ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Investors often question the extent to which the state of the market affects returns in investment finance, and seek answers as to whether the market response to bad and good news is dependent on the level of the market. If this is true, investors who have the ability to identify events can make substantial amounts of money by identifying the state of the market before investing. This would then be in violation of the efficient market hypothesis. This study used the Conrad, Cornell and Landsman (2002) model to investigate whether the share price's response to bad news in South Africa changes with the relative level of the market. Conrad, et al. (2002) found enough evidence that the market's response to bad news increases with the increase in relative level of the market. Bhana (1996) supported this notion when he reported that investors overreacted to companies that announced negative earnings. A sample analysis of this study produced regression equations with insignificant unexpected earnings coefficients. One of the notable factors was that, for some observations, the retained earnings moved in the opposite direction with the unexpected earnings shocks. Malan (1998) found similar market reaction when he investigated the overreaction theory using three indices from Johannesburg Stock Exchange and he reported that the market could not distinguish between bad and good news as the results for both bad and good news yield either positive or negative abnormal returns. After introducing additional variables to allow for these opposite movements, CHANGE, the regression equation produced significant regression coefficients. The results of the study were directly opposite to the findings of Conrad, et al. (2002) and those in other existing literature. These indicated that the market responds strongly to good news in both good and bad market states. The study concludes by suggesting further areas for future research.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Beleggers bevraagteken dikwels die mate waarin die opbrengste in beleggingsfinansies deur marktoestande beïnvloed word, en wil weet of die markreaksie op slegte of goeie nuus van markvlakke afhang. Indien dit waar is, kan beleggers wat die vermoë het om vooraf gebeure te identifiseer, aansienlike hoeveelhede geld maak deur die toestand van die mark te bepaal voor hulle geld belê. Dit sal dan teenstrydig wees met die Doeltreffende markhipotese. Hierdie studie gebruik die Conrad, Cornell en Landsman-model (2002) om uit te vind of die aandeleprys se reaksie op slegte nuus in Suid-Afrika saam met die relatiewe vlak van die mark verander. Conrad, et al. (2002) het voldoende bewyse gevind dat die mark se reaksie op slegte nuus toeneem soos die relatiewe vlak van die mark toeneem. Bhana (1996) het hierdie gedagte ondersteun toe hy berig het dat beleggers oorreageer wanneer maatskappye negatiewe verdienste aankondig. 'n Steekproefontleding in hierdie studie het regressievergelykings met onbeduidende onverwagte verdienste-koëffisiënte gelewer. Een van die belangrikste faktore was dat die teruggehoue verdienste by sommige waarnemings in die teenoorgestelde rigting beweeg het met onverwagte verdienste-skokke. Malan (1998) het 'n soortgelyke markreaksie gevind toe hy die oorreaksie-teorie ondersoek het deur drie indekse van die Johannesburgse aandelebeurs te gebruik. Hy het berig dat die mark nie tussen slegte en goeie nuus kon onderskei nie omdat die resultate vir slegte sowel as goeie nuus positiewe of negatiewe abnormale opbrengste lewer. Nadat bykomende veranderlikes ingebring is om voorsiening vir hierdie teenoorgestelde bewegings te maak, het die regressievergelyking beduidende regressiekoëffisiënte opgelewer. Die resultate van hierdie studie staan lynreg teenoor die bevindinge van Conrad, et al. (2002) en dié van ander bestaande literatuur. Dit dui daarop dat die mark sterk reageer op goeie nuus in goeie sowel as swak marktoestande. Die studie word afgesluit met voorstelle vir verdere navorsing op hierdie gebied.

MacLeod, Alan. "Bad news from Venezuela." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2017. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8498/.
Full textAbstract:
This is a mixed methods research thesis on how the Western press covers Venezuela. It found a pronounced to overwhelming tendency for all newspapers to present the country, its economics and politics in an extremely negative light, presenting minority opinions on highly-contested and controversial issues as undisputed facts while rarely acknowledging opposing opinions existed and displaying an overwhelming aversion to the Venezuelan government and its project in the majority of articles, especially editorials. Drawing on Herman and Chomsky (1988) and Gramsci’s (1971) theories, it found the coverage shaped by the cultural milieu of journalists. News about Venezuela is written from New York or London by non-specialists or by those staying inside wealthy guarded citadel enclaves inside an intensely segregated Caracas. Journalists speak mainly to English-speaking elites and have little contact with the poor majority. Therefore, they reproduce ideas that are largely attuned to a Western, neoliberal understanding of Venezuela. Facing intense financial pressure, newspapers have outsourced their coverage to local journalists affiliated with the virulently partisan opposition, leading to a highly adversarial newsroom culture that sees itself as the “resistance” against chavismo. Journalists sympathetic to chavismo practice self-censorship and experts sharing differing opinions about Venezuela are commonly blacklisted from mainstream media.

