påvisar att media har en tendens att framställa brottsutsatta på olika sätt baserat på bland annat deras livssituation och deras bakgrund. Vidare visade det även att medias rapportering av brottsoffer kan vara mer omfattande beroende på hur väl en brottshändelse kan få andra människor att identifiera sig med den brottsutsatta och deras familj.Media plays a big role in society and is partially responsible for how people in the society receives information about what is happening around the world. Newspapers are daily reporting about political, cultural and even criminal, events that occur, and the news is reached by thousands of people to read. This means that media has a lot of responsibility on their shoulders by giving out impartial, neutral and informative articles for people to read. In this study, we sought to investigate how media presents different types of victims, based on their life situation, the scene of the crime and also what type of crime they were victims of. The study was performed with a thematic analysis, where three known cases in Sweden was chosen, these were then compared and analysed in how they were presented in the media. The results of the study show that media have a tendency to present victims of crime different, depending on their life situation and their background. Furthermore, it showed that media's coverage on victims of crime can be more extensive, depending on how well a crime can make other people identify with the victim and its family.

The aim of this essay was to examine how crime victims are portrayed in the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. Previous research has shown that the media tends to focus on the dramatic aspect of a criminal incident, and the victim is often portrayed in a positive way and the perpetrator in a negative. The material of this essay consisted of twelve news articles from four different murder cases, which has been analyzed with a content analysis. The theoretical points of this essay were the theory about The ideal victim and The framing theory. The results from the analysis showed that crime victims are often portrayed as innocent and in a positive way. Although, if the victim used to have a deviant behavior, he was portrayed in a more negative way. The conclusions of this essay were that the two newspapers portrayed the victims fairly similarly and focused on the positive characteristics of the crime victim. In general, Aftonbladet had a more descriptive and dramatic portrayal of the victim than Dagens Nyheter.Syftet med denna uppsats var att närmare studera hur brottsoffer gestaltades i de svenska tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet. Tidigare forskning har visat på att media tenderar att fokusera på dramatiken i händelsen där offer ofta gestaltas som positiva och gärningspersoner som negativa. Uppsatsens material bestod av tolv nyhetsartiklar från fyra olika mordfall som analyserades med en innehållsanalys. Uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter var teorin om det ideala offret och gestaltningsteorin. Resultatet från analysen visade att brottsoffren till stor grad gestaltades som positiva och oskyldiga i nyhetsartiklarna. Däremot om offret sen tidigare hade ett avvikande beteende gestaltades personen på ett mer negativt sätt. Slutsatserna från uppsatsen var att båda tidningarna gör relativt lika gestaltningar där fokuset ligger på brottsoffrets positiva egenskaper. Aftonbladet gestaltade i överlag brottsoffren mer beskrivande och dramatiskt än vad Dagens Nyheter gjorde.

This study was conducted to identify what principles leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were teaching women about their gender roles and expectations from 2000 through 2007, and to investigate whether age, marital status, or media exposure correlated with women's perceptions of levels of importance of those concepts to both their leaders and to themselves personally. This study used deductive and inductive framing analyses to examine visiting teaching messages and General Conference Relief Society talks published in the Ensign, the official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The study built on those results to create a survey conducted with LDS women living in Cache Valley, Utah, in 2008. Survey results provided insight into levels of importance LDS women living in Cache Valley assigned to doctrinal and cultural concepts surrounding the "ideal Mormon woman." The doctrine reflected an overwhelming emphasis on both inner spiritual characteristics and religiously motivated actions. Lack of correlation between exposure to either visiting teaching messages or General Conference talks and what the women said Church leaders thought was important indicated some disconnect between what was being taught and what the LDS women reported. Although leaders' priorities were revealed by the frequency with which they taught individual components of the doctrine, the women did not recognize those priorities. Instead, they perceived that nearly everything was very important or important to their leaders. The women also indicated that although religiously motivated actions were very important, inner spiritual characteristics were even more important to them personally. Although the women reported inner spiritual characteristics as more important, they were also taking on responsibilities for those behaviors that may be more visible and easily compared to others. Exposure to General Conference talks correlated highly with how important survey items were to the women personally, which may indicate a channel of communication that is working for Church leaders. Statistically significant correlations in women's perceptions about what their leaders think and what they think personally were also found according to age and marital status, but there are not consistent trends that can be easily summarized.

1 juli 2020 trädde en ny straffskärpningsgrund i laga kraft, som innebar att hedersmotiv ska utgöra en försvårande omständighet. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka skillnaden mellan hur tingsrätten och åklagaren motiverar och argumenterar kring hedersmotivet i sex utvalda domar, innan och efter straffskärpningsgrunden. Vi valde att göra en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av dessa domar och valde ut materialet med hjälp av ett kriteriestyrt urval. De teorier vi valde att utgå från var det ideala offret och kulturkriminologi. Vår analys av domarna resulterade i ett flertal mönster, som exempelvis: kontrollbehov hos gärningspersonen och övervåld. Vi drog slutsatsen att både tingsrätten och åklagaren redan innan straffskärpningsgrunden tillkom tog hänsyn till hedersmotivet, på så sätt att man ansåg att brottet var särskilt hänsynslöst.On the 1st of July 2020 a new increase in the severity of a penalty gained legal effect. This means that a crime where the motive is honour-related is supposed to be seen as an aggravating circumstance. The purpose with our study is to examine the difference between how the court and prosecutor motivates and argue around the motive before and after the increased penalty.The method we chose was a qualitative content analysis and we chose the sentences with a criteria-driven selection. The theories that we chose were the ideal victim and cultural criminology. Our analysis resulted in a few patterns: need of control from the perpetrator and assault. Our conclusion is that both the court and the prosecutor before the increased penalty took the honour-related motive into account because they saw the crime as especially ruthless.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Although confusion about the genre of New Woman Ella D'Arcy's only novella has resulted in a lack of scholarship, The Bishop's Dilemma can now be read as a social commentary that reaches beyond the New Woman subversion of the Victorian marriage plot, broadening the gender discussion at the fin-de-siècle. In this essay, I examine how D'Arcy uses Catholicism as a vehicle to create a unique space in the Catholic ritual of the confession that gives her reader privileged access to Victorian manhood. I argue that by placing her examination of masculinity in the context of the Catholic priesthood, D'Arcy renders her protagonist, Herbert Fayler, unable to use the convention of marriage as a means of subjugation or salvation of Dilemma's female characters, removing the marriage plot as a framework for the tension in the text and leaving Fayler's masculinity vulnerable to his own self-censure. I conclude that D'Arcy does not condemn Fayler any more than she blames the New Woman characters of her earlier short stories for their plight, but rather, D'Arcy constructs a figure of masculinity that exposes dangers present when men are groomed in a romanticized world with idealized notions of masculine life.

