Facebook as a tool to integrate : A qualitative- and quantitative historically contextual analysis of the use of Facebook among international students at Stockholm University in 2011 – and how they use it 10 years later in 2021Lindholm, Sebastian January 2021 (has links)
This research study investigates if and how international students in Stockholm, Sweden use Facebook as a tool to make friends and integrate themselves within their new society. To gather information and data for the first part in 2011 a qualitative- and a quantitative approach was used. An online survey was applied to gather numerical data and in-depth interviews were conducted for the qualitative insights. Ten years later, in 2021, follow-up interviews were done with the interviewee subjects of the qualitative data gathering. This to contextualize the findings from 2011, as well as put in perspective with scholarly insights about Facebook and international students presented between the years 2011 and 2021. During the first part of the study, in 2011, Facebook had been available outside the United States for five years and not a significant amount of research had been conducted on the subject. Findings indicated that international students in Stockholm used Facebook to a wider extent when having arrived in a new country. Additional findings showcased that Facebook usage increased in terms of using the site to retrieve information about events and activities. Findings from both 2011 and 2021 showcased that Facebook and other social media applications are mainly used as means to maintain existing relationships, not to search for new friends. Findings also indicated that messenger services have obtained user patterns that originally existed on traditional social networks, such as Facebook. More research must be done on the topic to state whether these findings hold any statistical truthfulness. Suggested topics for further research are included in the conclusions and discussion section of this paper.

Los Andes azules de El Cóndor : Sobre la representación del héroe y el antihéroe literario en Cóndores no entierran todos los días de Gustavo Álvarez Gardeazabal / The Blue Andes of El Cóndor : On the Representation of the Literary Hero & the Anti-hero in Cóndores no entirerran todos los días by Gustavo Álvarez GardeazabalSanchez Duque, Edwin January 2023 (has links)
Este trabajo analiza la representación literaria del héroe y el antihéroe y el uso de la figura narrativa prosopopeya en Cóndores no entierran todos los días (1971), una novela del escritor colombiano Gustavo Álvarez Gardeazabal. La novela se centra en la historia de León María Lozano, conocido como El Cóndor, un personaje real que pasó de ser un simple vendedor de quesos en la galería de Tuluá, su pueblo natal en la cordillera occidental de Colombia, a convertirse en un jefe paramilitar que sembró el terror en las poblaciones aledañas a Tuluá durante la guerra civil colombiana, periodo oscuro conocido como La Violencia (1948-1958). Lozano, motivado por su incondicional lealtad al partido conservador colombiano, que históricamente se ha identificado con el color azul, inició una campaña de intimidaciones y amenazas a sus propios vecinos rojos (de ideología liberal), con el fin de colaborar con la causa conservadora que buscaba convertir a la zona suroccidental de Colombia en territorio puramente conservador. Esta campaña sucia pronto se convertiría en un baño de sangre que causó cientos de miles de muertos a manos de grupos de civiles armados, uno de estos grupos fue el de Los Pájaros, al mando de El Cóndor.
