Abstract:

This thesis is a quest to find the relationship that justifies egoistic concern. I point out that what we are inclined to believe about the justification of egoistic concern, let's call it the Old Theory, is that personal identity is the relationship that justifies egoistic concern, that personal identity involves a deep further fact, and that physical and psychological continuity are good evidence for personal identity. I argue that, if personal identity involves the deep further fact, then physical and psychological continuity are not good evidence for personal identity and thus the Old T

Abstract:

Lärarrollen brukar först och främst ses som en altruistisk företeelse - läraren bör främst hänge sig åt andras behov. Trots att en sådan syn är tongivande idag är den oerhört problematisk. Denna essä ämnar att bidra till forskning om lärarrollen. Genom att använda Rousseaus idéer om det goda livet såsom de framställs i Emile, argumenterar jag för att lärarrollen ska vara egoistisk istället för främst altruistisk. Detta argument utvecklas genom tre teman: I, Happiness and Suffering; II, Compassion; III, The Egoistic Teacher. I korthet kan de två första teman anses vara förberedande inför det tr

Abstract:

Developing countries are dependent upon foreign capital since they lack adequate domestic means to save and invest in order to grow and develop. This thesis aims to evaluate the role of foreign capital inflows in enhancing economic growth in a sample of 90 developing countries between the years 1991 and 2006. Even though FDI is recognized as the most attractive key in economic development strategies, numerous international help organizations call for increased ODA flows since many developing countries do not seem to benefit from FDI. This study will closely look into the issue where FDI and OD

This thesis investigates the ways that different groups of people may perceive the experience of deafness.

It places the experience of deaf people at the centre of the study and u

In Norstedts Comprehensive English-Swedish Dictionary (2000) it is said that the numbered list of senses under each headword is frequency ordered.

For each verb, a simple search in the corpus was carried out, displaying 50 random occurrences. Each collocate was encoded with the most compatible sense from the numbered list of senses in the dictionary. The encoded tokens were compiled and listed in fr

Battlefield sites are some of the most iconic locations in any nation’s store of heritage attractions and continue to capture the imagination of visitors. They have strong historic, cultural, nationalistic and moral resonances and speak to people on a national as well as a local scale. They have the power to provoke contention but at the same time foster understanding and respect through the consideration of deep moral questions. Battlefields are suffused with powerful stories of courage, sacrifice, betrayal and even cowardice. They have a strong sense of place and can provoke a range of cogni

This research aims to explore the ways in which people understand and value heritage through a focus on the lay rather than the expert view. This focus was considered important in order to move beyond the emphasis on expert knowledge within heritage discourses and in turn, privilege lay understandings of heritage. This study adds to current knowledge by offering an in-depth understanding of the non-expert view of heritage and the multiple meanings and values that heritage represents within this context. The rationale for this research is based on the increasingly important role heritage plays

Complexure is designed to open up an alternative thesis genre.

It is not an exegesis of theories as such but a series of practical thought experiments about how sense can be generated. Complexure questions the provision of general definitions abstracted from experience. It investigates definitions "in process". It uses associations between texts to question the idea of "definitive" meanings or of closure, as w

Abstract:

This thesis examines meanings circulating about British Muslims in both sections of the British press and its audience. It addresses theoretical questions that have been raised which suggest that in the current political epoch, with its New World Order, Islam has been constructed as the necessary enemy of 'the West'. Consequently, Islam has been demonised in the Western media. This study attempts to verify these arguments and address criticisms of them, specifically the homogenisation of Islam, the West and its media, by concentrating on a specific genre within a specific context: the British

Abstract:

This dissertation is about the concept of home, captured through life stories of Lithuanian women in Edinburgh. I begin with the question where: where does home start, happen and where may be inhabited. I combine migration patterns from Lithuania to Scotland with the philosophy of place to capture the complex narrative of the concept of home. By linking politics of home (narratives about migration and belonging), and philosophical explanations of place (imaginaries of belonging to the place), I am questioning how home is made, done, created, or dreamed about.

Therefore, a mixed-method study was designed (1) to investigate whether readers who read an authentic illustrated story differed from those who read the same story without illustrations; and (2) to learn more about the readers’ process of learning words

The question of how language evolved has received an increasing amount of attention in recent years. Compared to seemingly more complex phenomena such as syntax, word meanings are usually seen as relatively easy to explain. Mainstream accounts in psycholinguistics and evolutionary linguistics assume that word meanings correspond to stable concepts which are prior to language and derive straightforwardly from human perception of structure in the world. Taking a cognitive linguistic approach based on psycholinguistic evidence, I argue instead that word meanings are conventions, grounded, learned