Denna uppsats belyser hur förhörsledare väljer förhörsmetod och hur det kan påverka rättssäkerheten. Syftet var att undersöka hur erfarenheten påverkar förhörsledarens val av förhörsmetod samt hur erfarenheten tas tillvara och sprids inom Polisverksamheten. Studien har genomförts i samarbete med Polisen i Malmö. I undersökningen har förhörsledare och individer med gedigen kunskap inom området intervjuats. Resultatet visar att erfarenheten kan påverka rättssäkerheten, dock har det inte undersökts i vilken utsträckning den gör det. Förhörsledare tillämpar inte en specifik förhörsmetod utan använder sig av den fria berättelsen som är ett inslag i både PEACE-modellen och den kognitiva intervjumetoden. Resultatet visa vidare att respondenterna i stor utsträckning vill att erfarenheter av förhörsmetoder ska spridas på ett bättre sätt. Respondenterna uttryckte även att mer vidareutbildning inom området är önskvärt då metoderna bör följa samhällsutvecklingen.This thesis explores the way the interrogator chooses method of interrogation based upon experience and how this in turn will affect legal certainty. The purpose is to examine how the experiences within the police force will be taken advantage of and how it is disseminated within the organization. The study was conducted in cooperation with the Police in Malmö. By interviewing interrogators and persons with first-rate knowledge about the subject the researcher has tried to get as extensive research material as possible. The results show that experience can affect legal certainty, but the extent of this has not been further investigated. Interrogators do not use a specific interrogation method but uses the free story that is a feature in both the PEACE-model and the cognitive interview method. Furthermore, the experiences within the Police force in Malmö was examined and the results show that the respondents want this to be disseminated to a higher extent. The respondents also expressed that further education was most important and desirable as the methods develop to the same extent as society.

