Interior window shutters can be found in historical buildings, but they are an uncommon occurrence in modern buildings. In modern contemporary construction, large glass panels are often the ideal because of increased light inflow and for architectural purposes. However, this can generate several negative effects, such as increased energy loss, lack of privacy and high sunlight penetration. Problems that window shutters could have accommodated historically. This thesis identifies a lack of knowledge about interior window shutters in the Swedish building stock.

In this essay I have aimed to examine how the theology of Paul Tillich relate to modern views of reality, both the way it was expressed in his contemporary time and the way I see it today. Reality I have defined as an entirety of the physic- and metaphysic reality. A so called panentism where God is reality and the world is a part of this reality.With Tillichs Systematic Theology as my principal material, I have first made a brief presentation of his theology, of its construction and main concepts. Then I have chosen to further examine the way he describes being, reason and revelation to see how this particular concepts of Tillich agree with my definition of reality. In this I have consulted the books Tillich in Dialogue by Mackenzie-Brown and Natural Theology Versus Theology of Nature, a book edited after the forth international Tillich symposium 1992, which had "Tillichs thinking as impetus for a discourse among theology, philosophy and natural sciences" as a theme.I have tried to point out the possibilities opened up by the ontology and epistemology of Tillich for the dialogue between theology and natural sciences.

Uppsatsen syfte är att identifiera och beskriva diskurser som omgärdar växelvis boende genom att analysera föräldrars tal om/konstruktioner av föräldraskap. Föräldrar vars barn bor växelvis hos de båda föräldrarna. Studien har följande frågeställningar:? Hur talar föräldrar med erfarenhet av växelvis boende om detta?? Hur konstruerar de i sina utsagor föräldraskap ?sitt eget och andras?? Hur könas detta tal?? Vilka diskurser kan urskiljas i föräldrarnas tal om föräldraskap och växelvis boende? ? Hur kan dessa förstås?? Hur samspelar de olika diskurserna med varandra?Studien baseras på kvalitativ metod och utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio föräldrar med växelvis boende. De teoretiska perspektiven är postmodernism, socialkonstruktivism, konstruktioner av föräldraskap, konstruktioner av kön och kritisk diskursanalys.

Are different ways of life possible in a world that increasingly becomes "Westernized" or globalized? This study examines and analyzes the diverse and complex way of life that includes socioeconomical nomadism as the Irish Traveller community are availing themselves of on the island of Ireland. In a broader perspective the study of the Travellers is put in context to how modern society emerged, and what characterizes the contemporary western societies. This is to understand the way Travellers nomadic lifestyle has been constrained and how the interrelationship between the dominant society and the extended family group constituting Travellers social composition has affected their livelihoods. Their social role is considered from two identification points ? home and work.Nomadism as a phenomenon, its history, expression and possible motives are being described in this work.

De som idag saknar möjlighet att tillägna sig kunskap om hur en dator fungerar, riskerar att hamna utanför hela den demokratiska processen. Problemet med modern teknologi är att man i de flesta fall måste veta hur den fungerar för att kunna tillgodogöra sig dess funktion. Genom intervjuer och enkäter ger undersökningen indikationer på hur äldre människor över 55 år (seniorer) nyttjar datorer och Internet (IT)..

The teaching of modern foreign languages within Swedish educational system has been a subject of a number of alarming reports in recent years. Several studies have shown that students lack motivation to learn any language but English. Of particular concern is the young males? underachieving and disinterest in foreign languages. In the meantime, a number of international studies and the statistical data from Swedish national agencies of secondary and higher education (Skolverket and Högskoleverket) have indicated that Russian is one of the languages that are favoured by males. The primary goal of my case study was, therefore, to examine students? motivation to learn Russian and their attitudes towards language, community and Russian-speaking people.