The present manuscript deals with the statistical mechanics of some inviscid fluidmodels which are possibly relevant in the context of geophysics and astrophysics. Weinvestigate the case of axially symmetric flows, two-dimensional Boussinesq flows, andtwo-dimensional magneto-hydro fluids. Those flows can be loosely referred to as twodimensionalflows with three components ("2D3C"). In addition to the two-dimensionalvelocity field, they describe the evolution of an additional field variable, which representseither a magnetic current, a salinity, a temperature or a swirl depending on the situation.In common with the dynamics of strictly two-dimensional hydrodynamical flows, thenon-linear dynamics of 2D3C flows is constrained by the presence of an infinite numberof Casimir invariants, which emerge as dynamical invariants in the limit of a vanishingforcing and a vanishing dissipation . In common with three-dimensional flows, the vorticityis not only mixed but also stretched by the dynamics. The additional field may actas a source or a sink of kinetic energy. It is commonly believed that such flows have thepropensity to develop large scale coherent structures. Whether those long lived structuresare equilibrium or metastable structures is however not so clear, nor are the exactconditions of their emergence. The role of the Casimir invariants in constraining those isnot so obvious either.

Syftet med den här studien är att ta reda på hur reklamannonser som riktar sig till äldre kvinnor utformas för att förstå vilka betydelser och normer äldre kvinnor tillskrivs, med andra ord vilka budskap äldre kvinnor möts av i livsstilsmagasin. Syftet är också att ta reda på om dessa ideal stämmer överens med de budskap som, enligt tidigare forskning, framställs genom retoriken i tidningen M-magasin. Till denna kvalitativa undersökning har delar av Björkvalls analysmetod för visuella texter använts (2003, 2009), tillsammans med Kress och van Leeuwens teorier om ”visuell grammatik” (2003). Resultatet visar bland annat att skönhetsannonsernas modelläsare ses som passiva och mycket samarbetsorienterade, samt att inre lycka kan kopplas till ett ungt utseende. Resultatet visar också att reklamens budskap skiljer sig från tidningens retorik när det gäller vissa betydelser som tillskrivs målgruppen. En slutsats är att de äldre kvinnorna möts av dubbla budskap och att ålderskategoriseringar ofta är motsägelsefulla.

För kvinnor innebär en graviditet en tid av såväl fysiska som psykiska förändringar. Dessa förändringar är naturliga och försvinner oftast efter förlossningen. De plötsliga kroppsliga förändringar som sker i en gravid kvinnas kropp leder ofta till att kvinnan känner att hon förlorar kontrollen över kroppen. Samtidigt håller omgivningen kvinnan ansvarig för att kontrollera hennes gravida kropp så att den är i linje med de normer och ideal om kroppen som finns i samhället. Uppsatsen undersöker hur gravida kvinnor förhåller sig till samhällets normer och ideal om en vacker gravid kropp. Materialet till studien utgörs av observationer och analys av två diskussionsforum på populära mötesplatser för gravida och en tidning som inriktar sig på graviditet. Resultatet visar att kvinnor redan i ett tidigt stadie av graviditeten bygger upp bilder och förväntningar över den gravida kroppen som ett resultat av hur media framställer en gravid kropp. De kvinnor som upplever stora kroppsliga förändringar ger ofta uttryck av besvikelse, frustation och skam över att inte lyckas leva upp till sina egna förväntningar och förväntningar som de uppfattar att omgivningen har på deras gravida kropp.

The United Nation’s mandate to engineer international peacecraft is correlated with the promotion of universal human rights. Universal human rights are held to apply consistently to everyone everywhere without conceivable exception. There is some debate as to whether universal human rights possibly exist. This debate centers around two difficulties: 1) the task of identifying a single trait or capability that all human beings necessarily share, and 2) the task of relating human rights to this trait or capability. Conventional epistemic justifications defending the existence of universal human rights attempt to address both difficulties. However, they have become the focus of numerous criticisms. By conducting systematizing and critically reviewing text analyses, I will conclude that conventional epistemic justifications are unable to refute standard criticisms satisfactorily. In their place, I will introduce an epistemic justification from the philosophy of mind. I will attempt to demonstrate that this justification is capable of 1) identifying a single trait that all human beings necessarily share, 2) relating human rights to this trait, and 3) satisfactorily refuting the standard criticisms raised against conventional epistemic theories. I have produced this paper in the hope of further legitimizing the UN’s mandate to engineer international peacecraft by providing a more philosophically optimal justification of claims affirming the existence of universal human rights.

Littoral warfare implies a disproportionate advantage to the coastal navy or “defending” side. Small navies sometimes lean on larger navies in doctrinal production. A coastal navy’s goals, methods and capabilities can be considered thought to be different from that of a larger navy’s regarding in regards to littoral warfare. This paper answers the question “What does littoral warfare mean for different types of states?”. An ideal type analysis was used to answer the question, and the doctrines of Sweden (type A state), USA (type B), and the UK (type B) were analysed in regards to the research question. This paper found inds that each type of state viewed littoral warfare in regards to themselves, from their own perspective; a type A state can be seen as a defender and a type B state as an aggressor. In the context of littoral warfare context, each the types of states employed different goals, methods and means as pertaining to littoral warfare.

The ring of integers is a very interesting ring, it has the amazing property that each of its elements may be expressed uniquely, up to order, as a product of prime elements. Unfortunately, not every ring possesses this property for its elements. The work of mathematicians like Kummer and Dedekind lead to the study of a special type of ring, which we now call a Dedekind domain, where even though unique prime factorization of elements may fail, the ideals of a Dedekind domain still enjoy the property of unique prime factorization into a product of prime ideals, up to order of the factors. This thesis seeks to establish the unique prime ideal factorization of ideals in a special type of Dedekind domain: the ring of algebraic integers of an imaginary quadratic number field.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om maskuliniteten som norm kan understödja kvinnors sexuella utsatthet och tänja på gränserna mellan sexuella praktiker och sexualbrott. Studien utgick från en kvalitativ design där tre stycken parintervjuer ägde rum med totalt sex unga kvinnor mellan 18-21 år, bosatta i Stockholms län. Det insamlade materialet analyserades utifrån ett genusteoretiskt maktperspektiv, där maskuliniteten bedömdes vara högst i genushierarkin och därmed norm. Materialet transkriberades och analyserades sedan via meningskoncentrering som redovisades med hjälp av teman. Resultatet visade att maskuliniteten framstod som överordnad samt att maktasymmetrin sannolikt kan påverka unga kvinnors sexuella praktiker på skilda sätt. Vidare framkom att maskuliniteten tycks fungera som normsättare, hos vilken femininiteten söker godkännande. Föreställningarna kring den underordnade femininiteten visade att kvinnor tenderar att ställa upp på vissa sexuella praktiker för att framstå som den ideala kvinnan. Även att maskuliniteten som norm understödjer mannens rätt att tjata sig till sex samt legitimt övertala kvinnor till specifika sexuella akter. Maskuliniteten som norm bedöms således kunna påtvinga kvinnan en paradoxal roll, då femininiteten både tycks sträva efter sexuell frigörelse samt en acceptans av samhället och den överordnade hierarkin.