Full textAbstract:
Hotellet och badet i Mariefred ligger i korsningen mellan Storgatan och Gripsholmsvägen. Detta är även ingången till stadskärnan som präglas av mindre trähus och en hel del tegelbyggnader. Gripsholms slott som ligger söder om tomten är stadens viktigaste landmärke. Det är också där jag fått mycket av min inspiration. Dels tegelstrukturen och de runda formerna och bågformerna. Badet är ett viktigt koncept i mitt hotell. Det kom till efter att ha intervjuat Mariefredsbor som pratade mycket nostalgiskt om Strandrestaurangen som ligger på Mariefreds östra kust. Det är en stängd restaurang som bland annat hade kallbad. Det nya badet ska vara en del av staden på sådant vis att alla ska ha tillgång till dess utbud. Både hotellgäster och mariefredsbor ska kunna bada där. Återigen ska folk kunna samlas på en plats, njuta, umgås etc. Poolen har både en tempererad del inomhus och en större del utomhus. Man kan nå utomhusdelen av poolen genom att simma under en glasvägg eller helt enkelt genom att gå från utsidan. På plan 2 finns en till pool, endast för hotellgäster. Hotellets huvudingång är avskild från badets entré. Hotellet är på fem plan och varje plan har terrasser och trappar upp och blir mindre och mindre. Hotellets gestaltning präglas av bågformiga väggar i grå tegel och många glaspartier/fönster. Fönsterna är smala och höga och har olika avstånd beroende på hur fasaden ska upplevas. Byggnaden följer även böjningen på den viktigaste korsningen i Mariefred.The hotel and the public bath in Mariefred are located at the intersection of Storgatan and Gripsholmvägen. This is also the entrance to the town that is characterized by small wooden houses and a lot of brick buildings. The inspiration came from the brick structure and the circular shapes and arcuate shapes in the Gripsholm’s Castle, which is located south of Mariefred and it is the city´s most important landmark. The bath is an important concept for my project. It came after interviewing people from Mariefred who spoke very nostalgic about Strandrestaurangen - restaurant located on Mariefred’s east coast. It is a restaurant that closed due to mold, and had among other things cold bath. The new bath will be a part of the city in such a way that everyone should have access to its offerings. Both hotel guests and people living in Mariefred can come to swim there. Once again people will be able to gather in one place, enjoy, socialize, etc. The swimming pool has both a heated indoor part and a larger part that is located outdoors. You can reach the outdoor part of the pool by swimming through a glass wall or simply by walking from the outside. On the 2nd floor there is a pool, and it is only for hotel guests. The hotel's main entrance is separate from bath entrance. The hotel is on five floors and each floor has terraces that are stepping up and becoming smaller and smaller. The hotel's design is characterized by curved walls of gray brick and many glass walls / windows. The windows are narrow and high and have different distances depending on how the facade should be experienced. The building also follows the curvature of the main intersection in Mariefred.
Hotel i bazen u Mariefredu se nalazi na raskrsnici glavne ulice, Gripsholmsvägen. Ovo je takodje ulaz u grad, pun malim drvenim kućama i ciglenim zgradama. Gripsholms dvorac se nalazi na jugu Mariefreda i to je najvažnije obeležje ovog grada. Tu sam dobila najvecu inspiraciju, uglavnom sto se tice cigle, kruznih oblika i lucnog oblika. Bazen je važan koncept mom hotelu i mom projektu. I ta ideja je nastala nakon razgovora sa stanovnicima Mariefreda koji su govorili veoma nostalgično o Strandrestaurangen - restoranu koji se nalazi na istočnoj obali Mariefreda. To je restoran, kojeg su zatvorili zbog napada budja, a imao je između ostalog hladne kupke. Novi bazen će biti deo grada tako sto ce svako da ima pristup tim ponudama i zadovoljstvom koje takvo mesto pruza. Znaci, i gosti hotela i stanovnici Mariefreda ce moci tamo da se kupaju. Opet ce ljudi moći da se okupe na jednom mestu, da uživaju, da se druže, itd. Bazen ima jedan deo koji je unutra u hotelu, i jedan veći deo na otvorenom. Otvoreni deo može se dostići tako sto ces otplivati ispod staklenog zida ili jednostavno ces doci do njega od spolja. Na 2. spratu se nalazi bazen, samo za goste hotela. Glavni ulaz u hotel je odvojen od ulaza za bazen. Hotel se sastoji od pet spratova i svaki sprat ima terase koje se stepenasto smanjuju na gore. Dizajn hotela se karakteriše zakrivljenim zidovima sive cigle i mnogobrojnim staklenim zidovima / prozorima. Prozori su uski i visoki i imaju različite razdaljine u zavisnosti od toga kakav izraz fasada treba da da. Zgrada takođe prati krivinu glavnoj raskrsnici u Mariefredu.

Este trabalho analisa um modelo de má reputação com sistemas de rating como uma forma particular de memória limitada. Em cada período, um cliente preocupado apenas com ganhos correntes escolhe se contrata ou não um especialista. O cliente compreende as regras de transição do sistema, mas observa apenas a realização de um rating (uma nota) que carrega informação sobre o provável tipo de especialista para tomar a decisão de contrato. Um especialista do tipo estratégico escolhe prover ou não o tratamento correto quando contratado e um especialista do tipo ruim sempre oferece o tratamento mais caro, independentemente do problema observado. Quando clientes observam todo o histórico de interacões, um especialista estratégico ou tem fortes incentivos para oferecer o tratamento barato (quando o tratamento correto seria o mais caro) ou eventualmente a crença no mercado de que ele é do tipo ruim é suficientemente grande para que deixe de ser contratado. Quando clientes possuem apenas o sistema de rating como fonte de informação, este trabalho demonstra que não apenas é possível evitar esse efeito negativo, como também é possível aumentar os ganhos de equilíbrio em comparação à ausência de qualquer sistema informacional. Ademais, este trabalho desenha os sistemas ótimos do ponto de vista tanto do cliente quando do especialista para todas as crenças iniciais, discutindo como eles diferem em um sistema de dois estados e quando há ganhos de eficiência.
We study a bad reputation model with rating system as a special form of limited memory. At each period, a myopic customer knowing the rules of the system but observing only a current public realization of a finite set of states uses this information to infer expert's type and take hiring decisions. A strategic expert chooses whether or not to provide correct treatment whenever hired and a bad (committed) expert always proposes an expensive treatment. With full memory, a patient expert cannot refrain from gaining reputation of being bad or lying to separate herself from a bad type. With rating systems, we show that it is possible not only to overcome bad reputation effect, but generate higher equilibrium outcomes relative to trivial information censoring (no memory at all). We characterize optimal systems from customer and strategic expert's point of view in a two-state setting for all prior beliefs and show how they differ and when a rating system can bring efficiency to experts' markets.

