This essay investigates the feminist philosophy of Rosi Braidotti with particular focus on the alternative feminine feminist nomadic subject that she creates. I also introduce Braidotti?s theoretical inspiration from Gilles Deleuze and Luce Irigaray. I argue that Braidotti creates an alternative figuration for feminism through synthesizeing Deleuze?s concept of ?becoming? with Irigaray?s sexual difference-theory.

Som med många svenska varor och tjänster, räcker inte den svenska marknaden till för att vara tillräckligt lönsam. Detsamma gäller även många modeföretag där exporten är nödvändig för att den svenska modebranschen skall ha möjlighet att utvecklas. I och med globaliseringen kan allt fler modeföretag expandera och agera på marknader världen över, vilket för konsumenten innebär ett brett utbud av internationella klädmärken. Konsumenterna blir samtidigt även allt medvetnare i sina val, vilket tillsammans med stark köpkraft betyder att de väljer att lägga extra pengar på varumärken. Allt större summor spenderas på sig själv, och konsumtion av kläder har övergått till att även vara ett sätt att kommunicera sin identitet.

The high viscosity of barley material makes starch isolation problematical using regular methods established for cereals. An adjusted starch isolation method has been set up for barley, based on fractionation and purification. The focus is on attaining truly representative isolates of six flour samples selected for widely differing characteristics within the research program BarleyFunFood (BFF). Beside establishment of the method, this diploma work aspires to serve the BFF with isolated material of sufficient yield valid for further starch characterisation. A pre study was conducted evaluating available wet mixing equipment, experimental conditions and mode of procedure.

Sett utifrån ett historiskt perspektiv kan utvärderingar spåras tillbaka till husförhören som ägde rum i Sverige under 1600-talet. Under denna tid utövade även staten kontroll på det övriga samhället genom präster samt inspektörer. I modern tid har USA kommit att bli en förebild för den sorts bedömning utvärdering innebär. Något som i USA benämns "evaluation", och har kommit att slå igenom och ligga till grund för den pedagogiska utvärderingen. Utifrån ett samhällsutvecklingsperspektiv har utvärdering blivit ett allt mer utbrett fenomen som övergått till att bli populärt under främst de senaste decennierna.

Detta examensarbete utreder en ny typ av spjällhus som optimerats för dragracing. Spjällhuset styr luftflödet till förbränningsmotorn och regleras av gashandtaget. Konceptet är utvecklat av Emtes Ingenjörsbyrå och i examensarbetet ingår att konstruera ett spjällhus med det nya konceptet för motorcykelmodellen Suzuki Hayabusa. Det standardmonterade spjällhuset är anpassat för gatubruk och ett brett effektregister. För dragracing är den maximala effekten avgörande och det standard monterade spjällhuset är en flaskhals vid WOT (Wide Open Throttle).För konceptet saknas dock fullständiga lösningar för diverse funktioner.

I vårt samhälle kan den smala kvinnliga kroppen uppfattas spegla attraktivitet, status, lycka och hälsa. Massmedia har starka influenser på denna kroppsdiskurs, då det sprids budskap om att ju mer kroppen liknar det smala kroppsidealet desto högre är dess värde. Den här studien syftar till att kartlägga och jämföra fysiska aktivitetsvanor och uppfattningar om kroppen samt samhällets kroppsnormer hos flickor på två kroppsfokuserande gymnasieinriktningar. Studien har utförts enligt en tvärsnittsdesign med en kvantitativ metod. Antalet medverkande var 101 flickor som studerade inom fysisk träning respektive skönhet och mode.

Konsumtion kan vara allt från ditt köp av tuggummi, ett par nya skor, en gammal päls från 70-talet, en resa till Indien, till en kebabrulle nere på hörnet. Samtidigt innebär detta att du betalar för smaker, utseende, åsikter, upplevelser, känslor och kulturer. Detta är att leva i ett konsumtionssamhälle. Det du konsumerar speglar vem du är och hur du vill att andra ska uppfatta dig ? alltså din identitet.

Sheep production is the only animal production in Sweden that is increasing. Therefore,increasing knowledge of the production is of great interest. In order to run a viable sheepproduction, producers needs to be successful in the breeding of the animals and achievean economic surplus in the end. Lambs that are born healthy and vital have greaterconditions to perform high lamb weight gains and thus a successful production. Thereare many factors affect the survival, birth weight and early weight gain of the new bornlamb.

The purpose of this paper was to look at the perception of self-determination for adults with intellectual disabilities from their perspective. We wanted to examine the experience of the space available for self-determination in some key areas of life, and how their own thoughts and ideas have been addressed by others. Through interviews with six people with intellectual disabilities, we have found that a single definition of self-determination is elusive. The key seems to be that you get the opportunity to do what you want, to have your voice heard and to receive and take responsibility. The space for self-determination is perceived by respondents as both large and small.

The way to acquire forest in Sweden from parents has been unequal, men were prioritized over women, which was the traditional inheritance pattern. Research has made this clearer by using gender, which ?values? our stereotypes of sexes and can help us understand inheritance patterns. The gender determined who would inherit but also the form of ownership, praxis, property rights, regulations, power and work invested made by a sibling could influence. The purpose with my study was to find what conditions governed inheritance of forest on the properties I investigated and what influence gender had.

Traditionally, rolling mills use emulsions based on a mixture of oil and water for lubrication. Since two years ago SAPA has been using (instead of oil) a synthetic lubricant so called conditional emulsion for hot-rolling of aluminum. This lubricant is water based and homogenous at ambient temperature, but switches to a two-phase system at heating above the cloud point.This project aims to validate and if necessary modify an existing HPLC method for quantifying two out of three key components (A, B and C) in the conditional emulsion. Attempts to develop a method to quantify the pH adjusting components, X and Y were also made. These two methods are required to optimize the lubricant.Due to the complexity of the components, it has been difficult to present a method for quantification, and HPLC with ELS detection was chosen after a long series of trials.

This thesis builds on the core problem: What Factors Affect IT-related Group Communicationwithin Oragnizations? With sub-questions: How does the daily communication in the workplacepresent itself? How can the individual affect communication? The purpose of this paper is toinvestigate which factors influence group communication positively and negatively, andhow communication affects the daily work in an organization. For this study, the fourinterviewees, from four different organizations, have been selected to participate in astructured interview conducted with the help of an interview guide. To analyse thequalitative data derived from interviews, a method of creating patterns and themes wasused. This is presented by selected quotations from the interviews in order to provide aricher depiction of the collected data.The result could indicate large gaps in both formal and informal communication, whereemail turned out to be one of the biggest single problems.

This report is about the shear force design of reinforced concrete according to Europe?s common dimension rules, Eurocode. The purpose is to describe the calculation procedure and the background to the formulas and expressions that occurs. Furthermore results from different calculation methods (hand calculations and computer calculations) will be compared to see how they differ.The goal with this is to go through the parts of Eurocode dealing with shear force and that this will lead to a clear review of these. You should also be able to see how results and the calculation procedure differ between different calculation methods.

AbstractOur study deals with intrapreneurship in local activity. The main purpose of this study is to understand, explain and develop the concept of intrapreneurship in local activity with the help of existing information, our discussion, and reasoning and with the help of theoretical concepts. One reason for the choice of this topic was our pure curiosity towards this quite unique and unexplored phenomenon. We know that the term intrapreneurship in local activity has not existed longer than about ten years and the amount of existing thesis of intrapreneurship in local activity is very few. The information about intrapreneurship in local activity is mainly collected by studying Örebro´s intrapreneurship policies but also by studying other local authorities in Eksjö, Umeå and Västra-Götaland.