This thesis deals with the construction of identity going on in Swedish students' societies, which is analyzed as an intersection of gender and social class. Theoretically, I draw on discourse analysis. Foucault's genealogical method is applied in order to understand how discourses of the past are active today in students' identity construction. The study is based on interviews with members of the board of three different societies. In all, 28 interviews were made. Furthermore texts and pictures from each society's homepage were examined. Overall, the study shows that two main discourses are activated in students' identity construction. The members of the male-dominated society belonging to the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology represent a specific form of masculine identity in accordance with medieval ideas of student life. Being a student means to be without responsibility, to drink and have fun, and women are constructed as 'the others'. The members see them-selves as rather ordinary men in the future. Women and men are active in equal numbers in the society of students belonging to the Faculty of Social Sciences. They activate the meritocratic discourse dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries as they construct themselves as future men in power with the right to speak. Women can however also represent this identity. In the society of students belonging to the Faculty of Medicine, women constitute the vast majority. They also activate the meritocratic discourse. However, they attach new meanings in accordance with the female symbolic gender to what should be regarded as merits: responsibility, respectability, care, and nicety. Thus, they represent a feminine identity, but the few male members do not adhere to these female symbolic norms. The society is an arena for the members' resistance against hegemonic discourses of gender and class that would confine them to subordinate positions in their future working-life. Each society provides valuable symbolic capital that might be important. Key words: class, discourse, gender, genealogy, ideal identity, identity construction, ideological dilemma, intersectionality, mass university, students' society, symbolic capital, the other.

Erdil, Zeynep. "Promoting L2 Motivation via Motivational Teaching Practice: A Mixed-Methods Study in the Turkish EFL Context". Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6496.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The shift toward bilingualism and multilingualism in historically monolingual societies resulting from globalization has positioned second/foreign language (L2) learning research as a significant field. Extensive research in L2 motivation over decades has demonstrated motivation to be a significant determiner of L2 learning achievement and has yielded many sound L2 motivation theories and frameworks. The latest L2 motivation framework is the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) offered by Dörnyei (2005, 2009). Numerous studies have been conducted to validate this theory in different English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts (e.g., in China, Iran and Japan: (Taguchi, Magid & Papi, 2009); in Hungary: (Csizér & Kormos, 2009); in Saudi Arabia: (Al-Shehri, 2009); and in Turkey: (Thompson & Erdil-Moody, 2014). Studies have found the theory sufficiently elaborate to explain the multifaceted L2 motivation in its dynamic nature. This study utilized the theoretical framework of L2MSS to examine L2 learners’ motivation.
Due to the importance of motivation in L2 learning and achievement, research focusing on EFL instructors’ use of motivation-enhancing strategies has gained significance. To fill a longstanding gap in L2 research for a unified and systematic motivational strategies framework for teachers, Dörnyei (2001) offered the Motivational Teaching Practice in the L2 Classrooms Model (MTP) – which offers various strategies that L2 teachers can use to enhance student motivation. The current study used this MTP theoretical framework to investigate L2 teachers’ motivational teaching practice. However, how the L2MSS could be integrated into the motivational teaching practice has not been adequately studied and requires further examination. Moreover, most language teacher education programs lack motivational teaching practice training for pre-service L2 teachers. Consequently, the present study aims to fill the gap in L2 research by examining a) how to promote EFL instructors’ motivational teaching practice through a training program on motivation-enhancing strategies within the L2MSS framework; b) how L2 teachers’ consistent and systematic use of motivation-enhancing strategies within this framework impact students’ motivated learning behaviors.
Another way this study contributes to L2 research is by offering both quantitative and qualitative empirical data in an understudied EFL context, Turkey, concerning the relationship between motivational teaching practice and learner motivation. The study employed a mixed-methods experimental design. The researcher collected data from February 2015 to June 2015, coordinating and delivering the teacher workshops, and analyzing and interpreting the data. The data involve various sources: self-report questionnaires from L2 teachers and students, classroom observations of teachers’ motivational teaching practice and students’ motivated learning behaviors, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, teachers’ strategy logs and reflective journals.
Quantitative and qualitative data analysis procedures were employed to analyze the data. The self-report questionnaire data were analyzed via exploratory factor analyses, Cronbach’s alpha, descriptive statistics, independent and paired samples t-tests; the classroom observation data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA; strategy logs were analyzed using descriptive statistics; and the qualitative data via classroom observations, reflective journals and interviews were analyzed via content analysis. The researcher coded, categorized, themed, and analyzed the data separately. This study intends to a) contribute to the L2 motivation research, b) offer pedagogical recommendations for motivational teaching practice to promote learner motivation within the L2MSS framework, c) contribute to the pre-service L2 teacher training to promote motivational teaching practice.
The results showed that instructors’ and students’ perceptions of instructors’ use of motivational strategies demonstrated both differences and similarities, indicating that both groups have varying perceptions in regards to instructors’ motivational teaching practice. An overall analysis of the MTP across 25 different EAP classes showed an average use of motivational strategies excluding any of the recently suggested strategies that enhance the L2 self guides (the ideal L2 self and the ought-to L2 self) of learners grounded in the L2MSS theory.
The classroom observation and L2 motivation data that were collected in both experimental and control groups before and after the treatment showed that instructors who received motivational teaching workshop started using more varieties of strategies more often and in a more consistent way compared to the control group instructors who did not receive any treatment. Similarly, experimental group students in the classes where instructors used more consistent and varied motivational strategies demonstrated more motivated classroom behaviors compared to the control group students. Experimental group instructors’ reflective journals and strategy logs also indicated an increased awareness of MTP and more conscious effort in trying to vary their motivational strategy use and develop their own consistent MTP.
The interviews with the experimental group instructors showed that instructors were more confident in their MTP, more conscious in their choice of motivation-enhancing strategies and lesson and material design that address learners’ ideal L2 selves. They all expressed that participating in the study including but not limited to taking the MTP workshop, implementing those strategies in their classes, continuous feedback and discussion sessions with the other experimental group instructors and the researcher, writing the reflecting journals and the strategy logs were altogether helped them to a great deal creating a “transformational experience like a wake-up call” in their teaching.
Interviews with the students revealed that experimental group students were happier in their EAP class this semester compared to their previous pre-requisite EAP class because they were kept more motivated, engaged and active throughout the semester. They found their instructors as the most motivating factor on their motivation and achievement this semester.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att studera hur våldsbrottsoffer porträtteras inom svensk textbaserad media och att studera eventuella genusskillnader för dessa beskrivningar. Detta gjordes genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av 24 tidningsartiklar från Aftonbladet och Expressen. Analysen och kodningen tog sitt stöd i Butlers teori om genus och Christies teori om det ideala offret. Vi fann flera likheter och skillnader mellan de kvinnliga- respektive manliga offren. Största likheten var porträtteringen av offren som värdiga och legitima offer, trots att ingen av de 24 fallen egentligen föll under den mest stereotypa bilden av ett brottsoffer. Den skillnad vi fann mest intressant var männens uppnådda legitimitet och värdighet trots att flertalet påvisade en viss tvivelaktig livsstil.The purpose of this bachelor thesis was to study how Swedish text- based media constructed their portrayal of victims suffering from criminal violence and also to see if there were any gender differences in these portrayals. The study was made by using a qualitative content analysis based on 24 newspaper articles from the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen. The analysis and coding took support from Butler’s gender- theory and Christie’s “ideal type victim”- theory. The analysis resulted in multiple similarities and differences between the female- and male victims. The greatest similarity was the portrayal of the victims as legitimate, although none of the 24 cases fell under the most stereotypical portrait of a crime- victim. The most interesting difference in the results was that the men’s obtained legitimate and dignity despite several showed some kind of doubtful lifestyle.