Full textAbstract:
It must be a bad child I build rooms, installations, where I combine objects into scenes. This scene is an attempt to portray feelings and mental states surrounding sexual abuse. I'm building a girls' room, but it's more of a psychological place than a real room. I want to let the girl take place and show a trauma that lives in the hidden, depending on the environment not seeing, in the public space. It's about living with memories of a trauma in a traumatized body. I place two larger sculptures in the installation, a girl and a woman, who share the (mental) room. Selection of materials is an important part of my practice. In my installations there is almost always a feeling of discomfort, that things are not what they seem at first. I use the expectations that exist around different materials and what they symbolize and create uncertainty in the room by, for example, giving them new places and functions. I use film to get movement into the installation. The sculptures come to life through the film. The film contains no sound when I see the state I portray as silent.

My thesis work revolves around investigating painting’s relationship with “bad taste” and heroism. By comparing my paintings to illustrative depictions of “heroism”, artists who turn bad art good, ideas concerning modesty, humor, and invention I will contextualize my stance towards “heroism” and bad taste. By establishing my relationship to the aforementioned examples I will trace the growth of my work over the past few years and discuss how its role within contemporary painting has changed as well as how it interacts with various cultural references.

Full textAbstract:
This research is aimed at deepening our understanding of the positive consequences of negative emotional states, in particular guilt and empathy. While past research has suggested that negative emotional experiences create aversive states that motivate actions aimed at addressing the source of the negative emotion, the current work shows that affective responses arising out of negative experiences can, at times, have positive implications for consumer behavior. The aim of this dissertation is to extend our understanding of the influence of such negative emotional experiences on consumer behavior in two separate domains—when feeling bad for the self (i.e., guilt) and when feeling bad for others (i.e., empathy). I do so by articulating conceptual frameworks for when each emotional state will lead to positive consumer consequences and by identifying novel mediators and boundary conditions for the observed effects. In essay 1, I show that guilt, the negative emotion stemming from a failure to meet a self-held standard of behavior, leads to preferences for products enabling self-improvement, even in domains unrelated to the original source of the guilt. Importantly, I demonstrate that only guilt—not other negative emotions (i.e., shame, embarrassment, sadness, or envy)—has the unique motivational consequence of activating a general desire to improve the self. This desire for self-improvement subsequently spills into other domains and spurs self-improving product choices. In essay 2, I propose that negative reviews, when perceived as undeserved, can trigger positive consumer responses towards the firm. Importantly, I demonstrate that such positive responses from undeserved negative reviews occur because consumers can experience empathetic feelings for firms being wronged. Overall, I bring light to novel downstream consequences of two emotion experiences, guilt and empathy, in consumer behavior. I conclude by identifying potential avenues for future research and discussing the theoretical and managerial implications of the work.Business, Sauder School of

La tesi doctoral neix de la descoberta del neologisme "Bad Fans" trobat en una crítica publicada a The New Yorker escrita per Emily Nussbaum, crítica de televisió. En aquest text es qüestionen les emocions d'alguns espectadors a la recepció de la sèrie de televisió Breaking Bad (AMC 2008 - 2013, Vince Gilligan). Arran de la descoberta d'aquest neologisme, es van plantejar les preguntes d'on, com i per què sorgeix aquest neologisme i què significa. Per a això es fa un llarg estudi sobre la narrativa desenvolupada per la sèrie Breaking Bad dins el conjunt de la televisió contemporània nord- americana i la seva inclusió en l'anomenada "Complex TV" (televisió complexa). El treball revela determinades característiques, entre elles, el desenvolupament de la narració d'una manera determinada, que, entre altres coses, busca la confusió de les emocions dels espectadors a través dels diferents recursos narratius. Es fa necessari l'estudi sobre el perfil de l'espectador contemporani i de les emocions que sorgeixen, sobre la base que es creen a partir de factors cognitvos i afectius / comunicatius. Així mateix, s'estudia la creació del significat que construeix la narració i la que fa l'espectador sobre la mateixa. Aquest espectador contemporani viu hiperconnectat, participa i interactua, comparteix i rep extensions de la pròpia narració, entre les quals s'inclouen els textos dels crítics de televisió. En conseqüència s'analitza el paper de la crítica de la televisió i d'alguns dels textos apareguts sobre Breaking Bad, per avaluar la narració i constatar l'existència i la importància del pluralisme crític, que accepta el diàleg amb l'espectador. Es conclou, entre altres coses, que no hi ha espectadors bons o dolents, sinó també una pluralitat.La tesis doctoral parte del descubrimiento del neologismo “Bad Fans” encontrado en una crítica publicada en The New Yorker escrita por Emily Nussbaum, crítica de televisión.

