Abstract:

The following thesis examines the poetic oeuvre of George Grosz in relation to selected drawings from the same period of time. A survey of the research on George Grosz shows that the scholarly focus has so far mainly been on his work as a visual artist, whereas his published poems have not been treated with as much attention. Furthermore, there exists no in-depth analysis of possible intermedial relations between his poetic and visual works, although titles of poems and drawings, editorial characteristics of the publication of poems and drawings respectively, and the themes of both sugges

Abstract:

The present study drew on Agnew's General Strain Theory (GST) to examine the relationship between strain, race, and delinquent behavior. To address this possible association, five hypotheses were tested to examine if different types of strain and stress exposure influence delinquent coping and if these relationships are conditioned by race and ethnicity. Using data from the Add Health Study, White, African American, and Hispanic adolescents, the present study attempts to generalize GST to different racial and ethnic groups.

Abstract:

General strain theory (GST) (Agnew, 1992, 2001, 2006a) is an established criminological theory. Although the theory has been examined by many and enjoys empirical support, some limitations of previous studies need to be addressed. First, previous studies have not incorporated all major types of strain in their models; hence, the effects of these strains on delinquency are unclear. Second, many previous studies did not include negative emotions and even negative emotions other than anger. Finally, and the most serious limitation, many previous studies rely heavily on samples from Western countr

Detta utförs med hjälp av Yvonne Hirdmans genusteorier och delvis av Ebba Witt-Brattströms teorier om könsanalog läsning. Intresset för detta uppkom utav att Maja Lundgren i synnerhet fick utstå mycket kritik beträffande sin roman "Myggor och tigrar" samtidigt som Lars Norén mestadels hyllades som en stor författare, trots verkens likh

Solar energy is incident on the earth's surface in both short-wave and long-wave parts of the spectrum. The short-wave part of the spectrum is of special interest to oceanographers since the vertical distribution of temperature in the top layer of the ocean is mostly determined by the vertical attenuation of short-wave radiation. There are numerous studies regarding the temperature evolution as a function of time (see Chapter 2 for details). The diurnal and seasonal variation of the heat content (and hence temperature) of the ocean is explored in this thesis. The basis for such heat budget sim

However, some differences between the groups investigated surfaced and this shows that the first language can infact effect what difficulties the learners will encounter.

Abstract:

I denna uppsats undersöks Pensionsmyndighetens interna och externa kommunikation i två olika texter för att finna vilka likheter och skillnader det finns mellan dessa, ur ett klarspråksperspektiv. Materialet består av en rapport och en broschyr som har inhämtats från myndighetens webbsida. För att kunna besvara syftet har rapporten jämförts mot broschyren, för att sedan sammanställas. Resultatet visar att det finns likheter i ordval, men att det även förekommer vissa skillnader som beror på vilken målgrupp texten riktar sig till. Målgrupperna sträcker sig både internt och externt inom myndighe

Abstract:

I det här arbetet blir två respondenter i åldrarna sex och sju, tillsammans med en förälder, tilldelade en varsin bok med döden som tema. Böckerna de blir försedda med är “Adjö, herr Muffin” av Ulf Nilsson och Anna-Clara Tidholm, samt “Dödenboken” av Pernilla Stalfelt. Undersökningen görs i syfte att förstå huruvida en barnbok kan öppna upp för allvarligare samtal mellan barn och förälder. Tanken med arbetet är att se huruvida bild och text tillsammans kan starta konversationer ur ett biblioterapeutiskt perspektiv. I början var tanken att undersökningen skulle rikta in sig på sorg hos barn och

Abstract:

El pronombre man es muy usado en sueco, tanto en lengua escrita como en lengua hablada. Es un pronombre indefinido que puede referirse a una persona o a varias y que puede tanto incluir como excluir al hablante. En esta tesina vamos a estudiar cómo se traduce man al español peninsular ya que no existe un pronombre equivalente que valga para todas las ocasiones. El análisis de una traducción del género de la novela negra que contiene muchos diálogos nos permite ver si existen diferencias entre la traducción de la narración y de los diálogos. Además, comparamos las varias construcciones usadas p

Abstract:

This essay uses some tenets of structuralism as well as the concept of “discourse” to analyze David Lodge’s novel Nice Work (1988). The opposite discourses of Academia and Industry, as expounded through the life and character of the main protagonists, are analyzed as they are exposed throughout the novel through the involuntary mingling of the main characters. The governing idea is that three separate discourses can be gleaned as a basic structure in the novel, forming a triad that suggests the idea of a possible synthesis, which is shown to be what propels the plot of the novel onward.
