Grave och gruvan : Undergång och underjord - tematik och symbolik hos Elsa Grave

Bergman, Johanna January 2006 (has links)
<p>This essay contents a theme-centred study of Elsa Grave’s poetry. It presents an all-pervading featured doom-theme and illuminates three motifs and attitudes through which the theme is featured. The presentation includes analyses that bear in mind the double perspectives within Grave’s poems – the subjective and the universal, where also an omnipresent political attitude is represented. The structure of the essay is constituted in the division of the three motifs: an-nihilation and resignation, motherhood and opposition and underworld and retrogression. Symbols adhered to the theme is presented and analysed in the examining text. The study uses and relates to facts about Graves’ life and recounts for her childhood’s visit in a mine that reflects in the metaphorical language of the poems. The survey exposition shows how Grave’s writing thematic and symbolic consistently returns to the underworld of the mine, where also the study comes down and finishes.</p>

Differences in physical aging measured by walking speed: evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing

Weber, Daniela January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Background: Physical functioning and mobility of older populations are of increasing interest when populations are aging. Lower body functioning such as walking is a fundamental part of many actions in daily life. Limitations in mobility threaten independent living as well as quality of life in old age. In this study we examine differences in physical aging and convert those differences into the everyday measure of single years of age. Methods: We use the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, which was collected biennially between 2002 and 2012. Data on physical performance, health as well as information on economics and demographics of participants were collected. Lower body performance was assessed with two timed walks at normal pace each of 8 ft (2.4 m) of survey participants aged at least 60 years. We employed growth curve models to study differences in physical aging and followed the characteristic-based age approach to illustrate those differences in single years of age. Results: First, we examined walking speed of about 11,700 English individuals, and identified differences in aging trajectories by sex and other characteristics (e.g. education, occupation, regional wealth). Interestingly, higher educated and non-manual workers outperformed their counterparts for both men and women. Moreover, we transformed the differences between subpopulations into single years of age to demonstrate the magnitude of those gaps, which appear particularly high at early older ages. Conclusions: This paper expands research on aging and physical performance. In conclusion, higher education provides an advantage in walking of up to 15 years for men and 10 years for women. Thus, enhancements in higher education have the potential to ensure better mobility and independent living in old age for a longer period. (author's Abstract)

Genus i barnlitteratur, från förr till nu

Johnson, Linda January 2009 (has links)
<p>Denna forskningsstudies syfte är att analysera hur det kvinnliga och manliga framställs i bilderböcker. Studien går ut på att undersöka hur genus gestaltas i både äldre och moderna bilderböcker. Detta har sedan jämförts för att se hur förändringen har varit de senaste 100 åren. Den äldre barnlitteraturen representeras av Elsa Beskows inflytelserika författarskap och de moderna böckerna har valts utifrån deras popularitet på 2000-talet. I studien ingår sex bilderböcker som har analyserats från samma utgångspunkter. Jag har kommit fram till att framställningen av kvinnligt och manligt i böckerna hänger tydligt ihop med hur samhället ser ut. De moderna bilderböckerna är mer medvetna om genusproblematiken och stereotyper är inte lika framträdande som i de äldre böckerna. De studier som tidigare har gjorts inom ämnet har kommit fram till samma sak och i min forskning är även det ett tydligt bevis på detta.</p>

Simulation numérique des compresseurs et des turbines automobiles / Numerical investigation of automotive turbocharger centrifugal compressors and radial turbines

Tartousi, Hadi 17 June 2011 (has links)
L'augmentation de la puissance spécifique du moteur pour une quantité d'énergie consommée donnée, ainsi que le couple à bas régime a toujours été l'un des plus grands défis pour les constructeurs automobiles. Ce but peut être atteint en utilisant un turbocompresseur. Un turbocompresseur automobile est un petit organe entraîné par les gaz d'échappement du moteur à travers une turbine radiale qui transfère mécaniquement l'énergie cinétique au compresseur centrifuge. Le compresseur centrifuge délivre de l'air comprimé aux cylindres pour assurer une meilleure combustion. La technologie a atteint un haut niveau de raffinement, et de nombreuses améliorations ont été étudiées et dans certains cas mises en production. Une large gamme de moteurs à combustion interne et de turbocompresseurs sont disponibles, mais seulement une bonne adaptation entre ces deux composants peut produire un moteur suralimenté efficace. Pour mener à bien les calculs qui permettent d'adapter le moteur au turbocompresseur, il est nécessaire d'avoir une représentation exacte de chaque composant du turbocompresseur et une capacité à déterminer le comportement de l'ensemble du système avec tous ses composants. Dans le cadre de ce travail le compresseur et la turbine sont étudiés pour différents points de fonctionnement et à faible régime en utilisant le code CFD elsA développé par l'Onera. Le travail est divisé en deux parties. La première partie est consacrée à l'étude du compresseur centrifuge avec tous ces composants (roue, diffuseur lisse et volute). Une étude détaillée sur le développement des écoulements secondaires et de l'écoulement de jeu est présentée. La performance de la volute et son influence sur la performance globale du compresseur est également étudiée. Les performances globales du compresseur sont comparées aux mesures expérimentales effectuées à l'ECN et montrent un bon accord. La deuxième partie est consacrée sur l'étude de la turbine à géométrie variable. Seuls le distributeur et la roue sont pris en compte dans les simulations. Une analyse détaillée de l'écoulement dans la turbine est présentée pour deux positions d'ailettes à l'aide des simulations stationnaires et instationnaires. / No abstract