In this text, the emotions of some viewers at the reception of the television series Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008 - 2013, Vince Gilligan) are questioned. As a result of the discovery of this neologism, the questions were raised of where, how and why this neologism arises and what it means. To do this, a long study is made of the narrative developed by the Breaking Bad series within contemporary North American television and its inclusion in the so-called “Complex TV” (complex television). The work reveals certain characteristics, among them, the development of the narrative in a certain way, which, among other things, seeks to confuse the viewers' emotions through the different narrative resources. It is necessary to study the profile of the contemporary viewer and the emotions that arise, on the basis that they are created from cognitive and affective / communicative factors. Likewise, the creation of the meaning that the narrative builds and that made by the viewer about it is studied. This contemporary viewer lives hyperconnected, participates and interacts, shares and receives extensions of the narrative itself, including the texts of television critics. Consequently, the role of television criticism and some of the texts that have appeared on Breaking Bad are analyzed to evaluate the narrative and verify the existence and importance of critical pluralism, which accepts dialogue with the viewer. It is concluded, among other things, that there are no good or bad spectators, but also a plurality.

Full textAbstract:
The balance between cell proliferation and cell death is imperative for homeostasis in
multicellular organisms. This homeostasis had long been thought to be the result of
two separate processes, but there is recent evidence indicating that the processes of
proliferation and apoptosis are coupled. Here we demonstrate that Bad, a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that is thought to exert a deathpromoting
effect by heterodimerization with Bcl-xL, is able to interact directly with the cell cycle machinery. Immunoprecipitation experiments indicate that Bad interacts
with both Cdk2 and its late Gi cyclin partner, Cyclin E. This finding is relevant as we also demonstrate that prior to the conversion of Bad into a death factor; Bad’s
phosphorylation state in healthy mammalian cells, specifically at Ser- 170, is able to
influence cell cycle progression. Here we show that transfection with Bad Si 70A, a
mutant form of Bad which mimics the unphosphorylated form, results in a prolonged
S phase during cell cycle. We also show that the kinase activity towards Bad Ser- 170
increases in S phase of the cell cycle. Together this suggests that Bad Ser-170 is a
phosphorylation site which is targeted during S phase and is able to interfere with the normal progression through S phase of the cell cycle. From this, it was of interest to elucidate the kinase responsible for phosphorylating Bad at Ser-170 as it may provide insight into signal transduction pathways that converge in terms of controlling both survival and cell proliferation, and ultimately cell expansion. Through a process of
column purification, usage of chemical inhibitors, and gene knockdown, we show
evidence that CaMKII-γ mediates the phosphorylation of Bad Ser 170, thus
establishing a novel connection between CaMKII signaling and apoptosis in
hematopoietic cells. We hypothesize that CaMKII-γ plays a major role in controlling
Bad’s ability to induce apoptosis and to affect cell cycle progression, by controlling
Bad’s phosphorylation state at Ser-170.

