I denna studie undersöker jag hur individer ser på en online-identitet på Facebook. Syftet med studien är att nå ökad förståelse för hur individer resonerar kring skapandet och upprätthållandet av en online-identitet.Studien tar särskilt sin utgångspunkt i ett generationsperspektiv och fokuserar på likheter och skillnader mellan digitala och icke-digitala generationer i deras framställning online.

On October 23, 2011, Ennahda wins Tunisia's first free democratic elections. Ennahda is an Islamist party that was publicly acknowledged only after the ruling dictator was overthrown. Media has been talking about the revolution in Tunisia as the citizen's liberation, but after the election the discussion is about women's future. When the new provisional constitution is published on Aug

In Sweden suicide is, alongside traffic accidents, the most common cause of death amongst children. Every year approximately 30 children take their lives, and 2011 nearly 800 children was hospitalized after deliberately having harmed themselves. School is a place where children are forced to spend approximately 30 hours per week during at least nine years. Because of this school is where the state

Syftet med förevarande framställning är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och australiensisk rätt beskriva och jämföra hur respektive land reglerar barnets bästa i vårdnadsmål. Både i svensk och i australiensisk rätt förekommer begreppet barnets bästa och i båda länderna görs en in casu bedömning vid bestämmandet av vad som är bäst för barnet. Utformningen av lagstiftningen skiljer sig eThe purpose of this essay is that of describing and comparing the Swedish regulation of the concept the best interests of the child in cases concerning legal custody with the Australian regulation of the same concept in cases concerning parental responsibility. Both Sweden and Australia have a legislation that regulates the best interests of the child and in both countries the decision of what is

Media and news articles can either be representative or just a fictional story to attract buyers. My research is based on patterns of how different ethnic groups, religion and cultures are sometimes being portrayed by the media. Two instances that I have researched, includes brothers murdering their sisters. The accused are of different cultures, Swedish and Kurdish with an Iraqi heritage. I have

Nowadays concrete structures are often designed with a complex geometry, which demands finite element analysis. A well known problem in relation to finite element analysis is restraining forces, which may be strongly overestimated in linear analyses of concrete structures. Restraint forces are internal forces that are created when a structure is prevented from movement. Restraint forces can for ex

Robustness of structural systems is as yet not explicitly defined nor is there a clearly defined method for incorporating robustness in design/construction. Robustness can be simply defined as the ability of a structural system to survive unforeseen/extraordinary exposures or circumstances that would otherwise cause it to fail. The structure must have enough residual capacity during and after the

Denna kandidatuppsats bär titeln Zlatan Ibrahimović - Hjälte eller buse? – En analys av en mediebild, och är författad av Maria Rosén vid Institutionen för Kommunikation och Medier på Lunds universitet höstterminen 2012. Uppsatsen består av en kvalitativ textanalys av nyhetsartiklar och krönikor, ur två svenska dagstidningar och en svensk kvällstidning, från tre tidpunkter i Zlatan Ibrahimovićs ka

This report contains a study of the deflections of prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs in an effort to obtain acceptable span lengths. The objective of the report is to investigate the parameters that affect deflections and to determine whether it is possible to increase the standard span of these slabs without changing structural properties such as depth, width or the quality of concrete and

The social structure has led us to only see women as the sex we should protect in the society. A general assumption is that men are aggressive and more sexually drift than women, which has made him insignificant in the context of sexual violence. Feminist studies on male rape have therefore become an academic undertheorized issue where other problem formulations and aspects instead have been highl

This thesis aims to examine how the EC law regarding asylum and refugees, or more precisely how the notion of “safe countries” and the definition of “refugee” in the Asylum Procedures Directive and the Qualification Directive, affect the Roma minority in Europe. The theoretical framework is based on two theories: One theory is Etienne Balibar’s discussion concerning the European project and how it

Crime is not only a legal area, but can also be seen as a way of life for some people. The criminal lifestyle is one of Sweden today’s biggest social problem involving a lot of people, both those who execute the crime and those exposed to it. The most common time to start a criminal career is during adolescence. Only a small percentage of this group continues life of criminal actions but calculate

This report contains a study of the effects of a special connection in the side of hollow core concrete elements. The connection is today used when the joists are supposed to contribute to the global stability. The study is based on the question of how the connections influence the deformation and the loadbearing capacity of the hollow core concrete elements. This study is made for the two smalles

A substantial part of the population on the African continent suffers massive human rights crimes. Torture, murder, enslavement and systematic rape of civilians occur on a daily basis in several African countries. The international trade of natural resources from Africa, such as diamonds and other minerals, finances violence and immense human rights violations. The purpose of this study is to exa

Climate change has adverse impact on people’s lives and millions are forced away from their habitual residence because of it. Most experts agree that our standard of living is to blame for such environmental consequences. If not stronger measures are introduced; the situation will deteriorate. The purpose of this essay is to explore if existing legal instruments can be used to protect environmenta

This essay explores and analyses the United Nations Security Council’s Resolution 1960 which address sexual violence in conflicts. This essays analyze is of the use of language in the resolution and the concepts used in the resolution. This essay will analyze the way women and men are portrayed and how the resolution uses the terms victim and perpetrator. The goal is to see how the language in the

There are benefits of weight optimized structures in many engineering fields. In civil engineering it can for instance be associated with cheaper structural parts and easier transportation. In this study a genetic optimization algorithm for weight minimization of steel trusses has been developed in MATLAB. Constraints regarding material strength and buckling stability are taken from “Eurocode 3: D

The controversy between development studies and postcolonial studies is characterized by a mutually critical approach towards the other field, a disinterest in response and consequently a lack of interaction. The ambivalence that emerges from this non-interactive debate underlines that as long as these academic fields stay separated nothing constructive will appear. From initially analyzing the re

Syfte med min uppsats är att undersöka huruvida det finns några indikationer på en möjlig maktförskjutning av staters ansvar för de mänskliga rättigheterna till att handla om företagen ansvar för dem, i Global Combact princip 1 och 2. För detta syfte har jag formulerat frågeställningen: Finns det i princip 1 och 2 i Global Compact indikatorer på att en maktförskjutning kan ske från stater till för

Rapporten inleds med en litteraturstudie i vilken kunskap och fakta om ämnena robusthet och progressiv kollaps inhämtas och redovisas. Med utgångspunkt från denna studie används sedan en matematisk metod, baserad på brottsannolikhetsberäkningar, föreslagen av P.H. Kirkegaard och J.D Sørensen [19] för att utvärdera robustheten hos två byggnaders takkonstruktion. De två byggnaderna som utvärderas är