The purpose of this study was to find out if young adults, more specified in the ages between 15-30 years old, are affected by beauty ideals on social media and if so, how they are affected. Furthermore, the study wanted to find out if there are any gender differences and age differences in the matter, and how often an individual person publishes content on social media. The theoretical frameworks we applied and used as support was Uses and gratification theory, Social cognitive theory and Sociocultural perspective on body image. We also applied the research on “Why do people use social media?”. In order to find out the purpose of the study and get statistics we created and used a quantitative poll survey. The survey was made with Google Forms and contained 21 variables with closed-ended questions. A random sample was applied through publishing the survey on Facebook. A total of 146 people answered the survey. To get statistics through diagrams we used Google Forms as well as SPSS Statistics. For example, Google Forms introduced how many out of our total target audience who felt themselves being affected by beauty ideals on social media meanwhile SPSS Statistics introduced results where different variables were merged, e.g. comparing genders and influence of beauty ideals. The survey results stated that women are affected by social media to a greater extent than men are. According to our results, women generally have a lower self-esteem than men do, and they are also more prone to comparing themselves with others. They also experience a stronger self-esteem when posting on social media. In opposite, according to the survey results, men generally have a higher self-esteem and are less affected by social media than women are. The categories “Body” and “Exercise/diet” is a common denominator for both men and women, as both genders experience themself being most affected by them. However, women proved to be more affected in these categories than men. It was furthermore very common with both genders to be affected both positively as well as negatively by social media. To summarize, the results we got from the analysis of our empirical material agrees well with the theoretical frameworks we used and the research we found. For instance, the theories bring up that girls from an early age are exposed by unrealistic ideals, which can explain our results.Syftet med undersökningen var att ta reda på om unga vuxna, som specificeras till 15-30 år, påverkas av skönhetsideal på sociala medier och på vilket sätt de påverkas. Undersökningen ville vidare ta reda på om det fanns en skillnad av påverkan mellan könen och åldersgrupper samt hur ofta en person publicerar innehåll på sociala medier. De teoretiska ramverk vi utgick från och tog stöd av var Uses and gratification theory, Social cognitive theory och Sociocultural perspective applicerat på kroppsbilden. Vi använde oss även av forskningen “Why do people use social media?”. För att ta reda på syftet och få fram statistik användes en kvantitativ enkätundersökning. Enkäten skapades i Google Formulär och innehöll 21 variabler med icke-öppna frågor. Ett bekvämlighetsurval tillämpades genom att enkäten publicerades på Facebook. Enkäten fick in totalt 146 respondenter. För att få fram statistik genom diagram användes Google Formulär samt SPSS Statistics. Google Formulär presenterade exempelvis hur många av vår totala målgrupp som upplevde sig påverkade av skönhetsideal på sociala medier medan SPSS Statistics istället presenterade resultat där variabler kopplats samman, exempelvis för att jämföra kön och påverkan av skönhetsideal. Utifrån enkätens resultat gick det att anta att kvinnor påverkas i högre grad och i större utsträckning än män av sociala medier. Enligt våra resultat har kvinnor generellt en lägre självkänsla och stor tendens till att jämföra sig med andra, och de får även stärkt självkänsla vid publicering på sociala medier. Män har enligt enkätens resultat tvärtom generellt högre självkänsla och påverkas mindre av sociala medier än vad kvinnor gör. Kategorierna “Kropp” och “Träning/kost” är gemensam nämnare hos både män och kvinnor, då båda könen upplever sig påverkas mest här. Däremot visade resultatet att kvinnor påverkas mer än män inom dessa kategorier. Det var vidare vanligt förekommande att påverkas både positivt och negativt av sociala medier hos båda könen. Sammanfattningsvis har resultaten vi fått fram via analys av vårt empiriska material stämt bra överens med de teoretiska ramverk som använts och den forskning som hittats. Teorierna tar bland annat upp belöning och att flickor i tidig ålder utsätts för orealistiska ideal, vilket kan förklara vårt resultat.