Full textAbstract:
Nietzsche is a name not often invoked in relation to the topic of responsibility. This study reveals, however, that his work engages vigorously with the problem of responsibility in modernity on both the conceptual and methodological levels. In the concept of "e; bad conscience,"e; Nietzsche presents a " dangerous and multi-coloured " alternative to the more monochrome varieties of self-consciousness which ground theories of individual responsibility in the work of other modern philosophers, such as Locke and Kant. The complexity of Nietzsche's approach to self-consciousness allows him to shed light on the range of interconnected practices of responsibility and irresponsibility that characterize modern life. It also raises pressing questions about the possibility and conditions of philosophy in modernity. In grappling with " bad conscience" within the performative structures of his own thought, Nietzsche makes experimental use of methodological resources drawn from both the ancient and modern traditions of Western philosophy. In particular, this study examines Nietzsche's appropriation and " reinterpretation" of meditational methods which form part of the ancient philosophical " art of living," and which re-emerge in altered form, in the work of Descartes. In Nietzsche's writings, such methods are used to provoke and reflect upon the passions of " bad conscience," a dangerous practice which involves the risk of exacerbating this " illness," but which also promises to give birth to new insight and skill in confronting the problem of responsibility in modernity.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years scientists have been attempting to develop synthetic blood substitutes in order to counter both the shortage in donor blood and the problems associated with infection and disease during allogeneic transfusion. Most attempts have been made at mimicking the oxygen carrying capabilities of red blood cells yet there is still a broad array of substances in use today that try to simulate the effects of whole blood, not just the red blood cell itself. This literature based thesis extensively discuses the importance of all blood components and reviews the recent developments and problems associated with volume expanders, oxygen carriers which are further subcategorized into hemoglobin-based substitutes and perfluorocarbons, erythropoietin use, and autologous blood transfusions. Their short term use has potential benefits but in the long term some of their shortcomings include hypertension, hypoproteinemia, thrombus formation, abnormal vasoactivity, anaphylaxis, and ischemic reperfusion injury, all of which tend to overshadow their benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Mitt förslag till det nya badhuset i Västertorp inkluderar och programmerar parken, och gör den till en plats som är tillgänglig och välkomnande, och som på samma gång skyddar mot ljud och buller från motorvägen. Ett bullerskydd i form av en jordvägg reser sig bredvid det befintliga cykelstråket som går parallellt med E4:an. Norr om denna breder sig ett taklandskap med växtlighet ut, med möjlighet för fotgängare att korsa platsen hur man vill, i alla riktningar. En basketplan och ett utomhusgym förväntas ge mer liv till parken, tillsammans med gröna ytor för picknick och fika med skydd från bullret. I landskapet höjer sig anonyma volymer med fasader av träpanel. Volymerna skapar rum i taklandskapet som besökare rör sig emellan. De kan användas till att luta sig emot, användas som bollplank, ryggstöd men de väcker också nyfikenhet och frågor kring vad som finns därinne. Den glasade fasaden på en av byggnaderna välkomnar besökaren till ett café, och det är också entrén från taket till badhuset. Badhuset är delvis nedgrävt och ansluter till den gångbana som ligger bakom byggnaden, då byggnaden följer de befintliga höjdkurvorna kommer gångbanan längst norr att hamna i samma nivå som byggnaden. Detta skapar en koppling mellan skogen, taklandskapet och till sist den befintliga parken. Detta stråk går tvärs över byggnaden. Under marken i den södra delen av byggnaden finns två idrottshallar, med mindre omklädningsrum, gym och en sal för gruppträning. Badhuset har en 25-metersbassäng för tävlings-, och träningssimning. Det finns även en undervisningsbassäng, en motionssimningsbassäng samt en spaavdelning med pooler inspirerade av turkiska bad, hammam, som erhåller olika temperaturer. Samt karbad som skapar en privat del om så önskas. Det befintliga utomhusbadet kopplas samman med det nya badhuset genom en trätrall som går ut från byggnaden och ut till bassängen. Byggnaden inhyser även omklädningsrum i bottenplan särskilt tilltänkta för utomhusbadets gäster. Tre av de volymer som höjer sig ur taklandskapet har formen av de tre största bassängerna. Förhoppningen är att om man som besökare på badhuset har badat i bassängerna, ska känna till de volymer som har dess form. Detta ger en igenkänning av var man befinner sig i badhuset fast man står i taklandskapet. De rum som bassängerna är placerade i har dubbel takhöjd precis ovanför bassängen. I taket är takfönster placerade för att leda in dagsljus, och skapa en skillnad i vart det är en bassäng och inte. Det finns en öppning till i taket, och det är en oas som inleder spaavdelningen. Även takfönster i en del av idrottshallarna leder ner dagsljus i dessa.My suggestion to the new bathhouse in Västertorp, Stockholm, is to partly bury it in the park to give the park the possibility to continue to be a place where pedestrians and bikers can continue to pass by the park without being stopped and irritated by a building. Even though it is partly buried, it connects with a path, which is important today in this area, to combine the beginning of the park with the connecting Telefonplan. The volumes, which rise from the park, create spaces to hang out in, and makes people want to know what is in there. The building embodies two big halls for sports, together with changing rooms and a smaller hall for a gym. The bathhouse features a 25-meter swimming pool for training and competitions, a pool for education, and one for slower exercise swimming. There are also a section for spa and sauna. The existing outdoor pool is connected with a wooden deck from the new building, and it contains the new changing rooms for the outdoor pool. The three pools inside the new building under the park have double ceiling height above the pools. For a visitor the wish is to get them to recognize the volumes from outside to reflect on where they are located on the roof. These volumes also have glass in the roof, which leads the daylight in the spaces where the pools are located.

