Freedom of speech has been a well discussed subject. Great philosophers and theoretics like Plato, Voltaire, Locke and Mill have again and again showed the importance of freedom of speech. Since the world have become bystanders to a series of events that can only classify as crimes aganst freedom of speech, it has become more important to study the phenomenon and analyse it. By finding cases where the freedom of speech has been compromised and analyse them in frames of three different theories, the argument of truth, the argument of democracy and the argument of tolerance, this paper makes the boundaries of freedom of speech a little clearer, and also makes a discussion about how reasonable the boundaries are possible. Everything according to the three theories.

The effect of moderate incongruency between a celebrity endorser and an advertised brand is considered in an experiment with celebrities, both congruent and moderately incongruent with the investigated brands. In addition, the influence of possible moderator variables was examined, as well as the potential impact of the celebrities? gender. It was found that an ad exposing a moderately incongruent combination of celebrity and brand generated a more positive result on attitude towards the ad, brand attitude and word of mouth. Furthermore, under some conditions certain moderator variables influenced the relationship between moderate incongruency and responses evoked by the ad..

Google använder sig av över 200 olika variabler i sin algoritm för att utvärdera en webbplats. Vad exakt dessa 200 variablerna är och vilken vikt de utgör i en webbsidas pagerank är okänt för allmänheten. Genom sökmotoroptimering försöker man att ta reda på hur en webbsida ska optimeras för att vara sökmotorvänlig. 2010 förklarade Google att de kommer att lägga till variabeln hastighet i deras algoritm och nu är webbplatsens hastighet en del av SEO. I ett antal experiment utforskas hur hastigheten på en webbsida påverkar en webbsidas placering på Google's sökresultatsida. Resultaten av dessa experimenten pekade på att hastighetsvariabeln har en förvånansvärt liten påverkan på webbplatsernas positioner..

Bakgrund: Vad orsakar egentligen hur en investerare väljer att investera sina pengar? Det finns många teorier, investeringsstrategier och verktyg, inom traditionell finansiering, för att optimera den totala avkastningen. Trots dessa så menar forskare inom behavioral finance att vid ett investeringsbeslut så påverkas människan mer av psykologiska aspekter än av de finansiella teorierna. Det finns idag anomalier på aktiemarknaden som inte lyckats förklaras med hjälp de traditionella teorierna. För att försöka tolka dessa märkliga rörelser på aktiemarknaden har forskare inriktat sig mer och mer på aktiemarknadspsykologi. .

The purpose of our study was to establish whether the knowledge about vegetarian diet was enough among nurses in order to practise professional nursing. We made an empirical study based on a questionnaire. Twenty-one registered nurses answered the questionnaire that consisted of mostly open questions. The result showed that almost everyone experienced that they gave dietcounselling and many nurses mentioned that dietcounselling was important. The majority of the nurses thought that they had enough knowledge to be able in order to deliver a fundamental dietcounselling but nobody considered that they knew much about vegetarian diet..

Humans have always been fascinated by the thought of bringing non living objects to life. We wanted to explore the possibilities of trying to create an artefact that the audience would consider possess emotional states and have a life of its own. TaS is a interactive chair that functions as a social entity. The idea is to try and enhance the bond between human and artefact, based upon the emotional connection. We try and produce, enhance and maintain this bond through curiosity based interaction.

I studien letas ett sa?tt att go?ra en portning mellan tva? motorer, samt att identifiera och analysera de sva?righeter som kan uppsta? i en flytt av ett spel/applikation mellan tva? system.

In the 1969 Le Thor seminar, Heidegger stated that his philosophical journey could be characterized by three different themes: meaning, truth, place. The first two of these have been the subject of countless studies and discussions, but the question of place is still relatively unexplored in Heidegger?s thought, despite the increased interest for this topic in his writings. Even though scholars like Jeff Malpas, Edward Casey, Stuart Elden and Miguel de Beistegui have written books and essays on the importance of the conception of place in Heidegger?s thinking, there are still many important aspects of this theme to be discussed, given the importance Heidegger himself ascribed to this topic.In this essay, I therefore wish to pose the question of how one can understand the relation between place and the role of tragedy in Heidegger?s conception of truth.