This research aims to make evident the importance of films serving as a relevant arena for political struggles within a society, struggles that concern highly important concepts such as the nation and the state. This goal is accomplished by building upon the theory of cinematic nationhood and using the method of relational constructivism combined with insight from Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. The research regards films as forms of communication as well as forms of fantasy. The case this research focuses on is Romania. The case was selected because for a certain period of time the myths of nation and state had been strongly embedded-or nested-- within the social contexts-or commonplaces--specific to Marxism, namely work, equality, and the bourgeois enemy, followed by a swift and radical social discourse change that triggered changes within the topography of commonplaces. The films analyzed represent these changes in order to understand the specific ways in which the myth of nation and state are reflected within films produced during radical economic, social, and political transformations. This research reveals that, despite the social, economic, and political upheavals from the pre- to post-transition eras, the underlying national structure of fantasy remained remarkably unchanged, while the nation and the state changed their social relevance with changes in their position occupied within the structure of fantasy.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The hierarchical levels at which resource selection occurs can have important consequences for individual and population energy budgets and structure the impacts of a forager on its ecosystem. Assessing factors affecting resource selection of large marine herbivores across scales is important because of their potentially large impacts on seagrass community dynamics and historical and current changes in their population sizes and those of their potential predators. I explored the factors (predation risk, resource abundance, quality and identity) affecting resource use of large marine herbivores (green turtles, Chelonia mydas) from the scale of habitat patches to forage species within patches. I used a combination of in-water surveys, aerial drone video transects, baited camera surveys, and seagrass community and nutrient content analyses to provide insights into resource use by turtles in multiple ecological contexts.
In Abaco, The Bahamas I found relatively intact shark populations, including apex predators, relative to other parts of the Caribbean. In the context of healthy predator populations in Abaco, I tested a priori predictions rooted in Ideal Free Distribution (IFD) theory. Green turtles off Abaco deviated from predictions of an IFD determined by the standing stocks of seagrass. Instead, distributions are consistent with predictions of the foraging arena hypothesis with turtles largely restricted to safe habitat patches and selecting locations within these where seagrass N content is relatively high.
Marine invasive species can have detrimental effects on coastal ecosystems and economies. Therefore, understanding the effects of, and factors influencing the rate of spread of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea in the Caribbean is important. In the French West Indies (Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Martin), I investigated foraging preferences for native versus invasive seagrass species and whether green turtles might facilitate or attenuate the invasion through their choice of habitats and feeding patterns. Green turtle distributions were correlated with native seagrass distributions. Also, despite similar nutrient contents, turtles preferred feeding on native seagrasses irrespective of their relative abundance within a patch. These results suggest that, as predicted by the Enemy Release Hypothesis, green turtles likely facilitate the invasion and spread of the invasive seagrass that may reduce energy flow into turtle populations.

Potts, John B. III. "Developing and Testing an Anguilliform Robot Swimming with Theoretically High Hydrodynamic Efficiency". ScholarWorks@UNO, 2015. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2103.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
An anguilliform swimming robot replicating an idealized motion is a complex marine vehicle necessitating both a theoretical and experimental analysis to completely understand its propulsion characteristics. The ideal anguilliform motion within is theorized to produce ``wakeless'' swimming (Vorus, 2011), a reactive swimming technique that produces thrust by accelerations of the added mass in the vicinity of the body. The net circulation for the unsteady motion is theorized to be eliminated.
The robot was designed to replicate the desired, theoretical motion by applying control theory methods. Independent joint control was used due to hardware limitations. The fluid velocity vectors in the propulsive wake downstream of the tethered, swimming robot were measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Simultaneously, a load cell measured the thrust (or drag) forces of the robot via a hydrodynamic tether. The measured field velocities and thrust forces were compared to the theoretical predictions for each.
The desired, ideal motion was not replicated consistently during PIV testing, producing off-design scenarios. The thrust-computing method for the ideal motion was applied to the actual, recorded motion and compared to the load cell results. The theoretical field velocities were computed differently by accounting for shed vortices due to a different shape than ideal. The theoretical thrust shows trends similar to the measured thrust over time. Similarly promising comparisons are found between the theoretical and measured flow-field velocities with respect to qualitative trends and velocity magnitudes. The initial thrust coefficient prediction was deemed insufficient, and a new one was determined from an iterative process. The off-design cases shed flow structures into the downstream wake of the robot. The first is a residual disturbance of the shed boundary layer, which is to be expected for the ideal case, and dissipates within one motion cycle. The second are larger-order vortices that are being shed at two distinct times during a half-cycle.
These qualitative and quantitative comparisons were used to confirm the possibility of the original hypothesis of ``wakeless'' swimming. While the ideal motion could not be tested consistently, the results of the off-design cases agree significantly with the adjusted theoretical computations. This shows that the boundary conditions derived from slender-body constraints and the assumptions of ideal flow theory are sufficient enough to predict the propulsion characteristics of an anguilliform robot undergoing this specific motion.

I focus on the changing and now contemporary feminist conceptualization of romance fiction. Through the genre’s mass-market success and complicated history, a definition of ro·mance (genre) is conjured. By depicting a fantasy world for the female reader to escape to, feminist critics and romance academics have found the genre’s influence to be an effective one. In an analysis if popular romance fiction author, Emily Giffin, and her most recent novel The One & Only, I demonstrate what has now resulted in the modern romance and further, how the modern heroine is understood today.

The thesis examines how ethnography museums, in inventing and reinforcing the desire for modernity through their exhibiting clout, have been representing Self and the Other via the nexus that connects issues of identity, race, and difference. Based on research conducted using textual analysis and interviews to museum visitors, the thesis examines whether modern ethnography museums are moving past their colonial frameworks and managing to integrate the voices and experiences of the post-colonial Other through the lenses of heritage, history, and memory.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Austrian playwright Jovita Epp's German language novel Amado mío, which takes place in post-WWII Argentina, is a modern adaptation of the traditional colonial novel. As such, the romances between the female main character, an Argentine of German descent, and her two love interests, an Argentine of Spanish descent (Criollo), and an Austrian Argentine, reflect the hopes and fears of persons and/or cultures caught up in the imperialist dreams of their nation. In the wake of WWII, Argentina becomes a space in which European(-descended) settlers can look back at Europe's "barbarism," questioning the imperialist worldviews that brought Europe to the brink of destruction. At the same time, these colonists search for European values that are salvageable from the cultural wreckage in Europe and employable in reconstructing a new identity in Argentina.

The gradual blending of classical science and epistemology with indigenous/traditional practices and modes of understanding (particularly magic and religion) in the early western Middle Ages tends to be misunderstood. The purpose of this study is to address the reason(s) why the early medieval West has been labeled an irrational, unscientific â Dark Ageâ in order to point out that this conceptionâ s existence has more to do with limited historical perspectives than with reality. The anachronistic superimposition of modern presuppositions and methodological expectations is a very old phenomenon. Ironically, however, it has crept into the history of science and extended to ostensibly objective â scientificâ historiography to such a degree that dismissiveness regarding the other ways of knowing that have informed our scientific and epistemological development frequently tends to obscure historical continuity.
My goal in this undertaking is to firmly establish how we may understand that the intellectual revolution beginning in twelfth-century Europe was founded on a rich and multifarious tradition of knowledge and understanding; the preceding seven or eight centuries of the early Middle Ages was not one of intellectual â darknessâ and should not be discarded as such. The approach I have taken is intended to demonstrate, rather than simply state, this goal by roughly imitating of the process of intellectual transmission in the early Middle Ages. Therefore, primary sources are supplemented by numerous secondary interpretations from various academic disciplines in the hope that collecting and reforming ideas in this fashion will draw out the inherent connectivity of ideological thought structures and approaches to the natural world.Master of Arts

This paper determines whether monoid rings with the two-generator property have the strong two-generator property. Dedekind domains have both the two-generator and strong two-generator properties. How common is this? Two cases are considered here: the zero-dimensional case and the one-dimensional case for monoid rings. Each case is looked at to determine if monoid rings that are not PIRs but are two-generated have the strong two-generator property. Full results are given in the zero-dimensional case, however only partial results have been found for the one-dimensional case.