Abraham is the original patriarch. How does his leadership compare with a modern day popular culture patriarch with his roots in advertising, the shopkeeper Stig, star of the ICA advertising? The essay compares the leadership and masculinity of two male leaders from different backgrounds and settings, and discusses similiarities and differences.

AbstractIn this essay I examine the exegetical problems concerning the interpretation of the metaphor ???????????????? in 2 Corinthians 2:14.The regular idea of the metaphor is that the apostle Paul is using the picture of a Roman triumph to describe the apostle?s and his co-worker?s service for God. This includes that God is leading them into many sufferings finished off with a martyr death as the triumph was very painful for its prisoners and mostly ended with an execution. But since A.D 300 such an interpretation has been questioned. Scholars react primarily to the cruelty of it and ask if that really was Paul?s meaning.

Hjärtsvikt är en folksjukdom där prevalensen har uppskattats till cirka 2 %. Sjukdomen innebär att hjärtats funktion är försämrad. Idag behandlas hjärtsvikt vanligtvis med ACE-hämmare, betablockerare och ibland spironolakton. Spironolakton är en mineralkortikoidreceptorantagonist, som i RALES-studien (1999) har visat goda effekter på mortalitets- och morbiditetsreduktion hos hjärtsviktspatienter när den gavs som tillägg till ACE-hämmare. Idag är det ännu inte helt känt hur läkemedlet utövar sin effekt.

I denna uppsats presenteras en studie kring hur engelska ord i en för övrigt svensk text påverkar läsarens uppfattning av texten och dess författare. Två gymnasieklasser har fått läsa en text vardera, en helsvensk text med enbart svenska ord och en engelskinfluerad text som innehåller mer engelska lånord. Texterna är identiska förutom gällande just ordvalet. De har därefter fått svara på samma enkät som efterfrågade hur tillförlitlig, modern, intressant samt lätt- eller svårläst de har ansett att texten var. I enkäten ombads även eleverna att fylla i hur stort förtroende de kände för textförfattaren, hur gammal de trodde att hen var, samt om de trodde att hen var kvinna eller man.

Villkoren för krigföring befinner sig i ständig förändring och tempot med vilket de ändras ökar. Det här för med sig allt fler faktorer att ta hänsyn till när de samtida förutsättningarna för krig och konflikter skall förstås och hanteras, och bland dessa finns medierna och deras sätt att rapportera från konflikter. Tidigare forskning inom området har visat att ett lands mediers rapportering från konflikter tenderar att spegla nationens utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiska orientering, vilket i sådana fall innebär att sättet på vilket ett lands medier rapporterar från en konflikt kan påverka omvärldens uppfattning om landet i sin helhet.Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om svensk medierapportering alltjämt speglar den svenska utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiska orienteringen, eller om den tenderar att uppvisa en mer självständig roll. Undersökningen sker genom en fallstudie av svensk nyhetsrapportering från en konflikt i Sveriges närområde i modern tid. Via metoden framinganalys jämförs Svenska Dagbladet och Dagens Nyheters rapportering från Krimkrisen 2014 med ett antal teman ur svensk utrikes- och säkerhetspolitisk orientering, i både historisk och modern tappning.Resultatet visar att nyhetsrapporteringen från den aktuella tidsperioden går i linje med den svenska utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiska orienteringen och att det finns tydliga inslag av såväl historiska drag såsom neutralitet och alliansfrihet, som av moderna drag avseende internationalism med betoning på multilateralt samarbete..

It is a well known archaeological concern that the remains of human bones left from the bronze age and early iron age Scandinavia are not nearly enough to represent the estimated population of the time. Furthermore the bones of each find rarely represent a whole individual. The majority of the bones must have been disposed of somewhere else, possibly scattered in running waters or in the fields, where they have evaporated or are securely hidden from archaeological excavations.This thesis deals with the grave concept and the problem in using a word that is so very clouded by its modern, western meaning. It also offers an alternative explanation to why the bones are handled the way they are and why they are found in such awkward contexts..
