International organizations are important actors on the stage of world politics, and how these actors securitize the climate change issue is of importance for how it will be tackled by actors on global and national levels. The purpose of this study is to contribute to research on climate security discourses and how climate change is defined as a security concern amongst different actors. This study, in contrast to previous research, focuses on systematically mapping the definitions made by different international organizations by asking: whose security is at stake; who is responsible for responding to the threat; how is the nature of the threat defined; and what responses are suggested? By analyzing material consisting of a variety of documents and statements from five international organizations, I aim to identify differences between these actors ? in how the climate change issue is conceptualized from a security perspective. The result of the study shows that only one of the organizations shows clear elements of the national/geopolitical security discourse, while all of the other actors primarily use the human security discourse.

My problem comes out of the bigger question ?why the Catholic church is featured in horror films whenever a religious organization is in one?? I have detected in the horror films that I've seen that when a religious organization is in a horror movie it's the Catholic church that gets to act as church and religion. I have chosen the following problem: How is the Catholic church presented in the horror movies The Exorcist and The Rite, and how can one understand these presentations from a role theoretic perspective?Since role theory has it's background in the world of the theater with it's actors and roles, it came naturally to use role theory, and specifically Goffmans dramatic model. I've used this model in a film analysis of the movies.

This thesis is a qualitative study in which 12 award-winning printed adverts, awarded with either a Swedish ?GuldÀgg? or an international Clio Award, have been analyzed from a rhetorical perspective. Visual rhetorics were used to analyze the adverts in order to expose the rhetorical concepts and to find out whether the rhetorical concepts represented in the Swedish adverts are the same concepts represented in the international adverts. One of the conclusions drawn is that pathos-arguments, a rhetorical concept where the senders allude to the emotions of the receivers, are the most prominent in both Swedish and international adverts, but are used in different ways. Another conclusion drawn is that the adverts are overall characterized by their messages not being explicit.

The world is getting smaller. Global markets, political processes and communication technology bring people together. Even though many of these processes are dynamic and constructive, they have also resulted in a need for better and more effective ways of international conflict resolution. This thesis investigates central issues connected to the concept of humanitarian interventions in relation to current and future legislation of the European Union. The overall question is whether the rapid globalization process has resulted in a change of international law towards more liberal view where authorization of the security council is not always needed? And, if there has actually been such a liberalization, how does that affect the legal possibilities for the European Union to carry out armed operations without the consent of the global community?The conclusion of the thesis is that international law has been modified mainly in two aspects: First, the concept of sovereignty is no longer seen merely as a right of the nation, but also as a responsibility.

I den hĂ€r uppsatsen redogör jag för mitt arbete som C-foto pĂ„ lĂ„ngfilmen Äta, Sova, Dö dĂ€r jag jobbade i tvĂ„ mĂ„nader under vĂ„ren 2011. Man fĂ„r följa min vĂ€g frĂ„n förberedelserna jag gjorde inför filmen och mina tidigare erfarenheter i omrĂ„det, till hur det gick för mig pĂ„ inspelningen. Jag beskriver Ă€ven min undersökning av idĂ©arbete och produktionsprocesser inom lĂ„ngfilmen ur mitt perspektiv. Jag visar tvĂ„ olika sĂ€tt man kan arbeta med idĂ©arbete pĂ„ film utifrĂ„n intervjuerna jag gjorde med regissören Gabriela Pichler för Äta, sova, dö och filmregissören Johan Lundborg pĂ„ hans film Isolerad. Skildringar gör jag ocksĂ„ via intervjuerna jag hade med produktionsbolaget AFOS och teaterregissören Kent R Andersson mot hur idĂ©arbete fungerar under reklamproduktioner och teater. För att lĂ€ttare visa hur arbetet i de olika produktionerna kan se ut har jag sammanstĂ€llt produktionsprocesser för varje produktion steg för steg frĂ„n idĂ© till fĂ€rdig produkt..