This study explores the relationship between ideals of motherhood and heterosexual normativity, from the perspective of women at the margins of these discourses. The title, In the shadow of Motherhood, illustrates the overriding power of the image of motherhood to marginalise alternative experiences. The concept of motherhood, like that of Family, has traditionally signalled the reproduction of the normative; it does not usually encompass the critical scrutiny that would allow for diverse experiences of mothering. Theoretically, the study is located within the fields of feminist sociology and inclusive family studies in productive dialogue with queer notions of gender and sexuality. Methodologically, it is inspired by narrative analysis and consists of in-depth interviews with eight lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual women grappling with different experiences of motherhood and mothering practices. Some of them identify as mothers while others do not, but by not being biogenetic mothers within a heterosexual relationship they share the position of being outside of what is often considered normal, natural and desirable. The analysis reveals a considerable variation in the positions, experiences and identities of the participants, particularly in regards to changes over time, which cannot be reduced to binary categories such as heterosexual/lesbian, biological/non-biological, mother/childless or voluntary/involuntary childlessness. The analysis also exposes a deep tension between ideologies of motherhood and lived experiences of care practices. Furthermore, from the perspective of the participants, the boundaries between inclusion and exclusion reinforce and challenge each other, creating spaces of both individual and collective resistance. The study illuminates the need to shift the location of these experiences from the margins to the centre not only in sociological research of family and gender, but also within feminist sociology.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
How does the brain encode the spatial structure of the external world?
A partial answer comes through place cells, hippocampal neurons which
become associated to approximately convex regions of the world known
as their place fields. When an organism is in the place field of some place
cell, that cell will fire at an increased rate. A neural code describes the set
of firing patterns observed in a set of neurons in terms of which subsets
fire together and which do not. If the neurons the code describes are place
cells, then the neural code gives some information about the relationships
between the place fields–for instance, two place fields intersect if and only if
their associated place cells fire together. Since place fields are convex, we are
interested in determining which neural codes can be realized with convex
sets and in finding convex sets which generate a given neural code when
taken as place fields. To this end, we study algebraic invariants associated
to neural codes, such as neural ideals and toric ideals. We work with a
special class of convex codes, known as inductively pierced codes, and seek
to identify these codes through the Gröbner bases of their toric ideals.

This study deals with the trend of male bodybuilding in Korea and investigates the motivations and aesthetic ideals of Korean male bodybuilders. The author of the study uses the few hitherto academic research works on the subject and tries to give an overview of the history of Korean bodybuilding. Besides, the author has conducted a digital survey in order to collect answers from Korean male bodybuilders about their motivations, aesthetic ideals, etc. The aesthetic ideals of the bodybuilders are then compared to the male aesthetic ideals of modern Korean society and also discussed in relation to the somatic beliefs of NeoConfucianism. The findings are thereafter analyzed in context of two theses of the cultural consequences of globalization, namely homogenization and hybridization. The study concludes that Korean bodybuilders are more concerned with the arduous process of sculpting their physiques rather than the look of them themselves. Although the research material on Korean bodybuilding is scarce and the responses to the conducted survey are small in terms of both numbers and scale, it may be suggested that Korean bodybuilding appears to be an instance of the hybridization thesis. Lastly, the study emphasizes the need for more extensive research on the subject in question.Denna studie behandlar ämnet koreansk bodybuilding för män och undersöker dels vad som motiverar koreanska kroppsbyggare att utöva sin sport, dels vad deras estetiska ideal är. Studiens författare använder sig av den begränsade befintliga forskningen inom ämnet och försöker även ge en överblick över koreansk bodybuildings historia. Författaren har dessutom utfört en digital undersökning för att samla in svar från koreanska kroppsbyggare om deras drivkrafter, estetiska ideal, etc. Dessa ideal jämförs sedan med det moderna koreanska samhällets motsvarigheter och diskuteras även utifrån de somatiska föreställningarna inom neokonfucianismen. Studiens forskningsresultat analyseras sedan utifrån två teorier om globaliseringens kulturella konsekvenser, närmare bestämt homogenisering respektive hybridisering. Trots det knappa forskningsmaterialet kring koreansk bodybuilding är studiens slutsats att koreanska kroppsbyggare är mer måna om den mödosamma processen i att bygga sina kroppar, snarare än hur dessa ser ut i sig själva. Studien suggererar också att koreansk bodybuilding verkar vara ett exempel på hybridiseringsteorin. Slutligen betonar studien behovet av mer utförlig forskning kring ämnet i fråga.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study examines the potential impact of a diagnosis of HIV on gay men's ideas about themselves and their experiences of forming new sexual relationships with other men. Particular focus is given to changes in participants' thoughts/ feelings about themselves post diagnosis and how such changes were manifested. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine participants who all self identified as gay men and who had received a diagnosis of HIV at least twelve months previously. A social constructionist Grounded Theory approach was used to develop a model from the interview transcripts. Analysis revealed that receiving a diagnosis was constructed as being a 'life changing event'. Commonly discussed were feelings of loss attributed to living with the diagnosis, and feelings of self blame regarding circumstances under which transmission of the virus occurred. The emotion of 'feeling different to others' was commonly discussed and felt most intensely when participants were engaged in sexual practices with their HIV negative partner. Feelings of loss were frequently mentioned as participants compared the opportunities available to them pre and post diagnosis. The responses of others to the diagnosis were also discussed as pertinent to the ideas participants had about themselves and their future. Such responses, particularly from sexual partners influenced sexual behaviour prompting them to engage in less sex in order to protect themselves emotionally from further feelings of rejection. The lack of sex post diagnosis for some participants was constructed as a relief and a desire to feel 'asexual'. The findings are discussed with regard to the limited literature, with particular emphasis on understanding the impact of the diagnosis from a social constructionist perspective. Recommendations for further research and various implications for practice are highlighted.