Full textAbstract:
In large software development projects the majority of code comments are written at the beginning of the project and tend to not be updated when the code is rewritten. This commonly results in code with incorrect comments or no comments at all. This study intends to answer whether incorrect comments can mislead programmers and if well written comments assist programmers ininterpreting new code. Furthermore, the attitudes towards code comments are investigated. The research questions were answered with data from forms andc ode tests run on 35 engineering students. For the code tests eye trackers were used to provide a clear picture of how much the participants read the code and the associated comments. A majority of the test subjects agreed that comments are important whilst 8% considered comments to be unnecessary. 50% of the test subjects expressed positive feelings towards writing comments. The data from the eyetracker showed that the test subjects read comments and code equally. Thes tudy found that incorrect comments in many cases lead to misconceptions. Correct comments were shown to assist the programmer if the code contained library functions that the programmer was not familiar with. Regarding correct comments versus no comments at all there was no difference in readability if the code did not contain any library functions.I stora mjukvaruprojekt skrivs majoriteten av kodkommentarerna i början av projektets livscykel och tenderar att med tiden att sluta uppdateras när koden skrivs om. Detta kan resultera i såväl okommenterad kod som felaktiga kommentarer. Denna studie avser att besvara frågeställningen om huruvida felaktiga kommentarer kan leda till att programmerare missförstår koden samt om korrekta kommentarer kan assistera programmerare vid tolkning av skriven kod. Vidare undersöktes attityder kring kodkommentarer. Frågeställningarna besvarades med data från formulär och kodtester utförda på 35 ingenjörsstudenter. Vid kodtesterna användes eye trackers för att skapa en tydlig bild av i vilken utsträckning testpersonerna läste koden och kommentarerna. En majoritet av deltagarna ansåg att kodkommentarer är viktiga, 8% ansåg kommentarer vara oviktiga och resten ställde sig neutrala. 50% av deltagarna uttryckte positiva känslor till att skriva kommentarer. Från eye trackern kunde det påvisas att deltagarna läste kommentarer i liknande utsträckning som de läste kod. Studien fann att felaktiga kommentarer i många fall leder till missförstånd. Korrekta kommentarer visades vara till hjälp då programmerare stötte på biblioteksfunktioner de inte var bekanta med. Det var däremot ingen skillnad mellan korrekta kommentarer och inga kommentarer för de kodexempel som ej innehöll biblioteksfunktioner.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides an account of the nature of intellectual vice. An intellectual vice is an aspect of someone’s character that makes them a bad intellectual agent, or bad knower. Previous accounts of the intellectual vices have tended to identify them with either the disposition to have bad epistemic motivations, or the disposition to produce bad epistemic effects. I argue for a new view that can overcome the difficulties faced by both of these accounts. According to this view, there are two distinct forms of intellectual vice: vices that involve motivations towards bad epistemic ends, and vices that involve some entrenched pattern of bad judgement.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore the disconnect between calls for safe zones as a tool of humanitarian intervention, and the dark history of safe zone failure. This thesis begins with a brief discussion of current calls for safe zones in Syria, and how a proper theoretical framework and historical understanding are needed to discuss whether or not safe zones can be successfully implemented in Syria. The following literature review discusses not only prominent academic arguments and the history of humanitarian intervention, but it suggests a framework for deconstructing case studies. This framework looks first at the interests of an intervening actor. The level of interest of that actor directly informs its willingness to overcome the challenges of safe zone implementation. The challenges of safe zone implementation are both practical and existential. If an actor’s interest in a given crisis is not great enough to make it willing to overcome these practical and existential challenges, or the actor is willing to overcome them but lacks the ability to do so, the safe zone will fail. In most cases of failed safe zones, moral hazard plays a role. Moral hazard can be evident in either the intervening actor’s decisions or the decisions of the international community to support or not support the intervention. This thesis then deconstructs three historical cases of safe zones with this method: Srebrenica in Bosnia, Operation Provide Comfort in Iraqi Kurdistan, and Operation Turquoise in Rwanda. Following these three case studies, this paper discusses safe zones in Syria with the help of this method and the broad historical understanding of safe zones established through the case studies. This thesis concludes with a discussion of how the analysis and available historical cases show that safe zones are dangerous tools of humanitarian intervention and should not be undertaken without adequate levels of interest and willingness to address challenges.