Barockmusik och folkmusik har trots sina genreskillnader ändå en viktig gemensam nämnare, nämligen dansmusiken. Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att undersöka och medvetandegöra likheter och skillnader i spelstilen hos barockmusik och folkmusik och jämföra dessa genrer. Dessa likheter och skillnader har åskådliggjorts genom att låta de båda genrerna genomgå ett experiment. Ett barockstycke stöptes om och spelades på folkmusikers vis och en folklåt fick prova på att framföras med barockstil. Undersökningen utfördes på viola.

SammanfattningDenna studie har haft till uppgift att studera narcissism och aggression. Tidigareforskning har visat att låg självkänsla korrelerar med aggression. Senare forskning visarpå motsatsen att en hög instabil uppblåst självkänsla (narcissistisk) har ett samband medaggression. Detta eftersom personer med en narcissistisk personlighet är lätta attförolämpa och att de när de upplever att deras ego hotat, svarar med ett aggressivtbeteende. I studien undersöktes också om människor med höga narcissistiska värdenockså är orealistiskt optimistiska och har en orealistisk syn på sig själv och sin kontrollöver världen.

This thesis treats the normative power of the European Union and its affect on Macedonia. The main purpose has been to look closer with the use of the application of Ian Manners theory of normative power on the Macedonian case. The focus will be to answer the following questions: Does the European Union act as a normative power in relation to Macedonia, if so, how are these values diffused? Has there been any effect of the spreading of these values? Based on six interviews and the available material of European Union strategies for the Macedonian membership I have attempted to understand to what extent the European Union?s normative power has had an influence in Macedonia. The result of my analysis is confirmation of the European Union as a normative power in Macedonia and the understanding of the methods of application..

The purpose with this thesis is to analyse the image of the Chinese that was constructed and maintained in the materials published in association to the Swedish Mission Covenant Church (SMF) missionary work in China between the years of 1890 to 1914.The analysed material is mainly from the periodical Missionsförbundet, the analyse also include various books, biographies and anthologies. Inspired by Michel Foucault I found my methodological starting point in his discourse term. Frome there, by the help of the texts of Torjer A. Olsen, I constructed a discourse analyses, by which I analysed my materials.The survey showed that the material associated to SMF foremost constructed a negative pictureof the Chinese as unclean, conservative, arrogant, liars, greedy, loud, bad singers and that the woman situation was seen as untenable. A more appreciative picture also emerged and the Chinese was described as polite and strong.

Syftet med detta studium var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader i förmågan till identifikation och konfidensbedömningar för röstigenkänning och ansiktsigenkänning relaterat till yrkeserfarenhet och erfarenhet av identifikationsuppgifter. Undersökning genomfördes som ett experiment med två grupper. Experimentgruppen (N=27) bestod av yrkesverksamma poliser, väktare, larmoperatörer och kriminalvårdare. Kontrollgruppen (N=27) utgjordes av försökspersoner som saknade yrkeserfarenhet av identifikationsuppgifter. Resultatet visade att det fanns en signifikant interaktionseffekt mellan de två identifikationsuppgifterna (röstigenkänning vs.

This study aims to disclose how an asymmetric planogram structure of the brand with the highest actual variety may come to affect the brand itself and its category as a whole. The authors of the study feel that there is a gap still unfilled amongst previous extensive research examining how differences in either space or price vary between categories, products or brands. An in-store experiment was conducted by collecting quantitative data from daily sales, observations of customers and questionnaires. The results show that an asymmetric structure leads to customers being more attentive towards the brand, and perceives it to be more dominant over its surrounding competitors. Furthermore, results indicate that the customer perceived variety increases and we see tendencies to changes in sales..