While personnel evaluation has been extensively covered in literature, little is known about evaluation procedures screening a large number of applicants. The basis of this research was to investigate if candidates for sales positions can be evaluated in a scalable way (where the number of applications does not impact the cost of evaluation much) for an on demand sales platform. The study consists of interviews with the recruiters and growth leads of the studied firm, a case study of a firm that has omitted resumes in their salesperson recruitment processes, and sample tests performed on candidates for sales positions. Further, some data on salespeople was collected and analysed. In summary, the study links the findings to the restrictions of a process that requires scalability. Previous research outlines how various indicators (personality facets, biodata, and optimism) predict sales performance in salespeople. Mental ability of candidates is relevant especially for the work training phase. Some of these findings were supported by the case study. While traditional resumes contain information predicting sales ability, some sales managers argue that they are obsolete. Previous research shows that recruiters risk drawing broad generalizations based on resume content. Video resumes have some potential, but currently have technical and ethical limitations. Personality and mental ability tests show predictive ability for sales performance, and are scalable. Previous research discusses limitations in many personality tests being commercial, resulting in limitations in how they may be modified; in their transparency of scoring; and validity studies being hard to conduct. Other limitations with personality tests in evaluation settings are that they are prone to faking. The study also suggests future topics of research in how culture defines what an ideal salesperson is, and extending these findings to other areas than sales.Medan bedömning av sökande för tjänster har täckts i tidigare forskning, är lite känt om utvärderingsprocesser som utvärderar stort antal sökande. Denna studie söker att svara på om kandidater för säljtjänster kan utvärderas på ett skalbart sätt (där antalet sökande har liten påverkan på kostnaden för utvärdering) för en säljplattform. Studien består av intervjuer med rekryterare och growth leads av det studerade företaget, en fallstudie av ett företag som har slopat CV:n i sin ansökningsprocess, och test på kandidater för säljtjänster. Vidare analyserades befintlig data på säljare. Sammanfattningsvis länkar studien resultaten till de begränsningar som krävs av en skalbar process. Tidigare forskning visar hur olika indikatorer (personlighet, biografisk data, och optimism) kan förutse säljförmåga. Kandidatens mentala förmåga är särskilt relevant för träningsfasen. Vissa av dessa resultat stöds av fallstudien. Medan CV:n innehåller information för att förutse säljförmåga, hävdar vissa säljchefer att de är utdaterade. Tidigare forskning visar att rekryterare ibland generaliserar brett baserat på innehållet av ett CV. Videobaserade CV:n har viss potential, men har etiska och tekniska brister i dagsläget. Personlighetstest och test som mäter mental förmåga visar prediktiv potential för säljförmåga och är också skalbara. Tidigare forskning diskuterar även de begränsningar som uppstår av att många personlighetstest är kommersiella, vilket leder till begränsningar i hur de kan modifieras; i transparensen av rättningen; och att validitetsstudier är svåra att utföra på dem. Andra begränsningar med personlighetstest är att kandidater kan manipulera resultaten. Studien föreslår även framtida forskning inom till exempel hur kultur definierar en ideal säljperson, och om dessa resultat kan utökas till andra områden än försäljning.

This thesis examines a series of episodes in the history of indirect rule that resulted in rulers being deposed or otherwise removed from power. It does so from the conviction that such episodes provide a valuable opportunity to explore the conceptions of princely character held and articulated by British officials, and to assess to what extent such conceptions informed British expectations of the princes, and thus shaped the daily and local practice of indirect rule in colonial India. The study is intended to contribute to the growing body of work on the history of the princely states, a subject that until recently was considered marginal to understanding colonial South Asia, but whose importance is increasingly being recognised. Its geographical focus the states of the Central India Agency attempts to redress the comparative neglect of this region to date; it also seeks to achieve a balance between the relative merits and shortcomings of single-state and 'all-India' studies, by allowing for intensive analysis of an interconnected group of rulers and officials, whilst maintaining a sufficiently diverse sample of situations and individuals to enable broader conclusions to be suggested. Moreover, the approach adopted firmly locates this thesis within the emerging study of the cultural history of empire: the rulers of the princely states occupied a position within the colonial hierarchies of class, race and gender that was uniquely liminal within India and rare elsewhere. They failed to fit neatly any of the pre-ordained categories of colonial society and consequently had the potential to disrupt the conventions of deference, distance and difference on which such a society was based. Analysis of how the British attempted to characterise the princes, therefore, should complement existing analyses of the operation of such important concepts as race, masculinity, sexuality, sanity, class and tradition in colonial India. This study argues that British ideas and ideals of princely character were neither fixed nor hegemonic: conflict over the meaning and significance of a ruler's conduct regularly arose between the many levels of the imperial bureaucracy. There was not a single, consistent and explicitly defined normative discourse of princely conduct: officials' expectations of rulers shifted over time in response to the changing outlook and interests of the British in India, as well as varying across the significant differences of faith, race, region and status that they perceived to divide the princely order. Furthermore, rulers themselves whether through negotiation, evasion or contestation played a significant role in the constant redefinition of such ideas. However, British officials' conceptions and representations of princely character were not wholly constitutive of their power over the princes and their states. Although assessments of a ruler's character as inadequate, even incurably deviant, could be advanced as justification for intervening in a state, the impact of such ideas upon the actual practice of indirect rule was substantially qualified by an array of other considerations. Orientalist conceptions of princely character may have been highly influential in shaping the conduct of 'political relations', but they were often ignored or abandoned by officials when the dividends of a more pragmatic approach to the princes were thought to be higher.

Albert Einstein published the English translation of Relativity: The Special and General Theory in the midst of two big events in 1920: the confirmation of the two theories of relativity and spacetime in 1919 and the Nobel prize in physics in 1921. The new global celebrity wanted to make the theories intelligible and readable for an international English-speaking audience, an audience that also included antagonistic scientists and even anti-Semites. The aim of this thesis is to do a rhetorical analysis of Einstein’s character, his ethos, in Relativity, with a specific focus on creation of credibility in regard to his historical context: scientific ideals, values and norms as well as the political and cultural tendencies in Europe during the early 20th century. This was done firstly by identifying the implied auditor. Secondly, based on the material, I have identified three stereotypes or characters – the professional idealist, the mentor and the internationalist – which emphases different features and capacities that are crucial for the credibility of the text. Thirdly, by using these stereotypes and in regard to the specific historical context, I investigated how Einstein developed his primary ethos into a secondary ethos in the text. The rhetorical analysis of Einstein’s Relativity shows that his ethos stands in relation to the social and cultural perception of the virtuous epistemic scientist; to fight prejudices regarding being a Jewish-German theoretical physicist; and, noteworthy, a way to produce a well-needed international space – a crucial alternative to continue the positivistic knowledge production counter to the nationalistic project.

Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States and more children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined (Autism Speaks, 2013). Supporting and caring for the child with autism can be devastating socially and emotionally for the families (Neely, Amatea, Doan, & Tannen, 2012). The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in the life of families that have a child diagnosed with autism.
Four families were interviewed in this qualitative study and each was from East Tennessee. These different families were led by a mother and father, a grandmother, and two divorced mothers.
Through this research, I learned how each family was impacted by autism. Autism dramatically affected each family and each was impacted in many different aspects of life.