Since the 1990s, medical and media articles containing the word "obesity" inevitably included the word "epidemic" as well. These articles usually pointed to the exponential growth in overweight and obese persons in high-income and low-income countries alike. A recent field of literature called "fat studies" has sought to question this so-called epidemic, bringing to light inconsistencies or down-right falsehoods present in obesity research. While researchers in this field have importantly uncovered many myths surrounding obesity and overweight, examinations of the rhetorical strategies used to approve potentially dangerous weight loss or weight maintenance procedures remain few.
This thesis project hopes to cover just a portion of that gap by examining two groups targeted most directly by obesity researchers: women and children. Particularly, this research examines potentially dangerous recommendations made by doctors and the media to pregnant obese women and obese adolescents. Ultimately, this project uncovers dualisms of wrong versus right bodies and fat stigmatization in the "objective" language of health about obesity. This polemic leaves pregnant women and adolescents little choice except either to conform or to face a world of media and medicine that blames these two groups for the "choice" to remain fat.Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
This study focus on Western constructions of two categories of women – the female Kurdish fighters of the YPJ and the Western Muhaajirat – actively engaging in the Syrian conflict at the time of writing. Using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis in combination with postcolonial feminist theory, I have scrutinized 12 news pieces selected from Swedish, British and North American influential news media houses, in order to provide a deeper understanding of the discourses underpinning these constructions. The outcome of the analysis show that news media tend to reproduce reductionist and orientalist views on these particular women. The YPJ is generally constructed as the liberated woman and the ideal Other, whereas the Western Muhaajirat tend to be understood as the victim and/or conservative and backwards, thus neatly positioning them as opposites so as to promote specific (Western) ways of progression, development and gender equality. Women’s agency is constructed and judged according to Western standards, and results in the continuous reproduction of imperialist discourses and the European gender order where femininity remains less valuable than masculinity.

The following thesis is comprised of an edited interview between Andrew Meerow and an undisclosed questioner in which the two discuss Meerow’s visual thesis, a body of paintings titled “Some Examples of Displacement.” The interview addresses the production of art and value as Meerow's primary subject, a reflexive position that absorbs qualitative interpretation in either direction. In keeping with the intentions of the artwork, the interview is re-organized, censored, and collaged such that the discussion itself is addressed not as a procedure of truth, but as a performative gesture toward that pursuit.

Full textAbstract:
The theoretical frameworks of transaction cost economics and agency theory are widely used to design appropriate governance structure for constraining opportunism within marketing channels. These approaches generally assume that marketing channel managers are opportunistic, and only economic constraints deter opportunism in exchange relationships. However, some empirical studies have shown that managers do not always behave opportunistically even if conditions permit such behavior. In addition, some researchers have proposed a â cycle of self-fulfilling prophecyâ and have argued that the uncritical assumption of opportunism and excessive use of control mechanisms such as monitoring only exacerbates the problem. Thus, it is important to identify conditions in which opportunism likely occurs.
The present research argues that marketing channel managers exhibit differing propensities for opportunism (PFO), and it spans three levels of analysis to identify contributing factors. The individual-level analysis treats marketing channel managers as a heterogeneous population and investigates the impact of individual traits on their behaviors in business relationships. At the dyadic level, I modify standard microeconomics models to incorporate norms of fairness. Finally, the extra-dyadic level of analysis goes beyond the traditional dyadic focus to include network-wide social influence on a relationship. Using the data collected from 162 unit franchieees. the hypotheses were tested using structural path analyses.
The findings of this dissertation provide guidance on the extent to which costly and potentially damaging control mechanisms are really necessary in a given marketing channel relationship. Overall, the research contributes to the existing literature by re-examining a fundamental behavioral assumption about marketing channel managers and providing an alternative framework that can meaningfully inform us as to when and why opportunism occurs.Ph.