Syftet med detta examensarbete Àr att se hur filmen Emil i Lönneberga kan anvÀndas som ett multimodalt verktyg i undervisningen för att öka elevers lÀsförstÄelse. Genom en jÀmförande och kvalitativ analys vill vi belysa möjligheterna och svÄrigheterna med att anvÀnda sig av enbart bok eller film i undervisningen. Efter en grundlig analys av sÄvÀl forskningsrapporter, tidigare forskning och kurslitteratur har vi kommit fram till att bÄde ovana och vana lÀsare gynnas av att se en film och lÀsa en bok som en kombination.  .

Ambitionen med mitt arbete var att skapa en vacker och intressant 3d-animation med den senaste datortekniken. Animationen bygger pÄ redan befintliga skisser, idéer och material som jag har skapat de senaste tvÄ Ären och ville avsluta i mitt kandidatarbete. Med detta arbete ville jag fÄ mer förstÄelse för 3d-tekniken som ett konstverktyg och lÀra mig mer om hur man skapar grafik. Jag ville Àven öka min estetiska förmÄga och kunskap. Genom att anvÀnda mig av grafikprogrammet ?Lightwave 3D? plus diverse andra applikationer som behandlar datorgrafik har jag skapat min film.

Climate change and sea level rise pose a growing threat to coastal cities, which will suffer from more frequent and extensive flooding in the future. Although the coastal city of Gothenburg is currently not affected to any great extent, the city will have to adapt in line with rising sea levels to protect infrastructure and ensure essential societal functions. The purpose of this study is to examine climate adaptation in Gothenburg, focusing on flood risks resulting from sea level rise. To gain a deeper understanding of the city?s specific circumstances, a qualitative research method was applied, using semi-structured interviews with officials working with flood adaptation within the city.

PÄ vilka sÀtt kan ett företag profilera sig och vad kan effekterna komma att bli? Hur uppfattas ett företag vid en drastisk imageförÀndring? Denna rapport gÄr igenom skaparprocessen över en re-design av en webbsida och framtagning av en presentationsfilm för att se om företaget Ligistfilm kan uppfattas pÄ ett nytt sÀtt. FrÄn en svart, mörk och maskulin webbsida till en ljus, modern och frigjord tillsammans med en presentationsfilm över hur Ligistfilm arbetar, tittar vi nÀrmare pÄ hur besökarnas syn pÄ företaget kan förÀndras. FörÀndringen innefattar Àven ett skifte i fokus, frÄn en webbsida med fokus pÄ företaget Ligistfilm till en webbsida med fokus pÄ individuella regissörer. AnvÀndartester som utförts visar hur Ligistfilm uppfattas utifrÄn den gamla webbsidan jÀmfört med den nya webbsidan tillsammans med presentationsfilmen..

Japanese horror film has since the late 1990: ies been extremely successful. The success could probably, at least partly, be due to the Japanese narrative style (which in my own opinion is quite suitable and effective in horror films). In what way does the Japanese narrative tradition work in matter of expression? My results point towards a narrative discrepancy between J-horror and American horror film, possibly due to the Japanese narrative tradition ? a narrative tradition under the influence of various forms of ancient Japanese theatre and general Japanese culture..

After a workshop in Kuopio held in June 2006, Interbull decided to go forward with the development of a system for beef international genetic evaluation and a three year project called Interbeef was launched in June 2007. The participating countries are so far limited to Europe and the only trait evaluated at present is adjusted weaning weight (weight at 200 days). The results from a first international genetic evaluation have been shared with the countries but are not yet official. The evaluation is based on data from purebred Charolais and Limousin. To achieve good estimates of proofs in an international context it is important that methods for data validation and model selection are implemented.

Since 2005 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has prescribed a mandatory requirement that all ?Publicly Consolidated Entities? abide by the ?International Financial Reporting Standards? (IFRS). However, due to a difference in institutional elements, between countries, differences in financial reporting are still possible. This essay aims to identify such differences between Swedish and British companies in their adaptation of the IFRS, specifically differences in; ?Disclosure Requirements for Goodwill? specified in ?IAS 36 p 134?.