This is a master thesis project performed with Maze Interior AB in Stockholm in the spring/summer 2019, via Luleå University of Technology within product design. It is further part of the Master Programme in Industrial Design Engineering in the course D7014A with the purpose of designing a new coffee-table concept for the less spacious homes. The assignment was additionally about developing an aesthetic coffee table that meets the needs of Maze, the market and the intended users. Other desired qualities were a sustainable and Scandinavian design that is of good quality as well as works with Maze’s existing product range. The project came about because of a perceived lack of smaller tables on today’s interior market and as a result of that, a mutual interest was found in developing a coffee table. As the coffee table is sometimes considered the heart of the living room, it puts certain demands on the product experience, which was explored in this thesis project. The project consisted of four main phases, namely the Conceive & Inspiration, Design, Implement and Operate phase. Examples of methods used, leading up to the results, included a literature review, various analyses of Scandinavian design, the market and Maze, online surveys, interviews, ideation, building a full-sized prototype, CAD modelling, stability calculations etc. The project resulted in a final coffee-table concept named Öglan and an alternative version of it presented in the collection Mono 19. Öglan is a contemporary coffee table with personality due to its playful yet elegant loop shaped leg. It furthermore fulfils the objectives and aims of the project; an innovative, aesthetic, Scandinavian rooted and sustainable coffee table of high quality for the space efficient home. Lastly, Öglan caters to social, ecologic and economic sustainability with its flat packaging, timeless design, material choices, functionality and its tried and tested durable construction.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Background. Factors such as the shortage of personnel, hospital closures and mergers, the ageing of the population combined with the evolution of medical technologies have all added pressure to the health care system. These pressures have had an impact on current work environments and health care workers' satisfaction. In light of the evidence on the influence of job satisfaction and retention on the quality of tare and patient safety, interventions are needed to address these issues.Objective. The objective were to examine the effect of Appreciative Inquiry on: (1) the development of innovative ideas regarding work organization; (2) changes in health care professionals' and particularly nurses' job satisfaction and intent to stay; and, (3) levels of empowerment, social network and perceived organizational support.
Research design. The study used a multiple embedded case study design to access the multifaceted aspects relating to retention and innovation and examine the changes engendered by an AI intervention.
Participants and setting. Two oncology ambulatory clinics constituted the cases; the embedded units were the health care and the management teams (N = 47 and 5) of an adult oncology division in a multi-site university affiliated health care centre in a large Canadian city.
Methods. Multiple sources of evidence were used. They consisted of participant observation, questionnaires providing quantitative and qualitative evidence, interviews, direct observation and documentation.
Results. AI provided a way to involve health care professionals in change processes by creating the opportunity and the conditions that promoted the emergent of innovative ideas. Some of these ideas were implemented during the study period. AI did not result in improved psychological empowerment, perceived organizational support, support network or decreased intent to stay. Job satisfaction decreased over time. Perceptions of organizational support and psychological empowerment were found to influence job satisfaction and intent to stay.
Conclusion. This study makes a contribution to micro-systems examination of change processes and reveals how ideas evolve and are developed in a multidisciplinary context. AI represents a way to tap into the innovative potential of individuals within an organization. The findings suggest that upper and middle management support is required throughout change processes and that multilevel interventions need to be pursued to facilitate the implementation of innovative ideas and subsequently improve work environments.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This theoretical master’s dissertation explores the cleavage between how audiences and journalists perceive transparency and objectivity through the following research questions: “Can transparency be understood independently of objectivity, or can it be included in a model of objectivity?”, “What are the underlying interests with normative concepts like objectivity and transparency, and what drives the process of replacing objectivity with transparency?” and “Can transparency replace objectivity’s dominance as ethical ideal in journalism?”. The questions are studied through a comparative research design of the main concepts transparency and objectivity and by employing a methodology that consists of secondary data analysis of qualitative data and qualitative meta-analysis. The theoretical framework consists of pragmatic objectivity, the process model of journalists’ roles, paradigm building and boundary maintenance and is applied to the secondary empirical material (academic articles). The results show that transparency is compatible with pragmatic objectivity, and I argue that unifying the ethical ideals is a way forward in order to resolve the contestation between the ethical ideals. The results also show that transparency has not reached the status of a normative role in contemporary news journalism. Furthermore, there are indications that transparency in contemporary news journalism has not replaced objectivity’s dominance, as the journalistic community is generally unwilling to give any genuine insight into its methodology. From a boundary maintenance perspective, the results also show that objectivity is in the process of being defended by journalists, as it is a highly practiced and valued ethical ideal in journalistic communities.

Purpose Idea Management as key activity in the front-end of innovation is crucial for not only targeting new products but also for new technologies. Nevertheless, the interrelations between Idea Management and Technology Development are still not fully understood. Due to the different abstraction levels of products and technologies, an in-depth investigation of evaluation criteria for Technology Development ideas is required. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to examine which evaluation criteria are pertinent for each phase of Idea Management, when applied for Technology Development. Design The research framework for Idea Management criteria in the context of Technology Development is built on data from 17 semi-structured interviews, two focus group interviews as well as participant observations. The participants of this study are experienced R&D experts from a large Swedish organization in the transport industry. Findings The results indicate that the evaluation of Technology Development ideas is more complex due to the high degree of uncertainty and unpredictability. In contrast to the common one-step evaluation process of New Product Development ideas, the findings suggest a three-step evaluation process for Technology Development ideas. Due to the lack of knowledge and maturity when an idea is generated, this three-step evaluation enables a continuous reduction of uncertainty. In addition to this, the result of this study contributes with the suggestion to attribute a focus dimension for each Idea Management phase, which in consequence is helping firms to direct their evaluation resources. The findings are presented in a generic evaluation framework that leads organizations through the assessment process. Theoretical contribution The present study contributes to the literature with an improved understanding of TD idea evaluations by suggesting a rather internally use-oriented perspective as well as advances prior research through knowledge about the right timing for the use of evaluation criteria. Practical implications Irrespectively of the origin or focus of an idea, evaluation criteria are helping to direct Technology Development initiatives. By having evaluation criteria, defined as pertinent for each phase of Idea Management, Technology Development ideas can be assessed appropriately regarding their contextual circumstances. Originality The study is among the first that differentiates Idea Management for Technology Development from the one targeting New Product Development. This study suggests a framework that considers the stages and criteria necessary in the context of TechnologyDevelopment.

This thesis is an in-depth analysis of beauty ideals in South Korea and India. These two countries have recently turned to skin lightening and cosmetic surgery in order to achieve their new beauty standards. Not only do these two countries share a propensity for those two trends, but they also have an overwhelming majority of the population that identifies with a specific religion; Hinduism in the case of India and Confucianism in the case of South Korea. However, it is not clear that the current beauty ideal in each country aligns with the beauty ideal set out in the respective foundational religion.