Die reise van Isobelle (1995) van Elsa Joubert : reise deur 'n eeu Suider-Afrikaanse geskiedenis

Smith, Mathilda C. (Mathilda Cecilia) 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 1998. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Elsa Joubert initially acquired her reputation for her travel writing which is mainly about Africa during the fifties. In her texts she not only focusses on the curiosities and visually attractive sites of the countries she tours, but also conveys her extensive knowledge of the history and her special interest in the intimate human aspects of the people. Ons wag op die kaptein (1963) established her name as startling novelist of Southern-African themes. Missionaris (1988) and Die reise van Isobelle (1995) are based on identifiable SouthernAfrican historical information and subtly place historiography under scrutiny. In these texts Joubert thematizes and problematizes historiography, which she finds lacking in its ability to convey a true representation of events. Photo's, recorded visions or other images of an experience of reality still only remain representations of that "reality". Through the process of fictionalization (as in a novel) "a truth" comes to the light, but at the same time the one-sided and relative nature of canonised history is exposed. Through this critical glance at the status quo and canonised white history, which originated under the pressure of anti-colonialism, Joubert has sided with writers such as Jan Rabie and Andre P. Brink in their opposition to Apartheid and desire to contribute toward the constitution of a new South-Africa. In Die reise van Isobel/e Joubert comments, through the use of characters in a family cronicle, on the manner in which people are affected and shaped by their context. The author, through the use of Leonora as sceptical narrator, focalisator and manipulator, ironises for example the steadfast convictions of the patriotic Josias and Agnes, and thereby confers a critical view of politicalideological problems. The romance between Belle, as group bound Afrikaner girl, and the interesting foreign Indian Hussein Badir, which ends in his death, illustrates the discord when racist prejudice clashes with personal experience. Leo serves as a model of freedom and hope which coincides with detachment from conventional political convictions. Different kinds of journeys can be identified in coherence with the characters, e.g. physical, literal journeys, religious journeys and political journeys. The family chronicle eventually becomes an example of Afrikaner society's emancipation or journey from a patriarchal to a free independent way oflife. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elsa Joubert het aanvanklik bekendheid verwerf vir haar reisverhale oor veral Afrika uit die vyftigetjare. Sy is in die tekste nie slegs toeristies ingestel op die wetens- en besienswaardighede van die Iande wat sy besoek nie, maar toon, naas 'n omvattende kennis van die geskiedenis, ook aandag vir die intiem menslike doen en late. Ons wag op die kaptein (1963) het haar naam gevestig as opspraakwekkende romanskrywer oor Suider-Afrikaanse temas. Ook Missionaris (1988) en Die reise van Isobelle (1995) is op herkenbare gegewens gebaseer en plaas geskiedskrywing op 'n subtiele manier in die soeklig. In hierdie tekste tematiseer en problematiseer Joubert die geskiedskrywing, wat volgens haar tekortskiet om 'n oortuigende beeld te gee. Foto's, opgetekende visioene of andersoortige weergawes van 'n werklikheidsbelewing bly steeds representasies. Deur die_ proses van fiksionalisering (soos in 'n roman) kom minstens "'n waarheid" aan die lig, maar dit bevestig terselfdertyd die eensydige en relatiewe aard van die gekanoniseerde geskiedenis. Deur hierdie kritiese blik op die status quo en die gekanoniseerde wit geskiedenis, wat onder andere weens die druk van die anti-kolonialisme ontstaan bet, sluit Joubert haar aan by skrywers soos Jan Rabie en Andre P Brink se opposisie teen Apartheid en versugting om by te dra tot die totstandkoming van 'n miwe Suid-Afrika. In Die reise van lsobelle lewer Joubert, deur die gebruik van karakters in 'n familiegeskiedenis, kommentaar oor die wyse waarop mense geraak en gevorm word deur bulle konteks. Die skryfster ironiseer deur die gebruik van Leonora as skeptiese verteller, fokalisator en manipuleerder, byvoorbeeld die vaste oortuigings van die patriotiese Josias en Agnes en gee sodoende 'n kritiese blik op polities-ideologiese vraagstukke. Die liefdesverhouding tussen Belle as groepsgebonde Afrikanermeisie en die vir haar interessant-vreemde Indiese Hussein Badir wat op sy dood uitloop, illustreer die tweespalt wanneer rassistiese vooroordele bots met eie ervaring. Leo dien as voorbeeld van vryheid en hoop wat gepaardgaan met die losbreek uit konvensionele politieke oortuigings. Verskillende soorte reise kan in samehang met die · karakters onderskei word, naamlik fisiese, letterlike reise, geestelik-godsdienstige reise en politieke reise. Hierdie familiegeskiedenis word uiteindelik eksemplaries van die Afrikanersamelewitig se emansipasie of reis van 'n patriargale tot 'n vrye, onafhanklike tipe leefwyse.
